==Notes==
* Killing Snuffles will result in NCR Infamy.
* Because of all the nearby deathclaws that sometimes stray into the town and attack the occupants of Sloan, Snuffles can be killed, making Claws Mended impossible to complete, if not done so already.
* Moira Brown of Fallout 3 wondered if mole rats could be domesticated. Snuffles, along with Pumpkin from Fallout 3, Noodles from Fallout 76 and the Animal Friend perk, prove that they can.
* Snuffles will turn hostile if the Courier is disguised as a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, even if the Courier has made a truce between NCR and Brotherhood during For the Republic, Part 2.
* Snuffles will be hostile if the Courier has a bad reputation with the NCR and can see through disguises. 
* Snuffles may be attacked by a bark scorpion if it spawns too close to town. Snuffles will usually kill the scorpion and survive the battle, only to succumb to poison later.
* Despite his alleged hatred of all types of rats, Rex will not attack Snuffles.
