Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP- is to be kept under 24/7 surveillance by researchers of level 3 clearance or more in a square 6x6 meter room with an 8 meter tall ceiling. The room must be kept in constant darkness and all security cameras are to be fitted with night vision and UV light technology designed by Dr. ██████. D-Class personnel are to enter containment only in instances of approved experimentation, with night vision goggles and cameras. SCP- must be fed once a day with the corpse of a goat which is to be skinned and thrown into the containment room. In case of light leaking into the room, service staff members are to be sent to immediately fix the light breach as light can harm SCP- . In case of a containment breach, all MTFs sent to secure SCP- are to have a flashlight with a minimum of 2,300 lumens 4,100 lumens. In the case of cameras inside failing and noises being heard the facility is to initiate lockdown procedure AR-500.

Description: SCP- is a 2.34 meter tall quadruped creature with a white keratin mask and thin meter long legs. It has a large hump on its back and various spinal cord abnormalities. SCP- ‘s body is covered in brown cloth and padding. Underneath the cloth and padding is a white and red humanoid creature with luminescent eyes and very long legs. No oral cavity can be seen, nor any other way to explain how it consumes large mammalian creatures including some species of ███████

Research was conducted on the concrete-like mask, cloth and padding that covered SCP- . All parts of it were found to be made up entirely of organic material. The mask is a form of keratin which is completely hollow while the cloth and padding are made up of unknown materials. The mask seems to have the exact facial features of a Canadian male by the name of ████ ████████. Said male died of unknown reasons near [REDACTED] Forest where SCP- was found. A full scan of SCP- was conducted and there seems to be no life detected in the creature’s body even though it is breathing, eating and walking.

Extensive research is being conducted on the basis of the mask changing [see incident ████]. The mask changes to the face of the last mammal/human it has eaten. SCP- rarely comes out of the mask but always does while the mask is changing. When it changes no movement can be seen nor detected by the motion cameras inside the room, but the mask is visibly different after the change. Further studies are being conducted on how this is done by Dr. ████████.
