Mirelurk King (Fallout 4)

Mirelurk Kings are creatures found in the Commonwealth.

Gameplay
Mirelurk Kings have a ranged sonic projectile attack that is effective at crippling a target's head. They have less health than Glowing Mirelurks, Mirelurk Hunters or Mirelurk Queens, although they are much more agile and efficient at long range.

Mirelurk King
One can be found in a room alongside Power Armor, a few tunnels into the Dig. Another one can be located behind the Rook family house on the shore. Up to four can be found at Cutler Bend. A few may be encountered at Spectacle Island. Another can be found inside a crypt to the north of Electrical Hobbyist's Club underneath the skybridge after taking the lone Mirelurk egg.

Mirelurk Deep King
A stronger variant of the Mirelurk King with blue and yellow scales. It has more health and overall defense than the average king, but with identical attack patterns.

Glowing Mirelurk King
A variant of the mirelurk king glowing with the excesses of inordinate radiation absorption. It inflicts radiation damage when executing a melee attack.

Nukalurk King
A Mirelurk King imbued with concentrations of Nuka-Cola Quantum, causing it to glow blue. It has greater health than other Mirelurk Kings and stronger attacks as well. They can be found outside the World of Refreshment, near the Mirelurk Queen.

Behind the scenes

 * The Mirelurk King was modeled and textured by Jonah Lobe. He spoke about various details regarding its development:
 * The Mirelurk King evolved in "non-sapien ways", though appears human in shape.
 * He states there is no evolutionary link between standard Mirelurks and Mirelurk Kings.
 * When creating the Mirelurk King, he states that the story he had was the Mirelurks Kings evolved in a way "that allowed them to dominate and perhaps control their less intelligent Mirelurk peers."
 * The model was built with the anticipation that the Mirelurk King would walk upright much like its Fallout 3 counterpart. The animator chose a more "froggish route" instead.
 * Jonah Lobe provided pictures detailing the Mirelurk King's anatomy.
 * The head of the Mirelurk King was inspired by the extinct Dunkleosteus, the red gills were inspired by "ancient western kings", and the rest of the model was inspired by spiney fish.
