Mirelurk hunter

A vicious Mirelurk with much greater speed and substantially higher damage resistance than standard Mirelurks. It differs in appearance from a standard Mirelurk in that it has a brownish coloration and some extra Vestigial limbs on its front and is also about 2 feet taller. It also has Spikes sticking out of the shoulders of its carapace. This beast should never be taken lightly as the damage this creature can inflict is comparable to an attack by a Yao Guai or a Deathclaw, although it is still less than anything those creatures could do. They begin to appear in greater numbers as the player levels up. If the player is at a high enough level, they may find Vault 92 and the Anchorage War Memorial filled with them.

Dealing with them is no different than a standard Mirelurk. Simply aim for the face from as far away as possible.

Note

 * The Mirelurk Hunter is one of three sources of Softshell Mirelurk Meat, the others being Mirelurk King and rarely in Mirelurk Egg Clutches.
