Item #: SCP 4033 (placeholder)
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP 4033 are to be kept in a concrete containment chamber with a two-foot thick glass roof to allow light in. They have broken down the floor into soil and planted new flora, which is to be trimmed every two weeks to keep it from growing tall enough for them to hide in. The foundation has attempted to repair the floor, but they would destroy any repairs, regardless of reenforcement, within seven hours and do not appear to be hurrying to escape.
Description: Scp 4033 are people shaped out of apple trees. Their mouths would only appear when they needed to speak. At the time of containment, Scp 4033-A appeared to be a teenage or preteen girl, and Scp 4033-B a boy between eight to eleven years old. Both have aged since then.
Scp 4033-C is an immobile tree in the shape of a young woman in her mid to late teens. Though it shows no anomalous qualities, excluding signs of aging, the foundation is keeping it under observation. Biological testing has not shown that any of the three are different from regular apple trees.
A and B can extend their limbs to unknown limits and known to be able to puncture human bodies, certain metals, wood, and plaster.
Their limbs can be severed and broken like regular tree branches and appear to cause the same distress as a human experiencing the same trauma. The entities can regrow severed limbs extremely quickly, though the foundation hasn’t tested what would happen if a vital area, such as the head, were to be severed.
The two are usually non-violent and somewhat cooperative, but both will go into a violent frenzy when separated. SCP 4033-A won't answer questions about their creator, and while SCP 4033-B is more willing to answer, the other will stop it from doing so. They are illiterate, but otherwise appear to have the same intelligence as other children their age.
Despite the fact that their abilities indicate that they would require extra nutrients, neither entity requires sustenance beyond what a regular apple tree of their size needs. When need be, they will dig their fingers into the floor of their containment chamber and absorb nutrients through the ground.
They were discovered in the home of a then-recently deceased man in 2016. The man, presumably their creator, kept detailed entries of his experience with his creations, how he immobilized Scp 4033-C, and heavily coded entries, likely detailing how he created the entities.
Addendum 4033.1: Before this interview, the entities have not revealed any information about themselves. Dr. Bonnie ██████, a mother of two preteen children and a former middle school guidance counselor, suggested that she might be able to get through to the entities.
Interviewer: Dr. Bonnie ██████
Interviewee: Scp 4033-A and B
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. ██████: My name is doctor Bonnie ██████. You can call me Bonnie. What should I call you?
Scp 4033-B: I’m Leo. She’s Miro.
Dr. ██████: Leo and Mira-
Scp 4033-A: (Angrily) It’s Miro.
Dr. ██████: Leo and Miro. You two have interesting names. Can you tell me more about yourselves?
Scp 4033-B: We've - I've always wanted to know what the outside world was like. Miro doesn't care. Dad never answered my questions.
Dr. ██████: Dad? Is he the man we found in that house? Can you tell me about him? Do you know why or how he created you?
Scp 4033-B: We can’t-
Scp 4033-A: What do you want from us? Why did you lock us up? Are you going to dissect us? Kill us?
Dr. ██████: We don’t want to hurt you, Miro. We want to learn about you. The sooner we understand what you are, the sooner we might be able to let you out of containment.
Scp 4033-A: (Furious) Containment?! What the HELL does that mean?! You don’t want to hurt us?! BS! Those flame-slingers cut off our arms! Why the ever-loving-
Dr. ██████: Miro, calm dow-
Scp 4033-A: DON’T USE THAT TONE WITH ME! DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I’M NOT FIVE!
[END LOG]
Attending Researcher’s Note: Scp 4033-A attempted to strangle Dr. Green. A tactical team was able to pry the entity away from her, and Scp 4033-A and B were re-sealed into their containment chamber.
Addendum 4033.2: The entites’ creator has now been identified as former foundation researcher Alexander █████████, who, after being caught attempting to create anomalies without authorization, abandoned his home in Eek, Alaska, as well as his job at the foundation. All signs pointed to him having left willingly.

Item #: SCP 5091 (placeholder)
Object Class: Euclid Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: Scp 5091 is kept in a 3x5x5 concrete room with a bed, small desk, sink, shower, and toilet. It is to be given three meals and two liters of water a day. It is not to be given shellfish or dairy products. The sheets are to be cleaned twice a month.
Description: Scp 5091 is the body of Edward Douglas, who died of tuberculosis in 1909. After his burial, he came back to life, but died soon after from lack of air in his coffin, only to come back again. This went on until the cemetery it was buried in was dug up in 20██ to clear space for a housing complex.
It was shot by a construction worker upon exiting its coffin. According to the worker and others, its wound healed over the course of 5 hours and it awoke soon after fully healing, confused and agitated but was easily calmed down.
It was taken in by the foundation and the construction personnel who discovered it were given amnestics.
It is very quiet and for the most part, cooperative, but very anxious in conversation. Being asked about or speaking of its anomalous properties causes it significant distress.
If killed, the entity's body will heal any fatal wounds and come back to life any time from minutes to months later. Outside of its anomalous properties, the subject has the same needs resilience as a non-anomalous child.
Addendum 5091.1: Scp 5091 requested a teddy bear. Request granted.
Addendum 5091.2: Scp 5091 was poisoned with a gram of cyanide. The subject died almost immediately, and recovered after two hours, seemingly of what had happened.
Addendum 5091.3: Scp 5091 requested a pet bird for company. Request denied.

Dr. ███████: We have some questions to ask you.
(Scp 5091 nods)
Dr. ███████: Is there any reason you're so jittery today?
Scp 5091: Are… Are you going to hurt me?
Dr. ███████: No, don't worry.
Scp 5091: Th-then why am I here?
Dr. ███████: Who is 'Alma'?
Scp 5091: My-my baby sister… The other girl looked like her, b-but Alma's eyes are green, not brown.
Dr. ███████: Did Alma get sick too?

Dr. ███████: Teddy?
Scp 5091: (beginning to cry) W-why are you asking me all these q-questions? I don't want to be here! Why are you keeping me here? I want to go home!
Dr. ███████: Teddy-
Scp 5091: Why do you keep hurting me? Why do you keep making me sick?! WHY?!
Dr. ███████: Teddy, look at me. We're not doing this to you just because we can. If we learn more about your unique properties, we could help countless people.
Scp 5091: (sobbing) I don't want to help people! I want to go home! I want my mom and dad!
Dr. ███████: Teddy. Edward, look at me. We can't send you home. This is the safest place for you to be. There are people out there, dangerous people, who would want to hurt you if they were to find about your abilities.
Scp 5091: Why can't I go home?! Where are my parents?!
Dr. ███████: It's been almost a hundred years since you died, Teddy. Your parents are long gone.
Scp 5091: No! NO no no no. Mom… Dad… Let me go! Let me go! You can't keep me prisoner forever! LET ME GO! I want to go home! I WANT TO GO HOME!
