Flood root

The Flood Root is a Halo Wars Flood static unit.

Description
The Flood Root resembles a large tentacle capable of "whipping" units that get close to it. It is perhaps the equivalent to a defensive Turret, although it is unable to attack air units and it's effective range seems quite short. When attacking, it will swipe and slam enemy infantry. In some cases it will grab a unit and lift it into the air, causing the unit to dissolve into the same matter that a Flood spore cloud is made of.
