The Sands of an Novice Jesuit
Containment Class:
euclid
Due to the correlation and Interaction that both of these Anomalous Phenomena -in a Range of Eighty (80) to One-Hundred (100) Years- have undergone unknowingly to the foundation eyes until the Year XXXX on the Chilean Island and Approximations of the Pacific Ocean. It is been advised to Late and Further researchers to consider both the Entity and the place of appearance as a Sole SCP.
Because of this, Foundation Personnel are requested to Follow the Usual Administrative Controls along the newly input recommended Personal Protective Equipment such as: Work Boots, Eye/Face Shield, and Safety Hard Hat in Future Physical observations and Further Experiments in order to Mitigate Risks and Injuries.
≃ Special Containment Procedures
[Paragraphs explaining the procedures]
≃ Description
SCP-XXXX Is an "Sand Humanoid" Entity Measuring an observable amount of 1.77~ meters height, bearing a strong resemblance of a Typical depiction of an Spanish conquistador which Lacks two human facial components, Being these a Mouth and Recognizable eyes. meanwhile others facial components such as a "Nose" and a "Bushy Beard" can be Easily recognized and associated.
As mentioned beforehand, the entity appearance is of a Tall Male Conquistador Foot Soldier which "wears" a Typical Spanish-Style Armor whose Recognizable Parts consist on; Breastplate, arms, leg greaves and a metal overlapping plates skirt, along a Morion-style Helmet.
Depiction of SCP-XXXX, Made by an anonymous Artist, circa 1790. recovered from The X Y Museum, Spain.
It is to be noted that the Entity Entire body is Composed of a mixture of seemingly fine Black sands which has been observed to be Intermittent between The Solid and Watery State of matter, Meanwhile the entity's entire body has been observed to also contain Small Shiny minerals and tiny fragments of Shiny Minerals that flow through and out of the Insides of the Body, Arms, Head and legs of the Entity, these Minerals are often seen flowing in response to the Movements Made by the entity in question.
In Addition to all of above, SCP-XXXX Has Showed the Capability of Manifesting a slender, sharply-pointed two-edged Bladed Sword onto it's hand as well. The Sword Appearance has been identified as an Rapier-Style sword who shares the same materials composition as SCP-XXXX's Body. Besides this, it also been observed that the entity in question can also Extract a Small "Coin Purse" coming from his lower back side, more accurately, the Gluteus Medius Area. This Object has been observed to be formed of the same Material Type as the Local Algae and Pacific Ocean Algae. More accurately due to his Bright red color,and in unusual cases, dim. The Rhodophyta Type.
It is currently unknown if this "Coin Purse" is of any relevant use to SCP-XXXX or if it's being carried or formed by SCP-XXXX.
≃ Activity, Area of Interest and Cycle
SCP-XXXX Area of interest, Designed Zone-A.
SCP-XXXX's Main Point of Apparition and Subsequent Activities Occurs Yearly during the month of August on the South-West Beach-portion of the small Chilean island Known as -Colloquially and formally- Mocha Island, Located west of the coast of the Arauco Province (Bío Bío, VIII Region) in the Country of Chile of the South-American Continent.
SCP-XXXX Manifestation -As mentioned before- occur once a year in the Month of August, randomly selecting a set of 4 random Days of a Single week of the given month. These selections -and subsequent SCP-XXXX Manifestation- have been documented to happen only in relation to the Day's General Temperature, opting to appear only on Cold days with a general temperature of a Minimum 8º Celsius and a maximum of 13º Celsius. The State of the weather and Sea level doesn't seem to influence these selections, as far as recent observations, and as such, has been discarded until further research can make a direct correlation between these and the Selected days.
Once this criteria is met and SCP-XXXX apparition have occurred on the island's beach. SCP-XXXX Will manifest into the island and begin to make a Journey towards the island Forest. This "Journey" and Posterior activities that SCP-XXXX undergo have been documented after Reiterated observations, as part of SCP-XXXX Active Phase.
Active Phase, and Cycle.
| CYCLE |
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION |
Additional Notes |
| Phase Nº1 |
Beginning of the Cycle. SCP-XXXX Manifest onto the Island's Soil, Slowly shaping himself From bottom to top into a Praying Posture. lasting into this position for an approximation of twenty (20) to thirty (30) seconds before standing up and Observing the Beach area for another twenty (20) to thirty (30) seconds. |
If met with changes on the area. It will instead roam around the area from an approximation of Five (5) Minutes. |
| Phase Nº2 |
Once this "Observation" is done, SCP-XXXX will then proceed to make journey from the Island's Beach in direction to the Island's National Reserve via the nearest available road or trail, and in rare cases, via the Forest own unconventional paths. |
During this period, SCP-XXXX assumes a defensive posture while walking and watching carefully the environment. |
| Phase Nº3 |
Once SCP-XXXX reaches his destination, it will then proceed to collect Loose wood found in the environment in addition to several nearby rocks in order to commence a Medium-Size Bonfire. Followed by this, SCP-XXXX will then assume a sentry Posture, Time that a series of Turquoise Colored pebbles will begin to Manifest in front and around of him. These pebbles are Inspected by the entity for a short time before storing them into his "Coin Purse".
These interactions have been estimated to last between two (2) to two (2) hours with Eighteen (18) minutes. |
It is been noted that, on rare occasions. SCP-XXXX Instead of assuming a Sentry posture, it will simply sit down into a resting position, leaning on his sword while inspecting the before mentioned pebbles. |
| Phase Nº4 |
After the duration of Phase Nº3, The Turquoise Colored pebbles before mentioned will then cease to manifest in the area surrounding SCP-XXXX. at the same time, SCP-XXXX will leave his sentry posture and proceed to put out the Bonfire in order to walk towards the Beach Area using the previously road or trail taken by it. |
It is noteworthy that in this phase, Instead of assuming its previous travel behaviour besides it's defensive position, it will instead walk with one hand on its hip, leaning on his sword during the remaining duration of the travel. |
| Phase Nº5 |
Once SCP-XXXX Reaches once again the Beach area it first appeared on. It will stop momentarily in front of the landscape to once again observe it, this behaviors persists for a duration of 10 Minutes before making any further movement.
Once this time is up, it will proceed to walk towards the Sea, Point where SCP-XXXX will begin to gradually dissolve alongside the upcoming Sea waves, until completely disappearing from sight. |
During the Observation period, SCP-XXXX has been noted to make a series of gestures, such as; "Stretching", Showing off it's rapier skills for seemingly it's own amusement, Raising it's hand in front of it's "face" to seemingly block the sun's light, Unknown gestures related to it's breastplate and fixing it's "boots". |
Note from the Head Researcher:
Behavior and interactions observed by the research team that are related to our Experimentations and Landscape modifications have not been included in this cycle. For reasons that you may already infered.
Head Researcher X Y
≃ "Initial discovery" and Recorded Recovery
The First Activities and Interactions Suspected and Considered to be of SCP-XXXX's work in this location as an Active Entity, have been described and formally documented to have taken place since the 19th (nineteenth) century onto our present day,
≃ Experimentation, Testing Logs
Testing Log Foreword
Due to the reiterated behavior and interactions that SCP-XXXX has made with it's environment in the last couple of decades in a Annual routine taking place on a set of four (4) random days of a week. and to an extend, being considered as an Ancient urban legend of sorts by the local and nearby continental populations. It has been considered that SCP-XXXX is not only a sentient entity, but a entity with limited or complete Sentience.
In order to understand this hypothesis, a couple of experiments has been Proposed to explore the extends of it's thought-to-be sapient state and interactions with live subjects.
The records have been Annexed in the following document.

Additional Notes |
| XX/XX |
D-7948 |
D-7948 was supplied with a Combat Knife in addition to a Light stab proof vest (Included with a neck protection) and is instructed to approach SCP-XXXX. |
D-7948 Attempted to flee the testing area before being exposed to SCP-XXXX, Subject terminated by in-situ guard. |
We're on a island. To where was he attempting to flee? to the forest? We'll replicate the same test tomorrow. ~Researcher Cortéz |
| XX/XX |
D-7958 |
D-7958 was supplied with a stab-proof vest and Protection boots. D-7958 is Instructed to throw rocks at the entity. |
SCP-XXXX took note of Subject's presence and stood in place, observing him. Subject proceeded to throw a series of rocks at him, missing four (4) and hitting twelve (12) of them. SCP-XXXX Didn't react to this interaction and stood in place recibing these hits, which simply passed through it. Subject is signaled to leave the area. |
That was… interesting, i guess. ~Researcher Goméz |
| XX/XX |
2 Standard Drones |
N/A |
Both drones were driven in close proximity to SCP-XXXX to study it's Phases Nº 2-3-4. During the trajectory of Phase Nº2, SCP-XXXX Started to get visibly agitated by the Drone Sounds. Responding to this by throwing it's "Sword" and what is believed to be either a Rock or a pommel of it's own composition towards the drones, completely destroying both drones. |
This wasn't an intended Test, i guess he ended the drones rightly. sad for them. |

D-7932 |
D-7932 is instructed to approach SCP-XXXX and sit in front of it during Phase Nº1 |
D-7932 slowly approaches the entity while he's visibly intimidated by it and proceeds to sit in front of it. during the initial process, SCP-XXXX Doesn't react to him until D-Class sits, at which point the entity stares at the subject for a brief moment before extending it's arm towards him. Subject responds by quickly raising up and getting away from it, from which the entity only stares momentarily, before heading towards a nearby trail. Initiating Phase Nº2 |
N/A |
| XX/XX |
D-7943 |
D-7943 is instructed to approach SCP-XXXX during it's Phase Nº1 to attempt to establish vocal communication with the entity. |
D-7943 Approaches SCP-XXXX. Same behavior from Test Nº1 ensues until D-7943 vocally communicate with it, from which point SCP-XXXX is observed to apparently Listen carefully to her, while leaning on it's rapier. No Further movements are made by the entity during the whole interaction until D-7943 retires from the Area. Moment that SCP-XXXX continues with it's Travel. |
From our perspective, we could see that it showed some interest into our Subject, now. The tricky part is to decipher if this "Interaction" actually meant something, or if it was only looking at her instead of understanding what she was saying. ~Researcher Cortéz |
| XX/XX |
D-7951 |
Replica of Test NºX, Additional debrief is given. |
D-7951 slowly approaches SCP-XXXX. The entity takes note of the subject's presence and it's equipment, Instantly assuming a Guard Stance while tracking D-7951's Movements. Subject attempts to attack SCP-XXXX, Who in retaliation Dodges Subject's attack proceeding to grab him tightly by the wrist at the same that it disarms and throws him into the ground swiftly, Holding him in place by putting it's "Rapier" onto his chest. No movements between the entity and subject is recorded for a duration of 1 minute, time that SCP-XXXX Let's D-7951 go while kicking the Subject's knife out of his reach. Foundation Staff Indicates D-7951 to leave the area. Time that the entity resumes his travel onto Phase Nº2. |
After this test, The Sapient designation was given to SCP-XXXX in addition to it's Sentient Designation. |
| XX/XX |
D-8275 |
D-8275 was supplied with a Italian-Style Rapier Sword in addition to a Low-standard "Protection Armor" and instructed to Attack SCP-XXXX. |
D-8275 approaches SCP-XXXX and Starts making gestures with his sword at it, Seemingly mocking it. Resulting in SCP-XXXX Assuming a Guard Stance while slowly closing distance towards him. A Couple of Sword parries and smalls cuts are exchanged between the two of them for a brief time before D-8275 over-extends a Sword thrust, exposing himself. To which SCP-XXXX retaliates in Inquartata Attack as it Dodges the thrust, piercing D-8275 through his Chest and violently falling to the ground, slowly bleeding before expiring. After the Subject's expiration, SCP-XXXX can be seen "cleaning" it's rapier before returning to his original routine. |
This shines the Entity's Ability as a tactician and a Fine Swordsman, Since D-8275 wasn't just a simple convict that happened to be requested here, he was a inmate sentenced to death due to his Cold blooded Murders related to swords… ~Researcher Goméz |
| XX/XX |
D-7983 |
D-7983 was Supplied with a Standard recording equipment in order to record SCP-XXXX in close proximity during it's Phases Nº2, 3 and 4. |
SCP-XXXX Didn't show any type of hostility towards D-7983 during the traject of Phase Nº2. Changing completely once it commenced it's Phase Nº3, in which point it started to show great hostility towards the subject. Subject is indicated to retire from the area. |
We Need to Learn More About Phase 3, I will retake the same experiment when the occasion arises. -Researcher XXXXX |
| XX/XX |
D-7983 |
Replica of the previous experiment, Additional Instruction to not leave the area is given. |
