 SCP-775 appears to be a form of arachnid of the order Ixodida, more commonly known as the tick. It is of a significantly larger size, with most unengorged adults reaching a size comparable with a US nickel. Coloration varies between black, red, yellow, gray, and various shades of each. Youths possess eight legs, while juveniles possess only six. SCP-775 is capable of making small leaps, and travels very rapidly along solid surfaces. SCP-775 shares the trait of a flexible body structure, but is much more robust than the common tick, capable of surviving crushing, cutting, or tearing, with little to no damage, and capable of flattening out to slide through 0.25 centimeter gaps.
