*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". | *The forms have never been given a formal name in any official source.
