Theories, Legends and Lore: Fallout- Mirelurks and Lakelurks
A look into their anatomy, their behavior, what they evolved from, how they coexist and why mirelurks are not present in Fallout New Vegas but Lakelurks are.
Mirelurks:
Mirelurks descended from Chesapeake Bay horseshoe crabs. The full scientific classification of the mirelurks is kingdom: Animalia, phylum: Arthropoda, subphylum: Crustacean/Chelicerata, class: Merostomata/Malacostraca, while order, family, and genus are left undetermined due to their mutation. The subphylum and class are disputed in an Enclave officer's field research terminal, as he believes horseshoe crabs and blue crabs both evolved into mirelurks, due to their DNA/RNA samples having markers from two different subphyla and classes. (The Lone Wanderer may determine the missing classifications (both on the research terminal and in a Science dialogue check after completing the mirelurk research task for the Wasteland Survival Guide) as follows: Scylla serrata horrendus.)
Mirelurks primarily seek an aquatic habitat, particularly in and along the Potomac River (even its dried-up northern section). When not swimming, they can be found in damp and cool areas like caves, metro tunnels, and derelict facilities like the Anchorage Memorial. Despite the common condition of darkness in these areas, mirelurks are not averse to light; they are often seen during the day, particularly around the Potomac and the Anchorage War Memorial.
Mirelurk Kings:
Mirelurk kings do not particularly resemble their crab-like "subjects", being more humanoid in appearance, unable to float in water, and with heads not unlike those of snapping turtles; the only commonality is arms ending in pincers. They may be a separate species, living in some sort of symbiosis with the thick-shelled mirelurks.
Lakelurk:
Lakelurks are mutated snapping turtles which live around aquatic areas like Lake Mead. They attack by using shrieking sonic pulse waves to stun and then rip apart enemies with their claws. They are fiercely territorial and extremely aggressive, attacking almost anything that comes near them or their nests. They are usually found in small groups of two to three or in larger groups comprised of around five to eight. They have a high Perception, which makes them very quick to find potential prey within their immediate area.
I hope you enjoy the episode :)
