A specimen of SCP-3160 in its enclosure.

Background

SCP-3160 is the collective designation for, at the time of writing, one hundred and twenty nine yellowjacket wasps capable of shifting from a physical state to a conceptual one. When a specimen of SCP-3160 is threatened, it will cease existing physically and attach itself to the conceptual framework of a nearby object.

While conceptually attached to an object, the specimen of SCP-3160 is also present within all objects with a similar conceptual framework within a radius of ten kilometers. SCP-3160 can also emerge physically from any such object within that radius, making their conceptual properties an effective form of escape as well as concealment.

While in its conceptual form, SCP-3160 can physically interfere with any organism within a meter of any of the objects it is inhabiting. This interference takes the form of numerous, repeated stings, often encouraging the organism to retreat further away from the object. These stings have been shown to have no properties outside of those expected from a normal yellowjacket wasp.

Powers and Techniques

Small Size (Bug-Sized; Wasps vary from 13mm to 40mm in size), Natural Weaponry, Penetration Damage (Physical Penetration) and Poison Manipulation (Wasps have venom which they inject by stinging), Transformation (Concept Shifting; SCP-3160 is one hundred and twenty nine yellowjacket wasps capable of shifting from a physical state to a conceptual one), Abstract Existence (Conceptual, Absolute Abstraction;) & Personal Nonexistence (Material Nonexistence; When a specimen of SCP-3160 is threatened, it will cease existing physically and attach itself to the conceptual framework of a nearby object), Fusionism (SCP-3160 conceptually attches themselves to a nearby object), Absolute Access (SCP-3160 can also emergy physically from any such object within a ten kilometer radius), Imperceivable Attacks (While in its conceptual form, SCP-3160 can physically interfere with any organism within a meter of any of the objects it is inhabiting. These stings have shown to have no properties outside of those expected from a noraml yellowjacket wasp)

Equipment

None notable

Other

Standard Tactics: If threatened, it will cease existing physically and attach itself to the conceptual framework of a nearby object and will then sting it's target numerous time from where it is (Ex: SCP-3160 entered a tree, it will use all the trees 1 meter away from the opponent to sting them).

Weaknesses: Nothing notable.

Containment Records

None.

None.
