The ''' Flood Bomber Form ''' is an airborne [[Flood]] form that was encountered during the [[Battle of the Flood-controlled Shield World]] in [[2531#February|February 2531]]. It attacks by dropping [[Flood Growth Pods|growth pods]] full of [[Flood Infection Form|infection forms]] on enemies. It is usually spawned through either a [[Flood Den|Flood den]], [[Flood Vent|vent]] or [[Flood Colony|colony]].<ref>http://www.mahalo.com/Halo_Wars_Skulls</ref> | |||
== | ==Description== | ||
The | The Bomber Form appears to be either an infected flying creature or an airborne Pure Form. It's bloated abdomen is similar to the head of a Flood [[Flood Carrier Form|carrier form]]. This is likely where they incubate the infection forms they carry. It is also probably where they hold whatever keeps them in the air, probably a lighter-than-air gas, similar to [[Huragok]]. | ||
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'. The Bomber Form has a face-shaped appendage with two empty eye-holes near the front of its body. Because most Flood forms do not use eyes for sensory purposes, but instead use the sensory antannae on the end of their infection forms, it is likely the Bomber Form was created from a creature indigenous to the [[Shield World (Halo Wars)|Shield World]]. It was likely a floating creature before being infected. | |||

The [[Halo Wars | *The [[Halo Wars Skulls#Pain Train|Pain Train skull]] on the ''[[Halo Wars]]'' level [[Beachhead (Halo Wars level)|Beachhead]] requires the player to kill ten Bomber Forms.<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/forums/thread/479061.aspx ''Halo Wars'' Official Site forums], accessed on 25/02/09</ref> | ||
* In an issue of ''[[wikipedia:GamePro|Gamepro]]'', it was mentioned that there would be a second flying Flood form besides the [[Flood Swarms]]. This was later revealed to be the Bomber Form. Ironically, a picture of the Bomber Form also appeared in the issue, accompanied with the confusion of ''GamePro'' as to what it was. | |||
*Despite speculation, the Bomber Form cannot be an infected Huragok as Huragok are artificially created. It is also much too large to be a Huragok. | |||
