Radscorpion (Fallout)

Radscorpions are mutated creatures in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background
Radscorpions are mutated from the North American Emperor scorpion, which were prolific 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. Samples of their venom can be used to make antivenom.

Characteristics
The radscorpion is a large, poisonous cretaure that not only deals high damage but it also may poison the player with its deadly venom. If you see one of these threating creatures alone or in a party; be ready for a good fight if you don't intend on running.

Appearances
The regular radscorpion appears in both Fallout and Fallout 2. The nasty radscorpion appears only in Fallout and the black radscorpion appears only in Fallout 2.
