Mole rat (Fallout)

	For an overview of mole rats in the Fallout series of games, see mole rat.

 

Mole rats are creatures found in Fallout and Fallout 2.

BackgroundEdit

Mole rats have sharp claws and even sharper tusks that they use to tear great chunks of flesh from their prey. Mole rats are either huge rats or the result of gene-splicing Kodiak bears with maladjusted lab rats. Fortunately, they seldom run in packs larger than a half dozen or so.^[1]

CharacteristicsEdit

BiologyEdit

Mole rats are very large, hairy rodents with a mean streak. They are marginally larger than a large dog, and are rather durable creatures.

Gameplay attributesEdit

Mole rats can often be found in large packs together with pig rats and giant rats, particularly in underground locations such as caverns or derelict vaults. They are very aggressive, and will attack if approached.

VariantsEdit

Mole ratEdit

Mole rats are large creatures, and take a lot of damage before going down. As individuals they pose a threat to those lacking experience, but in larger packs of mole rats and rats they can prove to be a potential danger to even prepared travelers.

Lesser mole ratEdit

These are the smaller and weaker versions of the common mole rat, with reduced health and attack power. As a result of this, they grant significantly less experience than a common mole rat when defeated.

Mutated mole ratEdit

Mutated mole rats are the most dangerous type of mole rats in the post-apocalyptic world, their great reflexes, speed, and poisonous attacks make them formidable pests in the radiated parts northwest of Gecko and in the mountains north of the Sierra Army Depot.
