Description

SCP-153 specimens are parasitic predators that swim up to a house bathroom and emerge from a shower head or a bathtub drain; they will then dissolve the drain cover with their acidic saliva and camouflage themselves to become the drain it just dissolved, which makes it impossible for humans to see if it is an actual shower drain or not.

When a human is in their bathtub, it will patiently wait until the victim starts showering. Soon after, they begin attacking by emerging from the bathtub's drain and release acid from the mouth to liquify their prey, then consume their liquified target. Once feeding is done, no trace of the victim can be found. Shower heads left running greatly assist in cleaning the bathtub of any evidence.

SCP-153 specimens are to be kept isolated from each other to prevent any breeding.

SCP-153 may have adapted to its environment after incidents in █████████████ that alerted the Foundation of its new hunting techniques, such as attacking people through sink drains and toilets.

Dr. Kovalanskaya has suggested a breeding researching program for SCP-153 and including a potential method of organic waste disposal. Dr. Kovalanskaya's suggestion has been approved by the Foundation. There is another proposal of controlled releases of SCP-153 instances to stall the spread of SCP-2717. This proposal is yet to be approved.
