“Who is Antler? WHO IS ANTLER? Antler, the human asks about you! What do I tell it? All right. All right... Yes, yes, of course. Who Antler is, not important to you. Antler wants that you deal with me.”— Davison

Antler is the name given to the brahmin skull that Davison's Nightkin worship. It is in the basement level of the REPCONN Test Site in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background

Antler is a brahmin skull that Davison, a former captain in the Master's Army, picked up while he and his troop of nightkin wandered the wasteland. Nightkin have developed a form of schizophrenia from prolonged Stealth Boy use and so, because of this, they believe that the skull gives them orders and guidance.

Davison relates that his troops were suffering mentally from being separated from the Master, and that since finding Antler to worship "everything's been going really well." Incidentally, Antler acts as a conduit for higher-tier planning that Davison would otherwise abandon in favor of brute force.

It's Antler's suggestion (in Davison's mind) that the Courier should help with the ghoul holed up in the room containing the Stealth Boy information, and it's Antler's confirmation of the Courier's discovery (that the Stealth Boy shipment was not at the REPCONN facility) that convinces Davison that the Courier is telling the truth. Antler is housed in the REPCONN test site basement, where he is guarded by Davison.

Notes

• If one picks up, moves, or attacks the brahmin skull referred to as Antler, Davison will say, "You touched Antler. Now you die!" and becomes hostile.
• If Antler is moved by means other than direct interaction, Davison will still become hostile.
• After convincing the nightkin to leave the REPCONN basement, Antler will disappear.
• Antler is not marked with a name and cannot be put in the player character's inventory.

Behind the Scenes

A Jawless Brahmin Skull exists in Fallout 76 that is named Antler in the game files. It is located near a tent up the river from The Bullengrube. A keyword attaches it to a message box pop up (GHL00Quest BrahminSkillPickupMessage), but it does not appear for humans or ghouls. The message is, "You feel suddenly nauseous, and a sharp pain in your mind, almost as if something is trying to reach out."
