-==Appearance==
+The '''"tadpole"''' is a [[Flood]] organism encountered by a [[Covenant]] [[Covenant Special Operations|special operations]] team in the [[Forerunner]] [[threshold gas mine|gas mine]] in the atmosphere of [[Threshold]]. They were sealed in a tank of liquid in the research area of the facility.<ref name="onefinaleffort">[https://web.archive.org/web/20141013170306/http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=25650'''Bungie.net''': ''One Final Effort (4/16/2010)'']</ref><ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Oracle]]''</ref> The form is somewhat similar in appearance to the [[Pod infector]], albeit smaller and slightly different in shape; true to its nickname, it has been implied that they are an earlier stage in the Pod infector's development.{{Ref/Reuse|onefinaleffort}}
-The Water Form is similar in appearance to the [[Infection Form]] seen throughout the Halo Series.
-==Trivia==
+==History==
-*[[Bungie]] jokingly referred to this form as a "Flood Sea Monkey" in a [http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=25650 Halo 2 memorial article].
+===Forerunner storage===
-*During the game's development, [[Vic DeLeon]] "broke" the Water Forms, making them float all around the room.
+The ancient [[Forerunners]] held "tadpoles" in containment facilities. [[343 Guilty Spark]] notably flew by one on [[Installation 04]].
+===Human-Covenant War===
+During the great war, [[Special Operations Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] and his [[Covenant Special Operations]] task force stumbled across dozens of "tadpoles" swimming in a tank inside the [[Threshold gas mine]], reminding him of a [[Flood|stench]] he had smelled before.
+==Production notes==
+*The forms have never been given a formal name in any official source. [[Bungie]] level environment artist [[David Dunn]] used the descriptor "tadpole" to refer to them, and during the development of ''[[Halo 2]]'', they were affectionately known as "Flood sea monkeys".{{Ref/Reuse|onefinaleffort}} This nickname was carried over to the ''Halo 2'' game files, in which the creature's model and texture are identified with the designator "flood_cmonkey".<ref>'''Halo 2''' game files</ref>
+*During the game's development, [[Vic DeLeon]] "broke" the forms, making them float all around the room.{{Ref/Reuse|onefinaleffort}}
