Rad-rat (Nuka-World)

Rad-rats are creatures found in the Nuka-World Amusement Park in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World.

Background
Once regular pesty rats before the war, the North American rat population was tainted by the radioactive fallout from the onslaught of atomic warfare. Rad-rats are much bigger than their pre-War cousins. They have large teeth and pearl-like eyes. Their bite and their scratch inflict radiation damage.

Characteristics
Rad-rats, much like their pre-War counterparts, are small rodents, although slightly larger than their counterpart due to their extended contact with radiation. Their fur, like mongrels', has fallen off due to radiation and has left them with wrinkled, tight skin. They also emit the same noises as mole rats. They are however much more tougher than normal mole rats, having more hitpoints and dealing more damage.

Gameplay attributes
Rad-rats are aggressive; when attacked they'll fight back, using their claws and mouths to attack their enemy. They will also use a lunge attack at a distance.

Rad-rat pup
A pup that is weaker than the average rad rat, but are dangerous in hordes. They can pose a real threat to inexperienced players.

Mangy rad-rat pup
A more stronger variant of the rad rat pup but still weak.

Rad-rat
The normal rad rat. They can be a real challenge, even for experienced players with a high level.

Infected rad-rat pup
A rad rat pup that has open wounds all over its body, possibly due to a disease. They are the strongest of rad rat pups.

Infected rad-rat
A rad rat with exposed wounds all over its body which can hint that they have survived for a much longer time.

Plagued rad-rat
The strongest of rad rats, they also deal weak radiation damage when you're close to them. Players should be careful when dealing with them, especially because this rad rat has far more hitpoints than a broodmother and can shred power armor with ease. They also glow at night.

Appearances
Rad-rats appear in the Fallout 4 add-on Nuka-World and Fallout 76.
