So any concepts for my mad max+fallout3-NV-4+steampunk+Wild magic nukes setting. Stuff that uses wrath(radiation) to temporarily lower max hp for players and can use guns are allowed, but mostly wild magic/radiation mutated monsters

Given you are dealing with mass death and nukes, you can have a lot of fun with fused undead. For example a Army-In-One, which is an undead fused collection of a squad or regiment of armed soldiers who got killed in one fell swoop by a wrath nuke. The body itself is a rough shape of a humanoid, but is composed of writhing armored corpses. One arm ends in all the guns of those corpses combined, the other in their swords.
Similarly, if your world had train-analogues, malevolent trains possessed by the corpses of its riders as they died of wrath radiation. The train is stuck on its tracks and mad with routine, but powerful and intelligent. Maybe it tries to get riders, only to turn on them when they offend it. You can take a lot of inspiration from the Dark Tower for that one.
A giant mutated hermit-crab that uses some sort of building as a shell. Or maybe its using an airship body or something like that would be interesting.
Like 76s hermit crab that uses the back half of a bus as a shell
Never played fallout but sounds about right lol
Nuclear blast Shadows (google for images). The shadows normally drain strength, you could change that to instead drain max hp based on the damage dealth.
Great idea! It even works with OP’s radiation analogue wrath. Say a shadow is literally the “shadow of wrath” - i.e. a being of pain, death and resentment after being exposed to pure wrath.
Maybe even go a step further with the shadow/apocalypse aspect - any object with a Nuclear/Wrath Shadow imprinted on it becomes possessed by the Shadow. The shadow-rubble-constructs can be anything, maybe even amalgams of objects and rubble and are clearly identifiable due to the centre point /weak point being the place with the shadow imprint. They can roam around looking to vent, or lie inactive until triggered.
