Item #: SCP-4037
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4037 is to be held within a chamber made exclusively of 10 cm thick glass, with the dimensions of 3 m x 3 m x 5 m at all times. This containment cell must be located inside of a reinforced, shock resistant steel bunker in the following underground containment facility, designated: ███████. There can be no deviation from any following procedures under any circumstances. SCP-4037 requires standard video surveilance as well as a pressure-based pedestal system in the center of its containment cell upon which SCP-4037 rests, in order to confirm the presence of the entity.
Assessments of the integrity of the glass cell within the steel bunker housing SCP-4037 are to be performed weekly, and can last no longer than 30 minutes per assessment. Any inspecting personnel located within the steel bunker after 30 minutes of being in proximity to the entity are to be immediately incinerated via remotely operated flamethrower to avoid any potential containment breach.
Any test subject used in experiments with SCP-4037 are to be immediately incinerated via previously mentioned remote flamethrower, unless permitted otherwise by Doctor ████. Cross-testing between the entity and other SCP properties must receive clearance from 05-█.
Description: SCP-4037 is a leather bound text with brass-covered corners, measuring 27.43 centimeters in length, 14.37 centimeters in width, and 6.82 centimeters in height. The cover of the text reads, "
SCP-096's jaw can open to four (4) times the norm of an average human. Other facial features remain similar to an average human, with the exception of the eyes, which are also devoid of pigmentation. It is not yet known whether SCP-096 is blind or not. It shows no signs of any higher brain functions, and is not considered to be sapient.
SCP-096 is normally extremely docile, with pressure sensors inside its cell indicating it spends most of the day pacing by the eastern wall. However, when someone views SCP-096's face, whether it be directly, via video recording, or even a photograph, it will enter a stage of considerable emotional distress. SCP-096 will cover its face with its hands and begin screaming, crying, and babbling incoherently. Approximately one (1) to two (2) minutes after the first viewing, SCP-096 will begin running to the person who viewed its face (who will from this point on be referred to as SCP-096-1).
Documented speeds have varied from thirty-five (35) km/h to ███ km/h, and seems to depend on distance from SCP-096-1. At this point, no known material or method can impede SCP-096's progress. The actual position of SCP-096-1 does not seem to affect SCP-096's response; it seems to have an innate sense of SCP-096-1's location. Note: This reaction does not occur when viewing artistic depictions (see Document 096-1).
Upon arriving at SCP-096-1's location, SCP-096 will proceed to kill and [DATA EXPUNGED] SCP-096-1. 100% of cases have left no traces of SCP-096-1. SCP-096 will then sit down for several minutes before regaining its composure and becoming docile once again. It will then attempt to make its way back to its natural habitat, [DATA REDACTED]
Due to the possibility of a mass chain reaction, including breach of Foundation secrecy and large civilian loss of life, retrieval of subject should be considered Alpha priority.
