Mirelurk

Mirelurks are creatures appearing in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. They are giant, radiation-mutated crustaceans.

General characteristics
In Fallout 3, mirelurks are found in three variants: Mirelurks, mutated forms of Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs (Callinectes sapidus), Mirelurk Hunters, mutated Atlantic Horseshoe Crabs (Limulus polyphemus) and, in the form of Mirelurk Kings, snapping turtles. They can deal massive damage, and can absorb a great deal in return thanks to their shells. Generally, they can be found near sources of water, including the [Potomac River] in groups of two or more individuals of one of the above groupings.

In Fallout 4, mirelurks appear markedly more crab-like in appearance than those in Fallout 3, and their posture is generally crouched down to make their vulnerable faces harder to hit. Their shells also possess a mild reflective quality, as lasers are often seen ricocheting off them. The Mirelurk Queen displays a pronounced lobster tail.
