-Doppelgangers have low health, but they resist almost all forms of damage, and can only be directly harmed with [[Neural Overload]]. They have [[True-Sight]], thus cannot be affected by [[Neurovisual Disruption]]. They are immune to most status effects, but not to fear from [[Frighten]], and can be incapacitated with [[Mental Breakdown]].
+Doppelgangers have low health, but they resist almost all forms of damage, and can only be directly harmed with [[Neural Overload]]. They have [[True-Sight]], thus cannot be affected by [[Neurovisual Disruption]]. They are immune to most status effects, but not to fear from [[Frighten]] or [[Brutality]], and can be incapacitated with [[Mental Breakdown]].
 Technically they can be intimidated with [[Yell]], but since they don't rely on offensive skills this won't have any benefit. [[Enrage]] works on them, but it is similarly useless, since Doppelgangers don't change targets. While [[Bilocation]] can also be successfully used, Doppelgangers fully resist damage done by Doppelgangers.

 Although [[Locus of Control]] gives immunity against [[Bilocation]], it does not protect against the mental damage of Doppelgangers. [[Resolve]] reduces damage received from doppelgangers from version [[1.1.0.5]] onwards.
-Even though the damage they deal targets the mind and so bypasses shields and armors, it is delivered through normal melee attacks and can be dodged.

 The hit chance of a doppelganger might depend on either the [[Melee]] skill of the victim or the caster's [[Thought Control]] value.{{verify}}

 Unlike other Doppelgangers, these ones aimlessly wander the facility after the suspension cells are turned off, will attack the player if they are detected, and each has a name corresponding to their counterparts in the suspension cells. Although they can be "killed" the same way as ordinary Doppelgangers can, they will endlessly re-spawn until the cells holding their physical bodies are disabled outside of combat.

		+	Players working for Praetorian Security will encounter a unique [[Ancient Rathound]] with psionic abilities named [[Jookhela]] when sent to investigate the [[Sewers generator]]. Among other abilities, Jookhela has access to a unique version of Bilocation which allows it to create psionic duplicates of itself, instead of the player. These duplicates, besides looking like Ancient Rathound silhouettes rather than humanoid silhouettes, deal more damage and have more health than normal Doppelgangers.
