Brutal: Paws of Fury was a fighting game containing anthropomorphic characters published by GameTek in 1994. An enhanced version, Brutal Unleashed, was made for the Sega 32X in 1995; in 2002, a fan remake, Brutal Remix, was released.

The Brutal storyline was typically banal for its time: Under the watchful eyes of the malicious Dali Lama, twelve (and later fourteen) fighters came to the simply-named Brutal Island to battle for fame, prize money, and recognition.

The gameplay is generally inspired by Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, but with a twist: Players began with only 'basic' moves (move, three attack types, grapple, and taunt), and had to 'learn' new moves by defeating various characters. By the time the player had fought all the way to the final boss (Dali Llama in the original, Karate Croc in Unleashed), he or she had a full repertoire of moves.
