Characteristics
Deathclaws are hideous creatures that were created due to the radiation from the nuclear war in 2077 between the main super-powers, mainly China and America. These creatures are the strongest and most terrorising animals to encounter in the Wastelands. Although the Mojave desert featured in Fallout: New Vegas is more isolated and barren, Deathclaws are more common in the Capital Wastelands of Washington in Fallout 3.

Deathclaws are fast, agile and extremely dangerous, with long sharp claws that could decapitate a victim with ease. The Enclave, the faction who claim to be the american government, use mind-controlling devices on some Deathclaws to make them soldiers. These devices can be broken however and used against The Enclave.
