Unique Enemy: Again, only two Brutes are encountered as enemies in the entire game, one of them in the Industrial Castle with the Cardinal animal orb, and the other near the end of the game brought back to life by the Necromancer (meaning it may well be the same Brute both times).Green Thumb: His splash attack is a wave of thorny vines.Giant Mook: Only two Brutes are encountered as enemies, and both of them are beefy.Boss in Mook Clothing: The Beefy Brute in the Industrial Castle is the strongest enemy there aside from the boss and he has a animal orb companion, which for reference only the Bear Boss and the camel rider have a similar distinction of having (and the camel rider is no more dangerous the a normal Saracen once actually caught up to).Bears Are Bad News: At least if you're fighting them.The Goomba: The very first Mooks you will encounter, and consequently the easiest.Barbarian Hero: A playable Barbarian will become this.Zerg Rush: They might each be a One-Hit-Point Wonder, but they make up for it by practically filling the screen to attack you.Violation of Common Sense: Their shield is a giant hand grenade.One-Hit-Point Wonder: Averted by the playable version, but the enemy versions will die in about one hit each.Energy Weapon: His magic involves unleashing laser blasts.Conservation of Ninjutsu: Despite their superior numbers, they aren't at all more dangerous than any other enemy group.Understandable, considering their relative squishiness.

Badass Normal: Like the Gray Knight, his 'magic' is more just using standard equipment and calling in arrows from offscreen support.Redshirt Army: Many of them are killed in the first few levels alone.The bombs can also be used for breaking walls just like the consumable bomb items.
