Trog (Van Buren)

Trogs are creatures found in the American Southwest in 2253.
==Background==
The Hoover Dam trogs were nomadic at one time, thanks to a cave-in at their previous dwellings. Before Dodge and his troops came to Hoover, Billy-Bob and his trogs took up residence in Baseline, figuring it was pretty secure from caving in. No one argued with the trogs, and when Dodge came to Hoover, he asked if they would help out Otto with the maintenance in exchange for food, goods, and water. The trogs accepted, content to mosey around Baseline, making sure every light was flashing correctly, ever since.
==Characteristics==
===Biology===
These trogs differ greatly from those suffering from the unique Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion outbreak in the Pitt. These are intelligent, if largely uneducated, denizens of the wasteland well able to co-exist with other human societies if they choose. Through generations of cave-dwelling and regular exposure to mild radiation, trog skin is thick and resilient and has a dull white color due to melanin deficiency which also causes their hair, when present, to be a yellowish color. They are, however, very sensitive to light, a trait they do share with their more animalistic brethren from the Pitt.
==Appearances==
Trogs were to appear in Van Buren, the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios.
