Tank Forms mainly attack with their claw arm, which does damage similar to a Beam Rifle a swing on Heroic drains the player's shields while a swing on Legendary will kill them. This allows a player to determine if one is nearby and can take appropriate actions to defend themselves. Unlike other forms, Tank Forms let out a roar whenever they spot an enemy. There is also a notable similarity between the roles of the Tank Form and of the Covenant Mgalekgolo, and is often mistaken as an infected version of a Hunter, however that is impossible considering that Hunters are a colony of worms and the Tank Form is one single mass. The Tank Form is similar in appearance to the Drinol, and may have been inspired conceptually by the deleted Covenant race. Like all of the Pure Forms, The Tank forms cannot be dismembered, only disabled. On occasion Tank Forms eject Infection Forms from their 'mouth' as if regurgitating them (not explosively like the Flood Carrier Forms) as a form of short-ranged attack, or an attack to counteract Bubble Shields. However slow, they can run on all fours for a short period, allowing a short burst of speed to overtake a target much like Jiralhanae from Halo 2 and Halo 3. Tank Forms are snail-paced in comparison to the other Combat Forms but they make up for it with relative resilience and their devastating melee attack, as they are unable to wield weapons with their arms that are shaped into hardened spikes (as opposed to whip-like tentacles exhibited by other Combat Forms).
