Infection forms- little guys that infect someone
Carrier forms- they carry the infection forms

I can't remember what they call the flood elite/human in "The Flood".

You aparently haven't read "The Flood". Those are the names of the flood! You don't have to say those names, that's why people call them other things. Those are just the real names of the different kind of flood. I don't call them anything I just call them flood period.

my friends usually call them "little -blam!-s" "Big -blam!-s" and "Fatties"
But I dont think the UNSC would be too happy with those for official names!

That's what they call them in the book. I'm saying they are more official than any other name. They may not be as official as the name elite, but they are pretty official. It's just no one calls them that because it sounds dumb. It just a way to make sure people know which type of flood you are talking about. For me if I'm being specific for the carrier forms I say they are blobs in the forums. If people don't understand what I'm talking about then I have to say the carrier or the guys who have the little guys in them, or something like that.
