−	'''Humans''' (sometimes called "[[smoothskin]]s" or "[[normal]]s" by ghouls and super mutants) are members of the ''homo sapiens'' species that have been more-or-less unaffected by radiation. In post-nuclear America, four major ethnic groups can be distinguished: African, Asian, Caucasian, and Hispanic.	+	'''Humans''' (sometimes called "[[smoothskin]]s" or "[[normal]]s" by Ghouls and Super mutants) are members of the ''homo sapiens'' species that have been more-or-less unaffected by radiation.

−	* [[Ghost people]]: humans mutated by constant exposure to [[The Cloud]] of the [[Sierra Madre]], filtered through their [[hazmat suit]]s. The resulting species enjoy heightened perception, agility, extreme longevity, fire immunity, virtual immortality and death with limb amputation caused by a universal mutation from which everything is connected to each other. However, the drastic physiological changes have resulted in impairment of human cognition (although its degree remains unknown).	+	* [[Ghost people|Ghost People]]: Humans mutated by constant exposure to [[The Cloud]] of the [[Sierra Madre]], filtered through their [[hazmat suit]]s.

−	* [[Ghoul]]: humans with a unique genetic makeup that have evolved by heavy radiation poisoning which erodes their skin and greatly extends their life. They are sterile and immune to the lethal effects of radiation but not to its degenerative effects.

They are sterile and immune to the lethal effects of radiation but not to its degenerative effects. Three other variations also exist:
−	** [[Feral ghoul]]: ghouls without the regenerative ability of the neurological system that affords their longevity into the higher reasoning functions of the brain itself, causing them to lose their ability to reason and become hostile towards all non-ghouls. Their body is also more skeletal than normal ghouls and their eyes are completely white.	+	** [[Feral ghoul|Feral Ghoul]]: Ghouls without the regenerative ability of the neurological system that affords their longevity into the higher reasoning functions of the brain itself, causing them to lose their ability to reason and become hostile towards all non-Ghouls. Their body is also more skeletal than normal Ghouls and their eyes are completely white.
−	** [[Glowing one]]: ghouls who have absorbed an unusually high amount of radiation into their bloodstream and muscle tissue. Without their neurological systems filtering these particles from the blood and tissue, they become a luminescent yellow-green ghoul, and living conduits of radiation. Some have lost their ability to reason, having the same skeletal body and eyes of feral ghoul, and can emit radiation, even for a time after their death. Some others have kept their mind and are physically similar to normal ghouls.	+	** [[Glowing one|Glowing One]]: Ghouls who have absorbed an unusually high amount of radiation into their bloodstream and muscle tissue. Without their neurological systems filtering these particles from the blood and tissue, they become a luminescent yellow-green Ghoul - a living conduits of radiation. Notably, Glowing Ones have the ability to emit "blasts" of radiation from their bodies, with the radiation being potent enough to severely poison surrounding non-Ghouls and even "resurrect" recently deceased Feral Ghouls by reactivating their regenerative abilities. Some have lost their ability to reason, having the same skeletal body and eyes of Feral Ghouls, and can emit radiation even for a time after their death. Some other Glowing Ones have kept their mind and are physically similar to normal Ghouls.
−	** [[Marked man]]: particular ghouls that were skinned alive by the violent storms of the [[Divide]] and uniquely mutated into ghouls by the intense radiation. The ghoulification kept them alive and in incredible pain from their wounds; such injuries and radiation would have even killed ordinary ghouls. They are only kept alive by the radiation of the Divide, which now heals their particular forms and are hostile towards all non-ghouls.	+	** [[Marked man|Marked Man]]: Particular Ghouls that were skinned alive by the violent storms of the [[Divide]] and uniquely mutated into Ghouls by the intense radiation. The ghoulification kept them alive and in incredible pain from their wounds, to the point where such injuries and radiation would have even killed ordinary Ghouls. They are only kept alive by a combination of the radiation of the Divide (which now heals their particular forms) and their violent hatred towards all non-Ghouls, with them attacking all outsiders foolish enough to enter the region.
−	* [[Super mutant]], humans subjected to forced evolution via [[FEV-II]] or the [[EEP]]. They are much taller, bulkier and more muscular than humans, have mostly green, gray, or yellowish skin, are immune to disease and radiation, and are gifted with superhuman strength and endurance. Although they are completely sterile, the rapid regeneration of their cells caused by FEV makes them virtually biologically immortal (but not immune to death from injury). Two variations exist:	+	* [[Super mutant|Super Mutant]]: Humans subjected to forced evolution via [[FEV-II]] or the [[EEP]].

Three known variations exist:
−	** [[Mariposa super mutant]], super mutants that originated from the [[Mariposa Military Base]] in California, evolved via FEV-II. They generally have green skin and blue pale for the [[nightkin]] caste, due to prolonged use of [[Stealth Boys]]. They are more intelligent, more civilized, and retain better diction than Vault 87 super mutants. Also, the more a human is affected by radiation, the more of a chance their transformation into a super mutant has to fail, therefore making them more likely to be brutal and less intelligent. Only a handful of them are more intelligent, stronger and overall superior to normal humans.	+	** [[Mariposa super mutant|Mariposa Super Mutant]]: Super Mutants that originated from the [[Mariposa Military Base]] in California, evolved via FEV-II. They generally have green skin - with the exception of a pale blue coloration for the [[Nightkin]] caste (due to prolonged use of [[Stealth Boys]]). They are more intelligent, more civilized, and retain better diction than both Vault 87 and Institute Super Mutants. Furthermore, the more a human is affected by radiation prior to FEV exposure, the more of a chance their transformation into a Super Mutant has to fail, therefore making them more likely to be brutal and less intelligent. Only a handful of them are more intelligent, stronger and overall superior to normal humans.
−	** [[Vault 87 super mutant]], super mutant that originated from [[Vault 87]] in the [[Capital Wasteland]], evolved via the EEP. They have yellowish skin and are more aggressive, less intelligent, and less well-spoken than Mariposa super mutants. Also, their facial expression is permanently set in a sneer. Unlike Mariposa super mutants, their mutation never stops and they continue to evolve and grow slowly over time through stages, eventually up to 9 meters tall. Only two of them, [[Fawkes]] and [[Uncle Leo]], are known to have kept their human sanity and intelligence.	+	** [[Vault 87 super mutant|Vault 87 Super Mutant]]: Super Mutants that originated from [[Vault 87]] in the [[Capital Wasteland]], evolved via the EEP.

−	* [[Spore carrier]], humans who have entered the terminal stage of an entomopathogenic fungus called Beauveria Mordicana developed to colonize the bodies of common pests. Once it has fully colonized a host body, the host technically dies, but the body continues to move by means of the fungal colonies within it. In this manner the fungus moves amongst more of its prey, occasionally spraying spores in a radius around the host body, infecting all who come near it. Its drawbacks include the time it takes to kill prey (10–20 days) and its limited effectiveness when dealing with unsocial pests.	+	** [[Institute super mutant|Institute Super Mutant]]: Super Mutants that originated from the [[The Institute|Institute]] in the [[Commonwealth]], evolved via their own samples of the FEV. They have greenish skin akin to their Mariposa brethren, and have a more "thuggish" facial design rather than a permanent sneer. They possess the imposing musculature, resilience, and aggression of the Vault 87 subtype, but have intelligence and strategic planning skills on par with the dumber examples of the Mariposa subtype. Just like the Vault 87 subtype, their mutation never stops, with the eldest of them eventually transforming into hulking and mindless [[Behemoth (Fallout 4)|Behemoths]]. Only one Institute Super Mutant has been known to keep their original human personality and sanity - [[Brian Virgil]]. However, two other Institute Super Mutants have shown the ability to develop human-level intelligence and sanity on their own - [[Strong]] and [[Erickson]].
−	* [[Trog]], humans who have entered the terminal stage of the [[Troglodyte Degeneration Contagion]]. The contagion devolves humans into primitive predators with gangly arms and hairless skin. These savage beasts overrun the [[steel yard]] in [[The Pitt]].	+	* [[Spore carrier|Spore Carrier]]: Humans who have entered the terminal stage of an entomopathogenic fungus called ''Beauveria Mordicana'' (which was developed to colonize the bodies of common pests).
