Radroach (Fallout 3)

Radroaches are creatures found in the Capital Wasteland in 2277.

Background
Great American cockroaches, colloquially called radroaches or simply giant cockroaches, are giant versions of the pre-war species that have increased in size presumably due to atomic fallout caused by the Great War.

Biology
Radroaches are about the size of cats with a shiny brown carapace. Unlike their modern-day cousins, they don't mind the sunlight and will often be encountered in well lit areas, such as out in the open near the tepid sewer.

Gameplay attributes
Radroaches are low-level enemies, hostile to the player character.

Statistics
Radroaches all share the same vital statistics, but can differ in aggressiveness and confidence.

Appearances
Radroaches appear in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * Radroaches were apparently put in the game in response to the theory that present-day cockroaches would be able to survive a nuclear disaster.

Bugs

 * If you use a power fist and use V.A.T.S. on a radroach you perform a stomp but you still lose CND for the Unarmed weapon.
