====Spartan form====

Following the war, Spartans train in [[War Games]] combat simulations that feature Spartan attacker forms, the appearances of which may be based on conjecture or on information from actual encounters.<ref name="H4Flood">''[[Halo 4]]'', multiplayer - [[Flood (gametype)|Flood]] gamemode</ref><ref name="H2AInf">''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]'', multiplayer - [[Infection]] game mode</ref> Some Spartan attacker forms, as simulated in War Games, feature a pincer-like, bladed appendage in place of their right arm, while the left leg is similarly deformed. Exposed parts of the body are covered with what appear to be calcareous plates, and red "muscle" tissue can be seen in the gaps between the plates. A large hump or tumor-like growth on the back is apparent and the head is disfigured with a grotesque smile-like expression. Notably, none of the typical sensory tendrils can be seen protruding from the body, perhaps indicating a different means of infection rather than by pod infector. Although most of the Spartan's armor is discarded, the components responsible for generating the energy shield are retained.{{Ref/Reuse|H4Flood}} War Games simulations have also depicted infected Spartans as featuring mostly intact armor plating except for the neck and head region, where the helmet is cracked and the remains of the victim's skull are visible. These infected Spartans have large a growth around their head, with their jaws dislocated to allow the emergence of sensory tendrils.{{Ref/Reuse|H2AInf}} Other War Games simulations have depicted infected Spartans as retaining virtually all of their armor, with biomass taking over various armor components and also breaking through the armor in certain places such as the helmet and chestpiece.{{Ref/Game|Id=HIFlood|HINF|Detail=Flood armor customization}}
