Flood bomber form

The  Flood Bomber Form  is a airborne Flood form and a Halo Wars Flood unit. It attacks by dropping Flood Growth Pods full of Infection Forms on enemies. It is usualy spawned through either a flood den, vent or colony.

Appearance
The Bomber Form appears to have an abdomen similar to the head of a Flood Carrier Form, and this is likely where they incubate their Infection Forms. It is also probably where they hold whatever keeps them in the air, probably a lighter-than-air gas, similar to Huragok. The front has a face-shaped appendage with two empty eye-holes. Because most Flood forms do not use eyes, but instead the sensory 'legs' on the end of the Infection Forms, to move around, it is likely this is a natural creature to the Shield World which has been taken over by the flood and turned into a floating carrier. It is likely it was a floating creature already. Although there are many rumors, it cannot be an infected Huragok as Huragok are artificially created. It has two arm-like tentacles coming from the sack on either side of the 'head', and many tentacle-like appendages coming from the 'mouth'.

Trivia

 * The Pain Train skull on the Halo Wars level Beachhead requires the player to kill 10 of these forms.
 * In an issue of GamePro it was mentioned that there would be a second flying flood incarnation besides flood swarm forms ( the bomber forms) and there is also a picture of the bomber form and GamePro said that they didn't know what it was.
