If it has a weapon, both limbs must be removed. These forms can be used as effective shields and will often charge Covenant enemies as a distraction. | If it has a weapon, both limbs must be removed.

This bug was removed in [[Halo 2]]. Instead, removing both arms will cause the [[Infection Form]] to abandon the damaged host in search of another. Also if you have the game set on legendary and go to the level the Oracle and get to the famine skull, in that very room sometimes one of the four of the flood combat forms that are twitching gets up but does not harm as it tends to stay in the same spot not doing anything. | This bug was removed in [[Halo 2]].

But, in some rare cases, in [[Halo 3]] if they pick up a [[Gravity Hammer]] and have their tentacle arm shot off, they will act similar to the "[[Flood Buddies]]", approaching the player for a few seconds then walking away then repeating and, in some cases, attacking the player with invisible arms. Occasionally, if a Flood is not completely destroyed (i.e. all limbs removed, splattered, head removed), it will eventually get back up and keep fighting. If you kill the Flood but not the dead host (if the Flood leaves its host) it will become an open host for a new [[Flood]] to occupy. | But, in some rare cases, in [[Halo 3]] if they pick up a [[Gravity Hammer]] and have their tentacle arm shot off, they will act similar to the "[[Flood Buddies]]", approaching the player for a few seconds then walking away then repeating and, in some cases, attacking the player with invisible arms.
