Depending on the Courier's level, they will either be regular, young, or blind. Another location with a high number of deathclaws is the Gypsum train yard.
Here, one can find the unique legendary deathclaw, the most powerful creature in the Mojave Wasteland, along with other variants of generic deathclaws. There is also a deathclaw-filled cave by the name of Dead Wind Cavern. There are two larger deathclaws called the "deathclaw alpha male" and the "deathclaw mother" as well as a number of smaller baby deathclaws and three to four deathclaw eggs. The largest group on a marked area of the map is found in Quarry Junction, northwest of Sloan. The largest group is found at deathclaw promontory, an unmarked location on the east side of the Colorado River, across from the cliffside prospector camp.
Their Damage Threshold is 15, equal to that of a suit of combat armor. Most deathclaw variants are armored, making them more resilient against attacks. However, unlike in Fallout 3, deathclaws are never encountered randomly, and always appear in specific locations. The game introduces several new variations of the creature, and they are found in much larger numbers.
