Halo 3 :what do you call the tiny flood?

[bad mad]

i have heard them called spores, b****es and even eggnog
what do you call them?

 

[Same River New Water]

Technically "spores" are the airborne microorganisms that infect victims through contact with the skin/lungs, as with a normal bacterial disease. What you're talking about is listed in Halopedia as simply "Infection Form" [http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Flood_Infection_Form], with no alternative name offered. (I call them suckers.)

Don't thank me: thank Google.

Infection Forms

 

[Dudemeister]

A bunch of c**ts

 

[Shushyne4np2ne]

I call them scrotals. Don't ask why.

 

[the jellyman]

little bobbly things. I also call them melon beasts, because they look sort of melonish.

 

[Zeushbien]

Nothing, I just shoot the little bastards.

 

[Dommyboy]

Infectors.

 

[ThePoodonkis]

I call them jellyfish-things.
Or demon-boogers.

 

[jebussaves88]

Spores is the actual term I believe. I tend to abbreviate to "little fuckers".

 

[Anton P. Nym]

"Infection Forms", if I'm talking about them. "Nuissances", if I'm shooting at them.

The official term for them, used in all Halo media (novels, graphic novels, games, Bungie website, etc.) is Infection forms, or Pure Flood as this is their true form. The larger ones with weapons are called Combat forms, and are the effect of an Infection form taking over a host's body. The fat explosive ones are Carrier forms which are created when you leave a Combat form for too long and it evolves to become an incubator, containing more Infection Forms. Simple really.

EDIT: When fighting them I usually call them little bastards, just as I call the flying Drones of the Covenant 'buggers'.

 

[wewontdie11]

I call them "floodlets" or "AAAAAHHH GET OFF ME YOU LITTLE GITS!".

 

[Kabutos]

My friends and I call them Mushrooms.

 

[Deschamps]

Popcorn Flood

I chuckled.

I just call them "those little things"
