An SCP-XXXX birth pair photographed in the █████████████ on ██/██/20██

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the widespread propagation of SCP-XXXX, complete containment is considered impossible. Specimens recovered from the wild must be kept in a thirty meter by thirty meter glass chamber, surrounded by two five meter thick layers of rubber separated from each other by a one meter gap of air, all encased in a three meter thick plastic shell.

The chamber must be filled with water, there must always be a minimum of two SCP-XXXX specimens housed together in a single chamber, and these two specimens must have a confirmed psychic link. If a chamber is to house more than two specimens of SCP-XXXX, every specimen must have a psychically-linked partner (SEE ADDENDUM XXXX-A1). In the event that a single SCP-XXXX specimen perishes, its partner must be immediately terminated to prevent an overload.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a species of deep sea jellyfish with anomalous electrical properties. Each individual member of SCP-XXXXs species is capable of matching the power output of the theoretical Dyson Sphere, and as such is capable of powering all of humanity into the next several centuries. The manner in which SCP-XXXX specimens are capable of producing such vast amounts of electrical power without either entirely overloading themselves or everything on the surface of the planet is currently unknown.

It is unknown exactly how many specimens of SCP-XXXX are currently in the wild, though the most recent Foundation research puts the closest estimate at seven thousand individuals, amounting to three thousand five hundred pairs.

SCP-XXXX reproduce asexually, and always produce pairs. These birth pairs remain together throughout the entirety of their lives, and suffer extreme distress if one is injured or killed. This distress leads the remaining SCP-XXXX specimen in the pair to begin overheating to a temperature of approximately 6,000 K, until an overload occurs, detonating the specimen with the force of seventy billion Hiroshima atomic bombs. It is theorized that past detonations of SCP-XXXX specimens have been responsible for at least two mass extinction events.

SCP-XXXX pairs possess some form of psychic link, ensuring that each individual is always capable of identifying its birth partner during periods of mass congregation. SCP-XXXX specimens gather in large groups of about three hundred pairs during migration seasons, which occur every █████ and █████ month of the year. On rare occasions, several of these migratory groups will collide and form a super group. This is known to have occurred several times in the past, prompting a rapid acceleration of the Earth's magnetic pole reversal.

Individual SCP-XXXX specimens do possess unique personality traits and behavioral patterns, and birth pairs have shown the ability to communicate with one another in a manner similar to humans, albeit in a rather simplistic form of speaking.. Testing of SCP-XXXXs intelligence has proven difficult as individuals remain uncooperative with Foundation personnel. SCP-XXXX specimens are fully cognizant of outside communication when it is attempted by Foundation scientists, and are aware that a foreign entity is attempting to communicate with them. This has lead to a variety of responses from different SCP-XXXX specimens, most of which have proven ultimately useless. Those SCP-XXXX specimens that have provided anything of value have only done so after continuous prodding (SEE TEST LOGS).

Addendum XXXX-A1: Due to complications in containment at Site-██, containment of more than two SCP-XXXX specimens on a single Foundation site has been barred by order of the O5 Council.
