News Fallout Fallout Season 2 Reveals a Missing Detail in the Deathclaw Origin Story While Fallout season 2 confirms much of what we knew about Deathclaws, it does fill in a fascinating missing piece of their origin story By Matthew Byrd | Published on January 7, 2026 Photo: Amazon Prime Video Comment 0 Share New Share Photo: Amazon Prime Video This article contains spoilers for Fallout Season 2, Episode 4. Fallout season 2’s fourth episode finally introduced viewers to the Deathclaw: the towering reptilian monstrosities that have long been featured players in Fallout fans’ nightmares. And while the show’s version of a Deathclaw is (thankfully) largely true to the show’s source material, the most notable thing about the Deathclaws’ series debut is something about the creature’s origin story we didn’t learn in the games. Fallout‘s most recent episode (titled “The Demon in the Snow”) begins with a flashback of Cooper Howard fighting the war against the People’s Liberation Army of China somewhere in Alaska. During a heated arctic battle, Howard encounters a Deathclaw that is seemingly also battling the People’s Liberation soldiers. We don’t see the creature at that time (that comes much later in the episode during the “current” timeline), but anyone who has ever been unlucky enough to run into one of these creatures in the Fallout game knows exactly what he’s looking at and why he’s practically frozen in fear. Despite some claims to the contrary that are currently making the rounds online, this scene confirms much of what we already knew about Deathclaws. The Fallout games and their associated supplementary material confirmed that Deathclaws were not mere post-apocalyptic mutations but were instead creatures manufactured by the U.S. government sometime during the Great War. We even know that their genetic structure is largely based on the DNA of a Jackson’s chameleon and that they were intended to function as super soldiers that could thrive (so to speak) in any environment. While Deathclaws evolved over the years (and were later modified by various nefarious forces), those aspects of their origin have long been part of the Fallout canon. What’s new is the seemingly simple idea that Deathclaws were ever deployed into combat zones. Until now, there’s never been any reference to the Deathclaws actually being used during the Great War. Actually, a previously popular theory suggests they were one of the many catastrophic (and sometimes hypothetical) weapons developed during that time that weren’t actually utilized. Instead, some believed they simply escaped from their labs sometime after the bombs dropped. Now, though, the Fallout series (which we’ve previously established is part of the greater Fallout canon) confirms that the United States did actually deploy Deathclaws in at least one battle. Granted, it’s not the kind of game-changing (quite literally) lore revelation that the Fallout series has previously introduced, but it does fill in a fun missing piece of the Deathclaw puzzle. At the same time, it raises some new questions about Deathclaws and greater Fallout lore that may never be answered. Most notably, the nature of Deathclaws’ behavior in the games strongly suggested that they are largely territorial creatures who will viciously defend an area but are not necessarily trying to aggressively conquer new territories. That they were seemingly successfully used as relatively tactical instruments of war suggests that their more independent traits may be part of their later development. But that’s just the kind of hyper-nerdy overthinking you (hopefully) love us for. Truth be told, Amazon’s Fallout series remains both a faithful adaptation of the games and a wonderful addition to their wild worlds.

The following is a preview of Daily Signal Politics Editor Bradley Devlin’s interview with Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall on “The Signal Sitdown.” Marshall is a Republican candidate in the Alabama Senate race. Nothing in this interview should be construed as an endorsement of Marshall and his campaign. The Daily Signal is a 501(c)(3) and does not endorse candidates. The full interview premieres on The Daily Signal’s YouTube page at 6:30 a.m. Eastern on Jan. 8. The George Floyd riots in 2020 brought a dark undercurrent of violence on the Left to the forefront of American politics. The violence had its epicenters in progressive cities, but it was very much national—thousands of arrests occurred at hundreds of violent demonstrations in what became the largest civil-unrest-related insurance event in American history. Many of America’s political leaders cowered in the face of this mass hysteria and made commitments to defund the police or ‘reimagine’ law enforcement. The agents of chaos received a powerful message: Violence will get you what you want.  Fast forward to 2024: President Trump is nearly assassinated twice. Today, the nation is still reeling from the public assassination of Charlie Kirk. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall has some firsthand experience with the violent Left. In February 2024, a radical Antifa leftist bombed his office. Whether it’s leftist violence, policing, or immigration, Marshall’s tenure as Alabama attorney general, which stretches back to 2017, had touchpoints with almost every major political issue facing America in the last ten years. Now, he’s running for one of Alabama’s seats in the U.S. Senate. And he is this week’s guest on “The Signal Sitdown” In the early morning hours of Feb. 24, 2024, a bomb stuffed with nails and firecrackers concealed inside of a package was detonated outside of Marshall’s office in Montgomery. No one was injured in the attack. Surveillance footage recovered from the FBI showed the perpetrator, 26-year-old Kyle Calvert, putting up stickers around the area with slogans such as “eat the rich” and “abolish ICE.” “It’s strange when you show up at your office and learn that an Antifa supporting individual who hates Christian public servants—so I’m like exhibit A for him—sets off an explosive device at our office and had put Antifa stickers around on buildings and on parking garages,” Marshall told The Daily Signal. The incident, Marshall said, “shows how far the left’s willing to go.” “I mean, look, we’ve just survived kind of as a nation the trauma of Charlie Kirk’s assassination,” Marshall said. “And we’ve seen how far the left is not only willing to go with violent words, but now violent actions and to some extent condone that.” The February 2024 bombing and the violence that has followed should be a “wake up call of what we’re facing in the conservative movement,” said Marshall. “It is not only folks that claim they’re willing to debate us in the marketplace of ideas, but willing to eliminate those who are aggressively pushing back against their agenda.” “It was also a motivator in a strange way,” Marshall said of the attack. “We have to engage and I cannot allow somebody’s violence, violent action against us, and some of the rhetoric that we see out there that plays out in social media, to deter me from doing the things I need to do.” “It has created a sense of urgency, that one that we need to continue to embrace,” the attorney general added. That urgency is felt acutely by public servants tasked to make communities safe. “It’s not rocket science,” Marshall told The Daily Signal. “You surge law enforcement into areas where bad guys are doing bad things and you’re able to stop the flow of bad acts,” Marshall said of Alabama’s approach to maintaining law and order. “We saw the [crime] numbers drop, and that matters, but what gets lost in the numbers is those are real people. Those are real lives,” Marshall added. “Where I saw the tangible difference is when I get the phone call from the woman in Montgomery who’d lived there almost her whole life, who talked about the community in which she lived as a place that there was violent crime going on, and the fact that now she felt safe to just sit out on her front porch,” Marshall explained. “I mean, that’s making a difference and that’s showing that, collectively, not only good policy can work but, when you have people that are willing to lead, you’re able to be able to make a difference.” The rising tide of violence in America is in part a result of bad policies that stem from the George Floyd riots. “What we saw was the spike of violent crime across our country,” Marshall said. “A consequence of the post George Floyd era was a demonizing of the profession of law enforcement and a reduction of the number of people that were raising their hands saying they want to protect and serve,” Marshall continued. “One of the saddest things for me is when I’ll talk to law enforcement officers who’ve been in service for 25, 30 years, and they’re not willing to look at their own child and say, ‘man, it’d be great for you to follow in my footsteps.’” “It’s a sad commentary,” Marshall said. “Law enforcement is really the only thing between order and chaos, and we need to embrace their role in their function in our communities.” The post Antifa Bombed His Office for Being Christian and Conservative appeared first on The Daily Signal.
