The Brute | comment |
Someone has to be the true powerhouse of the villains; this would be Evil's answer to The Big Guy. A Giant Mook with personality, the Brute is huge, all muscle, loves to fight and is very good at it. However, while he may at first appear to be The Hero's equal or even superior in combat, subsequent battles will in all likelihood establish the Brute as being a constant jobber to the Hero. He is usually a bully with a hot temper, and more often than not, also pretty stupid because of Brains Versus Brawn (though there are exceptions). Super-Strength and Nigh-Invulnerability are common among powered varieties. Female brutes are rare outside of all-women groups, although not unheard of. Because of his size and power, expect some overlap with Evil Is Bigger, with the hero generally being portrayed as smaller than him. If The Dragon isn't the one that gets sent out to antagonize the heroes on a regular basis, it's this guy. He is usually the lowest-ranking member of the inner circle's hierarchy, and his abrasive personality means he generally gets little to no respect from them, though he may exercise authority over the mooks. He is often the first opponent the heroes face after their successes require that someone more capable be sent to take care of them. He tends to be either blindly loyal or just too thickheaded and incompetent to ever stand a chance of overthrowing the leaders. Despite his role as the primary brute force of the Evil Army, he is rarely ever as strong as The Dragon. One thing to keep in mind with this character type is that it's the role and rank as opposed to just the personality that defines it. Pete from the Disney canon is a classic example of the Brute personality type: a big dumb bully that just loves to throw his own weight around. However, he's generally used as a Big Bad (or, in works like Kingdom Hearts II, The Dragon). As such, in most appearances, he is not technically a Brute. Considering his aforementioned general role as the mean, stupid, and disrespected meat shield for his team, the Brute tends to be especially susceptible to Humiliation Conga and The Worf Effect. A Brute whose demeanor becomes implacable will quickly ascend to the status of Juggernaut, while the more emotionally volatile risk becoming The Berserker. Be wary too, recruiters, of a Brute who pets the dog, lest he prove to be a closet Gentle Giant and, if you mistreat him once too often, may very well eventually pull a Heel–Face Turn (if not a Humiliation Conga of his own) on you. The Dog Bites Back, in other words. Compare: Smash Mook, Giant Mook. Contrast: Evil Genius, Gentle Giant. Compare AND Contrast: The Big Guy (The Brute is listed as a Class 6) and Feral Villain. |

Choujuu Sentai Liveman has Dr Obular, the only member of Volt to give himself a permanent monster form. Later on Volt receives a second Brute when Doctor Ashura, a tough gang leader whom Bias modified to be an even stronger Genius Bruiser, is brought in and slowly squeezes Obular out. Gash seems like he'd be a third Brute, but he's actually Bias's true Dragon and co-conspirator. | |

Another brute that makes another appearance is Kamon Kanai, though as Yoshida Toshimaro in Like a Dragon: Ishin! (replaced by Shimano in the remake). He wields a Kanabo and only serves as a boss. There's the mercenary Thomas Glover, an expy of Andre Richardson, who's particularly tall and bulky, and Dual Wields pistols. |

In Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, Auel of the Extended team, and Shinn Asuka comes very close to fulfilling this role hierarchically and personality-wise for the ZAFT team, despite being equal to, or better than, Rey The Dragon, in combat. Shinn is an unusual case in that he's the protagonist and doesn't realize until after ZAFT's defeat that he had been manipulated into fighting for the wrong side. | |

Hunter: The Vigil: One of the archetypes for slashers is the Brute, a strong man (or woman) who kills just because it feels right. Their natural talent embodies the slasher trope of "the killer gets back up just when you think he's dead," and they eventually become the Mask, which is like Jason Voorhees on PCP. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: Among the Seven Barian Emperors, Girag and Alito are essentially the Brutes of the group, but they also serve as subversions. Girag has the build and appearance of a Brute, being very tall and muscular, but he prefers brainwashing people over direct confrontations because he's too afraid of the consequences of losing. He's not dumb per se, but his schemes can't compare to the likes of Vector. His deck is also very defensive, and while his Signature Mon is gigantic, it's also has the lowest stats out of the seven. By contrast, Alito is very confrontational and prefers to face his opponent face-to-face and is disgusted by Girag's cowardly tactics, and has a very strong sense of honor, which differs from a normal Brute. However, Alito's deck is focused primarily on Battle Phase effects, reflecting his Blood Knight nature. He's also a boxer and he likes to throw hands with his best friend Girag, showing that the two are physically evenly matched. Alito also duels against Yuma the most and he has in fact more on-screen duels than the other six Barian Emperors (from a certain point of view). | |

X-Men Blob is usually portrayed this way in most media and adaptations. Quicksilver boils down to role for his father Magneto a lot of the time as well like in Ultimate X-Men. Though he pulled off a Heel–Face Turn in the main universe. The Juggernaut is defined by this role for his partner in crime Black Tom. The Sentinels for Bolivar Trask. Avalanche, Pyro and formerly Rogue were this for Mystique’s Brotherhood of Mutants. Sabretooth to Magneto or Weapon X. Omega Red to The Don Matsu'o Tsurayaba. Donald Pierce for the Hellfire Club. Though he outstrips most of them in terms of power, Gladiator is often this to the Shi'ar Empire e.g The Dark Phoenix Saga. |

Vincent "Vinny" Perotta, UnSub of Season 1's "Natural Born Killer", is a six and a half foot tall mafia hitman, who moonlights as a Serial Killer, and has a thing for gruesomely dismembering his victims. Profiled with antisocial and paranoid personality disorders, Vinny's too unstable to take part in the day-to-day operations of Michael Russo's mob outfit and sits outside the regular chain of command, holding no official position or authority over their underlings, but taking orders from Russo and Russo alone. | |

Bleach: Yammy Llargo is an unskilled mass of raw temper and rage, who lives for destroying and consuming souls and never develops the spiritual skills that make other Espada and even Fracciónes so dangerous. He is the lowest-ranking member of the Espada until his rage-fuelled Resureccion is released, which powers him up to become the strongest, angriest, most violent and most thoughtless of all Espada. As a result, he is viewed as an embarrassment by the Espada and an unworthy opponent by the Shinigami. He has average intelligence, which makes him on the bottom of the Espada in terms of brains yet again. | |

Kamen Rider Wizard has the Phoenix Phantom, a psychotic berserker and Greater Phantom whose method for creating more Phantoms usually involves assaulting a Gate until they give into despair. In fact, because of his sadistic and brutish tendencies (which in one case led to him beating a Gate to death before a Phantom could fully manifest), he's often kept on the sidelines by Wiseman while Medusa is the one who usually creates Phantoms. | |

The Judgment series has a plethora of brutes to go around. Markers: JE is Judge eyes, LJ is Lost Judgment, and KF is Kaito Files. JE: Kojiro Ozaki, Lieutenant of the Matsunage Family. He's the largest of them all, being tall and bulky (in both muscle and fat). JE: Hot-Blooded Akira Murase of the Kyorei Clan. He gets a bomb strapped to his back. JE: Renji Honda, the muscled Blood Knight of the Keihin Gang. JE: Kaito Sakakiba, the Fat Bastard of the Keihin Gang. (Occasionally dresses as Yagami. You definitely can't tell the difference.) JE: Sakuraba, The Quiet One who lets Mitsuru Kuroiwa do the talking. JE: Mashiko, the ADDC Security Guard who has his own men to back him up. LJ: Sakaki of the delinquent students, but he becomes The Big Guy later down the line in his Heel–Face Turn. LJ: Fudo "The Killer" Oshikiri, an enforcer of the Neo Keihin Gang under Renji Honda. LJ: Daimu Akutsu, who's more of The Dragon with his role, though he is this in terms of practice. KF: Fudo makes an appearance again, this time for the Bato Detective Agency, losing to Kaito, and reflecting on how bad he treated his son Kenya upon witnessing Kaito and Jun's father-son relationship. KF: Shusuke Kenmochi, the frontman of Crimson Lotus, and the Brute to Big Bad Kyoya Sadamoto. Oh yeah, and he can tear off a lightpost out of the ground. |

Several cutscenes in Street Fighter Alpha 3 show Balrog playing this role within Bison's Shadaloo organization. Although if you play as him, he will betray Bison in a power grab. Balrog/"Boxer" is definitely The Brute of Shadaloo... anywhere but in Street Fighter Alpha 3. In that game, he's The Dragon (to Bison/"Dictator"). Interestingly, The Dolls actually fit this better for Shadaloo, being unthinking killing machines albeit unwilling ones. Since Helen a.k.a. Kolin fits better as The Dragon for Gill, Urien fulfills this role for The Illuminati being a violent, sadistic, arrogant scheming Jerkass, as seen in Street Fighter III and SFV. Charlie Nash played this role twice for The Illuminati and Shadaloo (Udon Comics) when he Came Back Wrong, he got better though. |

In the Fire Emblem series: Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade has Wyvern General Narcien. He's the most destructive and ruthless of the three Wyvern Generals, but in last place among the three with regards to sanity, loyalty, courage, tactical aptitude, and fighting skills. Makes you wonder how he even got hired. Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade features Denning. He doesn't actually seem to be part of the inner circle of villains (as he has no scenes with the Big Bad or any other prominent enemies) and he's a one-chapter wonder, but he fits in that he's dumber than a post and exists solely to sic legions of even stupider Mooks at you and rant "This is a message from Lord Nergal. 'I await you on the Dread Isle.'" He's also the only physical attacker among the Morphs. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance has General Bertram, one of the Four Riders of Daien, a Brainwashed and Crazy Death Seeker who only speaks in broken Sssssnake Talk. Theoretically Co-Dragons with The Black Knight and Generals Bryce and Petrine, Bertram is too insane to actually lead his troops, and holds his position based solely on his combat skills. Fire Emblem Fates has Hans, one of Garon's Co-Dragons. He serves as the main ground-level enforcer of Garon's will and takes great joy in slaughtering anyone who crosses him, and he's a massive Leeroy Jenkins. |

The gang of teenage goons who terrorize Springfield Elementary on The Simpsons consist of Jimbo, Dolph and Kearney. Kearney is the most physically imposing of the bullies, wears spiked bracelets on his wrists, and — unlike the other gang members — is actually a slightly-smaller-than-average adult who remembers the U.S. Bicentennial of 1976, has a son nearly as intimidating as he is, and has apparently been held back in grade school indefinitely because he really is that stupid. (An issue of Simpsons Comics reveals that he wears pink underpants.) | |

The Like a Dragon series has plenty of brutes. Yakuza 0 has Daisaku Kuze, someone who Kiryu faces off against a grand total of 5 TIMES. There's also Homare Nishitani, who may not be as muscular as Kiryu (or even Majima for that matter), but he sure as hell is unhinged and rather disrespected by his Omi peers. Yakuza: Futoshi Shimano, Majima's boss. The loudest and strongest of the major antagonists, and has the stature and brutality to back it up. Hiroshi Hayashi, the tall and slender Lieutenant Advisor of the Omi Alliance that Kiryu squares up against. He also makes an appearance in... ...Yakuza 2, as the "Lap Dog" of Ryuji Goda. He even Dual Wields two torn-off pipes later on in the fight! On a much larger scale, Ryuji can be considered this to The Man Behind the Man Ryo Takashima, who is less of a Blood Knight that does the dirty work and more of a Dirty Coward that schemes from the sidelines. In Yakuza 3, Fat Bastard Kanda is considered this. Mine takes care of him quick, though. In Yakuza 4, Takeshi Kido, even if he's not really that bad, since he's also the one that Taiga Saejima is up against. He's also very disrespected by his peers who think of him as a Dirty Coward even though he can wipe the floor with a bunch of Yakuza Members just because of his choice of clothing (making him look like a Mook than a proper boss or even a Mauve Shirt), though Saejima gives him some wisdom to Go Balls Out. Another character is Daisaku Minami, who's definitely this as the Lieutenant of Majima's Family. The closest thing to The Dragon that Majima has is his meek high ranking Lieutenant Nishida, who's doing A LOT for the boss, and is clearly held in higher favor than Minami. There's also Jiro Amon, who's strong and disrespected a lot (being called "girly" by Saejima), but wields a sledgehammer that explodes on impact. Takumi Midorikawa, despite being The Dragon in title (being the captain of the Hatsushiba Clan), is this in practice. In Yakuza 5, Masato Aizawa appears to be this, but to Kiryu's surprise and confusion (and even his own), He's the final boss of the game. In rank, he may be The Dragon, but Yahata is definitely this. Hotheaded and aggressive, Yahata fights Kiryu twice. He goes down in one hit later on, but that's because he's considerably injured. On a much smaller scale, Implacable Man Kanai is this for Naoki Katsuya, and also Akiyama's own final boss. In Yakuza 6, There's Ed, a tall, heavyset man with both Stout Strength, being Acrofatic, and also being extremely skilled with a karambit. In Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Yosuke Tendo is this, though he's significantly smarter than a typical brute, despite his Boxing Background. Alongside Tendo is Reiji Ishioda, since Sawashiro's The Dragon to Masumi and Tendo's his favorite, Ishioda is the one spending most of the time on the frontline. There's also Mirror Face, who can shapeshift into either Koichi Adachi, or the aforementioned Yosuke Tendo. The Judgment series has a plethora of brutes to go around. Markers: JE is Judge eyes, LJ is Lost Judgment, and KF is Kaito Files. JE: Kojiro Ozaki, Lieutenant of the Matsunage Family. He's the largest of them all, being tall and bulky (in both muscle and fat). JE: Hot-Blooded Akira Murase of the Kyorei Clan. He gets a bomb strapped to his back. JE: Renji Honda, the muscled Blood Knight of the Keihin Gang. JE: Kaito Sakakiba, the Fat Bastard of the Keihin Gang. (Occasionally dresses as Yagami. You definitely can't tell the difference.) JE: Sakuraba, The Quiet One who lets Mitsuru Kuroiwa do the talking. JE: Mashiko, the ADDC Security Guard who has his own men to back him up. LJ: Sakaki of the delinquent students, but he becomes The Big Guy later down the line in his Heel–Face Turn. LJ: Fudo "The Killer" Oshikiri, an enforcer of the Neo Keihin Gang under Renji Honda. LJ: Daimu Akutsu, who's more of The Dragon with his role, though he is this in terms of practice. KF: Fudo makes an appearance again, this time for the Bato Detective Agency, losing to Kaito, and reflecting on how bad he treated his son Kenya upon witnessing Kaito and Jun's father-son relationship. KF: Shusuke Kenmochi, the frontman of Crimson Lotus, and the Brute to Big Bad Kyoya Sadamoto. Oh yeah, and he can tear off a lightpost out of the ground. In Yakuza: Dead Souls, Hiroshi Hayashi makes an appearance yet again as another brute. But he's not just any brute now, oh no. He's Patient Zero of the zombie strain that's been rampaging all around Kamurocho, and the long-term effects aren't pretty. Another brute that makes another appearance is Kamon Kanai, though as Yoshida Toshimaro in Like a Dragon: Ishin! (replaced by Shimano in the remake). He wields a Kanabo and only serves as a boss. There's the mercenary Thomas Glover, an expy of Andre Richardson, who's particularly tall and bulky, and Dual Wields pistols. |

Vita of the Wolkenritter from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's ties this trope in a knot. Yes we are looking at a hot tempered, rude, and arrogant warhammer-wielding berserker. However, not only are the Wolkenritter in general the platonic ideal of anti-villains but Vita herself is an (apparently) eight-year old redhead in a poofy dress and matching hat. In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS, there are several brutes among the Numbers. Dieci has the strongest firepower, Deed is the best in armed close-combat, Nove has a very hot temper whose very strong in close-combat, Sette has a heavily combat-orientated personality, and Cinque is one of the strongest, but isn't one of the Co-Dragons. In Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha FORCE, Deville of Hückebein is probably the best example in his family, having the largest build, an axe and the most drastic change when Reacting so far. Arnage also fits, thanks to her reckless Macross Missile Massacre/More Dakka fighting style, and if they aren't enough, she switches immediately to a Wave-Motion Gun. Quinn Garland is the special attacker of the Grendel Family, and has some anger issues in contrast to the more level-headed dragon, Mariya Ranevskaya. |

Tales Series: Tales of Symphonia: Boisterous Bruiser Magnius fills this role for the Desian Grand Cardinals, since he's an axe-wielding combatant who believes in the organization's cause, but isn't smart enough to realize that his fellow Cardinal Rodyle is manipulating him. Tales of the Abyss: Largo the Black Lion fits the role but also subverts it: A giant man over six feet tall and wielding a Sinister Scythe, he is a Well-Intentioned Extremist Warrior Poet who is usually very calm and collected, and views battle as a means to an end and not as an end in itself. He is also something of a Worthy Opponent. Although he is the first God-General defeated he returns to plague you several times, and in each of his appearances he's usually strong enough to be a match for a full party. Arietta actually plays this more straight in personality and actions while being the Token Mini-Moe of the God-Generals. Despite her Leeroy Jenkins tendencies and not being particularly clever (she spends the majority of the game being manipulated by others) she doesn't need to be when she can just Zerg Rush enemies with her monsters. Whenever something calls for pure force, the God-Generals rely on Arietta and her beastmaster skills. Tales of Zestiria: Lunarre is an Ax-Crazy Hellion who works for the Big Bad, Heldalf. His main role is to use his skills as an ex-assassin and his new fire artes to help start a war between Hyland and Rolance, but he tends to prioritize his own bloodlust against the Shepherd's party. However, he is capable of complex plans and manipulations, making him a downplayed example. In the postgame DLC, he organizes a Hellion attack on Camlann in order to kill or corrupt Sorey and Maotelus in the middle of their hibernation, and it's implied that the combination of his malice and intelligence will turn him into Heldalf's successor as Lord of Calamity, making him a rare example of a brute becoming the new main antagonist. Maotelus is an Empyrean-turned-Hellion who plays this trope straight, albeit unwillingly, since he is unable to think rationally in his current state and therefore provides no intellectual contribution to Heldalf's plans. His role is to act as Heldalf's Armatization partner in the good ending and transform into an unstoppable rampaging dragon in the bad ending. |

This fits the depiction of Thymilph from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann pretty well. A gorilla that is Large and in Charge and the first of the four generals that Simon and crew encounter, this guy has the distinction of being the first villain to kill one of the heroes, namely, Decoy Protagonist and Big Brother Mentor Kamina. | |

In Naruto, Jiroubou of the Sound Five definitely qualifies. One could argue that Hidan, Kakuzu, or Kisame fulfills this role for the Akatsuki, and that Jugo (his bloodthirsty side, at least) is Sasuke's in Hebi / Taka. Sasuke after joining the Akatsuki. Zetsu and Kisame are Tobi's Co-Dragons, with Zetsu being more of the right-hand man and Kisame being more of the strong right arm, but both have Tobi's absolute trust and display Undying Loyalty to him. Sasuke, on the other hand, is well-known for his Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, so while he sees himself as an Aloof Ally or Dragon with an Agenda, Tobi tends to throw him and his followers at difficult problems, like softening up a priority target such as a jinchuuriki and a kage. The assignments he gave Zetsu and Kisame and their roles in his plans compared to how Sasuke is used make it abundantly clear that Sasuke's quest for revenge has put him under the power of a guy who sees him as expendable muscle. The revived Madara Uchiha is this for Tobi and Kabuto's alliance (alongside Sasuke), due to him having both the Mangekyo Sharingan and Rinnegan along with inexhaustible reserves of chakra and sheer raw power greater than any other Edo Tensei zombie. Then Kabuto gets taken out of the picture and Madara takes his spot in the Big Bad Duumvirate. |

Wilhelm in Borderlands 2. In Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, he started out as the Enforcer for Jack's group of Vault Hunters, a hulking, very durable mercenary with a selection of durability and damage enhancements (he has an entire skill tree called Dreadnought). By the time of 2, he's Handsome Jack's most feared minion, a terrifying murder machine who threw the original Vault Hunters out of New Haven by taking them all on solo and winning. While not stupid, exactly, he's not shown to be particularly deep or thoughtful (his idea of a deep personal confession is "I like steak and robots"). | |

RWBY: Physically, Hazel's the tallest character in the series at eight feet zero, which combines with his muscular build to make even tall characters look frail by comparison. Although Hazel appears calm, rational and pacifistic on the surface, it hides a darker truth. He descends into a violent, unstoppable rage when in the presence of Ozpin, due to his undying hatred for the man he holds responsible for the death of his sister. Unlike most fighters in the setting, Hazel does not appear to use any weapons. Instead, thanks to a Semblance that allows him to Feel No Pain, he stabs Dust crystals into his arms which powers him up even beyond his physical limits. He then fights with his fists, empowered by the Dust crystals which give his fists elemental attacks, such as fire or lightning. | |

In the 2010 version of Nikita, Roan fills the role. A Cleaner who Nikita scarred by his own acid and silent badass, the universal reaction to encountering him is to wet your pants and run. Roan may be so deadly that he qualifies as a Hero Killer. To date, Nikita is the only one who managed to get one-up on him, and she still runs if she has the chance when he shows up. As of mid-Season 2, it can also be argued that Roan has elements of The Dragon — he's Percy's most loyal and deadliest remaining agent, and the one organized the Guardians into action when Amanda and Oversight locked Percy up. |

Wonder Woman: Prior to Wonder Woman (Rebirth) where his attempts to reform into a modern style hero panned out a bit better than in previous incarnations, Heracles had incredible strength that he would turn on people with little notice, and obscure reasoning. He was also incredibly misogynistic by today's terms and his father can set him on people quite easily since he rarely thinks things through before acting. Giganta often serves this role on whatever supervillain team she is on. |

In The Redemption of Althalus Pekhal and Gelta are the ones that Ghend calls in when he and Daeva have a situation that requires straight up brute force, as opposed to cunning or subtlety (which Evil Genius Argan and Koman deal with). Both are relics from the Stone Age, and are vicious, cruel, more than a little stupid, and in Gelta's case prone to fits of psychotic rage. They don't get much more brutish. | |

He's the biggest, wields more powerful weapons (like a shotgun) and unlike his compatriots has let his skills atrophy. However, he's far from stupid and his clash with the Bride ends with a resounding victory for him where he could have easily killed her had he wanted to. |

Harry Potter: Crabbe and Goyle are this to school bully Draco Malfoy. They are described as being dimwitted (they didn't pass their exams in fifth year) and having gorilla-like arms. They are always seen accompanying Draco, being used by him to intimidate his victims. Crabbe and Goyle's fathers were the two largest Death Eaters present at Voldemort's rebirth and seem just as dull-witted as their sons. Thorfinn Rowle is this within Voldemort's Death Eaters. He is one of, if not the largest of the Death Eaters and usually duels in a very skilled and aggressive manner, killing one of his fellow Death Eaters with a stray shot. Walden Macnair is a large, bloodthirsty and aggressive Death Eater. He spent the years between wars as an executioner for the Ministry, greatly appreciated Voldemort's promise of victims, and helped recruit the Giants by bonding over bloodshed. Hagrid refers to him as a maniac. Another good example is the savage Werewolf Fenrir Greyback. He is an ally to the Death Eaters who revels in his bloodlust. Voldemort used him as a weapon to intimidate people into doing his bidding. If people refused, Fenrir would be sent to attack their children. In the later books, it is revealed Voldemort acquired Giants for his army. In this universe, Giants are a sentient species slightly less intelligent compared to humans, but have the power to make up for it. |

Lu Bu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Initially, he is able to handily intimidate all dissenters from taking down Dong Zhou, drive away Cao Cao when Cao Cao comes to assassinate Dong Zhou, and take on Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Liu Bei at once. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Liu Bei are held up as amazing warriors because three on one they didn't flee Lu Bu and forced him to retire. Lu murders his lord and adopted father for a horse, his next lord for a 16 year old dancer (not that kind), and dies an alcoholic wreck of a man. | |

Sentai's American adaptation Power Rangers, also has its fair share of Brutes. Goldar, from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, does seem to fit this trope, being the muscle to Rita and later Zedd, but also has the capability of making plans that rely on psychological warfare, rather than brute force. Rito Revolto, introduced in the third season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, actually comes closer, as he is really dimwitted and only used as a dumb muscle. Power Rangers Zeo has Louie Kaboom who is basically The Bully. That said, he's more powerful, intelligent and dangerous than most of the other villains of the show. This include the Big Bad. Power Rangers Turbo has Elgar the Dumb Muscle and Ace Pilot of the Space Pirate(s). Power Rangers in Space has Ecliptor The Dragon, Darkonda The Sociopath of the show, and Psycho Blue the Evil Counterpart of The Lancer. Power Rangers Lost Galaxy has Furio, who is basically Sambash adapted with a different costume. There is also Barbarax, the most physically imposing general of this season and The Dragon of Captain Mutiny. Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue has Loki, the adaptation of Baron Cobolda. Power Rangers Time Force has Gluto, the Dumb Muscle of the Mutants. Ironically, his costume is based on Don Dolnero, the Big Bad of Timeranger. Power Rangers Wild Force has General Retinax, bodyguard of Master Org. Power Rangers Ninja Storm has Choobo, who is Chuzubo as an Adaptational Wimp. Power Rangers: Dino Thunder has General Zeltrax tha Arch-Enemy of Tommy Oliver. Power Rangers S.P.D. has General Benaag, the strongest minion of The Emperor. He only lasts for one episode, though. Morticon in Power Rangers Mystic Force is Branken's character adapted with very little differences. During the last Story Arc, the Brute is Megahorn. Power Rangers Operation Overdrive has Benglo, the American version of Great Beast Rei. Power Rangers Jungle Fury has Land Overlord Grizzaka, Maku's American counterpart and General Whiger, Suugu's counterpart (except Whiger is slightly smarter than Suugu). Power Rangers RPM has a strange example, as the Brute in this series, General Crunch is of a very lean build, while the more broadly build General Shifter is actually the Evil Genius. Power Rangers Samurai and Super Samurai have Deker, Juzo Fuwa's american counterpart. Power Rangers Megaforce has Creepox and Bluefear, the Climax Boss of the two first arcs. Power Rangers Super Megaforce has Argus, the power rangers' counterpart of Barizorg, except that he is a robot, not a cyborg. Also he's "just" the blue ranger's rival, not his ex mentor. The Emperor's elite guards Matacore and Yellzor also fit, but they both last for one episode. Power Rangers Dino Charge has Fury, Sledge's strongest general and first lieutenant. Power Rangers Dino Super Charge has Snide, who is surprisingly the presumed main villain. Power Rangers Ninja Steel has Ripcon, Raizo's power rangers' counterpart and the second-in-command of Galvanax. Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel has Brax, Mangetsu's power rangers' counterpart and the strongest general of Madame Odius. Power Rangers Beast Morphers has Cybervillain Blaze, The Rival of the red ranger. He's most of the time the dumbest general of Evox. When he does use his brain, however... let's just say that it's better to NOT think about it. Power Rangers Dino Fury has Boomtower, the Dumb Muscle of Void Knight in season 1. In season 2, he is replaced by Wreckmate, a robotic pirate-themed general. |

Adus in The Elenium trilogy. "Just put armor on a gorilla and you've got him." He's a mentally-handicapped thug who serves Martel as his best enforcer and killer. Martel considers Adus to be little more than a weapon ("I use him for killing people") and everyone who meets him looks down on him due to his stupidity and lack of hygiene. He has all the hallmarks of the personality type too, being dumb, but a savante when it comes to small unit tactics, willing to cut through his own men just to get to the heroes, and lacking the ability to so much as read. | |

Kamen Rider has had its fair share of Brutes over the years. Kamen Rider Kuuga has Go-Gadoru-Ba, who leads the strongest Gurongi group, the Go Group, and acts as enforcer for the Gurongi "judge" Ra-Baruba-De, who herself is The Dragon for Gurongi leader N-Daguva-Zeba. Kamen Rider Ryuki has Takeshi Asakura/Kamen Rider Ouja, a battle hungry Serial Killer with the highest kill count among the Riders in the Battle Fight. He's initially brought in thanks to Jun Shibaura/Kamen Rider Gai, but later ends up doing temp work for Shiro Kanzaki. Kamen Rider 555 has Mr. J, the Crocodile Orphnoch, as this among the Lucky Clover and the one usually used by their employer for missions that require muscle. After J's exit, the role was left vacant in the Lucky Clover until they fill it in with Ax-Crazy mass murderer Aki Sawada. Kamen Rider Kiva has Rook, the Lion Fangire, who is a Spree Killer who would try to kill a certain number of people who matched whatever theme he picked within whatever time limit he chose, with ice cream as the reward for success and electrocuting himself with a power cable as the punishment for failure. He and Bishop were the only two members of the Checkmate Four to be active in both 1986 and 2008. Kamen Rider Fourze has Kou Tasugami/Leo Zodiarts, bodyguard to Mitsuaki Gamou and his go-to guy for missions that require muscle. Kamen Rider Wizard has the Phoenix Phantom, a psychotic berserker and Greater Phantom whose method for creating more Phantoms usually involves assaulting a Gate until they give into despair. In fact, because of his sadistic and brutish tendencies (which in one case led to him beating a Gate to death before a Phantom could fully manifest), he's often kept on the sidelines by Wiseman while Medusa is the one who usually creates Phantoms. Kamen Rider Gaim gives us a female example with Yoko Minato/New Generation Rider Marika. Despite her smaller stature, Yoko is a skilled fighter, even in her non-transformed state, and acts as the Bodyguard Babe of Ryoma Sengoku. Later on, Ryoma adds another Brute to Yggdrasill's ranks when he takes Kaito Kumon on as an additional enforcer. When the Overlord Inves make their introduction, the role gets taken by Demushu. Kamen Rider Drive has Mashin Chaser as this for the Roidmude Executives, the "Grim Reaper" used by them to eliminate rogue Roidmudes or, more often, just as muscle to hold off Drive. Kamen Rider Build has Fu and Rai Washio/Remocon and Engine Bro's, a pair of Tyke Bomb Supersoldiers raised by Juzaburo Namba, and typically used by him as muscle to hassle the heroes or back up his other fighters. Kamen Rider Saber: This is Zooous's role in the Megid between the scheming Storious and (mostly) strategic Legeiel. In contrast to those two planners, Zooous is a battle-hungry bruiser who doesn't care about anything but bashing heads and snarking at his fellows. Kamen Rider Revice has Julio/Wolf Deadman, bodyguard and enforcer of their "Queen of Evil" Aguilera. Kamen Rider Geats: Michinaga Azuma becomes this after siding with the Jyamato, even getting an upgrade that makes him much more durable. |

Chouseishin Series: Chouseishin Gransazer: The Impactors have Radia, who has the bulkiest fighting form among them and primarily uses brute force attacks in battle. Algol is this for the Garbans, acting as their assassin and having a suitably bloodthirsty personality to go along with it. Genseishin Justiriser has the Hades Army's Demon Knight, who's tough enough to take on all three Justirisers in his initial battle with them. Chousei Kantai Sazer X: Blaird is this for the Descal. He's the strongest of the Three Shoguns, but also very hotheaded and not the smartest. When the Neo Descal fleet arrives, Jackall serves as their main muscle, although his vendetta towards Commander Shark means they have a hard time keeping a leash on him whenever Shark is present. |

He's sharp enough to fight dirty, hits like a truck... oh, and did we mention he's a Fire Adept with a huge variety of unique and powerful spells at his disposal? The good news is that he defers to authority. The bad news? He thinks Prox plans to Take Over the World, and is quite determined to make it happen... | |

Homestuck: The Midnight Crew's Hearts Boxcar. As a Dersite agent, he's appropriately referred as the Hegemonic Brute. Oddly enough he's also a Shipper on Deck, though he's still quite brutish about it. Lord English. While he prefers to leave most of the heavy lifting to his more cunning underlings, when he gets personally involved he tends to just overpower everyone in his path. |

Prior to Wonder Woman (Rebirth) where his attempts to reform into a modern style hero panned out a bit better than in previous incarnations, Heracles had incredible strength that he would turn on people with little notice, and obscure reasoning. He was also incredibly misogynistic by today's terms and his father can set him on people quite easily since he rarely thinks things through before acting. | |

Resident Evil: The Tyrants, in particular, T-00 aka "Mr X" of RE2 is this for Umbrella, an Implacable Man sent to retrieve the G-Virus and when possible brutalize the heroes Leon and Claire. Nemesis, a modified Tyrant from RE3 is not just The Brute, but The Juggernaut who bounces back from everything Jill throws at him. It took a specialised Railgun and then a few headshots from a magnum to put Nemmy down, and even then it’s implied he was still alive even after that, and it took Raccoon City being nuked to finish him. It appears that everyone’s favorite Umbrella Special Forces Operative HUNK is The Brute for the evil pharmaceutical company. In Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City demolition expert BELTWAY is The Brute for HUNK himself. Mendez for Saddler in RE4, and in the same game Jack Krauser is The Brute for Wesker. Brainwashed and Crazy Jill Valentine is this for Wesker in RE5, being used as an unthinking killing machine as well as serving emotional torment for Chris, Jill’s partner. Interestingly, thanks to some Bio-Augmentation Jill is nearly as superhuman as Wesker himself. Ustanak for Big Bad Simmons in RE6. In RE7, since Lucas fits better as The Dragon for Eveline, Jack fulfills this role being the first boss you face and the most relentless one. Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village is a rare female example. While most of the other humanoid bosses use some kind of gimmick or ability to give Ethan a hard time, Dimitrescu relies purely on her Statuesque Stunner strength and some Wolverine Claws to overpower Ethan with. Besides Lady D, the troll-like Lycans Uriaș and Uriaș Străjer are this overlapping with Giant Mook. |

Metal Gear: Vulcan Raven from Metal Gear Solid fits this in terms of appearance and group role: a huge man, all muscles, who goes into battle carrying a gatling gun, and eschews the schemes of the rest of the group. In personality he's a major subversion, being an intelligent Warrior Poet shaman, and possibly an Anti-Villain going by how he says he doesn't actually want to live in the sort of world being created by Liquid and The Patriots, and how he welcomes death, rejoicing in returning to "Mother Earth". Vamp from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty for Dead Cell, unlike other Metal Gear antagonists, has no greater ambition beyond creating chaos for the mad men he serves loyally, and being a Death Seeker he revels in all bloodshed having a whale of time fighting his Worthy Opponent Raiden. Like Raven, Vamp is also honorable, being disgusted with his fellow Dead Cell members disloyalty and he also questioned orders of Solidus Snake and Ocelot. The Pain in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, at over two meters tall he's the most imposing of the Cobra Unit, and his Pest Controller powers are gonna give anyone a rough time. Fat Bastard Cyborg Sundowner from Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance invokes this being by far the most brutish and unlikable of Desperado even though he's supposed to be The Dragon (a role Monsoon fits into better). You could make the argument Jetstream Sam (Raiden's Worthy Opponent) is more like The Brute despite being an Anti-Villain. The Man on Fire AKA an undead Colonel Volgin for Skull Face in Metal Gear Solid V. |

The trope shows up fairly often in the James Bond series. These actually often have a character filling the roles of both Dragon and Brute, emphasising the difference between the mental power of the Big Bad and the physical power of his chief henchman. Leaving aside the smart ones like Gobinda in Octopussy — who are pure Dragon — examples include: Red Grant in From Russia with Love, who is interesting in that he also has the most direct role in the action, and spawned similar characters like Kriegler in For Your Eyes Only, Necros in The Living Daylights, and Stamper in Tomorrow Never Dies. Oddjob in Goldfinger. Osato's car driver in You Only Live Twice, played by Peter Maivia, Dwayne Johnson's grandfather. He can endure several hits of sofa and punching him in the face is quite ineffective (much like Oddjob). He's also shown to be Ax-Crazy, as evidenced by his glee when he finds a katana and hacks at Bond with it. Grunther from On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Interestingly Bond never actually faces him in combat, that job falls to Tracy. Whisper in Live and Let Die is a near-silent henchman who is built much more stoutly than his Lean and Mean compatriots like Tee-Hee and Baron Samedi. Jaws in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. He has superhuman strength, can even kill a shark with his teeth, and is ungodly tough since he shrugs off whatever's thrown at him throughout both films. Eric Kriegler in For Your Eyes Only. Necros in The Living Daylights, depending on whether or not you consider Koskov to be The Dragon. He'd fit under the Genius Bruiser type. Braun in Licence to Kill is a large (6'3"), silent henchman for Franz Sanchez. Xenia Onatopp from Goldeneye is an interesting example; while she doesn't fit the physical archetype, her job specialty (she's brought in as a hitman) and personality cement her as such (she gets sexually enthused by violence). Stamper in Tomorrow Never Dies, also The Dragon. Bullion in The World Is Not Enough, who happens to overlap with The Mole. There's also Gabor, Elektra's bodyguard who is sent to kidnap M. Mr. Kil in Die Another Day. Hinx in Spectre. |

Vetto in Black Clover is the Eye of the Midnight Sun's physical powerhouse who loves fighting and killing. The Guidebook gives him a 5/5 in Brute Force. He's also not too bright having spent so much time buffed up with his Beast Magic, he had forgotten just how much of his supposed strength was due to it. His "strategy" of letting Asta stab him with the Demon-Dweller sword backfires immensely as a result. | |

Avengers: Infinity War: Cull Obsidian. He's the strongest and most physically imposing member of the Children of Thanos, being just as tall and muscular as the Hulk. He also seems to be the least intelligent among them, speaking only in unintelligible grunts and relying mostly on brute strength to win his fights. Ironically he's killed by plain old Doctor Bruce Banner instead of his big green alter ego who fittingly uses Cull's lack of smarts to defeat him. He returns in Avengers: Endgame thanks to Time Travel, but he's the first Children of Thanos to go down when Spider-Man and Ant-Man team up to crush him underfoot. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Abu Bakaar for The Ten Rings in Iron Man, he is a Fat Bastard who tortures Tony as well as killing and brutalizing poor villagers in Gulmira. Of course, he is also a coward as seen when Tony shows up in his Sunday best and he hides behind a wall only to brought out with a Barrier-Busting Blow. Ellen Brandt from Iron Man 3 is a rare female example. She acts as backup muscle for Eric Savin and shows a certain love for her work. Kurse in Thor: The Dark World, starting off as a normal dark elf after he uses the Kurse Stone; he's strong enough to back hand Mjölnir when Thor throws it at him and mercilessly kills Frigga earning the wrath of both her sons (Thor and Loki). It takes a black hole to kill him. Brock Rumlow from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, while at first he seems like a reliable ally to Cap; Rumlow reveals his true colors and allegiance to HYDRA halfway through the movie. While he doesn't pose any significant threat to Cap, to regular humans (like Sharon Carter and Falcon) he is extremely dangerous and uses cheap tactics to get an advantage. In Captain America: Civil War he becomes "Crossbones" and much more of a threat to Cap, able to knock him around with his Power Fist. Korath the Pursuer from Guardians of the Galaxy: Cyborg + Big Scary Black Man who works for Thanos then Ronan the Accuser who can get knocked down by shots that kill the Mooks and keep going. Korath is especially brutal to Peter Quill since "Star-Lord" got the jump on him at the start of the movie. Luckily for Quill, Drax takes issue with the cyborg "hurting his friend" and murders Korath when he attacks Quill. The Shocker (both versions of him) from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Unlike The Vulture, The Shocker(s) technology revolves around just punching and shooting electricity. Fenris from Thor: Ragnarok overlaps between this and Right-Hand Attack Dog. Notably she's the second villain to make the Hulk bleed since the Abomination in 2008. Avengers: Infinity War: Cull Obsidian. He's the strongest and most physically imposing member of the Children of Thanos, being just as tall and muscular as the Hulk. He also seems to be the least intelligent among them, speaking only in unintelligible grunts and relying mostly on brute strength to win his fights. Ironically he's killed by plain old Doctor Bruce Banner instead of his big green alter ego who fittingly uses Cull's lack of smarts to defeat him. He returns in Avengers: Endgame thanks to Time Travel, but he's the first Children of Thanos to go down when Spider-Man and Ant-Man team up to crush him underfoot. Bron-Char from Captain Marvel is The Brute of the Starforce; though he's actually softer-spoken than his build suggests, he's still brutal in combat. However, while he's strong, Bron-Char is effortlessly beaten by the title heroine in her Super Mode, being quite weaker than his comic counterpart. Razor Fist is a played with example in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. He has all the hallmarks of The Brute, he's massive, relies on his blade arm and gets his butt kicked by the eponymous hero to show off the latter's martial arts skill, except Razor Fist is actually quite intelligent and being able to Know When to Fold 'Em and even pulls a Enemy Mine. His role in the film is really closer to that of The Dragon to Xu Wenwu with Death Dealer, the seeming mute assassin who does nothing but fight, accurately fitting The Brute archetype. The Lizard in Spider-Man: No Way Home fulfills this role among the Alternate Universe Rogues Gallery. He's perfectly content to just be a savage monster who claws and bites the heroes, despite conversely possessing great intellect. Electro has shades of this himself as well, having less story importance than Doc Ock and Green Goblin but still more than happy to be a power-hungry thug who tries to kill Spidey all three versions of him, athough he does mellow out upon getting depowered. |

Fergal Bansha in Vampyr (2018) is a tall, bulky, dark grey-skinned vampire that serves as Lord Redgrave's muscle and strongest enforcer. While he is seen fighting barehanded against multiple opponents like most examples of this trope, he displays the unusual ability to summon a Living Shadow to fight alongside him. And in the true spirit of this trope, he is deemed completely expendable by his boss, who doesn't feel bad about his death at the The Hero's hands. | |

Hazel of the Temps Commission from The Umbrella Academy plays with this. He’s a big guy who is able to literally wrestle with Large and in Charge Luther but he’s actually a Hitman with a Heart and proves to be moral one compared to his partner Cha-Cha. Hazel pulls a Heel–Face Turn by the end of Season 1 and a Heroic Sacrifice at start of Season 2. Played straighter with the Swedes in Season 2, who simply rely on firepower and fisticuffs to try and kill the Hargreeves siblings, it doesn’t work. |

X-Men Film Series: Sabretooth to Magneto in X-Men, as he's the largest of the Brotherhood and uses brute force in his fights in contrast with his teammates Mystique and Toad who employ ambushes and acrobatics. Staff Sergeant Lyman to Stryker in X2: X-Men United and Brainwashed and Crazy Cyclops effectively becomes this. The Juggernaut from X-Men: The Last Stand is big and strong and expresses pleasure at being given an order to kill children. Riptide in X-Men: First Class, though he’s not as physical as Azazel. The younger William Stryker serves this role to Trask in X-Men: Days of Future Past though the Sentinels are more fitting of this trope. Angel plays this role in the Four Horsemen of the titular villain in X-Men: Apocalypse, especially since apart from Metallic Feather Projectiles, Flight and general brute strength he has absolutely no special powers and pales in comparison to other horsemen. |

In Yakuza 4, Takeshi Kido, even if he's not really that bad, since he's also the one that Taiga Saejima is up against. He's also very disrespected by his peers who think of him as a Dirty Coward even though he can wipe the floor with a bunch of Yakuza Members just because of his choice of clothing (making him look like a Mook than a proper boss or even a Mauve Shirt), though Saejima gives him some wisdom to Go Balls Out. Another character is Daisaku Minami, who's definitely this as the Lieutenant of Majima's Family. The closest thing to The Dragon that Majima has is his meek high ranking Lieutenant Nishida, who's doing A LOT for the boss, and is clearly held in higher favor than Minami. There's also Jiro Amon, who's strong and disrespected a lot (being called "girly" by Saejima), but wields a sledgehammer that explodes on impact. Takumi Midorikawa, despite being The Dragon in title (being the captain of the Hatsushiba Clan), is this in practice. |

In Yakuza 5, Masato Aizawa appears to be this, but to Kiryu's surprise and confusion (and even his own), He's the final boss of the game. In rank, he may be The Dragon, but Yahata is definitely this. Hotheaded and aggressive, Yahata fights Kiryu twice. He goes down in one hit later on, but that's because he's considerably injured. On a much smaller scale, Implacable Man Kanai is this for Naoki Katsuya, and also Akiyama's own final boss. |

Castlevania (2017): Godbrand from for Dracula's Army, being the least sophisticated, least intelligent and most gluttonously bloodthirsty Vampire General. Of course, Dracula easily perceives that Godbrand is a Paper Tiger the moment the latter attempts to confront him over the lack of available human blood. Godbrand doesn't even get to fight the heroes and is unceremoniously killed off by The Dragon Isaac. Dragoslav and Zufall, two other Vampire Generals, also fit this trope, being little thuggish Cannon Fodder for Trevor, Sypha and Alucard to effortlessly beat. The Amazonian Beauty Striga from Carmilla's Four Vampire sisters is definitely this. Most highlighted in Season 4 where she gets into a Scary Impractical Armor and wields a BFS and proves to be quite the One-Woman Army and The Berserker. Although she's an intelligent example and a Gentle Giant around her allies, namely her lover Morana. Dragan for Death in Season 4 makes the previous examples look like pushovers. He's a heavily armoured Vampire General wielding a dual mace chain, he single handedly gives Trevor, Alucard and Sypha their toughest fight since Dracula, and when Trevor hits his arm with his Holy Hand Grenade whip Morning Star, Dragan rips his arm off before he can explode and throws it at Trevor and Alucard, blowing them back. It takes a mighty Combination Attack from Alucard and Sypha to kill him. In terms of monsters the Minotaur seen in the Belmont Hold battle is certainly this. |

During the Nazi arc in Black Lagoon, Revy, having just come down from a bout of Whitman Fever, faces off against Fritz Stanford (or in the manga, Blitz Stanford), the biggest member of the Neo-Nazi Aryan Socialist Union. He carries a big-ass golden Luger Hand Cannon whose destructive power he shoots his mouth off about. This shooting off at the mouth gets him killed, as Revy spends the rant reloading her gun and then gunning him down mid-sentence. Normally she's The Dragon to Mr. Chang, but Shenhua arguably fills this role in the Bounty Hunter gang that Russel hires to go after Rock, Revy, and Eda in the Greenback Jane arc. She's tough, persistent, and a physical match for Revy (though not nearly as bright), and is a secondary threat when compared with Russel's lunatic Dragon, Claude Weaver. |

Berserk: Zondark for the Count, being one of the few humans bigger than Guts and twice as arrogant. After losing to the Anti-Hero he becomes a Pseudo-Apostle devolving into a mass of tentacles. In the Golden Age, Adon Coborlwitz is supposed to be this for the Tudor army but his brother Samson fills the role better as a mindless brute. In the Bakiraka the massive Spearman is clearly this, ironically he is killed by Judeah one of the shorter members of the Band of Hawk. Wyald appears to be this for Zodd being a brutish Killer Gorilla who loves to Rape, Pillage, and Burn. Despite his strength he is the first Apostle Guts defeats. Conrad, the huge, apparently mute member of the Godhand from He's almost psychopathically destructive (what with the whole, unleashing a plague thing) and seems to be lowest on the totem pole. The massive Apostle-beetle man who serves Rosine in the Lost Children arc counts as this, given he nearly chopped off Guts’s head with his pincers. The Angel Face to Mozgus, being literal Dumb Muscle with the face and IQ of a child, strong enough to give Guts a spectacular beating. In the New Band of Hawk, Grunbeld has this position as a huge Blood Knight, though his back story shows he is a Tragic Villain. Zodd probably fits the bill better as he holds the same position that Guts did for Griffith during the Golden Age. |

He's powerful enough that he's able to get his fellow Fist Demons and the other Rinjuken practitioners to follow along until he gets put in his place by Rio. In the end he's just the second Climax Boss. When the Genjuken enter the scene, the silent Suugu serves as this among them. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Female Cute Bruiser brute example in the form of Ty Lee. She's the only antagonist who doesn't have any Bending or weapon, instead she's a Bare-Fisted Monk who uses her martial skill to Chi-block Benders leaving them defenseless. She's also the Token Good Teammate for Azula and a Perky Female Minion to boot. Combustion Man. He's a large, silent Professional Killer and Implacable Man sent to go after the Avatar who doesn't have complete control of his explosive powers (that's why he has a metal arm and leg). The Boulder and The Big Bad Hippo; both are massive men and excellent earthbenders who primarily listen to their muscles and speak of themselves in the Third Person, with The Boulder speaking in the arrogant variety and The Big Bad Hippo in Hulk Speak: "Hippo mad!". Both of them make a Heel–Face Turn and participate in the attempted invasion of the Fire Nation on the Day of Black Sun. |

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising: Flak. He's big, tough and extremely dumb, to the point where one wonders just how he rose to be a CO in the first place. He also appears in Dual Strike, but has no role in the story. (His Limit Break is called "Brute Force".) His role as this is filled in the new Black Hole by Jugger, who has the exact same abilities as him. Jugger (at least when the CPU is controlling him) switches from this to Genius Bruiser when he uses his Super CO Power, which gives him a huge AI boost as well as an attack power boost. |

Halo: The Brutes (Species name: Jiralhanae), whom as a whole serve as this for the Covenant. One is pictured above without a helmet. They're scarier without helmets on! They're even worse if they're toting a Gravity Hammer. We also have Hunters (or Mgalekgolo), even BIGGER aliens with huge-ass shields and BFGs for hands. If they're not roaring at you and blowing you to bits with their weapons, they're roaring at you and bashing anything near them to bloody shredded ribbons and scrap metal. They are not Dumb Muscle though; in fact, they're damn near Genius Bruiser instead, thanks in part to the fact that they're ESSENTIALLY A GIANT COLONY OF MICROSCOPIC WORMS FITTED INTO STARSHIP-CLASS ARMOUR WITH A POWERFUL ENERGY CANNON STRAPPED TO THEIR ARM!!! |

Batman: Most incarnations of Killer Croc. When he was introduced in 1983, he was actually portrayed as a dangerously cunning Genius Bruiser with a chip on his shoulder, but as time went by, Flanderization set in as writers focused more and more exclusively on his brute strength at the expense of his other traits, and at his worst (around Batman: Hush), he was written as little more than a hungry animal. The introduction of Bane, another Genius Bruiser, rendered the original characterization of Croc redundant - few people remember that running Batman ragged and breaking his back was how Croc was introduced. The current in-universe explanation/retcon is that his mutation is degenerative, slowly making his brain more reptilian as well as his body. On the other hand, the Man-Bat, is usually just a near-mindless beast. |

In Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, which recreates the One Year War in better detail and slightly shifted perspective, Dozle isn't even a Brute, — his positive traits, evident even in the original, were really amplified in the Origin, making him more of a Hero Antagonist. So there he is rather a Gentle Giant, basically the only decent human being of his family bar Garma, a loving husband and a Doting Parent, who's just been born with the Face of a Thug. Moreover, even in his military capacity, he's an Officer and a Gentleman, A Father to His Men and a Genius Bruiser. | |

Kaeloo gives us a variant with Mr. Cat. He isn't big or dumb, but he has a massive wealth of athletic skills and physical strength (and an impressive arsenal of weapons), and is very short tempered. Long story short, you don't want to mess with him. | |

Tarkus from Phantom Blood is the biggest and physically strongest of Dio's zombie army, and, alongside Bruford and Dio, one of the few characters able to give Jonathan an even fight. And unlike most examples, he's actually quite intelligent. | |

Transformers: Prime: Breakdown, in an interesting departure from his usual role. He's not especially unintelligent, though; he simply prefers to leave the more cerebral matters to his partner Knock Out, while letting his missile launchers and giant hammer do the talking for him. Both Skyquake and Dreadwing, two brothers who are loyal to Megatron and use heavy weapons, can count (although Dreadwing become The Dragon after his initial appearance, and is actually a Genius Bruiser). Hardshell, an Insecticon with a personality and voice now serves this role. Well, he used to, then he got hit with a bunch of missiles from the Jackhammer and is dead now. Season 3 introduces the new Predaking. A massive ancient Draconic Cybertronian beast revived by Shockwave to hunt the now scattered Autobots. Powerful enough to through around both Wheeljack and Bulkhead and durable enough to barely notice a grenade going off underneath it and only slowed down being crushed by a mine falling on its head. Later he reveals that he is capable of transformation. When he speaks for the first time he reveals a rather eloquent and almost tragic side, being alone and unsure of his destiny. Megatron is not pleased to discover that his new "Brute" is actually a Genius Bruiser capable of overthrowing him if he so chose. Skylynx and Darksteel play this role in Predacons Rising. |

Neptunia: Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2: Among the Four Felons, Judge The Hard/CFW Judge is always Ax-Crazy and he is an Omnicidal Maniac and a Blood Knight. He is also the very first opponent the player has to face. Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory: Copyliace/Copypaste and Magiquone/Arfoire fit this role, since they are the main fighters of the Seven Sages. Copyliace is a Boisterous Bruiser and a Dumb Muscle who thinks he is the strongest and loves destroying stuff, while Magiquone has a violent Hair-Trigger Temper and she thinks Murder Is the Best Solution. |

The Indiana Jones films are fond of the villains having one henchmen who's physically intimidating, and who Indy usually fights right before his confrontation with the Big Bad. Raiders of the Lost Ark has the unnamed buff Nazi plane mechanic who Indy gets into a fist fight with. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has the gigantic and suitably violent Thuggee chief guard, who's even played by the same guy as the mechanic above and who also gets into a battle of fisticuffs with Indy midway through. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has Nazi Colonel Vogel (also The Dragon), who acts as the main enforcer for the movie's Big Bad Duumvirate and the most consistent physical threat to Indy, as well as the antagonist he goes up against the most in the film. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has Colonel Dovchenko, who basically fulfills the same role as Vogel up there (that being a physically intimidating Colonel who Indy has multiple confrontations with). |

Gundam: Prince Dozle Zabi from Mobile Suit Gundam. Noticeably, he was a 7 ft tall Genius Bruiser (meaning, he was no dumbass) made of pure badass who led his troops heroically in the Battle of Solomon. In Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, which recreates the One Year War in better detail and slightly shifted perspective, Dozle isn't even a Brute, — his positive traits, evident even in the original, were really amplified in the Origin, making him more of a Hero Antagonist. So there he is rather a Gentle Giant, basically the only decent human being of his family bar Garma, a loving husband and a Doting Parent, who's just been born with the Face of a Thug. Moreover, even in his military capacity, he's an Officer and a Gentleman, A Father to His Men and a Genius Bruiser. Depending on who you ask, either Dearka Elsman or Yzak Joule is Le Creuset's Brute during the first half of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. Dearka eventually pulls a Heel–Face Turn, while Yzak upgrades to The Dragon. The Earth Forces have a Brute squad, composed of Slave Mooks Shani Andras, Orga Sabnak, and Clotho Bauer, who provide Azrael with expendable muscle but little else. In Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny, Auel of the Extended team, and Shinn Asuka comes very close to fulfilling this role hierarchically and personality-wise for the ZAFT team, despite being equal to, or better than, Rey The Dragon, in combat. Shinn is an unusual case in that he's the protagonist and doesn't realize until after ZAFT's defeat that he had been manipulated into fighting for the wrong side. In Mobile Suit Gundam 00, Michael Trinity in the first season, although his role his cut short when Ali double crosses him and his siblings and murders them. Depending on how you look at it, Graham Aker and/or Soma Preies may fulfill this role for the A-Laws in Season 2; Bring Stability, Divine Nova, or (female example) Hilling Care may be The Brutes for the Innovators. Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: In the Second Generation, following his younger brother, Zeheart's promotion to The Dragon, Decil Galette, ex-Enfant Terrible/Child Soldier and current Psycho for Hire & Sociopathic Soldier takes on this role for Vagan's forces, functioning as the high command's attack dog. As the former main villain of the First Generation, and a continuing power player in the Vagan ranks, he's one of the most prominent, and well-developed examples of this in the franchise. Decil is modelled on Yazan Gable of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, a thuggish, violent Blood Knight who served as a Hero Killer and Ace Pilot for Paptimus Scirocco. Incredibly dangerous, and with no interest in his superior's politics, Yazan is an example of a very capable Brute rather than The Dragon, and his feral cunning allowed him to cut a swathe through the AEUG's ranks, despite his total lack of Psychic Powers. Before Decil, Yazan had another expy in Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ's Rakan Dahkaran, a Badass Normal Colonel Kilgore who favoured Lightning Bruiser type mobile suits and served as the muscle for first Haman Khan and later Glemmy Toto. Cold and unemotional, Rakan loves his work nonetheless, and acts as a very capable physical threat to the heroes, while Glemmy and his Dragon Ple-2 lead the army. In Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack Char Aznable picks up a rare female Brute in Rezun Schneider, a Distaff Counterpart to Yazan and Rakan with the personality to match. She's a badass Oldtype Dark Action Girl with a preference for fast, heavy mobile suits, a staggering Lack of Empathy, and the personality of the most overbearing bitch imaginable. Angelo Sauper in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn is a straightforward Brute in terms of characterisation, but not in appearance. Instead, he's a Sissy Villain and Flamboyant Gay head over heels for his boss Full Frontal, and his main beef with the heroes is that they don't share the vision of his beloved boss. Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans has Ein Dalton, after he gets injured and has his body hooked up to the colossal Graze Ein mobile suit. The second season has Iok Kujan, who fills this role by default since he's too stupid to be a proper Dragon and prefers to just blindly attack things instead of coming up with a proper strategy. |

The Lizard in Spider-Man: No Way Home fulfills this role among the Alternate Universe Rogues Gallery. He's perfectly content to just be a savage monster who claws and bites the heroes, despite conversely possessing great intellect. Electro has shades of this himself as well, having less story importance than Doc Ock and Green Goblin but still more than happy to be a power-hungry thug who tries to kill Spidey all three versions of him, athough he does mellow out upon getting depowered. | |

DC Extended Universe: Man of Steel: During the Battle of Smallville, Faora is accompanied by Nam-Ek, a fellow Kryptonian warrior. The difference between the two is that Nam-Ek's nine feet tall and encased in armor. He noticeably matched Superman in strength while Faora The Dragon focused on speed and skill, despite his clear usefulness Nam-Ek disappears completely in the Final Battle. Doomsday from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the opening of Zack Snyder's Justice League is an "ancient Kryptonian deformity" upwards of 15 feet tall who is created by Lex Luthor as a last trump card against Superman. Doomsday reacts to everything with animalistic rage, sends Superman and Wonder Woman sprawling with every punch, overpowers Superman's heat vision, can survive being hit with a nuke, and was generally considered too dangerous to even exist by the Kryptonian genetic council. Incubus to The Enchantress in Suicide Squad (2016). Also The Dragon. Black Manta to Orm in Aquaman though it's clear by the end of the film, he's become the up in coming Big Bad in his own right. |

Requiem Vampire Knight features a textbook example and the other not-so-much: Attila the Hun serves Dracula his fleet admiral and is exceptionally large for a vampire. He is also not very bright either and tries to have the main protagonist killed for being a degenerate that displays honor and chivalry - which are taboo in the world they live in. Thurim is a very unconventional example compared to Attila, since he has a rather lean-build instead of looking like a brutish fiend. With that said, he fits the trope nicely, acting as muscle powerhouse for the conspirators that seeking to overthrow Dracula and he certainly has a fitting personality to match. For bonus points, he wields a magic warhammer in combat. |

Metal Heroes: Kyojuu Tokusou Juspion: Ikki is muscular space warrior who fights purely with his own super strength and acts this among the Four Deva Kings. Jikuu Senshi Spielban has General Deathzero, a missile-like Killer Robot and Frontline General who commands the Waller Empire's army and is the one who battles Spielban most often. Chōjinki Metalder: The Neros Empire has many Brutes among its ranks and each of its four armies has at least one warrior geared towards purely strength-based combat. The Armament Army in particular is essentially an entire team of Brutes, being comprised of heavy arsenal robots. Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya: Retsukiba's role among the Sorcerers Clan is this. He's not the strongest ninja in the series, but in most episodes his role is just to hassle Jiraiya or carry out hits. Kidou Keiji Jiban has Mad Garbo, a humanoid Bioweapon Beast designed to take down Jiban by thrashing him until he breaks. B-Fighter Kabuto: Dezzle serves as this among the Melzard Tribe, particularly after he gets a Mid-Season Upgrade that makes his shell more durable. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Ser Gregor Clegane (AKA "The Mountain that Rides") is this to a T. He's not on any inner circle, in part because he's too psychotic for that, and because Lord Tywin Lannister doesn't really keep an inner circle, (he has one or two people he genuinely consults with such as his brother Kevan, the rest are dupes that he manipulates) however he is Tywin's choice for virtually all of the dirty and bloody work that needs to be done, and shows real taste for and skill at it. He's also the World's Strongest Man and the physically largest human seen so far (almost 8’0� tall), and will gleefully show it off. Similarly, Victarion Greyjoy is this for House Greyjoy. They also make an interesting comparison, as they are two very different characters who fall under the same trope type; while Clegane is a vicious and amoral sadist, Victarion is The Fettered, believing wholeheartedly in the grim, Even Evil Has Standards code of honor that the Iron Men share. Shagga son of Dolf serves as a Boisterous Bruiser style Brute to Tyrion, doing most of his dirty work, while Tyrion and Bronn keep their hands relatively clean. Timmett son of Timmett is somewhere between this and a second Dragon. Ser Amory Lorch is a far less impressive Brute for the Lannisters - he's essentially nothing more than an idiotic thug, lacking Gregor Clegane's Super-Strength and fear factor. His only conceivably useful quality is his utter ruthlessness. |

One Piece has had quite a few and more than a couple overlap with The Dragon. Alvida "Arc": Heppoko to Alvida. Buggy the Clown Arc: The Superhuman Domingos to Buggy. Mohji counts too. Captain Kuro Arc: Buchi to Kuro. Baratie Arc: Pearl to Don Krieg. Arlong Park Arc: Kuroobi to Arlong. Though since Hatchan The Dragon is pretty harmless as a villain, Kuroobi arguably does that role better. Loguetown Arc: Cabaji & Mohji, who used to be Co-Dragons to Buggy. Whiskey Peak Arc: Ms. Monday to Mr. 5. Little Garden Arc: Mr. 5 to Mr. 3. Alabasta Arc: Mr. 4 & Ms. Merry Christmas to Mr. 0. Jaya Island Arc: Ross to Bellamy. Skypiea Arc: Yama to Enel. Davy Back Fight Arc: Big Pan to Foxy. Water 7 Arc: The Kariki Destroyers to Franky. Enies Lobby Arc: Blueno, Fukuro, Kumadori, Jabra and to a lesser degree, Oimo and Kashii to Spandam/Rob Lucci. Thriller Bark Arc: Ryuuma and Absalom to Gecko Moria. Sabaody Archipelago Arc: Sentomaru to the Tenryubitto As well as a Dragon to Admiral Kizaru. Amazon Lily Arc: Bacura to Boa Hancock, Boa Marigold also fits this role. Impel Down Arc: The Demon Guards & The Bluegori to Magellan. Marineford Arc: Either Admiral Kizaru and to a lesser degree The Giant Squad to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, or Jesus Burgress, Vasco Shot and San Juan Wolf to Blackbeard. Return to Sabaody Arc: The fake Sogeking to the fake Luffy/Demalo Black. Of the named bounty heads recruited, Caribou and Coribou. And The Starscreams, too. Fishman Island Arc: Ikaros Much and Dosun to Hordy Jones. Wadatsumi pulls double-duty as both The Brute and The Dragon to Vander Decken IX. Punk Hazard Arc: Vice-Admiral Vergo to Doflamingo. In fact, in some translations his Red Baron is "The Brute". Dressrosa Arc: Pica and Machvise to again, Domflamingo. Zou Arc: Jack to Kaido, and Sheepshead is The Brute to Jack himself. We learn later in Wano Jack is below King and Queen, being outright Dumb Muscle in comparison. Big Mom has quite a few as their her sons: Cracker seems to be the embodiment of the trope before he reveals he is much smaller but no less powerful man in a self-made biscuit suit. Daifuku, who unlike his other brothers who possess redeeming traits, is just an arrogant violent asshole who lets his genie do the fighting for him; and the genie is just as brutish, slicing up an entire fleet of battleships (which were on his side) just to kill Carrot. Oven is very much this as well, attacking his own sister when he knows she's a traitor and is completely relentless when it come to the heroes, using his heat powers to boil them when they escape across the ocean. Counter and Cadenza, while fairly minor thugs, successfully knock Luffy out cold. In Wano Arc: Urashima for Kaido's Headliners. Page One for the Flying Six. Just like DBZ the One Piece movies have a ton of brutes: Boo Jack from Clockwork Island Adventure. Hot Dog from Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals. Boo Kong from The Cursed Holy Sword. Kotetsu from Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island. Honki from The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle. Scarlet from One Piece Film: Strong World. Binz from One Piece Film: Z. Dice from One Piece Film: Gold. |

Warduke from France Five is very much the physical fighter, and gives a good run for their money to all five heroes when he gets serious. His role in the story is closer to The Dragon, though, as he commands each Monster of the Week. It's only after his demise that we're introduced to the proper Dragon Zakaral. | |

Ajax and Diomedes serve this role for the Greeks in The Iliad. They are out ranked by Agamemnon and Menelaus, but are probably the two most dangerous Greeks in the Trojan war (other than Odysseus, who was a Guile Hero). Diomedes was known as The Dreaded by the Trojans for injuring gods when he got bored of murdering their forces! Sarpedon fills the role for the Trojans. | |

Vulcan Raven from Metal Gear Solid fits this in terms of appearance and group role: a huge man, all muscles, who goes into battle carrying a gatling gun, and eschews the schemes of the rest of the group. In personality he's a major subversion, being an intelligent Warrior Poet shaman, and possibly an Anti-Villain going by how he says he doesn't actually want to live in the sort of world being created by Liquid and The Patriots, and how he welcomes death, rejoicing in returning to "Mother Earth". | |

God of War; Even though Hades is usually portrayed as a Big Bad in fiction, God of War III portrays him as The Brute. He relies more on hitting Kratos with his chain blade things than anything else, and his second form relies on NASTY physical attacks. Hercules in the same game also qualifies, since he uses exclusively brute strength in combat with his Nemean Cestus, and later his bare hands after his weapons are taken from him. In Olympus' chain of command, he ranks as Hera's champion below Poseidon, Hades and Helios. Magni and Modi in God of War (PS4) are a pair of Aesir brothers that confront Kratos and Atreus. Despite being sons of Thor, they are minor deities that serves as muscle to Odin and of the two, Magni fits the trope better being extremely tall, bulky and wielding a BFS. He also gets on hell of an Establishing Character Moment when he drops in front of the heroes struggling with an ogre, only to snap its neck and casually throw its carcass with one hand. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Yu-Gi-Oh!: Varon/Valon from the Dartz arc in favours an Armour deck, attacks his opponents himself, and is extremely violent. By contrast, Rafael serves as The Dragon while Amelda/Alister is more of a schemer. Ota/Nezbitt uses a Machine deck based on brute firepower. He takes three people at once and his main schtick is inflicting as much damage as possible without planning ahead. During the duel against Yugi and Jonouchi, Ota is the only member of the Big Five to fall for Yugi's bluff while the other four members don't. In the Duelist Kingdom arc, Player Killer of Darkness/PaniK is The Brute to the rest of Pegasus' eliminators. A gigantic man with a sadistic streak, the Player Killer of Darkness gets a real kick out of tormenting opposing players, but is really a coward at heart. He uses flamethrowers (or, in the manga, a spring-loaded garrote built into the dueling platform) to disorient his opponents, and after losing to Yami Yugi, actually tries to kill him. It's implied rather strongly that he's actually a very bad Duelist, and relies on psyching his opponents into making mistakes to stand a chance against foes above his weight class like Mai Kujaku. When he realizes this won't work on Yugi, he has a Villainous Breakdown. Bandit Keith Howard is essentially a Brute who got away, having the personality, but being loyal to no one but himself. Among his henchmen, Dumb Muscle Satake/Zygor could also be seen as a Brute-ish type. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Paradox is the Big Bad of the movie, Yu-Gi-Oh!: Bonds Beyond Time, but he turns out to be one of the many servants of Z-One and a member of Yliaster. He prefers simple beatdown strategies where he turbos out high ATK monsters while everyone else in the organization uses more complex strategies to lock down the opponent's plays. In terms of scheming, his plan to fix the Bad Future is to quickly annihilate a city block to kill Pegasus, the inventor of Duel Monsters, while the rest of Yliaster hatches a ridiculously complex and long scheme to destroy Neo Domino city with the remains of the same city from the future. Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: Among the Seven Barian Emperors, Girag and Alito are essentially the Brutes of the group, but they also serve as subversions. Girag has the build and appearance of a Brute, being very tall and muscular, but he prefers brainwashing people over direct confrontations because he's too afraid of the consequences of losing. He's not dumb per se, but his schemes can't compare to the likes of Vector. His deck is also very defensive, and while his Signature Mon is gigantic, it's also has the lowest stats out of the seven. By contrast, Alito is very confrontational and prefers to face his opponent face-to-face and is disgusted by Girag's cowardly tactics, and has a very strong sense of honor, which differs from a normal Brute. However, Alito's deck is focused primarily on Battle Phase effects, reflecting his Blood Knight nature. He's also a boxer and he likes to throw hands with his best friend Girag, showing that the two are physically evenly matched. Alito also duels against Yuma the most and he has in fact more on-screen duels than the other six Barian Emperors (from a certain point of view). |

Darkest Dungeon: The Swine King (or Prince/God depending on level) is a Brute boss. The result of botched summoning rituals that bound an entity from Beyond into a boar, the Swine King is a giant, seemingly blind killing machine that the Ancestor describes as "brutish and stupid". It needs another pig, a small but smart creature called Wilbur, to direct its attacks; if Wilbur dies, the King loses all restraint and starts just trying to crush the entire party at once with his giant butcher's cleaver. Notably, Wilbur is the only gimmick to the entire fight; the King is otherwise just a slab of ill-tempered, demon-possessed meat. | |

Wild Rhona, the protagonist in A Harvest of War, almost seven feet tall and over 300lbs of solid muscle. She's fast and smart for this trope and on the good guys' side to boot, but her mean streak is so wide that, together with the even heavier and less vicious Baindur, it pushes her into this trope. Baroness Shelby is a straighter example, if much smaller and also not lacking in brains, skill and agility. |

Bane in Batman & Robin is a clear example. While he's dangerously intelligent in the comics, film-Bane is an incoherent muscle-bound moron. The Dark Knight Rises corrects this; he becomes a Genius Bruiser, though he still actually fits the role — whether or not you believe that he's serving directly under Talia, he is still part of an evil team with her and serves as her muscle. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Tarkus from Phantom Blood is the biggest and physically strongest of Dio's zombie army, and, alongside Bruford and Dio, one of the few characters able to give Jonathan an even fight. And unlike most examples, he's actually quite intelligent. Santana from Battle Tendency is the least talkative of the Pillar Men, and the only one who relies almost completely on his brute strength. This is rather justified, as Joseph fights him almost immediately after he's woken up and he's still adjusting to the new world. Secco from Golden Wind has enough physical strength via his Stand to go toe-to-toe with Bucciarati, but he's rather lacking in intelligence. That is, until it's revealed to be an act. |

Ultra Series: The Red King in Ultraman. It doesn't have any special powers like most of the other kaiju in the series, instead it relies solely on its tremendous physical strength to pound others into submission. Also appearing in Ultraman is Zetton, which was tough enough to No-Sell just about every attack Ultraman threw at it. It's gone on to become one of the most feared kaiju among Ultras (and one of the most iconic in the series) because of this. Return of Ultraman introduces Black King, a tough monster with exceptionally durable skin that acts as muscle for Alien Nackle. Doragory, introduced in Ultraman Ace, is a super strong Choju with an especially merciless fighting style. At the time of its debut it was one of the strongest opponents Ace had gone up against. Ultraman Mebius: Grozam is this for the Dark Four Heavenly Kings. Instead of coming up with an intricate scheme to defeat Mebius, Grozam opts to just face him in a one-on-one battle and beat him with brute force. |

Game of Thrones: Gregor and Sandor Clegane are simply muscle for their masters, exerting no political influence in Westeros except with the point of their swords. However, Sandor's Screw This, I'm Outta Here at the Battle of Blackwater has put an end to this for him. The Smalljon is described as "a massive bear of a man with a temper to match" and he serves as Ramsay's muscle in his forces. Rorge within the Lannister army. He doesn't appear especially intelligent, and is prone to aggressive threats uttered in a vicious snarl. |

Transformers Film Series: Blackout could count seeing as he's the most heavily armed character and the largest one in the original movie. Brawl might also qualify. He is the most heavily-armed Decepticon and the toughest one to kill. It took the combined efforts of the human military and all four non-Optimus Prime Autobots to finally put him down for the count. His alt mode is a literal tank. In the second film, Grindor (who is identical to Blackout but is even larger than him) acts as this during the 3-on-1 battle in the forest while in the final battle, the role clearly belongs to Devastator. Demolisher could count due to his large size and that he just uses his weight instead of a weapon. Shockwave's Driller in the third film. While he is shorter than the Big Bad Scourge, Battletrap in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts acts in this manner due to his bulky frame and his weapon of choice being a wrecking ball and heavy cannon. Fittingly, during the final battle it takes both Optimus Prime and Primal to take him down. |

Spider-Man Rhino in has generally been portrayed this way. His Dumb Muscle personality was even used in a Homage to Flowers for Algernon where he briefly became smarter. Subverted in the Ultimate Spider-Man (2005) game, where Rhino is a geeky genius in a robotic Suit who only speaks Latin until he's defeated. Among The Sinister Six, Sandman and Kraven also fulfill this trope. Scorpion frequently serves as The Brute for the Sinister Six and later the Dark Avengers. Venom becomes this for the Sinister Six, as well as for the Revengers as Anti-Venom. |

Osato's car driver in You Only Live Twice, played by Peter Maivia, Dwayne Johnson's grandfather. He can endure several hits of sofa and punching him in the face is quite ineffective (much like Oddjob).

Super Sentai has a fair share of brutes within its evil groups. Most of the time, at least one villain per group fits the role of brute. More often than not, these characters are portrayed by People in Rubber Suits, as opposed to more sophisticated villains, who are often more recognizable as humans. The earliest example is Iron Man Mask General Temujin in Himitsu Sentai Gorenger, the second of the Black Cross Führer's Co-Dragons, a Tin Tyrant and Genius Bruiser clad in thick armor that makes him virtually indestructible. Battle Fever J's Salome is a rare female example, a Dark Action Girl with tremendous physical strength (helped by her being played a Pro-Wrestler) capable of manhandling each member of Team Battle Fever in battle. Denshi Sentai Denziman gives us Demon King Banriki, who a musclebound warrior who sided with the Vader with hopes of fighting the Denziman, and ended up becoming the Final Boss. Taiyou Sentai Sun Vulcan has another rare female example: Amazon Killer, a vicious and powerful female warrior who's capable of taking on all three members of Sun Vulcan. Also an expert spy and Genius Bruiser at times. Dai Sentai Goggle Five has General Deathgiller. Since he's also the primary enforcer of Deathdark, and since they don't have much other muscle available, he's the guy who gets sent in when they need extra force for an operation. Kagaku Sentai Dynaman: The Jashinka didn't really have a member whose main forte was being super strong. The closest would be the Hot-Blooded Prince Megiddo, who leads their forces into battle. Choudenshi Bioman has Monster, whom Doctor Man even admits he made just to be his Dumb Muscle. Dengeki Sentai Changeman has Adjutant Booba, a brutish Space Pirate working as muscle for the Gozma. Choushinsei Flashman, has Ley Galzus, a mute bruiser created by the Mess. After his death, Ley Wandar was forced to take this role. Commander Baraba from Hikari Sentai Maskman is a proud, tough warrior who serves as the army commander of Tube. Choujuu Sentai Liveman has Dr Obular, the only member of Volt to give himself a permanent monster form. Later on Volt receives a second Brute when Doctor Ashura, a tough gang leader whom Bias modified to be an even stronger Genius Bruiser, is brought in and slowly squeezes Obular out. Gash seems like he'd be a third Brute, but he's actually Bias's true Dragon and co-conspirator. Kousoku Sentai Turboranger has the zombie Samurai Dark Boma Zimba. Once he, Jarmin, and Lehda are offed, Yamimaru combines this role with The Dragon. Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman has Galactic Swordsman Billion, a Master Swordsman who lives purely for the thrill of fighting (and for sake). Choujin Sentai Jetman has Grey, The Rival of Black Condor and the Vyram member who battles the Jetmen most often.. Grifforzer from Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger plays this trope straight at first, being portrayed as a monstrous beast, incapable of human language. Later on, he does get a voice, which sounds very sophisticated, downplaying this trope. Major Zydos from Gosei Sentai Dairanger. He's the muscles of the Terrible Trio. Ninja Sentai Kakuranger has Daidarobatchi, the Big Bad's brother and most imposing general. However, he only lasts for one episode. Chouriki Sentai Ohranger has Bomber the Great, The Starscream and military officer of The Empire. Gekisou Sentai Carranger has Deputy Leader Zelmoda. Despite being number two to Gynamo, he's more the Dumb Muscle of the Bozwocks rather than a proper second-in-command. Denji Sentai Megaranger has Commander Yugande, Neziregia's field commander and resident Blood Knight. Guirail might count as well since he's the most bloodthirsty member of Nezirejia. Seijuu Sentai Gingaman has Boss Gun General Sambash. The Hot-Blooded first second-in-command of the Big Bad. He's also The Don of the Sambash Majin Gang (first set of monsters) and the first Arc Villain. He's replaced by Destruction King Battobas during the second half of the show. The latter is a powerful warlord relying on both strength and tactics. Kyūkyū Sentai GoGoV has Beast Baron Cobolda, the general who relies on pure strength rather than strategy. Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger has Highness Duke Org Shuten, the first Arc Villain with an axe. Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger has Second Spear, Chuuzubo, a burly ninja who fights with brute force attacks and by swinging a big stick. After his exit, Fifth Spear, Sargain and Sixth Spear, Satarakura pass the role between each other. Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger has the Evolian Armor of Darkness, or whoever is wearing it, as it bestows its wearer with increased strength at the cost of making them more violent. Of its wearers, Geildon fits the temperament the best. Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger: Quite a few of the Alienizers are very strong and several act as muscle for other Alienizers, such as Bon Goblin Hell for the Hells Siblings and Ganymede for Abrella in his Elite Four. Branken from Mahou Sentai Magiranger. He's the most hot-headed of the villains, and the only character in a magic-themed series to rely on a BFS rather than spells. He'd also qualify for Disc-One Final Boss if N Ma hadn't been present, if trapped, from the beginning. GoGo Sentai Boukenger has Yaiba of Darkness and Great Beast Rei. When the series begins, Yaiba is a very strong villain, second only in the series to Ryuuwon. Later, Rei shows up, one-upping Yaiba alongside Gai, proving himself a brutish member of the Ashu Tribe who loves a good fight. Juken Sentai Gekiranger has Land Fist Demon Maku, although he'd like to be the Big Bad. He's powerful enough that he's able to get his fellow Fist Demons and the other Rinjuken practitioners to follow along until he gets put in his place by Rio. In the end he's just the second Climax Boss. When the Genjuken enter the scene, the silent Suugu serves as this among them. Engine Sentai Go-onger has Land Pollution Minister Yogostein, the Disc-One Final Boss. Samurai Sentai Shinkenger has Juzo Fuwa, who lives for little else other than fighting and killing. Tensou Sentai Goseiger: Both Dereputa of the Meteor and Kinggon of the Bigfoot were the muscle of their respective factions. Interestingly, both had close relationships with the leaders of their factions. Robogog later brings back Buredoran as a Cyborg so he can serve as his brute, but he underestimates Buredoran's cunning. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger has Special Duty Officer Barizorg, whose main role is to bodyguard Warz Gill. Tokumei Sentai Go Busters: Escape is another rare female example. While her co-dragon Enter plans the operations, Escape is the one who provides force for them. Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger has Sorrowful Knight Aigaron. Despite being the sadness-themed knight and crying much of the time, he was capable of channeling his sorrow make himself much more powerful in battle. Later on, the former Dragon Dogold ended up getting bumped down to here after being kowtowed by Endolf and shocked into submission. Ressha Sentai Toqger has General Schwartz who is also the Evil Genius of the Shadow Line. Shuriken Sentai Ninninger has tough warrior Raizo Gabi. Later on there was Mangetsu Kibaoni, the son of the Big Bad. Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger has Azald, a bulky team leader who prefers physical pain. Uchu Sentai Kyuranger has Kukuruga, the bulkiest of the Vice Shoguns. Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger has Destra Majjo, Dogranio Yaboon's bodyguard. Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger has the bulky Tankjoh in the beginning. This role later gets passed to Gacchireus when he arrives and later the Gunjoji Twins after they're created. Mashin Sentai Kiramager has Galza. He's a Genius Bruiser, but he's the one who takes the field whenever extra muscle is needed against the Kiramagers Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger has Barashitara, the Frontline General of Tozitend and Isao Goshikida/Hakaizer, the enforcer protecting the Monster of the Week . Avataro Sentai Donbrothers has Sonoza, the muscles of the Noto's Terrible Trio. |

The Beginning After the End: Out of all the Scythes, Dragoth Vritra fits the bill. He is described as physically the largest among them with a hulking frame and long broad horns.

Berserker/Hercules from Fate/stay night. Actually, pretty much any "Berserker" class Servant. The class drives them completely insane so they really can't do anything other than Attack! Attack! Attack!, but to make up for it, their physical strength, speed, toughness, etc all get a massive boost (and Servants are almost always very, very strong to begin with). | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Orks are an entire species devoted to this trope, being genetically engineered for nothing but war. They're also the comic relief. Among followers of Chaos, Khornates are this, living only to get into close combat and chop heads (until they get theirs chopped). Surprisingly enough, the setting's ogres (called Ogryn) are actually an aversion, having childlike personalities and devotion to the God-Emperor. Getting them to fight for Chaos doesn't require temptation or corruption like other humans, just telling them the Emperor is angry at the loyalists. |

Doomsday from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the opening of Zack Snyder's Justice League is an "ancient Kryptonian deformity" upwards of 15 feet tall who is created by Lex Luthor as a last trump card against Superman. Doomsday reacts to everything with animalistic rage, sends Superman and Wonder Woman sprawling with every punch, overpowers Superman's heat vision, can survive being hit with a nuke, and was generally considered too dangerous to even exist by the Kryptonian genetic council. | |

Magni and Modi in God of War (PS4) are a pair of Aesir brothers that confront Kratos and Atreus. Despite being sons of Thor, they are minor deities that serves as muscle to Odin and of the two, Magni fits the trope better being extremely tall, bulky and wielding a BFS. He also gets on hell of an Establishing Character Moment when he drops in front of the heroes struggling with an ogre, only to snap its neck and casually throw its carcass with one hand. | |

Godbrand from for Dracula's Army, being the least sophisticated, least intelligent and most gluttonously bloodthirsty Vampire General. Of course, Dracula easily perceives that Godbrand is a Paper Tiger the moment the latter attempts to confront him over the lack of available human blood. Godbrand doesn't even get to fight the heroes and is unceremoniously killed off by The Dragon Isaac. Dragoslav and Zufall, two other Vampire Generals, also fit this trope, being little thuggish Cannon Fodder for Trevor, Sypha and Alucard to effortlessly beat. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: Varon/Valon from the Dartz arc in favours an Armour deck, attacks his opponents himself, and is extremely violent. By contrast, Rafael serves as The Dragon while Amelda/Alister is more of a schemer. Ota/Nezbitt uses a Machine deck based on brute firepower. He takes three people at once and his main schtick is inflicting as much damage as possible without planning ahead. During the duel against Yugi and Jonouchi, Ota is the only member of the Big Five to fall for Yugi's bluff while the other four members don't. In the Duelist Kingdom arc, Player Killer of Darkness/PaniK is The Brute to the rest of Pegasus' eliminators. A gigantic man with a sadistic streak, the Player Killer of Darkness gets a real kick out of tormenting opposing players, but is really a coward at heart. He uses flamethrowers (or, in the manga, a spring-loaded garrote built into the dueling platform) to disorient his opponents, and after losing to Yami Yugi, actually tries to kill him. It's implied rather strongly that he's actually a very bad Duelist, and relies on psyching his opponents into making mistakes to stand a chance against foes above his weight class like Mai Kujaku. When he realizes this won't work on Yugi, he has a Villainous Breakdown. Bandit Keith Howard is essentially a Brute who got away, having the personality, but being loyal to no one but himself. Among his henchmen, Dumb Muscle Satake/Zygor could also be seen as a Brute-ish type. |

Criminal Minds normally features solo killers, but has occasionally featured groups large enough to include a Brute. Vincent "Vinny" Perotta, UnSub of Season 1's "Natural Born Killer", is a six and a half foot tall mafia hitman, who moonlights as a Serial Killer, and has a thing for gruesomely dismembering his victims. Profiled with antisocial and paranoid personality disorders, Vinny's too unstable to take part in the day-to-day operations of Michael Russo's mob outfit and sits outside the regular chain of command, holding no official position or authority over their underlings, but taking orders from Russo and Russo alone. Leon, from Season 6's "Supply & Demand" is a hulking giant strong enough to stomp Morgan in hand to hand combat, and large enough that one of his hands can wrap all the way around a victim's throat. Subordinate to human trafficking ring leader Lucy, and her Number Two, Max, Leon serves as the group's thug, transporting victims to and from cages, brutalizing them while the others (or paying customers) look on, and killing them when there's no further use for them, or an especially depraved customer wants to watch someone die. |

Dragon Ball: Major Metallitron, the Red Ribbon Android enforcer from Muscle Tower, fills this role well in the early series; he's even based on The Terminator. Dragon Ball: The Path to Power turns him into a Big Scary Black Man. Android #8 was supposed to be this, but revealed himself as a Gentle Giant. Drum, the second-to-last son of King Piccolo, is an interesting version of this, as his stoutness makes Tien underestimate him and is surprised when Drum turns out to be a Lightning Bruiser and decimates him. Nappa, the Older Sidekick to Vegeta, is one of the more notable examples. The first thing he did after landing on Earth was blow up an entire city, and he proved himself to be a nearly indestructible Hero Killer before Goku arrived. Dodoria showcases himself as The Brute when he brutally massacres numerous peaceful Namekians and Neck Snaps the village elder's neck in front of his sons. Dodoria's brutality is further shown in the Bardock episode where he's the one who kills Bardock's squad and gloats about it when he meets the team's leader. Ironically, he is a Dirty Coward when facing his own death at the hands of Vegeta. Despite his persona of graceful beauty, Zarbon becomes this in his transformed state. Recoome is the nigh-invulnerable brute of the Ginyu Special Force. He is actually quite smart, but very sadistic and cruel without an ounce of sympathy, ending his "fight" with Gohan by breaking the kid's neck. Android #19 serves as this for Dr Gero/Android #20. Aside from needlessly killings civilians, #19 despite being a machine takes pleasure in his opponent's suffering, such as when Goku was weakened by his Heart Virus; #19 brutalized him. Much like Dodoria, he proves to be cowardly as he runs away before Vegeta annihilates him. In the Buu Saga, Spopovich is very much this for Babidi and he is completely sadistic, as he beats the life out of poor Videl to the point where his partner Yama has to demand he stop before he kills her. Also from Babidi's goons, Yakon can also be considered this being an outright monster. Jiren is this for the Pride Troopers, being said to be stronger than even his universe's God of Destruction and having the power, physique and brutality to match, and is notable for also being the Arc Villain of the Tournament of Power. The non-canon Dragon Ball movies have Brutes galore: Bongo in Curse of The Blood Rubies. Ghastel in Sleeping Princess in Devil's Castle Sanscho in Dragon Ball Z: Dead Zone. Misokatsun in Dragon Ball Z: The World's Strongest. Almond in Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might. Wings in Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug. Dore in Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, Android 14# in Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13! Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan can be considered The Brute of his own movies. In his canonization, Broly is still technically The Brute of the movie; but conversely, Broly is now a Gentle Giant around Sheelai and Lemo, the people he cares about. Bido in Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound. Shisami in Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F'. Cell Max in Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. |

Pinning down this role in Beast Wars is difficult. Scorponok has the personality, but he's Megatron's Number Two; same goes for Inferno who's more or less The Dragon following his initial appearances. The arrival of Quickstrike in Season 2 marks the first time that the team has a dedicated Brute; he's short-tempered, psychotic, and low on the hierarchy due to his status as a newbie. Rampage is somewhere between this, and an unwilling Sixth Ranger. He's kept under control by a Restraining Bolt, has more physical power than any member of the team (including the Big Bad), and is a Genius Bruiser in the vein of Hannibal Lecter. | |

Later on, Ryoma adds another Brute to Yggdrasill's ranks when he takes Kaito Kumon on as an additional enforcer. When the Overlord Inves make their introduction, the role gets taken by Demushu. | |

Brock Rumlow from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, while at first he seems like a reliable ally to Cap; Rumlow reveals his true colors and allegiance to HYDRA halfway through the movie. While he doesn't pose any significant threat to Cap, to regular humans (like Sharon Carter and Falcon) he is extremely dangerous and uses cheap tactics to get an advantage. In Captain America: Civil War he becomes "Crossbones" and much more of a threat to Cap, able to knock him around with his Power Fist. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Paradox is the Big Bad of the movie, Yu-Gi-Oh!: Bonds Beyond Time, but he turns out to be one of the many servants of Z-One and a member of Yliaster. He prefers simple beatdown strategies where he turbos out high ATK monsters while everyone else in the organization uses more complex strategies to lock down the opponent's plays. In terms of scheming, his plan to fix the Bad Future is to quickly annihilate a city block to kill Pegasus, the inventor of Duel Monsters, while the rest of Yliaster hatches a ridiculously complex and long scheme to destroy Neo Domino city with the remains of the same city from the future. | |

P'Li of Book 3 of The Legend of Korra — who seems to double as The Dragon of the Red Lotus — is another of those rare female examples. On the one hand, she's a deeply wounded former Child Soldier (and, ultimately, a Tragic Villain) who's in mutual, genuine love with the primary antagonist and has been stated by Word of God to match him in antivillainy; on the other, she's a scary 6'8" Cold Sniper with an inked-up face, who can blow things up with her mind. | |

Tales of Zestiria: Lunarre is an Ax-Crazy Hellion who works for the Big Bad, Heldalf. His main role is to use his skills as an ex-assassin and his new fire artes to help start a war between Hyland and Rolance, but he tends to prioritize his own bloodlust against the Shepherd's party. However, he is capable of complex plans and manipulations, making him a downplayed example. In the postgame DLC, he organizes a Hellion attack on Camlann in order to kill or corrupt Sorey and Maotelus in the middle of their hibernation, and it's implied that the combination of his malice and intelligence will turn him into Heldalf's successor as Lord of Calamity, making him a rare example of a brute becoming the new main antagonist. Maotelus is an Empyrean-turned-Hellion who plays this trope straight, albeit unwillingly, since he is unable to think rationally in his current state and therefore provides no intellectual contribution to Heldalf's plans. His role is to act as Heldalf's Armatization partner in the good ending and transform into an unstoppable rampaging dragon in the bad ending. |

Shadow Hearts: Covenant: Lenny is a strong, but dumb commander of Sapientes Gladio. He wields the Power Of The Godhand, and he's stupid enough to be fooled into blurting out secret information to prove that he knows it. Raiden of the Mutant Apes is actually a pretty sophisticated guy, but his huge size and enormous strength in comparison to fellow Apes Hien and Ouka land him squarely into this trope. |

Sifu has this evenly split between Fajar and Sean. Fajar is a downright feral man with an unkempt Beard of Evil. He's also the one who gave your character a Slashed Throat in the prologue of the game. Though, the one who's truly fitting of the role is none other than... ...Sean, the Blood Knight, who runs a Dojo with the emphasis on PAIN. He's the tallest and most muscular of the Dawn Group, and clearly the most violent of all, as though Fajar might fit the Wild Man Archtype, Sean is basically such a Blood Knight that he's simply referred to as "The Fighter". |

Blackout could count seeing as he's the most heavily armed character and the largest one in the original movie. Brawl might also qualify. He is the most heavily-armed Decepticon and the toughest one to kill. It took the combined efforts of the human military and all four non-Optimus Prime Autobots to finally put him down for the count. His alt mode is a literal tank. |

Tales of the Abyss: Largo the Black Lion fits the role but also subverts it: A giant man over six feet tall and wielding a Sinister Scythe, he is a Well-Intentioned Extremist Warrior Poet who is usually very calm and collected, and views battle as a means to an end and not as an end in itself. He is also something of a Worthy Opponent. Although he is the first God-General defeated he returns to plague you several times, and in each of his appearances he's usually strong enough to be a match for a full party. Arietta actually plays this more straight in personality and actions while being the Token Mini-Moe of the God-Generals. Despite her Leeroy Jenkins tendencies and not being particularly clever (she spends the majority of the game being manipulated by others) she doesn't need to be when she can just Zerg Rush enemies with her monsters. Whenever something calls for pure force, the God-Generals rely on Arietta and her beastmaster skills. |

Buffyverse: Luke, The Three, and Absalom for The Master. Kakistos comes more from the "Hulk Smash" school of approach. Mr tick for The Mayor in Buffy Season 3. Lindsey though he's very intelligent and both he along with Lilah are the Co-Dragons for Holland Manners, Lindsey is still the one most willingly to physically attack Angel (his nemesis) even running even him over with a truck and going to town on him with a sledgehammer. In Angel Season 5 he's more a villain in his own right. Forrest for Adam in Buffy Season 4. As shown in flashbacks, Spike was essentially this for Angelus, Darla and his lover Drusilla being the most combat orientated out of the quartet. Best shown in one humorously dark moment when Darla in command is demanding that the gypsy leader remove Angelus's soul, Spikes then comes out of his caravan burping having eaten his whole family. After his Heel–Face Turn Spike is The Big Guy for Buffy and Angel's respective groups. The Captain for the Covenant of Trombli in Pylea. Weatherby for the Watchers Council Special Operations Team. Skip is intentionally meant to invoke this, basically being the mercenary for the Powers That Be (however subverted as he's actually very crafty and manipulative and secretly serves Jasmine an Eldritch Abomination). The Beast from Angel Season 4 makes most brutes look like a pushovers though like Skip, he's more intelligent than he looks. However Angelus recognizes the Beast is still essentially this trope for a greater evil i.e. Jasmine. Caleb for the First Evil. Hamilton for The Senior Partners. |

In the second film, Grindor (who is identical to Blackout but is even larger than him) acts as this during the 3-on-1 battle in the forest while in the final battle, the role clearly belongs to Devastator. Demolisher could count due to his large size and that he just uses his weight instead of a weapon. |

Angel plays this role in the Four Horsemen of the titular villain in X-Men: Apocalypse, especially since apart from Metallic Feather Projectiles, Flight and general brute strength he has absolutely no special powers and pales in comparison to other horsemen. | |

Nemesis, a modified Tyrant from RE3 is not just The Brute, but The Juggernaut who bounces back from everything Jill throws at him. It took a specialised Railgun and then a few headshots from a magnum to put Nemmy down, and even then it’s implied he was still alive even after that, and it took Raccoon City being nuked to finish him. | |

Azrael serves as this to Salem's faction in BlazBlue Alternative: Remnant, even more so than Hazel. He's unequivocally the largest and strongest, able to effortlessly kill giant Grimm like Death Stalkers with a single punch, and he's got the sadistic, bloodthirsty temperament to match. However, he's not particularly stupid so much as he is uncaring for anything outside of battle and destruction. | |

Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village is a rare female example. While most of the other humanoid bosses use some kind of gimmick or ability to give Ethan a hard time, Dimitrescu relies purely on her Statuesque Stunner strength and some Wolverine Claws to overpower Ethan with. Besides Lady D, the troll-like Lycans Uriaș and Uriaș Străjer are this overlapping with Giant Mook. | |

Kingdom Hearts has a few of these: Lexaeus from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories is at least head and shoulders of the rest of the members, and is the only one who can physically lift his weapon (an axesword). Here's a picture of the Org comparing their height.◊ Despite being The Brute, though, he's not stupid; he manages to cut short the one argument we see around him, and apparently has a head for strategy, given that Zexion goes to him for advice to deal with Riku. Xaldin in Kingdom Hearts II. Sadistic, imposing, and dangerous... but definitely NOT stupid. Ursula served this role among the Disney Villains in Kingdom Hearts. She is one of the more formidable battlers, capable of subduing King Triton, and in her first boss fight, she is nearly invulnerable due to her never-ending spin attack that deflects any keyblade strike. Ursula's giant form really cements her role as the brute; she is the largest of the villains (one of the larger members initially), where she is relentlessly attacking you with powerful magic. Like the other Kingdom Hearts Brutes, she isn't dumb; she is capable of manipulating her enemies. Terra-Xehanort and Saix share this position in Kingdom Hearts III. They were both shown to use brute strength being able to overpower and tire their opponents with ease, however, they were both eventually defeated by the Guardians of Light. |

Assassin's Creed: In most titles, there is simply the brute class of enemy, no matter the time period is either walking around in hulking great armour and carrying large weapons or just a really big guy. Thomas Hickey from Assassin's Creed III merits a mention too. While not as classic as El Tiburon, he is bigger and more muscular than other templars from the game, and he is not so devoted to the order. He is just a Psycho for Hire who is only in it for money. He is certainly not stupid though. Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag has El Tiburon who throughout the entire game exists as a physical threat and a bodyguard to Torres. He does not say a word throughout the entire game including in his dying moments. |

In Wild ARMs, Belselk, the first member of the Quarter Knights, is definitely The Brute of the squad. He's a rare case that's actually stronger than The Dragon, and Zeikfried admits this in the remake, calling him the strongest fighter of the Quarter Knights. The heroes were only able to beat him because a trap backfired and left him weaker. The remake had Alhazad revive him after his death at the hands of Boomerang, and he returns near the end of the game to pay Boomerang back then goes on to face the heroes one last time just before the Big Bad. | |

In Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha FORCE, Deville of Hückebein is probably the best example in his family, having the largest build, an axe and the most drastic change when Reacting so far. Arnage also fits, thanks to her reckless Macross Missile Massacre/More Dakka fighting style, and if they aren't enough, she switches immediately to a Wave-Motion Gun. Quinn Garland is the special attacker of the Grendel Family, and has some anger issues in contrast to the more level-headed dragon, Mariya Ranevskaya. |

City of Heroes: An archetype in City of Villains is actually called The Brute, though thanks to the variety of powersets available (and the free-reign character creation), all player characters of this archetype don't necessarily fit the trope — at least the "big" and "all muscle" parts. You can just as easily make an incredibly agile rapier-wielding Brute. They do love to fight, though - the archetype's entire schtick is that they get stronger as a fight goes on. Subverted even more with the past few updates of the game. Since Going Rogue in 2010, it's been possible to change your villainous Brute into a hero, and since City of Heroes Freedom in 2011, it's been possible to start as a heroic Brute. On the other hand, NPCs that fall under this trope are generally of that archetype, including The Wretch. Captain Mako (a large muscle-bound shark man) is a subversion though, being a Stalker. |

Justified: Coover Bennett plays this role to his mother, Mags and brothers Dickie and Doyle. A hulking, dim-witted Mighty Glacier with a marijuana problem, and a penchant for descending into Unstoppable Rage, Coover's about as archetypal a Brute as you can get. Boyd Crowder has the less obvious Jimmy Tolan, a quiet, loyal thug who plays back up to whoever Boyd's Dragon of the moment is, displays some Blood Knight tendencies and acts as his enforcer while being at the edge of the inner circle. In Season 5, with Boyd's other henchmen dead, Jimmy gets promoted to Dragon. |

Transformers: Lugnut in Transformers: Animated, definitely falling under the "blindly loyal" version. In the same series, Blackout takes this role in Team Chaar. Demolishor and Tidal Wave from Armada qualify. From Transformers: Generation One, there's Decepticon gestalts, the first and most famous being Devastator. Pinning down this role in Beast Wars is difficult. Scorponok has the personality, but he's Megatron's Number Two; same goes for Inferno who's more or less The Dragon following his initial appearances. The arrival of Quickstrike in Season 2 marks the first time that the team has a dedicated Brute; he's short-tempered, psychotic, and low on the hierarchy due to his status as a newbie. Rampage is somewhere between this, and an unwilling Sixth Ranger. He's kept under control by a Restraining Bolt, has more physical power than any member of the team (including the Big Bad), and is a Genius Bruiser in the vein of Hannibal Lecter. Transformers: Prime: Breakdown, in an interesting departure from his usual role. He's not especially unintelligent, though; he simply prefers to leave the more cerebral matters to his partner Knock Out, while letting his missile launchers and giant hammer do the talking for him. Both Skyquake and Dreadwing, two brothers who are loyal to Megatron and use heavy weapons, can count (although Dreadwing become The Dragon after his initial appearance, and is actually a Genius Bruiser). Hardshell, an Insecticon with a personality and voice now serves this role. Well, he used to, then he got hit with a bunch of missiles from the Jackhammer and is dead now. Season 3 introduces the new Predaking. A massive ancient Draconic Cybertronian beast revived by Shockwave to hunt the now scattered Autobots. Powerful enough to through around both Wheeljack and Bulkhead and durable enough to barely notice a grenade going off underneath it and only slowed down being crushed by a mine falling on its head. Later he reveals that he is capable of transformation. When he speaks for the first time he reveals a rather eloquent and almost tragic side, being alone and unsure of his destiny. Megatron is not pleased to discover that his new "Brute" is actually a Genius Bruiser capable of overthrowing him if he so chose. Skylynx and Darksteel play this role in Predacons Rising. |
