Fallout 76 - The Interloper

Deep within the bowels of the Lucky Hole mine where the guttural growls of Mole Miners echo within the damp stone chambers that once were filled with the sounds of mining machinery and pickaxes, lies an enormous creature of unknown origin and unforeseen wickedness worshiped by those who sought salvation through the occult.    Known by the occultists of Appalachia who were also worshippers of the Mothman pre-war as the first born aka the Interloper, this deformed massive humanoid with a maw of writhing tentacles supposedly reached out to those touched by the occult drawing those into it to feast upon their blood to nourish itself.   

Hidden deep in the bowels of the mine in a chamber obscured in a narrow crevasse within the mines walls a hidden chamber located behind a waterfall looking out into the underground chapel altar where a familiar green metal face looks on from behind a crude totem.    Deeper still within this chamber burrowing down where mortals should not tread.   The ground and walls lined with the skeletal remains of occult worshippers and ancient creatures who walked the earth when man was still young.    The grotesque visage of this creature is surrounded by primitive totems and looked over by four monolithic gleaming metal faces protruding from the walls like ancient gods of some long forgotten religion.  

The body seems still until you approach and the writhing tendrals move about seeking sustenance of blood offerings.  Is this ancient horror responsible for the cryptids of Appalachia such as the Snallygaster, Beast of Grafton, the Mothman, and Wendigos?    Who can say for sure but much as the swampy marshes of Point Lookout where the Krivbeknih was kept, deep in the subterranean depths of the labyrinthian halls of the Dunwich Building in the Capitol Wasteland where the obelisk of Ug-Qualtoth, and deeper still within the Dunwich Borer site in the Boston Commonwealth where a familiar iron face lurks in the watery depths where the ritualistic blade Kremvh's tooth lays in wait; Mysterious otherworldly happenings are all too common in the radioactive wastes of post-war America.    The Interloper, Ug-Qualtoth, Kremvh, are these ancient tenebrous beasts related to one another and seeking to return the planet to a time long forgotten when Lovecraftian horrors ruled, or something even more sinister?     Some day we may find out, and we may not like the answer.
