Brutes are of simian origin, they have been said to resemble large gorillas but, in some ways, they also resemble rhinoceroses, with ape-like characteristics. They have thick, gray skin, and are covered with matted, black, tan, or brown fur-like hair and some have short, black, or brown colored beards. Their large, stocky appearance is most likely due to the gravity on their planet, which is about twice the gravity of that on [[Earth]]. As they age, the hair will change to a grayish-silver color, which is a great sign of respect for all the Brutes.

They have very sharp teeth and sometimes use them as a weapon. Standing roughly ~~nine~~ feet tall, they are immensely powerful even when pierced by multiple bullet wounds (to the point of overpowering a [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] in [[MJOLNIR armor]] in hand to hand combat) and fight hand-to-hand if they ever lose their [[weapon]]. [[John-117]] barely survived a hand-to-hand battle with one, proving how physically dangerous they can be. However it should be noted that John-117 and the other Spartans were suffering from the non-stop combat they had endured since the battle of Reach, with John-117 sustaining, in Doctor Halsey's words, "Burns, brain damage, fractures, and internal bleeding". The other Spartans involved in the fight had sustained various injuries from falling over two kilometers at terminal velocity onto Reach's surface. The Spartans were also in Mark V armor.<ref>''[[Halo 2 Collector's Edition Game Manual]]''</ref>

The Brutes, with the exception of [[Tartarus]], did not use energy shielding in ''[[Halo 2]]''. In ''[[Halo 3]]'', all of them are equipped with [[Power Armor]]. However, the [[Power Armor]] the Brutes wear slightly resembles the armor that the Spartans wore in the [[Battle of Thermopylae]]. The Brute armor emphasizes strength and power. Brutes speak in deep, gravelly voices when speaking Human languages and may also sound this way when speaking their own.
