Mole miner

Mole miners are creatures found in Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Trapped within their deteriorating mining suits, the mole miners are the once human workers of Appalachia's various mining operations. Mutated by radiation, the Scorched Plague, or both, mole miners are frenzied combatants who will attack anything they perceive as a threat.

Biology
Clearly once human, the mole miners have degenerated into hunched, stout limbed forms. No longer capable of speech, they instead produce guttural moans and calls as a form of communication. They clearly posses great strength, being able to wield a missile launcher or combat shotgun with a single hand and high accuracy.

Gameplay attributes
Mole miners often operate in groups headed by a foreman. They are immediately hostile to any who approach, although they are seemingly friendly with mole rats. They will often mob a target, with shotgunners and melee attackers charging in as a heavily armed foreman provides fire support from a distance. They can quickly kill a weaker player character.
