Appearance: the gravemind appears as a massive hulking thing, a long snake like being with tendrils like vines if biomass and lumps, the graveminds "skin" is made of flood spores, dead biomass and writhing flesh, with long tendrils that can stretch across Delta halo via the old forerunner tunnels the graveminds "face" is an eyeless thing a large maw with flaps like a flower revealing 3 segments coated with sharp teeth and bloody fleshy inards that stare into the abyss that is its maw to describe the gravemind as disgusting doesn't begin to show what the horror is.

Abilities: the Gravemind is a near omniscient super intelligence, it is hyper intelligent and able to coordinate the entire flood at once with no true effort, it is part of the entire flood "species" if one couod call a galactic scale parasitic plague a species, the gravemind is the ultimate conglomeration of every but of knowledge and intellect absorbed by the collective into a single being, and now that it has began to absorb humans and covenant the gravemind has only grown more knowledgeable of the state of the galaxy, the gravemind is suprinsgly poetic and philosophical having spent its time on delta halo musing over things and growing its own sort of philosophical mind even if it remains hell bent on taking over everything.

Setting/Backstory: Set during the Human-Covenant war era The Gravemind was formed by the flood of Delta halo Installation 05 the ring worlds used by the forerunners to destroy all life and stares the flood during the great purification, The flood on the ring where able to form due to the Halo rings Monitor AI, "2401 Penitent Tangent" showing negligence and being captured by the flood constructs allowing for the flood to build up, while the sentinel defense network set up a large quarantine zone to contain the flood enough area was made for the biomass to be conglomerated into a proper gravemind, thanks to having the monitor to corrupt and speak with the gravemind learned and grew rather formal, poetic and philosophically spoken. Ultimately once the Human-Covenant war came to Delta halo it gave the gravemind a fine opportunity, tk gain new hosts for the flood and fisnlly escape the halo ring and finish the floods goal of infecting the entire galaxy slowly but surely
