Lug-Nut

 is a Raider who appears and confronts the player as soon as they loot the Naughty Nightwear as part of the unmarked quest Grady's Package. He wears a random raider armor and carries a random weapon (hunting rifle, sawed-off shotgun, or  assault rifle)

Upon your taking the Naughty Nightwear, Lug-Nut will demand that you give it to him. If you refuse to give it to him, he will become hostile and attack you, or you can just intimidate him with a high enough speech skill. He can be enslaved with a Mesmetron. However, if you just kill him on sight, you do not get negative karma even though he is marked as friendly.

With speech skill you can also convince him that the Naughty Nightwear actually belongs to you, he will believe you, say it's his mistake and leave withtout making any difficulty.

If you successfully scare him off with Speech, he'll hang around the Marigold Metro Station tunnels, and may be attacked and eaten by the resident Giant Fire Ants. If he spawns with an assault rifle, he does a fairly decent job of killing any ants that respawn near wherever he's wandering. However, if he appears with a hunting rifle or sawed-off shotgun, he'll promptly be turned into ant food if he ever runs into any of them.

Lug-nut is also mentioned by Sierra Petrovita when asked more about Ronald Laren. She will start talking about how tough Ronald Laren is and will mention Lug-nut and two other raiders. The two unknown raiders were killed by Ronald Laren, who then punched Lug-nut in the face. Lug-Nut probably only survived because Ronald was using his signature weapon, The Kneecapper, which only has a two-shot capacity before reloading. Lug-Nut most likely made a run for it as Ronald was reloading.

Family
In the DLC pack Broken Steel it is revealed that Lug-Nut has a brother, Lag-Bolt. While Lug-Nut is a Raider, Lag-Bolt seems to be employed by Talon Company (due to his armor), but this is not to be relied on, as he may have scavenged it somewhere.

Nightwear: Origin and conflicts
In a note to Lag-Bolt, Lug-Nut explains more about the origin of both the Naughty Nightwear and the All-Nighter Nightwear. It appears that Lug-Nut had the two pairs made in Virginia by a man only known as "The Tailor". It is obvious that they were made to be put to use under sexual circumstances, due to the character of the letter.

However, this poses several questions about Ronald Larens relationship to Lug-Nut: It is obvious that he wanted to use the underwear to be able to "do the vertical bop" with Sierra Petrovita, but how did he know Lug-Nut was in possession of sexy underwear? How did Grady get in to the picture, and how did he lure the underwear from Lug-Nut? And lastly; Why would they get into so much fuss for a pair of leopard-colored pajamas?
