10 Cut Fallout Enemies Designed To Give You Nightmares

10. Sentient Octopus / Sea Creatures - Fallout 4

Given how large Fallout 4 already is, it was inevitable that not everything on the drawing board would make it to the game.

A full quest called '20 Leagues Under the Sea', involving the underwater Vault 120, just off the coast of Nahant, was cut. While there is little available detail about the mission, it would have involved the Institute, hydroponics, and mutated sea creatures (like the mutated dolphins whose carcasses are scattered through the game's shorelines.)

There are a few intriguing bits about this mission:

- You would have had access to a harpoon weapon long before one eventually appeared in Far Harbour

- Todd Howard said it would have involved a 'Bioshock-style' vault

- It would have involved fighting a massive, sentient octopus that lived around the Vault

It always seemed odd in the 3D Fallouts that despite being full of underwater monsters, you could never be attacked while underwater. The thought of diving into a lake to retrieve a set of Power Armour or a loot box, only to look up and see a Mirelurk King or mutated dolphin coming at you (or, worse yet, not seeing it as you get blindsided in the murky water) gets the heart racing.

Imagine the encounter with a massive octopus - underwater with limited movement, having to watch your air, wondering where the next attack was going to come from...

Truly a lost opportunity.
