Fallout New Vegas: The 18 Strongest Enemies
There are many different kinds of enemies in Fallout: New Vegas. Take a look at some of the best ones you can find in the game.
In Fallout: New Vegas, the world is harsh and dangerous. A lot of the enemies want to eat, melt, beat, and otherwise harm people in general. Raiders who are hooked to chemicals and carry chainsaws, golf clubs, and flamethrowers, as well as coyote-rattlesnake monsters that can disappear, are just some of the many enemies that players will face.
People who aren’t careful could get hit in the head with a claw or a gun barrel. When an enemy finally comes up against a player, some of them might not be that dangerous. In Fallout: New Vegas, though, other enemies will definitely fight, especially if you go up against them without being ready or when you’re not as strong.
Giant Cazador
- Level: 27
- HP: 350
Some gamers who have played New Vegas may have chosen the fastest way to get to the city in the distance that the game is named after. These players would get a rude surprise when they are attacked by a huge group of Cazadors who will wipe them out completely. This is a clever way for the game to tell the player that they shouldn’t go this way. Instead, they should take the longer road to get to know the world before going into this famous city.
It’s already very hard to deal with regular cazadors, but the giant version is even worse. These changed bugs are gross, and if a player isn’t ready, they can quickly drain their HP. Those who are Courier should stay away from these enemies and eliminate them with strong weapons if they don’t want to lose.
Moe
- Level: 7
- HP: 150
When playing New Vegas, centaurs are pretty scary enemies, and players should think twice before going up against them. Not only do centaurs look scary, but if the player isn’t ready, they can attack in groups and take away their health. Ranged attacks are the best way to eliminate these enemies, but players should be careful of the radioactive spit projectile, which can do a lot of damage.
For those who thought the normal centaurs were scary enough, there is an even scarier form of them called Moe that can be found in a plain hole on the way to Black Mountain. During the quest Still in the Dark, players must track down numerous Brotherhood of Steel paladins that he and his group slaughtered.
Giant Yao Guai
- Level: 32
- HP: 475
Honest Hearts is one of the many great add-ons that came out for Fallout: New Vegas and helped make the game one of the best Fallout games ever. People who buy this DLC will face a lot of tough and unique enemies. One of them, the yao guai, is a mutant bear that is especially dangerous and can be very scary to fight.
If you think this bear is scary, the giant yao guai will make your heart jump into your mouth. This fierce enemy doesn’t spare any victims, and it can be scary to fight if players don’t keep their distance. Every player should always have a long-range tool that they can hit accurately and do a lot of damage with.
Specimen 73
- Level: 50
- HP: 675
A lot of people think that Old World Blues is one of the best DLCs ever made for video games. The area around Big MT is full of big dangers. The feared Cazadores that live in the Mojave Wasteland use the area as a training ground.
The Cazadore here is called Specimen 73 and is one of the best in the game. Before even thinking about taking this enemy down, players should make sure they have a lot of weapons and the best armor they can find.
Radscorpion Queen
- Level: 9
- HP: 200
Radscorpions are some of the hardest monsters in the Fallout games, and this one in New Vegas is no different. Low-level players who don’t know what they’re doing can be wiped out by these monsters.
Radscorpion Queen is the hardest form of this monster that players can face in the game. There is no doubt that this monster is the biggest Radscorpion in New Vegas. It will wipe out any players who aren’t ready to face it.
Super Mutant Master
- Level: 12
- HP: 360
One of the most famous races in Fallout is the Super Mutant. They are usually enemies, but in Fallout: New Vegas, there are a few that are friends. The Super Mutant Master is the strongest type of Super Mutant in the game.
These scary enemies are very good at fighting with large weapons like sledgehammers, miniguns, and LMGs. They need to be very careful when they’re up against this enemy, because if they make a mistake, their health bars will be gone in an instant.
Giant Evolved Centaur
- Level: 18
- HP: 220
If you’ve already met Moe, just wait for this enemy. People who are centaurs are some of the scariest enemies in the Fallout games. This is always a scary sight to see these mutant monsters, and they look even scarier now that Fallout: New Vegas has changed the graphics.
Because of this, it’s clear why the Giant Evolved Centaur can be so tough in the game. Many Fallout fans think that this huge monster should be in more than one place in the game in order to be fair.
Ghost Of She
- Level: 35
- HP: 550
It was a lot of fun to explore Zion Canyon and talk to different groups in Honest Hearts. But threats like the yao guai made a lot of people question why they were even going on this trip in the first place.
During the quest Rite of Passage, you’ll meet one of the most interesting yao guai. When players are high on drugs, they meet a special enemy called Ghost of She. This enemy is covered in flames and can copy itself, which makes the Courier clearly imagine a lot more than they need to.
Glowing One
- Level: 26
- HP: 400
For those who play Fallout: New Vegas, they will fight and come across many different types of zombies. The nuclear bombs that were dropped during the Great War turned people into ghouls. Some zombies have kept their minds, but others have gone crazy. One kind of wild ghoul that can be very dangerous to players is the bright one.
Ghouls that glow are wild and have powers that come from radiation. Their green glow makes them stand out from their weaker peers. They have 400 hit points and 60 damage in close combat at level 26. They can also use an aura blast move that does radiation damage.
Overseer
- Level: 12
- HP: 900
In the game Fallout: New Vegas, Vault 34 is full of different kinds of wild ghouls who used to live there. The sad thing is that the monitor died the same way as the people it was living with.
Unfortunately, the supervisor is a lot stronger than the other zombies, which is another bad thing. When hit, the overseer does 100 damage, but it has 900 hit points, so it is very tough. It also has an aura blast that looks like a bright one but does radiation damage.

Legendary Cazador
- Level: 25
- HP: 400
If you talk about Cazadores, Fallout: New Vegas fans will start to cry. Cazadores, which are changed tarantula hawk wasps that were used in trials, are tough enemies to fight by yourself. Combining the initial attack damage with the poison that may quickly eradicate you will make other players think twice about hitting them.
Cazadores are already pretty strong, but the Legendary Cazador is even stronger. The Legendary Cazador has 400 hit points and can take 120 damage from close range. Its poison does 8 damage every second for 30 seconds.

The Night Stalker is a scary monster that can appear out of nowhere and scare players. The scary thing about night stalkers is that they are a test animal combination with the body of a coyote and the head and tail of a rattlesnake.
Another unsettling aspect of their character is the way they bark and hiss at once. Following the trend of mythical animals, there is a mythical type of night stalkers. The scary legendary night stalker has 250 hit points and a striking move that does 100 damage.
Legendary Deathclaw

There have been deathclaws in every Fallout game so far. They are very dangerous creatures. Deathclaws are one of the most well-known monsters in the series. The fact that they are well-known doesn’t make them any less scary.

Deathclaw Alpha Male

There is more than one legendary Deathclaw that roams the sands of the Mojave Wasteland. The legendary Deathclaw is very dangerous. It is best for players to stay away from the Deathclaw alpha male unless they are sure they know how to beat it.
This male Deathclaw is twice as fast as a normal Deathclaw when it comes to running. The only thing that makes the Deathclaw alpha male different from the famous Deathclaw is a small change in the color of his skin. This male’s attack does 50 more damage than the legendary Deathclaw’s, but it doesn’t have as much life.
Deathclaw Mother
- Level: 30
- HP: 700
When players come across the Deathclaw mother, they need to be careful. Deathclaw mothers have greenish-blue skin and horns that sweep backwards, which makes them look very scary. Most players will think twice before going up to them.
The mother Deathclaw has a little less strength and does a little less damage than the male alpha Deathclaw, but she can run faster than the male. Most of the time, the mother is with her kids. If any of her babies pass away, she will lose her mind and attack anything she sees that isn’t a Deathclaw.
