Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be kept within 8m x 5m x 8m all walls are to be made of steel, or any similar solid material, of exactly thirty meters thickness or greater, at all times. The single entrance to the containment cell is to be reinforced with twenty consecutive doors, and it is mandatory for researchers to enter the cell in an Airlock like fashion, closing the door behind them before proceeding to open the next door. Separating the entrance and the cell there is to be a 18 meter thick sliding door made of strong plexiglass.

24 hour video surveillance is required in order to insure that SCP-XXXX does not attempt to breach containment. In addition two facility guards are required to guard the entrance to SCP-XXXX’s containment chambers, and should be armed with tranquilizer guns at all times, as tranquilizers darts have proven the most effective against SCP-XXXX . The presence of guards is unnecessary while SCP-XXXX is his docile state of sleep. SCP-XXXX is in commonly in this state of unconscious from 12:00pm to 6:00am, and during this time the guards are not needed, though guards should always be on standby in case of a breach attempt.

Once a week 30 liters of water are to be poured into SCP-XXXX’s containment chamber, in order to sustain vital signs in SCP-XXXX. Any and all interviews should be held from behind the plexiglass sliding door, with use of a speaker system.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a tall pale white humanoid entity measuring about 2.25 meters in height. SCP-XXXX has a thin frame and appendages, but shows no signs of malnutrition and is slightly muscular. The body has no hair, nails, or genitals, but otherwise retains a mostly human form. SCP-XXXX’s face is completely blank with no facial features.

SCP-XXXX survives on liquids alone and needs 30 liters a week or else it will begin to go into a state of severe distress and attempt to destroy anything that stops it from ingesting fluids. X-rays and other medical tests have been taken on SCP-XXXX and have revealed his organs to be nearly identical to a human, and explanations as to how SCP-XXXX survives only on liquids, and how it can survive off of any type of liquid, have not presently been identified.

In order to consume liquids SCP-XXXX will put its hand to the region it’s face where a mouth would be for humans, and a previously absent zipper will appear. SCP-XXXX will proceed to pull the zipper across his face, revealing a large mouth of teeth. Accounts vary but SCP-XXXX has been observed to have different sets of teeth when he unzips his mouth, though some repeat more frequently then others. SCP-XXXX will then use an abnormally large tongue to lick up the water from the ground. After wards the tongue will recede back into SCP-XXXX's mouth, and SCP-XXXX will then rezip his mouth. After it is completely unzipped the zipper will disappear leaving no physical traces of its existence.

A similar behavior is portrayed when SCP-XXXX unzips the forehead area. After being unzipped a large eye appears though once again each time SCP-XXXX unzips this area a different eye is likely to be seen. SCP-XXXX displays incredible hearing, though having no ears. It can make an entirely vocal picture of a room using echo location. Though extremely powerful, when trying to locate prey, SCP-XXXX will unzip its eye to use for more precise vision.

As described earlier SCP-XXXX has the ability to create zippers on any solid surface that is no more than 15 meters thick. During previous attempts to contain SCP-XXXX it was discovered that can create a whole that essentially warps space time, allowing it to take a step through his zipper and come out on the other side of a 15 meter long object. In addition in certain instances SCP-XXXX displayed the additional ability to open up an object using it zipper, and reach inside of the object.

SCP-XXXX is intelligent and can communicate in Russian and English. Interviews with SCP-XXXX have shown him to be sadistic, and extremely bloodthirsty. Despite this SCP-XXXX adheres to a personal code. SCP-XXXX believes zippers to be a metaphor as they are both the beginning and end, being opened and closed. Because of this SCP-XXXX expresses the desire to bring about a “happy” and “fulfilling end” to human’s stories (lives), and believes himself to be doing exactly that. This claim is complete and utter bullshit not backed up by a poll conducted by Scientist Personnel, which found that exactly 0 out of the polled 100 D-class test subjects were likely to volunteer if given the opportunity to be terminated by SCP-XXXX.

When SCP-XXXX decides on its victim, it will follow a pattern off steps before eventually terminating the victim. When SCP-XXXX begins to chase its victim it will give its victims a chance to hide, before unzipping it’s eye to locate the victim with more efficiency. If the victim is found, SCP-XXXX will lift the victim up by its throat and zip its mouth shut, preventing communication. Then SCP-XXXX will unzip it’s own mouth and tell the victim “You will be missed, but you tired your best.” then it will put its index finer on its mouth in a common hand signal for quiet or silence before continuing “Shhhh. You must be tired. Let me end your story for you.” finally SCP-XXXX will unzip the victims chest, and crush their heart in his hand, terminating the subject.

When SCP-XXXX feels threatened or enraged it will enter a form of extreme danger. Though SCP-XXXX prefers bipedal movement, when in danger it will switch to quadrupedal movement. This will allow SCP-XXXX to move at speeds of up to 30 km/h. SCP-XXXX will then proceed to sprint to each threat and unzip a zipper around the threat’s neck, killing it instantly. In the case of a containment breach, attempting to engage SCP-XXXX using traditional weapons will almost certainly result in failure. Because SCP-XXXX is adept at moving extremely quickly, it’s organs have grown extremely strong cushioning. This means that a normally lethal shot won’t immediately terminate SCP-XXXX, it will cause SCP-XXXX to start bleeding out, but it will not bleed out before terminating you.

Dr. John Ryche and Dr. Michael Mao have devised and tested a strategy of recontainment to be carried out in the event of a containment breach. The first objective upon locating SCP-XXXX is to take advantage of its extreme auditory sensitivity (recommended method of auditory disorientation is Site Intercom). Once SCP-XXXX has been momentarily dazed, MTF are to tranquilize SCP-XXXX and terminate or recontain it.
