Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held at Site 46 in a 5x6x10 meter box constructed of pure titanium plating. The containment unit is to be located at least 3 km underground, accessible by a single elevator, with a standard observation room located at least 200 meters away.

All access to and direct observation of SCP-XXXX is strictly forbidden.

SCP-XXXX-1 instances are to be contained in standard Foundation Mental Rehabilitation Chambers until progression to SCP-XXXX-2. All SCP-XXXX-2 instances are to be incinerated without delay.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a sentient, sapient mass of purple tentacles arranged into a roughly humanoid shape measuring approximately 8 meters tall, and weighing an estimated 145 kg. It's 'head' consists of a single flat, featureless tentacle attached to the top of the central mass, and it possesses two 'legs' consisting of bundles of three tentacles each, used for locomotion, and two 'arms', consisting of bundles of six tentacles, used for fine manipulation and utilizing its abilities.

Based on unmanned MRI scans, SCP-XXXX possesses a single, large brain within its central mass, approximately ██ times larger than a normal human brain, but otherwise similar in appearance and composition.

SCP-XXXX possesses extremely powerful mental abilities, including, but not limited to, telepathy, telekinesis, minor reality bending and levitation. These abilities are generated by its brain and released via its tentacles. Prior to containment, it was observed leveling a city block in ██████, █████████, in less than █ seconds of sustained usage of its powers.

While SCP-XXXX is extremely hostil, appears to be in a constant state of extreme pain and agitation, and invariable attacks anyone who comes near. The only successful sample of SCP-XXXX's flesh was taken while it was being actively suppressed by █ trained reality benders released from containment specifically for the purpose, who all subsequently became SCP-XXXX-1 instances and perished.

When a human comes within 40 meters of SCP-XXXX, they automatically become SCP-XXXX-1 instances. SCP-XXXX-1 display mental abilities similar to SCP-XXXX, albeit much weaker, and are subject to the associated degenerative qualities, which manifest in three stages:

  • Stage One: Immediately after exposure to SCP-XXXX. Subject's newfound mental abilities allow it to inadvertently come in direct mental contact with SCP-XXXX central brain. In 98% of cases, this leads to the subject going insane, attempting to come in physical contact with SCP-XXXX and commiting suicide within 5 minutes. Regardless of if the subject achieved physical contact, SCP-XXXX will subsequently gather up the subject's cadaver and absorb it into its mass via an unknown process.
  • Stage Two: In the event that someone manages to escape the effects of Stage One, they immediately progress to Stage Two. In Stage Two, the subject retains the mental abilities and quickly learns to fully control them. Subjects have reported a compulsion to use their abilities whenever possible, which seems to feed towards the advancement to Stage Three.
  • Stage Three: Stage Three occurs as little as two weeks after Stage Two, but can be delayed, potentially forever, via the subject refraining from using its abilities. Upon entering Stage Three, the subject's mental condition will begin to rapidly deteriorate, and their body will begin to physically change into SCP-XXXX tentacles via an unknown process. Subject will attempt to reunite with SCP-XXXX and, if successful, will be absorbed into its mass, similar to Stage One. Subjects who fail to reunite with SCP-XXXX will eventually transform into a small cluster of 1-2 meter long tentacle, resembling a miniature version of SCP-XXXX. with the subjects original brain held intact within the tentacle. From this point on, they are designated SCP-XXXX-2 instances. During Stage Three, the SCP-XXXX-1 becomes 'contagious'. Any humans within 20 meters of the instance have an ██% chance of gaining mental powers and becoming a Stage Two SCP-XXXX-1 instance, as if they had been exposed to SCP-XXXX, without the associated risk of dying in Stage One.

SCP-XXXX-2 display significantly lowered intelligence than the original SCP-XXXX-1 instance, drastically weakened mental abilities and lowered locomotion, rendering them mostly helpless. DNA analysis of SCP-XXXX-2 show consistent matches to the original SCP-XXXX-1 instance.
