Experience has shown that taking down a mirelurk queen requires a small army or very highly skilled individuals. This is not just because of their size and physical power, but also because of the multiple tricks they have in store for the unwary. Oozing spouts allow them to spit and spray plums of caustic acid over a large area, eating into armor and liquifying exposed flesh.
