Unlike all other known Flood forms, proto-Graveminds are immobile and passive in combat. They have never been observed to move on their own, even when combat forms are fighting nearby. In fact, even when [[John-117]] punched through the side of the proto-Gravemind present aboard the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' during the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the Flood form did not react at all; it is likely that until the transformation into a true Gravemind is complete, proto-Graveminds are nothing more than an amalgamation of inactive bodies. Proto-Graveminds have also never been observed to keep any of their hosts' [[weapons]]. They use some of their hosts' legs as a means to support themselves, and one can see some of the bodies of the most recently assimilated, embedded in the proto-Gravemind's mass, albeit deformed. | Unlike all other known Flood forms, proto-Graveminds are immobile and passive in combat.

Proto-Graveminds are capable of jamming or distorting radio signals within a significant radius around them. The means by which they do this is unknown; however, it may be related to the unexplained telepathy the Flood use to communicate with one another. | Proto-Graveminds are capable of jamming or distorting radio signals within a significant radius around them.
