SCP-XXX: The Shadow

Object class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX must be kept in a 6x6x6 fully lit room, with the lights behind a 2-inch thick shatter-proof Plexiglas. 4 D-class personal are too enter with high-power lights if the lights go off and aim the beams at SCP-XXXX to immobilize it while a Containment Specialist restores the lights.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an amorphous humanoid-sized shadow that has been shown to show basic intelligence.

SCP-XXXX has the ability to possess others through going into their shadows, after possession, SCP-XXXX gain the memories and intelligence of it's host. So far, the only way to stop the possession is to expose the host to so much light that the host can not make a shadow and thus SCP-XXXX is forced out and immobilize.

Interviews with the victims show that they have no memories during the time they are possessed, and have no signs of mental or physical damages.

Attempts to damage SCP-XXXX have wielded no success, with only light being the only thing that can immobilize it. Personal have talked to SCP-XXXX while it has possessed a host, and with a host it has shown to be well mannered and well-spoken, but will not always comply or answer questions.

Addendum: There have been discussions to use SCP-XXXX on the other SCP's to get more information, but all proposed experiments have been denied as there is still no knowledge on if a host can overpower it.
