Here is a description of a freaky marine creature for you for the day: 

About three feet long and glistening black with a pink, fleshy appendage, it looks like the entrails of an alien from a bad horror film. In fact, it is a giant shipworm.

Discovered in the mud of a shallow lagoon in the Philippines, a living creature of the species has never been described before – even though its existence has been known for more than 200 years thanks to fossils of the baseball bat-sized tubes that encompass the creature.

As is usually the case, though, this creature is not harmful to us – heck, we hardly know anything about it!  Be sure to read the original article for all the strange features of the giant shipworm.

Fallout 4 EnemiesGlowing One



 

A highly irradiated version of a Feral Ghoul, they glow with green light emitting from within, and just being near them causes radiation damage. They can perform an area of effect radiation attack indicated by the raising of their arms which releases radiation around them. This radiation also heals nearby Feral Ghouls, and Glowing Ones can even sometimes revive recently killed allies. (x)
