I usually just refer to them all as Flood, or by their actual names. (i.e, combat forms, infection forms, tank forms, etc.)
However, being seven when I first started playing, I ended up coming up with some rather stupid names. c:
The Flood as one I used to call "Uglies"
Infection forms were "Poppers" or "Popcorn" ...OTL.
Carrier corms were simply "Exploding ones"
Combat forms...I think I just referred to them as either "zombies" or "Uglies"
And then the Proto-Gravemind I just liked to call "that weird thing that Captain Keyes is in."
Ohh, the age of seven to eight. How I miss those years of me not paying attention to the story.
...Actually, I don't miss that.
