Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a 7 m x 7 m x 3 m plaster room with a 3 ft x 4 ft mirror and a wooden table of any size or quality. SCP-XXXX is not to be approached by more than one subject at any given time. In the event of a containment breach, one (1) . SCP-XXXX is not to be allowed out of its containment area without a unanimous vote from the O5 Council. Any publications containing photographic evidence of SCP-XXXX's existence are to be destroyed, electronically or physically. No surveillance equipment of any kind is to be present in the containment room of SCP-XXXX. Tests involving SCP-XXXX may only be conducted by personnel with Level 3 clearance or higher.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an avian-type creature with an unnaturally curved beak and a wingspan that appears to visually ripple with color when directly viewed by one person. However, when viewed directly by two or more people, or when viewed indirectly, SCP-XXXX will grow wing-mounted talons and proceed to eviscerate the viewer(s) by spontaneously appearing behind them in order of priority with a screech that has been recorded to be above 150 decibels in volume, then attacking by raking the victim with its talons (Phenomenon 1412-A). SCP-XXXX has the ability to enter mirrors and interact with objects in the reflected image. If this occurs, changes in the mirrored environment will occur in the "real" world as if the SCP was present and directly influenced it. Attempts to communicate have been met with failure as SCP-XXXX appears to be physically incapable of anything other than a slight chirp unless Phenomenon 1412-A is triggered. SCP-XXXX has been observed on occasion to revert to a hibernatory state for up to 3 months. During this period of time no incidents of Phenomenon 1412-A have been observed, and it is safe for 2 or more personnel to safely view SCP-XXXX.
