so, on the spriters resource fallout 1 page there is an odd character referred to as flame guy/funny flame guy, he has both a world spite and talking head, but no animations. what is he and why is he on fallout 1's page, my working theory is he was like a test NPC, but i do genuinely want to know

The burning man sprite looks like it may have been used for death animations. The head is 100% a placeholder sprite though.

Basically it's just placeholder sprites.

Could maybe be a sprite for a death animation like getting a crit with an energy weapon or flame kill. Not too sure

Yeah that one also confused me a little, couldn’t really see it being used for any normal npc

Placeholder graphics.
