Rarely seen in actual combat situations, infected Unggoy and Kig-Yar are more commonly converted into carrier forms or processed for their biomass.<ref group="notes">While no canon source ever ''denied'' it was possible for Unggoy or Kig-Yar to be converted, it was widely believed that they were unsuitable for conversion due to their small size and an assumed lack of sufficient calcium stores. Instead of using Unggoy and Kig-yar as combat forms, the Flood typically uses them as a type of 'nucleus' that a carrier form would grow around. The two species had originally been intended by Bungie to become combat forms, but limitations in resources and staff at the time of the formative years of the franchise led to the introduction into the fiction of the Unggoy's and Kig-yar's supposed unsuitable status as combat forms. They would also serve as building blocks for a Gravemind. It wasn't until the release of ''Halo Wars'' that they were formally implemented in-game.</ref> These "building blocks" can be used to add to a Gravemind's superstructure or be molded into Flood pure forms.
