Description
Wielding a gilded axe in one hand and a crossbow in the other, piglin brutes are known for their suicidal fighting style. Dying to protect their bastion and the gold within it. Although more "tame" piglins can be dissuaded from battle with some gold, piglin brutes see past the bribery, and ignore the gold, choosing to attack any foreign creatures on sight.
A Culture of Bloodshed. As the name can imply, piglin brutes are raised in a brutal culture, and taught not to fear death, for the fate of mercy is much worse than what death can bring. Any piglin born in a bastion has a chance to be raised as a brute, as about 50% of a bastion's population consists of these brutes. There is no recorded or official way these piglins know to raise an infant as either a brute or a citizen, the best answer that friendly piglins could answer is that it just feels like instinct to them.
Golden Sense. Despite holding no interest in bartering with gold, piglins, as well as brutes, have a sort of sixth sense that lets them sniff out any gold near them, around 60 feet to be specific.
