Rad-rat (Nuka-World)

Rad-rats are creatures found in the Nuka-World amusement park in 2287.

Background
Once regular pesty rats before the war, the North American rat population was tainted by the radioactive fallout from the onslaught of atomic warfare. Rad-rats are much bigger than their pre-War cousins. They have large teeth and pearl-like eyes. Their bite and their scratch inflict radiation damage.

Characteristics

Their fur, like that of mongrels, has fallen off due to radiation and has left them with wrinkled, tight skin. They also emit the same noises as mole rats. They are however much tougher than normal mole rats, having more hitpoints and dealing more damage.
