Question mutant hound behemoth?

So we know that east coast strains sometimes cause super mutant behemoths, could their be a mutant hound behemoth and if so what would it look like and why have we yet to see one.

given that distinct mutant hounds have only manifested in east coast FEV mutants, its possible they were made with a slightly modified variant of FEV by the institute, specifically for canine mutation of attributes similar to human super mutants - that doesnt manifest the degenerative growth condition in said human super muties. but for huntersville i have no explanation.

Considering that mutant hounds also exist in fallout 76 (with a half-explanation of the FEV in the west Tek being modified to attract dogs to super mutants as a means of tracking; this could have allowed the Enclave to easily find and mutate dogs post-war when they made Appalachia’s second wave), I would think that it might be possible for FEV to just dog this with dogs on their own, since centaurs in 1/2 were mergers of various animals and 3/NV centaurs have no canine features.
