'''Brutes''' are physically imposing enemies to face in combat. Standing at approximately 9 feet tall, they not only tower over their [[human]] opponents, but the majority of their [[Covenant]] allies. They have thick, gray skin, that is extremely resilient to damage.

They are covered in thick, shaggy fur that offers further protection. It covers most of the body except for the head and the shoulder blades. However,the Brutes in [[Halo 2]] are shaggier than those of [[Halo 3]]. In [[Halo 3]], the Brutes have what looks like scales on their arms but it mayhave been their armor. [[Brutes]] exhibit two colorations: brown and gray. This is perhaps an indication of age, since lower ranking [[Brutes]] are brown and [[Honor Guard Brutes]], and [[Tartarus]] himself are gray. In ''[[Halo 3]]'', they are seen with shaved faces, which increases the fearful effect they have on opponents.

In ''Halo 3'' [[Brutes]] have mixed red-and-blue blood (on first glance they look completely red, but on closer inspection one would see blue spots in pools of [[Brute]] blood). At a casual glance, it appears purple. In ''Halo 2'', however, it appeared black. [[Brutes]] resemble a cross between an ape and a rhino, being taller and more muscular in the torso and limbs than a [[human]].

*Although in [[Contact Harvest]] the Brutes wear the armor that they wear in [[Halo 3]], the armor changes for some reason in ''Halo 2''. For example, [[Tartarus]] wore the Red Captain Armor but it disappears in ''Halo 2''. This may be accounted for the fact that the Brutes where added "a little too late" (according to Et Tu Brute) in ''Halo 2''.  None the less, the question remains of why the Brutes gave up their power armor. The Brutes seen in ''Halo Wars'' (which may be multi-player-exclusive) also wear the ''Halo 3'' Brute armor. [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v164/bastable/brutes.jpg]
