No fewer than six personnel are allowed to enter SCP-3344 containment area at a time. All personnel entering are required to have at least 2 children.

Description: SCP-3344 is a large group of small children, fluctuating between a count twenty-five and thirty, ranging in age from four to six years old. SCP-3344 are each dress in makeshift clothing and fingerpaint all over their bodies and faces. SCP-3344 are slightly below what would be expected for their apparent age.

When energized, SCP-3344 is capable of immense destruction, both as a group and individually. When attacking, SCP-3344 behaves as a hivemind to inflict the most damage. SCP-3344 is able to tear through various metals and terrain, and is able to consume any organic matter within seconds.

SCP-3344's limit to it's endurance varies. Research has shown that the longest recorded time of SCP-3344 being energized has been 48 hours, though it's suspected that under the right circumstances, could last longer. After becoming exhausted, all instances of SCP-3344 will stop and lay down on the ground and fall asleep for between 30 minutes and 10 hours.

Experiment Log 1.3344

Subject: SCP-3344 and SCP-682

Preface: SCP-3344 is lead into the containment chamber of SCP-682 as it is recovering from its submission in its acid bath. SCP-3344 destructive capabilities are still yet to be fully understood, and this Log is an attempt to learn more.

Result: SCP-3344 immediately begins to attack SCP-682 with biting and attempts to eat it's flesh, and tearing at it's limbs. SCP-682 attacks SCP-3344, successfully killing individuals through crushing and eating. However, it is observed that SCP-3344 is capable of regenerating individuals as quickly as 90 seconds.

SCP-3344 and SCP-682 continued fighting for 2 hours before stopping. All instances of SCP-3344 fell asleep around SCP-682. SCP-682 sustained destruction of 80% of its original mass. SCP-3344 was removed from SCP-682's containment chamber and returned to its own.

Experiment Log 2.3344

Subject: SCP-3344 and SCP-1009

Preface: SCP-1009 is brought into SCP-3344's containment unit just as SCP-3344 wakes up from their scheduled nap.

Result: All instances of SCP-3344 immediately proceed to run towards SCP-1009. SCP-1009 does not run from SCP-3344, instead allowing SCP-3344 to pull, climb, and bite him.

After five minutes, SCP-1009 is somehow able to stop SCP-3344's attack. SCP-3344 stands in front of SCP-1009 for 30 seconds before two of them grab SCP-1009's arm and pull him over to a pile of toys. SCP-1009 joins SCP-3344 in playing. This continues for an hour before SCP-3344 tires and fall asleep. SCP-1009 is removed and returned to their containment area.

SCP-3344 has since asked to play with SCP-1009 again on a regular basis.

It has been suggested that SCP-1009 be utilized as a means to contain SCP-3344 during containment breaches.
