Brute

Brutes are huge, bestial humanoids created by deranged scientists, whether for their own purposes or at the behest of some evil mastermind. Starting with a normal human, the process twists the body beyond imagining and unhinges the mind. The brute gains super-normal physical abilities but has no real personality beyond rage. Adventurers most often encounter brutes as enforcers or bodyguards. For subtler tasks, the Red Death's servants employ skulkers.

Powerful villains always surround themselves with minions rather than face peril themselves. Thanks to the Red Death, they can arm themselves with skulkers, brutes, and other minions specially bred to that dark purpose.
