+The ''' bomber form ''' is an airborne [[Flood]] [[Flood carrier form|carrier form]] created through the infection of an airborne pseudo-[[Wikipedia:Cephalopod|cephalodpod]].{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22P409|Enc22|Page=409}} It attacks by dropping [[Flood blister|blisters]] full of [[pod infector]]s and [[Flood spore|spore]]s onto enemies from above.{{Ref/Reuse|Beachhead}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P409}} Numerous bomber forms were encountered during the [[Battle of Trove|Battle of]] [[Trove]] in [[2531#February|February 2531]].{{Ref/Reuse|Beachhead}}
+==Overview==
+===Description===
+With an non-sapient airborne pseudo-[[Wikipedia:Cephalopod|cephalodpod]] serving as its orignal host, the bomber form is a variation of [[Flood]] [[Flood carrier form|carrier form]] that uses its host's gas bladders to stay aloft.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P409}} The bomber form bears a strange and haunting shape, with a large, flesh-bound mouth and long, finger-like tendrils. Its "head" is set at the front of a bulbous rear section that is used to incubate [[pod infector]]s and [[Flood spore|spore]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P409}}{{Ref/Reuse|Beachhead}}
-The ''' Flood Bomber Form ''' is an airborne [[Flood|Flood]] form and a ''[[Halo Wars]]'' Flood unit.<ref>http://www.mahalo.com/Halo_Wars_Skulls</ref> It attacks by dropping [[Flood Growth Pods]] full of [[Infection Form]]s on enemies. It is usually spawned through either a [[Flood Den|flood den]], [[Flood Vent|vent]] or [[Flood Colony|colony]].
+===Behavior===
+The bomber form floats around the environment, incubating [[Flood blister|blister]]s within its body and dropping them onto victims below, effectively seeding areas with the parasite with much less risk of being damaged in retaliation.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P409}}
-==Appearance==
+==History==
+Numerous bomber forms were created by the Flood during the outbreak on the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] of [[Trove]]. These were encountered by the crew of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} during [[Battle of Trove|a battle]] between them and the [[Covenant]] led by the [[Prophet of Regret]].{{Ref/Level|Id=Beachhead|HW|Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead}}
-The '''Bomber Form''' appears to have an abdomen similar to the head of a [[Flood Carrier Form]], and this is likely where they incubate their [[Infection Form]]s. It is also probably where they hold whatever keeps them in the air, probably a lighter-than-air gas, similar to [[Huragok]]. The front has a face-shaped appendage with two empty eye-holes. Because most [[Flood]] forms do not use eyes, but instead the sensory 'legs' on the end of the Infection Forms, to move around, it is likely this is a natural creature to the Shield World which has been taken over by the flood and turned into a floating carrier. It is likely it was a floating creature already. Although there are many rumors, it cannot be an infected Huragok as Huragok are artificially created. It has two arm-like tentacles coming from the sack on either side of the 'head', and many tentacle-like appendages coming from the 'mouth'. Or it might be a early pure form flood are like mold so they must evovlve quickly.
+==Gameplay==
+In the mission [[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]], bomber forms are spawned from both [[Flood den]]s and [[flood colony|colonies]].{{Ref/Reuse|Beachhead}}
 ==Trivia==
-*The [[Halo Wars Skulls#Pain Train|Pain Train skull]] on the [[Halo Wars]] level [[Beachhead]] requires the player to kill 10 of these forms.<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/forums/thread/479061.aspx Halo Wars Official Site Forums], accessed on 25/02/09</ref>
+The [[Halo Wars skulls#Pain Train|Pain Train skull]] on the level ''Beachhead'' requires the player to kill ten bomber forms.
-* In an issue of GamePro, it was mentioned that there would be a second flying Flood incarnation besides the Flood Swarms. This turned out to be the Bomber Forms. There was also a picture of the Bomber Form accompanied with the confusion of GamePro as to what it was.
-*Bomber Forms will drop a smaller [[Flood Egg]] which is similar to the kind the Flood Stalk releases.
