'''Flood growth pods''' are large, spherical collections of biomass that grow on the surfaces of ships, buildings, and other structures. They are started when mass [[The Flood|Flood]] forms enter an area, or when [[Flood spores|Flood Spores]] enter the area. They incubate developing [[Flood infection form|Infection Forms]]. They are only seen during stages of advanced [[The Flood|Flood]] infestation when a [[Gravemind]] has formed and consumed enough flesh, to support [[Flood pure form|Pure Forms]].<ref>''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[Floodgate]]'', ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''</ref> They have no forms of attacks, but if they are attacked, they explode, and release their infectious spores and their [[Flood infection form|Infection Forms]]. | '''Flood growth pods''' are large, spherical collections of biomass that grow on the surfaces of ships, buildings, and other structures.
