- Pestilent puppets.
- Combat forms are relatively intact sentient hosts under the control of an
- infection form that has nested within. Though sections of the host's body are
- consumed and converted into Flood cells, some limbs and sensory organs are
- retained to utilize available weapons, tools, vehicles, equipment, and even
- starships. The infection form does augment its new body and repair minor
- damage in order to better serve as a living weapon, but ultimately the combat
- form is utterly disposable.
- The infection form driving the host body does not feel pain or fear, though the
- same cannot be said for the host. Worse, in some horrific circumstances the
- infection form is unable to completely dominate the original personality and the
- victim remains fully aware of their irrevocable transformation and use as a tool
- of the parasite.
