Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a box, a 0.5 m x 0.5m x 0.5 m polycarbonate glass panel, within which pure oxygen is to be contained at all times. The room which SCP-XXXX is contained in must also have pure oxygen pumped in at all times. SCP-XXXX’s cell must not contain metal of any sort. Any personnel within the same room as SCP-XXXX must also not carry any metal.

Although any escape attempts made by SCP-XXXX is unlikely, SCP-XXXX has many royal followers and must be guarded from external threats that attempt to breach SCP-XXXX containment.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a very massive humanoid when in-cased by its armor. SCP-XXXX’s size seems to only increase with each victim’s “soul” it collects. Although SCP-XXXX’s armor form is massive and ever growing, SCP-XXXX’s true form lacks flesh and solid matter. Instead it takes a gaseous form that has the same density as normal atmospheric oxygen. Therefore, SCP-XXXX without it’s armor can be condensed into tiny areas, even though SCP-XXX’s true form seems to be about 30 Liters in volume in its natural state.

SCP-XXXX appears to be capable of communication, however as it lacks a mouth and any form of sound making, it is unknown how exactly he communicates. Despite making it’s intention of world domination known, SCP-XXXX is generally cooperative with Foundation staff. SCP-XXXX’s brutal honesty and incredible intelligence in interviews may be somewhat intimidating to the interviewer. SCP-XXXX is incredibly adamant that one day it's going to rule the world and has asked numerous staff members to serve it when the time comes.

The fact that SCP-XXXX haven’t had any breach contamination attempts might prove to be worrisome, as the full powers of SCP-XXXX have not been known yet. It has been observed that SCP-XXXX have complete mastery of metal manipulation, bending them to its will upon having vision. This power varies between metals with what seems to be iron mastery being the most effective for SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX and its armor seems to grow every time it claims a soul. SCP-XXXX is able to create numerous amounts of SCP-XXXX-2 from the deaths of his victims, the exact number seems to vary depending on ███. The power of SCP-XXXX seems to only increase and become more efficient with each SCP-XXXX-2 summoned. It is unknown whether SCP-XXXX is able to obtain new abilities from this method.

SCP-XXXX-2 are black eyeless creatures summoned by SCP-XXXX, although they vary in size, they tend to be approximately ███ Centimeters. SCP-XXXX-2s seem to be under the command of SCP-XXXX as a hive mind. What SCP-XXXX-2 lacks in size and intelligence, they more than make up for in numbers and tenacity. The current number of SCP-XXXX-2’s in the world is unknown, however, it is reasonable to assume they number in the millions. They can also jump and move incredibly well for their size, although more data are needed for an accurate assessment. SCP-XXXX-2 have proven to be hard to study, due to it entering a dormant state once captured, melting to a complete black goo substance. Whenever released, SCP-XXXX-2s seem to revert back to active form. It is unknown what causes the switch between active and dormant form within SCP-XXXX-2. Although they are quite easy to neutralize, with a single bullet in most places of its body. SCP-XXXX-2 have shown to be able to regenerate all bodily cells within █-█ hours. Only way to neutralize them permanently is the destruction of all cells within SCP-XXXX-2, fire is recommended.

Addendum: [Optional additional paragraphs]
Capture:
SCP-XXXX was first discovered when reports of a faceless warlord scourged central Africa. It was reported the warlord demanded all to serve and those that refused face the consequences of his black magic. The foundation questioned the captured forces of the warlord, although the warlords’ men are fiercely loyal, out of either true belief of the warlords’ quest or the fear of punishment for betrayal, the foundation eventually received the position of the warlord’s camp and mobilized immediately. MTF forces were sent to investigate, MTF Force ███ was the first to make contact with SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-2s, confirming from first appearance they were not human.█████ ██ █████ █████, ████ █████ ██. █████ ████ ██ ████. Eventually all contact was lost. Two more MTF squads, MTF ████ and MTF █████ were sent the next day and MTF ████ the day after that. However, despite all attempts, the MTF squads met the same fate and contact was lost. After the loss of four MTF squads, the foundation took another approach, setting up barriers and watch towers around the ever expanding territory of SCP-XXXX and its servants. Soon the defenses of MTF were bombarded with normal human soldiers serving SCP-XXXX, endless hordes of SCP-XXXX-2s and even SCP-XXXX itself. The humans and waves of SCP-XXXX-2s were harsh but manageable, however, SCP-XXXX itself proved to be unstoppable. SCP-XXXX seems to be immune to all attacks underneath his heavy armor, it’s mastery over metal manipulation proved easy to disable all weapons and vehicles of the MTFs and use it to both enhance and empower itself. The causalities of MTF agents over just the first day of conflict was approximately ██. The causalities for the second day of conflict was an even greater number, ██, despite the 05-council’s approval over the use of ████ ███. However, just when orders of tactical retreat were in effect, SCP-XXXX sent a human messenger stating that it surrenders and is willing to comply with the SCP Foundation.
Behavior:
Although SCP-XXXX possesses a number of dangerous abilities, it seems to prefer using physical strikes with his weapon when attacking, claiming it to be more “honorable”. It is due to this sense of “honor” that SCP-XXXX accepts all one on one duels during battles, which was used numerous during the first encounter with SCP-XXXX to effectively stall and buy time.
Weapons and armor:
SCP-XXXX’s external shell seems to resemble that of a knight from the dark ages. SCP-XXXX is able to enhance and manipulate it’s armor at will, although the armor is made up of what seems to be highly refined steel and iron, SCP-XXXX have modified the metal to the point of indestructibility. The metal has no known melting point. SCP-XXXX also seem to be a master at manipulating metals into weapons of it’s preference, SCP-XXXX seem to be a master at arms with any melee weapon and does craft weapons mid battle. It’s favorite weapon is what seems to be a long sword.

Audio log from Interview XXXX-1:

Interviewed: Dr.████

Interviewer: SCP-XXXX

Foreword: Interview done immediately after the containment of SCP-XXXX

<Begin Log>

Dr.████: Let’s start the interview off with the most basic question, What are you?

SCP-XXXX: What I am is not important, what is important is what I will become.

Dr.████: And that is?

SCP-XXXX: The ruler of the world of course, the king of kings! All shall serve under my command.

Dr.████: When you say “all shall serve” what do you exactly mean? Can you expand upon that? What happens if a person refuses to serve?

SCP-XXXX: I can sense you are a being of intelligence doctor. There is no need for pointless pity questions for your meaningless foundation. Serve me doctor and I can promise you a life of glory and purpose.

Dr.████: And what if I was to refuse your offer?

(A brief silence then what seems to be a sigh from SCP-XXXX)

SCP-XXXX: Then I will destroy you and absorb your soul into me and your body will serve as the gateway to my void friends.

Dr.████: When you refer to your “void friend”, you are talking about SCP-XXXX-1, correct?

SCP-XXXX: Your senseless question bore me doctor. Tell me, why do you go through all this trouble for the foundation? Why risk so much for an organization that values you so little?

Dr.████: Irrelevant, I am the one conducting the interview, not you. There is still much we need to cover.

SCP-XXXX: (A brief chuckle) Very well! Proceed.

Dr.████:So about SCP-XXXX-1, what are they exactly? What are they mad-

SCP-XXXX: They are what they are, mindless drones in service to me.

Dr.████: Is there no other information about SCP-XXXX-1 you would like to share with us?
SCP-XXXX: None important.

(Doctor ████ asks more questions on SCP-XXXX-1, with no clear answers, doctor ████ takes a break for the day.)

**Attending Researcher’s Notes: Although SCP-XXXX is very contained and under interview, it seems to be in control of the direction of conversion, indicating major charisma characteristics. **

Audio log from Interview XXXX-2:

Interviewer: Dr.████

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

<Begin Log>

Dr.████: Let’s try this again. Yesterday we left out the subject of SCP-XXXX-1, today I would like to move on.

SCP-XXXX: I would like nothing more myself, proceed.

Dr.████: Today I would like to discuss the events of your capture. You seem ever so determined to rule the world, yet you surrendered to us fairly easily. Why is that?

SCP-XXXX: Because unlike your foundation, I care for those serving me. It was clear from the skirmishes of the days before that your foundation had no shortage of men they are willing to throw at me to achieve victory. Causalities from both sides of the battle were piling up, although I do appreciate the increase in my powers from the souls I consumed over that period, I take no pleasure in involving myself in what could have been a prolonged war with mass causalities.

Dr.████: and why is that? Do you feel sympa-

SCP-XXXX: What is the point of ruling with servants? What is the point of domination without living subjects to control? I do not conquer land, I conquer people.

Dr.████: I see, but doesn’t being contained by the foundation ruin your plans of conquest?
SCP-XXXX: Absolutely not, I will conquer the world, it is my destiny! This tiny delay of the inevitable is will worth the reward
.
Dr.████: The reward?

SCP-XXXX: The reward of powerful loyal subjects. Why do you think I have allowed you to study me?

(brief pause)

Dr.████: I don’t understa-

SCP-XXXX: Because I want your precious foundation to know of my existence, to understand my intent and to serve me! Soon your whole foundation will bow before me.

Dr.████: I don’t think that’s going to happen.

SCP-XXXX: Your foundation will serve or be destroyed. I would hate for the ladder to be the case, such meaningless struggle, such wasted potential. You have served me well, doctor. These interviews will no doubtedly draw the interest of your higher ups. Now go! That’s enough questions for today.
