BlackT4lon - Ravenous Inedibles

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures:
Original Design:
SCP-XXXX-H is to be contained in a 5x5 room, with a steel door being the only means of access. An adjacent observation post is to monitor the containment room through a reinforced glass window, with at least one member of staff being present at all times.
First Revision:
SCP-XXXX-H is to be contained in a 10x10x15 room at all times, with access being restricted to a single reinforced titanium door. Beyond this door is to be a 40m corridor containing motion activated high caliber machine guns and flamethrowers at random intervals. Placements of said motion operated weaponry are to be changed every other week. The room is to be monitored at all times by security cameras linked to an adjacent monitoring room stationed at all times by at least 2 staff.
Second Revision:
SCP-XXXX-H is to be contained in a 10x10x15 room at all times, with access being restricted to a single reinforced titanium door. Beyond this door is to be a 40m corridor containing motion activated high caliber machine guns and flamethrowers at random intervals. Placements of said motion operated weaponry are to be changed every other week. Over 1000 electricity emitters are to be built into the walls, floor, and roofs of the corridor and containment room. If any instances of SCP-XXXX are able to reach the 30m mark within the corridor, the electricity emitters are to be activated immediately. The room is to be monitored at all times by security cameras in the corridor and pressure sensors within the containment room, both of which are linked to an adjacent monitoring room stationed at all times by at least 2 staff.
Third Revision:
SCP-XXXX-H is to be contained in a 10x10x15 room at all times, with access being restricted to a single reinforced titanium door. Beyond this door is to be a 60m corridor containing gamma radiation emitters every square meter along its floors, walls, and roofs. SCP-XXXX-H is to be monitored at all times by security cameras linked to an adjacent monitoring room stationed at all times by at least 4 staff with a direct link to a nearby armed unit, who are to remain on standby.

Description:
SCP-XXXX refers to a number of aggressive, predatory, hive-minded organisms of very diverse size, shape, and composition, which had been observed to be highly varied between each individual. Within the containment chamber is an estimated 300-400 individual organisms at any one time, as well as a single central hive. All observed specimens heavily resemble human-made food items, including but not limited to; cake, bread, cupcakes, biscuits, pancakes, pastries, and cheese. SCP-XXXX organisms are highly mobile, moving by using a series of tube-like feet located on their undersides similar to that of a Sea Cucumber. Several classes have been observed among the organisms, including a drone caste which builds large hive structures from any materials they can find. They are apparently capable of converting even synthetic materials such as steel, glass, and rubber into a cementing paste used to expand the central hive. Within the containment chamber, a single roughly cylindrical hive stretches up to the ceiling, with SCP-XXXX entities constantly entering and exiting it through its numerous entrance holes. The hive is designated as SCP-XXXX-H.

Studies have so far shown all instances of SCP-XXXX to be extremely aggressive towards humans. SCP-XXXX instances that detect humans will attempt to reach them by any means necessary, demonstrating the ability to burn through solid steel in a matter of hours by using a highly corrosive acid, as well as survive sustained high caliber firepower for up to 30 seconds. Upon reaching a live human, SCP-XXXX instances will spray them with a paralytic venom that takes effect almost immediately, leaving them immobile but fully conscious. Nearby SCP-XXXX entities will then attempt to consume their prey alive by manifesting large tooth filled openings. Alternatively, SCP-XXXX entities may sometimes enter a period of prolonged dormancy. They will remain motionless in a single location, most likely to mimic human food and attract people on which to launch a surprise attack. Roughly every 50-60 days, a larger instance of SCP-XXXX will exit the hive as a formless liquid mass, before quickly taking a solid permanent form. These larger, more aggressive forms are designated as Queen class instances and will cause lesser classes to become even more aggressive than usual, usually triggering an escape attempt. Queen class organisms are designated SCP-XXXX-Q as well as it’s accompanying chronological number.

The insides of all SCP-XXXX classes are biologically active, containing organs such as a stomach and primitive pulmonary and respiratory organs. Notably, dissections have found that they are completely made up of highly toxic variations of edible materials, such as the organ linings and body being made up of an extremely force-resistant sponge or pastry-like substance. The stomachs of SCP-XXXX specimens typically contain a highly acidic cream and their hemocoel often contains an oxygen-binding jam. The inside of the hive has not been properly investigated, as it’s defensive mechanisms have so far proven too great for anything further than the outer chambers to be properly assessed. Expeditions inside the hive by unmanned drones have shown a number of unusual chambers such as a biological oven room, apparently in which the organisms are originally created. Additionally, a number of freezer chambers have been found to contain dormant organisms.

Queen Class Item Log:
SCP-XXXX-Q3: A very large pie of around 3 meters in diameter, with icing and decorations in the form of a frowning face with x-shaped eyes on its upper surface. Instead of using tube feet to walk, the entity rolled continuously in a circle, gaining momentum great enough to shatter the original steel containment door on impact.
SCP-XXXX-Q16: A grossly oversized white wedding cake with the words ‘die human scum’ and ‘human genocide is a piece of cake’ written in pink icing on its uppermost tier. This is the largest yet-encountered duchess-caste at around 5 meters in diameter and was practically immobile. The object remained mostly stationary, spraying a noxious, acidic chemical on surrounding surfaces from a number of small orifices.
SCP-XXXX-Q29: A glowing green birthday cake with unlit candles and the words ‘happy expiration day!’ written in all red capital letters on its upper surface. Crude drawings of humans being eaten by cakes were drawn in icing all across the sides of the entity.
