Brute

Oni, the prime example among the Brute demons

Brute, known in Japan as Mystic Ogres (妖鬼, Yōki)^?, is a race of demons of the Demoniacs species in the Megami Tensei series. As the name suggests, the majority of these demons are physical attackers; many of them are variants of the basic Oni. Albeit ambiguous with the Touki race, Brute is Chaos aligned, while Touki is Neutral. Moreover, with few exceptions from other Asian legends, most Brute demons were originated from Japanese lore.
