Feral ghoul (Fallout 4)

Feral ghouls are creatures found in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Background
Feral ghouls are humans who survived the initial bombing during the Great War. Becoming permanently irradiated, they were horribly disfigured and their lifespans were increased virtually indefinitely. Eventually the constant exposure to radiation in the post-War Commonwealth wastes degenerated their brains, causing them to lose their cognitive functions and turning them into mindless radiation-resistant cannibals.

Gameplay attributes
It is now possible to dismember ghouls, however they will continue to chase the Sole Survivor even if they lose both of their arms. When losing a leg, however, they will become docile and will no longer try to attack, allowing the player to quickly dispatch them and handle any uninjured ghouls. A notable difference between the Massachusetts feral ghouls and feral ghouls seen throughout New California, the Mojave Wasteland, and the Capital Wasteland, is that they have glowing yellow eyes. Sometimes feral ghouls will lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. Once the player character gets close enough, they get up and attack them. These ghouls can sometimes be targeted in V.A.T.S before they rise. Occasionally, they will start to run faster at the player and eventually lunge at them once they're close enough, this attack can sometimes be difficult to dodge without sprinting, it can however be blocked. Additionally, when feral ghouls lunge at the player, they often fall down beside or behind their target, giving the player a brief chance to strike while the ghoul is getting back to its feet.They vary rarely, if ever, are alone, or travel alone.
