	For an overview of yao guai variants, see yao guai.

Background[]

Named by descendants of those held in Chinese internment camps before the Great War, yao guai are mutated American black bears.^[1][2] They are one of the more vicious creatures of the wasteland, having razor sharp claws and teeth, and a nasty temperament.^[3]

Characteristics[]

Yao guai are large, mutated ursines that are descended from the bears that lived across America before the Great War. They are able to reproduce, as evidenced by the presence of cubs. Wild yao guai will attack nearly any other animals or people they encounter, including deathclaws. Despite this, yao guai exhibit a gentle, familial bond toward one another when found together and can even be domesticated.^[4]

Locations[]

A den is found in the Wilds, near where a Vertibird drops off Titus and Maximus.

Appearances[]

Behind the scenes[]
