==Summary==
The Brute is one of the main antagonists of the horror game Monstrum, alongside the Hunter and the Fiend.
His origin is a mystery, though through notes it can be determined that he was a failed experiment, a human genetically manipulated, which was kept aboard a shipping container in the freight vessel Hisa Maru and sent somewhere before breaking free and killing most of the crew.
In Monstrum II, the Brute returns, or rather a different Brute from an implied long line of Brutes (which would explain the different design), born from the horrific experiments on the Sea Fort known as Sparrow Lock.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: At least 
Name: Unknown, the Brute
Origin: Monstrum
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown
Classification: Monster, possibly mutated human, Bioweapon
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics (Can even create earthquakes in Monstrum II), Enhanced Senses/Sound Manipulation (Able to smell a human close by, even if he can't see them, and has advanced hearing. Uses an ultrasonic roar in Monstrum II to detect others and can distinguish the organic from the inanimate with its echolocating roar.), Heat Manipulation/Radiation Manipulation (Is covered in solidified lava with remnants of a molten lava core inside of him housing an ongoing fusion reaction and can use his own body heat and radiation to kill people in seconds just by touching them, burned a hole in a ship's engine, in Monstrum II it's stated his core burns at 4000 degrees Kelvin), Light Manipulation (His eyes shine a light in the darkness, almost like spotlights), possibly limited Immortality (Type 1: May have been one of the specimens for an immortality experiment with Turritopsis Dohrnii DNA, which would fit the few humanlike traits that he has, such as a "normal" human arm with nails); Resistance to Fire Manipulation (Cannot be hurt by fire or flare guns)
Attack Potency: At least Wall level (Can easily crush heads, destroy wooden doors and smash thick metal doors open [even with his weak arm] or seriously dent them with his charges, which can also one-shot the protagonist. Was likely the one responsible for destroying a shipping container which should yield this much. Smashed a hole through a metal wall as seen in the Monstrum II teaser. Can cause small tremors in Monstrum II and is overall the strongest monster in both games, superior to the Hunter, the Fiend, the Bhagra and the Malacosm.), higher with charges (With four charges he's able to pulverize a power-locked metal door.)
Speed: Normal Human to Athletic Human (Comparable in speed to the protagonist, a sailor, and very much capable of catching up to speeding prey, with one instance of a Brute quickly barreling through a woman and closing the distance in moments.)
Lifting Strength: At least Class 5 (Can easily crush heads, break necks and destabilize a helicopter shortly after taking off)
Striking Strength: At least Wall level (Even its skinnier and weaker arm can one-shot the protagonist)
Durability: At least Wall level (Shrugged off being rammed by a helicopter into a shipping container)
Stamina: High
Range: Standard to extended melee range due to size
Intelligence: Animalistic (Described as dumb and capable of using only his immediate senses, and little if any intelligent thought. Also described as behaving in an animalistic way, specifically in a territorial manner.)
Weaknesses: The Brute's heavy footsteps can be heard from afar, meaning it's unable to be stealthy. There is a burning smell he gives off which can also give away his position, as can his glowing eyes or the roar he sometimes makes. He's vulnerable to pit traps (due to its heavy weight), fire extinguishers, and steam, though these last two merely inconvenience him for a couple of seconds.
