Item #: SCP-XXXX Assaulters
Object Class: Euclid - Expired
Special Containment Procedures: Each case of SCP-XXX is to be contained separately in 24.5 x 36-meter concrete containment cell. Recording devices may be installed in the cells but recommended one wall have installed reinforced bulletproof windows (minimum of 3 layers) separating an adjacent room for observation and testing purposes for researchers. To aid in testing and containment each cell must have specialty lights installed that can mimic the Ultraviolet effects of natural sunlight and are always to be kept on to try and keep the threat level down as SCP-XXX is nocturnal and becomes more aggressive when not subject to a minimum of 145 Watts per square meter of irradiance. Lights may be dimmed below this wattage for feeding and testing purposes only. Animals of the opposite gender (or D-Class with authorization) will only be fed to SCP-XXX for testing purposes since it has been confirmed that SCP-XXX cannot starve. It has been noted that SCP-XXXX becomes more hostile the longer it goes without feeding.
(Addendum) SCP-XXXX is a complex entity as it is one of the few SCPs that has confirmed males and females. The male Assaulter will be discussed first as it was the first discovered and researched. Upon the discovery of SCP-XXXX’s female counterpart a debate ensued among researchers. Though the base forms of the entities were similar they had some drastic differences in appearance and behavior to the point giving the female its own SCP number seemed only logical. However, for the sake of a more concise record, it was agreed that both male and female specimens should be classified under the SCP-XXXX record. The three males shall be referred to SCP-XXXX-M1, SCP-XXXX-M2, SCP-XXXX-M3, or just SCP-XXXX-M when referring to all male specimens. The single female shall be referred to as SCP-XXXX-F.
SCP-XXXX-M Description: Male Assaulters average from 2.3 to 2.6 meters in length and is a quadruped with mostly reptilian but some insect characteristics. The simplest description one can give is that SCP-XXXX-M resembles a large gecko with no eyes, ears, or mouth. It does however have two antennae averaging about 0.7 meters in length and two slim nostrils at its snout for nostrils giving it an acute sense of smell.
Its back is covered in a multitude of long hornlike bristles around 0.45 meters in width and 0.56 meters in length which upon first discovery were thought to be nothing more than a defense mechanism but are primarily part of SCP-XXX-M’s mating ritual.
SCP-XXXX-M has a tail roughly one and a half times its own body length. This tail resembles the tail of a spider monkey in flexibility and is a powerful and vital appendage for SCP-XXXX-M as the tip has a large retractable stinger that releases a powerful poison. This poison has shown through multiple tests to cause paralysis and unwanted arousal in female subjects for up to 6 hours before subsiding. The effects for males are similar, but, rather than subsiding; after about 3 hours the subject will develop a terrible fever and will fall into a coma before eventually expiring sometime after 24 hours.
Bulbous clawed toes covered in setae allow it to climb on any surface with great ease. Assaulters can even climb on Teflon which geckos with almost identical setae cannot. It is believed they accomplish this due to the slime that covers SCP-XXXX-M’s entire body. The slime is constantly secreted from SCP-XXXX-M’s body and has been reported to have a different scent between genders. When presenting the slime to women it emits a very subtle and inviting scents. Frequently listed scents included honey, citrus, rainfall, and the smell of old books. When presented to a male test subject they often remark smelling something grotesque from nearly four times the distance. One tester after getting his nose almost directly into the container housing the sample vomited and claimed it smelled like a mixture of salt, rotten eggs, and painter thinner. Aside from possibly aiding in SCP-XXXX-M’s ability to climb the slime also is an integral part of its hunting and camouflage.
SCP-XXXX-M has no trouble blending into its background and can appear to disappear in the blink of an eye. Its camouflage may surpass the octopus or cuttlefish. As it this seems to happen almost purely by instinct or subconsciously and despite being blind can be executed flawlessly.
The underside of SCP-XXXX-M has many slits resembling the female vagina going from the base of its tail up to the base of its neck in varying patterns and quantities. When feeding SCP-XXXX-M will get above a paralyzed victim and from each slit will emerge tentacles. Each tentacle is covered in SCP-XXXX-M’s slime and small barbs. SCP-XXXX-M will then assault its victims, attempting to penetrate all orifices the paralyzed creature may have, convulsing, and making deep whistles through its nostrils in the process. AN attack can last hours with SCP-XXX-M administering multiple stings to victims.
It is not entirely known at this time how SCP-XXXX-M is able to feed in this way or if it can be truly be called feeding as gathering may be a better suited term. A common trait is found in all female victims that are attacked by SCP-XXX-M: Before the attack they were fertile, after the attack they no longer are. It does not matter if the victim is male or female. Though SCP-XXXX-M shows a general preference for female victims of every species it has been known to attack males and though their fertility remains unchanged prior to their expiration. After various tests it was confirmed that through this act of assaulting its female victims it steals their fertility and entire genealogy; storing it in its own body. For this reason it should be seen as no surprise that research into SCP-XXXX-M’s DNA and Genes are both astounding and mindboggling. Despite the SCPs grotesque and horrendous nature its genetics could lead to breakthroughs in longevity of the human race. In order for research to yield results SCP-XXXX-M will need to be fed on a regular basis.
SCP-XXXX-F Description: The Female Assaulter as previously mentioned shares similarities with SCP-XXXX-M which will be listed first. The Female Assaulter's base resembles the male in its lizard like form. It also has an acute sense of smell, bulbous clawed toes with satae, a monkey-esque tail, and slime constantly excreting from its body which measures in at 2.9 meters in length not including its tail. Here the similarities end. SCP-XXX-F has a mouth and fangs similar to a common snake which it uses to administer its poison. It also possesses a long forked tongue that can extend itself to the points width becomes equivalent to a needle; its maximum length has never been confirmed. It also has two large black eyes and four smaller eyes moving towards the back of its head that are extremely powerful giving it nearly a 360 degree field of vision along with the ability to see at night and great distances.
SCP-XXXX-F has six legs rather than four, no antenae, and does not possess SCP-XXXX-M's camouflage attribute. The slime SCP-XXXX-F secretes it the opposite of its male counterpart. Males exposed to the slime experience a very pleasant scent that can be described as a mixture of roasted coffee, butterscotch, and peppermint while females will (also from a much greater distance) smell a mixture of urine, mold, and chopped onions to the extent that when first struck with the odor their eyes will water and it can take several minutes for the effects to subside. The effects of its poison on its victims are also reversed as SCP-XXXX-F prefers to hunt males victims. Its hunting methods differ drastically from SCP-XXXX-M. While SCP-XXXX-M could more so be considered a wanderer constantly on the move and seems to display no hunting patterns except for the fact it never goes within 1 mile of a previous area that it has fed. SCP-XXXX-F prefers to stay in a single spot possibly due to its lack of camouflage.
Rather than a retractable stinger the female Assaulters tail secretes a strong sticky webbing which it uses to capture and detect prey. The threads are no thicker than a common piano wire but possess five times the tensile strength. SCP-XXXX-F lays strands and sophisticated traps around a 3000 Yard radius from it's desired lair which is usually underground. The threads excreted also get covered in SCP-XXXX-F's slime giving it the aformentioned odor to help lure prey. Female Assaulters have been known to actively hunt prey in warmer weather while in colder periods simply wait for unsuspecting prey to wander into one of its many traps.
Females will only feed on males. While SCP-XXXX-M will feed on any gender on the spot till it is satiated then leave, SCP-XXXX-F instead after administering its poison uses its middle pairing of legs to carry its prey back to its lair where it feeds on them till they expire, and even if it has a victim it eagerly gathers more. On SCP-XXXX-F's initial capture, a search party found its current lair. 78 corpses were found entangled in its webbing with twelve living male victims there for active feeding. Including everything from men, deer, bears, to remains of other possible SCPs. One of its abandoned lairs from another region contained the corpse of an expired sasquatch in rural area of (redacted) Russia.
SCP-XXXX-F is extremely hostile to all females. It never feeds on them, instead violently attacking them, administering its poison then using its claws to disembowel them, removing the womb, and (Redacted). This occurs whether they catch the female or simply spot it. In one recorded case SCP-XXXX-F had two beings within its wide range of site. One was a lone human male less than 75 yards away walking through its domain and could be considered easy prey. However, rather than go for the easy target SCP-XXXX-F instead let the human go and traveled an extra 200 yards to killa female bear.
SCP-XXXX-F appears to be less violent in its feeding methods it is still no less horrific and painful but as mentioned is more possessive of its prey once caught. The female Assaulter uses her forked tongue to feed by inserting it into the urethra of its preys erect penis. The tips of her tongue work as fangs once they have worked their way through the urine tract and will pierce its preys testis. It will perform this feeding process multiple times till its prey has either expired or becomes infertile at which point SCP-XXXX-F leaves its prey to die of dehydration.
Discovery and Research Logs: The remainder of the article will now include the logs of head researcher Dr. Alan Flansburrough following the start of his tracking and capturing of all known cases of SCP-XXXX, their containment, testing, mating, and eventual expiration. (Addendum) After Dr. Flansburrough's death his home was searched and a private journal was found. After reviewing the journal a number of entries have been included with the official research documents.
Journal Entry #1 ( Date Expunged): Something interesting happened today. A man came to see me. I couldn't help but notice the man from the start of my class. I make an effort to try and remember all my students. Sometimes it can be difficult with names and faces meshing together but from the moment he walked in I knew the man wasn't actually part of the course my course. He was well dressed, all business, never spoke a word the whole hour and a half. He just listened contently. A bit odd but since he was disruptive in anyway I thought nothing of it and continued as usual. As long as he didn't prevent me from teaching I thought it was fine. Once the class ended though he approached me and introduced himself as (expunged). I told him I had never seen him in this class before. He admitted because he wasn't one of my students. But as mentioned his attire alone made this pretty obvious. He said he'd come a long way to see me and after reviewing many candidates he and his superiors thought I would be a good to fit for a scientific undertaking.
I felt the man was being purposely vague as to try and draw me in. Something about (expunged) reminded me a bit of a sleezy car salesmen and I told him that I was quite content with my current work as a teacher. (Expunged) then much to my surprise started to run down of my work history, schooling and accomplishments and praised me for being able to accomplish so much on my own as an orphan. I was convinced at this point he was from the government. It wasn't the first time I had been approached for a goverment project and I had worked some in the past but hadn't done so in years. Despite some good pay the work was never fulfilling and needlessly secretive in most cases. But I guess I can't blame them for wanting to keep the attempted development of genetic super soilders secret. Even if it did fail miserably.
But when I asked (expunged) if he was here from the US goverment he smirked and in a sort of condesending tone answered in the negative. Saying the work he is involved with goes beyond government oversight. This really caught my interest, and I asked him what exactly he wanted from me.
(Expunged) then told me that his team needed someone of my expertise to help track, identify, and contain a suspected new species. A discovery that if handled properly could save lives. Again I felt he was being needlessly vague. I stated this and asked him to be more direct with me. What kind of species? What family? Where is it located? You know, more than… nothing. However, (expunged) refused to answer and simply stated that the project was of the upmost secrecy and that the details of the project could not be discussed with me even on the most rudimentary level until I had accepted their offer.
This didn't sit well with me and I declined. I grabbed my bags and moved to head out the door when (expunged) called out to me.
"Dr Flansburrough, no, Alan, I think you should at least view our offer before declining. I have already sent you an email with some of the details of what benefits you would gain from accepting."
Sure enough when I got home I checked and there was an email. From a company I think. I can't be sure. All the letter head indicated was SCP Foundation. Despite about 45 minutes or more of browsing the web I found zero information on this foundation. Which didn't sit well with me but the offer… It was insane. The semester was almost over and they said I could either play it out and join after or if I felt so inclined I could leave immediately and they would pay out what remained of my salary with the school for doing so since they stated time was of the essence as human lives could be at stake. This document made the situation seem much more dire than (expunged) had played it up to be. I would be required to move out of my apartment but I would receive my own home on one of the foundations private communities adjacent to research site I would primarily work in. Pay wasn't even mentioned till the end of the letter. There were so many digits in the estimated annual salary I thought whoever wrote the letter must have fallen asleep on the "0" key.
Then it stated that I had one week to accept the offer. After that time the offer letter would be removed from my inbox and the phone number provided to contact if I wished to accept the offer would be disconnected. It was easily the sketchiest email I had ever seen. Felt like a scam, maybe if I accepted I would disappear all together and they would harvest my organs. All of this was too good to be true and I was even more convinced than before the offer was bogus.
Just as I was about to respond to the email with my intent to decline the offer. Another email came in from the same address. All it had was an attachment, to a single image. The image was titled SCP-XXXX DNA Strand. This beyond everything else actually caught my interest. What about this creature required it to be so hush hush? Why the secrecy? Then I actually saw the strand. It was so complex I thought it had to be fake. But if it wasn't, then everything (expunged) had said before of what a discovery this was, would be true. What ever this creature was its DNA seemed to defy law.
I don't know if it is the right decision. Something about this is off, but, if what I am seeing is real… I need to sleep on this.
