The new form assumed by the Didact near the end of the Forerunner-Flood war, caused by a failed attempt to decipher Flood immunity,{{Ref/Reuse|h4terminals}} had a more grotesque, bestial appearance, with more pronounced facial features, much less prominent lips and the addition of large fangs. His eyes also became more deep-set and red as opposed to the original grayish blue, and his fur changed from pale blue to dark brown.{{Ref/Reuse|h4}} | The new form assumed by the Didact near the end of the Forerunner-Flood war, caused by a failed attempt to decipher Flood immunity,{{Ref/Reuse|h4terminals}} had a more grotesque, bestial appearance, with more pronounced facial features, much less prominent lips and the addition of large fangs.

The Didact's original [[Forerunner personal armor|body-assist armor]] complied with Warrior-Servant tradition in both design and coloration; bearing the mottled gray and blue colors of a Warrior-Servant,<ref name="pri339">'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 339''</ref> the suit was, despite its wearer's lofty status, considered austere in contrast to more lavishly decorated armor worn by the Builders.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 81-82''</ref> Circa 100,000 BCE, the Didact began wearing a new [[combat skin]] upon his return to Nomdagro.{{Ref/Reuse|string12}} The Didact continued to wear this armor until the suit's apparent destruction in 2557.{{Ref/Reuse|HE10}} In stark contrast to his prior armor, the Didact's newer suit is prominently ornamented in contrast to more subdued armor usually worn by his rate. It is composed a number of silver armor sections with complex patterns of orange light. The bodysuit, which spontaneously adheres to the body,{{Ref/Reuse|H4EVG}} is colored black and dark red, resulting in an appearance similar to exposed musculature. The helmet of this armor suit appears to be modeled after a skull, with orange "eyes" rather than a visor, as well as a small breathing port on the nose.{{Ref/Reuse|h4}} | The Didact's original [[Forerunner personal armor|body-assist armor]] complied with Warrior-Servant tradition in both design and coloration; bearing the mottled gray and blue colors of a Warrior-Servant,<ref name="pri339">'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 339''</ref> the suit was, despite its wearer's lofty status, considered austere in contrast to more lavishly decorated armor worn by the Builders.<ref>'''Halo: Cryptum''', ''page 81-82''</ref> Circa 100,000 BCE, the Didact began wearing a new [[combat skin]] upon his return to Nomdagro.{{Ref/Reuse|string12}} The Didact continued to wear this armor until the suit's apparent destruction in 2557.{{Ref/Reuse|HE10}} In stark contrast to his prior armor, the Didact's newer suit is prominently ornamented in contrast to more subdued armor usually worn by his rate.
