Flood tank form: Difference between revisions

The Tank Form is similar in appearance to the [[Drinol]], and may have been inspired conceptually by the deleted Covenant race. There is also a notable similarity between the roles of the Tank Form and of the Covenant [[Hunter]], and is often mistaken as an infected version of a hunter, however that is impossible [[Hunter#Anatomy_and_Physiology|seen here]]. It is speculated to be a revised form of the [[Flood Juggernaut]]. Tank Forms are slow in comparison to the other Combat Forms but they make up for it with relative resilience and their devastating melee attack as they cannot pick up or use weapons with their arms that are shaped into hardened spikes (as opposed to whip-like tentacles exhibited by other Combat Forms). The Tank form is generally rather slow, but can run on all fours for a short period, allowing a burst of speed to overtake a target.  On occasion these large combat forms eject Infection Forms from their 'mouth' as if regurgitating them (not explosively like the Flood Carrier Forms and possibly only on harder difficulties) as a form of short ranged attack, or an attack to counteract [[Bubble shield|bubble shields]].  Like all of the Pure Forms, The Tank forms cannot be dismembered, only disabled.
