Madza

Item: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Personnel are to keep away from SCP-XXXX’s territory, personnel must stand outside a circle of a diameter of 3 kilometers starting from SCP-XXXX's den, personnel are to shoot whomever breaks this rule. Every 9 years ten Class D personnel, both male and female in equal proportion, are to be dropped inside SCP-XXXX's territory to prevent it from undergoing a search for future vessels. Said individuals are to be terminated if attempts to escape are made. In the case SCP-XXXX attempts to escape personnel are to surround the creature with a non-ending recording of thunder until SCP-XXXX stops moving, then personnel are to put SCP-XXXX back into its den. If a living organism enters its territory personnel are to leave them to SCP-XXXX, in case a non-authorized remotely-controlled or autonomous device enters armed personnel are to destroy it on sight. No attempt to move SCP-XXXX away from its territory is to be made.

Description: SCP-XXXX's main body is that of an empty shell of chitin of a giant centipede with a hole on each end, 10 meters in length, 1 meter and a half in width and standing 2 meters tall from the base of its legs to the top of the chitin shell. SCP-XXXX resides inside a well in a deserted mountain village named ████████ in France. When in this form SCP-XXXX will be unable to move and will secrete alluring spores that will force any Human being that comes in contact with it to head towards the shell. Other beings such as plants, bugs, reptiles, birds and other mammals seems to be unaffected. If only 1 human being or 2 human beings of the same gender get to the husk, they will start to decay whilst still alive, dying after reaching an advanced state of decomposition in a matter of hours ranging from 2 hours to 5 hours. In the event that two human beings of the opposite gender find their way to SCP-XXXX main body they will crawl inside the holes and fuse with the husk. Dr.██████ has said that SCP-XXXX posses an invasive symbiotic chimerization. After having undergone this transformation SCP-XXXX will have the ability to move and speak fluently in a large amount of human language such as French (both modern and ancient), English, German, Italian, Latin, Greek and Russian to list a few. Leading Dr.██████ to believe it retains the knowledge of all of its previous hosts.

After the chimerization SCP-XXXX will start to wander in a perimeter of 3 kilometers around his den, and attempting to kill any life, including vegetal lifeforms it comes across, if met with resistance it will run back to its den, if it succeed it has been observed to take the corpse back to its nest. The Foundation still has no idea what SCP-XXXX does with the corpses as they disappear after entering the well. SCP-XXXX has never been observed to nourish itself, however Dr.██████ has advanced the theory that SCP-XXXX sustain itself with the life of its hosts. As they have been observed to age rapidly. After 10 years the bodies will fall off SCP-XXXX's husk and decay at a rapid pace, leaving only the bones after 3 to 4 hours, a process Dr.██████ called a forceful symbiotic rupture. After the 9th year of having its current hosts SCP-XXXX will start to look for future hosts in the vicinity of its nest, never leaving a 3 kilometers perimeter. If SCP-XXXX fail to find a new host before the 10th year end it will return to its den to proceed with the rupture and return to its original form of a centipede husk and start to produce spores again, the spores' radius of influence will keep increasing until SCP-XXXX has found new hosts. ████████ being a popular rest area for hikers SCP-XXXX had no trouble finding host pre-containments, the spore's radius of influence never reaching nearby villages.

SCP-XXXX has been observed to fear thunder, fleeing back to it nest as soon as it is heard. If lightning strikes its territory SCP-XXXX will demonstrate a similar behavior of returning back to its nest, it will also display a heightened level of aggressivity, cursing and making obscene gesture to the sky from the bottom of the well, if returning to the well is impossible SCP-XXXX will stop moving and enter a catatonic state. It is unknown whom SCP-XXXX is talking to. It has also shown to fear the scent of lemon though the reason why is still unknown, it refers to lemon as "The fruit of the Deceiver", The foundation is currently investing whom this Deceiver might be.

SCP-XXXX dislike engaging in direct conflict, using stealth to kill any intruders. Although its main body's leg have shown the strength to be able to pierce a 30 centimeters thick piece of wood, SCP-XXXX's hosts' durability or strength do not seem to change from before the Assimilation, their bodies have been observed to be bruised, scarred, burned on multiple occasion.

SCP-XXXX do not seem to have any other goal than to rid his territory of life, entering a depressed state if it has not killed any sentient being at least once during its current merging. SCP-XXXX do not seem to be entertained by the killing, going as far as to say that "It only keeps my mind busy.". Dr.██████ concluded that SCP-XXXX does not have a hatred for life but profoundly disregards it. So far SCP-XXXX has not shown any attempts to escape, even if it sees a living being outside its territory while in its depressive state.

Containing SCP-XXXX outside of its territory has been forbidden after all previous attempts facing the same condition. After remotely-controlled android caged SCP-XXXX and took him away from its territory an unnatural increase of electrical storm in SCP-XXXX territory causing the area to suffer from wildfire on a daily basis due to the repeated lightning strike. Despite this a rapid growth of Citrus limon have been observed, it is unknown how or why they were able to grow and breed so quickly, covering SCP-XXXX’s territory in its entirety in five days, it begun to grow around the border of SCP-XXXX’s territory and advancing towards the center of its territory, the well. During that time SCP-XXXX’s husk has shown to violently shake the more the Citrus limon got close to its well, breaking its 3 centimeters thick air-sealed steel cage its husk was contained in once the Citrus limon grew in a ten meters radius of the well. The husk then proceeded to run back to its territory at a velocity exceeding the 100km/h and collapsing as soon as it entered a 3 kilometer radius from the well. The Electrical storm stopped after a few minutes and the spores released by SCP-XXXX have been shown to dissolve the Citrus limon. This phenomenon has been called SCP-XXXX-1

After each SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX has been granted an emergency chimerization by the Foundation. SCP-XXXX did not undergo a chimerization until all Citrus limon had been fully elliminated. After chimerization SCP-XXXX has been observed to talk to itself each night for a duration of seven days.

The following are reports of the conversation SCP-XXXX had with himself after SCP-XXXX

7:00 pm

They've come, he came. They haven't found it.

7:05

They'll never have it, I won't allow it.

7:11

They should leave me alone.

7:17

They should let me rest, I'm tired.

7:25

Why are those humans even here ? Those poor, puny creature, they don't even what is happening.

7:31

I want to go back home, they won't let me leave, they bring me back everytime.

7:34

I did not deserve this, why ? Why ?

SCP-XXXX would then go back to the well and begin to sing a poem in Latin. The poem is composed of three verses translated as following :

Crawling in the night
Each day, spewing his blight
Then he came to me

Helding out his hand
Followed by his band
He offered the fruit

I was chassed out
And they began to sprout
The dreaded lemon trees.

The poem is thought to be speaking of the Deceiver SCP-XXXX was talking about and itself. Researches have not found any written version of this poem and SCP-XXXX has claimed to be the one who created it. After singing it SCP-XXXX would fall asleep and wake up after three days.

D class personnel have been able to communicate with SCP-XXXX by standing at the edge of SCP-XXXX's territory, SCP-XXXX refusing to communicate if the D class was outside of its territory and killing it if it was inside.

The following is the report of the first interview of SCP-XXXX

SCP-XXXX, why do you kill ? Is it because you hate all life other than your own ?

It only keeps my mind busy.
Why do you need to keep your mind busy ?
None of your regards.
Alright then, next question. What is the origin of your fear of thunder and lightning ?
Only fools would be unafraid of the wrath of heaven.
But you also seem to bear hatred towards it, if you're so afraid, how can you be so provocative towards it ?
Because I want those ███████ to suffer. I want them to be torn to shred, to cry as they fall from their grace … this is all those haughty ████ deserve.
Whom do you refer to ? Are they known to the Foundation ?
Those who stands above us, they watch as all of this unfold.
Next question, Why you you never leave your territory ?
They would come to take it, my treasure.
What treasure ?
None of your concern you ██████ bipedal ██████, go █████ yourself !
Okay, next. What do you think of the SCP Foundation ?
Useless, utterly useless. You puny Humans are only trying to delay the unavoidable.
What are you talking about ?
You'll see in time, you and your pathetic little race, you'll learn that you should never have forgotten us.
Who is us ?
You'll see I said !!
I see, final question. Why do you fear the scent of lemon, has it something to do with those who stand above us that you previously mentioned ?
The fruit of the Deceiver, he came, he'll come again to steal my treasure, with his stench, the one of the golden fruit. He'll be back to steal from me again.

During the interview SCP-XXXX has demonstrated a paranoid behavior and made reference to several unknown entities as well as mentioning his treasure, scans of SCP-XXXX territory and den did not find anything except for a pile of skeletons in SCP-XXXX's well, it was concluded that they belong to SCP-XXXX's previous hosts.

No other attempts to communicate with SCP-XXXX has been successful as it refuses to speak unless the Foundation can prove that the Deceiver has been killed.

SCP-XXXX has been classified as an Euclid class SCP until breaching attempts are made, hosts are to be provided every 9 years by the Foundation to prevent guarding personnel to be affected by the spores. The Foundation is to keep investigating SCP-XXXX's background and ties within local legends.
