Brutes are formidable humanoid foes whose strength lies in their brawn rather than intellect. They appear exclusively in Ultima IX.
Description[edit]
Brutes are hulking humanoids who possess immense physical power coupled with exceptionally low intelligence. Incapable of higher reasoning, they exist primarily to engage in violence, taking pleasure in bare-knuckled brawling for its own sake. They are so dull-witted that they are largely unresponsive to physical pain.
In combat, a brute can stomp the ground hard enough when enraged to create an earth-shaking shockwave that stuns nearby opponents. They rely primarily on heavy physical strikes, often wielding large clubs.
Brutes were typically encountered roaming the wilderness of Britannia.
Lore[edit]
| “ | These mulish humanoids enjoy fisticuffs for its own sake. The spilling of their own blood and that of others waters the story of their lives. Imbeciles one and all, Brutes are too stupid to feel pain. When enraged, a Brute can shake the very earth and one blow from a Brute can return your body to it. |
