 SCP-839 appears to be a species of antelid, composed of sugar, flavoring, and coloring. A microscopic label stating, Candied Worm, is found near each instance's posterior, followed by a smaller label stating the instance's flavor. SCP-839 is generally found in temperate areas. SCP-839's diet mainly consists of decomposing organic matter. However, when there is no decaying matter apparent, SCP-839 may ingest live plant matter. SCP-839 sexually reproduces, mating, followed by the egg hatching into a newborn instance of SCP-839. When SCP-839 is ingested by any mammal, it will burrow through the stomach lining and towards a specialized organ.
