Greydwarf Brute

The Greydwarf brute is a larger, tougher variant of the Greydwarf found in the Black Forest. It has red eyes, a dandelion growing from its head, and does not fear fire like most other forest creatures. It can also appear at night in the Meadows after the Elder has been defeated.

In combat, the brute relies on a single heavy melee attack rather than any ranged option. It slams a rock downward in a short forward arc, dealing 30 slash damage and being able to repeat the attack every 2 seconds when a player is close enough. Because it has no ranged attack, it becomes far less dangerous if it cannot reach its target.

• Greydwarf brutes are vulnerable to fire and can be killed effectively with torches or a Crude Bow loaded with Fire arrows.
• Their attacks can be actively dodged or parried, which is especially important when wearing lower-tier armor.
• Despite the club-like arm it uses as a weapon, its attack deals slash damage.
• One-star and two-star brutes have noticeably pinker bark than the standard brown variety.
• They are commonly encountered in the Black Forest at night, and may also spawn in Meadows after the Elder is defeated.
