Ok, here is a possible lore friendly way to inject them in. While the Madre and the construction company were used as lab rats and testing ground respectively I feel that the Scientists of Big Mountain, being men and women of ~SCIENCE!~, would run more than one instance of the experiment at a time. You know, multiple data sets, a control group and all that. Can't have unconfirmed information, that's unscientific! So there would be a new location, maybe an unfinished railway tunnel that was in mid construction, that was also being used as a test. When the bombs dropped, it collapses the main entryway in and trapped the workers inside, protecting the commonwealth and capital wasteland from the menace that would eventually be called the Ghost People. But there could be something down there that you need to get and you need to breach into the tunnel and when you breach it, you actually do it violently and irreparably. You clear the location, kill all the Ghost People and get the objective but this place... it's littered with (unreachable) cat walks, blockaded access tunnels, broken/empty elevator shafts and big busted pipe work... going deep into the earth of the commonwealth... and its filled to the brim with unknowable amounts of Ghost People. From then on the Ghost People are free to escape the underground and run amok in roving packs across the commonwealth. Well, whatcha think?

... The Wanamingos... It's been so long since I've played 2, but that fits. They got a queen, she lays eggs... it would make sense... kinda. Jowana-morphs would be cool... except the chosen one pretty much purged them off the face of the earth. Maybe an enclave or institute experiment to recreate them gone wrong and they escaped containment? Could make the acid a spontaneous mutation, while they were fiddling around with the genes, that ate through their test chambers allowing them to escape. Would give a reason for the acidity at least.

I was finally getting around to saving Preston and company after screwing around on this new run of mine when I got to the Deathclaw battle. I was running "Better Stronger Faster Deathclaws" and "Better Power Armor" so I could really enjoy the battle when it grabbed me and roared in my face. I've seen this animation over a hundred of times by now but I had just recently played an Alien Game and the idea clicked in my head. Why not a Xenomorph replacer? With some kinda on-hit trigger to deal damage, to emulate acid splashes, during melee. And if one could manage it, have it hang off the walls like a radroach in certain areas before gunning for you like you're fresh supper. I thought, "THAT WOULD BE SICK!" before thinking "AND F#@KED UP AND TERRIFYING!!!" and then "Why hasn't anyone done this yet?" And kinda figured it would be hard or something. But I wanted to find out why or why not and stuff. So now that you've heard me out, thoughts?
