  We consider a simple renormalizable model providing a UV completion for dark
matter whose interactions with the Standard Model are primarily via the gluons.
The model consists of scalar dark matter interacting with scalar colored
mediator particles. A novel feature is the fact that (in contrast to more
typical models containing dark matter whose interactions are mediated via
colored scalars) the colored scalars typically decay into multi-quark final
states, with no associated missing energy. We construct this class of models
and examine associated phenomena related to dark matter annihilation,
scattering with nuclei, and production at colliders.
