Special Containment Procedures: SCP-6160 is to be kept within a specialized 10m x 10m x 10m containment area of which must resemble that of the Caledonian Forest located within Northern highlands of Scotland. The containment must hold a population of healthy mammals (preferably red deer) as testing has shown that SCP-6160 prefers this species the most. Those entering the containment chamber must be decontaminated before entering and must wear a hazmat suit when interacting with SCP-6160.
In the event of all mammals in SCP-6160's containment decaying, SCP-6160 must be given a live D-Class temporarily until more mammals are provided.
In the event of a containment breach, a squadron of Mobile Task Force Beta-7 ("Maz Hatters") are to be sent to recontain SCP-6160. All traces of SCP-6160 are to be decontaminated in the event of a containment breach. Failure to do so will result in evacuation and full site lockdown of Site-82.
Description: SCP-6160 is a hivemind of an infinitely growing bioluminescent algae that is contagious from both touch and inhalation. Upon touch, SCP-6160 infects the brain of the subject through the limbic system, first causing emotional cessation from the subject. From there, SCP-6160 finely modifies the neurochemistry of the host. After this, the host enters a state of extreme psychosis as its mind is slowly invaded by SCP-6160. Then, the host will cease all movement quite literally dying mentally, however, the physical body remains intact although gaining an increased decay rate. The new creature is known as SCP-6160-1.
SCP-6160 then continues to grow around the body of SCP-6160-1 causing a glow starting from the majority of holes in the face (the mouth, the nose, the eyes, rarely ears). The color of this glow is generally a light shade of blue or white. This should be communicated to all Mobile Task Force Beta-7 units as it is vital to the decontamination of SCP-6160 during a containment breach.
SCP-6160 will proceed to feast upon the organs of SCP-6160-1 instances, however, will refuse to devour bone or muscle. It is theorized that this is to keep the motor functions of its host intact as to allow for movement. Mammals consumed by SCP-6160 that are in possession of rhinocerotidae (horns) will be engulfed around the horn area causing an extremely bright glow. It is suspected that SCP-6160-1 gets its glow from ionizing radiation, similar to that from nuclear chain reactions.
After SCP-6160 has overtaken every function of SCP-6160-1, decay will begin causing fur and skin to often green in color. This can often be seen as similar to the typical media depiction of the fictional horror creature known as a "zombie".
