 SCP-378 is an arthropod, superficially resembling a deformed larval instance of Scolopendra Gigantia, the Amazonian giant centipede. SCP-378 is capable of asexual reproduction at will, producing instances of SCP-378A from its anus. SCP-378A are obligate endoparasites, infecting advanced primates such as humans. On infection, SCP-378A integrates itself with its host's nervous system, through poorly understood means, inducing brain death and extending SCP-378's remote control to the host itself. Vital functions and sensory input remain unaffected.
