Albino radscorpion

The  is a new type of Radscorpion is added to Fallout 3 in the Broken Steel DLC pack.

Characteristics
It is far more resistant to attacks than the Giant Radscorpion, and deals far greater damage. They are the same size as Giant Radscorpions and still drop 4 Radscorpion Poison Glands, but are milky-white in appearance and have red eyes instead of green.

Albino Radscorpions are incredibly powerful, almost on par with the almighty Super Mutant Behemoth. An Albino Radscorpion has about 75% as much health as a Behemoth (in other words, 3 times as much health as a Deathclaw). Their attacks also do the same massive amount of raw damage as a hit from a Behemoth, and additionally they have very powerful poison. Albino Radscorpions have the unique ability to regenerate their health, which they do in daylight hours.

Albino Radscorpions can be found wandering the Wasteland, often near major roads, and will utterly slaughter any roaming NPCs they come across. On Very Hard they can kill the player in three hits and kill most NPCs in one.

Attacks
Though the Albino Radscorpion appears similar to the Giant Radscorpion, it in fact has much more health and seems to do significantly more damage. When encountered, they use similar tactics as a Giant Radscorpion--i.e., rush their unfortunate victim--and they have a similar weakness: they must be in melee range in order to do any damage.

Tactics
The best choice of attack, similar to fighting Giant Radscorpions, would be to use your surroundings to your advantage. Backpedaling through rocky terrain or trees while firing at the Scorpion is a good choice, the terrain will slow them down, allowing you to fire from a safe distance. If that is not an option, use of the Dart Gun or Railway Rifle to cripple limbs and slow them down (if only marginally) is recommended.

Also, a Fat Man would be an advisable weapon for disposing of this beast. If you can hit the Radscorpion in the face with a Mini-Nuke, it will make the battle far easier and less suicidal.

Entomologist, a mostly useless perk up until now, is incredibly useful in taking down the white menaces. The 50% damage increase helps out a lot.
