Item #: SCP- XXXX (The Hunter)
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP- XXXX is to be kept in Area- 35 in a forest within the Republic of [REDACTED] in Russia where they are left to be solitary until interaction is required. 2 Foundation Personnel are required to watch cameras inside the forest 24/7, to make sure no animals not released by the Foundation enter the forest. A team of 6 Guards are to always be ready to take information of any animals entering, and will be sent to exterminate them. Containment Specialists are needed to make sure animals with canisters of dimethyl trisulfide as well as trackers are attached to them, and the canisters will release the gas once their heart rate stops. Once the animals are dead they are to be removed before SCP- XXXX will be able to recover from the gas. Under absolutely no circumstances are any Foundation Personnel to harm SCP- XXXX due to the death of it will cause it to reform outside of containment and require a recapture.
Description: SCP- XXXX is a humanoid creature standing up to 2.4 metres tall with a black cloak on and no visible head or eyes besides an Elk skull that is not attached to anything else on the body. SCP- XXXX always carries a bow with them and removal of the bow is forbidden due to consequences that occur only seconds after the SCP is not in contact with their bow.
SCP- XXXX often hums the Russian lullaby "Bayu Bayushki Bayu" which is why containment specialists are required to make sure SCP- XXXX's containment cannot be entered by no one without at least level 2 clearance, for an currently unexplained reason the lullaby causes animals or more commonly wolves to try and find where the lullaby is coming from, the only basis we have on why wolves try to search for the lullaby is due to in translation, the original lullaby mentions "The Old Grey Wolf" Snatching children from their beds.
SCP- XXXX although prefers killing wolves more than humans, they do get "Bloodlust if they cannot kill anything for a long time, and this bloodlust can cause severe damage to the containment. During a bloodlust we have noticed that SCP- XXXX gets a lot stronger and also stops using their bow when attempting to kill something. During one bloodlust they had they managed to break into the site with their hands only and immediately killed a researcher. Soon after their kill the bloodlust ended and they just stared at the dead researcher before running back to her containment. The day after the death of the researcher, SCP- XXXX was not humming her usual lullaby nor could we find them on the cameras, it was believed that they felt guilty about the killing.
SCP- XXXX's mental status after killing a wolf or human changes immediately into a feeding status. SCP- XXXX Feeds on their "Prey" by pushing their skull against the chest of the dead specimen, this process strangely causes the flesh/meat inside them to fully turn into a gas form of Yersinia Pestis that once released does not cause a full widespread, but will infect anyone not wearing protective gear in a short range of the carrier. Thankfully, the disease isn't stronger than the original which allows the possibility of certain medical treatment on the infected to cure them.
Although SCP- XXXX fills corpses with the Yersinia Pestis disease, it does not horrendously bad smells. Therefore, when wolves are sent into the forest for her to kill, each one is checked to have a canister of dimethyl trisulfide that is ready to detonate once they are killed. The reason why this chemical in particular is crucial to keep SCP- XXXX from the corpses is because when they kill something they quickly feed before the body rots too much due to the smell being too much for them to handle, dimethyl trisulfide is the near equivalent to the smell of a rotten corpse so among all other options, using it was more effective and faster than finding a different way. And SCP- XXXX does not interfere with personnel removing the corpses.
SCP- XXXX has refused communicating with personnel until the breach during their bloodlust and killing a researcher. It was presumed that the lack of activity was due to the killing and that SCP- XXXX might've felt actual guilt about the killing.

[Begin Log]
Dr. ███: SCP- XXXX, are you able to speak to me?
(No Answer)
Dr. ███: SCP- XXXX, we need to-
SCP- XXXX: (Interrupts) Hunter.
Dr. ███: What?
SCP- XXXX: My name is Hunter, not SCP- XXXX you bloody Bolshevik.
Dr. ███: Well then Hunter, I would like to talk to you about the researcher you killed a few days ago.
SCP- XXXX: I'm sorry I killed them, I was not in control because I did not have anything to hunt for ages.
Dr. ███: Can you give us any explanation why you need to hunt often? Or why you prefer hunting wolves?
SCP- XXXX: It's hard to answer that considering I don't even know how I came to exist. I just woke up next to some bones and a wooden bow, then I walked away from those bones. Nothing was happening for hours, I didn't feel the need to kill nor did I feel anything at all.
Dr. ███: Can you explain to me why you wanted to start killing things? What was your turning point from being peaceful, and why do you need to kill so badly?
SCP- XXXX: While I was walking through the forest I found a cabin, it was seemingly empty when I went inside, but then once I went to the second floor of the building I found a small bed in one room that was covered in blood, then I heard static in my head that turned into words. (In Russian) "Sleep my darling tiny one, tucked in your bed so tight." It stopped for a moment and I had to regain my thoughts.
Dr. ███: Alright, but why were wolves th-
SCP- XXXX (Interrupts) The reason why I target wolves, is because after regaining my ability to think I followed a trail of blood from the bed that led outside. I followed it for an hour and eventually heard a scream, it was inside a wolf den and once I went inside, I witness wolves tear up an injured young girl. Seeing this was… Painful, I didn't want to keep seeing it so I killed the wolves. However, the girl had no survived. Then the lullaby appeared again. (In Russian) "else the old grey wolf will come, and grab you by your side."
Dr. ███: Was the death of that child heartbreaking for you? Is there any explainable reason to why you felt empathy for this child?
SCP- XXXX (Silence)
Dr. ███: Are you there Hunter?
SCP- XXXX: (Quietly) The reason why it was painful is because I saw a vision of who I was, I am literally a reincarnation of death. Killed by ignorance because I wasn't protected from the wolves that invaded my home, the ones I called my saviours failed to be that. I perished while they lived, and soon after I saw this, I knew where they were. I found and killed them, mercilessly, painfully, they didn't get to even say sorry for failing me. It felt incredible, I wanted more, now here I am. captured and bloodthirsty.
Dr. ███: Well, I don't think this interview will not have to continue any longer, you've given enough information to make your containment better, and also be more prepared to feed your bloodlust.
SCP- XXXX: I'd likely be satiated longer if you allowed me to feed but I guess the plague is more dangerous than a being that broke into a protected facility, killing a possibly valuable researcher that could have spent time making a vaccine that makes people immune to the plague for a certain amount of time. But to each their own I suppose.
Dr. ███: (Silent for a moment) Thanks for the extra input.

Addendum XXXX.1 Discovery
First report we received from our Field Agents is when a group of hunters in the Republic of [REDACTED] in Russia. The hunters were in the Kirov region when they found an entire line of dead wolves, and within the forest they kept hearing the old children's lullaby Bayu Bayushki Bayu and howling from wolves, they immediately reported this to law enforcement which tipped off the foundation, then they began operations to capture it.
It was suspected that the SCP was likely still in the Kirov region so 3 Agents were sent to scout for this SCP, they soon found it then requested backup to capture it. Issue however was that during the capture they removed the bow they were carrying from their grasp, soon after doing this their skull shattered in pieces at an intense enough velocity for the shards to penetrate through the armour of the personnel killing 2 of them and injuring the rest. Soon after the SCP self-destructed, it reformed it's body with a nearby skull of a stag and while the personnel was incapacitated, it ran over to get their bow and run off.
Personnel that survived during the first attempt in capturing SCP- XXXX were needing to recover which forced the foundation to send new agents to capture SCP- XXXX, and once again soon after sending the Agents they found SCP- XXXX again very fast but the only issue was getting them to a possible containment without it killing itself and reforming. This left the foundation with the only option being making the containment in the forest, thankfully SCP- XXXX did not try to run from the agents that were making sure it doesn't leave the area during the making of their containment.
Addendum XXXX.2 Object Class Explanation
While observing SCP- XXXX's behaviour, we have noticed that it tends to allow personnel into their territory without harm and has even given us certain resources it finds that has assisted in making sure other SCP's remain in their containment, or for us to do research on to learn more about SCP- XXXX. The reason why they are a Keter class rather than Euclid however is due to it's bloodlust and what it does to the corpses of wolves. Due to the containment being in the forest and SCP- XXXX is always humming Bayu Bayushki, wolves are always trying to break into containment. We need people always watching and be ready to locate any stray wolves, and terminate them before SCP- XXXX can reach them, and remove them from containment. Although with how anti hostile SCP- XXXX is naturally, they do get very angry when their kill is taken by the foundation and has injured personnel over it.
Often in most Keter class SCP's they usually are making compromises in their containment, as well as trying to escape, while SCP- XXXX has without any severe reason never tried escaping their containment. With these variables playing into how dangerous they are, the reason why they are a Keter class is because of the amount of "Feeding" we have to give them for them to remain mentally stable, so they do not get overly aggressive to breach containment, and attack staff. Another variable is the amount of time we have to spend preparing the wolves it wants to kill to make sure that she doesn't replace feed into it's body and create the bubonic plague with the meat inside them. The most efficient way to prevent them from recreating the plague in the wolves is attaching containers with dimethyl trisulfide, and sending in the wolves with a tracker and heart rate triggers on the canisters to make them detonate upon death. The amount of supervision forces us to capture, prepare, send, and retrieve, then repeat it over again.
