'''Flood growth pods''' are large, spherical collections of biomass that grow on the surfaces of ships, buildings, and other structures. They are started when mass [[The Flood|Flood]] forms enter an area, or when [[Flood spores|Flood Spores]] enter the area. They incubate developing [[Flood infection form|Infection Forms]]. They are only seen during stages of advanced [[The Flood|Flood]] infestation when a [[Gravemind]] has formed and consumed enough flesh, to support [[Flood pure form|Pure Forms]].<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Floodgate]]'', ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''</ref> They have no forms of attacks, but if they are attacked, they explode, and release their infectious spores and their [[Flood infection form|Infection Forms]].

They are first seen in ''[[Halo 2]]'', during the Flood Invasion of ''[[High Charity]]'', though it was only at development stage. Later, in ''[[Halo 3]]'', it was encountered more in the [[Campaign]] levels [[Floodgate]] and [[Cortana (level)|Cortana]], and in the multiplayer maps [[Isolation]] and [[Cold Storage]], though the multiplayer pods do not release Infection Forms.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]''</ref>

*On [[Cold Storage]], it can be seen that they adhere to surfaces using suction-cup-like appendages.

*If a pod carries enough Infection Forms, then each individual flood can be seen on your [[Motion sensor|Motion Sensor]]. Try to stay away from '''those''' pods.
