| == How many species are capable of being assimilated? == | | == Halo Wars == |
|

| 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)
| | Uh your wrong on Forge detonating a reactor he detonated there Slip-Space Drive and there not lost, there trying to get home without a slip-space drive, and it would seem from what Ive unlocked on the Halo Timeline in Halo Wars that only Anders is put in cryo cause it says that Cutter goes and sees the Sprit of Fires doctor and write condolances to families and all such stuff and finally sleeps for the 1st time in 2 weeks...

| :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)
| | Cryo protocol requires all non-essential personnel to go into cryo, to conserve resources and energy that would otherwise be wasted on life support. By non-essential, that would include Professor Anders. A skeleton crew is retained to keep the ship barely running, including the Captain. As for what Forge detonated, it was actually their FTL drive - the Spirit of Fire can still probably enter and exit slipspace, but without an FTL drive, it would be no faster, and a lot less accurate, than just drifting. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=blue>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=purple>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[w:c:halofanon:Operation: HOT GATES|<u><font color=blue>Honour Light Your Way!</font></u>]]''</sup></b> 04:59, 3 June 2009 (UTC) |

| 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)

| :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)

| 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)
| | While this sentence begins with accurate information which persists until the middle of the second, it ends with a statement that is not mentioned or corroborated anywhere. |
|
| |
|
| :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)

| 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) | | Where did this come from? I had earlier deleted it because it was flat-out wrong and part of this wikia's problem of poor grammar and reasoning being passed off as fact, but it was put back anyway. This is apparently someone's pet theory that they're trying to pass off as fact. |

| == New image ==
| | Since when is it said in actual canon that the Flood could have come from different universes? I have reviewed many sources of canon, and nowhere does it say this. All that is said about the Flood in regard to their origins is that they are foreign to all known forms of life in the Milky Way galaxy, and that they are extra-galactic in origin. |
|
| |
|
| Let's get an image of flood from Halo 2 Anniversary's campaign for modern graphics. Or the lockout map.{{Unsigned|Editorguy}}
| | Even if they did come from other universes, how could they get here without it being noted somewhere that they came from a device or mechanism that could lead to this kind of event? No such statement or idea has ever been described. |
|
| |
|
| == Flood's food ==
| | This kind of activity is rampant at this wiki, and really needs to stop. Proper encyclopedia's do not have baseless speculations and unsubstantiated pet theories being paraded around as fact. If people do this, then those who come here to cite this will be being fed false information and outright lies, and will perpetuate the problem even further. |

| 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.
