The Brute is composed of numerous human corpses and most of its body is covered with dense armoured plates made from bone and calcified skin. Its arms are longer than the rest of its body and so it moves by dragging itself along with its arms much like a gorilla. Appearing as a hulking humanoid beast, this monster is made from multiple human corpses. The Brute is a variety of Necromorph from the Dead Space video games.
