The '''Seeder Infector'''<ref name="SeederInfectors">'''Halo Wars 2''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - Seeder Infectors</ref> is a type of [[Flood]] [[Flood infector form|infection form]]. Seeder infectors are employed by the Flood as lighter-than-air forms that swim through the sky and attack aircraft. Seeder infectors can infect aircraft and convert them to Flood use, but are also capable of spitting bone fragments of their victims at enemy targets.<ref name="SeederInfectors"/>
'''Seeders''' are a kind of [[Infection form]] in the life cycle of the [[Flood]] parasite.{{Ref/Game|Id=SeederInfectors|HW2|Phoenix Logs|Detail=Seeder Infectors}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=407}}
 
==Overview==
Following the establishment of a self-sufficient [[Flood hive]], the infestation begins to spawn more specialised kinds of infection form suited for niche roles and environments that are beyond the purview of the standard [[pod infector]]s. The seeders serve as lighter-than-air airborne Flood forms, capable of "swimming" through the sky to hunt airborne prey and coordinate strikes against ground forces. They typically tend to gather into large swarms capable of defending the Flood's [[Blightlands|territory]] by means of blocking access of the skies to aircraft{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}} - seeder infectors can infect aircraft and convert them to Flood use, but are also capable of spitting bone fragments of their victims at enemy targets.{{Ref/Reuse|SeederInfectors}}


==History==
==History==
Seeder infectors were encountered by [[UNSC]] and [[Banished]] forces during the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]].
Seeders were used by the Flood ''en masse'' during the [[Outbreak on Installation 00]], in mid-[[2559]]. During the conflict, they saw action against the forces of the [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Banished]].{{Ref/Game|HW2|Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare|Awakening the Nightmare}}

===''Halo Wars 2''===
Seeders are the aerial equivalent of the land-bound [[Flood infester form]] as they are both primarily meant to infect enemy vehicles. Seeders, however, differ slightly with the abovementioned ability to also attack ground infantry with bone fragments. Nevertheless, Seeders are incredibly vulnerable and must rely on numbers and speed to remain effective.
