Mole rats are creatures found in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Background

This section is transcluded from Mole rat. To change it, please edit the transcluded page.

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.

Characteristics

Biology

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 attributes

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.

Variants

Mole rat

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 rat

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.

Greater mole rat

Greater mole rats are even larger creatures than regular mole rats, and can be potentially devastating to encounter for low-level player characters.

Mutated mole rat

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.
