Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Mobile Task Force Bet-5 (“Hurt Reality Terrorizers”) have been assigned to the identification and containment of new SCP-XXXX instances. MTF Bet-5 is to be composed primarily of licensed therapists and persons with histories of acute body dysphoria, and are not to use physical force in the field unless directed to by Commander Pan. Newly manifested instances are to be neutralized via portable Scranton Reality Anchors and transported to Site-73 via airlift. Instances kept at Site-73 will be stored in standard Warning-class humanoid containment chambers. Said chambers are only to be accessed for testing purposes. In-person testing is to be conducted exclusively with D-class personnel.
Foundation web crawlers are to monitor and flag any persons likely to manifest new SCP-XXXX instances based on behavioral patterns. Said flagged persons are to be intercepted by assets embedded in the civilian population and directed to counseling services and clinics that have passed clandestine investigation procedures. Any civilian who manifests an SCP-XXXX instance is to be separated from said instance as soon as possible. Civilians who come into contact with SCP-XXXX instances are to be dosed with Class B amnestics and given appropriate medical and mental health treatment. Civilian deaths as a result of SCP-XXXX manifestations are to be assigned Standard Cover Story 85 (“Ixtab”).
Description: SCP-XXXX are a collection of entities that manifest from the psyches of people suffering from binge-eating disorder, waif syndrome, gender dysphoria, and other forms of acute body dysphoria, henceforth referred to as “subjects”. Subjects are almost always suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and are usually near-suicidal at the time of manifestation. It should be noted that no identified subjects have had any history with the anomalous, and manifestations seem to occur randomly among persons who meet SCP-XXXX's criteria.
SCP-XXXX instances manifest by growing out of their subject's backs while they sleep. Despite the intense amount of physical damage caused by this manifestation, subjects never show any sign of physical pain, and heal completely within ten minutes of the manifestation's completion.
All SCP-XXXX instances have wildly varying, obviously inhuman appearances, but are able to appear as normal humans as a result of a cognitive camouflage that effects both eyesight and video recordings. The only people capable of seeing through this camouflage are those with histories of body dysphoria similar to those of the subjects.
All non-immune observers to SCP-XXXX will invariably describe them as highly attractive and charismatic individuals. After manifesting, SCP-XXXX will quickly ingratiate itself into the life of its subject, posing as their therapist, coach, teacher, personal friend, or even a member of their immediate family. SCP-XXXX will then begin to encourage its subject to pursue dramatic lifestyle changes in order to achieve a bodily condition counter to the subject's negative perception of themself. As time goes on, SCP-XXXX will grow hostile in its treatment of the subject, verbally abusing and even physically attacking the subject when they fail to meet its increasingly absurd demands of them. Friends and family of the subject who attempt to stop SCP-XXXX's abusive behavior will either be socially isolated from the subject by the anomaly, or met with force. Unchecked SCP-XXXX activity will invariably lead to subject's death, upon which SCP-XXXX will de-manifest, leaving no physical trace of its presence.
SCP-XXXX will grow weaker and more agitated given extended physical separation from its subject, and will grow more lethargic as the subject's mental health improves. To date, no SCP-XXXX instance has naturally de-manifested in containment due to the recovery of its subject; the only thing that triggers de-manifestation is the subject's death.
Addendum 1: Abridged list of known SCP-XXXX instances
| Item number | Description | Status | Notes |
| SCP-XXXX-1 | 3 meter tall humanoid with abnormally large musculature and zero visible body fat. Limbs are almost thrice as wide as waist. Head embedded within a mass of pectoral muscle. Penis is approximately one meter long, poorly concealed by gym shorts. Left hand has been replaced by an iron kettle bell crudely grafted to its arm. | Deceased | First known SCP-XXXX manifestation, reported by multiple camo-immune witnesses at a gym near the subject's residence. Foundation personnel were unable to identify the instance until a camo-immune junior researcher saw video footage of the anomaly, by which point the subject had already died due to a steroid overdose. |
| SCP-XXXX-2 | Spherical mass of sweatshirts and denim jeans, approximately two meters in diameter. No physical form is identifiable beneath the close. | Contained | First successful containment of an SCP-XXXX instance, largely considered a fluke. Instance had no way of physically combating field operatives. Subject had not left their room in three days. |
| SCP-XXXX-3 | 2.5 meter tall humanoid with no facial features. Engorged limb musculature. Mass of scar tissue covering entire chest. Synthetic penis drilled into groin. | Deceased | Armed field operatives caught subject attempting to mutilate himself with a kitchen knife. Subject was intimidated and fearful of the field operatives and attacked them, prompting a lethal response. Operatives involved were discharged. Containment procedures updated to reflect the potentially poor mental state of subjects. |
| SCP-XXXX-7 | A single human femur, constantly levitating one meter off of the ground via unknown means. | Contained | N/A |
| SCP-XXXX-12 | 2.8 meter tall humanoid. Constantly dressed in a bright pink dress. Hands are approximately 30 centimeters in length, with sharp cat-like claws instead of finger nails. Entire face taken up by a single mouth lined with multiple layers of pointed teeth. Vomits approximately every 30 minutes. | Contained | Interval between vomits has increased over time, potentially due to subject withdrawal. |
| SCP-XXXX-18 | 3.2 meter tall humanoid. Only facial features are a smaller, upper mouth and a lower, larger mouth, both lined with serrated teeth, always grinning. Massively swolen breasts that constantly lactate. Emaciated bat-like arms and legs. Right hand replaced with an overlarge surgical scalpel. Everpresent wound in groin constantly bleeds. | Contained | Most recently contained SCP-XXXX instance. |
Addendum 2: Interview with SCP-XXXX-18
Interview was conducted remotely by Senior researcher Natalia Jonson, selected for her ability to view SCP-XXXX-18's true form. Jonson was situated in an observation room adjacent to SCP-XXXX-18's cell.
Begin Transcript
SCP-XXXX-18 is sitting cross-legged in the corner of its cell.
Jonson: Good morning, XXXX-18
XXXX-18: How many times have I got to tell you bastards, it's Miasma. I didn't pick that name out just to have you pigs go giving me a string of numbers.
Jonson: Apologies… Miasma. The numerical classification is part of our protocol. I'm conducting this interview to gauge your mental state.
XXXX-18: Well it's pretty fucking poor, seeing as I've been locked up in Area goddamn 51 by a band of armed goons. What the hell am I doing here? I'm normal!
Jonson: Normal?
XXXX-18: Look, I've talked to some of those poor fuckers you've sent in here to talk to me, the ones who didn't try to punch me to death, at least. I know this is some kind of hobgoblin bullshit factory given what they've told me. Invincible dinosaurs, dream kingdoms, flaming skeletons? I've got nothing to do with any of that! I'm not a wizard or a zombie or anything, I'm a normal human woman!
There is a three second pause.
Jonson: Miasma, have you looked in a mirror recently?
XXXX-18 turns its face towards the one-way mirror between its cell and the observation room.
XXXX-18: Oooooh, that's what it is then. Just because I've done my best to reach out into my true self, you fucking fascists come along and drag me off to the pen. Y'know, that's real rich coming from you.
Jonson: I beg your pardon?
XXXX-18: It was the dagger, wasn't it? That special dagger that just swaps your physical sex like magic. Y'know, our people could've used something like that. I know it would've saved me a mountain of effort.
Jonson: Listen, Miasma, this isn't about your gender. You're a ten-foot tall two-mouthed bat woman.
XXXX-18: Excuse me? Would you talk about your mother that way? I worked for this body, okay? You need teeth like this to pass; you need tits like these to pass; you need a nice, warm pussy like this to pass. Cis society will fucking eat you alive if you don't put the work in, but I guess you lot don't have to.
Jonson: Listen, Miasma, that's an inherently self-defeating philosophy. The woman who manifested you-
XXXX-18: I was helping her, goddammit! Her so-called friends were going on about how she didn't need reassignment surgery or HRT to count as a woman, but she would never have been accepted by society at large if she didn't go the distance; she wouldn't have been a proper woman, not like me. Not like us.
Jonson: That woman is still recovering from what you did to her. You mutilated her! Being a “real” woman doesn't mean anything, especially if you're endangering yourself to do it, and even if it did mean anything, you're not even a real human! You're just a malignant manifestation of your victim's self-loathing. A poltergeist. That's why you're in that cell.
There is a 7 second period of silence.
SCP-XXXX-18 leaps from its corner of the cell and begins attacking the two-way mirror leading to the observation room. Jonson and her retinue evacuate the observation room as Site security activate the Scranton Reality Anchors in SCP-XXXX-18's cell. SCP-XXXX-18 continues to attempt to shatter the two-way mirror for seven minutes before collapsing due to exhaustion.

Notes: The entity is clearly delusional, operating under a thought process heavily informed by the self-flagellating and impossible aspirations of its former victim. I suspect similar thought patterns will be exhibited across a majority of SCP-XXXX instances.
Another thing of mention is that the entity somehow knew of both the existence of SCP-113, and my personal use of it, despite no mention of it being made to her by any Foundation staff. I hypothesize that the entity possesses some form of spontaneous post-cognition, most likely triggered by encounters with psychologies it finds compatible. We'll need to conduct further tests of this ability on the other instances, and consider how it might negatively effect containment.
