Proto-Graveminds are a coagulation of multiple other [[Flood]] forms all merged together. It appears that when an advanced task is at hand for the Flood, such as piloting a [[starship]], they will create a Proto-Gravemind to do that task by merging together as many hosts as possible with that knowledge, such as former pilots and officers. Rather than completely destroying a victim's consciousness, as a normal Flood form generally does, it interrogates its victims slowly, allowing their consciousnesses to feed it information. The form tortures the host's mind with a loud buzzing sound, thus erasing all thought. However, only then does the host's life signal die out. It can be argued that the host does not die until that occurs, even though he/she is infected. (thus presenting a possible moral dilemma in killing them) | Proto-Graveminds are a coagulation of multiple other [[Flood]] forms all merged together.

While [[Combat Forms]] can easily, albeit clumsily, pilot smaller vehicles like [[Warthog]]s, [[Scorpion Tank|Scorpion]]s, [[Wraiths]] and [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]], Proto-Graveminds are needed for larger vehicles such as a spaceship. | ||
