The Hunters were one of the most powerful creatures in Halo why didn't the flood posses them?
You have a good point but why didn't they posses jakels or grunts, after all the flood have no reasoning, they just take over anything of a suitable biomass. It's probably just because bungie couldn't be bothered to make combat forms of them, assuming the elite and marine ones would suffice.
Two things:
1. The Flood are not mindless zombies they think. Our proof comes from the level: KEYES where we see our good friend captian Keyes hooked up to the control room of the ship. Doing something like getting Keyes body on board that ship would require cummincation. Communication is what seperates us from the trees and plants, we can think, talk and thus make strategys. Trees cannot communicate so all they do is live thats exactically what zombies do they just survive by finding means of food.
2. It's possinble that Hunters Jacklas and our firends the Grunts do not have the suffiecent biomass to contian the flood. Thus why we never see a Flood form of the Grunt or Jackel or Hunter. Biomass doesn't neccisarily depend on how big on is it depends more on whats inside and their cabilites. It's possible that a Hunter's body is of no use to the Flood.
That being said wouldn't a infected Spartan be scary!
