No Mutants Allowed

I found it odd that Mole-rats looked like boars.

@erich van loon That's because you had the already existing assumption that Mole Rats would look like they did in later games. Really if you look at it from the angle of Fallout Mole Rats being the original, it seems weird that Bethesda turned them from bear-rat creatures to literal Mole Rats.

Really most of Beth's creature designs are just pre-existing creatures scaled up (possibly with severe mange). The mirelurk seems to be the only exception tbh...

Edit: also the bloatfly.

Fallout 4 Mirelurks are basically just scaled up crabs though.

But the fo3 mirelurk designs are one of my favorite designs in any fallout game.

Eh, I found them too anthropomorphic for my liking.

Well they're no more anthropomorphic than a deathclaw tbh.

True, but Deathclaws are supposed to be demon-looking creatures, so anthromorphic demons makes sense. Mirelurks are just crab people.
