Nightmare birthing chambers.

Spawners are pure forms that gestate new infection forms in their diseased

brood sacs, releasing swarms of new parasites. Spawners are an example of

Flood adaptation, a war-form created specifically to counter the defensive

measures of the Ark and Banished.

Highly mobile and capable of independent action, these creatures venture out

from High Charity to spread the Flood deep into nearby refugia. Most pockets of

Flood infestation Spawners establish will be detected and quickly destroyed,

but time and probability is on the parasite's side.

The Spawner lurks at the rear of Flood assaults, spawning waves of infection

forms. Spawners must be quickly dealt with, or they will continue to create

Flood attack forces just outside the range of base defenses.
