precursor? the description they give in cryptum to me just screams gravemind. there both supposeddly the same height IMO. and from what i can gather about the precursors head it looks very similar to graveminds head. plz discuss.

I started up the heated debate on whether the SPARTAN-II in the cryo tube near the end of Reach is really Linda.
I created the Moa XING avatar pic.
Also I earned the All Star nameplate with this submission to Week 14 All Stars http://www.bungie.net/images/News/Inline11/bwu_0415/art/likea boss.jpg

Um, the Precursor and the gravemind look nothing alike.
I even drew up a picture of the Precursor based off of the description from the book.

I think that a precursor may be the gravemind. Or possibly the flood are a creation of a precursor.

There's already a theory like this here. Has some pretty interesting points.

Cool design.
However, different people clearly think it up differently. I drew it up at one point and it looked very close to the Gravemind.


Anyways, I assume they are the same being. It makes sense in my mind, whether they look similar or not.
The appearance could change over time.

Its not a matter of what he looks like now, but what he would look like as an infected. The description of what he does (Medicant Bias' new Master, 43 years talking with him, most dangerous being in the universe [The Flood] is our answer" etc.) fits him quite well.

In fact, the Gravemind technically doesn't have a corporeal body; he's a distributed consciousness, not occupying anyone specific place at any time. The Venus fly trap thing is an organ it used to speak verbally.

I think it's safe to say the Flood haven't infected the Precursor,but the Precursor merged his consiousness with the entire Flood population.

everyone says the gravemind when i say A gravemind.

OT: i do agree with you, i think the gravemind in question and the precurser are very similar.
