*'''[[Mendicant Bias]]''', a Forerunner AI charged with studying the Flood, was eventually corrupted by a [[Gravemind]] and confirmed rampant. He commanded Flood [[Fleet]]s against the Forerunner until he was defeated by another AI, [[Offensive Bias]], who split his Compound Mind into fragments. One fragment made it to the Ark and another was put on a [[Keyship]]. Mendicant Bias' keyship was discovered by the [[San 'Shyuum]] and it kept in the ship until [[2525]], when it detected [[Reclaimer]]s. Having approximately 100,000 years in isolation, Mendicant Bias returned itself to a stable state, and later even assisted the Reclaimers against the Flood during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in [[2553]]<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'' ''[[ | *'''[[032 Mendicant Bias]]''', a Forerunner AI charged with studying the Flood, was eventually corrupted by a [[Gravemind]] and confirmed rampant.

*'''[[ | *'''[[343 Guilty Spark]]''', the [[monitor]] of [[Installation 04]] and [[Installation 04B|its replacement]], went rampant and was subsequently destroyed during the [[Battle of Installation 00]] in 2553. When it was discovered that the Ark was automatically constructing a [[Installation 04B|replacement Installation]] to rebuild Installation 04 (lost in the [[Battle of Installation 04]]), Spark agreed with human forces that activating the ring was a good idea. However, when they decided to activate Installation 04B before it was fully constructed, Spark went rampant, knowing it would be destroyed and probably damage the Ark. He proceeded to attack the humans in the [[Control Room]], killing [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Major Avery Johnson]]. He was then destroyed by the [[John-117|Master Chief]]. It was probable that Spark was already in the first stage of rampancy before attacking humans. Evidence was because he had existed for a long period of time, and had witnessed the destruction of Installation 04 in the hands of a [[Reclaimer]]. He was known to hum absent-mindedly, even in the heat of battle. When the humans decided to fire the ring under construction, Spark felt it had been "pushed too far", falling into the second phase of rampancy, becoming a threat to beings around it.<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', level [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]]</ref> | ||
*'''[[2401 Penitent Tangent]]''' may be in the early stages of Rampancy, considering the fact that he makes similar humming to 343 Guilty Spark on the map [[Backwash]]. Rampancy may be the reason for his neglect of proper maintenance on [[Installation 05]], resulting in Flood infestation on the ring as they escaped containment. He is no longer a threat, however, as he was captured by the Gravemind some time afterward. | *'''[[2401 Penitent Tangent]]''' may be in the early stages of Rampancy, considering the fact that he makes similar humming to 343 Guilty Spark on the map [[Backwash]].
