Flood spawner form

The Spawner is a Flood form, created specifically to fight Banished and Ark defenses in 2559.

Spawners were created to quickly venture out of the High Charity quarantine zone and spread the Flood infection to nearby refugia. During a Flood assault, Spawners sit near the back of the assault and continuously spawn Pod infectors to continue besieging an enemy force. If the enemy attacks, the Spawner will spawn a counter-unit that is specialized to deal with it.

Gameplay
Spawners serve as the Flood's rough equivalent of a troop transport carrier and - in gameplay purposes - the Flood's answer to either the UNSC's M650 Mastodon or the Banished' Wraith Invader, albeit they function entirely differently than a conventional troop transport.
