Lakelurk

Lakelurks are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland. They are mutant snapping turtles who live around Lake Mead and survive off of the pure water there. They are fiercely territorial and aggressive, attacking anyone or anything that comes near.

Characteristics
Lakelurks are essentially palette swaps of the Mirelurk kings of Fallout 3. Like Mirelurk kings, they attack by emitting long-distance sonic pulse waves to stun and destroy their enemies. Even the tip describing their attack is the identical to that of the mirelurk king.

Ironically, if they follow you into water, they will have no underwater attacks and only "glare" at you. But if their sonic attack is fired from land, will go straight through water like it does through the air, putting the player at a disadvantage not being able to attack back.

The unique Lakelurk king is found in the Camp Guardian Caves along with dozens of other Lakelurks.

Behind the Scenes

 * The Lakelurk appears to be modeled on the monster from the 1954 film Creature From the Black Lagoon, although apart from looks, they share no other similarities.


 * An Alpha Male Lakelurk exists in the game files. It is a third tier of Lakelurk, and is visually identical to the Lakelurk king.
