The Wandering Glow is not just one creature for your Post-Apocalyptic Setting, but several: a mobile, migratory ecosystem of plants, animals and insects all based on radioactive collection and consumption, and propagation and emission.
It begins with a new species of Sunflower, now known to absorb and scrub radiation in the ecosystem.
They become their own species, now called a Glowflower, able to detect areas of high radiation, absorb it, then propagate it toward those new sources (The sunflowers face the closest source of radiation, instead of the sun). It would be a mobile, radioactive minefield (with a trail)
Radioactive flying species (insects and birds) would be the natural pollinators, propagators and denizens of such fields. Other animals can consume the seeds and later fertilize and transport them in their (glowing) feces. Animals who do this can detect radioactive areas and defecate in those areas. Radioactive creatures absorb radiation from these plants, either by consuming them or living among them.
Creatures who are radioactive or emit radioactivity (GW 4th edition):
- Blaashes [Gamma Moths]
- Kai Lins [Lizard Bushes] (mobile plants)
- Obbs [Flying Eyes]
- Barl Nep (Fish)
- Blood Birds [Red Death]
Creatures immune to radiation:
- Blights [Cloud Worms]
- Gators [Green Hissers]
A whole new ecological niche!
Talk about invasive species!
You could build an entire Cryptic Alliance out of this... (Sun Scrubbers?).
Radioactivists could be mobile gardeners.
