==Description== | ==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}} | |||
===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}} | |||
==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}} | |||
