Another form of Precursor is the Primordial who was massive in size; the mold encapsulating the being on Charum Hakkor outlined a being approximately fifteen meters tall and eleven meters wide with the Ur-Didact seeing it on Charum Hakkor describing it as possessing an insectoid head, four arms, and two degenerate legs and a long, segmented "tail" being attached to the base of the skull and tipped with a two meter-long barb. Each of its hands had three fingers and a central opposable thumb. The face of the Primordial had been likened to that of a eurypterid, or "sea scorpion," a creature that the Precursors had allegedly seeded on a number of planets including Earth. Its head was flattened, with oval compound eyes and insect-like mouthparts.<ref name="c277">'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 277''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 119''</ref> Later, aboard Installation 07, the being was described as having a large number of legs which it held in a curled-up position similar to a spider.

The most detailed and most prominent form of the Precursors known to the inhabitants of the Milky Way is their form as the Flood, a species of highly virulent parasitic organisms that reproduce and grow by consuming sentient lifeforms of sufficient biomass and cognitive capability. This form was initially born of corrupted Precursor remains.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 181-182''</ref>

On [[Netherop]] the Precursor fugitives, of which there appeared to be at least two, took on the form of the pearl ambiance around [[Rosa Fuertes]].{{Ref/Reuse|Out16}}
