Yao guai (Honest Hearts)

Yao guai are creatures residing in Zion Canyon . 
==Background==
===Biology===
The physical build of the Zion variant does not drastically deviate from pre-War bears as much as other cases of yao guai found in the Capital Wasteland and the Commonwealth. Comparatively, they are overall less dog-like in their posture and movement and sport thicker patches of fur and more body fat. Additionally, since their upper body, chest and arms are not as massive, the Appalachian yao guai have a comparatively more traditional bear-like posture and gait. Yao guai are generally larger than their unmutated predecessors and more aggressive.
===Gameplay attributes===
Yao guai are extremely fast and powerful creatures, second only to deathclaws in terms of raw strength and speed. Unlike deathclaws, they are less alert, as the player character may come in contact with one when it is asleep or lying down. Yao guai do not attack bighorners in Zion Canyon. The Animal Friend perk does not affect them and they will become hostile towards the player character upon detection regardless.
==Variants==
===Yao guai===
These creatures are nearly identical to the yao guai found in the Capital Wasteland in Fallout 3. They are normally found in groups of two to four.
===Yao guai cub===
Smaller, weaker and less deadly versions of their parents, though their being in close proximity to the normal variants means there is still danger nearby. 
===Giant yao guai===
Even larger versions of yao guai. A giant yao guai is a significant threat to low-level characters. During Arrival at Zion, a giant yao guai can be seen attacking and killing a green gecko on top of a rock, moments after Follows-Chalk points it otu. A few of these yao guai can be found near the Red Gate.
==Notes==
* Before Honest Hearts was released, the only piece of yao guai meat that could be found in the game was a single piece in the Legate's war tent (requiring starting Veni, Vidi, Vici).
* Reflecting his naivety, Follows-Chalk will often mention how there couldn't possibly be anything as bad as yao guai in the civilized world while traveling as a companion.
* Killing 10 yao guai will complete the Yao Guai Hunter challenge.
