Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Unknown Keter (As of 2/22/20██)

As of 2/22/20XX this article has been updated with the addition of Addendum-1A as well as suitable Special Containment Procedures.

Special Containment Procedures:

Currently, six [6] instances of SCP-XXXX have been isolated at Site-██. However, this is definitely not the entire population.

SCP-XXXX instances are to be kept secured at Site-██ within an observable containment unit that is to be strictly monitored by several Class-D personnel, all of who must have been administered Class-A mnestics. Strictly no access should be allowed to the containment unit.

Instances of SCP-XXXX are to be fed a diet of barnyard animals such as pigs, chickens and cows that have died of a heart attack prompted by loud noises.

All staff introduced to the site are to be administered Class-A mnestics and are to kept on for six months before being administered Class-A amnestics and transferred to any other available site.

If the number of instances of SCP-XXXX increases above six [6], then the site should be evacuated and MTF-Sigma-22 “Diamond Dogs” should be sent in to secure the site.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an intangible organism that leaves either two and four pawprints wherever it walks. These pawprints are about 15cm x 19cm with ranges in dimension of +/- 3 centimetres. The pawprints are universally 2 inches deep and therefore its size has been estimated as between 5ft and 6ft.

Due to the variance in form, the Foundation cannot discern whether the entity is primarily bipedal or quadrupedal but it can definitely go from one state to the other. The pawprints contain five individual fingers with one of them adapted as a thumb. Pawprints are only visible to the ‘target prey’.

SCP-XXXX seems to be able to navigate on any surface with pawprints being found walking on walls as well as ceilings where typically on organism of such size would not be able to attach to the surface due to poor tension.

Pawprints left behind by SCP-XXXX are filled with a liquid substance which has been identified as human saliva. Onlookers will only see instances of SCP-XXXX as small patches of the liquid substance.

SCP-XXXX instances generally manifest in multiples and behave with a pack mentality, driving their selected target into a corner through horror tactics, converging from multiple directions such as the floor, walls and ceiling. They prefer to push their target into a building or other enclosed location so as to arrive from multiple directions. After they have enclosed their target, they become visible to the prey before ravenously devouring them. This is done through their paws as tissue is removed from the prey in shapes perfectly resembling the pawprints left behind by SCP-XXXX.

Addendum-1A: Addendum-1A is a letter from Dr. Adam Taylor after Incident 28AB7.

Dear Site Director,

As you are aware, this is the first time that we have managed to contain any instances of SCP-XXXX rather than just capture them like in Incident 28AB7 and through the brilliance of MTF-Sigma-22, who I have only the deepest gratitude for, we now have contained instances.

After a series of tests run by this Site, I have identified many important features of SCP-XXXX. Firstly, SCP-XXXX should be divided into SCP-XXXX-1 representing the bipedal instances and SCP-XXXX-2 representing the quadrupedal instances.

SCP-XXXX-1’s are malicious humanoids that stand at approximately 6ft and have had the skin pulled taught from all over their body. They are attached to instances of SCP-XXXX-2 by what can only be described as an umbilical cord. This keeps the instances under their direct control. The means through which they appear invisible has been surmised to be a antimemetic field that rids them from the collective consciousness of the human race and they only choose to deactivate this when they are preparing to eat their target.

SCP-XXXX-2 are canines of around 5 feet in length that resemble something like a hyena, wolf and lion stitched together. Their mouths are located on their paws and they constantly salivate through this tissue. Their naval has a fully functioning umbilical cord attached to it that originates from the wrist of an SCP-XXXX-1.Furthermore, both instances seem to feed on the emotion of fear, devouring some of the flesh from humans that they have ‘basted’ to a suitable degree.

Most horrifyingly is what you will find in Incident 28AB7, I feel it is unsuitable to discuss here.
Finally, I request that all future staff sent to me are actually given Class-A mnestics this time around. We really don’t want to be having a repeat Incident 28AB7. And yes, that includes Class-D as well.
