A Gravemind is comprised of a combination of pure [[Flood Super Cell]]s and the neural networks of the sentient beings absorbed within.{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}} Although its consciousness is distributed throughout all Flood forms in range, a Gravemind is typically, if not always, centralized within a large "body" of Flood tissue derived from the initial proto-Gravemind. In most cases, this body is a shapeless, amorphous mass, typically with numerous tentacles that can reach many miles in length depending on the size of the Gravemind. The Gravemind can rearrange this body as it wishes; during the Flood invasion of ''[[High Charity]]'' during the Human-Covenant War, the Gravemind leading the assault transplanted itself into the station and almost completely engulfed it, converting itself and the station into a Flood hive. As the development of a Gravemind progresses, it will sometimes shed dead biomass to alter its anatomy to a desired shape.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 209''</ref> | A Gravemind is comprised of a combination of pure [[Flood Super Cell]]s and the neural networks of the sentient beings absorbed within.{{Ref/Reuse|bestiarum}} Although its consciousness is distributed throughout all Flood forms in range, a Gravemind is typically, if not always, centralized within a large "body" of Flood tissue derived from the initial proto-Gravemind.
