Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: TBD

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a containment room with walls and a single door made of 4-inch thick hollow plexiglass filled with water. Any and all persons with mental health conditions are not to come within 30 meters of SCP-XXXX’s containment room. SCP-XXXX is to be fed a special liquid substance developed by researchers. This substance is to be dispensed into SCP-XXXX’s feeding bowl by a retractable faucet built into the wall of its containment room. Personnel are not to come within 10 meters of SCP-XXXX’s containment room unless directed to do so.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a small, partially invisible being that emits a strange light from what is presumed to be the center of its body. The only parts of it that are visible are eight elongated crystal-like objects that appear to float around its body in a position reminiscent of a pair of wings, with four crystals on its right side, and four on its left. These crystals appear to have several different patterns of movement, and it is currently believed that these patterns are based on SCP-XXXX's mood, but this has not been verified. The invisible parts of its body are also untouchable by solid objects, but it appears to be unable to pass through liquids. It can walk across bodies of water, leaving behind tiny ripples in its path. Due to the pattern of these ripples, it is believed that SCP-XXXX has two small feet, but as it cannot touch solid objects, SCP-XXXX moves around mostly by floating.

SCP-XXXX's defining characteristic is its ability to permanently shapeshift into virtually anything. This ability is activated when any human comes within 5 meters of SCP-XXXX. This person is referred to as "SCP-XXXX-1." When activated, SCP-XXXX will invade SCP-XXXX-1's conscious mind and transform itself into the first being or object it finds at the forefront. If SCP-XXXX-1 is thinking of nothing, SCP-XXXX will delve deeper into SCP-XXXX-1's subconscious mind and transform itself into the first being or object it finds there. This process cannot be cancelled by SCP-XXXX-1 or any third parties.

Tests have shown that the range of things that SCP-XXXX can transform itself into widens with age. From the ages of 0 to 2 months old, it can only turn into small beings or objects, like rodents or pens. At 3 months old, this range begins to progressively widen to bigger beings or objects, like dogs or chairs. As of now, the largest thing the foundation has been able to transform SCP-XXXX into is a decently sized building that is now being used to securely house instances of SCP-XXXX. It is believed, however, that with enough time to mature, SCP-XXXX could be used to create things as large as new inhabitable planets for the betterment of mankind.

The transformation of SCP-XXXX is always permanent. For the most part, anything that SCP-XXXX transforms into will closely resemble both the appearance and function or behavior of a "real" version of that object or being, with the biggest difference being that things made from an instance of SCP-XXXX tend to be far more durable and last longer than their "real" counterpart. The only exception to this that has been discovered by researchers is when an attempt is made to transform SCP-XXXX into a human being. Doing so will result in a being that more closely resembles a mannequin than a human. While this being, referred to as SCP-XXXX-2, can move its body and blink, it always appears to come out in a permanent vegetative state. All attempts at creating a fully-functioning human using SCP-XXXX have failed.

SCP-XXXX procreates by cracking off a part of one of its crystals, which then develops into a new instance of SCP-XXXX. This process takes roughly one month to complete. After a piece of the crystal cracks off, that piece begins to grow and gradually crack into eight pieces that then become the "wings" of the new instance. After one week of growth, the new cracks begin to form from the center of the crystal. After two weeks, the cracks stretch about halfway through the crystal. After three weeks, the crystal breaks up into eight separate pieces. By week four, the eight crystals have fully grown and taken a shape very similar but not perfectly identical to the crystals of its parent, and the new instance of SCP-XXXX begins to emit its own light. The broken crystal of the parent SCP-XXXX slowly grows back to its original size over the course of this period, and typically finishes its regeneration around the same time that the new instance of SCP-XXXX finishes forming. Procreation of SCP-XXXX appears to occur at random rather than follow a pattern.
