The Flood Dispersal Pod is a Flood dissemination mechanism seen only in Halo 3 and rarely in Halo Wars on the level Cleansing. In essence, and in practice, the Flood Dispersal Pod is the Flood equivalent of the HEV drop pods used by UNSC ODSTs and Orbital Insertion Pod used by Sangheili Special Forces. Rather than encasing its occupant(s) in protective Titanium-A and lead, the Dispersal Pod uses Flood biomass to shape the pod and protect the occupant from the stresses of orbital deployment.
