Does anyone remember seeing flood brutes?--[[User:JohnSpartan117|JohnSpartan117]] 04:44, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
:No. I don't think Bungie put them in. --[[User:Dragonclaws|Dragonclaws]] 05:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
I know that you sometimes see dead bodies turn into flood. Are Brutes just ignored?--[[User:JohnSpartan117|JohnSpartan117]] 06:06, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


== How many species are capable of being assimilated? ==
Maybe we will see Flood Brutes in Halo 3, we just have to wait and see. User:Joshua 029


From the original trilogy we see flood in various forms yet only the humans, brutes, elites and the prophets are able to be infected. Yes in Halo Wars we see other forms of flood, including combat forms of grunts, jackals, hunters, buggers, engineers and even zombified birds, but those forms of assimilation are never heard from again. So is it safe only humans and three species of the covenant can be all alien races capable of been converted?--[[Special:Contributions/106.69.214.237|106.69.214.237]] 08:17, 23 August 2015 (EDT)
Wow, this is the only topic you guys could think of right now? Come on!--[[User:Leckgolo434|prophit of war]] 21:47, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


:No. As far as I know, the Flood ''can'' assimilate ''anything'' with sufficient biomass, calcium deposits (ie; bones) and brain power. If it's sentient, it just increases its "processing power" for lack of a better term. It's perfectly capable of assimilating animal life - the animals aboard the Infinite Succor were also infected, and turned into terrifying forms. We only see a few forms in the games for sake of game balance, and because forms based on Grunts and Jackals, which are more fragile than humans, Elites or Brutes, wouldn't be as interesting to the player. To my knowledge, the Flood ignores Drones and Hunters because Drones don't have a skeleton, which it uses to build new forms, and because Hunters don't have a singular consciousness to take over. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 19:35, 23 August 2015 (EDT)
maybe juggernuts were flood brutes--[[User:Sangheili|Sangheili]] 00:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)


^ I think they can also "infect" all dead things, but when they are alive they wouldn't be infected. [[User:Alertfiend|Alertfiend]] ([[User talk:Alertfiend|talk]]) 19:53, 23 August 2015 (EDT)
I was looking at bungies marathon page and it mentioned and showed a picture of something called a fungal zombie which looked and seemed really close to the flood. {{unsigned|70.141.203.60}}


Could the other combat forms in Halo Wars be considered cannon? Because if they are, it would balance the list of the species that they assimilate.--[[Special:Contributions/106.69.214.237|106.69.214.237]] 05:02, 24 August 2015 (EDT)
Hey, has anyone noticed there's a thing about the flood. They come in waves, waves of flood(parasite), floods can have waves in them(water). Anyone notice how they're similer?--[[User:Leckgolo434|prophit of war]] 23:56, 29 November 2006 (UTC)


:I don't see why it shouldn't be considered canon. Just because it hasn't appeared since doesn't mean it never did, or never will. If (when) the Flood ever do return to the Halo games, 343i could choose to diversify their game units by including some infected ambient wildlife, to fill new niches - a Flood Crawler, for example, made from an alien animal, etc. -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 05:39, 24 August 2015 (EDT)
Hey, does anyone know what that spore thing was for in High Charity at the end of Halo 2.--[[User:Leckgolo434|prophit of war]] 15:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)


Can anyone tell me why my edit to the infection section was deleted, despite the fact I provided a source?--[[Special:Contributions/106.69.214.237|106.69.214.237]] 06:09, 28 August 2015 (EDT)
The Middle section of a Juggernaught is too thin to be a brute, and what spore thing in High Charity? The Brain forms?--[[User:UNSC AI #23|Will]] 16:16, 04 January 2007 (UTC)


:As stated in the edit summary made by the person who reversed your edit, the precursors weren't the original hosts, what was left of the Precursors ''turned into'' the Flood. Also as stated above by Morhek, the Flood don't infect Lekgolo or Yanme'e. Even with these corrections, the information you have put is stated elsewhere on the page. -- [[User:Topal the Pilot|'''Topal the Pilot''']] [[File:Blueteam.png|20px]] <small>([[User talk:Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Talk'''</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Contribs'''</span>]])</small> 06:22, 28 August 2015 (EDT)
== Theories ==


I too reverted the edits and I did to for the reason stated by Topal. [[User:Alertfiend|Alertfiend]] ([[User talk:Alertfiend|talk]]) 06:39, 28 August 2015 (EDT)
I think the spores are the basis for the infection forms. The spores get into a host, turn him into a carrier full of infection forms. I think the Juggernaut a conglomeration of bodies like the brain forms. {{unsigned|Spacecase610}}
 
:Yeah... we don't really know how it got started, but there must have been a first infection form, and it inserted its spores into someone, climbed in there to control it, and eventually more infection forms came out and did what the first one did. As for Juggernauts, I don't really think there is an explanation for them, which is why you don't fight them in the game. Bungie just couldn't think of something for them on time.

== New image ==
 
Let's get an image of flood from Halo 2 Anniversary's campaign for modern graphics. Or the lockout map.{{Unsigned|Editorguy}}
 
== Flood's food ==
 
Flood can consume all lifeforms from sentient creature to non sentient creature (it can consume  animals,plants,microorganisms and absorb also nutrients from soil and also absorb sunlight for photosynthesis like plant.)

== Flood virus form ==
There can be hypothetical form of flood can known as Flood virus(also called fragment of flood DNA)which is a smallest form of flood (even smaller than flood super cell) that can easily infect any lifeforms.
How the flood virus formed?
Cellular origin theory
Some viruses may have evolved from bits of DNA or RNA of Precursor that "escaped" from the genes of a Precursor . The escaped DNA could have come from plasmids—pieces of DNA that can move between cells—while others may have evolved from other species.
