SCP-6000.

Special containment procedures: SCP-6000 is to be kept in a small 2x2x2 meter, shatter-proof plexiglass box, with a small door on the side. SCP-6000's box will be kept inside a large steel 12x12x12 meter containment cell. No personnel under level three are to be allowed within SCP-6000's containment cell. In case of a containment breach, a sleeping agent will be released into the room that the box is contained in through the means of a small tube much smaller than SCP-6000 itself. personel should avoid coming within 3.05 meters of its containment box to prevent the trigger of its anomalous properties, and it should only be interacted with through the use of class-D personnel. SCP-6000 has been assigned to three staff members, Dr. Franklin, Dr. Banks, and Dr. Sylvester. SCP-6000 is currently contained at site 23.

Description: SCP-6000 resembles a medium size black snake (black rat snake) approximately 1.2192 meters long, with the front half resembling an extremely large Myriapod (centipede) of unknown species. SCP-6000 is active and has not been witnessed to stay in the same position for more than 45 seconds. SCP-6000 has the average intelligence of a Chordata. SCP-6000 only stays in its snake form when no humans are within 3.05 meters of it. If a human comes within 3.05 meters of SCP-6000, it will transform into their worst nature related fear. For instance, testing with D-122314 transformed SCP-6000 into an enormous Goliath Bird-eater, which sent D-122314 into a panic. It ran at her, killing her instantly, afterwards, it consumed her remains, leaving only her D-class jumper behind. Another test with D-441231 revealed that SCP-6000 does not only transform into sentient animals. In this test, SCP-6000 transformed into Urtica Dioica, or stinging nettle, which apparently was her worst fear at the time, due to childhood trauma related to the plant. SCP-6000 began to wave its leaves back and forth before jumping at D-441231 this caused her excruciating amounts of pain which was, apparent due to the high pitched screaming she admitted during the testing. The strange thing about this test was that she was not killed, only severely wounded. When she passed out due to her injuries, SCP-6000 retreated to the corner of the room and went into a sleep state, transforming back into its snake form.

Reference: SCP-6000 has only been responsible for eight deaths that we know of, six being class-D personnel, one being Dr. Franco paul, and the other being a Vietnamese woman. Tests with humanoid SCP's have yet to be conducted, but may be in the future. The reason SCP-6000 is Euclid class is because of the fact that its powers are not understood. It's thought to have no limits, other than the fact that it is bound by nature. In fact, it could become a disease, (as long as it's living) or even an alien life form with unfathomable powers, as long as the victim was aware and afraid of the creature's existence. It is not at a Keter level because it is easy to contain. (as long as no humans come near it).

Addendum 6000-1: A note was found in SCP-6000's cell that read "There's nothing to fear but fear itself." This could relate to another entity similar to SCP-6000. The note's origin is currently unknown.

The jungle area SCP-6000 was found in.

Ác Mộng Report, █/█/████: SCP-6000 was first discovered by an American soldier in the Vietnamese war in 19██. He was told of a "magic creature" by the locals near his outpost. It wasn't until several months later that he saw the creature himself. When he approached, it transformed into a Sus Scrofa, or a wild boar, and severely injured him. Only then was his partner, an embedded SCP staff member, able to notify the foundation. Later that week, SCP-6000 was successfully contained.
Afterwards, the soldier was taken to the foundation and questioned about SCP-6000.

Audio log from Interview 6000-1

Interviewer: Dr. Banks.

Interviewee: James ██████.

<Begin Log>

Dr. Banks: Hello, James, are you doing ok today?

James: Yes, I'm doing just fine, I'm just a little shaken up.

Dr. Banks: How did you happen to come across SCP-6000?

James: SCP what now?

Dr. Banks: The "magic snake", as you described it.

James: Oh yes, I know you might think I'm crazy, but you have got to believe me, that thing tried to kill me, and it nearly did!

Dr. Banks: Calm down, James. You will be fine, now please explain to me how you came across SCP-6000.

James: Ok, ok, Well, it was nighttime, me and my partner Jake were talking about this "magic creature" the locals nearby told us about, when we heard something off in the distance. Sure, we were in the jungle after all, we had been for months. We heard all sorts of strange sounds, but this was different, this was the sound of a woman screaming in seemingly agonizing pain. Of course, being the brave souls we were, Jake and I rushed to help. But by the time we got there, it was too late. She was dead. Vietnamese teenage girl… Dead.

Dr. Banks: Please continue.

James: Once I realized that the thing responsible could still be around, it was too late. A hideous snake with the legs of a centipede crawled up a tree right next to me. I shivered in fear and disgust as it went up the tree, but by then it had already begun…

James: …

Dr. Banks:  What happened?

James: It… Transformed. It began to change into something awful.
My partner was gone, I suppose he ran away in fear, but I was frozen. Once the
transformation was complete, I finally saw it. A fat, disgusting hog with razor sharp tusks, Saliva dripping from its mouth. How did it know I hated hogs? That was the only thing going through my mind at that moment, but those thoughts wasted my time. It started to run, but it didn't need to. I was only 10 feet from the horrid thing. Then it jumped on me, it used its tusks to tear into my flesh and I screamed in pain. Then I passed out.

Dr. Banks: Thank you, James.

James: Are we done now? Please, I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Dr. Banks: Yes, I've gotten all the information I need. Thank you for your time.

James: By the way, do you know what happened to Jake? Did he go back to the outpost?!

Dr. Banks: I'm sorry, but he was found dead close to you.

James: No… God no.

<End log>

Addendum 6000-2: After the interview, James was issued amnesties, as is standard protocol, and was returned to his family under the pretense that he had suffered a mental health crisis and had been honorably discharged from the army. On the subject of Jake, he was not missing, rather, he was housed in a foundation facility, to remain out of the eyes of the public until talk of his disappearance died down. In order to not trigger recollection of previous events, Jake is not permitted to ever speak to James. When asked about the subject of James, Jake replied with "I wish I could have told him why I left. I needed to notify the foundation. He was a dear friend. But I am loyal to the foundation, and to the foundation over friends."
