Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a standard sized sound proof containment cell with 2 armed guards wearing sound cancelling headphones with built in communications capability. SCP-XXXX is to be fed live prey twice a week through a two way airlock in the ceiling of the containment cell, and a feeding chart on the site-side of the airlock is to be filled in so as to avoid the unnecessary growth of the entity. Should the entity gain access to the inside of the airlock, before it is closed off from the cell-side, the airlock is to be purged using flamethrowers built into the walls of the airlock until the entity moves back into the cell. D-Class personnel are only to be fed to SCP-XXXX as an alternative form of termination, not for the entities regular sustenance.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a highly aggressive, amorphous mass of grey skinned humanoid arms protruding from a central mass. The entity currently consists of around 50 limbs, having an overall diameter of 2m, but upon its initial containment was recorded to have over 200 limbs, with an overall diameter of 5m. Each arm has a minimum of one elbow joint, five digits on the hand, and a humanoid mouth in the centre of the palm; however a number of the arms will feature more than one of these features, along with tumorous growths or exposed bones along the length of the arms. The mouths located on the palm of each hand are used to consume the entities prey, and examination of severed limbs show a throat-like structure running down the length of the arm through the hollow bones, leading to the entities central mass. the mouths are also capable of emitting screams which have been recorded to last at a constant rate for 72 hours at decibels reaching 150dB. SCP-XXXX will usually scream from the majority of its mouths while in containment but will increase in volume and intensity when it encounters prey, and significantly decrease for a short while after feeding. The entity has a theorised internal organ structure, at minimum containing a digestive system and lungs, however this has not yet been proven due to the difficulty of examining the entity. SCP-XXXX will only hunt and eat live prey and uses its high speed and strength to run down and dismember any living thing it can find. The consumption of prey will cause a rapid increase in size and mass, new arms will also sprout from the central mass as it grows. How the entity can sense its surroundings or its prey is unknown as the entity doesn't appear to have any identifiable visual, olfactory, or auditory sensors. SCP-XXXX has proved difficult but not impossible to subdue or potentially kill, individual limbs have been severed from the central mass from the use of high explosives used by MTF Gamma-2 (Creatures of Havoc) upon initial containment.
