In the Thorn, humans keep various wildlife in cages so they can let them fight against each other or have humans fight against the wild life in an arena.
Player can kill and hurt animals.

one of the companions you can recruit is a dog (rex) so if you come across enemy dogs, rex may engage and end up killing the dog(s) as well

One quest can be resolved by paying an older woman to give you her elderly dog’s brain. The brain is uploaded into another dog’s brain, however, allowing the two dogs to live on as one animal.

Depending on how one stretches the definition of "dragon", there are hostile mutated geckos that breathe fire, and are obvious references to Godzilla. They are not common, and can be run from, but they cannot be made friendly, unlike other varieties of gecko-mutant.

while nightstalkers are not entirely snakes, they are a mutation of a coyote and a rattlesnake, its face is exactly that of a snake, and its tail has a rattle at the end which makes the same noise of a rattlesnakes tail. the rest of its body is a coyotes

a man may come up to the player and initiate dialogue confessing that he has been following the player around for a while if a Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap is picked up by the player, he will then proceed to explain (if permitted) that these are very rare, and was surprised that the player showed no reaction to have found it

grand part of what the legion stands for is procreation to enforce its militia. to do this they continuously assault their women (all of which are slaves).
there is a character in the NCR who is a rape survivor. she has a quest which revolves around helping her to get help for her trauma.
and there is also a legion slave at the fort who, if your character is a woman, warns you that she overheard some of the legion officers talking about "trying you out", despite this, it does not happen

live crucifixion is constantly practiced by the legion (graphic) + slavery (graphic). + gomorrah's sex workers are heavily implied to be sex slaves. a gomorrah sex worker is revealed to have been tortured to death (extremely graphic) during the quest How Little We Know

Debatably. The base game features little breathing problems but the Dead Money DLC features a toxic cloud that will continuously poison the player character the more they breathe in. However, in practice, this is more of a corrosive material then one that causes breathing problems.

There is a game mechanic where limbs can be 'crippled' during combat. It is unclear if this means a bone has been broken or if there is just a severe wound of another kind. This status effect can be healed through the use of items or rest.

-During one of the endings, there is an option to throw a man off of a dam.
-Fall damage is also a component of the game, so if you happen to fall off of a cliff or high building you will likely take damage and possibly die.
-There is a character mentioned who was thrown off of a cliff.

A character is mentioned to be set on fire and thrown off of a cliff. This character did survive however, and can be interacted with in a DLC where he is wrapped in bandages due to the burns he sustained.

Centaurs are a horrific, tumorous mutations with misplaced limbs, massive prehensile tongues, and an awkward shuffling motion. They're mostly found in one or two easily avoided locations.
Other mutants such as necrotic ghouls, buffed up super mutants, two-headed cattle and various giant arthropods are also present, though not quite as disgusting.

it is mentioned by Col. Hsu that the fiends are known for kidnapping civilians. there are about 4 NPCs in Vault 3 who tell the PC that they have been kidnapped by fiends. on the Mayors terminal in nipton, the kidnapping of travelers is also mentioned. the legion is often kidnapping civilians, turning them into slaves

There are "Ghost people" in the Dead Money DLC, but they are mutants rather than actual ghosts. Night Kin are semi-invisible enemies that are mistaken for "demons" by some characters. The Ghost of She is a flaming bear spirit in the Honest Hearts DLC.

There are traps such as land mines, bear traps, and shotguns that can trigger suddenly. There are also mostly-invisible enemies that appear only as they attack the player. There are frequent jumpscares in Vault 22, the Dead Money DLC, and the tunnels in the Lonesome Road DLC.

It is implied in the quest How Little We Know that the PC listened to snuff tapes (murder and sex, usually used for masturbation) to gather evidence against someone. No audio is actually heard for this.

It's more implied than anything, but a man can be found after a Legion raid with his kneecaps smashed. You can offer him Med-X, and if you give him several doses, he expresses excitement that he has enough to overdose.

if a grenade or a similar explosive is thrown near the player the camera may shake for about a second. larger explosives like mini-nukes or exploding cars (these only explode if they are shot at) may make the camera shake with more force and for a bit longer
there is also an add on in which you must detonate warheads. this will make the camera shake violently

women are forbidden to serve in caesar's legion as anything but a slave (with an exception of the PC, if a woman. even then, misogynist remarks are made). its explicitly stated by many NPCs and even the legion itself that the legion considers women inferior

All adult characters can die, except for companions, who only die in hardcore mode. Arcade Gannon, Veronica Santangelo, and Christine Royce are confirmed gay companions, and Cass is confirmed bisexual. There are another five confirmed gay or bi minor characters. The player can take the "Confirmed Bachelor" or "Cherchez La Femme" perks to flirt with same-gendered NPC's. Quite a few characters, including every prostitute, will have sex with the player regardless of gender.

You can shoot the powder ganger guy first if you would like. I did it on my first playthrough not because of his race but because he was threatening the woman in the saloon saying he would burn the town to the ground.

No, though it's implied that the NCR frowns upon gay relationships, dubbed "friendships" by Major Knight if your male character has the Confirmed Bachelor perk.

NPCs can be killed in bloody ways. With a certain perk, NPCs will explode into a bloody mess of dismembered body parts and fleshy chunks which are visible.
You can dismember/cut limbs.

It is possible for the player to drown, although the time limit is fairly generous. The Rebreather negates this effect, and only two minor quests involve any underwater content, both of which can be done after obtaining the Rebreather.
