The Human Skin Trapper, by guavity

Item Number: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard containment cell, this containment cell should not be equipped with any windows for viewing, and should instead have each top corner equipped with standard security cameras. Under no circumstance is any handling of SCP-XXXX to be done without fully covering hazmat suits. Any security personnel that is seen with exposed skin, will be taken outside of the testing chamber and given punishment as seen fit.
SCP-XXXX should be given one subject each month, at least. The host may be D-Class Personnel
Description: SCP-XXXX is a suit with a thick layer of epidermal skin cells around it, as well as a much thinner lining of mucus on its inside. The inner lining of tissue found within SCP-XXXX holds cells similar to parietal cells found in human stomachs, these cells, much like human parietal cells, secrete a highly acidic substance named clorifonic acid into the cavity. SCP-XXXX has the measurements of an average male, however, its size may vary depending on its host. SCP-XXXX has one opening, going from its forehead to its abdominal regions. This opening is lined with decaying and yellowed teeth. These teeth have been shown through DNA testing to be those of subjects SCP-XXXX has consumed. SCP-XXXX lacks any facial features or any defining features.
When skin to skin contact with SCP-XXXX is made, it begins to move onto the host. It will bond itself to the host's skin using a powerful enzyme that has been named “Epitase”, as it seems to catalyze a bond between epidermal cells on humans to the layer of digestive lining found on SCP-XXXX’s inside. After 5 - 10 minutes of being bonded to SCP-XXXX, subjects will begin to be digested by Epitase enzymes that are within clorifonic acid that is currently thought to be between 0.089 and 0.092 on the pH scale. While it is true that epidermal cells found on SCP-XXXX contain mitochondria, and are capable of aerobic respiration, they rely entirely on anaerobic respiration, producing a large amount of lactic acid. Much like humans, SCP-XXXX repairs itself using mitotic cell division to patch up wounds and internal damage.
SCP-XXXX has been shown, through DNA testing, to be directly related to a William Richardson. It is assumed that William was absorbed into SCP-XXXX in order to create it due to the sheer amount of identical DNA present. William Richardson had been found responsible for the disappearances of several people, each of which had been made into an unrecognizable mass of tissue. These have been considered to be failed attempts at creating SCP-XXXX.
Discovery: SCP-XXXX was found in Boston in ████, after ██ reports of missing persons within the same week. At each scene, smaller and smaller traces of the victims were found. The Foundation was alerted after digestive residue had been identified at four of the scenes. The investigation was assumed by Foundation Staff, and █ investigators were sent to each scene along with armed guards under the ruse that there had been a highly infectious strand of tuberculosis. The scenes had been quarantined and the investigation began.
17 days into the investigation, foundation staff were attacked by SCP-XXXX, forcing The Foundation to raise security. Each scene was given ██ armed Pi-1 members to guard the investigations. This attack did, however, give investigators a good idea of its abilities and hunting methods. 3 more days into the investigation and investigators had tracked SCP-XXXX to a resting place that it frequented. A team of █ Pi-1 members was sent after SCP-XXXX to extract and contain it. Only 2 of that team remain.
