  • thumb|185px|SCP-165 escapa del calor del sol en un edificio abandonado Ítem #: SCP-165 Clase del Objeto: Keter Procedimientos Especiales de Contención: Guardado en la instalación armada Área 14 de Bio-Contención, SCP-165 deberá ser tratado como un organismo patológico contagioso, las más altas medidas de esterilización y cuarentena deberán ser seguidas y aplicadas. Campos generadores de microondas alrededor del área de SCP-165 están colocados para restringir el movimiento de su duna dentro del área de contención. Una vez cada nueve (9) días, SCP-165 es alimentado con cabezas de ganado pesando no menos de Setecientos cincuenta (750) kilogramos. Descripción: El componente orgánico de SCP-165 se parece a aquellos de ácaros parasitarios, setecientos cincuenta (750) micrómetros en longitud, con ocho (8) patas y una estructura genética similar a la de los ácaros de polvo. La diferencia principal es el comportamiento similar a cangrejos ermitaños de adherir granos de arena a su espalda. Se desconoce el propósito que la arena cumple. Pero las masivas colonias de SCP-165 superan en número los millones, billones, posiblemente trillones, creando una duna bastante colosal. thumb|185px|Una imagen de SCP-165 hecha con un microscopio electrónico Las similitudes entre [DATOS ELIMINADOS] y SCP-165 son solo superficiales. Las colonias de [DATOS ELIMINADOS] son de naturaleza protozoaria y aparentemente muestra una inteligencia colectiva y consciencia que no se entiende. La colonia de SCP-165 está compuesta de ácaros individuales que no muestran cooperación sino más bien competencia en la búsqueda de alimentos. Al igual que los mosquitos, dependen de la detección química de dióxido de carbono y azúcares en el aire para encontrar a su presa. Los ácaros ruedan y trepan los unos sobre los otros en camino a la presa, usando solo sus piernas para trepar sobre los demás. Cuando entran en contacto con la carne de animales, liberan una toxina química adormecedora por su mordida, similar en composición a la de las picaduras de mosquitos y pulgas. Los sujetos en general se encuentran ignorantes del hecho de que millones de ácaros están "tomando turnos" para tomar porciones de su carne mientras se amontonan alrededor de su víctima. Un enjambre típico es similar a un vórtice giratorio alrededor de una víctima o de uno de sus apéndices. La colonia de SCP-165 es suficientemente eficiente en su acumulación competitiva para que la mayoría de los apéndices animales pueden ser consumidos y reducidos a huesos en minutos. La toxina adormecedora es tan efectiva que víctimas que estén dormidas no despertarán mientras se comen sus extremidades. thumb|Estas imágenes, tomadas antes de contención, fueron realizadas con un dron terrestre no tripulado Los ácaros son resistentes a todos los pesticidas, excepto los más peligrosos. Se retiran del calor y comúnmente buscarán sombra si está disponible, siendo más activos durante la noche, cazando presas grandes que duermen. Su vulnerabilidad al calor es la técnica más preferida para su contención. Anexo - Adquisición: Es aparente que el gobierno estadounidense ha sido consciente de la existencia de dunas de SCP-165 por unos ochenta (80) años. El área donde se halló a SCP-165 es ahora el pueblo fantasma olvidado de inmigrantes alemanes Fredricksburg, Arizona, en el desierto Tule, cerca del campo de bombardeo de la Fuerza Aérea Goldwater. El remoto pueblo de Fredricksburg fue fundado en algún momento a finales de los 1800s y para 1908 se había convertido en un pueblo fantasma. Una tropa de caballería que pasaba reportó que los habitantes habían desaparecido y que los edificios estaban vacíos. Intentaron quedarse una noche en el hotel abandonado, solo para que siete (7) de sus caballos fueran reducidos a pilas de huesos. Todos menos cuatro (4) de los soldados huyeron en medio de la noche, diciendo que el edificio se estaba llenando de arena como si fuera una inundación. Esos cuatro nunca fueron vistos de nuevo. thumb|185px|El edificio en pie más completo de Fredricksburg, Arizona, era el hogar de la duna más grande de SCP-165 A finales de los 50, el ejército de los Estados Unidos intentó exterminar a SCP-165 al convertir el área en un campo de bombardeos. Fue exitoso reduciendo los números de SCP-165, pero a finales de los 80 se hizo aparente que se necesitaba una limpieza y extracción terrestre para remover la presencia de SCP-165. El Destacamento Móvil Epsilon-9 ("Come-fuegos") fue despachado para la contención y extracción de SCP-165. Al entrar al pueblo de Fredricksburg, se encontró un letrero volteado, que leía "Vorsicht vor den kriechenden, hungrigen Sanden" que traduce "Cuidado con las rastreras y hambrientas arenas". Los aceleradores de llamas del DM Ɛ-9 probaron ser exitosos en convertir la arena de SCP-165 a vidrio y reduciendo su número a un tamaño manejable. Una duna viviente de cerca de cuatro (4) toneladas métricas de SCP-165 fue contenida y transportada al Área-14 en donde se encuentra monitoreada y contenida.
  • Item #: SCP-165 Object Class: Keter Special Containment Procedures: Housed in a facility at Armed Bio-Containment Area-14, SCP-165 is to be treated as a contagious, pathological organism. The highest sterilization and quarantine procedures are to be followed. Microwave field generators around SCP-165's area are in place to restrict movement of its dune within its containment area. Once every nine (9) days, SCP-165 is fed live cattle weighing at least seven hundred fifty (750) kilograms. Description: The organic component of SCP-165 resembles that of typical parasitic mites, seven hundred fifty (750) micrometers in length, with eight (8) legs and a genetic structure similar to the house dust mite. The main difference is the hermit-crab-like behavior of attaching grains of sand to its back. It is unknown what purpose the sand serves, but the massive colony of SCP-165 numbers in the hundreds of billions to possibly trillions, creating a rather large dune. The similarities between [DATA EXPUNGED] and SCP-165 are only superficial. [DATA EXPUNGED]'s colony is protozoan in nature and apparently shows a collective intelligence and awareness that is not understood. SCP-165's colony is made up of individual Acari who don't show cooperation but rather competition in the hunt for food. Like mosquitoes, they rely on chemical detection of carbon dioxide and sugars in the air to detect prey. The Acari mites roll and bound over one another toward prey, only using their legs to climb over one another. 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. A typical swarm resembles a swirling vortex around a victim or victim's appendage. 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. Addendum - Acquisition: It is apparent that the US Government has been aware of dunes of SCP-165 for some eighty (80) years. The area where SCP-165 was found is now a forgotten German immigrant ghost town of Fredricksburg, Arizona, in the Tule Desert near the Goldwater Air Force Bombing Range. The remote town of Fredricksburg was founded sometime in the late 1800s and by 1908 had become a ghost town. A passing cavalry troop reported that the inhabitants had disappeared and that the buildings were empty. They attempted to stay one night in the abandoned hotel, only to have seven (7) of their horses reduced to piles of bone. All but four (4) of the soldiers fled in the middle of the night, saying that sand was filling the building like a flood of water. Those four were never seen again. The most complete standing building of Fredricksburg, Arizona, was home to the largest dune of SCP-165]]During the late 1950s, the U.S. military attempted to exterminate SCP-165 by turning the area into a bombing range. It was successful in reducing the numbers of SCP-165, but in the late 1980s, it became apparent that a ground cleanup and extraction was needed to remove the presence of SCP-165. Mobile Task-Force Epsilon-9 (aka "Fire Eaters") were dispatched for containment and extraction of SCP-165. Upon entering the town of Fredricksburg, an upturned sign was found, reading "Vorsicht vor den kriechenden, hungrigen Sanden" which translates to "Beware the creeping, hungry sands." The flame accelerators of MTF Ɛ-9 proved highly successful in glassing the sand of SCP-165 and reducing its number to a manageable size. A living dune of nearly four (4) metric tons of SCP-165 was contained and transported to ABC Area-14 where it is monitored and contained.

Like anesthetic, the numbing toxin is so effective that sleeping victims may not wake up as their limbs are eaten away. The Acari mites are resistant to all but the most dangerous of pesticides. They retreat from heat and will often seek shade when available, being the most active during the night, hunting for large sleeping prey. Their vulnerability to heat is the most preferable technique for containment.
