In a Fight who would win.
The Zerg
A life form that takes the best of a creature and throws out the rest. There tech is high and there strength is to be reckoned with. Just one could wipe out any species as they can recover unless all are wiped out.
The Flood
Like the zerg these creatures or creature take over other life forms but unlike the zerg take the body as a whole and increase on its strength but weaken its health. The only ways to kill it are to kill its food or kill all of it.
The Hierarchy
While being the only 1 of these 3 to not poses the ability to take over other life forms they do have a tech that rivals both. They have killed off a species and are taking on 3 different ones all at once. There species is built apon strngth and could go hand to hand with many creatures.
who do you think would win and why in the comments bellow
It would only be a fight between the Zerg and Flood. By the Flood's very nature (and maybe the Zerg's too; haven't played SC2 yet), whatever technology the other factions have, the Flood get by infecting. The Hiearchy wouldn't stand a chance, especially if the Zerg do this as well.
Which is what makes them so friggin' dangerous. Its nearly impossible to stop the Flood. And certainly impossible to do it in a warzone.
Oh, and the Flood don't weaken the health of the infected. They add to it. The Flood novel depicts Flood forms being ripped apart but continuing to fight, sorta like Necromorphs. The only way to put them down for god is to literally wreck them.
Anyway, does the Zerg go airborne? And are they a single macro-organism? I know they're a hivemind, but are they literally one single super organism like the Gravemind?
Its because of this that makes be doubt the Flood can be counterinfected. The Besterium strongly hints they're immune to disease, which would make sense considering there is no individuals in the Flood, just extensions of the Gravemind.
As the Gravemind has no true central core (he is a distributed network. The venus flytrap thing from Halo 2 is simply a verbal communication organ, not the "head."), he can't be specially targeted to kill off or infect the Flood.
From my limited knowledge of the Zerg, I'd say the Flood wins.
the only question left is if the zerg has a nervous sistem
The Hierarchy species dont have bones. well they do but there crystals. So this means the flood can't infect them and live off it.
yes the zerg do have air born units.
the zerg take only the best part of what they take over. so if something fly's im sure its a good trait to keep.
Also half of the The Hierarchy are machines. so there's that
Not air units. I mean is it an airborne disease. Can you breath the air near the Zerg and become infected.
As for the Hierarchy being crystal, it only matters if they have brains, or a central nervous system. If they have that, they can be infected. Just won't be any calcium to add to the biomass. (will be a lot of technology though.)
And we already know the Gravemind can hack machines.
