'''Flood Friends''', also referred to as '''Flood Buddies''' or '''Pet Flood''', is a phenomenon found in the [[Campaign]]s of the [[Halo universe|Halo Trilogy]]. It is a design flaw that allows [[The Flood|Flood]] [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] to be made into harmless "pets" that follow the player around. Such "pets" can also be used as shields and distractions. | '''Flood Friends''', also referred to as '''Flood Buddies''' or '''Pet Flood''', is a phenomenon found in the [[Campaign]]s of the [[Halo universe|Halo Trilogy]].

When you spot a Flood combat form, shoot off its tentacled arm. If the combat form is carrying a weapon, shoot off its right arm as well. When dealing with unarmed combat forms, only the left arm must be amputated. | When you spot a Flood combat form, shoot off its tentacled arm.

In ''[[Halo 3]]'', it is possible to make a Flood Buddy in the same way as in ''Halo 2'' - by shooting off the tentacled appendage of any [[Flood combat form|combat form]] that is not carrying a weapon.

The combat form will charge at you, but cannot harm you unless it pushes you off a ledge.

You must leave any weapon near it that it cannot use due to not having an animation for it, such as a [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]]. Leaving a weapon near a body will seem to attract an Pod infector to the body, as it would have a means of hurting the player. Once the body is alive again, it will follow you around like a normal Flood Friend, but it cannot hurt you as it doesn't have an animation to attack with the [[Type-2 Energy Weapon/Hammer|Gravity Hammer]]. | ||
