The '''Flood Stalk''' is a [[Flood]] structure. If it is destroyed, it releases a couple of groups of [[Infection Form|infection forms]]. It seems to consist of a few of [[Flood Growth Pods]] on a biomass stalk. Flood Stalks, like [[Flood Eggs]] are benign and only act when harmed. Unlike in the case of Flood Eggs, they will not release resources so can be ignored with no loss.

Stalks are a type of biological structure grown in areas of high Flood infestation.
