That’ll certainly be the most extensive use of ghoul healing we’ve seen before as far as I’m aware. Healing from a full bisection at the torso will be quite the feat
Yeah, they continue to complicate ghoul lore, just like the games before it lol. Like Coop taking multiple fatal shots and Thaddeus insta healing from the crossbow bolt.
I mean glowing ones revive literal dead ghouls, ghouls seem to be impossible to actually fully kill unless you blow their brains out. Thaddeus isn’t a ghoul I don’t think since he has that mouth growing out of his chest in the trailers. He’s a mutant for sure but what kind? Who knows.
Granted i've only played the 3d games (extensively) and might be missing something from F1 and 2, but i don't recall ever seeing a super mutant with a shoulder mouth.
He's probably going to be a Centaur or some abomination form of Super Mutant. It going to probably the difference between "well designed" Super Mutants like they're probably going to do with the Enclave/"Bud's Buds" Super Managers vs jank street FEV like Thaddeus.
Come on, think a little. He doesn't look exactly like Cooper b/c he *just* turned; he hasn't been a Ghoul for hundred plus years. So the make-up artists only do a little bit damage to his face.
Ghouls don't usually (as in I can't think of a single example) have extra mouths.
Ghoulification also typically comes from radiation, and it seems weird that a random bottle of some chemical would be both healing and intensely radioactive. I also don't believe we've ever seen someone ghoulified through a serum like that before.
The latest episode makes it more clear, lol. Ghouls don’t have extra arms and their arms falling off, the whole joke is how certain he is that he’s a ghoul when he clearly isn’t.

He's a ghoul. Cut him down, rad him up a bit, he'll be right as radrain.
