Prophet Form is a term to describe | Prophet Form is a term to describe Covenant Prophets that have been infected by the [[Flood]]. Due to their unusual nature, they are not thought of as [[Combat Forms]] in the way infected [[Humans]], [[Elites]], or [[Brutes]] are (Note that the term "Prophet Form" has not been officially used as canon to date). Regret was the first Prophet to be infected ingame, although, the Minister of Etiology was infected long before Regret and it is assumed that most of the millions of Prophets on High Charity fell victim to the Flood after the [[Gravemind]] escaped [[Installation 05]]. The Prophet of Mercy was one of two prophets to be seen being infected by an [[infection form]]. In his case, the Infection form was killed by the [[Master Chief]] before it could burrow inside Mercy's body. In the second case, The Gravemind took control of the Prophet of Truth while he was being infected and spoke through him as though he were a puppet. When the [[Arbiter]] was preparing to finish Truth small flood tentacles and boils can be seen erupting from Truth's skin. The Prophet of Truth was killed by the Arbiter, thus ending the Covenant but his body was not brought back to life like most corpses that are infected. This may be due to the mortal wound that the Arbiter inflicted, or it could be that the prophets' frail nature does not support them being resurrected. It is worth noting that at the time of Truth's death a small flood 'popping' sound can be heard, indicating that the Arbiter's sword killed the infection form as well. (Regret, pictured right, has what seems to be a human skull assimilated into himself, just above his head and a little to the left. This may indicate other human "hosts" may have passed through the Gravemind before). | ||
