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, with only [[Mgalekgolo]] standing taller. They have thick, gray skin that is extremely resilient to damage. | Brutes are physically imposing enemies to face in combat.

Brutes are known to descend into a highly aggressive berserk killing-rage when all their pack mates have been killed. Their incredible physical strength coupled with a dogged self determination to kill their target makes a berserk Brute a force to be reckoned with, powerful enough even to kill Hunters (if they slam into the Hunter enough). Also, when berserking, they will not hesitate to attack an enemy, even if the target is in a vehicle, such as a [[Ghost]]. If the target is in a [[Spectre]] or [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]], they will board it and attempt to kill (in a [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]) or force the enemy out (such as in a [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] or [[Spectre]]). Interestingly, they will neither attack nor hijack a low flying vehicle (such as a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]]). | Brutes are known to descend into a highly aggressive berserk killing-rage when all their pack mates have been killed.

There is a substantial difference between the Brutes of ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]''. The Brutes of ''Halo 2'' had very little armor, were unclothed and unshaven. The Brutes of ''Halo 3'' were largely shaven, clothed in tight-fitting garments that reflected their rank and were adorned with [[ | There is a substantial difference between the Brutes of ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo 3]]''. The Brutes of ''Halo 2'' had very little armor, were unclothed and unshaven. The Brutes of ''Halo 3'' were largely shaven, clothed in tight-fitting garments that reflected their rank and were adorned with [[Jiralhanae power armor]]. This probably had something to do with the Brutes' new-found rank after the [[Sangheili|Elites]]' split from the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. | ||
The aesthetic and graphic differences between the two games also had a strong dichotomy between them, for the Brutes in ''Halo 2'' were less detailed and less anthropoid than they were in ''Halo 3''. This is a result of the technology available at the time the two games were made. | The aesthetic and graphic differences between the two games also had a strong dichotomy between them, for the Brutes in ''Halo 2'' were less detailed and less anthropoid than they were in ''Halo 3''.
