Radbugs are the result of bugs being mutated by radiation.

They have an orb-like main body with a small head and six limbs with a claw on the end of each. When attacking, they leap forward and claw or bite a targeted creature. Apparently they have a set of human-like teeth, two fish-like eyes and an appendage somewhat resembling a tail.

These critters are known to roam the wastes; many of them can be found in such radioactive places as Carbon Crater, Secret Vault Warehouse and the Corporate Vault.

Variations[]

Mini Radbug[]

This version exactly resembles the standard version of Radbug, but extremely small. Its damage is very low and requires a single shot to be killed. They often attack in groups of 5 to 10 to confuse the enemy due to their size and their speed.

Small Radbug[]

Similar to the Radbug but smaller. A little stronger than the Mini Radbug but slower.

Radbug[]

These are the most common variant of these critters. They are roughly the size of a dog and are stronger than both the mini and small versions.

Big Radbug[]

Bigger versions of the standard Radbug, being the same size as brahmin. These pests are found near their home in the Vault-Tec Warehouse, guarding the Corporate Vault and participating in battles between the super mutants and the Church of the Lost. They are fairly resistant and their attacks cause a lot of damage.

Mini Mutant Radbug[]

A Radbug mutated by the special version of FEV in the Corporate Vault. They have a sort of web and spikes generated around their limbs and body and, more importantly, are protected by a green exoskeletal shell. While of a similar size to the Mini Radbug the Mini Mutant does damage comparable to that of the standard Radbug and is hard to kill. Five of these critters will appear whenever a Big Mutant Radbug is killed, as if from the bigger bug's corpse.

Mutant Radbug[]

The same size as a Radbug, these mutated bugs have the same FEV-generated accoutrements and exoskeleton as the Mini Mutant Radbugs. They are very durable and do considerable damage, being able to kill even armored targets in 4 or 5 shots.

Big Mutant Radbug[]

The same size as the Big Radbug and again having the FEV-generated mutations, these bugs are extremely durable and able to inflict even more damage than the Mutant Radbug. Additionally, whenever a Big Mutant Radbug is killed, five Mini Mutant Radbugs will emerge from its body.

Appearances[]

All Radbugs appear only in Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
