Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: [Pending Classification]
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is kept within a 3mx3mx6m containment cell, with bulletproof plexiglass for viewing. Four cameras are placed within the containment cell, one in each top corner. After a host is claimed by SCP-XXXX, the bulletproof plexiglass should be reinforced and blocked off with a 10-centimeter thick steel sheet and all doors bolted shut as well as reinforced. Under no circumstance is this to be interrupted at any point until a security member with Level IV clearance or higher gives the order to do so. The calling off of this isolation should only ever be done if SCP-XXXX has finished consumption as well as digestion of all body parts. There is no need for a direct viewing of consumption other than the camera feed from the containment cell as it only endangers the staff of the site.
All operations and handling of SCP-XXXX should be strictly done with hazmat suits or with fully covering clothing. No skin should ever be exposed when present within the containment cell of SCP-XXXX. Any personnel left behind in the isolation should be considered deceased upon sealing off of the containment cell. Though this seems unethical it would only endanger more lives with a possible breach of containment. If possible without incident, the saving of security personnel is requested. However, if there is any chance of a possible containment breach by doing so, the risk should not be taken.
After each testing, SCP-XXXX should remain in isolation until the structure has deteriorated and SCP-XXXX is no longer capable of movement outside of having a host. If any deviation from this is to occur, those responsible may be faced with termination for endangering the facility.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a thick layer of skin in the shape of a human, with a zipper made out of a white, enamel material along with a large front tooth as the pull tab. DNA testing has shown the teeth to be identical to that of the teeth from subjects consumed. This zipper goes from the forehead to the stomach of the suit. The suit has four gastric glands within it, using them to speed up the process of digestion and consumption. This gastric acid is intensely concentrated and is abnormally strong, making researchers question how SCP-XXXX has not digested itself.
The suit has no discernable facial features and appears to be akin to that of a mask template of a human. The suit has no discernable gender either, despite its epidermis matching genetically to that of the genus, Homo. It has often been remarked as looking similar to a skin-tight suit that is too thick and heavy to wear.
SCP-XXXX activated when skin to skin contact occurs between the subject, designated SCP-XXXX-1. Once SCP-XXXX is activated it will proceed to latch onto SCP-XXXX-1 and begin molding onto it. After a period of █ minutes, it will fully mold onto SCP-XXXX-1. The zipper remains open and SCP-XXXX-1 is able to speak and think freely. However, SCP-XXXX-1’s movements are restricted to the movement of SCP-XXXX. No matter the physical state of the subject, SCP-XXXX will always adjust to the needed size and begin to slim down. SCP-XXXX does this using its gastric glands to begin digesting the fats of SCP-XXXX-1. This is not a process that is particularly fast and tends to cause intense pain to SCP-XXXX-1, who will most often die of shock before the one week consumption period can begin. SCP-XXXX will often overextend tendons and break bones in order to perform inhuman feats, such as enhanced agility and overall strength.
SCP-XXXX has been documented with a punch of ████ Newtons of force, breaking bones and thinner steel plates, immediately on impact. However this kind of force will almost always overextend tendons and break bones depending on the target of the strike, the chance of this happening varies between different subjects usually relying on how physically fit the subject is. SCP-XXXX will often mend and correct these bones, using its boney armor as a splint. SCP-XXXX-1, remaining conscious, will often attempt to struggle before this point. They will usually begin to lose consciousness around the first strike SCP-XXXX delivers, or they will die of shock at this point.
After around 24 hours of a host being used, they will succumb to the gastric acid and become too skinny or mangled to properly walk or move without breaking bones. If the suit has a nearby suitable host, it will excrete an increased amount of gastric acid and spit out parts of the previous host that was in the process of digestion. After this, it will peel itself off of the current host and begin to mold on the next.

Description:SCP-XXXX is a thick layer of skin in the shape of a human, with a zipper made out of a white, enamel material along with a large, maxillary central incisor as the pull tab. DNA testing has shown the teeth to be identical to that of the teeth from subjects consumed. This zipper goes from the forehead to the lower abdomen of the suit and is used to fully encapsulate subjects as well as to not stretch out the suit too much while it thins out its subject. The suit has four gastric glands within it, using them to speed up the process of digestion and consumption. This gastric acid has varied between 0.5 and 0.3 on pH Scale testing, making researchers question how SCP-XXXX has not digested itself. Additionally, the suit has three glands containing formaldehyde. These are used to preserve limbs and parts that are spat out during host transfer. This is the only known excretion function the suit has.
The suit has no discernable facial features and appears to be akin to that of a basic template of a human. The suit has no discernable gender either, despite its epidermis matching genetically to that of the genus, Homo.

SCP-XXXX does this using its gastric glands to begin digesting the fats of SCP-XXXX-1, though it seems incapable of digesting the subjects thick bones and spares the ribs. These bones are often used as armor or, rarely, as structure when SCP-XXXX does not have a host. This is not a process that is particularly fast and tends to cause intense pain to SCP-XXXX-1, who will most often die of shock before the one week consumption period can begin. SCP-XXXX will often overextend tendons and break bones in order to perform inhuman feats, such as enhanced agility and overall strength.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was first found in downtown ██████ when a report came in of people disappearing without any trace of abduction or human DNA in missing person's homes. The Foundation was alerted when a limb covered in a thick coating of formaldehyde was found in an alleyway on █████ Drive. This was incredibly strange as the public had no direct access to formaldehyde, especially in such portions. During an investigation that ██████ Police Department was conducting, SCP-XXXX attacked, engulfing the arm into its mass. At the time SCP-XXXX had been feeding on the city, going from host to host to keep itself well fed.
SCP-XXXX was shot 28 times by six different officers. The bullets were engulfed into its mass, then removed when no nutritional value was found. SCP-XXXX then proceeded to look at the officers and jump onto the nearest fire escape to then launch itself onto the roof. The Foundation was notified immediately and two agents were sent to try to find and locate common spots used by SCP-XXXX.
Once a pattern was found in its movements, an immediate quarantine was established and a 1-mile area around it evacuated under the ruse of; "High Sinkhole Probability Area". A 5 man squad from Mobile Task Force Epsilon-6 were sent to contain SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX widdled this 5 man squad down to 2 men after 4 weeks of containment attempts. SCP-XXXX was contained using 10-centimeter thick, steel box that was dropped onto it by one of the operatives from Mobile Task Force Epsilon-6. After containment was achieved the quarantine was lifted until further notice.
Addendum: MTF Epsilon-6 Survivors Interview
Interviewer: ** Dr.Ettical
Interviewed:** Mr.Clemmings and Mr.Possum of Mobile Task Force Epsilon-6
Forward: This interview was after the initial containment of SCP-XXXX, and while it was being placed into containment. After the breach, SCP-XXXX was re-captured and staff observed high priority containment of SCP-XXXX
<Begin Log, 9/3/20██>
Dr.Etticall: Hello there, Mr. Clemmings. I'm Dr.Etticall, I'll be asking you a few questions. Is that alright?
Mr.Clemmings: Fine by me.
Dr.Etticall: Alrighty. I know you were part of the Epsilon-6 squad sent to capture SCP-XXXX. What exactly did you see? If you don't wish to answer, you are able to deny answering.
Mr.Clemmings: That thing ate 3 of us. It ate ████ alive. It used his body and attacked us. He screamed every second he was in that suit. Can you possibly imagine watching that? Watching a man be eaten while he attacks his peers? He told us to run, so we did. We got into a building, but it was still looking for us. We managed to get an aim on him and shot him in the head. The fucking thing still moved on, now it just knew where we were. It jumped to our window, I think I heard ████'s bones snapping. We shot it all we could, but it just spat out the bullets. We started grabbing things and hitting the damned thing until it was just crumbled up on the floor. We ran from the room, we didn't want to risk it killing us all at once. We took cover in another building and kept watch on the street. Once a week passed without any signs of the thing, we started to move around, looking for it. We checked the other building and in the room, we were in. It was gone. We thought it couldn't've gotten far so we checked the entire building. That took up a whole day itself. We didn't expect to take any longer than this and we started running low on provisions. We got onto the roof of the building to get a better look and found the thing in a pile of bones and flesh sitting a couple of feet from the edge. It kind of moved itself using the bones. It basically dragged itself across the roof. █████ threw up over the edge and didn't want to look at it anymore. Then I heard a snap and it lunged at █████. It latched onto him good and started to move around him. I'm sure you know the rest.
Dr.Etticall: Could you please elaborate on the story. Let's say I wasn't informed of the ending.
Mr.Clemmings: Fine. █████ ran at us and punched the squad leader onto the other side of the roof. He damn near slid off. Though, maybe that would've been better. The thing ran after him, dunno why it ignored us though. Maybe it was trying to-
Containment breach warning siren blares
Mr.Clemmings: Fuck is that?
Dr.Etticall: That would be the containment breach warning. We'll have to pick up this interview some other time. For now, we'll have to wait-
Security can be heard in the background
Mr.Clemmings: What are they doing out there?
Dr.Etticall: Probably containing the SCP.
Security team breaks into the interview room
Security Staff Member: Come with me, now!
Dr.Etticall: Come on then Mr.Clemmings.
Mr.Clemmings: What about ████?
Dr.Etticall: I'm sure Mr.Possum is fine, but for now just focus on yourself.
Bone crunching and screams can be heard distantly
Mr.Clemmings: You haven't gotten that thing under control!
Bone crunching gradually gets louder and screaming fades entirely
Security Staff Member: Mr.Clemmings, come with us now!
Bone crunching immediately follows
<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-XXXX proceded to kill 15 security staff members within the time it was out of containment. The area SCP-XXXX was located in was sealed off until video surveillance feed showed SCP-XXXX ceasing movement 18 weeks later. SCP-XXXX was then moved into containment safely.
Addendum: Test Log SCP-XXXX-T1
Purpose: This test was to see just how SCP-XXXX latches onto hosts, whether it required direct contact or general vicinity.
Procedure: One D-Class personnel (D-97841) was to be placed into the testing chamber with SCP-XXXX. D-97841 will not be aware of the effects of SCP-XXXX and will be dressed in standard D-Class apparel. D-97841 will then be instructed to put it's hand one foot above SCP-XXXX. D-97841 will then be instructed to slowly lower its hand onto SCP-XXXX.
Results: SCP-XXXX reacted instantaneously one it made contact with the skin of D-97841. It latched on and began the consumption process. Several attempts were made by SCP-XXXX to breach containment using brute force. SCP-XXXX, though leaving significant dents in the 10-centimeter steel sheet, failed to do so before breaking the arms of D-97841 to the point of uselessness. D-97841 proceded to struggle against consumption for two days, repeatedly screaming; "Get it off" and "I don't want to die like this".
Additional Notes: D-97841 lasted extraordinarily long in the process of consumption. It is not fully known how D-97841 did not die of shock or general damage. It could be possible SCP-XXXX's gastric glands were not completely full due to the 15 man feeding it had during the interview. Further investigation not needed.
Addendum: Test Log SCP-XXXX-T2
Purpose: This test was to see just how resilient SCP-XXXX truly was.
Procedure: SCP-XXXX's containment chamber was fitted with four semi-automatic turrets. Each one facing SCP-XXXX. One D-Class personnel (D-88762) was placed into the test chamber in standard D-Class apparel. D-88762 was to activate the suit.
Results: D-88762 was placed into containment cell and immediately noticed the turrets. D-88762 expressed concern towards this. D-88762 was reminded that denial of orders is grounds for termination. D-88762 thought for a moment, then proceded towards SCP-XXXX. D-88762 grabbed SCP-XXXX, which immediately latched onto D-88762. This startled D-88762 and began trying to shake and peel off SCP-XXXX. The turrets began aiming and D-88762 began to struggle even more violently. Once SCP-XXXX had fully molded onto D-88762, D-88762 began to struggle against SCP-XXXX, shouting; "Stop! I want to stop!" and "Get it off me, it burns!". The turrets began to fire on SCP-XXXX effectively hitting each shot. Upon contact, however, the bullets completely ceased motion and sank into SCP-XXXX. These bullets stayed within SCP-XXXX for 4 seconds before being removed. SCP-XXXX then attacked all four turrets and effectively destroyed them. In the process of destroying the turrets, D-88762 died of shock. After 1 week, D-88762 was fully digested.
Addendum: Incident Video Dication
Time; 12:00 PM EST ██/██/20██: The subject is placed into containment chamber with SCP-XXXX. The subject was only told that SCP-XXXX will make him stronger. The subject hesitates to touch SCP-XXXX at first but then plunges its hand into the zipper. SCP-XXXX immediately activates and begins to mold onto the subject's arm.
Time; 12:05 PM EST ██/██/20██: SCP-XXXX is fully molded onto the subject. Subject shows no sign of distress or pain. SCP-XXXX then begins to move around muscle mass and appears to make an obscenely muscular arm and subject then yelled in pain. Bone crunching is heard and SCP-XXXX lunges at the steel plate blocking off the plexiglass. SCP-XXXX throws a punches making a decent sized hole in the plate. The subject can be seen grinning and bleeding mumbling something to itself.
Video cuts out
Time: 8:50 AM EST ██/██/20██: SCP-XXXX can be seen in its containment cell with 28 additional corpses in the containment cell, all being identified as on-site staff, most of which being security. The containment breach alarm is distantly playing.
Video cuts out
Time: 12:30 PM EST ██/██/20██: SCP-XXXX is seen looking directly at one of the cameras appearing to analyze it. SCP-XXXX then lunged at one of the cameras, attacking it. SCP-XXXX proceeded to take down every camera within its containment cell.
Video feed ends
It took ██ months for SCP-XXXX to be fully and safely re-contained into normal conditions. Further testing was forbidden without the approval of Level-IV and higher research personnel. This incident only occurred when SCP-XXXX was given a subject that was above average in terms of physical fitness. Under no circumstance is a similar subject to be given unless under O-5 Command.
Additional Notes: This thing is dangerous. We never should've been testing and messing with it at all. I've asked to have this thing fully sealed off from human contact, it'll just cause more casualties to occur.
-Dr.Mitchel
To the O-5 Council: SCP-XXXX has breached containment and has caused more casualties and trouble than it's truly worth researching. I'm asking for a full ceasing of testing and sealing off of SCP-XXXX.
- Dr.Mitchell
Dr.Mitchell: I truly would truly beg to differ. SCP-XXXX should be tested so it can be fully understood and contained to such a standard that it can no longer breach containment. Request denied. O5-██
Addendum: Test Log SCP-XXXX-T2
Purpose: SCP-XXXX retained full bone structure from the previously stated incident for upwards of 4 months. This test was for the purpose of seeing if with such bone structure if it needed a host to be fully mobile.
Procedure: SCP-XXXX would be left for 6 weeks in its containment cell undisturbed. After which, four D-Class personnel (D-98735, D-09467, D-78462, D-97803) without any knowledge of SCP-XXXX, would be sent into the containment cell under the orders to terminate it using gunfire. These D-Class personnel would be using cameras to document SCP-XXXX in its current state.
Results: The four D-Class personnel entered the containment cell uneasy and looking around for any signs of movement. D-98735 and D-78462 nearly threw up from the smell of the decaying bodies. SCP-XXXX was spotted and three D-Class personnel opened fire on SCP-XXXX. D-98735 went into a state of shock and began to move to the door of the cell. SCP-XXXX lunged at D-09467 who began firing on it. It had noticeably more bones, they nearly covered its entire host, who had been decayed to a near-skeletal state. It seemed to move much more stiffly being restricted by the bones.
SCP-XXXX retained massive damage to its skeletal structure after it had fifty rounds shot into it by D-78462 and D-97803. SCP-XXXX killed both after transferring onto D-09467. D-98735 was told to fire on SCP-XXXX or face termination. D-98735 did not comply. D-98735 was then attacked by SCP-XXXX, which killed him immediately with a strike to his head that broke his neck.
No similar attempts were made. SCP-XXXX remained in lockdown for ██ months until it was able to be confirmed immobile. A hazmat team with fully covering clothing and taser sticks was sent in to clean up the cell.
