Brutus (Zombies)

Brutus is a special type of enemy in the map, Mob of the Dead. He spawns in randomly with other zombies, rather than having his own round. He is very heavy (as the ground shakes when he runs nearby), does more damage than an average zombie and has a massive amount of health.

Overview
Brutus takes appearance of a heavily armored prison guard. He can spawn at any time (apart from the first few rounds), and he spawns somewhere nearby a player, emitting a loud roar. The sound of a prison cell opening is heard a few seconds before he spawns. If Brutus is walking near the player, the ground will heavily shake from his footsteps.

The player does not obtain any points for shooting him, although shooting his helmet off and killing him will yield 250 and 750 points respectively. His helmet can be shot off to allow for headshots, which is by far the most reliable and quickest way to kill him. However, if he is not killed very quickly after disregarding his helmet, he will drop a smoke grenade at his location. This smoke lasts for approximately 30 seconds, and can obscure much of the player's vision. Brutus can occasionally teleport, evident by hi, disappearing and showing up elsewhere a moment later.

If he passes a Perk-a-Cola machine, a workbench, the Mystery Box or the plane, he can lock it from use. It can be unlocked with 2000 points, but this amount will increase by 2000 points each time he locks them within a round. He can also destroy all wooden planks on a barrier if he is near one. He will also drop a random power-up upon death.

Brutus is unaffected by the Acid Trap and Fan Trap and will disable them if he enters their vicinity whilst they are active. He can however, be killed by the Tower Trap, provided he remains within its radius to sustain enough damage.
