Radscorpion (Fallout 76)

Radscorpions are insects found in Appalachia.

Background
Radscorpions are large, mutated scorpions commonly found in the wasteland, often burrowing underground.

Biology
Radscorpions sport highly venomous stingers, the ability to burrow underground in seconds, powerful claws, and durable exoskeletons.

Gameplay attributes
Radscorpions are fast runners, extremely aggressive, extraordinarily well armored and will use their powerful claws and poisoned tails to attack enemies quickly and relentlessly; capable of dealing a large amount of physical and poison damage in only a few hits. With their ability to burrow underground and traverse large distances seemingly instantaneously, retreating from an encounter is often impossible. Their only weak spot is their relatively small face.

Due to their claw and poisonous sting attacks as well as their great maneuverability, radscorpions are powerful melee fighters. If attacked from afar, they will immediately burrow and emerge close to the player character, often in melee range, provided the ground type can be navigated through by them.

Radscorpion
The base variant of the radscorpion, with all of the attributes above.

Glowing radscorpion
A radscorpion that has become inundated with radiation, to the point of luminescence.

Albino radscorpion
A radscorpion suffering from albinism, with improved stats compared to the base variant.

Scorched radscorpion
A charred, fleshy radscorpion infected with the Scorched Plague. All regular radscorpion variants have a corresponding Scorched variant with the same stats, abilities, and items. They may become Scorched when attacked by scorchbeasts or the scorchbeast queen, becoming allies with other Scorched creatures.

Prime radscorpion
A prime variant, encountered during the Primal Cuts event.
