Lords of their existence. The Forerunners aren't in the Aliens/Predator/Engineer (Space Jockey) universe. So, that comment is also moot. Also the piercing the skin and attaching to the spinal cord thing is moot because once you pierce an Alien's skin, your life is pretty much forfeit as you are going to be buffeted with acid. Flood included...

They merely simply have to not rupture the flesh of the Xenos and they can alter the forms. In fact - once they've taken a few Xenos for themselves, they will reuse their body parts in the composition of the new Flood creatures that will be resistant to the blood of the Xenos and they can then get right to tearing the Xenos a new one.
Lol. Comparing the Alien/Predator/Engineer verse to that of Halo.
The Forerunner's decimated the race that used to be the Flood, and during the time they were fighting the Flood on all fronts, had enough time to gather samples of every known species in existence, and make genetic copies able to be brought back after they fired the Halo Rings. Which also wiped out all life with no problems.
It's like comparing ants to...well masters of existence(which the Forerunners clearly were with their amazing tech)
You're severely downplaying how impressive the Forerunners were. The satellites were the size of planets, and each one could repopulate entire planets down to the micro-organisms.
And they're more impressive than the aliens, who are nothing but semi-sentient experiments run amok.
And you're probably the only one who doesn't. Which means you made an intentional spite thread, but it's spite for the Flood. Not against them.

They had dominion over a galaxy and a few satellites that destroyed life. That's no more impressive than Darth Sidious and the Death Star. I'm not impressed. I don't think the Flood can infect the Aliens.
Last time I checked the Death Star could not wipe out an entire galaxy of life. The DS is a goddamn squirt gun next to what the Forerunners built.
Do Xenomorphs have bones? I remember reading that the flood don't have much use for lifeforms without calcium skeletons--that they can only use them as biomatter to build graveminds, not as soldiers (hence why you never see any flood drones, or flood hunters).
Not saying Xenos have any way of beating the flood, I just don't see flood-xenos running around based on the aforementioned issue.
