SCP-6077

The Undying Fossil

Object Class: Keter

Pre Order 839 Containment Procedures: SCP-6077 is a difficult creature to contain, as its biology is neither plant nor animal, yet it has the make up both as well as other classes of lifeforms distinguished by Earth's history. After the Incident now codenamed "Red Dawn", which has resulted in the complete destruction of its physical form, agents were (under permission from the upper command) to comply with SCP-6077's demands. In exchange, SCP-6077 will come quietly and will be contained in eco-chamber designed around its preferences. Once these conditions were met, the SCP has regenerated and halted in further biological development to its physical form. Becoming stable and has been designated as safe for the time being.

Furthermore it has been discovered that SCP-6077 has a calming effect on SCPs. With permission from the ███████ branch, SCP-6077 is to be conducted in various tests approved by the 05 Council for the possibility of being classed as a Thaumiel SCP.

Containment Procedures: Following Incident codenamed "Red Dawn" and Breach ███████████; Special Order 839 has been put forward by Alison Chao, and approved by the 05 Council:

SCP-6077 is to be terminated immediately. However, due to the state of invulnerability it can obtain when its physical form is obliterated, SCP-6077 containment is dedicated to keeping it in a perpetual state of stage 2 regeneration. The current method is to have it frozen by liquid nitrogen with rods intertwined throughout its skeletal system, which is hooked to an independent generator to continually deliver 100,000 volts to its rapidly regenerating nervous system. To avoid overheating, voltage to SPC-6077 is to be deliver three times a day with a spacing of eight hours starting in the morning to the afternoon, restarting accordingly with the following day.

At this time, all attempts at termination of SCP-6077, are being personally carried out by Alison Chao.

Due to its recent discover, difficulty of containment, Foundation Exposure, and being stated as █████████████████, SCP-6077 is to be brought from site ████████ and placed on site ████████. The Foundation as designated by the Administrator, is to use its resources to uncover a long-term method of containment until termination of SCP-6077 can be achieved.

Description: SCP-6077 is a large, unknown creature that possess the traits of many extinct and non-extinct animals that have existed on planet earth. Analysis of SCP-6077 indicates that the creature came into existence during the Archean Eon, and has been evolving ever since.

Standing at a vertical hight at around 7.7 ft, the body has a heresies kisses shape to it and it is supported by four pincer-like appendages, should these appendages be injured or destroyed SCP-6077 has a second method of transportation underneath in the form of countless stub feet similar to a velvet worm. SCP-6077’s upper body has two arms and hands that are parallel to it legs, these arm like appendages are similar to ants and end with webbed hands with each wrist armed with a deadly calcaneus spur. The most striking feature of SCP-6077 is its monstrous looking head, which is composed of at least six known species of animal. Most notably the head has two frontal appendages similar to Anomalocaris. The front and sides of SCP-6077’s head is that of a trilobite’s cephalon while its back is structured similarly to, and has the eyes of, a platypus. Finally the creature's head is peppered with Neolecta fungi, and the face in particular possesses an assortment of whisker-like objects that were thought to be similar to a mole, but were recently reclassified as an advanced form of hydra-like tentacles.

The surface body of SCP-6077 is as unique as well, as most of its body starting from the ‘waist’ up is coated in live ginkgo leaves and between these leaves are horsetails, and beneath this layer of plant-life is a non-cellular outer skin. On the exposed parts of its upper ‘thighs’ and arms is a dense covering of waterproof fur that is similar to a platypus. Finally, Covering the broad sides of SCP-6077’s chest and neck is segmented armor plating made up by a chitinous-like material that is reminiscent of ancient trilobites. Despite being bilateral, SCP-6077 is capable of full 360 degree awareness, meaning it can perceive and fight on all sides without having to turn. When engaging in combat, SCP-6077 eyes will shift from black to white, becoming blind and using its other senses as a means of attack and defense.

After the complete destruction of SCP-6077 physical form during the "Red Dawn" Incident, a purple and yellow ‘light’ appeared, and for an extended period of time, SCP-6077 was completely invulnerable by any means of harm or capture. As such for a waiting period of █████████████████, SCP-6077 began to regenerate, and it was through this period that the personnel involved with its capture were able to contain the living fossil in a temporary containment.

It is currently unknown when SCP-6077 was able to engage in complex communication, and there are some indication that it has deep understanding of the SPC Foundation, although no information was exposed to it by any personnel that we are aware of. The extent of SCP-6077's knowledge of the foundation is under continued investigation.
