Radscorpion

Radscorpions are an extremely large version of the North American Emperor scorpion, mutated by radiation. Contrary to some expectations, their poison grew more potent, not diluted. They are nocturnal and sensitive to light, however on the East Coast this is not the case, as giant and regular size radscorpions have been spotted in the daytime. Samples of poison from their tails can be used to make antidotes. Apart from their size, they look pretty much like normal scorpions, with shell color ranging from red to black.

Glowing radscorpions
Similar to normal radscorpions, glowing radscorpions are a bit more ferocious and much more radioactive. They're so radioactive that they glow (naturally). That means that just getting near these creatures will cause you some damage, and their claws will cause damage by radiation as well as their tail stinger.

Spitting radscorpions
Spitting Radscorpions are a step sideways on the evolutionary ladder from normal radscorpions. They have developed the ability to spit radioactive venom at distant targets. As a result, their claws are severely under-developed, used only for protecting the spitting radscorpion's head. Spitting Radscorpions are usually yellow in color with a bright red coloring on their back and legs.

Giant RadScorpions
Simply a much larger Radscorpion with 350 hp and a poisonous stinger that does 40 damage every 5 seconds. Contains 4 Radscorpion Poison Gland on death. Their weakspot seems to be their claws.

Appearances in Fallout games
Radscorpions can be encountered in all Fallout games.
