Primordial: Difference between revisions

The precise origins of the Primordial remain unclear. It is known that following their defeat at the hands of the Forerunners, many of the remaining Precursors transmuted themselves into organic particles that would re-constitute their original forms at a later time. Over the millions of years that followed the Precursors' fall, this powder degraded and became defective; instead of re-forming the Precursors' original bodies, it instead resulted in misshapen life-forms that ravenously assimilated biomatter they came in contact with - the earliest stages of the Flood parasite. It appears likely that the Primordial was one of these mutated Precursors, having failed to reconstitute itself properly and instead having transformed into a parasitic monstrosity - one of the first Graveminds.
