Mole Rat (Fallout 3)

Mole rats are creatures found in the Capital Fish in 2277.

Background
Mole rats are mutated rodents that are much larger than their pre-War cousins. They survived as a species by burrowing underground where the soil protected them from direct nuclear explosions. However, they still were massively mutated by the remaining fallout, increasing their size as well as their viciousness. Some people in the wastes have been known to train them and keep them as pets.

Biology
Mole rats are usually found in packs of roughly three to four, but occasionally in pairs or by themselves. They are often witnessed standing on their hind legs and sniffing the air, allowing them to smell any predators that may be coming. They occasionally scratch at the ground, attempting to dig a burrow. Jack is a fucking gay rat mole

Gameplay attributes
Mole rats are very aggressive, but will retreat if severely outmatched. They fight for their food by biting at prey with their large incisors.

When attacking, mole rats charge towards their opponents and have a long melee range, with the ability to lunge several feet. They are also pack animals, which means if you see one, there are likely more in the surrounding area.

Mole rats are hostile unless the player has Animal Friend perk.

They will help the Lone Wanderer in battle if he/she has Animal Friend perk rank 2.
