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 infector]]s to continue besieging an enemy force. If the enemy attacks, the Spawner will spawn a counter-unit that is specialized to deal with it.<ref name="Spawner"/>

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 swarm and continuously spawn [[Infection form]]s to continue besieging an enemy force, changing forms depending on the type of enemies they are faced with.{{Ref/Reuse|Spawner}}

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.

Spawners will take position in the Fog of War and begin spawning either [[Pod infector/Gameplay|Pod infectors]], [[Flood infester form|Infesters]] or [[Seeder infector]]s, depending on what is effective against the units the player is using. However, Spawners are slow, and will succumb to heavy firepower when faced with a diverse array of units.
