SCPA-EN-00255 Report

Item #: SCPA-EN-00255

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures:
Containment of SCPA-EN-00255 is currently focused on limiting and preventing its spread beyond its current location. SCPA-EN-00255 is contained in a large, custom-built containment chamber, with walls made of a mixture of reinforced steel and polymers, located in a remote, uninhabited area in [REDACTED]. The facility is manned by at least 20 specially trained personnel at all times.

Any personnel who enter SCPA-EN-00255's containment chamber must do so wearing full-body hazmat suits to avoid contamination. They must also carry weapons and have taken several weeks of training in hand-to-hand combat with spiders. All personnel are strictly prohibited from allowing SCPA-EN-00255 to escape its confinement, and any breach of protocol will result in immediate disciplinary action.

In the event of a containment breach, all entrances and exits to the facility must be immediately sealed, with a lethal dose of toxin being introduced into the chamber in hopes of neutralizing SCPA-EN-00255.

Description:
SCPA-EN-00255 is an anomaly consisting of several previously unknown species of spider housed within a single organism. SCPA-EN-00255 was initially discovered in a small cave system in [REDACTED], where it was found to be the result of a complex symbiotic relationship between hundreds of different spider species.

SCPA-EN-00255 is a hard-shelled, chitinous, spider-like creature composed of numerous hive minds, each simulating the individual behaviors of several hundred different species of spider. The hive minds exist somewhere between sentience and individual behavioral patterns but are able to work together to perform complex tasks when necessary. SCPA-EN-00255's behavior patterns can range from patterned mimicry of individual spider behaviors to orchestrated group behaviors seen across multiple species’ populations.

SCPA-EN-00255's symbiotic relationship within itself makes it incredibly dangerous; the hive minds can combine into a single entity that is capable of producing webbing, has an aggressive demeanor, and can spray multiple chemical substances that include toxins capable of incapacitating and killing prey.

SCPA-EN-00255's containment procedures must remain in place to prevent any chance of the organism leaving the facility and entering the general populace.

Additional Information:
Due to SCPA-EN-00255's aggressive nature and willingness to work together, researchers have had limited success in determining the full scope of SCPA-EN-00255's potential abilities. If it ever escapes containment, SCPA-EN-00255 could potentially disrupt entire ecosystems and pose a danger to humans and animals alike.

SCPA-EN-00255 has not been the subject of experimentation beyond its initial containment.

Classification level:
Top Secret

Notice:
Any breach of SCPA-EN-00255's containment protocols must be logged and immediately reported to the site director. Under no circumstances are personnel permitted to interact with SCPA-EN-00255 without proper training and equipment.
