The Fridge Brute is an enemy that appears in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric. They are a model of Destruction Troops created by Lyric the Last Ancient, capable of using ice-based attacks in conjunction with its massive strength.

Appearance

The Fridge Brutes are tall and massive pale yellow and white robots with grey joints. They have a round upper torso with two light blue lenses resembling searchlights over each shoulder, each of which are connected to the torso by light blue cables, and two low-sectioned arms with a large round sphere with caps for their right hand and a blue-lensed cannon with a light blue cable for their left hand. Possessing a thin waist with light blue lights, it has a cup-shaped torso with three grey legs covered in pale yellow armor. Connected to their chest by a thin neck, they have a blue eye with light blue sclera, a slit-like pupil and armored eyelids with an adjustable horn on top. Befitting of their name, their entire upper body is covered in a layer of ice.

Overview

Over a thousand years ago, the Fridge Brutes were created by Lyric the Last Ancient, aiding him in his plans to destroy the earth. When Lyric was imprisoned before accomplishing his plans, the Fridge Brutes were abandoned, though Lyric left some of them behind to be found so the finders would set him free to learn the Fridge Brutes' secrets. When Lyric was released in the present, he reactivated and/or reclaimed all his Fridge Brutes.

The Fridge Brutes are a very uncommon enemy in Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric, serving more or less as small minibosses. The player first encounters the Fridge Brutes in Slowpoke Isle. In battle, they attack by either hammering with their ice maces or shooting freezing beams that create temporary patches of ice if they hit the ground. If the player is hit by those beams or touch their ice patches, the player not only takes damage, but is also immobilize in ice and vulnerable to attack, though the player will eventually break free. Additionally, they can make themselves invulnerable to damage and unfazed by the player's attacks for a few seconds by glowing blue.

The Fridge Brutes are easily amongst the strongest enemies in the game due to their powerful abilities and attacks, and they have a great deal of health which let them withstand several hits before going down. Also, their large size make them impossible to be lassoed with the Enerbeam. If the player can stun them though, the player can lank the Fridge Brutes with the Enerbeam by pressing to instantly destroy them, where they will freeze themselves until they explode. When defeated, the Fridge Brutes release six Rings and a varying amount of Robot Scrap.

After Team Sonic defeated Lyric, all the Fridge Brutes were subsequently scrapped.

Personality

The Fridge Brutes are shown to have a somewhat gloating personality, occasionally standing triumphant in place and making movements indicating a mocking laugh.

Powers and abilities

The Fridge Brutes are impressively tough robots, capable of withstanding excessive amounts of damage. They are equipped with ice cannons on their left arm which can shoot beams at such low temperatures that those hit by them or touching the icy patches they create will be frozen solid in ice. Similarly, they can generate ice in the shape of a mace around their right hand which they can use with terrifying efficiently in close combat. They can also temporarily cloak their entire bodies in a blue force field which make them invulnerable to harm.
