Has anyone else heard about these blood thirsty little guys?
> Description: SCP-1563 is a predatory organism resembling plastic property markers commonly used in rural areas. Specimens of SCP-1563 usually exhibit pink coloration, though orange and blue coloration have been recently discovered. SCP-1563 has very durable and sharp tooth-like structures measuring 1.5 mm covering the ventral side of its body. These teeth are used to puncture the neck of its prey.
> SCP-1563 exhibits behavior of ambush predators, attaching itself to trees or other standing wooden structures. When a prey animal passes by, SCP-1563 will detach and leap onto its target, then wrap around its prey's neck and strangle it to death before puncturing its neck using sharp teeth and feeding on its blood. SCP-1563's preferred prey appears to be Odocoileus virginianus (White-Tailed Deer) and as such poses minimal threat to humans unless provoked or malnourished. SCP-1563 is able to survive for up to two weeks without food.
Yes, they are easily mistaken for something else as the photo at this link shows. Chilling.
