Item number: SCP-47XX

Object class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-47XX is to be contained in a large, octagonal containment cell, with a diameter of no more than 10 feet, and a height of no less than 50 feet. SCP-47XX is to be placed in the center of this room, on a restrainment table, with special restraints added to the head area such that SCP-47XX cannot move it’s head in any way. This restrainment table is to be elevated such that SCP-47XX cannot see the floor or ceiling, and is to be rotating at all times, at a speed such that no wall “faces” towards SCP-47XX’s face for more than 5 seconds. It is paramount that no granular material, such as sand or dirt, ever enters SCP-47XX’s containment cell.

Description: SCP-47XX is a human female, formerly █████ ████████, approximately 200 centimeters tall. SCP-47XX is biologically normal on all accounts apart from its face, which is heavily deformed. The eyes, nose and mouth are in very abnormal positions, and are of abnormal size, however most notably it contains what appears to be a third row of teeth, “between” the upper and lower ones, hanging out from its mouth, and a complete lack of eyelids. In addition to this, SCP-47XX seems to be completely impervious to any kind of damage.

Due to the severe deformity of its face, SCP-47XX seems to be completely incapable of speech. Although SCP-47XX shows signs of dehydration and starvation, it does not seem to require sustenance of any kind.

SCP-47XX exhibits two anomalous effects.

The primary anomalous effect exclusively affects living organisms. Whenever a living being views SCP-47XX’s face for the first time, they will immediately enter a state of fear, and will attempt to distance themselves from it as much as possible. This state lasts for approximately 5 minutes. This effect does not carry over to pictures, videos, or sketches. However, repeated viewing of SCP-47XX’s face typically reduces the fear factor significantly, however those who view SCP-47XX after “getting used” to it only report a noticeable “tingling feeling”.

The secondary anomalous effect exclusively affects inanimate objects. Any time SCP-47XX faces the front of an object, it will transform into a large mouth, referred to as SCP-47XX-1. All SCP-47XX-1 instances have been observed to be at least 3 feet in length, regardless of the size of the initial object. Small objects are usually affected immediately, however larger objects have been known to take longer amounts of time, proportionate to the objects size. SCP-47XX-1 instances will constantly and very loudly vocalize, usually screaming, however, instances have been known to vocalize dramatized and distressed statements such as “It’s so ugly!”, “Oh the horror!”, and “Take it away! Take it away!”. All SCP-47XX-1 instances seem to be completely impervious to all damage, and after being in containment for ██ years, no instances have ever stopped vocalizing, or expired.

Inanimate objects that have a “front” are not affected by SCP-47XX’s secondary effect unless they are facing SCP-47XX. For example a chair in the vicinity of SCP-47XX will not be affected by SCP-47XX unless it is facing SCP-47XX.

Addendum: SCP-47XX was discovered in ████████, ████ after reports of what sounded like an explosion, followed by "a horde of old people moaning" in the basement of the local hospital resulted in the dispatching of MTF Sigma-13 ("Look away"). Almost all personnel were lost in action, due to their clothes becoming SCP-47XX-1 instances, immediately rupturing their torsos. It is entirely unknown how SCP-47XX was successfully put into its current containment cell without ████████.

Interview 47XX-1:

Interviewer: Dr. Garrus
Interviewed: Dr. Davidson
Foreword: Dr. Davidson was present at the time of SCP-47XX manifesting its anomalous properties.

[BEGIN LOG]

Dr. Garrus: Hello, Dr. Davidson, I hope you are doing well.

Dr. Davidson: I guess I am.

Dr. Garrus: Good, good. So, during this interview, we are going to refer to the patient you did surgery on a couple ████ ago as SCP-47XX, is that ok?

Dr. Davidson: How about just "the patient", is that Ok?

Dr. Garrus: I see no reason why not. So, anyway, was… the patient… different in any way from your other patients?

Dr. Davidson: Not while visiting this hospital, but when asked if she had gotten surgery before, she claimed to have gotten EIGHT different surgeries before this one.

Dr. Garrus: Did she specify why?

Dr. Davidson: Something about, like, self-doubt or something, memory's a bit hazy.

Dr. Garrus: Can you elaborate on that?

Dr. Davidson: I'm afraid I can't.

Dr. Garrus: Ok. Now, it's time we've addressed the elephant in the room. Do you know when the patient manifested its anomalous properties?

Dr. Davidson: When the patient did what?

Dr. Garrus sighs.

Dr. Garrus: When did the patient start doing weird things?

Dr. Davidson: It's a bit hard to describe, it all happened so fast. We had just removed the last of the bandages off of her, and she looked fine for a second, and then BAM! Suddenly she looks like a… like a… a- and then the room… uh… exploded or something. Yeah. That's what happened.

Dr. Garrus and Dr. Davidson both stare at each other for 10 seconds without talking.

Dr. Garrus: …Ok then.
