'''Prophet Form''' is a term fans have created to describe the [[Covenant]] [[Prophets]] that have been infected and overtaken by the [[Flood]]. Due to their unusual nature, they are not thought of as [[Combat Forms]] in the way infected [[Humans]], [[Brutes]] and [[Elites]] are. | '''Prophet Form''' is a term fans have created to describe the [[Covenant]] [[Prophets]] that have been infected and overtaken by the [[Flood]].

It is also worth noting that all "Prophet | It is also worth noting that all "Prophet Forms" seen had only just been infected, and may not have been assimilated in the conventional way. The only Prophets to be seen being taken by an Infection Form were the Prophet Hierarchs: the [[Prophet of Regret|Regret]], [[Prophet of Mercy|Mercy]] and [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]]. However, [[Master Chief]] removed the Infection Form from Mercy, killing him, and Truth was killed by the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'' before the Infection Form could complete the infection process, but Regret became one with the [[Gravemind]]. | ||

The biggest difference between the Prophet Form and that of the conventional [[Combat Form]], is that Prophet Forms seen thus far have maintained their personalities to an extent. Combat forms are subjected completely, to the control of the Infection Form within them and generally display none of the former personality traits of their hosts. On the other hand, infected Prophets have demonstrated the ability to act the same way that they did before they were assimilated. As the Prophet species are considerably weaker and more frail than many other Covenant species, the Prophet would not be a suitable creature to create a Combat form. | The biggest difference between the Prophet Form and that of the conventional [[Combat Form]], is that Prophet Forms seen thus far have maintained their personalities to an extent.

Four Prophet Forms have been encountered in the Halo universe, each having radically different personalities. The Prophet of Regret, after being infected by the Flood, appeared to maintain his previous personality, almost oblivious to the fact that he had been assimilated. This could be either because he was still partially alive, or because the Gravemind was merely controlling him like a puppet. | Four Prophet Forms have been encountered in the ''Halo'' universe, each having radically different personalities.

The [[Minister of Etiology]], on the other hand, was completely unlike his previous self. He acted as a spokesperson for the Flood, even taunting [[Rtas 'Vadum]] by asking him what chance he had of defeating them when the Forerunners were utterly incapable of doing so. | The [[Minister of Etiology]], on the other hand, was completely unlike his previous self.
