Kheee! First, build throne. Then take rocket. Kheee! Some of my shiny friends help me. What time is it? Scuttle-and-bustle time. Kheee! The sun is hot. But the throne is cool. Khee-akaahhh-kuhhh... oh, me insides don't feel right. Sleepy time. Kheee!— Roach King, Fallout 3 Official Game Guide

The Roach King is a hostile inhabitant of the Capital Wasteland in 2277.

Background

As the name suggests, the Roach King has somehow tamed radroaches and has thus become their "king". The Roach King's throne is located northeast of Minefield and directly west of Temple of the Union, due north of the Regulator HQ. It is made up of tires, a regular chair, a clock and a play rocket as usually found on playgrounds.

Notes

  • The Roach King does not have a fixed gender or appearance, meaning his/her appearance is random every time.
  • Unlike many special characters, The Roach King is not noticeably more durable than normal, having as much health as a standard heavy-weapons raider.
  • The player may find the Roach King already dead near his throne, due to attacks by radscorpions or deathclaws that wander close by.
  • Despite being a hostile character, the Lone Wanderer will lose Karma from stealing from the boxes near The Roach King's throne (since his/her Karma is defined as "neutral").
  • A mini nuke can be found inside The Roach King's throne.

Appearances

The Roach King appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

PCPC The Roach King may sometimes spawn as a female. If this happens, she will have a beard. [verified]
