Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All current members of SCP-XXXX the Foundation controls are in cold storage, as doing so negates their movement
Description: SCP-XXXX is a highly invasive, amorphous creature that, before containment, had appeared in households an estimated ███ times. SCP-XXXX can, theoretically, become any solid object that has a volume below seven cubic centimetres, however its preferred 'hunting' form is a black computer key. There seems to be no fixed computer key SCP-XXXX can become; HP, Dell, Lenovo, Apple, and others have been recorded.
Individuals of SCP-XXXX seem to originate from certain factories - the last known SCP-XXXX producer was shut down in 201█. It is not yet known exactly how the items get into computers, but it is currently thought that after having been 'birthed', the items replace non-anomalous computer keys while out of view, for example inside a computer's packaging. Upon implementing itself into a computer, SCP-XXXX remains completely still. It has been found that an individiual SCP-XXXX is able to mask its heat and (less often) DNA signals completely.
When the computer or laptop SCP-XXXX currently inhabits is opened, the organism will become extremely active. It seems that this causes it to have an adrenaline 'rush'. During this rush, all of SCP-XXXX's bodily functions seem to reach an astronomical rate, as respiration of the object increases by around 2500%.
Upon a mammal within three metres of an SCP-XXXX individual in this state reaches the entity's line of view, SCP-XXXX will, in all senses of the word, explode. This will cause massive damage to the surrounding area; and, in 90% of cases, immediately terminates the subject. Surviving subjects often have extreme burns and internal bleeding, usually resulting in termination within a week.
When exploding, an SCP-XXXX individual will also let 'spores' into the air, which come to rest on the nearest deceased mammal, usually the subject that opened the computer. These spores take the shape of some sort of navy-blue beetle, and will feed off the subject's body, often for weeks, growing in size until reaching about three cubic inches. After this point, SCP-XXXX will become their 'hunting' form, and continue to invade other computers to spread their spores.
Recovery: An inside informant at Prometheus Labs was granted access to a document containing the details of a young person's death, in which the carcass was found with over sixty (60) computer keys covering its body, however none of them were related to the laptop that had presumably exploded and killed the person. Agent █████ intervened and sixty-three (63) specimens of SCP-XXXX were recovered.
The Foundation currently has two hundred and ninety-one (291) specimens of SCP-XXXX in containment.
It seems that the number of SCP-XXXX being produced in factories is going down dramatically. However, it seems that the remaining XXXX individuals are becoming more widespread. The techs have run the numbers and found that every country in the world could have at least one XXXX in it within the next 65 years. - Dr. J█████.
Document XXXX-9:
The number of SCP-XXXX on the island of ████████ was growing out of hand in 201█. Mobile Task Force Lambda-12 "Pest Control" was called in to help stem the overgrowth of SCP-XXXX specimens. Included below is the recorded dialog of the team's exploration into an office building known to contain 100+ SCP-XXXX entities.
L1: Right. 2 and 3, take a look round, see if you find any XXXXs round the back of the building. You know what to do if you find one, shoot to destroy. 4, pull up your monitor and see if you can trace and movement, heat - anything. 5 and 6, you're coming with me - we'll climb up the building and kill everything. 7, you're cleanup. Bag the bugs we miss.
L1 and L5 proceed to charge into the office door and break it open.
L3: Alright, we can see a few bugs down here. Terminating now.
L4: Okay. There's no big heat sigs that I can see, just a f… oh, holy crap.
L1: What is it, 4?
L4: There is definitely a big heat signature. It's coming from floor eight. It's—- it's ten times bigger than a human.
L5: Good to know. We're heading up now.
L1 and L5 continue into the building, encountering three SCP-XXXX entities which are dealt with without any incident. L7 terminates one entity. L2 and 3 continue to deal with SCP-XXXX entities outside the building.
<CONTENT REDACTED FOR BREVITY>
L1 and L5 climb the stairs to Floor Eight. They encounter fourteen SCP-XXXX entities, which are all successfully terminated.

L2: It seems like we've got all the pests down here. Permission to join up with 7?
L1: Granted, 2 and 3. Make sure to do a clean ch… jesus.
L4: What?
L5: 4, we found your goddamn heat signature. Screw you.
A view of L5's camera shows that a large, dark mass of what seems to be SCP-XXXX entities is gathered in a ball. The size is not sure, but L1 and 5 confirm it to be roughly two metres.
L1: Never thought I'd say this in my life, but it's a ball of computer-key shaped insects.
L7: I'm right below you guys. I have a grenade.
L2: God thank Mother Nature's greatest tool.
L5: Okay, 7, come up here. 2 and 3, prepare to dive out of a window.
L7 regroups with L1 and L5. A this point, the collection of SCP-XXXX seemingly notices them. The individuals start to crawl from the ball, entering their 'rush' state. After one explodes and slightly harms L5, it is confirmed that SCP-XXXX individuals can resist others' explosions.
L1: Okay, 7, you chuck it when I say. Ready?
L7: Let's kill these things.
L1: Okay. Three, t-
At this point, an unseen SCP-XXXX entity explodes, after descending on a silk string. L1 is badly hurt.
L5: Crap! Just throw it!
L7 throws the grenade, and he and L5, currently carrying L1, dive out of the window. Two seconds after hitting the ground, the top floor of the office building explodes, spraying glass.
L1 was successfully treated for second-class burns and one broken bone. In light of the incident, SCP-XXXX entities have new designations.
Addendum XXXX-1:
SCP-XXXX entities capable of moving at high speeds and exploding in a three-metre radius have now been designated SCP-XXXX-1. Entities that can spin silk, and have a radius of roughly a metre, are designated SCP-XXXX-2. After a second 'ball' of SCP-XXXX was discovered in ████, these masses were designated SCP-XXXX-3.
