Since I saw the thread about the Hunters a minute ago, I was wondering: Are the Flood non-sentient without a Gravemind, and if so, can they survive a Halo ring firing if they do not have on at the time? Because a Gravemind is essentially the center brain of the species, but it doesn't develop until the Flood reach a certain level of biomass controlled. Discuss.

Hello, Im Embuilarr. Forge world maniac.

Well, The flood would be useless, Gravemind is the Leader of all the flood. If a Gravemind, Is destroyed it would result in the flood being Defected.

As far as we're aware, in an array firing some Flood die and some live depending upon their makeup rather than their intelligence levels. This thread of mine talks one through the science behind it and which forms would be killed and which preserved in the event of an array firing.
