Yao Guai in Fallout 76

Fallout 76 Yao Guai locations

If not friend, then why friend-shaped?

Fallout 76’s Yao Guais are the post-nuclear counterparts of the iconic West Virginian bears. They are a source of valuable ingredients like Yao Guai meat and Yao Guai hide, and you can also tame them and send them back to your Camp to improve its defense.

You can find these mutated creatures all around Fallout 76, although there are a few hotspots you should know about if you’re on the hunt for them.
