Flies are insects of the order Musca domestica, known to live throughout North America, from New California to the Commonwealth.[3]

Characteristics[]

Unlike most bloatflies, the common house fly weathered the apocalypse without significant mutations. Their ecological niche remains unaltered as well, serving a vital role in the consumption of detritus. Much to the irritation of ghouls, this means that flies feed on the nutrients of their rotting bodies.[1][4][5]

Notes[]

Appearances[]

Flies appear in Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, and in Fallout 76.
