Item #: SCP-525
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Outside of testing conditions, the individual components of SCP-525 must be stored in separate sealed containers. No more than
six components
may be stored in the same room or within 15 meters of each other. All currently-existing components are accounted for at Storage Site-
23 in lockers ██ to ██.
Only Class D personnel are authorized to handle SCP-525. All supervising staff must wear protective eyewear during testing.
Description: SCP-525 consists of multiple disjoined arthropod legs, 10-15 cm in length. DNA identification has been inconclusive, but the closest match so far is to the brown recluse
spider Loxosceles reclusa. The base of each
leg ends in several
minute hooks capable of perforating flesh. SCP-525 is covered in
short, fine hairs, and is quite brittle.
When
alone or in proximity with fewer than
six others, SCP-525 is inert. When eight components of SCP-525 are brought within range of each other (approx. 0.6m), the legs will immediately crawl into a group and attach themselves into a
single entity, referred to as 525-1. At this stage, the speed of its locomotion greatly increases, and it will attempt to make contact with the closest human or similar (see Addendum #525-A).
