Proto-Gravemind: Difference between revisions

The Proto-Gravemind must grow incredibly in size to reach its next stage of evolution, known as a [[Gravemind]], a near-omniscient [[Flood]] form made of thousands of host bodies infused with the knowledge of each host that was used to make the Gravemind. <ref>''[[The Art of Halo]]''</ref> Graveminds are created once a Proto-Gravemind reaches a certain "critical mass" and develops a centralized intelligence. This happens only on extremely rare occasions, usually because the [[Flood]] is seldom loose on a large enough scale to allow Proto-Graveminds to grow large enough to become a [[Gravemind]]. Only two Graveminds are known to have ever been created, however they seem to have the same memories since the ''[[Halo 2]]'' Gravemind knew about the history before the Halo array was first activated. This seems to show that each Gravemind inherits the knowledge and memory that the others have obtained. However, many Proto-Graveminds have been seen, although only two in game. Its also safe to assume that the [[Forerunners]] had to deal with numerous Graveminds.
