The term 'Big Brutes' refers to two mythical creatures, APES and OGRES. APES are large, tailless primates with long arms and short legs, while OGRES are large, monstrous humanoid creatures from folklore. Both of these creatures have been featured in literature, film, and other media for centuries. They are often seen as symbols of strength and power, and are often used to represent the darker side of human nature.
