The Spawner is a Flood form, created specifically to fight Banished and Ark defenses in 2559.[1]

Overview

Help.png This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

Spawners were created to quickly venture out of the High Charity quarantine zone and spread the Flood infection to nearby refugia. During a Flood assault, Spawners sit near the back of the swarm and continuously spawn Infection forms to continue besieging an enemy force, changing forms depending on the type of enemies they are faced with.[1]

Gameplay

Help.png This section needs expansion. You can help Halopedia by expanding it.

Spawners serve as the Flood's rough equivalent of a troop transport carrier and - in gameplay purposes - the Flood's answer to either the UNSC's M650 Mastodon or the Banished's Wraith Invader, although they function differently than a conventional troop transport.

Spawners will take position in the Fog of War and begin spawning either Pod infectors, Infesters or Seeder infectors, depending on what is effective against the units the player is using. However, Spawners are slow, and will succumb to heavy firepower when faced with a diverse array of units.
