Every Pokémon enthusiast and anyone who has watched the animated series knows about Diglett, the ground-type Pokémon that stays buried underground, revealing only its head. Even after 20 years since Pokémon's inception, no one knows what lies beneath Diglett or what its full form looks like. All we see is its brown skin, a smooth head, and an innocent face. Even its evolved form features three heads popping out of the ground! So, what is it hiding? Does it have legs? Is it wearing pants? We may never know.

To this day, what’s inside the truck remains a mystery.

Players of Fallout know the game is set in a post-apocalyptic world after a nuclear war, but the true mastermind behind the war and the reason for the nuclear devastation remain unknown.
