Anglers are creatures found in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor.
Background[]
Anglers are huge, mutated angler fish that have grown limbs.[1] Lurking around ponds and other shallow water, anglers use their bioluminescence to attract prey; their glowing cranial appendage looks exactly like a lure weed. Any animal the gets too close, enthralled by this glowing light, is attacked by the angler.[2]
These creatures also have the unique ability to take in the radioactive fog of Mount Desert Island, and use it to unleash a fireball at their enemies.
Characteristics[]
Anglers aren't particularly tough opponents but, like all enemies, they can quickly become a challenge if they outnumber the player. In order to discern whether what's in the water is an angler or just a mere lure weed, one must look closely at the surface; it is possible to see the mass of angler lurking just beneath the water.
Variants[]
Appearances[]
Anglers appear in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor and in Fallout 76
