Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard light containment humanoid cell. The cell is to be cleaned of secreted blood and stomach acid weekly. Around the clock monitoring is not necessary though it must be checked on at a minimum of three times a day.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an organism that is partially composed of a Ghostly branded "Rippin' Reaper" animatronic Halloween prop. It measures 65 centimeters tall with a shoulder width of 34 centimeters. The head of SCP-XXXX is the standard plastic skull of the "Rippin' Reaper" animatronic Halloween prop with a human brain haphazardly inserted into it. The head of SCP-XXXX does not have real eyes or ears and according to sensory tests it has been determined that it cannot see, hear, or feel. The organs of SCP-XXXX appear to have belonged to that of a 40-60-year-old with a history of alcohol abuse. SCP-XXXX still has bowels despite not having a body below the abdomen. Most of the organs appear to function normally; the lungs are able to expand and contract to inhale and exhale and therefore the heart seems to be able to gain enough oxygen to be able to pump blood to the rest of the body. Due to the exposed nature of its organs and muscles, it secretes blood and stomach acid, which is to be cleaned weekly. SCP-XXXX has a wire, cardboard, and wood frame as well as a human spinal column and shoulder blades, which are connected to a flat 30 centimeter by 30 centimeter wooden stand. The stand has been worn down on the bottom, most likely due to its method of transportation requiring SCP-XXXX to drag itself. The organs and frame of SCP-XXXX are covered with a thin black polyester cloak. The wires from the "Rippin' Reaper" animatronic Halloween prop that would have connected to the rest of the body have been cauterized to the spinal column of the brain.
The left arm is made of wire and cardboard and is attached to the frame. This arm is standard for the "Rippin' Reaper" Halloween prop and does not seem to possess the ability to move or feel. The right arm resembles a degloved left arm of an individual of indeterminate age and does not have any bones. Instead it features abnormal muscle growth which allows SCP-XXXX to move it, although with a limited range of motion, only allowing it to move its arm and hand enough to pull itself short distances. It seems that it may have formed that way as the muscles fill in gaps where bone would have been. The arm seems to have formed without skin as well evidenced by the strengthened muscle tissue on the areas of muscle that are more prone to contact. These calluses indicate that SCP-XXXX has been in this condition at least 5 years. Along with not having any skin, the humanoid arm also does not have any nerves. Despite that, SCP-XXXX seems to still be able to tell when something is in its way.
The head is fitted with an animatronic jaw possessing the capability of only moving up and down with no sound being produced besides the sounds of the jaw itself moving. Its jaw seems to be constantly moving in unpredictable patterns. The jaw's movement has been tested with morse code and binary, although neither came out with anything coherent. Tests to find new forms of communication were not fruitful. A request has been sent to the O5 Council to attempt to find a Thamuel SCP object or entity that would assist in communication, or utilize a cerebral hearing aid and a thought-to-text system to attempt to communicate with SCP-XXXX.1
SCP-XXXX was discovered in Crewdson, Indiana on July 25th, 2014 at 22:56 when A Jim Crocket, aged 62, found SCP-XXXX after his dog had attacked it while dragging itself through his property. Jim Crocket then called the local police department, causing a facility plant to contact the local Site-64 to send containment specialists to transport it there. Jim Crocket and his dog were issued class A amnesthetics and the event was stricken from the police station's records. When the containment specialists arrived, they had to perform emergency surgery on SCP-XXXX as it had gravel, plants, and insects inside its organs, as well as the wounds it received from when Jim Crocket's dog attacked it. The foreign objects which had gotten inside due to the lacerations received from dragging itself were removed. Containment specialists at the time were unable to determine where SCP-XXXX had come from or how long it had been dragging itself.
For 2 days and 14 hours after it was acquired, SCP-XXXX did not move after being placed into its cell. It then started pulling itself around the cell, as if it didn't realize that it had been relocated. Once it hit a wall, it sat still for about 3 minutes before attempting to circumnavigate the obstacle. After it had traced all the walls of its cell, it sat still for another 2 days and 20 hours before attempting again. Every 2-3 days, SCP-XXXX will attempt to get past the East wall, assumedly to resume its efforts from before its containment. This is considered normal, and any change in this behavior should be reported to the acting NHE supervisor on duty. SCP-XXXX is docile, but it is unknown whether it is willingly docile or if it is due to its sensory handicaps. It is currently unknown if SCP-XXXX has a destination or if it is just its nature to continue moving with no goal. A field research operation would be required to find this out, though it has not yet been determined whether or not it is worth the risk to undergo the operation. A request has been sent to the O5 Council. An addendum will be added when there is a response.2
Addendum 1: The research operation to discover the origins and goals of SCP-XXXX has been approved. SCP-XXXX is to be transported to the location of discovery. A team of two researchers, two containment specialists, and four MTF agents were sent out to follow SCP-XXXX. Since SCP-XXXX does not seem to sleep, one group consisting of one researcher, one containment specialist, and two MTF agents will follow SCP-XXXX while the other team sleeps. They will switch off every 24 hours. SCP-XXXX is to be fitted with a tracking collar in case the research team loses track of SCP-XXXX. The field logs follow.

Day 1
Team: Alpha
Author: Researcher Hogan
Today is day 1 of following SCP-XXXX to its destination. I don't know what we're going to find but it hope it will help us discover the origin of SCP-XXXX.
10/11/2014
Day 7
Team: Beta
Author: Researcher Marston
MTF Agent Bell thinks he saw SCP-XXXX rotating slightly but he's not sure so we will have to pay attention.
10/18/1999
Day 14
Team: Alpha
Author: Containment Specialist Morgan
We had to take a break and perform some first aid on SCP-XXXX. His hand was all torn up and some gravel had gotten into his organs.
10/21/2014
Day 17
Team: Alpha
Author: Researcher Hogan
SCP-XXXX woke back up while we were eating breakfast so we didn't get to finish.
10/22/2014
Day 18
Team: Beta
Author: Researcher Marston
So now we are almost 100% sure that SCP-XXXX is changing directions but that doesn't entirely mean that he knows where he's going.
10/24/2014
Day 20
Team: Alpha
Author: Researcher Hogan
It has been almost three weeks and SCP-XXXX still shows no sign of stopping, but he definitely seems to have a destination in mind. When we pick him up and spin him around and such he rotates back to the direction he was going and resumes his journey.
10/27/2014
Day 23
Team: Alpha
Author: Containment Specialist Morgan
We're getting close to a town so it might start getting harder to keep him hidden. If we are spotted we will use cover 1138, saying we're location scouting for a movie and our accompanying SCP is a prop.
10/31/2014
Day 27
Team: Alpha
Author: Researcher Hogan
We are now in a valley on the outskirts of Jefferson, Ohio. There is a very small cabin near the foot of a mountain and it looks like where SCP-XXXX is going. We'll send some MTF ahead to scope out the place.
10/31/2014
Day 27
Team: Alpha
Author: MTF Agent Isaac
The cabin seems to have been empty for years. The wallpaper's all faded, the floor's covered in leaves, and there's animal droppings all over. But when I turned the corner there were tons of them, tons of home appliances and toys and such all with guts spilling out of them. They were all huddled in the garage crowded near this bookshelf. They kept reaching for this one book, it was made of metal and the pages were made of animal skins. I dropped it on the floor on accident and they all started fighting over it. Thankfully they were all really short so I was able to just grab it and hold it over their heads so they would stop fighting.
11/1/2014
Day 28
Team: Alpha
Author: MTF Agent Isaac
The containment specialists have arrived. Looks like we're all going home.
Addendum 2: Testing has confirmed that the book, which will now be designated SCP-YYYY, is what SCP-XXXX has been following.
Addendum 3: The four new instances of SCP-XXXX have been brought to Site-64. They have each been given a designation from SCP-XXXX-2 to SCP-XXXX-5. SCP-XXXX-2 is a Ghostly branded Startlin' Scarecrow Halloween prop that features similar organ placement to SCP-XXXX (now designated SCP-XXXX-1) but features two human legs in place of the cloth ones that are standard for the Stratlin' Scarecrow. SCP-XXXX-3 is a Burp Up Baby doll featuring human eyes drilled into the head with screws that are poking out the back, as well as featuring a torso that is perched atop one human left foot. SCP-XXXX-4 is a burlap sack filled with a disassembled human body. SCP-XXXX-4 moves by wiggling itself similar to the movements of an inch worm. SCP-XXXX-5 is a Ove-Max toaster with two human arms coming out of the top slots. X-rays have shown that all instances of SCP-XXXX feature lungs, hearts, intestines, and bowels, although SCP-XXXX-1 is the only one to possess a brain.
Addendum 4: The O5 Council has rejected the request for testing with a Thamuel SCP object or entity but has approved use of the cerebral hearing aid and thought-to-text system with SCP-XXXX-1 to attempt to gain more information about the book that was found at the presumed domicile of SCP-XXXX-1.

Interviewer: (Aside) How long is that?
Interview Observer: Like eight or nine years.
SCP-XXXX-1: Where am I?
Interviewer: You're in the SCP Facility. We contain and protect anomalies like yourself.
SCP-XXXX-1: What am I?
Interviewer: Oh. Uh, you're like some sort of plastic skeleton with a bunch of organs? And a human arm.
SCP-XXXX-1: So it didn't work right.
Interviewer: What didn't work?
SCP-XXXX-1: Please help me.
Interviewer: We're trying. What didn't work?
SCP-XXXX-1: The book lied to me.
Interviewer: "The book"? Are you referring to the book that you led us to? Please, what can you tell us about this book?
SCP-XXXX-1: It's the Necromechanomicon.
Interviewer: Necromechanomicon?
SCP-XXXX-1: It was supposed to give me eternal life. I did everything right.
Interviewer: How was it supposed to work?
SCP-XXXX-1: I was supposed to become bound to an object that I could live through.
Interviewer: So what happened?
SCP-XXXX-1: It must have chosen this vessel. But I don't know why I still have these organic organs. I was supposed to become immortal.
Interviewer: How were you able to find the book without any senses?
SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know.
Interviewer: Is the book of any use to you now? Can it change you back?
SCP-XXXX-1: In the state I'm in it would probably result in my death.
Interviewer: How so?
SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know how it works. As you can see.
Interviewer: Ah well I guess so.
SCP-XXXX-1: 252937045.
Interviewer: So how did you acquire the book?
SCP-XXXX-1: Got it from a usedself-help book store.
Interviewer: Why would a place like that have a book like this?
SCP-XXXX-1: They had foreign imports.
Interviewer: Do you remember the name of the store? Where it was?
SCP-XXXX-1: No. 252937138.
Interviewer: Fuck. Was it near your house?
SCP-XXXX-1: I think maybe.
Interviewer: (Aside) Find any and all book stores that match his description.
Interview Observer: Yes sir.
Interviewer: So, let's see, what else is there to ask. Ah, what were you doing in Crewdson, Indiana?
SCP-XXXX-1: I don't know where that is.
Interviewer: Well what were you doing so far away from your house?
SCP-XXXX-1: The book was calling to me.
Interviewer: But the book was already at your house.
SCP-XXXX-1: No.
Interviewer: Wait where did you live?
SCP-XXXX-1: 773 K. West Street San Pablo, Texas.
Interviewer: Aw shit, of course that wasn't your house! Why would you have ended up in Indiana following the book if you were created in the house with the book?
SCP-XXXX-1: I was wandering until I felt that the book was being taken from me. Then I followed it.
Interviewer: Well it was found in Jefferson, Ohio.
SCP-XXXX-1: May I have the book?
Interviewer: No that's property of the SCP Facility now. Now, I have some more questions for you. Who were your friends that we found in the house in Jefferson, Ohio?
SCP-XXXX-1: They must have been others that followed the book.
Interviewer: What does that mean? How did they get their hands on the book?
SCP-XXXX-1: I posted it online.
Interviewer: What? Where?
SCP-XXXX-1: ███-████.███████.███
- Editor's Note: The website has been successfully shut down and redacted from all public records
Interviewer: God damnit, we've got to get on that.
SCP-XXXX-1: I just couldn't help myself. The book inspired me to do it.
Interviewer: Literally?
SCP-XXXX-1: It calls to me.
Interviewer: Like literally?
SCP-XXXX-1: Yes, it talks to me, tells me what I want to hear. I think it might be lying to me. I don't trust it. It made me this way after saying it could make me live forever. But it wasn't lying, I will live forever. But I'll be living like this. It didn't say that. It didn't have to, it was telling the truth. I love the book. It lied to me. It lies to me. I love it.
Interviewer: What would you do with the book if you did have it?
SCP-XXXX-1: Why would I tell you? You just want to use it for yourself. You're jealous.
Interviewer: Please, just answer the question.
SCP-XXXX-1: I refuse to answer any more questions.
Interviewer: Wait a minute, you don't have eyes. You can't read! What exactly do you expect to do with the book? Hello?
Interviewer: (Aside) Is he still alive? Then can he still hear us? Oh well, I guess we're done here.

Day 1
Author: Researcher Johnson
The house had been reclaimed by the state and a majority of his belongings had been sold off at auction; presumably that's where the other guy got the book. They had already dumped what little stuff was left after the auction but thankfully they had logged what it all was. The only things of interest were some water damaged self-help books and the empty box of a Rippin' Reaper Halloween prop.
The owner of the house, a Dutch Flynn, aged 56, had been missing for two years, and with no relatives his belongings were reclaimed by the state. That was eight years ago.
Addendum 6: This shall be the final addendum for SCP-XXXX.
According to newly discovered information, each instance of SCP-XXXX is the result of a successful attempt to use the magics found inside SCP-YYYY. After transmogrifying themselves into what they are today, each instance of SCP-XXXX wandered, attempting to follow the book. After having gone missing and being presumed dead, Dutch Flynn, A.K.A. SCP-XXXX-1, had his property and belongings reclaimed by before being sold at auction. At that auction SCP-YYYY was sold for $40 to an unknown person who then presumably took it to their cabin in Jefferson, Ohio, where all the other instances of SCP-XXXX finally caught up with it.
It is unknown who owned the cabin in Jefferson, Ohio or where they are today.
Addendum 7: A new instance of SCP-XXXX has appeared at the front door of the front hiding the entrance to Site-64. It will be designated SCP-XXXX-6. SCP-XXXX-6 is the most "complete" of all instances of SCP-XXXX, being made out of the head of a mannequin but featuring the torso, arms, legs, and genitals of a human male. The torso is filled with a mostly intact human respiratory, circulatory, and digestive system, but like most other instances of SCP-XXXX features no brain.
It can be assumed that more instances of SCP-XXXX will arrive soon.
Item #: SCP-YYYY
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-YYYY is to be kept in 9385.79-0001.00 in the "Library of Alexandria" of Site-64 with other safe books and book-like objects. The contents SCP-YYYY will be kept secret under level 3 clearance.
SCP-YYYY is being kept where it is, closest to the containment cell of SCP-XXXX while still being in the "Library of Alexandria", in an attempt to help comfort SCP-XXXX as SCP-XXXX feels a constant need to seek out SCP-YYYY.
Description: SCP-YYYY is a book that has been identified as The Necromechanomicon by SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-YYYY measures 30 centimeters by 12 centimeters and is bound in sheet metal with symbols on the front featuring a deer, a robot, and a skull. Testing has revealed the SCP-YYYY to be somewhere between 2000 and 1500 years old. Each of the pages in SCP-YYYY is made out of a different animals' skin. In total there are 53 pages consisting of 53 different animal skins.SCP-YYYY was found in a house on the outskirts of Jefferson, Ohio during a research operation with SCP-XXXX-1 where it led researchers to an abandoned cabin in Jefferson, Ohio where SCP-YYYY was found along with many other instances of SCP-XXXX, all of whom were trying to get a hold of SCP-YYYY. The owner of the cabin presumably bought it at the estate auction of SCP-XXXX-1 since they had been missing for years and presumed dead because they were transmogrified into what SCP-XXXX-1 is today. SCP-XXXX-1 acquired the book from an unknown bookstore that the facility has still be unable to identify. SCP-XXXX-1 described the bookstore as a "used bookstore" with "foreign imports" but none have been discovered that meet his description. The owner of the cabin in Jefferson, Ohio has never been found or identified.
SCP-XXXX-1 admitted to having posted the contents of SCP-YYYY on ███-████.███████.███ meaning that an unknown amount of people could have seen it and performed the spells, meaning there may be an unknown number of instances of SCP-XXXX out there.
The contents of SCP-YYYY are written in ancient ████████████ and features a uncredited foreword. The foreword talks of witnessing the evolution of technology and how the writer feels that the evolution of technology should be tied into the evolution of man to help advance the human race as fast as possible. The writer talks of how they explored the entire Earth collecting the skin of every animal he could to create SCP-YYYY. Further pages describe the process of "mechamortality" that the author developed to help himself live forever.
