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.
