Yes, Bruz can become Deranged after being shamed, which will cause him to cry out that the fort belongs to Talion and will be the only thing he will say for the rest of the playthrough until he has been slain. This transformation occurs as a result of the shaming process, which involves Celebrimbor yelling at the hapless Orc, causing them to flee in terror and lower their rank by five levels down to a minimum of level 1, and can also lead to the Orc adopting a new title like “The Mindless” or “The Mad“.
