| |
| The '''Feral Stage''' is the first phase of a [[Flood]] outbreak.<ref>[[Bestiarum]]</ref> In this state, the [[Flood]] operates in a very aggressive manner, and their expansion depends on finding sentient life forms. Victims become hosts to the [[Infection Forms]], and are mutated into [[Combat Forms]]. During this period of time, the [[Flood]] attacks with little to no strategy, seeming to focus primarily on consumption of intelligent beings and thus expanding their own forces.

| As was witnessed during the events of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and depicted in the Halo Graphic Novel, [[the Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]<ref>[[Halo Graphic Novel]]</ref>, at some point during the Feral Stage, the [[Flood]] begin to collectively shift their objective. When this happens, [[Combat Forms]] will work together to accumulate the biomass of both parasites and uninfected sentient beings, allowing a series of widespread chemical reactions to occur across the reserves of calcium and flesh they’ve collected, eventually creating what is known as a [[Proto-Gravemind]]. Once a Proto-Gravemind has consumed enough corpses and becomes a full grown [[Gravemind]], the infection can proceed into the [[Coordinated Stage]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *This stage was the first to be encountered by the [[Forerunner]], although that fated meeting quickly led to the Flood expanding into its Coordinated Stage.
| |
| *This is most likely the stage the [[Flood]] encountered during [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] and [[Halo Wars]] were in.
