Digital reproduction of SCP-XXXX. Such copies do not exhibit the behavior of the original.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Elucid Keter

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be stored behind acrylic glass no less than 5 millimeters thick. SCP-XXXX is not to be stored near any other SCPs that are hostile to organic life in any shape or form, as per orders by Doctor ██████. Experiments involving SCP-XXXX require permission from personnel of level 2 clearance. Personnel are to take standard cognitohazard precautions when interacting with SCP-XXXX.

There are to be no activities or experiments that involve the drawing of blood nearby within one mile; furthermore, SCP-XXXX should be kept in a remote area in order to prevent civilian activities from triggering anomalous behavior. If a blood-drawing incident occurs, the facility is to be put on full lockdown until SCP-XXXX returns to its normal state.

In order to preserve SCP-XXXX's nature for research, Doctor ████ has arranged for a blood bank to supply donated blood that will serve as SCP-XXXX's sustenance while in containment. SCP-XXXX is to be fed 3 bags of donated blood every week, inserted through a special slot. The bags will be returned empty the next day, on the floor near the painting. The painting should be transported with the appropriate amount of blood bags for the length of the trip.

SCP-XXXX is to be transported in a steel crate no less than 2 cm thick by D-class personnel. The painting should be transported with the appropriate amount of blood bags for the length of the trip. It is not to be transported without explicit permission from an official of A-class rank.

Armed guards are to be present at any facility containing SCP-XXXX following the incident on 1/30/2012, in order to facilitate rapid recontainment in the event of a containment breach.
Description:
Originally an untitled work by ████████ █████████, SCP-XXXX is an oil painting two-thirds of a meter in width and one meter in length. The painting depicts a creature brawling through an urban wasteland and has been named "The Wasteland Crawler" informally. If blood is shed within a mile of the painting, SCP-XXXX-1, will emerge from the painting. SCP-XXXX-1 is hostile to all organic life and will attempt to kill anything it sees, as well as whatever being shed the blood that awakened it. It attacks using its claws, killing either by slitting the throat, sheer blood loss, or snapping the neck at the base of the skull. The being that caused SCP-XXXX-1 to awaken, SCP-XXXX-2,'s life is forfeit.

SCP-XXXX is currently being stored at Site-██ in [DATA EXPUNGED]. It was previously stored at Site-██ in [REDACTED], but was moved after an incident involving a mentally unstable D-class person smashing the glass containing SCP-XXXX, in the process shedding blood - this resulted in multiple casualties, including that of Doctor █████████, who was overseeing the experiment in which the incident occurred.

SCP-XXXX has displayed signs of sentience. It also possesses a psionic ability that will cause a fear reflex in other sentient beings. In the mentally ill, it appears to have the opposite effect, causing them to be attracted to SCP-XXXX instead, and are compelled to "free it", often to the effect of becoming SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 both display a carnal desire for the blood of the living, and it appears SCP-XXXX-1 grows weaker if blood is not consumed. Failure to sustain SCP-XXXX may result in natural neutralization of SCP-XXXX, which would mean the loss of many research opportunities.

SCP-XXXX's effects on the mind classify it as a congitohazard. Several tests have been carried out about its psionic powers, the most notable being the so-called "Site-██ social experiment". Precautions to prevent mental manipulation must be taken by personnel working with SCP-XXXX. This can be exempted for D-class personnel partaking in an experiment regarding SCP-XXXX's cognitohazard properties.

Recovery: SCP-XXXX was retrieved by the SCP Foundation from the Muzeum Historyczne w Sanoku on █████ ██, ████ following a reported homicidal incident having various hallmarks of being related to an anomalous object. A team led by Doctor ███████ identified the SCP and removed it from the premises without incident, and SCP-XXXX was transported by steel box in a truck to [REDACTED].
