Only one Gravemind is know to have infested our galaxy before the Gravemind that appeared in ''[[Halo 2]]''. The first was stopped by the [[The_Halos#History|first activation of the Halo rings]], by the [[Forerunners]]. There are possibilities that there are more Graveminds on the other Installations, though this has not yet been confirmed. | Only one Gravemind is know to have infested our galaxy before the Gravemind that appeared in ''[[Halo 2]]''.
