When one thinks of Bethesda’s Fallout series, one does not typically come up with the word ‘dragon’ when picturing post-apocalyptic wastelands, Pip-Boys, and Nuka Colas as far as the eye can see. Yet, here we are, as Fallout 76 officially has – you guessed it – freaking dragons. The news comes by way of the folks over at Comic Book, who recently visited Bethesda and tried their hands at taming the wide and wonderful lands of West Virginia, encountering various critters and creatures along the way. One such creature is a Scorchbeast, a flying draconic terror that we typically know by another name. Check out the new gameplay footage below to see the Scorchbeast in action:

Dragons don’t typically appear in Fallout lore, though since this is technically a spin-off title Bethesda is very much allowed to take a few pages out of Skyrim’s playbook. Even if that wasn’t the case, Todd Howard can do whatever he pleases because he’s Todd Howard. Thankfully, this means we get to fight dragons while John Denver’s ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ plays on repeat in the background.

Here’s a brief description of Scorchbeasts, courtesy of the Fallout wiki:

“An enormous mutated bat-like monster with a humanoid body, pointed ears and membranous wings, allowing it to fly and soar through the air. Strong and aggressive, it attacks with razor-sharp teeth, claws, and a powerful sonic blast capable of shattering wood and metal structures.”

Fans will get their chance to take down Stormbeasts when Fallout 76 officially launches for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 14, 2018.
