Mirelurks are large mutant creatures that inhabit areas around bodies of water.Their tough shell makes them a difficult mutant to encounter.
Mirelurks appear to have mutated from Horshoe crabs and are protected by a thick shell which proves very difficult to penetrate, even with high powered weaponry, however this is offset by their weak points, namely their face which when hit will deal massive damage, and even cause them to flinch at times. Be advised, when a mirelurk bends down so its shell shields itself you will not be able to deliver an effective amount of damage. Give it time and it will resume its normal stance.
It is important to note the difference between regular Mirelurks and Mirelurk Hunters. A mirelurk hunter is twice as vicious and twice as fast and will snap a player in half with its claws in a second.
