Object Class: Euclid (Provisional)

Special Containment Procedures: Due to their self-containing nature, SCP-XXXX instances are to be captured and detained in reinforced humanoid containment chambers until their neutralization. Educational pamphlets are to be disseminated among the local populace regarding actions to be taken in the event of an SCP-XXXX sighting.

Containment procedures for SCP-XXXX's location of origin are currently pending.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an indeterminate number of heavily disfigured humanoid entities that are often found roaming the debris in North Korea after the complete lifting of the Veil. An instance of SCP-XXXX typically wears a tattered brown military uniform or the Hanbok, a traditional Korean dress.

Deformities vary; some instances possess elongated limbs (~1.5m long), while others have abnormal facial features such as an extra eye, several oral cavities, or partial liquefication of its body parts. Instances of SCP-XXXX share the similar characteristic of possessing bulbous cysts across exposed skin. These cysts spontaneously burst to release a highly corrosive substance. As a result of this phenomenon, instances of SCP-XXXX will eventually shed the entirety of their skin resulting in exposure of the skeletal structure beneath. At this point, instances can be considered neutralized.

Addendum XXXX-1: Discovery

After the total failure of the Veil protocol, a Foundation humanitarian effort was launched across the entirety of North Korea. At this point, rumors about the existence of bizarre lifeforms was frequently reported by Foundation personnel attached to the humanitarian mission. The majority of these reports came from South Korean villages situated near the DMZ. A drone (thermal) was deployed to monitor the area.

Two hours after, the drone detected a high concentration of heat signatures near a bunker situated 940m away from a dilapidated military base in Wonsan, North Korea. MTF Zulu-6 ("Bunker Hunkers") was dispatched to investigate.

Addendum XXXX-2: Exploration Log

According to recovered footage, for the first eight floors, most rooms appear to be living quarters; a bunk bed, foldable chair, wooden desk, a bookshelf and two damaged portraits of past state leaders are seen. A single restroom, dirtied with human waste is present on each floor. Human corpses are found in tattered military uniforms and missing facial features1, exposing the bone beneath. Some are found hanging from the ceiling by bedsheets.

Seven generators occupy the ninth floor, six of which are non-functional.

From the tenth floor onwards, the room walls are lined with ceramic white tiles; rusted, bloodied gurneys and expired blood bags are present. The bodies are found with a shattered skull and missing limbs.

The following is a transcript of Zulu-6's exploration log. On floor 38, all contact with Zulu-6 was lost.

Addendum XXXX-3: Recovered Document

On floor 26, the following document was retrieved from a room similar in design to floor ten and beyond, except that this document2 was situated on a desk, in front of a corpse. 15mm wide wounds were seen on both of the temples, with a pistol on the floor. No other documents about this could be found.
