Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid Neutralized

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently located in ████████████, Palulu County, United States of America. Attempts to contain SCP-XXXX are underway at the time of writing.

By O5 Council Ruling XXXX-3 on 4/█/19██, SCP-XXXX has been reclassified as Neutralized as a result of Incident XXXX-A, rendering former Containment Procedures outdated. No special containment procedures are in effect as Provisional Area-██ has been dismantled and supervision of ████████████ has been transferred to the US Military and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Description: SCP-XXXX was a humanoid entity, dark grey in color and measuring approximately 2 meters in height. SCP-XXXX's arms and legs were unnaturally long, lacking human features such as fingers or palms, but able to exert incredible force and crush a human skull with little to no effort. SCP-XXXX displayed a certain intolerance to natural light, although the exact extent of the damage natural light could cause SCP-XXXX is not known.
SCP-XXXX lacked facial features such as eyes (although presenting vestigial eye holes) or ears, presenting a mouth with sharp teeth that could open up to 1.3 times the length of a normal human mouth, facilitating the creature to bite off heads of animals. It is speculated that this, along with the lack of perceived weak spots such as eyes or ears, are all results of evolution, giving the entity an advantage in hunting.

At 2:56 AM, Foundation personnel at █████ █████████ Military Base lost SCP-XXXX's heat signature, rendering any localisation effort useless. With Agent ██████ incapacitated and no one else inside the town to act as liaison, communications and surveillance dropped. Reinforcements were requested only after Agent ██████ was debriefed. After approximately 2 hours, local police chief █████ Cooper established contact with the military base, informing them that SCP-XXXX had entered the town and started a 'massive bloodbath'. He also specified that, although the town was 'barely keeping him in check' in the town square, it was actively trying to make its way towards an apartment complex near the local police station, presumably to escape. The Foundation ordered immediate mobilization of MTF Rho-██ (the reinforcements requested), and ordered them into the town to capture the SCP. Foundation Command however lost contact with the team some time after their entry into the town. Closer observation of the town indicated little to no light was present. Chief Cooper stated that the creature had been ripping out lamp posts and other light sources, later confirmed as true during exploration of the town junkyard.
At this point, military personnel were showing signs of distress. After Command ordered another attempt at capturing the SCP, Captain Arthur ████████ arrested all Foundation personnel stationed on-site, and ordered the US Airforce to strike the town without evacuating the civilians. Ten minutes later, three planes bombed the city, resulting in ███ casualties. One week later, Foundation operatives of MTF Epsilon-7 located SCP-XXXX's remains in a crater near a residential complex, three blocks away from the police station.

Note: Captain Arthur ████████ was sought by the Foundation Ethics Committee for an interview before his trial. Foundation efforts were, however, useless as the GOC offered immunity to him on the grounds of 'acting under stress' and 'not allowing an anomaly escape'. A deal was later negotiated with the US and UN governments, which passed control over ██████████ to them in exchange for Captain Arthur. The deal was accepted and Captain Arthur ████████ was arrested and sentenced to ██ years prison time. Upon hearing the total death toll, Captain Arthur fainted and remained unconscious for 15 minutes, after which he awoke only to suffer a heart attack and die 3 minutes later.

One week after the incident which led to the termination of SCP-XXXX, the Foundation approved a series of exploration missions both into ██████████ and the forest on the outskirts, targeting a number of Areas of Interest, ranging from I to VIII.

Note: The 20 year old female's time of death was recorded as 23:13, while the rest were around 2:42.
Note: Areas of Interest IV-VI present no additional unusual or otherwise noteworthy properties/characteristics and have been deemed inessential, and thus removed from this file. Total number of victims discovered amounts to ███, including those in Area of Interest III. Times of death are all approximated around 3:36 AM, specifically: AoI VI- 4:31; AoI IV - 3:15; AoI V - 3:57; AoI III- 2:42. This appears to be linked with the times of death of the bodies in the town square (AoI II), most of them having died at 5:23 AM.
