SCP-XXXX: DEUS REX MACHINA
VERSION 1
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation AICs are to monitor global surveillance networks, social media, law enforcement networks, and other online spaces for evidence of SCP-XXXX manifestations. Individuals witnessing these events are to be amnesticised, with evidence of the event to be destroyed after documentation. Any persons spreading information regarding SCP-XXXX are to be discredited.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a singular theropodal dinosaur of the species Tyrannosaurus rex measuring 12.7 metres long, 4 metres tall and weighing an estimated 9 tons.
SCP-XXXX irregularly manifests in unobserved locations globally in response to lone individuals coming into contact with between one and four attackers with no witnesses present. SCP-XXXX will then rapidly approach the assailants and violently attack them, frequently consuming assailants or trampling them underfoot before making a "Winking" gesture toward the former target of the assailant(s) and fleeing the area, de-manifesting when out of sight. While the presence of recording equipment such as security cameras does not deter the appearance of SCP-XXXX, it has never been observed to de-manifest in sight of any recording equipment.
Repeated observation of SCP-XXXX has determined that it is the same specimen, featuring consistent markings, coloration and scarring between manifestations. 83% of observed manifestations have involved SCP-XXXX appearing in response to humans under attack from other humans, 9% of manifestations have been triggered by animals under threat from humans, and 3% being animals under threat from other animals.
Interviews with persons to witness the anomaly have reported confusion with the events, along with the belief that they were saved by SCP-XXXX.
Addendum: SCP-XXXX's manifestation conditions were confirmed to apply to anomalous individuals at Containment Area 25b, when it violently terminated SCP-076-2, while it was in the process of breaching containment. SCP-076-2 was observed to react dismissively towards SCP-XXXX, stating that an "Overgrown lizard" Would not be able to harm it. SCP-XXXX proceeded to rush SCP-076-2 before lunging and crushing it within its jaws before slamming its remains on the ground, with SCP-076-2 managing to slash at its face before being killed. SCP-XXXX then winked at Agent Daniel ████████ before de-manifesting around a corner from Agent ████████'s eye line, in an area obscured from surveillance cameras vision.
Following this event, SCP-XXXX was observed to have deep scarring over its left eye as a result of its injury. When questioned about the attack, SCP-076-2 answered with numerous expletives.
Addendum 2: In an attempt to contain SCP-XXXX, multiple Foundation vehicles were dispatched to maintain constant visual contact with the entity as it fled the scene of a manifestation event. As visual contact was maintained, field containment was established as the entity was immobilized. Containment teams were in the process of preparing SCP-XXXX for transit to Site-40 when they were engaged by a second instance of SCP-XXXX attacking by surprise from within a nearby cave. Contact was lost as the secondary instance inflicted heavy losses upon the containment teams, with survivor Cpl. Alan Malcolm noting that the instances winked at each other before fleeing the scene, de-manifesting once out of visual range.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an unidentified1 non-humanoid entity which irregularly manifests in unobserved locations globally in response to lone individuals coming into contact with between one and four attackers with no witnesses present. SCP-XXXX rapidly approaches and violently attacks the assailants, typically resulting in massive blunt force trauma, traumatic amputations of limbs or entire torsos of the assailants. eyewitness reports have described the entity making a "Winking" gesture towards them before fleeing the area, de-manifesting when out of sight. While the presence of recording equipment such as security cameras does not deter the appearance of SCP-XXXX, it has never been observed to de-manifest in sight of any recording equipment.

Addendum 1:
Recovered footage, SCP-XXXX manifestation 65-my
DATE: 2/9/1993
NOTE: Prior to event XXXX-FS-40, the following footage was the clearest know record of an SCP-XXXX manifestation, captured via CCTV camera in Melbourne, Australia. Due to the age and nature of the film equipment, visibility is poor and sound is not present.
[BEGIN LOG]
02:37:48: Frame is static, showing a T shaped intersection of alleyways behind a liquor store. A civilian identified as Johnathan Heaffy can be seen walking away from the camera towards the end of the alleyway. Three figures step into frame from concealed locations within alcoves, appearing armed, displaying threatening behaviour towards Mr. Heaffy, who raises his hands. A fourth figure approaches him from behind.
02:38:07: As the middle figure approaches Mr. Heaffy, armed with a pistol, a large, indistinct dark mass is seen rapidly moving across the alleyway behind the armed assailant, sending one assailant sprawling on the ground, missing their lower left leg, taking the second assailant with it out of frame. The armed assailant turns away from Mr Heaffy, who has pressed himself against the wall, clutching his wallet. The fourth assailant has drawn a large blade but has not moved.
02:38:12: The entity rounds the corner at speed towards the nearest assailant, who opens fire at the entity twice before being visibly trampled beneath an appendage produced by the entity. It bypasses Mr. Heaffy entirely, instead enveloping the final assailant within its mass as it exits the lower frame of the video.
02:38:18: The upper body of the fourth assailant re-enters the frame at speed, slamming into the wall at the end of the alley, followed by their lower body coming to a rest in the middle of the alley, at the feet of Mr. Heaffy. Mr. Heaffy cowers in place for the following seven minutes until law enforcement arrives on the scene.
[END LOG]
NOTE: Due to the speed at which it moved, SCP-XXXX's features could not be discerned, beyond allowing for rough estimation to its size. Preliminary estimates are placed at approximately 3-4 metres in height.
Addendum XXXX-2022-a:
Interviewed: Sgt. G. Hardcastle
Interviewer: Dr. Balthazaar
Foreword: SCP-XXXX was finally identified when it manifested at Containment Area 25b, before violently terminating SCP-076-2, while it was in the process of breaching containment. SCP-076-2 had terminated the entire security force guarding it, and was menacing Sgt. G. Hardcastle, the last survivor of the guard force before being interrupted by SCP-XXXX.
<Begin Log>
Dr. Balthazaar: Alright, can you start when XXXX first appeared? You don't have to talk about what happened to your squad if you don't want.
Sgt. Hardcastle: Right. Uh. Well I was by the elevator shaft, out of ammo. 76-2 had just… Just finished with Zane. He was coming over to me, saying the shit he was going to do, you know. Now that we were alone.
Dr. Balthazaar: Fuck. I'm sorry.
Sgt. Hardcastle: Don't. I'm not… It's too fresh.
Dr. Balthazaar: Alright.
Sgt. Hardcastle: First I knew of it was this roar. Sounded like something out of a movie. Then a fucking dinosaur rounded the corner.
Dr. Balthazaar: A dinosaur. What? Are you sure?
Sgt. Hardcastle: Yes I'm sure. A fucking T-Rex. had all these scars and shit like in Jurassic Park. 76-2 just stared at it for a second, talked some shit about it, and then it charged.
Dr. Balthazaar: What did SCP-076-2 say?
Sgt. Hardcastle: I don't know, something like 'You can't touch me you lizard. I'm this, I'm that, I'm a great warrior. That sort of shit its always going on about.
Dr. Balthazaar: Alright. What happened next?
Sgt. Hardcastle: 76-2 made this spear and went to rush the T-Rex, but it was already moving. 76-2 stabbed at its face, but it just punted him across the room. He crashed down next to me, and before it could get up the dinosaur was on him. Grabbed him in its mouth and shook him all over the place. 76-2 got maybe one or two slashes and stabs in before it bit his arm off. Then his legs were off too and it hurled the rest against the wall. It was over too quick if you ask me.
Dr. Balthazaar: … I see. Uh. How is it you avoided attack yourself? Did you do anything in particular?
Sgt. Hardcastle: I don't know. I just tried to stay behind the elevator control console, but it never seemed interested in me. Didn't even acknowledge me at all until 76-2 was done for.
Dr. Balthazaar: I see. and how did it acknowledge you?
Sgt. Hardcastle: It winked at me. Don't give me that look, I know how it sounds. It winked at me, turned and ran around the corner, and it was gone.
Dr. Balthazaar: Right. Thanks for the interview.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Recovered security footage of the incident corroborated Sgt. Hardcastles statement, providing the first clear footage of SCP-XXXX. Analysis shows that SCP-XXXX is a theropodal dinosaur of the species Tyrannosaurus rex measuring 12.7 metres long, 4 metres tall and weighing an estimated 9 tons.Subsequent sightings have shown the injuries inflicted by SCP-076-2 are present in subsequent manifestations, implying this is a singular entity. Upon its subsequent re-appearance, SCP-076-2 declined to comment on the incident.
