Trogg

Trogg ist die umgangssprachliche Bezeichnung für Menschen, die mit dem Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion (oder "TDC") infiziert sind und langsam zu herumhetzenden Troglodyten degenerieren, die das Licht scheuen.

Hintergrund

Troggs leben in The Pitt (früher Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). Aufgrund der Verseuchung der Stadt mit der Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion wurden etwa 25% der Bevölkerung zu diesen wilden Monstern, die im Dunklen lauern und alles in ihrer Nähe angreifen. Manche ihrer Laute geben Hinweise auf ihre menschliche Abstammung, es kommt vor, dass sie ein "Danke" murmeln, wenn man sie tötet. Trotzdem hat die Degeneration ihre Menschlichkeit ausgelöscht, da sie sogar Freunde und geliebte Menschen mit äußerster Brutalität töten.

Charakteristik

Biologie

Concept art for Trogs in The Pitt.

As a direct result of their disease, trogs are hairless, naked, primate-like creatures with long, gangly arms and legs and crawl on all fours. Their skin appears raw and wrinkled, and their faces are scrunched into permanent scowls, with their teeth constantly bared. They have four fingers and four toes, and their feet appear to be in the process of turning into "hands", adding to their primate-like appearance. They have no external genitalia, or any other visual clues to their gender, ruling out sexual reproduction.

Eigenschaften

Despite their savage appearance, trogs are capable of hunting in packs like wolves. While some may simply charge at the player head-on, others will attempt to sneak up on the player from behind or above. Their speed is almost on par with a yao guai, and they are able to leap even farther.

Trog packs usually circle their prey, slowly closing in, and the player can be quickly surrounded if they aren't careful. Although trogs are known to be extremely photosensitive, in-game trogs will actively pursue the player through light and dark alike. However, they will only spawn in darkened areas, such as the steelyard, Power Plant, and abandoned apartments; not in lit places such as Uptown, even though they are one door away from its streets.

Trogs are no more durable than standard humans; a basic trog is on par with a basic feral ghoul, and even the powerful trog brutes and savages are still only on par with standard raiders in terms of health. However, they are much faster than normal humans, have fairly powerful melee attacks, and rarely hunt alone. Additionally, trogs are usually fought while the player is poorly equipped, as the player's equipment is taken away upon entering The Pitt, and good weapons and armor can be hard to come by in The Pitt until the player finishes the Arena and enters Uptown.

Varianten

Trogg

Regular trogs are the most common type of trog on normal difficulty. These are larger than trog fledglings, but are still vulnerable to headshots from high-powered weapons.

Trogg-Scheusal

Trog brutes are the most common trogs on very hard difficulty. They are only slightly larger than regular trogs, but have almost double the health. They have a more powerful attack than their standard variants.

Trogg-Nachwuchs

These trogs are the smallest and weakest of the trog family, however they are still quite fast and may overwhelm an unaware player. Headshots from decent weapons are usually fatal. In fact, they are one of the weakest creatures in the game (on par with bloatflies or radroaches in terms of health and attack damage). Players level 7 and below will primarily encounter this type of trog. They are easily dispatched with weak weapons.

Trogg-Wilder

These trogs are the strongest and most powerful trogs in The Pitt. They are encountered rarely, but are essentially trog brutes with slightly more health. Although only slightly tougher than trog brutes, trog savages have powerful melee attacks similar in damage potential to those of a giant radscorpion or mirelurk hunter. They appear to have a reddish skin color.

Sonstiges

• It seems most trogs carry exactly one item, despite wearing nothing to carry it in. Bobby pins are very common, as well as single doses of chems and various miscellaneous items.
• When talking to Midea in her house for the first time, you can ask either what a trog is or imply that it is a fish. The player can also ask if they are like a super mutant, which will result in Midea asking what a super mutant is.
• When facing a trog, they will sometimes mutter words like "hate", "kill", and "food", suggesting that trogs have some semblance of their former humanity left, but are unable to fight their animalistic hunger. Some can even be heard muttering "...peace" or "thank you" right before they die.
• They appear to use a similar model to the spore carrier and the tunneler from Fallout: New Vegas.

Vorkommen

Troggs kommen im Fallout 3 Add-On The Pitt vor.

Hinter den Kulissen

• Das lateinische Wort "troglodyta" bedeutet "Höhlenbewohner", und wurde manchmal dazu benutzt einen ungebildeten und unzivilisierten Menschen zu beschreiben.

Bugs

• Es scheint als würden Kopfschüsse nicht bei allen Trogg-Typen wirken, sie machen manchmal nur so viel Schaden wie ein Treffer an einer anderen Stelle des Körpers.
