Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX's only known entrance and the 40-kilometer stretch of road leading to it (hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-A) are concealed from satellite imaging by densely-clustered artificial foliage. Members of Stationary Task Force STF-Mu-21 ("Good Intentions") are posted at checkpoints every 10 kilometers along SCP-XXXX-A's length to redirect civilian traffic. The bulk of STF-Mu-21's forces are stationed at the entrance to SCP-XXXX and equipped with both lethal and non-lethal weaponry, stun and fragmentation grenades, and body armor (for a full equipment list, refer to Requisition Log XXXX-84D).

All unidentified humans seen leaving SCP-XXXX are to be taken into Foundation custody and questioned, following which amnestics will be administered as needed. All non-human entities (hereafter referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) seen leaving SCP-XXXX are to be captured (if possible) or destroyed.

Remains of destroyed instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be kept in separate cold storage lockers at Site-15. Living instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be kept in separate reinforced steel containment lockers at Site-9, with dimensions adequate to fully contain the instance in question. The largest recorded instance required a [DATA EXPUNGED] containment locker, while the largest currently contained instance requires a 2.5m x 3m x 3m containment locker. All currently contained instances of SCP-XXXX-1 do not require (and should not be provided with) sustenance.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an apparently man-made tunnel, at least 25 kilometers in length (although survey expeditions suggest it is much longer), with the only currently known entrance located on the north side of Mt. ██████, in ███████, ██. Survey expeditions have identified one other possible entrance, more than 25 km in, though all attempts to reach it have been unsuccessful.

All known instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are ████, ███, [REDACTED] with ████ that appear [REDACTED], given the absence of ████ within SCP-XXXX. [REDACTED] from SCP-XXXX-1 is [REDACTED] closest known relative, genetically speaking, being Cryptotora thamicola, a 20% match. The exception to this is [REDACTED] which in all cases has been consistent with █████ ████. All instances of SCP-XXXX-1 have been observed to be capable of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] of ███ [REDACTED] running style (bipedal or quadrupedal) appears to have a negligible effect on top speed. There are currently ██ entities identified as SCP-XXXX-1 in containment, 3 living, █ deceased. ████ from █ of these [REDACTED].
