Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a room measuring at least 5 m by 5 m and kept above 27° C with tropical foliage spread throughout. Two security personnel are with are to be posted outside SCP-XXXXs containment chamber at all times to prevent the escape of SCP-XXXX. Guards are to be rotated out every hour, any personnel experiencing feelings of unease and compulsions revolving around SCP-XXXXs cell are to report to senior staff immediately, and are to be placed in quarantine for 24 hours. In the case of a containment breach SCP-XXXXs sector is to be locked down for a minimum of 24 hours. Under no circumstances are any sentient SCPs to be transported within 100m of SCP-XXXXs cell.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a Forest Cobra (Naja melanoleuca) displaying several anomalous abilities. SCP-XXXX is capable of basic telepathy which is mostly used to identify victims, but is also used to occasionally communicate with certain researchers. Victims are individuals who have a history of injuring or killing what SCP-XXXX deems harmless wildlife. Only one victim is ever selected within a 12 hour period of the expiration of the previous victim, with the exception of SCP-XXXX being attacked in which case it has selected as many as 10 victims. Research has indicated that victims are selected based off SCP-XXXX’s own moral code yielding unpredictable results at times. Once SCP-XXXX has selected a victim it attempts to gain access to the victim by any means. After a period of 48 hours SCP-XXXX will give up one the pursuit of a victim. When SCP-XXXX apprehends a victim it bites them several times injecting up to 2000 mg of venom. Upon envenomation the subject will begin to experience excruciating pain and muscle contractions. Approximately 7 minutes after the onset of initial symptoms the anomalous effects of the venom begin to manifest, effects of venom are detailed in testing log.

Request to conduct testing involving researchers
Request conditionally granted

Addendum: When certain SCPs are brought within the proximity of SCP-XXXX it can enter an "enraged" state using its telepathy to control nearby humans to assist in its escape. SCP-XXXX nor any humans under its influence are to be approached as it has been shown to be hostile to all possible threats in this state including all personnel. This state will continue until one of 3 conditions are met.

  • The offending SCP is destroyed or is found to be too difficult to destroy
  • The SCP is moved at least 1 km away
  • 24 hours pass

Due to the loss of SCP-████ and ██ personnel during the first 6 months after initial containment SCP-XXXXs class has been updated to Euclid
