Wasteland Bestiary

Behold the walking Geiger counter that doesn't just survive radiation—it guzzles the stuff like cheap whiskey. Its fur oozes a slick, iridescent goo that slurps up ionizing particles like a sponge, turning lethal waste into a spa treatment. You'll find these little alchemists tunneling through soil so hot it'd melt your bones, leaving behind warrens that glow with the soft, welcoming light of certain death.

They're not hostile, just terribly inconvenient. Their tunnels are decorated with fungal gardens cultivated from their own bacterial body butter—glowing mushrooms that attract radiation-drunk insects for an easy snack. And if you're foolish enough to poke around their digs, you might find their excreted radioactive nodules: nature's way of saying 'this souvenir will give you tumors.'
