#Lambent gears of war series

The Flood Combat Form for superior weaponry (see below), and the ability for any Combat form to use any weapon of any race that has ever been infected by the Flood.Д¬arrier forms look like literally like 'sacks on legs', and that is about what they are. The Lambent Locusts, like all Lambent, explode when killed. Lambent Locust tend to behave in manner similar to their uninfected counterparts, only acting hostile to both humans and locusts. The Lambent are Locust that have been exposed to emulsion for long period of time. Flood Combat forms are most easily killed by targetting the Infection Form portruding from their chest, although severe damage to other areas can also kill them. Flood Combat Forms are often seen attacking in large groups, often in conjunction with other Flood Forms. Because of the hive-mind nature of the Flood, any combat form is capable of wielding the weapons, driving the vehicles, or even piloting aircraft and spacecraft of any race. The Combat Form looks like a grotesque corruption of whatever species it once was, including humans, Sanghieli (Elites), Jiralhanae (Brutes), and Forerunners can all be converted into Combat forms. The Combat Form is a the result of a Flood Infection Form taking over the body of an individual of any species of sufficient mass and cognitive capabilities. The Lambent Polyp for its greater versatility. Polyps attack in groups, and are capable of attacking with their claws, self destructing and exploding near and enemies feet, spitting noxious fluids at their enemies or spreading the infection in a manner that involves attaching themselves to the host's back. The Polyp is a form of Lambent similar in appearance to a large crab. Individually, Infection Forms are easily dispatched with firearms or even melee weapons, however, Infection Forms tend to attack their targets in large swarms (earning the species the name 'The Flood'), overwhelming their target and burrowing into its chest and injecting Flood DNA, taking complete control of the host and causing them to mutate into a horrifically distorted version of their former self. The Infection Form of the Flood is a round bodied creature that crawls along on tentacles. Images of the forms can be seen in the galleries next to the main entries above. This device emits a pulse of energy that does not harm humans, but instantly kills both Locust and Lambent.Д«oth the Flood and the Lambent come in a number of different forms, which are compared below. In the end, both the Locust and the Lambent were destroyed by a device built by Adam Fenix, father of Marcus Fenix. The Lambent managed to drive the Locust out of their underground homes and took over much of the surface of Sera. When killed, Lambent will explode violently.

The Lambent are characterized, as their name suggests, by their glowing appearance. The Lambent appear to be intent on either infecting or killing anything that is not one of them, be it human or Locust. The Lambent are creatures created by a parasitic organism in a fuel known as Imulsion found on the planet of Sera. The Flood was finally defeated when John-117 destroyed the Flood-infested 'Ark'. The Flood would later be unleashed again on a second Halo ring and 'The Ark', this time in a more advanced state led by a hivemind known as 'The Gravemind'. The Flood threat was destroyed when UNSC SPARTAN John-117 destroyed the Halo ring by detonating the fusion reactors of a destroyed UNSC starship. The Covenant unintentionally released Flood specimens kept in stasis on the ring, which quickly killed or assimilated most of the UNSC and Covenant troops on 'Halo'. The Flood would be unleashed again when both the United Nations Space Command and their enemies, a coalition of alien races known as the Covenant Empire stumbled across one of the rings.

The Forerunners activated a series of weapons of mass destruction on a galactic scale located on ring-shaped artificial worlds that would later become known as 'Halos', destroying both the Flood, themselves, and any other sentient life in the galaxy, save for those species kept in an extragalactic artificial world known as 'The Ark'. The Flood has been present in the Milky Way galaxy for at least 100,000 years, when they fought a destructive war with an advanced ancient alien race known as 'the Forerunners'. The Flood is an alien parasite, possibly of extragalactic origin.
