The final stage of a flood infection, the Gravemind is the completed mind of a planetwide infection. While the physical, tentacled form of the Gravemind is often mistaken as the Gravemind itself, a single planet can contain dozens to thousands of these "key minds", forming a lattice through its infection, combat, and pure forms to create a unified planetary brain. With even a single key mind, an infection becomes intelligent enough to commandeer starships to infect other planets, spelling doom for an unprepared galaxy, or even potentially the entire universe. |
