A human, elite, and brute combat form, [source].

In the early stages of a flood infection, flood infection forms plant themselves in the corpses of a planet or installation's native life, piloting it as a flesh vehicle. As an infection reaches the mid-stage, combat forms are typically broken down for biomass, becoming pure forms.

Variants: Infected Species

Depending on the species infected, combat forms have a variety of slightly different capabilities.

Elite. The combat form has 10 temporary hit points. If they do not receive damage for 3 rounds (18 seconds), they regain these temporary hit points. Temporary hit points gained in this manner can not exceed 10. Additionally, it has one of the following attack:

Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, range (20/150), one target. Hit: 8 (2d6 + 1) lightning damage.
Type-1 Energy Sword Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) radiant damage.

Brute. The combat form has a +1 bonus to its AC. Additionally, it has the following action:

Thrash. All creatures within 10 feet of the combat form must attempt a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage. On a success, they take half as much damage.
