| The '''Jiralhanae''' (Latin, ''Servus ferox'', translated to "Wild Slave"<ref>http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive29.pl?read=865756</ref>) also known as '''Brute''' is a large ape-like species in the ''[[Halo]]'' series and a member of the [[Covenant]]. After the [[Jackal]], the Brute and [[Unggoy|Grunt]] were the second two Covenant species [[humans]] encountered. The Brutes have a profound hatred of the [[Sangheili|Elites]], unmatched by any other feud within the Covenant.
| |
| | |
| The Brutes have been part of the [[Covenant]] since before the destruction of the [[UNSC]] farming colony on [[Harvest]]<ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]], Page 194''</ref>, and were always feared by the [[Sangheili|Elites]] for their megalomaniacal behavior. The Brute's plans to seize power over the Sangheili began with their alliance with the [[Prophet of Truth]] during the [[Battle of Harvest]] and continued to gain headway until the eventual [[Great Schism|splitting]] of the Covenant. They briefly [[Changing of the Guard|became]] took the role of the [[Prophet]]'s [[Honor Guard]]s from the Elites after the Elites failed to prevent the assassination of the [[High Prophet of Regret]] by the [[Master Chief]].
| |
| | |
| They are rated a Native Tier 4/Adopted Tier 2 species by the Forerunner Technological Achievement system.<ref>[[Halo 3]] [[Bestiarum]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Description==
| |
| Brutes are of simian origin, they have been said to resemble large gorillas but, in some ways, they also resemble rhinoceroses, with ape-like characteristics. They have thick, gray skin, and are covered with matted, black, tan, or brown fur-like hair and some have short, black, or brown colored beards. Their large, stocky appearance is most likely due to the gravity on their planet, which is about twice the gravity of that on [[Earth]]. As they age, the hair will change to a grayish-silver color, which is a great sign of respect for all the Brutes.
| |
| | |
| They have sharp teeth and sometimes use them as a weapon. Standing roughly nine feet tall, they are immensely powerful even when pierced by multiple bullet wounds (to the point of overpowering a [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] in [[MJOLNIR armor]] in hand to hand combat) and fight hand-to-hand if they ever lose their [[weapon]]. [[John-117]] barely survived a hand-to-hand battle with one, proving how physically dangerous they can be. However it should be noted that John-117 and the other Spartans were suffering from the non-stop combat they had endured since the battle of Reach, with John-117 sustaining, in Doctor Halsey's words, "Burns, brain damage, fractures, and internal bleeding". The other Spartans involved in the fight had sustained various injuries from falling over two kilometers at terminal velocity onto Reach's surface. The Spartans were also in Mark V armor.<ref>''[[Halo 2 Collector's Edition Game Manual]]''</ref>
| |
| | |
| The Brutes, with the exception of [[Tartarus]], did not use energy shielding in ''[[Halo 2]]''. In ''[[Halo 3]]'', all of them are equipped with [[Power Armor]]. Brutes speak in deep, gravelly voices when speaking Human languages and may also sound this way when speaking their own.
| |
| | |
| In many military records, Brutes are referred to as 'Bravo Kilos', since [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] have nicknamed Brutes "Baby Kongs" or "Gorillas", a reference to King Kong.
| |
| | |
| == Anatomy and Physiology== | |
| [[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 may have been extensions to their armor. [[Brutes]] exhibit two colorations: brown and Grey. This is perhaps an indication of age, since lower ranking [[Brutes]] are brown and most [[Jiralhanae Honor Guardsman|Honor Guards]], and [[Tartarus]] himself, are Grey. In ''[[Halo 3]]'', they are seen with shaved faces, which increases the fearful effect they have on opponents.
