Spores serve as the most basic form of Flood encountered in a given [[Flood outbreak|outbreak]]. They are comprised of [[Flood Super Cell]]s (FSCs) which have encysted themselves to form a chitinous outer layer. This layer protects the cells inside, and allows the spore to float in the air and with the breeze and remain dormant in a given environment for centuries at a time.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p404}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} The exterior is additionally covered with bulbous growths and ragged spines, which can be crushed if grabbed.{{Ref/Novel|SoI}} However, the shape of spores can be variable, allowing them to shape their form to accommodate their environment.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} | Spores serve as the most basic form of Flood encountered in a given [[Flood outbreak|outbreak]].
