Standing at approximately 9ft tall they tower over their human opponents, and the majority of their Covenant allies. Their hide is of a brownish colour and exhibits an incredible toughness, a Brutes ability to withstand a huge amount of firepower wilst remaining seemingly unphased is testamant to this. | ||
They are covered in a thick shaggy fur that may offer further protection. It covers most of the body except for the head and the shoulder blades. Brutes exhibit two colourations, brown and grey. This is perhaps an indication of age, since lower ranking Brutes are brown and Honour Guard Brutes and Tartarus himself are grey. Since the species exhibits a pack mentality the concept that rank increases with age and experience seems to be in accordance with that mentality. As a result the highest ranking Brutes are the oldest and exhibit a grey coat, although unlike humans age sdoes not seem to diminish a Brute's strenght or power. | |||
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. | 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.
