Item#: SCP-5084

Special Containment Procedures:

Description: The being commonly referred to as a "Muroch" (scp 5084) by local citizens of Gnarled Wood (a small town in North America) was captured as of March 13, 2020. Several MTF units were deployed weeks before but were unsuccessful in apprehending the elusive creature. SCP-5084 was described to us as "highly dangerous, an ancient trickster" and "to be avoided". However, the SCP Foundation feared that once it upgraded from hikers that strayed too close to it's territory and the occasional wandering cattle herd that it would travel to nearby towns and wreak havoc. Citizens attempted to convince agents that as long as they were respectful of the creature and it's land that it wouldn't harm them. They were unsuccessful. On February 18th an MTF team entered the forest in the hopes to capture SCP-5084 but never returned. Later, after SCP-5084 had been removed from the area search teams found several bodies however they had been mutilated beyond the possibility of identification. Nearly two weeks later on the 22nd another team was dispatched, this apparently angered the creature as the decapitated skulls of three agents were found adorning the sign to the trail head two days after.
