The origin of brittlemen is unknown. They are often said to be some sort of drakespawn or some sort of failed species creation attempt. Brittlemen tend to attack in hordes, eating whatever they can find. They use weapons if they can find them.

Whenever you are hit by an attack that would damage you, you take that damage as a limb hack instead. All damage types still apply. If the hit was critical, you instead take it as two limb hacks. If you attempted to block the triggering attack, then a limb that used whatever item you blocked with is the one that's hacked. Otherwise, if the damage was dealt by a creature, they choose which limb is affected. If not, it is random. Only an un-hacked limb can be used for this. If that's not possible, you take the damage normally.
