'''Pure Forms''', also rendered ''' | '''Pure Forms''', also rendered '''Hitler Forms''',<ref>''[[Halo: The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds]]'', ''pages 102-103''</ref> are an advanced type of [[Flood]] form. They are only produced during the Coordinated Stage of Flood development, and are not created by infecting a host. | ||
==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Unlike "conventional" Flood forms such as Combat and Carrier Forms, Pure Forms are not the product of infecting a sentient host, but are instead composed entirely of converted Flood biomass. Tissue from consumed victims is transformed into Flood Super Cells, which are then attached to a framework of recast bone modified for the Flood's purposes. The resulting Flood form is capable of mutating between 3 (possibly more) different forms depending upon the necessities of combat. | Unlike "conventional" Flood forms such as Combat and Carrier Forms, Pure Forms are not the product of infecting a sentient host, but are instead composed entirely of converted Flood biomass, they are essentially the 'perfect' flood race and the stalker body actually looks like a swastika.

Pure Forms can only be produced when a Flood outbreak has amassed considerable amounts of biomass and formed a Gravemind. Once this threshold is reached, the Pure Forms provide combat support to the other Flood forms the Flood has at its disposal. | Pure Forms can only be produced when a Flood outbreak has amassed considerable amounts of biomass and formed a Gravemind.
