Item #: SCP-5362
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5362 is to be contained in a thick, steel, 1 m x 1 m x 1 m space. Make sure that the wall is large enough that the creatures wont eat through the steel and cause 1000s of dollars worth of damage to the facility. A personnel must feed SCP-5362 the medicine labeled “SCP-5362” to them every day. This medicine causes their teeth to be more sensitive, and makes their eating-machine power a bit more manageable. A humidifier is also used for comfort in the cell, but it is hidden so they do not eat it.
Feeding them bread or any other human food is strictly prohibited. If a personnel does do this, they will most likely become food for SCP-5362.
Description: SCP-5362 is a small creature, no larger than 2 cm (0.7 Inches). They largely resemble a mite, and usually travel in swarms. They have tiny legs, but many of them, as well as a quite aerodynamic body. This allows them to travel quite fast, but not unmanageably speedy.
They will swarm up into groups of thousands and eat whatever is in their path, with an intent to eat more. This is what makes SCP-5362 so dangerous. Because of this trait, they are used by the facility to get rid of pests and breached SCP (Like at Site-██).
SCP-5362 were originally found in South America, but all are believed to be in custody of the foundation. They prefer moist areas, hence the humidifier. They do not drink much, most likely because they eat moist foods, which makes water not very necessary.
Termination of SCP-5362 is not necessary, as it can help out the foundation. The only acceptable time for termination is if they are breached, which then termination is necessary. If you do not terminate the now breached SCP, good luck containing it!
