Carrier forms perpetuate the Flood species by acting as mobile incubators for newly created Pod infectors. If potential hosts are detected, the Flood form will simply waddle within range of them, throw itself on the ground, and expand its incubation sac with gases until it explodes. This detonation scatters the Pod infectors and can injure or kill potential hosts, with the explosion being comparable to that of a [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|fragmentation grenade]]. Early sightings state that the carrier form can produce short bursts of speed once it spots a target. Later sightings claim they can also jump. | Carrier forms perpetuate the Flood species by acting as mobile incubators for newly created Pod infectors.
