 SCP-820 is a periodically manifesting swarm of locust grasshoppers that appears in certain areas of *** and Peru, colloquially known as Las Langostas Pintadas, or the Painted Locusts. In addition to crop and property damage, as may be expected from a locust swarm, the vicinity is visited by Las Langostas Pintadas, experienced heightened accidental death rates due to an as yet unexplained effect theorized to be a pseudo-hypnotic mental state caused by the constant color and motion of SCP-820. Victims of this effect, known as the R-Effect, in honor of the late Dr. R, experience a strong sense that they are somehow protected. Quote, everything is perfectly fine, you're totally safe, and nothing bad can happen.
