Mirelurk King (Fallout 3)

Mirelurk Kings are mutated creatures living in the Capital Wasteland

Gameplay
Mirelurk Kings possess a ranged sonic attack that can cripple a targets head from afar. They lose ability to use this attack if their head is crippled. Attacks on their torso only deal 2/3rds of normal damage. Swamplurk Queens have higher HP and, instead of a sonic attack, possess a spit attack that also cannot be used if their head is crippled. The spit does more damage than the King's sonic attack. Mirelurk Kings have a basic melee attack that deals more damage than their ranged attack.

Variants

 * † Torso shots only do 2/3 of the normal damage.
 * ‡ Instantly cripples target's head. Cannot be used if their head is crippled.
