Special Containment Procedures: SCP-620-L is currently uncontained. Containment efforts should be focused on detecting potential SCP-620-L attacks as well as the development of permanent and complete containment of the anomaly.
All sites deemed susceptible to attack from SCP-620-L are to proceed to a daily check of all staff in order to check for potential SCP-620-L infiltration. This is to be done using Procedure SOMETHING-HERE. Procedure SOMETHING-HERE has been discontinued. As such, alternate methods to detect SCP-620-L are being developed. In the meantime, all concerned staff members are encouraged to report any suspicious behaviors to their superiors.
In the event of SCP-620-L being detected inside a Foundation site, the site in question is to be evacuated and cryonic weaponry is to be used in order to either terminate or incapacitate SCP-620-L. Should this prove impossible or ineffective, MTF Nu-7 ("Hammer Down") and MTF Eta-10 ("See No Evil") are to be sent to the affected areas. The use of low-scale nuclear weaponry is permitted.
Description: SCP-620-L is an unknown entity/phenomenon which inhabits or affects animal cadavers, with its main target being human cadavers. The identity of SCP-620-L has been impossible to determine, as the entity has failed to show up in any methods of detection available to the Foundation. Cadavers affected by SCP-620-L are physically indistinguishable from regular, live humans other than in their behavior. As a result, it is unclear if SCP-620-L is an entity or a phenomenon. This article will mostly assume the former for the sake of simplicity.
Cadavers inhabited by SCP-620-L (referred to as SCP-620-L1 instances from this point on) will begin moving on their own, regardless of the current biological possibility of these movements, be it due to damaged muscles or the damage that certain of those movements would inflict. SCP-620-L1 instances will attempt to imitate human behavior as closely as it can. SCP-620-L's limited intelligence, however, makes these attempts relatively inconsistent, as it is unable to form coherent sentences and might even fail to arrange its own body in order to match human biology.
Due to these characteristics, SCP-620-L1 instances are effectively immune to poisons and biological weapons of most kinds. Instances will also be unimpeded by damage to their organs that would prove lethal or incapacitating to non-anomalous humans. The only way to incapacitate an SCP-620-L1 instance is through directly preventing movement on a mechanical level. Cryogenics weapons are the most effective methods known to be capable of this.
Once SCP-620-L1 instances have successfully infiltrated a group of humans, it will become hostile and greatly change its physical structure. In most cases, SCP-620-L will rearrange SCP-620-L1 instances into a tripedal form with severely misplaced organs and limbs. In extended hostile encounters, SCP-620-L1 instances will change their structure again to resemble a humanoid entity with no skin and an appendage resembling a spiky mace on one of their arms. SCP-620-L will attempt to terminate humans it sees through physical blows using its various limbs, with its humanoid form capable of manifesting various weapons through its own flesh and of launching bone splinters at high speeds in order to do so.
SCP-620-L1 instances possess extreme physical strength, capable of easily killing humans as well as destroy heavily armored vehicles. No known material has been capable of withstanding SCP-620-L1 instances attacks. This strength also results in SCP-620-L1 being extremely durable, being immune to firearms, explosives, as well as any other form of physical damage. The only physical weapons known to be capable of damaging an SCP-620-L1 instance are nuclear weapons or high-grade non-nuclear explosives.
The body used by SCP-620-L1 instances degrades at an abnormally high rate and will become unusable by SCP-620-L in the span of a few days. When this happens, SCP-620-L will seek living humans to terminate them and [DATA EXPUNGED], taking over the cadaver of the victim as the new instance of SCP-620-L1.
As with other anomalies of the -L series, SCP-620-L possesses a cognitohazardous effect as well as an unknown degree of metaphysical permanence. The former manifests as a visual cognitohazard that affects direct observations of SCP-620-L1 instances, as well as depictions in videos or photographs. Sentient beings affected by this cognitohazard will feel sudden, extreme fear, regardless of their personality or previous state of mind. The extent of this fear varies depending on the individual's resistance to cognitohazards. Subjects with a low resistance to cognitohazards will be instantly incapacitated and will often seek ways of committing suicide, while subjects with high resistance to cognitohazards will only report mild nervousness when faced with SCP-620-L1. This cognitohazard will only take effect with SCP-620-L1 instances having changed their structure to the point of being unrecognizable as a human being. As SCP-620-L is naturally resistant against most known mind-affecting anomalies and memetic hazards, it is also unaffected by its own cognitohazard.
The latter manifests after SCP-620-L sustain a certain amount of damage. When this occurs, SCP-620-L and its current instance of SCP-620-L1 will demanifest from the immediate area after a few minutes. While the exact nature of SCP-620-L-'s reappearance is unclear as of now, it will always result in SCP-620-L being spotted in the surrounding region of where it was incapacitated. As a result of this, termination of SCP-620-L is impossible through means currently available to the Foundation. SCP-620-L frequently exploits this and will self-terminate if it has been caught or incapacitated in a non-lethal way in order to avoid capture or escape containment. This has made the containment of SCP-620-L extremely difficult with current methods.
Discovery: On [date], a wormhole later found to originate from SCP-████-L was created near Site-██. SCP-████-L emerged from it, as well as several unidentified individuals. SCP-████-L vanished through another wormhole and a group of field agents led by Agent Taylor Moore was sent to assess the situation. Shortly after the group of individuals was apprehended, all communications with the field agents were lost. Approximately 10 minutes later, Agent Taylor Moore entered Site-██ alone. The following is a transcript of the recording of the events that took place:
<Begin Log>
(Agent Taylor Moore stumbles forward.)
Agent Taylor Moore: (Moore notably speaks in wildly different tones and pitch of voice with nearly every sentence) Hello… Hello! How may I help you? I haven't been expecting you.
Officer ████: Moore? What happened? Where is the rest of the group?
Moore: Help! I love you, I love you. Manager! Manager! Open the door! (Moore takes several steps forward, visibly struggling to keep her balance.
Officer ████: (Backs off a few steps back and takes his radio) Officer ████ here, we might be having a situation. Agent Taylor Moore is acting out and-
(Moore's neck suddenly snaps, with her head rotating 180° and ending up upside down. Her rib cage opens up, causing several internal organs to hang from her body. Her upper body bends forward as her ribs plant themselves on the ground, making her adopt a semi-quadrupedal stance.)
Moore: Train to Hell, what went wrong? Help! As per the Foundation's protocols. Together, we are one!
Officer ████: J-Jesus Christ! Scratch that, we have an anomaly near the front doors, I repeat, we have an anomaly near the front doors!
(One of Moore's arm retract back into her body before bursting out of her neck. Her ribs, remaining arm, and legs start moving together in a fashion similar to running, causing Moore to approach Officer ████.)
Officer ████: Shit! Send somebody in, quick!
(Officer ████ grabs his pistol and fires at Moore. The impacts do not slow down her approach. Moore's jaw unhinges as she lunges at Officer ████. Her ribs close around him as her hand starts clawing at the skin of his face. Moore proceeds to tear apart and consume Officer ████'s body.)
Moore: (Appears to be imitating Officer ████'s voice) Skin, shell… Send somebody! Scratch that, Agent Taylor Moore is acting out…
<End Log>
Addendum 620-L.1: In order to facilitate the detection of SCP-620-L1 instances, Procedure SOMETHING-HERE was developed. The procedure consists of exposing all staff members to a specific Foundation-made cognitohazard. This cognitohazard has no effect other than forcing those affected by it to stop all voluntary movements for a period of 5 seconds. As SCP-620-L1 instances are immune to such cognitohazard, this allows them to be easily detected. On [date], an SCP-620-L1 instance attacked Site-██, causing ██ causalities among Foundation staff. This attack occurred due to the SCP-620-L1 instance taking the shape of one of the employees before becoming hostile while inside the Site itself, despite the usage of Procedure SOMETHING-HERE before the attack. Security footage has shown the SCP-620-L1 instance in question being affected by the cognitohazard of the procedure.
While initially thought to be a sign of SCP-620-L becoming vulnerable to memetic hazards, future encounters with SCP-620-L have proven this theory wrong. It is instead now believed that SCP-620-L learned the behavior of humans when faced with this cognitohazard and has adapted its behavior to match a human's. This new development has rendered Procedure SOMETHING-HERE obsolete and it has therefore been discontinued.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-666-L does not exist yet. Containment of SCP-666-L consists of preventing further BAPTISM events from SCP-616-L, as well as limiting access to information about SCP-666-L. Information about SCP-616-L should not make any mention about SCP-666-L.
Individuals targetted for a BAPTISM event by SCP-616-L are to be detained and prevented from reaching SCP-616-L at all costs. They are to be kept alive as long as possible, with termination considered a last resort. Upon the death of the current BAPTISM event target, the next target is to be located and detained as soon as possible. Non-essential individuals who have successfully been through a BAPTISM event are to be terminated and their bodies kept in reinforced frozen storage in Area-49.
In the event of an 11th BAPTISM event occurring, SCP-616-L is to be relocated to Area-60 and all interactions or testings with it are to be forbidden. Foundation forces as a whole must be prepared for the eventual manifestation of SCP-666-L and for warfare against it.
Operation ANTICHRIST is to be executed the moment SCP-666-L manifests.
Description: SCP-666-L is a theoretical anomaly born from the progress of SCP-616-L's BAPTISM events. While SCP-666-L has not manifested yet in baseline reality, information gathered from other timelines and from GoI-026 ("Lobotomy Corporation") has lead to the preemptive creation of this file.

Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-5102-L is a set of two related anomalies, SCP-5102-L-BLACK and SCP-5102-L-WHITE. SCP-5102-L instances are sapient, polymorphous entities with a passive ontokinetic effect on reality.
In a resting state, SCP-5102-L instances resemble two floating pieces of a pendant, each depicting half of the Taijitu. This state is taken when the entities are not actively looking for each other, often after a failed attempt at reaching the other. SCP-5102-L instances in this state are capable of floating up to one (1) meter above the ground, as well as communicating telepathically with beings within their line of sight. The ontokinetic effect they exhibit is still present, albeit vastly weakened.
When active, SCP-5102-L instance take on a form resembling members of the Cyprinidae family. These forms can "swim" through the air, as well as more actively use their ontokinetic abilities.

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1000-L is to be contained in a Standard Humanoid Containment Cell modified as to possess windows exposing the interior of the cell to commonly used halls of the Site it is contained in. Those windows are to be one-way as to disallow those outside the cell from observing SCP-1000-L.
Following Incident 1000-L.1, the classification of SCP-1000-L.1 has been changed to Pending while further research into its behavior and abilities is ongoing.
Description: SCP-1000-L is a humanoid entity resembling a young woman with long blue hair and a white dress. The entity holds a nail and a wooden hammer in its hands, which have been found impossible to remove from its hands due to SCP-1000-L's enhanced physical strength.
The entity shows very limited behavior, spending most of its time standing and glaring at those near it, occasionally walking up to them to observe them further. While it can react to outside stimuli, it has not answered any attempt at communication.
SCP-1000-L possesses the ability to instantly transport itself to other places. The limits of this ability have not been tested, but it has escaped any attempt to properly contain it so far. However, it only uses this ability if it has been placed in an area where it is unable to observe a variety of humans. It will then manifest in a crowded area, potentially in civil areas if no populated sites exist close to it.
Additionally, SCP-1000-L can manipulate the composition of windows within its general vicinity. It commonly uses it to alter windows to stained glass windows depicting various imagery. So far, it has manifested imagery including itself, imagery relating to GoI-026 ("Lobotomy Corporation"), an unknown brown-haired human woman, hammers and nails, the logo of the Foundation, and the kabbalistic Tree of Life, with the node representing "Keter" highlighted.
As with other anomalies of the -L series, SCP-1000-L possesses a cognitohazardous effect as well as an unknown degree of metaphysical permanence. The former manifests as a visual cognitohazard that affects direct observations of SCP-620-L1 instances, as well as depictions in videos or photographs. Sentient beings affected by this cognitohazard will feel sudden, mild fear, regardless of their personality or previous state of mind. The extent of this fear varies depending on the individual's resistance to cognitohazards. Subjects with a low resistance to cognitohazards might feel fear strong enough to induce panic and possibly a suicidal frenzy, although most subjects with higher than average resistance to cognitohazards will be left unaffected. As SCP-1000-L is naturally resistant against most known mind-affecting anomalies and memetic hazards, it is also unaffected by its own cognitohazard.
The latter manifests after SCP-1000-L sustain a certain amount of damage. When this occurs, SCP-1000-L will demanifest from the immediate area after a few minutes. While the exact nature of SCP-1000-L-'s reappearance is unclear as of now, it will always result in SCP-1000-L being spotted in the surrounding region of where it was incapacitated. As a result of this, termination of SCP-1000-L is impossible through means currently available to the Foundation.
Incident 620-L.1: On [date], at [time], SCP-1000-L manifested its first and so far only sign of aggression. Agent Mark Greens, who was visiting Site-██ for the first time since SCP-1000-L's initial containment, passed through the halls featuring SCP-1000-L's containment cell. After a few seconds of observing Agent Greens, SCP-1000-L manifested a set of two large, pale arms from the ground, using them to breach containment and attack Agent Greens. The manifested hands held up Agent Greens against the wall of the hall, allowing SCP-1000-L to use its hammer to plant nails inside his chest. It manifested a new nail each time it planted one inside Agent Greens' chest until 13 nails have been planted inside it.
Following this attack, SCP-1000-L immediately shifted back to its regular, passive behavior. An autopsy has shown that while the nails were not immediately fatal to Agent Greens, his brain had entered cerebral death before paramedics could assess his state.
For a few weeks after this incident, the windows in Site-██ were all modified into stained glass featuring the following text in red: "The guilt has been broken. Have I done a good job, father?" Study into the meaning of this message, as well as into the reason behind this unprecedented aggression, is ongoing.

Special Containment Procedures: Entrances to SCP-7777-D1 are to be locked and guarded at all times by one (1) agent. Personnel assigned to the containment of SCP-7777-D are to undergo a psychological screening for any anomalies on a weekly basis. Entering the containment unit of SCP-7777-D1 is strictly forbidden outside of checkups and permitted tests.
A checkup of the state of SCP-7777-D1 and SCP-7777-D2 is to be done on a monthly basis for any possible change in state. Interaction with SCP-7777-D2 is not disallowed but discouraged due to the psychological effects it is suspected to cause. All demands from SCP-7777-D2 to open up SCP-7777-D1 or collect instances of SCP-7777-D3 are to be denied.
All three instances of SCP-7777-D3 are kept in separate lockers within Site-██. Tests involving any instances being approached to another are to be approved by Site Director.
Description: SCP-7777-D1 is a cage approximatively 7 x 7 x 7 meters currently embedded within the underground of Site-██. The structure is made out of material superficially resembling bricks and metal bars, but corresponding to no known earthly material. A singular door comprised of vertical metallic bars directly connects to Site-██'s corridors.
SCP-7777-D1 possesses an abnormally high Hume value, at 849 Humes. This renders attempts at properly interacting with SCP-7777-D1 impossible. This has also prevented proper analysis of the interior of SCP-7777-D1, as any outside element cannot penetrate through the anomaly's external walls. Similarly, visible light cannot enter SCP-7777-D1's door properly, limiting observation of the interior to shadows visible inside the area.
The interior of SCP-7777-D1 appears to be much larger than what could be contained physically within the exterior structure. This is most evident by SCP-7777-D2's large freedom of movement within the anomaly. The true extent of this space is unknown but has been estimated to be at least 8000 m³.
SCP-7777-D2 is an unidentified sapient humanoid entity inhabiting SCP-7777-D1. Proper visualization of the entity is impossible due to the aforementioned high Hume value of SCP-7777-D1, although certain of its physical features can be deduced from shadows visible within the cage. SCP-7777-D2 appears to measure approximately 1.26 meters in height and to feature a tail ending in a perpendicular appendage. SCP-7777-D2 appears to wear heavy clothes concealing most of its physical features, including a hat stereotypically associated with medieval jesters.
SCP-7777-D2 displays several anomalous abilities, which include but are not limited to being able to levitate, the creation of temporary duplicates of the entity, the spontaneous creation of energy construct, a limited ability to change its own shape, and the ability to deamanifest and manifest in any location within SCP-7777-D2. These abilities are likely to be ontokinetic in nature, as limited observations of the interior of SCP-7777-D1 have revealed a particularly low Hume value of 14 within it. SCP-7777-D2 also does not require sustenance of any kind.
SCP-7777-D2 is capable of speech and will frequently attempt to communicate with those approaching SCP-7777-D1's entrance. Its personality is amicable yet out of touch with reality. SCP-7777-D2 claims to be free inside SCP-7777-D1 and that the outside world is "locked" away from "true freedom". Nevertheless, SCP-7777-D2 will often request its interlocutor to collect all three instances of SCP-7777-D3 in order to enter SCP-7777-D1, as it claims to be lonely. Extended communications with SCP-7777-D2 can cause several effects on the interlocutor's psyche, including increased nihilism, depression, a sense of lack of freedom, and an increased desire to collect instances of SCP-7777-D3. These effects have failed all memetic tests so far, indicating another source behind this phenomenon.
SCP-7777-D3 refers to three parts of a broken key made out of similar material as SCP-7777-D1. All three instances are inert but possess a natural above-average Hume value, at 150 Humes. This Humes value increases as the distance between the three instances or SCP-7777-D1 decreases. SCP-7777-D3's proximity with SCP-7777-D1 also causes the latter's Hume value to drop and SCP-7777-D2's activity to increase. SCP-7777-D1 claims SCP-7777-D3 to be the key to opening up SCP-7777-D2.
As SCP-7777-D2 is an unstable and poorly understood reality-bending anomaly, it has been decided to not attempt to use SCP-7777-D3 on SCP-7777-D2 under any circumstances.

SCP-7777-D1 was first noticed in Site-██'s basement on 10/31/2018, replacing an unused containment unit. In front of SCP-7777-D1 were three wooden chests each containing an instance of SCP-7777-D3, as well as a letter contained in one of the chests:
Dear whoever will receive this message,
Our world has decided that it did not want chaos. It did not want freedom. Well, that's what our king said anyway. He did not want what little freedom we had left to tempt our citizens. He did not want to give them the possibility of freedom. Hence why we have sent this thing to you.
This cage contains freedom. The embodiment of chaos. The only way out in a world where choices have been stripped away. And before the cage lays the key to open it up. It was supposed to have been destroyed but, I wanted to give the next world a chance. The possibility to choose. A slight amount of choice and freedom in this key.
However, remember that Chaos and Freedom are different sides of the same coin. Giving yourself freedom inevitably means creating chaos in the world you inhabit. Is it something you're willing to accept? If you aren't 100% confident with your answer, you better be careful with the key and the clown deep within. For he will bring both Freedom and Chaos to your world.
With my regards, an old shopkeeper from a doomed world.
While the veracity of the content of the letter hasn't been confirmed, some of it appears to be consistent with the claims of SCP-7777-D2. As such, SCP-7777-D3 instances have been contained separately.
Addendum 7777-D.1: On 11/05/2018, the first former interview with SCP-7777-D2 was conducted by Doctor █████. The following is a transcript of the event.

Doctor █████: SCP-7777-D2? Are you here?
(Sounds of several small ringings. SCP-7777-D2 suddenly manifests before Doctor █████, only visible as a shadow. The voice of SCP-7777-D2 has a notable "filter" to it that makes it similar to compressed sound files)
SCP-7777-D2: SCP-7777-D2? What a boring, boring name!
