"Through frost and flame had we walked, unto tombs that they had wrought, and no longer are we caught..."

- Dualmind, describing its imprisonment

The Dualmind, a Flood form named for its two large heads, and also classified differently from the Gravemind (Inferi Sententia Duae), was the Gravemind form in control of the Flood on the planet Arctic IV. It was imprisoned in ice by the Forerunners present on the planet long ago, however, during the Arctic IV campaigns by the UNSC, was thawed out and now is in control of all Flood forces in the area.

Description
Nearly identical to the original Flood Gravemind, the Dualmind has its own specific destinctions. Most prominently among its features are its two heads, brought about because of unknown conditions. However, it also has significantly longer tentacles than the original Gravemind form, and its skin color has adapted to the arctic landscape, coloring it pale and gray. Despite this, all other features are shared with other Gravemind forms.

Origin
Its specific origin is unknown, however, it is known that it caused much war and strife on Arctic IV before its imprisonment. Currently, the Flood form is leading all Flood forces in the Arctic IV campaigns.
