When it reaches a certain critical mass, it develops a centralized intelligence. It is the Flood personality and leader, and carries with it the genetic memory garnered from millennium of feasting and slumber, making it virtually omniscient. Since the intent of a Gravemind is to consume and absorb every sentient creature in the Galaxy, it is the collection of fallen Flood and other lifeforms.<ref>''[[The Art of Halo]]'', page 56</ref> The Gravemind has complete control over other forms of Flood and can even speak through the [[Pure Forms]] and even some [[Combat Forms]], using this ability to taunt its enemies. The Gravemind produces quadrillions of flood spores. | The '''Gravemind''' <ref>[[High Charity (Level)]], Cortana: "Flood controlled dropships are touching down all over the city!

Only one Gravemind is known | Only one Gravemind is known to have infested our galaxy before the Gravemind that appeared in ''[[Halo 2]]''. The first was stopped by the [[The_Halos#History|first activation of the Halo rings]], by the [[Forerunners]]. There are possibilities that there are more Graveminds on the other Installations, though this has not yet been confirmed. | ||
