The Dark Stone Brutes are members of the Scafford Gang that have become fused with rock and the Dark Stone, itself, growing out of control to become hulking monsters! Towering over other humans, the Dark Stone Brutes have become crazed, responding only to fellow members of their gang, and smashing any others that come too close, with their powerful rocky arms!
