Mole Rat (Fallout 3)

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

Background
Mole rats are mutated rodents that were much smaller in the pre-War world. They survived as a species by burrowing underground where the dirt protected them from the direct nuclear explosions. However, they still were massively mutated by the remaining fallout and radiation, increasing their size as well as their viciousness.

Biology
Mole rats are usually found in packs of roughly 3 or 4, but rarely in 2 or by them self.

Gameplay attributes
Mole rats are very aggressive, but will retreat if severely outmatched. They fight for their food with their big teeth that tear into their enemies.

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 enemies, which means that there is usually more than one in a small area.

Appearances
Mole rats appear in Fallout 3.
