Dinky the T-Rex is the name of a landmark in Novac, part of the Dino Dee-lite Motel.
Background
Originally Dinky was a pre-War "tourist trap" in the tourist-rich Las Vegas. Dinky the T-Rex is Novac's defensive stronghold; Manny Vargas and Craig Boone are two snipers that alternate shifts inside of Dinky's mouth. The New California Republic once used this motel to snipe Caesar's Legion soldiers via Dinky the Dinosaur's mouth.
Layout
The lot can be accessed from the left or right of the fence that rests in front of Dinky. Inside is the Dino Bite gift shop. A set of stairs can be climbed to access his mouth. There is also a room behind the counter containing many rocket souvenirs and the unique weapon, That Gun. The motel itself is located behind Dinky.
Notes
- Cass refers to Dinky as a giant gecko. The first time the Courier arrives in Novac with her, she will say that she thought Dinky to be real the first time she saw it.
- It is possible to talk to the sniper on duty in its mouth by climbing up Dinky's back and then along its arms.
Appearances
Dinky the T-Rex appears only in Fallout: New Vegas and is mentioned by Follows-Chalk in Honest Hearts.
Behind the scenes
The souvenir shop is modeled after the Cabazon Dinosaurs.
