XXXX
Item #: SCP-XXXX |
|
Object Class: Euclid |
Level 4 Clearance |
Threat Level: Yellow ● |
Special Containment Procedures: Due to instances of SCP-XXXX-B having a naturally violent and hostile nature, a 5,5m galvanized steel 10mA electric security fence has been constructed surrounding SCP-XXXX, along with eight (8) watch-towers, each equipped with an 8.4kW halogen search-light and a heavy caliber M2 Browning machine gun. No personnel at any time are to be allowed to directly interact with, or enter SCP-XXXX due to reasons regarding their own safety. Any and all instances of SCP-XXXX-B are to be terminated on-site. As of ██/██/2010, all SCP-XXXX-A instances within a 40m proximity of the security fence have been removed indefinitely. Should more than three (3) instances of SCP-XXXX-B successfully breach containment, the emergency anti-breach siren is to be activated and all on-site personnel are to be temporarily evacuated to nearby Site-██.
A Satellite Image of SCP-XXXX
Description: SCP-XXXX is a boreal forest first discovered on ██/██/████ in ████████, Romania, spanning over an area approximately the size of 3km². The tree density of SCP-XXXX is abnormally high, being 3.1 times higher than that of the average boreal forest tree density.
SCP-XXXX-A instances are any and all trees located within SCP-XXXX that exhibit the following properties: extreme thickness, dryness, solidity, and notable nullification of harsh and direct physical attacks, such as sword hits. This effect does not, however, apply to both chainsaws, and bullets. They are, however, extremely vulnerable to chemical and parasitic attacks. It is unknown what causes this effect, as well as how or why SCP-XXXX-A instances are formed this in this particular way. Lab results have shown no unusual defects in separated samples of tree bark, roots or leaves that belong to or are directly related to SCP-XXXX-A instances. However, samples that are still connected to SCP-XXXX-A instances show that [DATA REDACTED], as well as [DATA REDACTED].
SCP-XXXX-B instances are humanoid entities that are approximately three (3) meters in terms of height. Their physical appearance represents something similar to a gorilla-human hybrid. Their legs and arms are extremely elongated, thus out of proportion with the rest of their bodies. SCP-XXXX-B instances lack many facial features that are commonly present on humans, such as eyelids or eyebrows, as well as noses. SCP-XXXX-B instances appear to be unnaturally afraid of any and all light sources, noise levels measuring above or equal to 70dB, and [DATA REDACTED], hiding in small caves within SCP-XXXX. It is still unknown what is located at the center of SCP-XXXX, how SCP-XXXX-B instances are created and/or reproduce, as well as how the entirety of SCP-XXXX came to be.

SUBJECT: D-XXXX
OBJECTIVE: Recover any samples of SCP-XXXX-A, document any unnatural events.
EQUIPMENT: Oil lantern, three (3) 250ml water bottles, rollerball pen, three (3) sheets of A4 size paper
ENTRY 1, 0:30 AM: “I stopped at a nearby creak to rest and drink some water. Being in a so-called haunted forest at night with only an oil lantern for a source of light really managed to scare the shit out of me. I thought I kept seeing things that weren’t there.”
ENTRY 2, 1:00 AM: “I stopped at a little clearing in the forest to change the oil. I swear; there must be someone or something out there following me. I’m certain there was a shadow that wasn’t from a tree. Maybe an animal?”
ENTRY 3, 1:30 AM: “Now I’m definitely freaked out. I saw something staring at me from not so far away. I only managed to see its silhouette, but as soon as I looked at it, it was like it vanished. Are you guys sure this place is safe? I mean, I know you guys said that there’s ‘paranormal activity’ that occurs in these woods, but weren’t those just made-up urban legends or something?”
ENTRY 4, 2:00 AM: “I’m on the road; I can see the helicopter from here. That thing from before kept following me. The more I walked, the closer it got to me. I think there was more than one. Thankfully, I haven’t seen any of them for a while, so I figure I’ll just get to the extraction point without any more delays.”
RESULTS: Subject D-XXXX remained in an alarmed state for 5 days, but soon returned to a calm, normal state. The Foundation has since been made aware of the existence of SCP-XXXX-B instances.
RECOVERED ITEM(S): Two (2) tree branches presumably belonging to one of the SCP-XXXX-A instances.

SUBJECT: D-XXXX
OBJECTIVE: Document and describe further instances of SCP-XXXX-B.
EQUIPMENT: Infrared camera, three (3) 250ml water bottles, rollerball pen, three (3) sheets of A4 size paper
ENTRY 1, 0:30 AM: “This camera really doesn’t help me navigate; I even fell a few times because of it. Almost everything I see is blue and black, except for the occasional red spot of an animal or bird; no spooky monsters anywhere.”
ENTRY 2, 1:00 AM: “I don’t know what the hell you guys put out here with me, but it’s not funny. I took a break to rest and drink some water when I heard a rustling of some-sort coming from behind me. I took my camera to see what it was but… I can be sure that was no ordinary animal. It was big, really tall, and hunched over like a gorilla. I couldn’t make out its details since it was glowing bright red and it was about 50 meters away. I slowly walked away from it, never losing it out of my eye-sight, even though it was completely motionless. I found a small pit to hide in. I guess it’s better to take notes in here rather than out in the open. I’ll quicken up my pace; the quicker I get out of here, the better.”
ENTRY 3, 4:30 AM: “I’m sorry for not writing more frequently, I just never had the chance. Not so long after the last entry, I heard it walking towards me. I hid in a small cave and waited for it to pass me. I took so long because of that - it wouldn’t leave me alone. I probably won’t write anything else until I get to the extraction point. The last thing I want is to be surprised by that thing or things while my guard is down.”
RESULTS: Subject D-XXXX was visibly stressed, and was routinely taken to a psychologist for three (3) months.
RECOVERED ITEM(S): N/A

EQUIPMENT: Night vision camera, three (3) 250ml water bottles, rollerball pen, three (3) sheets of A4 size lined paper
Entry 1, 0:05 AM: “If you somehow manage find this, please tell my family I love them; these may be my last words on this planet. After I couldn’t see the helicopter anymore, I turned on my camera to check my surroundings. I can see them twenty meters in front of me. They don’t move as I write this. They don’t even blink; they have no eyelashes or eyebrows. They’re taller than any human or animal that I have ever encountered. I can’t even call those things hands. They have fish-like eyes. No pupils. Oh God… they’re tearing down trees as they move.”
Results: Subject D-XXXX’s body has yet to be recovered.
Recovered Item(s): [DATA REDACTED]
