You fight as if you were from my own brood, warrior. Hsst! My children are now free due to your ssselflessss act. Thank you for your trussst. I have much to think about. I would ssspeak with your leadersss, after I have gathered my brood around me.

Mother or Matriarch is the oldest, wisest and strongest of all the hairy deathclaws found in and around Chicago.

Background

She is the leader of her kind, referring to them as her brood. However, she was captured by the Beastlords of Mardin, and was used by them to gain control over the deathclaws. She was liberated by the Warrior of the Brotherhood of Steel. Thankful, she permitted some of her kind to join the Brotherhood, and even joined it herself.

Matriarch as she appears in Bunker Gamma, accompanied by the recruit "Mother"

Mother appears only in Fallout Tactics. Her appearance is different in the various settings where she is encountered:

  • In Mardin she appears with pure white fur and is labelled as "Matriarch".
  • In Bunker Gamma she appears with pale gray fur and is labelled as "Matriarch" as she runs around the garage area.
  • When recruited into the party she appears with dark gray fur and is labelled as "Mother". It is done, probably, to distinguish two separately-programmed models that made up this character: a recruit and quest-important character.

Bugs

If you recruit the Mother, then choose the perk Mutate! to replace one of her traits, she will actually lose it but the replaced trait won't appear.
