Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid (Pending Keter designation, see Incident-2)

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a 20 (twenty) by 20 (twenty) by 16 (sixteen) feet containment chamber built of reinforced silicon nitride. The chamber is to have a ventilation system for use of keeping the chamber within survivable limits for personnel. A fire suppression system not based on water is to be installed in the chamber, to be used in testing and the event that SCP-XXXX becomes angered and dangerous or attempts to breach containment. If SCP-XXXX complains of boredom, D-class █████████ is to be sent in with a board game. In the case they are unavailable, another D-class may be sent in, or any volunteering researcher.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a large, living fire (with an average temperature of 2,600°F) in the shape of a phoenix named "Felcian" residing inside a hollow, 12-foot tall statue of the same shape made of near pitch, solidified black ash. The fire within the statue is visible both through the holes where its eyes would be, as well as in its beak when it opens. Despite its high heat, the only colors ever-present in the flame is shades of orange and white. SCP-XXXX is completely sapient, and capable of understanding complicated English and orders, and is capable of communication through a seemingly one-way psychic connection; allowing it to communicate despite its lack of vocalization.

SCP-XXXX is capable of 'detonating' its shell, causing the solid ash to splinter and become dangerous shrapnel, and exposing its fiery body. In this state, SCP-XXXX quickly becomes exhausted but is capable of surrounding objects with its body, burning them quickly, and in some odd cases 'consuming' the object. After this event, SCP-XXXX's ashen shell reconstructs itself. The source of the ash used in reconstruction is unknown as the shrapnel from the earlier shell persists.

SCP-XXXX tends to look down and mock those she believes to be beneath her, though it does respect D-class █████████ due to him constantly beating it in chess when testing SCP-XXXX's intelligence. To date, no other person has beaten SCP-XXXX at chess, or done anything else to respect them, and often are subtly insulted when entering her chamber.
