The most ubiquitous variation of Flood infection form, the pod infectors are produced and deployed en masse to infect sapient hosts. Their tendrils can slice open bare skin and even armor to inject Flood Super Cells directly into a victim's nervous system. Pod infectors can be incubated within blisters found in Flood hives or even within the bodies of other Flood variations, such as carrier forms. Compared to the simpler infection forms like spores, pod infectors allow the parasite a dedicated vessel capable of hunting down and spreading the infection.
