Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

The Flood as described in Mona Lisa.

If you're taking about in-game, though...Necromorphs for sure.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Id probably give it to the necromorphs. Imagine a flood necromorph hybrid. Wed we be screwed...

Time to get a drink and watch the world burn. Or deal with it.

The flood eventually gain a large amount of intelligence, but both need hosts. What is the wildlife type and population?

SC = Supreme Commander/Supreme Canadian.

De Facto leader of the military of the APE (Allied Planets Empire).

Coup = Admiral Asskicker, ZPM hive ship

If we're considering the Forerunner era Flood... Flood deserve a Omega Vlad Tepes Award.

CE-2-3 Flood gets consumed, but they put up a [REDACTED] epic fight.

Flood. They could, in theory, infect the necromorphs creating an even bigger, badder WTF enemy.

i never played dead spce, but i would say flood for the most part. The Flood could travel really fast, and in the books, the infection forms are really brtall (to me though).

I actually made a thread just like this, gaining over 500 replies and hundreds of votes.

The leader was the Flood, so on behalf of me and 392 other voters, I'm giving it to the Flood.

--7-- I've been a Bungie member since 2004. --7--

Because the Flood can gain in intelligence and have the ability to be self aware and use their smarts to their advantage.

To me, it seems that the necromorphs are more easy to contain than the flood. Also, you need a spine & brain for the flood to control you, so assuming that all the necromorphs still have those, a flood spore may still be able to take control of it. I'm giving it to the flood, only because they get smarter. They know how to repair ships, use weapons, & overall, solve problems. An infected flood host also gets stronger with the parasite. Both the necromorph & flood are rotting bodies though, so they can easily smash each other.
So, all types of necromorphs versus all types of flood (The ones from the books as well as pure forms)? The flood would probably win.
So think about a flood spore infecting a human or sangheli, it would aquire that organisms memories. Now, if they form into a giant mass, with all those aquired memories, they form a large mass called a gravemind, which is smart as -blam!-. They all coordinate by being controlled by that gravemind. There can be more than one gravemind.

The flood also have Juggernauts, that can jump & use long tentacles to slash, grab, & smash you.

Pretty much this.

Also, eventually that Proto-Gravemind is going to reach the Coordinated Stage and become self-aware. It's not going to take that long considering the amount of life on the planet.

It'll figure out how to go Isaac Clarke on the Necromorphs, tactically dismembering them and then add them to the Flood army. Next thing you know, you'll have Flood Berserkers running about.

Also, if there was some chance that a Necromorph was using stasis and it was killed and infected by the Flood, the Flood would learn how to use it. Really -blam!- situation there.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

The Flood seem more logical and realistic. The necromorphs are designed just way too over the top. Of course they were scary, but it looked they the gaem developer tried too hard.
