Brahmin are creatures living in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.
Background
Brahmin are very weak animals that have been domesticated and herded throughout the years since the Great War. They can, albeit rarely, be seen wandering in herds around the Mojave Wasteland.
Through their domestication, they have been used primarily for meat and milk, and their hides are tanned to make leather. Traders use them to carry heavy loads, and some people keep them as pets.
Characteristics
Biology
As a result of the constant exposure to radiation, these formerly normal cows have sprouted a second independent head. Ironically, when brahmin are born with only one head, they are called mutated. Brahmin also have eight stomachs. According to Rose, male brahmin also have four testicles. Their skin has turned a toasty, dusty orange-red color from the fallout exposure and their horns have become a dirty brown. Their udder has also grown abnormally large (almost dragging on the ground).
Gameplay attributes
Brahmin have a very minuscule amount of hit points, and as such even a lower-leveled character can kill them with a 9mm pistol. When brahmin attack, they strike with their horns and batter into a foe. This is not highly damaging, and is rarley seen, as brahmin generally flee when attacked. When a brahmin is killed, it will let out a loud bellow and flop to the ground.

Water brahmin
Water brahmin serve a similar purpose to caravans in Fallout: New Vegas, although the only goods they carry are sacks of water, an essential for life in the Mojave Wasteland. These brahmin assist the Crimson Caravan in delivering water where it is required. Fixed locations are near Miguel's Pawn Shop and the 188 trading post. Although they carry water packs, they won't have any water when killed and looted.

Notable brahmin
Notes
- If the Courier crouches, disarms their weapon, and presses the "activate" button while in front of a brahmin, the brahmin will tip over (more specifically, enter a ragdoll state). This is known as brahmin tipping. Every time a brahmin is pushed (even if they are already on the ground), it counts toward the Knocked Up challenge.
- Brahmin that are used by merchants to carry their wares are usually referred to as "pack brahmin." If they are carrying water, they are known as "water brahmin."
- It is impossible to sever or destroy one brahmin head without also destroying the other.
- There is a giant brahmin skeleton (about 2 times larger than normal skeletons) found south of Jacobstown.
Appearances

Sounds
- Most common sound of a Brahmin: mooing
