The chamber is to be supplied with approximately half (1/2) of a kilogram of various plant matter daily. Mating of SCP-839 is to be regulated, and any extra instances of SCP-839 are to be kept in Foundation medical centers for treatment of ill individuals. **Description:** SCP-839 appears to be a species of annelid composed of sugar, flavouring and colouring. A microscopic label stating "CANDIED WORM" is found near each instance's posterior, followed by a smaller label stating the instance's "flavour". Each "flavour" is currently designated as SCP-839-x. 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 [REDACTED], 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. The choice of organ appears to be dependent on SCP-839's "flavour". SCP-839 will then attach itself to the organ and slowly ingest it. While the organ disappears, SCP-839 will change in form and chemical composition in order to match the organ. SCP-839 does not act as a perfect replacement, and other effects may occur. This process may take █ to ██ days to complete.[[footnote]]Similarities between the life cycles of SCP-839 and [[[SCP-1517]]] has been noted. Investigation into the possibility of a shared origin is under investigation.[[/footnote]] SCP-839 has an average lifespan of three years. Users of SCP-839 are recommended to replace their integrated instance with a new instance every two years. **Addendum 839-1:** Current "flavours" of SCP-839 ||~ "Flavour" ||~ Colouration ||~ Organ Replaced ||~ Other Effects ||~ Designation || || Cherry || Red || Heart || Increased blood sugar, Type-2 Diabetes || SCP-839-1 || || Blue Raspberry || Blue || Kidney (One) || Blue urine || SCP-839-2 || || Green Apple || Green || Eye (One) || Mild hallucinations, "greenish" tint || SCP-839-3 || || Watermelon || Pink || Brain || [DATA EXPUNGED] || SCP-839-4 || || Lemon || Yellow || Stomach || Less Fibre content, diarrhea (Note: recommended for use with other instances of SCP-839, due to the ulcers created) || SCP-839-5 || || Grape || Purple || Lung (one) || "Fruity" smell to breath || SCP-839-6 || || Orange || Orange || Liver || Increased acidity of bloodstream (Not recommended) || SCP-839-7 || [[footnoteblock]] [[div class="footer-wikiwalk-nav"]] [[=]] << [[[SCP-838]]] | SCP-839 | [[[SCP-840]]] >> [[/=]] [[/div]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box]] ===== > **Filename:** SCP-312.png > **Author:** Brian Gratwicke (edits by [[*user S D Locke]] > **License:** CC-BY-SA 2.0 > **Source Link:** https://www.flickr.com/photos/briangratwicke/33338251316 ===== [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box-end]]
