Brute
The Brute is a straightforward combat machine, as uncomplicated as it is effective. Brute monsters wade straight into the melee and begin causing harm, often heedless of their own safety.
Attributes
Obviously, the Brute prioritizes Body over any other attribute, but they typically match it with Agility. After all, they can survive longer if they are not being struck as frequently.
