Mole rat (Fallout: New Vegas)

Mole rats are creatures found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
Except for their large size, mole rats have remained largely unaltered by radiation.

Biology
Mole rats are warm and caring parents, willing to sacrifice their own life for the good of the pups. Mole rat families travel in groups of usually three to seven, consisting of two to three "parents" and one to four pups. These families are moderately docile, keeping to themselves unless approached by an enemy. Even though they are almost blind, they can smell and hear quite well.

Gameplay attributes
Mole rats are usually found in small packs, usually away from the main populated areas, although relatively weak, they can be a threat for lower level players when encountered in large packs. Mole rats will attack on sight and usually charge at the player.

Mole rat pup
Mole rat pups are mole rats that have yet to mature. Being younger, pups are smaller as well as weaker than adult mole rats. They are usually found around other mole rats, presumably their parents, wandering around the Wasteland.

Mole rat corpse
Various mole rats corpses are scattered around the Mojave Wasteland. One of the more prominent locations is Cannibal Johnson's cave. They will usually have nothing in their inventory, despite being a dead mole rat.

Appearances
