The '''launcher''' is a biological structure that the [[Flood]] use to defend their [[Flood hive|hives]].  
The '''Flood Launcher''' is a ''[[Halo Wars]]'' [[Flood]] building.<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/strategy/halowars/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-48274986&pid=935835&page=2</ref>


==Description==
==Description==
Flood launchers fire globs of Flood biomass at enemy forces, seemingly by contracting a muscle analogue and forcing the biomass through a sphincter. The biomass these structures launch sometimes manifests as a cloud of [[Flood spores]], which are invariably lethal to unprotected lifeforms. Such structures are only known to have been used during the [[Battle of the Trove|battle]] on [[Trove]] in [[2552#February|February 2531]]; at one point in the battle, several launchers prevented the evacuation of [[Alpha Platoon|Alpha]], [[Bravo Platoon|Bravo]], and [[Charlie Platoon|Charlie]] platoons to the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}.<ref>''Halo Wars'', level [[Shield World (level)|Shield World]]</ref>
Flood Launchers&nbsp;fire some form of flood biomass (which resembles a dispersal pod) out of the hole at the top of the structure at enemy forces.<ref>http://www.gametrailers.com/player/46227.html?type=</ref> In the level [[Shield World (Level)|Shield World]] from [[Halo Wars]], they are used as an anti-air unit, capable of shooting down the evac pelicans for Alpha, Bravo and Charlie Platoon.<ref>Halo Wars Mission 10</ref> Unlike other Flood building forms in Halo Wars, it can be killed completely by conventional means, instead of going into a dormant state from which it will soon recover, in both Campaign and Multiplayer.


==Gallery==
It looks very similar to the Unnamed Organic Tower-Like Form. Occasionally, the Flood Launcher's ordnance will release a cloud of [[Flood spores]]. Like most other Flood structures, the Flood Launcher is extremely resilient and difficult to defeat.

==List of appearances==
Its weapon is quite powerful and can even match a [[Locust]] in range.
