Item # SCP-8093

Item Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8093 is to be kept at a locked containment chamber in the Reliquary Storage Wing of Site-733. Said chamber is 35mx10m, with walls and floor coated with corrosion-inhibiting paint. It must also have a drainage ditch leading to the sea and an emergency electric pump system, to counter every active state. Maintenance must be made bi-monthly.

Description: SCP-8093 is a humanoid skeleton measuring 30m tall and 8,8m at the widest. It consists of 193 bones, most of which are enlarged versions of human bones. For a full osteology report, refer to Document 8093-A. The skeletal structure is mildly damaged, despite its recovery location, with most signs of wear caused by coral colonies. Of note, there are three exceptions: a hole 45cm in diameter in the temporal lobe of the skull, a crack in the 5th rib and a broken 3rd rib.

SCP-8093 was discovered 13 meters undersea, of the coast of Morocco, in the Bojador Cape area. Anomalous storm patterns lead to an investigation by the Foundation, using the SCPS Camila to scan the ocean floor and the prototype ███████ - ███ Submarine to recover SCP-8093.

SCP-8093 constantly secretes saltwater from its pores, at a rate of 4L/h. Despite microscopic examinations, it is still unclear whether the water is created within the bones or transported from another location. Every march 23rd, SCP-8093 will enter its active state: water secretion rate will increase to 40L/h, and loud, deep weeping will be faintly heard echoing from the bones. SCP-8093 will also cause a severe windstorm around a 100km radius around itself, with winds reaching up to 100km/h. Study of the means by which SCP-8093 creates this phenomenon is detailed in Document 8093-B, and research is led by Dr. Aragones, of the Atmospheric Anomalies Department.

Addendum 8093-1 ██/█/███: The remote location of Site-733, and the plentiful storms that form in the area, are enough to both hide and negate damage caused by SCP-8093's active state. Item reclassified to Safe.

Addendum 8093-2 ██/██/████: A joint research project between the Archeology and Biology Departments, led by Dr. Jorgensen, concluded that SCP-8093 is roughly 2500 years old, and died in the 16th century. The cause of death was determined to be massive trauma to the cranium and thoracic cage, both caused by cannon fire. It is hypothesized that SCP-8093 preyed upon ships sailing around the Bojador Cape, and one of these retaliated, killing SCP-8093.
Complimenting this hypothesis, more than 250 shipwrecks have been found around an area of 500km squared, most of which were little fishing ships, but some were Portuguese and Spanish caravels, equipped with cannons.

Research upon historical records of sightings of SCP-8093 yielded various results, compiled in Document 8093-C.
