In the spirit of Todd's Brute Upgrades, I thought of one of my own...a little 
more extreme perhaps.

    The Huntsmen:    Borrowed from Lloydd Alexander's Prydain novels, and 
best suited to a mystical encounter in Avalon, these Brutes are servants of 
Arrawn the death lord.  Each squad is bonded together in an ancient blood 
right.  As each member is killed, his strength flows into his brothers.
    All 6 start as Threat 1 Brutes.  When 1 is killed the rest become Threat 
2 Brutes.  When the next is killed, the rest become Threat 3 Brutes, and so 
on until the last is a Threat 6 Brute…TN 35, 6 kept dice.  Huntsmen always 
roll at least their threat level in dice regardless of how many are attacking 
at once.
    To be dealt with characters will either need to kill them all 
simultaneously, or incapacitate them without killing them.  Huntsmen who have 
been crippled will typically take their own life to add their strength to 
their brethren.

    Anyway, I think they might work pretty well as a pseudo-celtic kind of 
mystical Sidhe related encounter.  Especially nasty to have a couple bands of 
these guys pursueing you.
