The first recorded proto-Gravemind was discovered on the surface planet of the Forerunner [[Shield World]] [[Etran Harborage]] during a massive Flood outbreak in [[2531]]. Judging by its huge size and its connection to several [[Flood Colony|Flood colonies]], it is likely that this Proto-Gravemind was on the verge of becoming a Gravemind. This Proto-Gravemind was destroyed by UNSC forces led by [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] and Spartan [[Red Team]]. It had been duplicating Professor [[Ellen Anders]]' transponder signal to lure in the UNSC forces and infect them. After the Proto-Gravemind was destroyed, the ''Spirit of Fire's'' forces were able to detect Anders' real signal<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[ | The first recorded proto-Gravemind was discovered on the surface planet of the Forerunner [[Shield World]] [[Etran Harborage]] during a massive Flood outbreak in [[2531]].

During the Battle of Installation 04, John-117 found a Proto-Gravemind aboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. It is possible that the Proto-Gravemind would have allowed the Flood to use the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' to spread beyond Alpha Halo. This Proto-Gravemind assimilated [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] and attempted to learn from him the coordinates of [[Earth]]. Keyes fought with every ounce of willpower he had to prevent the Flood from gaining this information, burying the knowledge deep down within him and forcing the Proto-Gravemind to systematically discard every other memory he possessed. [[John-117]] arrived at the Proto-Gravemind just before the Flood form was about to finally extract the memory it wanted, and punched through the Captain's skull in order to retrieve his [[neural implants]], thereby robbing the Proto-Gravemind of the knowledge of Earth's location for good. The Proto-Gravemind was destroyed shortly thereafter by the [[Covenant]] Special Ops as it was no longer present when human forces captured the ship.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', level ''[[Keyes]]''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''</ref> | During the Battle of Installation 04, John-117 found a Proto-Gravemind aboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''.
