SPECIAL TRAITS

• Indomitable Defense. As a bonus action, the brute can activate its indomitable defense. The brute has advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. When it makes an attack, it gains a +4 bonus to damage roll. Additionally, the brute has resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. The brute can’t use this feature again until it finishes a short or long rest.
• Legendary Resistance (2/day). If the brute fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

ACTIONS

• Multiattack. The brute makes two slam attacks.
• Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d8 +6) bludgeoning damage. If the target is a Large or smaller creature, it is grappled (escape DC 17). The brute has advantage on attack rolls against the grappled creature.
• Debris Toss (Recharge 5-6). The brute throws a random piece of nearby debris in a line that is 60 feet long and 5 feet wide, provided it has no creature grappled. Each creature in that line must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 28 (4d10) bludgeoning damage, and being knocked prone on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one and aren’t knocked prone.

REACTIONS

• Counter Grapple. When the brute takes damage from a creature within its reach, it can use its reaction to attempt to grapple the creature.
