Containment Class:
euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently contained within a standard humanoid containment unit. The entrance to SCP-XXXX's containment cell should be a re-enforced airlock. The airlock should be only opened from the Observation and Control room which is situated five meters away from the containment chamber. The containment chamber should be fitted with a video surveillance system and monitored at all times by at least two level-3 personnel. Personnel should be rotated weekly. Psychological evaluation is required before the personnel are allowed to return to duty. No personnel are allowed near the containment at any time and should remain at least five meters away to avoid the provocation of SCP-XXXX.
In the case of a breach, the dedicated Containment Zone must be placed on lock-down until the alert is rescinded and all standard precautions must be maintained. All staff is required to lock down any room they are within until specialized containment team MTF Upsilon-95 "Light Warriors" arrives. This team has been equipped with flamethrowers. Any possible SCP-XXXX-1 instances should be dealt with as quickly as possible. SCP-XXXX is to be neutralized and returned to its containment cell via the memetic resistant cage provided.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid entity, approximately 1.93 meters in height. It has no facial features except for a thin, unnaturally wide mouth, and appears to wear a garb that resembles a black robe. Due to SCP-XXXX's hostile nature, all attempts at a material analysis of the robe have failed and further attempts are to be approved at the discretion of the Site Overseer.
SCP-XXXX has been shown to "freeze" and remain motionless when exposed to temperatures exceeding 100°C.
SCP-XXXX shows the ability to teleport if left unobserved, appearing approximately five meters away from its initial position.
SCP-XXXX exhibits extreme violence towards humans and attacks them on sight. SCP-XXXX attacks its victim using its "claw-like" appendages attached to its hands. These "claws" are extremely sharp and have shown to be able to cut through most materials, including most metals. SCP-XXXX will use these "claws" to attack its victims often causing very deep wounds. During an attack, SCP-XXXX will attempt to remove the victim's heart via its "claws".
SCP will remain near the body of the victim and, if left unobserved, will attempt to add the victim's body to its mass, consuming it through yet unobserved means. This does not appear to have any notable difference to the external appearance of SCP-XXXX. This behavior continues until all of its victims have been consumed or another human comes into the proximity of SCP-XXXX.
If continued to be left unobserved SCP-XXXX will presumably split, generating an instance of SCP-XXXX-1. These instances are, in outward appearance, identical to one of SCP-XXXX's previous victims. However, testing has shown no higher brain functions in spite of their ability to carry out simple tasks at the, presumed, command of SCP-XXXX.
While SCP-XXXX-1 instances appear to talk, these vocalizations are usually just a tactic to lure other humans to SCP-XXXX's presence. SCP-XXXX instances' faces are usually frozen into horrified screams, although personnel have reported occasionally seeing the instances smile maniacally, though this has never been recorded.
Like SCP-XXXX, SCP-XXXX-1 instances are extremely violent towards humans. While not as fast and strong as SCP-XXXX itself, SCP-XXXX-1 instances can cause severe harm to any human around them. SCP-XXXX-1 instances are normally very easy to dispatch, although they can sometimes survive even after losing approximately 40% of their bodies. SCP-XXXX-1 instances can be destroyed by exposure to flame and produce a thick black gas upon death. This gas has yet to be sampled for analysis but incidents involving SCP-XXXX-1 have shown this gas to only create mild headaches and nosebleeds.
SCP-XXXX has shown to be able to survive explosions, direct gunfire, exposure to liquid nitrogen and being submerged in acid, among many others. All damage deal is ignored by it and after some time, regenerated. While extensive damage can hinder it, (for example destroying its legs will force it to a crawl and destroying both arms makes it unable to attack) nothing has shown to be completely lethal to SCP-XXXX as of yet.
SCP-XXXX was discovered in 2010 following several missing person cases and mysterious sightings in ███████, England. MTF Omega-82 was dispatched to the location, an abandoned warehouse near the downtown area of the city. Many SCP-XXXX-1 instances were found roaming around and were terminated without casualties. SCP-XXXX was found in an empty administrative room near a freshly killed victim. It was successfully captured but whit the cost of one team member. The origin of SCP-XXXX is yet unknown.
INTERVIEW XXXX-1
Interviewed: Capt. Jones, the secondary captain of MTF Omega-82 who was first to encounter SCP-XXXX.
Interviewer: Dr. ███████
Foreword: Subject has had mild depression since the discovery of SCP-XXXX. A psychological evaluation had been given to Capt. Jones but nothing severe was noticed until the interview.
<Begin Log>
Knocking
Dr. ███████: Come in.
The door opens and Capt. Jones steps in.
Capt. Jones: Good day. The scheduled interview is here, right?
Dr. ███████: Oh, yes. Take a seat, please. So, I'd like to ask you questions about the retrieval mission XXXX.
Capt. Jones: Yes, yes. So there were those reports of missing people in the city, all seemingly concentrated around the abandoned warehouse. There were ten of us, me, Sgt. Barnes, [REST REDACTED]. It was supposed to be an easy mission; just cage and transport.
Capt. Jones stops speaking for a while.
Dr. ███████: Could you please continue?
Capt. Jones: Yeah, yeah. So, we went in… into the building. There were many of those things in there. I think they were the missing people. They were surprisingly easy to dispatch. Well, most of them at least. Some of them were still coming at us whit fucking half of their bodies gone. Sgt. ████████ discovered that they were weak to fire. He and Pvt. ██████ roasted the ones that were too dangerous to shoot.
Capt. Jones pauses again, but continues without asking.
Capt. Jones: After we had killed the things, Capt. ████████ decided that we should split up. I stupidly agreed to it. So, me, Sgt. Barnes and two other men went to the west side of the building while he and the rest went to the east side. We got attacked on the way and Barnes and I were separated from the rest. I'm glad they survived at least. We continued to wander for a while until we heard a scream. It sounded very human so we went to investigate. It had come from an empty office. So we readied our weapons and kicked the door in.
Capt. Jones pauses once again, breathing out heavily.
Dr. ███████: Do you need a break?
Capt. Jones: No, no. Thanks for the offer but I'd like to get this out from my head as quick as possible. So, we broke into the office. It was just standing there, near a dead body. It turned around right as we came in. We held our guns towards its head, I was about to call Capt. ████████ for backup when… when that thing attacked us. Barnes tried to shoot it, but… but it was too late. That… thing had already torn through his trachea. He fell to the floor, gasping for air, blood pouring out of his neck. I backed up from him and the thing… there was nothing I could have done. I almost completely lost it when that thing suddenly, without any warning absorbed his body, leaving no trace of him at all. I charged through the door we came through and shut it behind me. I- I sat there waiting for the thing to burst through the door, but instead, I heard him… Barnes, calling for help behind the door.
Dr. ███████: Did you know that it wasn't Barnes.
Capt. Jones: Yeah, of course, I did. I was just so disturbed and confused at the time that I wasn't able to think clearly. So I heard him calling for help and opened the door to the room. I saw him just standing there facing away from me. The thing, SCP-XXXX was standing further into the room. I didn't see the initial dead person, I think that goddamn thing had absorbed it already. Anyway, Barnes was just standing in front of me, I even asked his name but he didn't react at all. Then suddenly he just turned to face me. It was him but he had somehow just changed. There- there were boils all over his body and it even looked like he was partially melting. He started to slowly walk towards me, constantly muttering for help. Whit hesitation I pulled out my weapon and pointed it at him. Barnes tried to attack but I quickly pulled the trigger and shot him in the head. It burst, like a balloon, but without blood or anything. Just black liquid. His body… his body…
Capt. Jones pauses again and seemingly wipes sweat from his forehead.
Capt. Jones: His body just evaporated into black smoke… it left nothing behind of his body. It was just gone. I just stood there for what felt like forever. Then I turned to look at the creature that had killed him. it was slowly moving closer to me. Without any hesitation, I shot it straight in the head. The bullet went straight through the thing's head. It didn't even fucking flinch. For a moment it just stood there, its non-existent eyes locked onto mine. Then it just…it just…opened it's mouth. There was an eye inside its mouth. It was a goddamn human eye, but it was…glowing red. It just stood there for a few seconds before it let out a long shriek. Like multiple people, children, adults…screaming at once. I can still…I can still hear it in my fucking dreams.
Dr. ███████: Is that when the others arrived? Captain Jones?
Capt. Jones: Yes, yes…yes, they came from the door. They flamed it and it just froze in place, its mouth still open. The others caged it and moved it out of the room. I just stood there, my head pounding like hell. I think my nose was bleeding. When we exited the building, I think I threw up on the side of the walkway, I don't remember exactly. I can still hear Barnes in my head, his screams and his clone's pleas for help. You have to destroy that thing. There is something wrong with it. It should not exist.
Dr. ███████: Okay… I think this is all. You should get some rest. You're free to leave. Thank you.
Captain Jones stands up, visibly stressed out and leaves the room.
<End Log>
After the interview Captain Jones was found from his private quarters, holding a handgun, apparently considering suicide. Dr. ███████ was immediately called into the scene. She managed to talk Captain Jones out of his intentions. An immediate psychological evaluation was given to Jones, leading to the conclusion that the events during the retrieval had left heavy psychological trauma and a heavy toll on Captain Jones' psyche. It is unknown if this effect had been caused by SCP-XXXX itself. Investigation of the psychological effects caused by coming in contact with SCP-XXXX is currently ongoing.
Addendum XXXX-1: After the interview regarding SCP-XXXX's recovery, personnel responsible for the surveillance of SCP-XXXX have reported feelings of paranoia and psychological stress after observing SCP-XXXX for long periods. Personnel who haven't even come in contact with SCP-XXXX report seeing vivid nightmares about SCP-XXXX and getting the feeling of being watched. There has also been a notable increase in SCP-XXXX's escape attempts, whit the assigned observers saying SCP-XXXX sometimes disappears when both of them blink. Reclassification as a Keter class object is currently bending.
Addendum XXXX-2: The following is a file of the noted psychological effects presumed to be caused by SCP-XXXX.
- Increased tiredness and insomnia in those directly responsible for observing SCP-XXXX.
- Increased stress in all personnel working in the facility SCP-XXXX is contained in.
- Severe sleep deprivation due to constant vivid nightmares.
- Increased paranoia and irrational fear.
- Personnel report seeing SCP-XXXX in the corner of their eye or behind them in mirrors while it is not actually there.
- Widespread depression and suicidal tendencies in all personnel working in the facility SCP-XXXX is contained in.
- Violent tendencies, insanity and the irresistible desire to release SCP-XXXX from its containment in some of the personnel who have been reported to have seen SCP-XXXX in their dreams.
Addendum: Incidents involving SCP-XXXX
The following file contains all the recorded incidents and breaches involving SCP-XXXX.
Incident Log: SCP-XXXX
Addendum XXXX-3: The following is a video recording of the interview whit D-46581 who was, along with Agent █████ (who was killed by D-46581) responsible for Incident 23-01-2013/XXXX (refer to Incident Log: SCP-XXXX). D-46581 was presumably influenced by SCP-XXXX's psychological effects.
<Begin Log>
D-46581: (Mumbling to himself) You cannot keep him here forever… (Laughing) You cannot stop him…
Dr. ███████: State your designation.
D-46581: (Mumbling to himself) Do you think you can stop him?
Dr. ███████: State your designation right now. We have permission to terminate you if you do not comply with orders. I will not ask for a third time.
D-46581: I am D-46581, servant of the Commander.
Dr. ███████: Commander? Do you mean SCP-XXXX?
D-46581 doesn't answer and remains silent.
Dr. ███████: Guess that's a yes… Are you aware of what you have done? You killed four Foundation personnel alongside Agent █████, then killed him and five more on your own. Why did you do it? What caused you to try and release SCP-XXXX and kill multiple people?
D-46581: He appeared to me in a dream. He spoke to me, giving me a task. Agent █████ was also there. We needed to release him, so he could fulfill his task given by his master. I saw his eye, and immediately I realized it was necessary. I had to complete this task. After I woke up, Agent █████ let me out of my cell. We went on to complete the task that had been given and then sacrifice ourselves to his master, the Bringer of Darkness…
Dr. ███████: Wait, wait. What do you mean by "his master" and "the Bringer of Darkness?" Answer me!
D-46581: He was once just like us. A weak, foolish human. But then he found a new purpose in life. He was given a mission by the Bringer of Darkness. All the unclean life must be destroyed and replaced so the Bringer could take over the universe and bring forth the Darkness Eternal. It cannot be stopped.
Dr. ███████: What is the "Bringer of Darkness"? Or who is it? Tell me.
D-46581: You are not worthy to know! Not unless you have seen his eye. Your time is coming, everyone's is. All will not understand the eye. Like Captain Jones.
Dr. ███████: Wait a minute. Who the hell do you know that? Answer me!
D-46581 begins laughing maniacally and breaks out of his restraints, attacking Dr. ███████. Luckily, an Agent was outside the room and immediately rushed in, shooting D-46581 in the leg, causing him to let go of Dr. ███████. Before D-46581 was restrained, he manages to hit his head on the sharp corner of the table multiple times, ultimately killing himself.
<End Log>
Addendum XXXX-4: Approximately 24 hours after the interview in Addendum XXXX-4, Dr. ███████ reported a sharp headache and withdrew to her quarters. She remained there for approximately four hours before Dr. Lambert noticed her absence. Dr. Lambert and two Agents entered the quarters, finding Dr. ███████ dead, her throat cut by a bread cutting knife that was found in her hand. There were multiple bloody phrases written over the walls, presumably by Dr. ███████ herself. The phrases included, just to name a few; "the Bringer of Darkness is coming" "He must be killed" "He must be stopped" and "Our universe will end if he succeeds". A suicide note was found from Dr. ███████'s desk, written hastily with a felt-tip pen. The note reads:
If you are reading this, I have stopped myself from giving in to him it.
My head is pounding like crazy. I fell asleep, hoping it would make the ache go away. In the dream, I saw it. SCP-XXXX. He It spoke to me, demanding me to release it. I tried to wake up, but I couldn't. Then it opened its mouth. It was just as Captain Jones had described it, but more horrifying than I could have ever imagined myself. It showed me things. Our world in ruins. Never ending night filling the world. Everyone gone, wiped away or transformed. All life dead. The Eternal Darkness as D-46581 said. It was horrifying.
I woke up, head about to burst. I felt his its voice in my head, demanding me to release it and kill everyone who opposes. I cannot let that happen. I writing this note to tell you what to do. You need to kill it. Destroy it. If it gets out, and it will, it is going to fulfill its task and bring an opportunity for the Bringer of Darkness to take over the universe. We cannot hold it in forever. We need to kill it. It should NOT exist.
Sincerely,
Dr. ███████
Addendum XXXX-5: The following notice was posted on ██/██/2013 by the O5 Command.
In light of the current situation and the formidable losses and deaths, SCP-XXXX has been made eligible for termination due to the danger it poses for the Containment Facility, the Foundation Personnel working there and possibly the civilian population near the facility.
However, as of yet, no viable termination method has been found. If a way to terminate, or contain SCP-XXXX that it is not able to escape is found, it must be accomplished as soon as possible. According to the late Dr. ███████'s notes, it appears that SCP-XXXX is at least partially sentient. It is still unknown is the so-called "Bringer of Darkness" real or just a name created by SCP-XXXX's psychological effect. Whichever it is, we cannot risk it being a reality and as such, SCP-XXXX must be stopped from accomplishing its so-called "task."
Research into the possible ways to terminate or completely and effectively contain SCP-XXXX must be started as soon as possible and will be supervised by Dr. ███████'s close colleague Dr. Lambert.
— O5 Command
Notice
Viewing the following file is only authorized to Level 3 personnel and above.
Date: 16/05/2010
Event Description: SCP-XXXX broke its containment shortly after being placed into its initial chamber and left unobserved. Caused the death of three personnel before being incapacitated. The first time SCP-XXXX has shown its teleportation abilities.
Note: Special Containment Procedures updated accordingly.
Date: 30/05/2010
Event Description: SCP-XXXX escaped its containment due to the accidental neglect of containment procedures by Agent ████████. SCP-XXXX managed to kill five personnel, including the formerly mentioned and spawn four SCP-XXXX-1 instances. SCP-XXXX-1 instances terminated with relative ease but two more personnel were lost before SCP-XXXX was incapacitated.
Date: 17/06/2010
Event Description: SCP-XXXX escaped its containment. It managed to kill eight personnel and, with the help of these SCP-XXXX-1 instances, managed to get outside the facility. SCP-XXXX was shot with an explosive, causing it to lose its left arm, head, and parts of its body. The explosion killed the SCP-XXXX-1 instances but SCP-XXXX continued to attack personnel despite the damage. It was incapacitated but not before it injured five personnel. SCP-XXXX was returned to its cell where it was observed regrowing its lost portions.
Date: 08/03/2011
Note: The breach happened 24 four hours after the interview with Capt. Jones.
Event Description: SCP-XXXX escaped its containment during a fight between the personnel responsible for its surveillance. It managed to kill eleven personnel and spawn ten SCP-XXXX-1 instances. The instances caused the deaths of four more personnel. The instances were terminated without losses and SCP-XXXX was severely damaged losing its head, both of its arms and left leg, incapacitating it. Personnel responsible for re-containing it reported hearing heavy breathing and faint whispering for several hours after returning SCP-XXXX to its cell.
Date: 10/04/2011
Event Description: SCP-XXXX escaped its containment when the surveillance personnel suddenly blacked out for an unknown reason. It managed to kill seven personnel and create six SCP-XXXX-1 instances. The containment team managed to terminate all SCP-XXXX-1 instances and SCP-XXXXs head. Before they managed to incapacitate SCP-XXXX all personnel in a ten-meter radius around SCP-XXXX suddenly died. SCP-XXXX was then re-contained successfully. Autopsies on the personnel who died later revealed that their brains had been turned into black sludge presumably because SCP-XXXX was decapitated.

Event Description: DATA CORRUPTED / Error Code #49-056-A10
Date: 14/07/2011
Event Description: DATA CORRUPTED / Error Code #49-056-A10
Date: 13/08/2011
Event Description: One of the current surveillance personnel killed the other in a psychotic state and opened the airlock to SCP-XXXXs containment cell. SCP-XXXX successfully killed fifteen personnel and created fourteen SCP-XXXX-1 instances. The instances caused three additional deaths before they were terminated. SCP-XXXX was incapacitated successfully. The containment team was however attacked by the surveillance personnel who had caused the breach. He managed to kill one team member and injure another before he was terminated.
Date: 12/02/2012
Event Description: Agent █████ and Dr. ████████ broke into the surveillance room, killed the current surveillance personnel and released SCP-XXXX from its cell. Agent █████ then killed Dr. ████████ and mutilated his body. SCP-XXXX killed approximately twenty personnel and produced nineteen SCP-XXXX-1 instances. Agent █████ killed eight personnel with his personal firearm before seemingly "sacrificing" himself to SCP-XXXX by letting it kill himself. The containment team managed to kill all SCP-XXXX-1 instances and incapacitate SCP-XXXX. However, one of the re-containment team members suddenly attacked the others injuring two before committing suicide. SCP-XXXX was, despite this, re-contained successfully.
Date: 17/05/2012
Event Description: Four SCP-XXXX-1 instances were unexpectedly found in Storage Room 13. The storage room had been unused for three months. The instances immediately attacked personnel who had opened the room, killing them. Surveillance personnel on duty reported that the security cameras in SCP-XXXX's room suddenly blacked out, allowing it to escape. SCP-XXXX managed to kill eight personnel before the re-containment team arrived. The SCP-XXXX-1 instances were killed and SCP-XXXX was incapacitated and re-contained. How the SCP-XXXX-1 instances ended up in the storage room remains a mystery. Research into further abilities of SCP-XXXX is currently bending.
DATA CORRUPTED / Error Code #49-056-A10 (File Corruption)
Date: 23/01/2013
Event Description: Agent █████ and D-46581, whom Agent █████ had released from his holding cell, entered into the surveillance room and killed both current surveillance personnel and released SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX killed three personnel but was swiftly incapacitated by the re-containment team. Agent █████ and D-46581, however, attacked the team, killed two members and injured one, and stole SCP-XXXX's transport cage. After escaping, Agent █████ tried to shoot D-46581 but D-46581 managed to avoid the bullet, and in turn smash Agent █████'s head onto the floor, killing him. D-46581 then escaped, leaving the cage and killing five personnel using Agent █████'s handgun. He then tried to commit suicide but was stopped by Dr. ███████ (who had interviewed Capt. Jones), who knocked him unconscious with a wrench. An interview was conducted on D-46581 (see Interview XXXX-2 of the SCP file).
Containment Class:
euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is currently housed in a Standard Humanoid Containment Cell. SCP-XXXX may submit requests for items such as furnishing and entertainment items. All requests should be approved by at least two Level 3 Personnel.
As of 10/04/2019, SCP-XXXX has requested:
- One Standard work desk with a lamp and a chair. — Approved
- A medium-sized bookshelf, filled with assorted Fantasy and Science-Fiction themed books and two Physics books. — Approved
- Two notebooks, a regular supply of standard A4 Size paper, and various writing and drawing supplies. — Approved
- Regular lunches in the Facility Cafeteria. — Denied
- Regular meetings with Dr. Hanson. — Initially Approved, Denied as of 13/06/2019 (See Addendum XXXX-5)
Each month SCP-XXXX must be transported to a separate unfurnished Containment Cell before event SCP-XXXX-Alpha occurs. The walls of the cell should be made from layers of re-enforced concrete, acid-resistant steel, and fire-proof material. The entrance to the cell should be an acid- and blast-resistant steel door. The door, while SCP-XXXX is inside, is to be locked at least until it is confirmed to be not hostile. Security cameras in this separate cell should be monitored for the next 24 hour period until SCP-XXXX turns back to normal. Two guards, armed with tranquilizers and if needed, normal weaponry, should be positioned outside the cell until SCP-XXXX has returned to a completely safe state. After 24 hours, SCP-XXXX is returned back to its cell until the next occurrence of SCP-XXXX-Alpha.
Update: As of 13/10/2019 SCP-XXXX should be monitored at all times. Any changes in the behavior of SCP-XXXX should be immediately reported to Dr. Rockford.
Description: SCP-XXXX has the appearance of a Caucasian male in their mid-twenties. The subject is 196 cm in height and weighs approximately 75 kg. The subject has brown hair and sky-blue eyes. A tattoo, depicting an unknown entity with the roman numerals III/X under it is located on the subject's left forearm. When questioned about its origins, SCP-XXXX claims to not remember where they got it.
SCP-XXXX claims their name to be Brian Carver, although no information on such a person ever existing has been found. When asked about this SCP-XXXX didn't know any information on the matter.
Each month, on a specific date only SCP-XXXX can predict, SCP-XXXX goes through a complete metamorphosis event (designated SCP-XXXX-Alpha). This causes SCP-XXXX to transform into a form completely different from their general one. How this happens is currently unknown, but the subject claims the process is very painful. These metamorphoses, for the most part, cause very notable behavioral changes in SCP-XXXX. In certain cases, it appears that the transformation affects the intelligence of the subject, as when in specific forms, SCP-XXXX appears to only operate on pure instincts. After 24 hours, SCP-XXXX's transformation reverses, causing the subject to revert to its general form. Subject, after the reversal, has only small recollections of their actions when transformed. The forms repeat but not after already manifesting the previous time SCP-XXXX-Alpha took place.
Addendum XXXX-1: The following is a list of some of the transformations experienced by SCP-XXXX. (Note: This is not a complete list of SCP-XXXX's transformations. For further information refer to Document XXXX-3.) The list contains the first eight observed and the most repeated forms. SCP-XXXX has had seventeen (see Addendum XXXX-4) eighteen different forms observed. These instances are designated as SCP-XXXX-Ax
- SCP-XXXX-A1: Subject took the appearance of an entity entirely composed of molten magma and volcanic rock, taking on a humanoid form. How it kept this appearance is unknown. The subject behaved very similarly to normal SCP-XXXX. They warned the people to not approach and assured that this was normal. The subject was capable to talk without any observed means. This was the first form observed and what got the attention of the Foundation in the first place.
- SCP-XXXX-A2: Subject took the appearance of a normal male german shepherd. The subject was behavior-wise very similar to a normal german shepherd if a bit more intelligent. It was unable to any forms of communication outside that of normal to the species.
- SCP-XXXX-A3: The subject took the form of a human female with golden hair and yellow, luminous eyes. The subject appeared to be very intelligent, even more so than SCP-XXXX normally is. They were capable of moving objects without touching them and telepathic communication.
- SCP-XXXX-A4: Subject took the appearance of a gelatinous mass of slime able to take a humanoid form for limited periods before collapsing. The substance the subject was composed of showed very strong acidic properties. It showed intelligence similar to a four-year-old child. Behavior was very playful and it seemingly didn't realize it's properties.
- SCP-XXXX-A5: Subject took the appearance of a roughly 3 meter tall vaguely reptilian creature, with sharp, 25 cm claws and dagger-like teeth. The subject was very aggressive, attacking staff it came across by clawing and biting them. The intention of the subject was unknown but it appeared to attack only to injure, not to kill. The subject was successfully sedated after causing the injury of 5 staff members.
- SCP-XXXX-A6: Subject took the appearance of a humanoid entity with green, glowing eyes, a mouth constantly hanging open and no nose, ears or hair. It had blue, slightly bioluminescent lines on some parts of the body and its body-temperature was measured at approximately -195 °C. It was also able to pass through solid objects through unknown means. The subject showed no regard for its surroundings, just walking aimlessly, freezing objects in the progress. It seemed to pointedly avoid contact with staff. No communication was successful.
- SCP-XXXX-A7: The subject took the form of a human male of the same age to SCP-XXXX. The subject had very noticeable differences to normal human anatomy, most notably having canine ears and tail. No other anomalous properties observed. The subject's behavior was remarkably similar to SCP-XXXX and stated themselves to be the same person. The subject was very affectionate to any staff member interacting with it, similar to a dog.
- SCP-XXXX-A8: Subject took the form of a human-sized insect of unknown species. It had four eyes and four wings and three claws at the end of its forelegs. The subject was able to spit thick, viscous substance at targets. Subject tried to get out of the cell and attacked staff when it managed to escape, immobilizing them with its spit but not causing any other harm.
AUDIO LOG - INTERVIEW XXXX-01:
Date: 12/08/2018 - 93 DAYS AFTER INITIAL CONTAINMENT
Interviewer: Dr. Hanson
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Foreword: The SCP-XXXX-A2, SCP-XXXX-A3, and SCP-XXXX-A4 forms had been observed during the months before this interview.
[BEGING LOG]
Dr. Hanson: Hello SCP-XXXX, how are you today?
SCP-XXXX: Fine. Arguably the best I've been in a long time.
Dr. Hanson: Well, that is good to hear. Mind if I ask you some questions?
SCP-XXXX: No, not at all. That's what interviews are for, right? (laughs) Yeah, go on ahead.
Dr. Hanson: Okay, first things first: Who do you think yourself to be? Name and other things like that. I'll be marking the information down.
SCP-XXXX: Okay. How do I start? (pauses for a few seconds) Well, I call myself Brian Carver. I'm 26 years old, I think? I'm not sure. (pauses) And that's all I can remember off the top of my head. Sorry.
Dr. Hanson: (writes on paper) Is that really all you can remember?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, sadly. As much as I'd like to help you as much as possible I'm unable to.
Dr. Hanson: That's okay. Next question: When did your anomalous properties first manifest? Do you remember?
SCP-XXXX: I don't know. I have had these "properties" for as long as I remember. Which isn't much to go by, in my opinion at least. And before you ask, I don't know the meaning of the tattoo on my forearm nor where it came from. I have an idea but I don't find it good to tell you before I am sure.
Dr. Hanson: Oh, well— let's skip that question then. Now the final one for today.
SCP-XXXX: Go on ahead.
Dr. Hanson: Do you remember anything about your actions during the SCP-XXXX-Alpha event? You don't have to tell if you don't want to do so just yet.
SCP-XXXX: (pauses but continues before Dr. Hanson can talk again) I have— recollections. A few fragments and pieces. Mostly from when I am presumably the most myself.
Dr. Hanson: What do you mean by that?
SCP-XXXX: I'm not sure. I myself have a theory that most of the things I turn into are some part of my own psyche. I'm not sure. But I remember most of my actions when I am the first eight forms. Some whom you have not seen yet.
Dr. Hanson: Can you tell me about those we haven't seen yet.
SCP-XXXX: Somehow I am unable. Don't know why. I wish I could prepare you for what's to come but I just can't.
Dr. Hanson: That's okay. Anything else you could tell?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah, the next time I transform will be in seven days. So, just a head's up.
Dr. Hanson: Thank you. You'll be escorted back to your cell.
SCP-XXXX: Thanks.

Addendum XXXX-2: On 16/08/2018, at approximately 12:34, SCP-XXXX suddenly collapsed whilst pacing around their cell. Two guards and Dr. Hanson were called on the scene. SCP-XXXX was unconscious for about eight minutes before they awakened. SCP-XXXX briefly spoke a few phrases in an unknown language before returning to normal. SCP-XXXX suffered a minor concussion from hitting the floor.
AUDIO LOG - INTERVIEW XXXX-02:
Date: 19/08/2018 - 100 DAYS AFTER INITIAL CONTAINMENT
Interviewer: Dr. Hanson
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A3
Foreword: First full interview with an SCP-XXXX form able to communicate fully.
[BEGING LOG]
Dr. Hanson: Good day… um…
SCP-XXXX-A3: Oh, you can call me "XXXX" or "A3" if you like. Although he would prefer if you called me "Linda." I don't really care.
Dr. Hanson: Well, I'm just going to call you A3 for clarity.
SCP-XXXX-A3: Whatever you like. So, what are we doing here?
Dr. Hanson: I'm going to ask you a few questions. Should we begin?
SCP-XXXX-A3: Go on ahead.
Dr. Hanson: So first: what do you mean by "him?"
SCP-XXXX-A3: Well, the — ugh, I hate the use of this word — the normal me. Let's just call him Brian as he refers to himself. His normal self, not mine. This is my body.
Dr. Hanson: Well, um — I just wanted clarification. Continuing on. (shuffles papers) Who do you see yourself as? What is your identity?
SCP-XXXX-A3: I see myself as me. I don't think like the Others. They are either an extension of his personality or just things that cannot control or understand themselves. I am not like that, as I already stated. I see myself as unique to the Others. And I remember.
Dr. Hanson: What do you mean 'I remember?'
SCP-XXXX-A3: I remember the Others. You know, we have his memories. When we emerge, either of us, we have his memories. What he has experienced and done before he becomes, you know, one of us. And you already know he remembers fragments of what we do. Those, like me, remember it all, those, like the Good Dog — as I call him — only remember tiny little pieces and fragments. But we don't share memories. We don't remember each other, except me. I remember them all, every little thing that any of us have experienced. From all of us.
Dr. Hanson: Are you able to tell us what other forms SCP-XXXX could become?
SCP-XXXX-A3: Maybe I am, maybe I'm not. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell. There needs to be something for you to learn. I know how you work. I've read the minds of everyone in this facility. All that information. Now you don't have to worry, I won't tell anyone. Not even him. When he passed out that one time, I accidentally let all the information and memories I have into his mind. He quickly forgot it all before it was able to fry his brain. However, I have refrained from reading your deepest secrets and personal wishes or regrets. That's not what I want. Any more questions?
Dr. Hanson: Uh, no. That is all for today. You are free to leave.
SCP-XXXX-A3: Thanks. See you when I appear again.
Subject leaves the room.

AUDIO LOG - INTERVIEW XXXX-03:
Date: 20/08/2018 - 101 DAYS AFTER INITIAL CONTAINMENT
Interviewer: Dr. Hanson
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Foreword: Following SCP-XXXX's claim of identity during Interview XXXX-01, no record of the person it claimed itself to be was found.
[BEGING LOG]
Dr. Hanson: Hello, SCP-XXXX. How are you today?
SCP-XXXX: Fine, I guess. Still a little dizzy. I was Linda again yesterday, wasn't I?
Dr. Hanson: Yes. I did an interview with SCP-XXXX-A3. But enough about that for now, I'd like to ask you some questions again.
SCP-XXXX: Okay, go on ahead.
Dr. Hanson: When we last time spoke, you claimed to be a Brian Carver. Now, we searched for that name but found no records. Nothing, it's like the person you say you are didn't even exist. Could you explain that?
SCP-XXXX: What? I-I don't understand. Are you sure there aren't any records?
Dr. Hanson: Yes, we're sure. Don't worry though. Maybe they just got accidentally deleted.
SCP-XXXX: You're just saying that to make me feel better.
Dr. Hanson: Yes. Don't worry, we'll double-check, just in case. Maybe there is something we missed.
SCP-XXXX: Maybe — or maybe not. Does it really matter anymore?
Dr. Hanson: You can always hope for the best. (shuffles papers) Actually, that is all the questions I have for this session. Do you have something you want to ask?
SCP-XXXX: No. Maybe some other time.
Dr. Hanson: Well, in that case, we are done here.
SCP-XXXX: Thank you.
[END LOG]
Addendum XXXX-3: The following is a statement from Dr. Hanson following multiple interviews with SCP-XXXX.
Following my interactions with SCP-XXXX and also SCP-XXXX-A3, SCP-XXXX-A7 and many other communicative forms, I've come up with a theory. I have had this theory in mind for a long time after SCP-XXXX-A3's first interview where she stated that the "Others" are extensions of SCP-XXXX's personality. The theory is that SCP-XXXX is suffering from "Dissociative Personality Disorder" and manifests it as SCP-XXXX-Alpha. Whenever a different personality takes over, it somehow transforms his body to reflect that personality.
There are still a few unclear things: why doesn't a record about Brian Carver exist or what is the cause of his anomalous properties. I need to speak to SCP-XXXX more about these topics.

Addendum XXXX-4: Incident XXXX-01
On 14/01/2019, during SCP-XXXX-Alpha, SCP-XXXX transformed into a humanoid entity covered in several spikes, sporting sharp claws and teeth and capable of mutating its limbs into bladed weapons. Entity now designated as SCP-XXXX-A18. It managed to escape the cell, killing the guards, before attacking other members of the staff, killing three and injuring ten before being tranquilized. This is the first instance of an SCP-XXXX-Ax instance having the intent to kill. When the 24 hour period had passed and SCP-XXXX had returned to normal, an interview was conducted by Dr. Rockford. When questioned about what SCP-XXXX remembered of SCP-XXXX-Alpha, they said not to remember anything, not even a fragment, of the past 24 hours. SCP-XXXX was not given information regarding the events and was returned to its cell. Dr. Hansen was also informed of the incident.
AUDIO LOG - INTERVIEW XXXX-04:
Date: 29/05/2019 - 383 DAYS AFTER INITIAL CONTAINMENT
Interviewer: Dr. Hanson
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX
Foreword: After Incident XXXX-01, SCP-XXXX appeared to fall into a slightly depressed state, unable to explain why. SCP-XXXX was not told about Incident XXXX-01. After SCP-XXXX requested their regular meetings with Dr. Hanson, their mental health started to increase and it was observed to be much happier. The following audio was recorded during one of these meetings.
[BEGING LOG]
Dr. Hanson: Hello SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX: Morning Dr. Hanson. Good to see you today.
Dr. Hanson: Same. How are you today?
SCP-XXXX: Very fine. Fine as I've ever been.
Dr. Hanson: Well, that is good to hear. I don't have any questions for today as nothing new has come up, but do you instead have any of your own? Requests for items or something else?
SCP-XXXX: Well— Uh, I'm not sure— I don't want to leave this so short though, so— (pauses for a few seconds) When I transformed those few months ago. During the event. Did— did I kill anybody? I cannot even remember what I turned into. More than that — have I killed anybody during some other event? I don't — I don't know what I'll do if I have. I just need to know.
Dr. Hanson: (stays silent for a couple of seconds) No — No you haven't. During every instance of SCP-XXXX-Alpha, you haven't caused anyone's death.
SCP-XXXX: Oh, that's a relief. Thank you. (pauses) You know — thank you for something else too.
Dr. Hanson: And what might that be?
SCP-XXXX: Thank you for being here for me. Having these conversations has made me realize that before this I was very lonely. No friends, no one to care about me. But I don't feel lonely anymore. Now there is someone to talk to other than myself. Thank you.
Dr. Hanson: (stays silent for a second) You're — you're welcome. Are we done for today?
SCP-XXXX: Yes. (chair is heard moving as SCP-XXXX stands to leave) See you tomorrow.
[END LOG]
Addendum XXXX-5: Following Interview XXXX-04, Dr. Rockford sent the following message to Site Director of Site-██.
From: Sn. Researcher Rockford
To: Site Director ██████████
Subject: Emotional Attachment
Attached to this e-mail is an Audio Log recorded during one of Dr. Hanson's daily interactions with SCP-XXXX. This has given me a reason to believe that Dr. Hanson is forming an emotional attachement to SCP-XXXX. While being unprofessional it might also lead to Dr. Hanson releasing SCP-XXXX in the forseeable future. We cannot allow that to happen. All the evidence points towards this posibility.
I hereby request Dr. Hanson be relieved of her duties for a month before being returned to duty and re-assigned to a different SCP or if required, an office job.
Dr. Rockford
Senior Researcher at Site-██
Sent 12/06/2019 - via SCiPNet
Dr. Rockford's request was granted on 13/06/2019.
Addendum XXXX-6: After Dr. Hanson's re-assignment SCP-XXXX's mood went down exponentially. SCP-XXXX does no longer talk to the staff unless announcing the time of the next SCP-XXXX-Alpha event. Another notable thing is that some of the SCP-XXXX-Ax instances have become even more hostile. During the months following Dr. Hanson's re-assignment, many of the hostile entities have been able to escape more often and appear to cause serious injuries to even more site staff than the previous escape attempts prior to 13/06/2019.
VIDEO LOG - INTERVIEW XXXX-05:
Date: 08/07/2019 - 423 DAYS AFTER INITIAL CONTAINMENT
Interviewer: Dr. Rockford
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-A3
Foreword: The interview was conducted to ask reasons for SCP-XXXX's now abnormal behavior. The following footage was taken from the security camera of Interrogation Room 3.
[BEGING LOG]
Dr. Rockford and SCP-XXXX-A3 are sitting in the room, opposite of each other. SCP-XXXX-A3 has a slightly angry scowl.
Dr. Rockford: Hello, SCP-XXXX-A3.
SCP-XXXX-A3: What do you want?
Dr. Rockford: I want to talk. Ask some questions.
SCP-XXXX-A3: Oh really? Well then, get on with it.
Dr. Rockford: What is the reason SCP-XXXX refuses communication? If you supposedly remember everything, you'll have the answer.
SCP-XXXX-A3: (taps on the table with a finger) What is the reason? That's what you wanna know. Well, I have the answer to you; he doesn't want to. Not after what you did. (stands up and slams both hands on the table in anger) He feels you broke his heart! Tell me, doctor, how would you react if you found a friend and then someone takes them away, huh!? You'd be angry at that bastard and would never want to see them again. Unless you people are so cold-hearted that you wouldn't even care, there has to be someone in this damn facility that can relate to what he is feeling.
The lamps of the room are noted to flicker and start swinging without any input.
Dr. Redford: Calm down A3 or I'll call security.
SCP-XXXX-A3: (mockingly) "I'll call security." Yeah, try it. Your security wouldn't be able to do shit to me.
The lamps start flashing rapidly and the papers on the table are blown about even though there is no wind.
SCP-XXXX-A3: I'm more powerful than you can imagine. I would just need to snap my fingers and your precious guards would have their fucking brains blown all over the damn walls. I could rip them apart with a single flick of my fingers and I could fry their brains until their eyes melt with a single glare. You can't do anything to me even if you tried. You know what? I could just, even now, blow you into so many pieces that it would take the cleaning staff years to find them all.
The items in the room calm down
SCP-XXXX-A3: But I won't. (sits down) You know why? I'm not that kind of a person. I don't kill unless it's absolutely necessary. But I'm still angry. I'm upset. And I'm not gonna forgive so easily. From this point onward, all of your wishes, all of your darkest fantasies, all of your deepest regrets, are mine. I know them all. Nothing will be a secret to me. Nothing.
SCP-XXXX-A3 taps its temple.
SCP-XXXX-A3: And don't try me. Or the Others. If you do, I'll make sure everyone in this facility will be punished.
The camera gets disrupted as SCP-XXXX-A3 snaps their fingers, creating a medium-sized flame between their thumb and index finger and causes the lights to flicker. It is to be noted that all personnel in the entire facility complained of a severe headache. At the same time, a filing cabinet in Dr. Rockford's Office suddenly burst into flames.
SCP-XXXX-A3: Keep that in mind doctor. (blows the flame out) Goodbye.
SCP-XXXX-A3 stands up and leaves the room, slamming the door behind them, causing the window on the door to shatter.
[END LOG]
Addendum XXXX-7:
In light of recent events, and the apparent power that has been revealed that SCP-XXXX-A3 possesses, any changes in the behavior of SCP-XXXX must be reported to me. Try to be careful as it seems the SCP-XXXX has decided to see us as the bad guys and the slightest provocation might cause SCP-XXXX-A3 to endanger the entire site. We cannot let that happen.
