Item #: SCP-5569

Object Class: Euclid Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Item SCP-5569 has to be kept within a large fish tank, with loads of space for it to roam about. The fish tank should be made of glass and must be constantly watched at all times. Failure to comply with these orders will result in SCP-5569 to become extremely hostile and it will break the tank killing everyone in its way. It attacks its victims by touching them with its claws, creating a deadly virus which can spread quickly and which can kill within in 7 days. SCP-5569 can be contained really easily, by leaving a trail of sea snails and allowing it back into it's cage.

Description: SCP-5569 appears to be a Lopholithodes mandtii crab. It is 8.4 inches long with long claws. The claws can reach far, meaning the first victim can contract the disease quickly. It is extremely fast running up to 45 mph. SCP-5569 has a strong armoured shell which can withstand strong forces so gun fire is useless against it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: 17.11.2019
SCP-5569 Has escaped the facility in Wuhan. It has affected one person causing a major virus outbreak. We have to come up with a cover story. Covid-19. Make sure this stays confidential.
