SCP-008

Description. SCP-008 is a complex prion, the research of which is highly classified and primarily aimed at preventing research which may lead to the synthesis of SCP-008 in the distant future. Traits of the SCP-008 prion include:

The subject can adapt to its damaged nervous systems but is limited to basic physical activities, including standing up, balancing on two legs, walking, biting, grabbing, and crawling. They will energetically move towards sights, sounds, and smells it associates with living humans and will attempt to ingest them if physical contact is made. Neutralizing fully-infected subjects requires significant cranial trauma SCP-500 has been recorded to completely cure the effects of SCP-008, even in the advanced stages of the disease. When a person is fully infected with SCP-008, their body undergoes a period of sporadic cellular necrosis, with the surviving tissue assuming its original function while being highly resilient. The red blood cells inside the victim's body greatly increase oxygen storage capacity, resulting in slower blood flow and increased muscle endurance and strength. The body's metabolism may decrease to extremely low levels, allowing subject to survive for over 10 years without nutrition.
 * 100% infectiousness.
 * 100% lethality.
 * Transmission through exposed mucous membranes and all bodily fluids.
 * Not airborne or waterborne.
