==Brute Physiology==

Jiralhanae or Brutes are a physically imposing enemy to face in combat. Standing at approximately 9ft tall they tower over their human opponents, and the majority of their Covenant allies.

Heavily muscled and possessed of an animalistic brutality and power Brutes can rely on close combat to defeat their enemies, even more so than their Elite counterparts. Featuring characteristics both Simian, Ursine and alien their appearance matches their human given name.

Brutes have four digits on each hand including an opposable thumb. As such this allows them to make use of a variety of weapons both of Covenant and Human design. When it comes to ranged conflict Brutes show a tendency to use large, rapid firing, often powerful weapons. This may be indicative of their mentality and an extension of their brutal nature. The many spikes and serrated edges that adorn their races weapons, vehicles and armour further exhibit this.

They exhibit an intelligence that may rival or equal that of Elites, providing an intense cunning behind all the muscle. As such they can pilot vehicles, ships and command both land based and fleet encounters with strategic competence, if lacking in artistic flare.

Known to descend into a berserk killing rage when faced with no other option, in such a state the danger a Brute poses is monumental, having been known to tear even Hunters apart when enraged to such a level. Their incredible physical strength coupled with a dogged self determination to kill their target makes a berserking Brute a force to be reckoned with.
