Originating from a cross-breed between a Komodo Dragon and a super mutant, these behemoths can be found roaming the lands, searching for their next victim. But what about when they’re friendly?

Friendly Deathclaws in Fallout 4
There is an interesting way to encounter and even befriend Deathclaws in Fallout 4. In the quest "The Devil’s Due", you can find the egg of a Deathclaw and return it to its nest. As per the game’s script, the Deathclaw guardian will become friendly towards your character and even allow it to follow you.
In order to make the creature friendly, you must successfully complete the quest without destroying the egg or killing any Deathclaws in its vicinity. The creature has a high chance of spotting you, and it would attack you immediately if detected. Therefore, you have to be careful when performing this task.
Leveling Up Your Wasteland Whisperer Perk
To tame Deathclaws, you’ll also need to reach a sufficient level in your Wasteland Whisperer perk. With a character level of at least 49, you’ll achieve this goal and be authorized to command your newly converted Deathclaw companions. These companions are useful while exploring the open world due to their superior strength in combat.
