[[Deep water Terror]]

Item #: SCP-8571

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP 8571 must be kept in a 500 km by 500 km tank which should at least be able
to reach the bottom of the ocean and it should be under strict supervision,
to keep it from reaching a high stress-level, any violation of its territory will result in death by being eaten.
It will not tolerate being touched or high pitched sounds such as screaming or splashing. SCP-8571 must be fed
and have the water temperature at an acceptable level. If it reaches an abnormally high stress level,
it will start to go beserk and do anything it can to get its aggressions out and it will usually result in a broken cage
and it will then escape. Other SCP´s in a particular radius will also cause its stress level to go up. Monitor the cage
and the stress level meter and everything should be fine.

Description: This is a mosasaur-like creature with its face looking severly burned off and its skull showing,
making it a very eerie underwater specimen. SCP-8571 likes to stay in the deepest parts of the ocean where its dark
and it cant be seen. It has no eyes and only hollow eyesockets in its skull and therefore uses
vibrations in the oceanfloor to track prey or potential predators. Its bodylenght can measure up to 600 km and can grow
up to 900 km when it reaches a high stresslevel since its blood begins to pump quicker around its body.
It will eat anything from dolphins to megalodon sharks because of its large size. Simply walking near
its habitat will cause it to see you as a threat and do anything to get rid of you. Since SCP-8571 is cold-blooded
it can also go on land for shorts periods of time. It will latch its tail to something at the bottom of the ocean
and then throw its body up on the shore to catch prey or to scare off predators and pull itself back into the ocean.
It will eat anything unlucky enough to swim by its territory. The body of SCP-8571 is long and slick
and multiple holes can be seen along its body, but no blood will escape from the body as if there was none in the first place.
It has a tendency to dig itself underground to cool its body down. When its time to hunt which is mostly at night,
it will stretch out its entire body and stay completely still until it can feel something brush by its body.
It will then only move the parts of the body that wont startle the animal, and it can move over 870 mph and strike the animal
without it knowing what hit it. This creature will not bleed and it has shown no signs of pain and is simply a terrifying
creature who lurks in the dark waters at night.

Addendum: This creature has been caught, but more research about this creature will most likely
not happen anytime soon since its aggressive nature makes it impossible for anyone to come near it.
