Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: When not being used in testing, SCP-xxxx is to be pruned to less than ten centimeters and contained within an airtight storage locker in Site-103. Testing can only be performed by gaining permission from a researcher with 03-xxxx clearance. By ethics committee standards, all D-class used in testing, regardless of scheduled termination, are to be terminated within five hours of exposure. It is recommended for convenience sake to utilize the incinerator to terminate D-Class with excess cuttings produced by testing. Regardless, termination must be carried out between four and five hours of exposure, when the nerve endings are at the state of least function.

Description:SCP-XXXX is an offshoot member of Aloe Vera. The plant is much darker in appearance under normal lighting conditions. It has has adapted to grow in the shade, most likely to attract hosts and disguise its odd coloration. SCP-XXXX was originally discovered fifteen kilometers north-northwest of the town of Moab, Utah. On ██/██/2018, after a period of heavy rainstorms, Agents planted in the National Park Service noted a higher than average amount of missing hikers reported from Arches National Park, particularly on the western trails. MTF Theta-4 "Gardeners" was dispatched, and after terminating all victims, the team utilized flamethrowers to prune the plants after gathering samples. When the plant is broken when sufficiently hydrated, and the gel within is applied to the skin of a mammal suffering from radiation burn, the dermis and epidermis peel off at an advanced rate. The gel is absorbed by the exposed skin, nerve endings being transformed into seeds over a period of seven hours.
