SCP-553, also known as the Crystalline Butterflies, are an hostile species in the SCP Foundation series. They are a species of butterflies composed of minerals and can use their wings to cut any creature they encounter.

They appear in Unity's 2018 remake version of SCP - Containment Breach as minor antagonists.

History[]

Exactly how SCP-553 was formed is unclear, but the species was discovered in a cave system in an unknown location in China. The SCP Foundation has made an agreement with the Chinese State of Security to block off the cave system from the public by declaring it as a munitions testing site that only the military can enter. The Foundation has also spread mythological stories of demons in the cave to further discourage the public from going there.

125 instances of the SCP has been moved to Site-37 for testing. They are contained in an 8×17×5 meter steel-walled room that has been carefully designed to replicate the cave system the SCP instances were found in. Proper dehumidifying of the cave keeps the contained area at 50% or less.

Appearance[]

SCP-553 refers to a colony of winged organisms superficially resembling butterflies, approximately One hundred, forty-four thousand of them. They possess silicon-based biochemistry and are composed primarily of calcium and silicate compounds. The swarm communicated via echos and would warn the colony when danger occurred.

The swarm of SCP-553 would gather when an adult instance met with danger and sent their message. They attack their target with their solid wings, cutting their skin and causing damage. The target would die of their injury either instantly, or through infections afterward.

Biography[]

Up to 140,000 instances of the SCP are reported to exist. Their physical makeup is explained to be silicon-based with calcium and silicate compounds. Quartz and piezoelectric organs have been discovered inside each instance. Their average wingspan is 2.3 centimeters.

The shape and movement of the SCP would suggest the life cycle is based on how insects are formed, but instead, crystal seeds and crystal growth are how the SCPs are formed and grow larger. Adults deposit crystal seeds on stalactites that hatch after 12 days. SCP-553 larval stages last about 70 days, after this, the wings begin to grow. During the transition from the larval to the adult stage, the wings of an instance of SCP-553 grow rapidly, becoming fully formed in less than 9 hours, at which point the adult will detach from the stalactite. Through an unknown process, SCP-553 maintains a relatively stable population, with eggs only being laid when an adult dies.

Similar to bats, the instances use echolocation to get around. These sounds are created by striking their legs together. Their legs also have the ability to detect the composition of the surfaces they touch. Adult instances of SCP-553 feed by scraping fungus and lichen from cavern surfaces and, to a lesser extent, leaching minerals from stalagmites using a similar acid as used by the larval stage.

Any adult instance that receives any damage will cause other instances to sense this damage and begin attacking the threat with the sharpness of their wings. Pieces of wings can actually break off in a victim and keep causing further damage.

In Video Games[]

SCP - Containment Breach Remake[]

The swarm of SCP-553 appears as minor antagonists in the 2018 remake of SCP - Containment Breach, where it is found in its temporary containment chamber underground.

Current Version[]

The swarm of SCP-553 can be seen at the end of the tunnel and would attack the player if they came too close. They would rapidly attack the player for one damage each, though it would stack up easily. SCP-553 has no impact on the game as a whole and is a showcase.

Unlike SCP-173, SCP-106 or SCP-650, SCP-533 would only be discovered in their containment room and would not go anywhere.

Future Version[]

The current version of SCP-553's containment chamber is a temporary one. It is revealed that in a future update, SCP-553's true containment chamber will be added. However, it will be damaged and empty.

Trivia[]

  • This silicate impurity adds rigidity to the creature, giving it a rating from 3.5 to 4.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale.
