They appear as a long tube with a nipple at one end to consume from. They contain a blue, bubbling paste that the [[Grunt]]s find unappetizing but nutritious. <ref>''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]'', page 54</ref> [[McKay]] describes the smell as "old socks wrapped in rotting cheese". <ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 189</ref> | ||
