Proto-Graveminds are capable of jamming or distorting radio signals within a significant radius around them. As the corpses become more deformed, a Proto-Gravemind's appearance take on a large body of Flood tissue and biomass. In most instances, they use some of their hosts' legs as a means to support themselves, and one can see some of the bodies of the most recently assimilated, embedded in the Proto-Gravemind's mass, albeit deformed. In fact, even when John-117 punched through the side of the Proto-Gravemind present aboard the Truth and Reconciliation during the Battle of Installation 04, the Flood form did not react at all it is likely that until the transformation into a true Gravemind is complete, Proto-Graveminds are nothing more than an amalgamation of inactive bodies. They have never been observed to move on their own, even when combat forms are fighting nearby. Unlike all other known Flood forms, Proto-Graveminds are immobile and passive in combat. Various human faces from left to right: being absorbed, recently absorbed, absorbed, slightly decayed, moderately decayed, severely decayed. Only after the host is stripped of all knowledge is the host killed by the Proto-Gravemind, although it is sometimes possible for a host to die before the Flood form has a chance to assimilate all of its memories. ![]() The form tortures the host's mind with a loud buzzing sound, thus erasing all thought. Rather than completely destroying a victim's consciousness, as a normal Flood form generally does, it interrogates its victims slowly, even speaking telepathically to them, and allowing their nervous systems to feed it information. The Proto-Gravemind is stationary, and likely directs nearby combat forms to pilot the ships, similar to the way a fully-formed Gravemind will direct Flood forms to execute battle strategies or other complex tasks. They are usually formed in order to handle advanced tasks, such as piloting a starship, in which case Flood forms will merge as many hosts as possible with that knowledge, such as former pilots and officers. In order to create a viable "mind", large numbers of Flood forms and corpses are merged into a globular mass, which uses the combined knowledge derived from each host. ![]() Proto-Graveminds are created when the Flood has amassed sufficient bodies and minds to become sentient. ![]()
