Are the Brutes a Single Gender Species?
I ask this because I have never heard of there being any female Brutes, and whilst playing Halo 3 just now one of the Brutes said "No! He was my lover!" after I killed a Brute.

In the Halo 3 limited edition book, I believe it says only males fight...

That would be impossible, so no. I'm gonna second that notion about only males fighting.

Also, anything that is NOT important to the plot in the games is a POOR choice of evidence when talking about the lore. [Edited on 08.09.2012 10:23 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Chewbaccawakka [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xXIHAYD0IXx It could also be "brother," not lover.[/quote] Yes, I've heard that particular line several times. I can assure you that he is saying "No, he was my brother!" which fits in quite well with their clanistic/tribal culture.[/quote] "He was my lover!" is in with IWHBYD on. Which, dialogue from that typically just is silly. Still, I really don't see why the heck there is an issue if they said that line, and if there was female brutes.......

I made a thread a while back explaining this. The brutes are based off of the tradgedy of julius caesar. In this play lovers really means dear friends. So instead of "No he was my lover!" it really translates to "No he was my friend!"
-
Asking the big questions, eh? lol... I cant believe I've never thought about that before haha
-
I'm glad they didn't include female Brutes in the game. It puts a scary image in my mind of a brute with 50's wife hair.

When it comes to Halo lore you really shouldn't base any assumptions off things that are not central to the games' plots or base it off gameplay. Look to the plot and books instead. Something like "he was my lover" is almost certainly a joke. For example the talking grunt at the end of Halo 3 says he has the Fist of Rukt, but everyone knows Bungie put him in there for laughs, so it is highly unlikely he has it.

Yes there are female brutes seeing as the are more or less mammal's and cannot reproduce a-blam!-ly. Brothels were mentioned in "stomping on the heels of a fuss".
