'''Gaunts''' are a kind of [[Flood pure form|pure form]] used by the [[Flood]]. They bear a superficial resemblance to the [[Abomination]] and [[Flood Juggernaut|Juggernaut]] [[key mind]] forms employed by the Flood, though serve a vastly different role and are much smaller in size.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=411}}

The Gaunts are the Flood forms seen in the end cutscene for the ''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]'' level [[What Could Go Wrong?]]. They are a distinct form to the [[Abomination]] found in gameplay, though share an identical outward appearance - primarily separated by the sheer lumbering size of the Abomination when compared to the Gaunt. Despite this notation, the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'' utilises Gaunt concept art for the Gaunt's entry in the book and a Gaunt render for the Abomination (both featured in the gallery below).{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}

When created for the [[Blur Studio]] cutscenes in the DLC, the Gaunt was referred to internally as the "Flood Commander".{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/v2rO2E|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo Banished|Detail=Filename <code>theo-stylianides-chr-flood-commander.jpg</code>|D=07|M=05|Y=2022}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JAQEn|Site=ArtStation|Page=Halo Wars 2 Awakening the Nightmare Cutscenes|Quote=Blur did the cutscenes for Halo Wars 2 Awakening the Nightmare.
