This is completely true. Though it was shown that once a certain biomass is reached, the flood can create forms out of scratch, rather than relying solely on hosts (pure forms).

Have you noticed how similar the pure forms are to the description of precursors in Cryptum?

Although i agree with you but i do not know if the TO or the Flood are one. They could have the relationship that Medicent Bias had with the Flood.

Although i believe that the TO can retain the knowledge but can not spread it like the Gravemind can. The gravemind is the hive mind and all the lifeforms that are taken over if attached to the gravemind will survive, but if the flood with valuable info is in the form of the combat form then when it dies the flood may loose the knowledge within it.

Still i am not sure if my theory are true or not so my mindset will change when the new book comes out.

You mean a similiarity between the flood tank pure forms in H3 and the description of the Timeless one (a giant sea scorpion)? No, not quite in that case. I noticed that the GM and the TO appear to look quite similiar (The GMs shape taken from the H2 venus flytrap). Then again they are the same thing in a sense.


No I was referring to the "base" pure form.

Read this or just scroll down to the pictures of the pure form and read around that.

Also, someone had a theory that the gravemind is simply the TO's mouth, similar to how the Mouth of Sauron speaks for Sauron. I rather liked that one. So the GM is speaking for the TO, but isn't the TO's physical body, as the TO isn't actually a flood creature itself, but commands them, and would naturally need an interface with which to use them.

Cheers.
