Radscorpion (Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel)

Radscorpions are creatures located in Texas in 2208.

Background
Radscorpions are mutated from the North American Emperor scorpion, which were common in many pet stores at the time of the Great War. Contrary to many expectations, their venom grew more potent when they mutated rather than becoming diluted. Though considered nocturnal and sensitive to light, radscorpions can be found active during the daytime in the areas they inhabit.

Biology
A radscorpion is the first creature encountered by the player in the Carbon warehouse. The normal radscorpion and the glowing variant are not very dangerous, but the spitting radscorpion may deal great damage, especially if they attack as a horde. Larger, giant radscorpions appeared at first like a boss in the Carbon warehouse, and a semi-boss after in the Carbon crater.

Gameplay attributes
Radscorpions will usually attack from the front first and then try to flank the player. They are fast and difficult to escape, especially in a horde. It is easier to fight in cleared areas, they will have the advantage in steep areas.
