200 years of constant radiation was obviously going to create some pretty ugly things, this guy specifically, a Glowing One that took it even further beyond and became a living lightbulb. Anything even close to human has been melted away by radiation.

One of the most terrifying things for a wastelander to encounter, feral ghoul reavers are the deadliest scourge the wasteland has seen. Unwavering, unyielding, all-seeing, and nigh-unkillable, the Brotherhood, Enclave, and NCR combined couldn’t hope to kill every one of these demons in the wasteland.
