Once regular pesty rats before the war, the North American rat population was tainted by the radioactive fallout from the onslaught of atomic warfare. Rad-rats are much bigger than their pre-War cousins. They have large teeth and pearl-like eyes. Their bite and their scratch inflict radiation damage.
Characteristics
Rad-rats, much like their pre-War counterparts, are small rodents, although slightly larger than their counterpart due to their extended contact with radiation. Their fur, like that of mongrels, has fallen off due to radiation and has left them with wrinkled, tight skin. They also emit the same noises as mole rats. They are however much tougher than normal mole rats, having more hitpoints and dealing more damage.
Gameplay attributes
Rad-rats are aggressive; when attacked they will fight back, using their claws and mouths to attack their enemy. They will also use a lunge attack at a distance.
Legendary rad rats of all variants explode seconds after death, dealing radiation damage to the player character.
