More on Gravemind
Description from Wikipedia:
Gravemind is a fictional character featured in the video games Halo 2 and Halo 3. While only one Gravemind is ever seen, the name is given to the commanders of the Flood parasite, a highly-infectious spore which is released during the Halo series. The Master Chief and Arbiter come upon the creature in the bowels of the Forerunner ring Installation 05, where the Flood creature forges an alliance between the two foes in order to stop the firing of the ringworld, an event which would destroy all three characters and their races. The character is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
Making its first appearance in Halo 2, the introduction of the Gravemind was meant to dispel the idea that the Flood is a mindless virus. The character was designed by a Bungie Studios team including artists Robert McLees and Juan Ramirez, and slowly developed into a massive creature with tentacles and a frightening level of intelligence. Driven by a desire to spread, Gravemind is cunning and manipulative; he forges alliances as often as he tries to consume his allies, tricking the Master Chief into aiding him while infecting the Chief's compatriots at the same time.
The character was not well-received by many critics upon his appearance in Halo 2, and reviewers including 1UP.com found his role in Halo 3 confusing and without clear motive.
