Item #: SCP-3938
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3938 is to be contained in an 8m x 8m x 3m concrete box that is 60cm thick, and the interior walls of this box are to be coated in a layer of mattifying black paint. Unless removed for purposes strictly pertaining to experiments, it is to remain in this box. A singular flush-mount ceiling fixture twenty-five 25cm in diameter is to be centered on the interior ceiling of the box, and a singular 1.4W dimmable red LED lightbulb is to be installed into this fixture. This light is to be adjusted to different degrees of illumination depending on the time of day or in the case of certain procedures as listed below, but never turned off.
Between the concrete box containing SCP-3938 and the entrance to the containment cell, there is to be a 5m x 1m x 3m concrete corridor whose interior is coated with an identical coat of the black paint previously described in this document. Both the entrance to the corridor and the box containing SCP-3938 are to be sealed by a steel door of standard dimensions, as well as coated in the same black paint.2 When any authorized individuals are to enter SCP-3938's containment chamber, they must adorn entirely black clothing before entering the corridor, closing the door, and then entering the chamber.
In the event of a containment breach, all lighting fixtures or illuminating objects of any kind are to be turned off in the vicinity occupied by SCP-3938 until it has been safely re-contained. A controlled electromagnetic pulse (EMP) is highly recommended in order to pacify SCP-3938 as soon as possible; but if an EMP is impossible, all personnel are required to immediately turn off any lights they can. It is of a much higher priority than evacuation, as the illumination of most lights in the Foundation would guarantee SCP-3938 the ability to breach further into the facility.
Description: SCP-3938 is a 187cm tall humanoid of a dark brown complexion. The only visual differences between SCP-3938 and an average male adult human of its height are the lack of a nose, a mouth, eyebrows, eyelashes, genitals, areola, nipples, a navel, and any hair whatsoever. It has two perfectly spherical black eyes approximately 15mm in diameter, located where a human's typically are. Unlike a human skull, there seems to be no orbits holding the eyes. They do, however, reflect light similar to the tapetum lucidum present in some animals, leading many to believe it has night-vision capabilities.
SCP-3938 appears to require light in order to function at all. Even though SCP-3938 consumes food as a source of energy, it is shown to only be able to expel this energy once in the presence of light. The strength, speed, and overall dexterity of SCP-3938 is directly affected by how much light is emitted on or around it. Its levels of aggression are also directly tied to its contact with light, acting with extreme violence in any amount of brightness that allows it to run. Speeds as fast as ██ km/h were recorded when SCP-3938 was in direct contact with mid-day sunlight. When in extremely low levels of light, SCP-3938 acts with virtually no aggression. It is worth noting that no sort of noise or change of expression (even in its most aggressive state) has been documented from SCP-3938.
When completely starved of any light at all, SCP-3938's vital signs cease until light is returned in some form. It is unknown if continuous starvation of all light would kill SCP-3938. It is also unknown as to how or why light influences SCP-3938's mobility. Covering its eyes entirely does not affect its movement - aside from blinding it. Even when blinded, however, SCP-3938 is still aware of when it is being observed and can locate where the observer is. This leads some to believe it [DATA EXPUNGED], but it has not been proven. For further reference, see Experiment Log 3938.
Additionally, the method in which SCP-3938 uses to eat without the presence of any orifices or areas where orifices may open3 is unknown, as it will only eat when it is not watched. It is strictly carnivorous and seems to attack only for food and privacy, as the creature will not seek out prey unless it is hungry or being visually monitored. In the presence of enough light, it will attempt to gouge out the eyes of all living creatures viewing it before doing anything else. Even if SCP-3938 is starved for an extended period time and is in the presence of consumable meat, it will actively try to seek out and destroy whatever can see it first. If it is impossible for SCP-3938 to reach what is watching it, it will try to obscure whatever line of sight a creature has on it. If it cannot do this, it attempts to take its food and flee until it is no longer visible.
Recovery Log: SCP-3938 was recovered after the Palestinian government reported a naked, featureless creature attacking locals in Gaza on ██/██/████. Israeli SWAT teams attempted to incapacitate SCP-3938, but were unsuccessful and [DATA EXPUNGED] until Mobile Task Force Pi-1 was able to arrive and capture it after ███ hours. It was then brought back to the facility and has remained in containment since. The following clip was recorded by Raed █████, an Israeli officer killed during the attack. In it, SCP-3938 can be shown chasing law enforcement and gaining speed when the taillights of the car flash.
Incident 3938-A
During a containment breach on 02/██/████, SCP-3938 killed all ██ Foundation staff in the 5 areas it breached - except for one. Foundation personnel D-9070 remained entirely unharmed despite being in the immediate vicinity of a hostile SCP-3938. It is believed that this happened because D-9070 lost both of her eyes after a previous encounter with SCP-[REDACTED]. Experimentation regarding SCP-3938 and blind organisms is requested.
