Radroach (Fallout 4)

Radroaches are creatures descended from cockroaches that live in the Commonwealth in 2287. . They are the first encountered, and least harmful, enemies in the game.

Biology
The radroach has evolved, for now it can use wings to leap off and attack its enemies. However, the radroach is still weak to most physical attacks. They also have a limited ability to climb walls.

Gameplay attributes
Unlike in the previous games, the player suffers from slight radiation damage when hit by a radroach.

Radroaches can sometimes be found infesting seemingly empty rooms, hiding in and behind desks or other furniture as well as on walls or ceilings. They will emerge and attack when the player enters close proximity. Sometimes glowing radroaches are stuck under the flooring and you can usually tell this by the green glow on the floor seemingly from nothing. Feel free to melee the ground and you will find your surprise radroach.

Legendary radroach
The legendary radroach is a variant of the normal radroach. Legendary radroaches may come in different sizes, while some are only slightly bigger than the average radroach, some can be significantly bigger, nearly reaching the size of a radscorpion. However, the size of the legendary radroach doesn't seem to affect its health or toughness.

Glowing radroach
Similar to glowing ones, glowing radroaches have a distinctive glow, even after death, and inflict more radiation damage than their basic variant. They are often encountered among regular radroaches and are generally larger, but do generally not pose much more of a threat and can easily be disposed of.
