Porta

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Were you looking for Portal, the Forerunner complex?
A Porta opens for Master Chief.

The Porta[1] is a sphincter-like orifice embedded in the floors and walls of Flood hives that act as the Flood analog to doorways. Portas were sighted in the Flood-infested High Charity[2].


Trivia

  • The Porta will only open for the Master Chief and Covenant Elites, not Pure or Infection Form Flood.
  • The "Porta" was recently parodied in VG cats #240, "...gross"
  • There is also one Porta located on the Halo 3 Multiplayer map, Isolation.
  • Portas make a unique sound when they open or close.
  • Portas may or may not be the doors on High Charity, covered in Flood spore sacs.
  • Portas are constructed of 7 segments
