Item #: SCP-40??

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-40??'s chamber must have an infrared camera installed and monitored 24/7. SCP-40?? Is to be contained in a 5x5x5 meter container, resistant to any bending or breakage. The outside of its container must have electricity flowing at 75,000 volts. The door to SCP-40??'s containment MUST not have any gaps as it can slip through these areas. A weekly inspection of SCP-40?? must be conducted for any cracks and holes in the container. A temporary container can be provided to aid in recontainment. This temporary container is to be designed to force SCP-40?? into the shape of the container.

In event of SCP-40?? breaching containment, all personnel are required to report any strange behavior from any other personnel immediately such as lack of speech, extra or missing parts, and irregular body movement, assuming it did not touch one of the electrified walls. If SCP-40?? takes on the shape of an inanimate object, Personnel are to search for an object in unusual places (See Addendum 40??-2.) When in transport for testing, SCP-40?? must be stunned and secured within a Class IV Restriction Harness, SCP-40?? must be monitored by no less than four guards.

Description: SCP-40?? in its true from a pale bipedal reptilian approximately 3.35 meters long and weighs 113.4 kilograms. SCP-40?? has four tendrils on its back. The longest always being equal length to the tail of SCP-40?? with the last three tendrils varying in lengths.

SCP-40?? is capable of changing its own color to blend with the background, rendering it invisible without infrared headgear. The speed of the color changing will vary, the change will fade into the color, other times it will be near instantaneous.

SCP-40?? has been observed to change its physical form into anything it has observed. If it were to shift into a small object, it would weigh exactly like the object in question. For example, if SCP-40?? were to change into a paper cup, SCP-40?? will weigh as said cup. Where the lost mass goes is currently unknown as it goes against the conservation of mass. SCP-40?? has been notoriously known for taking the shape of high ranking scientists or guards, making some to think it has breached containment it will however, act differently than whomever SCP-40?? has taken the form of. If SCP-40?? were to take any damage such as a burn or a cut, SCP-40?? will detach the injured part and regenerate the part. After an average of 2 months, the body part will be fully regenerated similar to that of tails of some reptile species.

On terms of intelligence, SCP-40?? is not sapient and has repetitively attempted tried to breach containment by repeating it's successful breaches expecting to break free.

Acquisition: SCP-40?? was brought to the Foundation's attention on ██/██/19██ when CCTV footage showed an amorphous entity attempt to break into a building by taking the form of an employee (assumingly to find food) but struggling to get passed a keycoded door. Frustrated, SCP-40?? grumbled and took to its true shape. SCP-40?? was recovered in the form of a domestic house cat and was caught mid transition in previously given form. SCP-40?? has since been taken into the Foundation's custody.

Incident Report-40??-1 On: ██/██/20██ SCP-40?? breached containment by expanding itself until the door burst open killed █ and injured ██ people. SCP-40?? attempted to impersonate Dr. ████. Electric and bend resistant walls have been added since this event to incapacitate it and prevent a future breach.

Incident Report: SCP-40??-2 On ██/██/20██, SCP-40?? Changed its skin to appear invisible. Upon the door being opened, SCP-40?? has escaped, and disguised itself as a coffee mug found in the armory. SCP-40?? was found and re-contained approximately 46 minutes later.
