When attacked in its weak spots the Brute has been observed to contract within its armored plates to protect itself. They are amazingly quick for their size, and you should have Stasis handy to slow them down or they can quickly run Isaac over like a freight train. Brutes attack Isaac with a decimating punch, and a headbutt that can easily knock him off his feet. They have an armored bone exoskeleton on their anterior body for defense, however, as aforementioned, the posterior of the creature is relatively weak and devoid of defense. They are vulnerable to attacks from behind, but given their speed and sheer power, getting into position for a clean shot is indeed difficult. They also possess nearly invulnerable natural armor on their front, though their back is completely devoid of armor. They are large, hardy, and like all necromorphs, extremely violent.



The Necromorphs Isaac must fight are disturbing by themselves, but the Brute could be the strongest of the lot. A combination of multiple hosts fused together into one large being, it’s impossible to tell exactly how many bodies have been reanimated to create this monster.
