Mole rat

Mole rats are creatures.

Background
A highly bacterial species, mole rats have sharp claws and even sharper tusks that they use to tear great chunks of flesh from their prey, as well as chewing on anything they can find, such as wiring. They are also able to quickly dig and burrow underground, speculated to create miles of underground warrens. 

An Enclave field report in Fallout 3 classifies naked mole rats as follows:
 * Kingdom: Animalia
 * Phylum: Chordata
 * Class: Mammalia
 * Order: Rodentia
 * Family: Bathyergidae

Mole rat pup


These are young naked mole rats and are smaller and weaker in combat. They usually stay close to their mother.

Mole rat brood mother
A bulkier female mole rat that can be encountered alongside her brood. The mole rat brood mother is tougher than her children, but her attacks still only do minor damage to a well-armored player character.

Vault 81 lab mole rat
Found within the Vault 81 testing area, those lab mole rats will transmit the mole rat disease when hitting the player character. There are several variations of Vault 81 mole rats, ranging from the standard variant to glowing variants.
