![]() ![]() Based on the snallygaster strain, researchers tweaked the genome, producing a giant that shattered the containment unit, but was otherwise stable (excepting the absence of a discernible head). Using the FEVS-006458 strain on October 23, 2077, scientists created a stable - if horrifying mutation. The Grafton Monster, once a cryptid associated with West Virginia, was made flesh by West Tek's experiments at their Huntersville facility. This was noted by Shelby O'Rourke from her shack in The Mire where she theorized that the near extinction of the human race made room for cryptids to come out of hiding. While considered to be hoaxes and superstition, cryptids still played a large part of the culture before the war as well, with examples of this cryptid craze coming from Point Pleasant erecting a Mothman statue, Vault-Tec University's football team called the Fighting Wendigos, Tales from the West Virginia Hills focusing on a different cryptid for each of its stories and Grafton holding a local holiday where the "Grafton Monster" would appear in the parade (and the real Grafton Monster appearing in it after the Great War).Īfter the Great War, cryptids began to appear far more often than they ever had before. But many cryptids actually existed before the Great War, and both the United States Armed Forces and United States Intelligence (like the Sugar Grove Sigint) kept records on any cryptid encounters up until the Great War. Cryptids were a part of local superstitions with cryptozoologists, like Shelby O'Rourke doubted by her community.
