They are -- and who knows, maybe Bethesda made some sort of deal with the people behind Dark Crystal in the background or something. I have no idea.
Was he missing some lobsters too? Because there's actually a few different kinds of Mirelurks, based off of different sea creatures. Hunters are lobster-like, Kings are -- I guess kind of salamander-ish? And Queens. . .well, looking at the picture, they're basically "crab but FUCKING BIG." This is the general entry on the species on the Fallout Wiki, if you're at all interested -- they've been in both Bethesda games and New Vegas, it looks like, though designs changed a lot for FO4. AKA your friend skekSil there could have only lost those particular ones in the Commonwealth, as DC has a more bipedal variant. And I'm not surprised about space-time holes, in one of the first two isometric games (I forget which one), apparently you can find the TARDIS as a random encounter. XD (Plus, with Nirnroot specifically, Bethesda putting in a wink-and-a-nod to the other series they're known for.)
Ah, nice! I'm glad I was able to find that video! I was thinking the usual "fighting them" stuff wouldn't work well for actually figuring out their size. . . So yay, that's awesome! You're welcome! :)
