Pig rat

Pig rats, found on the West Coast, can best be described as being in between the small giant rat and the mole rat.

Biology
Pig rats are large, hairless, burrowing rats. It is unknown whether they are a rat-pig hybrid or an entirely new creature. Pig rats combine the feral cunning of a rat with the voracious appetite of a pig.

Gameplay attributes
Pig rats are fast, but weak, and the creatures cannot really be considered to pose a real threat. They tend to almost always live in groups, though, and almost always attack their enemies in pack together with their cousins, the mole rats and ordinary rats, and might become dangerous in combination with their numerous allies.

Pig rat
Pig rats are relatively small rodents and, as the name suggests, seemingly a mixture of a pig and a rat. They are weak on their own, but the combination of their speed and their great numbers may spell doom for the unwary.

Mean pig rat
Mean pig rats look identical to regular pig rats, but have higher stats and award more experience when killed.

Mutated pig rat
Much like normal pig rats, the mutated pig rat hunts in packs, and will try to outnumber its foe and bring it down in through a flurry of irradiated and poisoned attacks. They also seem to be irradiated; at least enough to transfer considerable doses of radiation, as well as poison, to any foe they manage harm.

Appearances
Pig rats appear only in Fallout and Fallout 2.


 * Albino pig rats were to appear in Van Buren.
