The '''Gravemind''' <ref>[[High Charity (Level)]], Cortana: "Flood controlled dropships are touching down all over the city! That creature beneath the Library, that 'Gravemind', used us. We were just a diversion."</ref> ('''Inferi Sententia''', meaning "Thinking Dead") (voiced by [[Dee Bradley Baker]]) is the greatest stage in the life cycle of the [[Flood]], and one of the main antagonists of the ''Halo'' series. When it reaches a certain critical mass, it develops a centralized intelligence. It is the Flood personality, controlling all other Flood forms and often speaking through them and even its hosts. It carries with it the genetic memory garnered from millennia of feasting and slumber, making it virtually omniscient. Since the intent of a Gravemind is to consume and absorb every sentient creature in the Galaxy, it is the collection of fallen Flood and other lifeforms.<ref>''[[The Art of Halo]]'', page 56</ref> The Gravemind has complete control over other forms of Flood and can even speak through the [[Pure Forms]] and some [[Combat Forms]], using this ability to taunt its enemies. The Gravemind produces quadrillions of Flood spores.

===''[[Halo Wars]]''===

The Flood on [[the Apex]] Shield World were well on their way to building a [[Proto-Gravemind]], which acted as the primary base of the [[Flood]] in each battle that involved them. If [[Sergeant Forge]] and [[SPARTAN]] Red-Team had not destroyed it, it might have developed into a complete Gravemind like the one from [[Installation 05]].
