Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter/Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX-α is classified as a Keter-class entity, and has not yet been contained by the foundation. SCP-XXXX-A has been designated as Euclid.

SCP-XXXX-A is to be kept in a large containment cell, equal to or larger than one kilometer in diameter, and 10 feet in height. The cell’s interior must be lined with material of equivalent or higher strength to concrete. 6 containment personnel are to enter SCP-XXXX-A’s containment cell with at least 200 kg of animal meat and 100 kg of fruits and vegetables, treated with the particulate substance from SCP-XXXX-α, every other day. Personnel must be equipped with low-grade body armor whilst in SCP-XXXX-A’s containment cell. An artificial pond within the confines of the enclosure should be kept constantly filled with clean water for SCP-XXXX-A entities to bathe and drink from

Activity of SCP-XXXX-A should be monitored through the cameras transmitting live feed placed throughout the enclosure. If SCP-XXXX-A-2 is observed to lay eggs, all instances of SCP-XXXX-A should be tranquilized, and the eggs should be collected and preserved for later study and labeled SCP-XXXX-A-O. Any structure eggs are retrieved from should be destroyed.

Once a month, buildup of excrement from SCP-XXXX-A instances is to be removed from the containment cell.

Indication of appearance of an instance of SCP-XXXX-α is to be investigated by the foundation immediately.

Description: SCP-XXXX-α is vaguely reptilian, and has a hide bearing deep purple and pink hues with white markings. In place of eyes, it has two irregularly shaped organs that serve an unknown purpose. Despite the lack of eyes, it seems well aware of its surroundings. The entity possesses two legs at its rear, each bearing eight talons, and four wings, two on the shoulders, rectangular in shape when outstretched, and two below them, with a three-toed paw extending from the wrist joint. Running down the tail of the entity are a series of rigid fin-like structures, present in sets of 4. SCP-XXXX-α sports six horns around the base of its skull. These horns, along with the dorsum and tail of the entity, are covered in large, circular growths that luminesce waves of color down the length of the entity, similar to the behavior observed in hunting cuttlefish. SCP-XXXX-α is able to produce glowing powder from these growths, which will violently combust apparently at the will of SCP-XXXX-α. Within the entity’s mouth lies a tubular organ, from which several tentacles sprout. This organ is capable of firing an unknown substance with pinpoint accuracy. Exact measurements of the entity are unknown, but based on observation by those present during the event detailed in Addendum SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-α measures approximately 50 meters in length.

SCP-XXXX-α is capable of communication with humans, although not capable of speaking any language known to the foundation. Instead, it emits noises similar to those produced by a large bell, as well as ultrasonic vibrations, and those within range of these emissions somehow derive meaning from them. This effect carries through on audio recordings of noises SCP-XXXX-α produces, and are understood to carry the same meaning by all individuals hearing them.

SCP-XXXX-α has only been encountered once by the foundation, an event recorded in Addendum SCP-XXXX-1, during which it placed SCP-XXXX-A-1 through SCP-XXXX-A-12 into foundation custody.

SCP-XXXX-A are a group of twelve bipedal organisms with powerful arms, knife-like ears and a thin coat of hair-like filaments over much of their bodies. Their general body shape is similar to that of a non-avian dinosaur, specifically a theropod, though the morphology does not match any species currently known from the fossil record. Each instance has a different pattern of dark markings on its head and underside, assumed to help instances distinguish one another. Instances of SCP-XXXX-A communicate with one another utilizing vocalizations including barks, yelps, growls, roars, and squeaks, oftentimes producing these noises while participating in behavior that resembles conversation. Efforts to translate SCP-XXXX-A’s vocalizations have thus far been unsuccessful.

SCP-XXXX-A appear not to originate from Earth, apparent from differences in how their genetic code is organized, although many of their physical characteristics resemble those of organisms from Earth. Further testing is needed.

SCP-XXXX-A-1 measures 1.981 meters tall at the shoulder and 15.85 meters long, weighing 2177.24 kilograms. Above its eyes are two rectangular crests, with another, semicircular crest protruding above the nostrils. Sprouting at random from the dorsal side of its neck and torso, as well as all over the tail are rough, hard structures, resembling osteoderms. These structures have been revealed through chemical analysis not to be made of bone, but some other organic compound.

SCP-XXXX-A-2 is marginally larger than SCP-XXXX-A-1. The crests on its head are comparatively reduced. Instead of the rigid dermal protrusions present in SCP-XXXX-A-1, SCP-XXXX-A-2 possesses long, flexible quills, not unlike those of a porcupine, albeit not designed to cause injury, lacking barbs or ability to readily detach. Both SCP-XXXX-A-1 and SCP-XXXX-A-2 generally ignore the activity of personnel within the enclosure, as long as they perceive no threat to themselves or other instances of SCP-XXXX-A.

SCP-XXXX-A-3 through SCP-XXXX-A-12 are all significantly smaller than SCP-XXXX-A-1 and SCP-XXXX-A-2, the largest not quite half the height of the aforementioned entities. SCP-XXXX-A-3 through SCP-XXXX-A-12 have expressed overt curiosity towards personnel, touching personnel, vocalizing at them and even imitating words spoken.

SCP-XXXX-A-3 through SCP-XXXX-A-12 appear to have gained some understanding of the meaning of some words, prompting the launch of a program to train instances of SCP-XXXX-A to respond to human commands. Steady progress has been made with SCP-XXXX-A-3 through SCP-XXXX-A-12, but SCP-XXXX-A-1 and SCP-XXXX-A-2 have demonstrated no indication of willingness to be trained, preferring to observe the activity warily, making no effort to participate.

Addendum SCP-XXXX-1: On August 4th, 2002, 4:08 AM ███, Site 11 radar systems detected a large, unknown entity moving towards the site, and instructions were issued across the site for all personnel to move to the nearest secure location. A security team was instructed to prepare for a potential security breach. The entity, SCP-XXXX-α, arrived onto the site before the team could be deployed. Cameras on-site captured junior researcher Citrulli, caught outside during the event, fleeing towards the Botanical Anomaly Center when SCP-XXXX-α landed on top the building. Despite the assumedly massive weight of SCP-XXXX-α, no structural damage to the building occurred. Citrulli froze in place. SCP-XXXX-α began vocalizing, resulting in the following:

Citrulli: (Quietly) Oh what the fuck.

SCP-XXXX-α: Hello.
(Citrulli does not respond. SCP-XXXX-α leans towards the junior researcher.)
SCP-XXXX-α: Hello. (A pause.) Speak to me.
Citrulli: W-what do you want from me?
SCP-XXXX-α: Firstly, to congratulate you. And the rest of your kind. I had lost hope for these grounds. But you and your kind have done well. I do not understand your desire to keep your accomplishments secret. They are achievements worthy of great pride.
Citrulli: (Visibly and audibly shaken) Ok?
SCP-XXXX-α: The things you keep here. I expected them to consume you. Destroy you utterly. But they did no such thing. Again and again, they are foiled. Even upon their success, some among your ranks have found ways to reverse the damage.
Citrulli: (Enraged) You made them? You created these fucking monsters? Thanks a lot, you glittery fuck.
SCP-XXXX-α: They are not mine. My siblings made them. Many of my them, too many, create only to destroy. They create things designed only to unmake the work of others. I find satisfaction in creation so that my creations may themselves create and change in ways I had not imagined. I had given up long ago attempting to hide my creations from my siblings, for they always came, eager to obliterate my work. I stopped trying to protect my creations from them. Once they arrived to spoil my fun, I would move on, hoping their warring with each other would buy me time to enjoy my next project. So when the first of their creations arrived here, I gave up and left. I was astonished to find you had survived, and all by yourselves. Observing how you had dealt with my siblings’ attempts to destroy you was fascinating.
(At this point, the security team arrived on the scene. Miniature Reality Drill Anchors were fired at SCP-XXXX-α. The anchors appeared to have no effect other than to pique the entity’s curiosity. It picked up one that had landed nearby with its talons and began to inspect it while it began to speak to the security team.)
SCP-XXXX-α: Now this is interesting. What does it-
(SCP-XXXX-α was interrupted when the team opened fire with heavy weaponry, none of which appeared to do any damage to the entity. SCP-XXXX-α observed for a few seconds.)
SCP-XXXX-α: That will not work, stop that. (Weapon fire was sustained. SCP-XXXX-α emitted a powder from the growths on its body, which combusted in a wide array of bright colors) Stop it.
(SCP-XXXX-α then fired a series of black, gelatinous projectiles from the organ in its mouth that blocked the barrels of the weapons on contact. The security team retreated, and SCP-XXXX-α retrieved the weapons with its talons. Citrulli also attempted to escape, but the entity blocked his path and nudged him towards the Botanical Anomaly Center before it climbed back onto the roof of the building)

SCP-XXXX-α: Are you afraid of me?
Citrulli: Well of course I am. Look at you. You’re a big fuck-off dragon with glowing explode-y shit on you that just started conversation like this is some shit I’m supposed to see every day. And it kind of is. ‘Cept usually, I’ve got the peace of mind of a thick pane of glass between me and the big fuck > off dragon with glowing explode-y shit.
SCP-XXXX-α: I understand. Saddening. (Several moments of silence) I suppose I will give you what I came here to give.
(SCP-XXXX-α took flight and sped upwards and out of sight, still carrying the Reality Anchor and weapons. Citrulli fainted immediately afterwards. No activity for 32 minutes. Citrulli regained consciousness and sprinted into the Botanical Anomaly Building. SCP-XXXX-α returned another 20 minutes later, carrying 12 black ovular objects with irregularly shaped exteriors in its claws, wings, and tail. It deposited the objects onto the ground. The entity sat down near the objects for 2 hours before abruptly disappearing into the sky again.
Closing Statement: Each of the black objects was later discovered to contain an instance of SCP-XXXX-A curled up inside. The entities appeared to be dead, but when removed from the capsule for 5 minutes, they became active. The chemical makeup of the capsule was made of a strong polymer that has not yet been replicated by the foundation.
