Hunters are an aggressive subset of the mirelurk species. While fewer in numbers they are more active away from nests foraging and hunting for enemies. They are able to spit acid in a similar way to their queen and have powerful claws capable of crushing the life out of any enemy dragging it back to be an unwilling fleshy ‘guest’ of a mirelurk feast.  Mirelurk Hunters are more agile and tougher than the standard colony members with armored heads and enhanced musculature. This makes them elite mirelurk fighters strong opponents and nightmarish foes for any force.
