Thank you! I don't know how they got away with it either, but I can't really blame them for pretty much xeroxing the design. They always were cool/creepy critters.
Heh, they even skitter the same, sound effect and all. I know poor skekSil was definitely sunk deep in the 'mad' part of 'mad scientist' after the peeper beetle thing, but just how did he manage to misplace some of these in the wrong timeline? (Had to have gone that way, as Fallout seems to presume Mirelurks are "just more mutant things" while Dark Crystal specifies that Garthim were created in a lab by skekSil. I should not be tempted to file this as a plotbunny) He must have lost experimental ones capable of breeding, because the ones in Dark Crystal don't seem able to but the Mirelurks do... And Fallout definitely has some time-space holes in it since you can find Nirnroot from Elder Scrolls as an "experimental plant" in one game, sound effects and all.
And it looks like the Lurky-Garthim there is exactly the height of the Supermutant he stops next to. Fallout wiki says Strong and other Fallout 4 supermutants are a different strain from the rest of the games and are shorter "standing 7 feet (2.13 m) tall" (not counting Behemoths). Garthim only got made in the last ep of the series, so scale comparisons kind of limited to the film, but Jen fell in a pit of them and they are almost exactly twice his height. So that puts Jen (and probably the average Gelfling, presuming Jen is average) at 1.075 meters or 3 1/2 ft tall. Yay! And since Augra is in both movie and prequel series I can compare her height to Jen's and then to pretty much everyone else she interacts with... major breakthrough for my taxonomic and chara data info. Thank you! ^__^
