SCP Orientation is an archive of files of the SCP Foundation.

Today we will be studying item number SCP-165: The Creeping, Hungry Sands of Tule, Object class: Keter.

The organic component of SCP-165 resembles that of typical parasitic mites, with 8 legs and a genetic structure similar to the house dust mite. SCP-165's colony is made up of individual Acari who don't show cooperation but rather competition in the hunt for food. When in contact with the flesh of animals, they release a numbing chemical toxin in their bite, similar in make-up to that of mosquito and flea bite toxins. Subjects are typically unaware that millions of mites are 'taking turns' at grabbing mouthfuls of its flesh as they swarm around their victim.

The SCP-165 colony is efficient enough in their competitive swarming that most animals' appendages can be de-fleshed and reduced to bone within minutes. 

The numbing toxin is so effective that sleeping victims may not wake up as their limbs are eaten away.

Proceed to begin your training.
