Flood blister: Difference between revisions

'''Flood blisters'''<ref name="Phoenix">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - Flood blister</ref> also referred to as '''Flood Eggs'''<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref> or '''Flood Growth Pods'''<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]'''</ref> are large, bulbous Flood growths that form on walls and floors, and particularly on surfaces covered with Flood biomatter. They are only seen during advanced stages of [[Flood]] infestation, when a [[Gravemind]] has formed and consumed enough flesh to create a [[Flood hive]] and support [[Flood pure form|Pure Forms]].<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Floodgate]]'', ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''</ref> They have no means of defense, but if ruptured, they explode and release their infectious [[spore|spores]] and their [[Pod infector|Infection Forms]]. Non-sentient animals or corpses not harnessed for [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] are seeded with Flood cells and transformed into infection form-filled sacs. These diseased growths are one of the most pernicious aspects of the Flood, and a single spore could potentially transform an entire planet's biosphere into quivering masses of diseased mucus and bile if left unchecked.<ref name="Phoenix"/>
