Title 1

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-XXXX are kept in an enclosed woodland habitat. To sustain instances of SCP-XXXX, the ceiling must be made out of glass to allow SCP-XXXX access to direct sunlight.

Only personnel with Level 2 authorization or higher may be permitted inside SCP-XXXX's enclosure. When inside of SCP-XXXX’s enclosure, personnel must not come in contact with, injure, or remove any instance of SCP-XXXX unless authorized.

As of 8/25/19, the walls of SCP-XXXX's enclosure are to be inspected daily for any damage. If any damage is found, it should be repaired as soon as possible. The number of SCP-XXXX instances must be monitored closely and kept under 100.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous colony of Sciurus carolinensis¹. Instances SCP-XXXX displays a higher level of intelligence than the standard for their species. Currently, there are 99 living instances of SCP-XXXX in containment.

Autopsies performed on SCP-XXXX have shown a complete lack of internal digestive organs, with the cells comprising SCP-XXXX's fur and skin containing chlorophyll and other structures found in algae, plants, and lichen.

While typically docile, if a group of SCP-XXXX is threatened, they will attack the aggressive party, utilizing swarm tactics to attach themselves to the aggressor with teeth and claws. When an SCP-XXXX instance has latched onto a victim, it can be extremely difficult to get it off.

When an instance of SCP-XXXX expires, other instances in its community will perform a burial. Within 3-6 days, a specimen of Pinus Taeda²(Designated SCP-XXXX-1) will grow from the burial mound and mature to a fully grown tree over the next 6 days. The fully matured SCP-XXXX-1 instance will grow 10-15 SCP-XXXX instances in place of seeds. The SCP-XXXX instances will detach from SCP-XXXX-1 and unite with the rest of SCP-XXXX. Once all SCP-XXXX instances have detached themselves from SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-1 will dematerialize.

SCP-XXXX instances communicate through gestures and crude noises. In an attempt to understand SCP-XXXX better, a list of known gestures/noises and their meanings have been listed below.

ADDENDUM XXXX-1:

+ LEVEL TWO AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED

On 8/16/19, Junior Researcher █████ Smeltzer purposely provoked several instances of SCP-XXXX. Junior Researcher Smeltzer suffered several wounds, most notably around the face, throat, wrists, and head. On-site security fought off SCP-XXXX long enough to recover Junior Researcher Smeltzer. Junior Researcher Smeltzer received immediate treatment and is believed to make a full recovery. It is suspected that this was a suicide attempt, however, further investigation into the motives behind this incident is required.

Immediately following this event, SCP-XXXX went into a fit of rage. SCP-XXXX swarmed the walls in an attempt to continue attacking Junior Researcher Smeltzer. By the end of the attack, the wall had taken minimal damage and was repaired with the hour. The repairman was not attacked, however, he reported several instances of SCP-XXXX "flipping him off".

ADDENDUM XXXX-2

+ LEVEL TWO AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED

During the time between Addendum XXXX-1 and 8/25/19, thirteen new instances of SCP-XXXX-1 were found. By the end of the reproductive process, there were approximately 300 SCP-XXXX instances.

All 300 instances of SCP-XXXX gathered around the segment of the wall they had previously attacked. In unison, SCP-XXXX swarmed the wall. SCP-XXXX attached to any surface they could, and tried to bite chunks out of the wall. Several instances suffocated on concrete. By the end of the attack, the wall was greatly damaged had to be repaired immediately.
