Flood pure form

The pure form is an advanced Flood form created during the Coordinated Stage of Flood development.
== Overview ==
Unlike the more "conventional" Flood forms such as combat and carrier forms, pure forms are not the product of infecting a sentient host, but are instead composed entirely of converted Flood biomass. Tissue from consumed victims is transformed into Flood Super Cells, which are then attached to a framework of recast bone modified for the Flood's purposes. The resulting Flood form is capable of mutating between a number of different forms depending upon the necessities of combat.
Pure forms are created once the Coordinated Stage of an outbreak is reached. As the parasite grows in strength the Gravemind will begin to cultivate tumorous masses and mucus-like lakes of pure Flood Super Cells, using nonessential biomass as food. Most of the Flood cells are used to form hives and blightlands, but some are harvested to create deadly war-forms. With the sound of breaking bones and ripping flesh these creatures transform themselves to best confront the threats they encounter, contorting and reshaping their anatomy into grotesque but lethal shapes as they lead hordes of lesser combat forms into battle.
== Sub-forms ==
=== Stalker ===
Stalkers are extremely agile and can jump large distances. They tend to crawl on ceilings and walls before leaping at an enemy. Individually they pose only a moderate threat, however they can make up for their fragility and other limitations by strength in numbers.
=== Suppressor ===
Suppressors can usually be found clinging to ceilings or walls, though unlike the Stalker, they cannot move from a given position. They can fire sharp projectiles from a long range, able to pin down enemies with suppressing fire.
=== Tank ===
Named for their immense endurance and strength, Tanks are the largest variety of pure form, comparable in proportion and physical strength to a mgalekgolo. Tanks are close range combatants capable of dealing severe damage to unprepared infantry, requiring massed fire or heavy weapons to eliminate effectively.
