Disclaimer: This build is based off of a unit from Halo Wars: Judgement Edition, a third party mod for Halo Wars. This makes the Flood Walker Non-Canon, and the description a bit of fun on my part....

An amalgamation of collected biomass, the Flood Walker is a colossal Flood pure form purpose built to overwhelm heavily fortified locations. This 4 story tall, quadrupedal walking fortress can melt through heavy titanium/ceramic armor with...well, it's a giant green beam of sadness that originates from the thing's mouth, I'll let you guess what it is. Atop the main body is a Flood Launcher, which launches sacs of additional infectious sadness at enemies in a parabolic arc. Flanking the form's ''head'' are a pair of Spike Launchers, which fire calcium spikes that can shred reinforced armor at aircraft.

Controls:

Pitch/Roll: Walk/Turn

AG1: Toggle Heavy Weapons

AG2: Toggle Spike Launchers

AG8: Toggle Stabilizer Gyro

Onboard Weapons:

Flood Launcher: Organic Siege Mortar turret. Launches sacs of fluids that carry Flood Spores at targets. Sacs burst upon impact, releasing the spores. About as unpleasant as it sounds....

Flood Spew: Highly corrosive substance propelled at high pressures towards the target. Capable of eating through titanium/ceramic alloys at alarming speeds. Short range, can only attack forward targets.

Spike Launcher: Organic Armor Piercing / Anti-Aircraft turret, Flood Forms are known to repurpose calcified biomass into sharpened projectiles, then launch those projectiles at enough speed to pierce heavily armored targets. Some forms can even produce spikes that carry flood super-cells, which are then deposited into the target.

Additional Notes:

  • Quadrupedal walkers break my brain.....please keep this in mind when moving over uneven ground

  • The Flood Launcher and Spike Launchers are mounted to autoturrets, and can target aircraft

  • The Flood Spew (yep, that's what I called the ''Beam of Sadness'') doesn't pivot at all, but melts anything that gets too close.

  • The Flood Spew also has a mini-mouth, for extra nightmares with your nightmare

  • Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man! (look at the spike launchers when you fire)
