By Niall WalshEditor in Chief

There's a longstanding history of cryptids showing up in Fallout games and Fallout 76 is no different. There's nothing quite like wandering the wasteland and stumbling across a wild Wendigo

Here's all of the Fallout 76 Cryptid locations, track them down at your own peril.

Fallout 76 Cryptid Locations

There are seven Fallout 76 cryptids that we will address and you can find them all in a variety of locations. We'll run through each Fallout 76 cryptid and where you might find them, beware as some are random chance so could take a while to track down.

None of these will be the entire set of locations, but instead the easiest and most likely locations you can encounter them.

Wendigo Locations

The Wendigo is a creature that has popped up all over popular culture in the last decade or so. This Fallout 76 cryptid can be found in more locations than any other on this list.

  • During the One Violent Night event (named special Wendigo, Nightstalker)
  • South of Abbie's bunker near the abandoned truck

  • Savage Divide, the Mountainside B&B

Sheepsquatch Locations

The Sheepsquatch Fallout 76 cryptid may have a fun name, but take it for granted and you'll regret it. This hulking cross between a sheep and sasquatch is a very grindy battle if unprepared.
