A '''porta'''<ref>'''[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]''', ''page 99''</ref> is a sphincter-like orifice embedded into the floors and walls of [[Flood hive]]s that acts as the [[Flood]] analog to [[Door|doorways]]. Portas were sighted in the Flood-infested ''[[High Charity]]''<ref name="cort">'''[[Halo 3]]''', [[campaign]] level ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''</ref> and on the [[Flood den]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref>

*On the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map ''[[Isolation]]'', there is one Porta. Sliding down a hole on the top part of the map will lead the player to slide down a tube. A Porta will open, leading into a Flood-infested cave.

*There is a running joke among gamers that the Portas are the Gravemind's intestinal openings, due to their sphincter-like appearance.{{Citation needed}}
