From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
< Phoenix Logs | Flood Units
- Anti-vehicle war-forms.
- The Infester is a pure form that specializes in cracking open vehicles and
- converting their crew into Flood-controlled puppets. A purpose-built biological
- weapon, Infesters expend all of their energy on the attack, collapsing in a dying
- heap and spreading spores upon the completion of their singular task.
- The Infester is adapted to the task of countering and subverting armored
- vehicles used by the UNSC and Banished. Though they can attack infantry and
- structures with barbed tentacles, their goal is to hunt manned vehicles. When
- they detect mechanized prey, the Infester grabs onto it with their tentacles
- and bores into the hull to reach the crew. This process can be interrupted,
- similar to the Hijack ability. if the infestation is successful, however, the vehicle
- is infected and the Infester dies.
