Description: SCP-301 is an elf from the famous toy ''Elf on the Shelf.'' SCP-301 was not classified as an SCP until ████ ██████ called the police and told them that their Elf on the Shelf toy was attacking his daughter. The police ignored the request as it was obviously unbelievable. The SCP Foundation arrived to the scene, and collected the toy at the location in ███ ████. The daughter and ████ ██████ were found dead at the scene with multiple lacerations and cardiac arrests.

No physical contact is to be made with SCP-301 without full atmosphere-containment suit and eye shield. No eye contact is to be made with SCP-301 for any reason. Any objects given to personnel by SCP-301 may be removed, but must be given to quarantine for examination. Only one (2) members of personnel may be present in the room at any given time and must be secured by a safety line of steel cable. All personnel must be removed from SCP-301's containment chamber within 10 minutes of entering.

If any personnel enter that is above the age of 5, will have to be removed in less than 10 minutes and be quarantined. Any personnel who are in the chamber for more than 10 minutes will begin to rapidly become irrational, paranoid, and homicidal. Any personnel who begin to scream, or become irrational, paranoid, and homicidal are to be removed and quarantined. Most, if not all, of these feelings will be directed at SCP-301, and afflicted subjects will attempt to kill SCP-301 after first killing or driving off all humans visible to them. Those attempting to kill SCP-301 will suffer massive heart attacks or seizures and die seconds after doing any physical damage to SCP-301. SCP-301 will regenerate almost instantaneously from any wound, regardless of severity. On █/██/█0, it was discovered that those with homicidal, irrational, and paranoid feelings due to SCP-301 may also spread the same feelings to others, therefore anyone under the homicidal, irrational, and paranoid feelings induced by SCP-301 are instances of SCP-301-1.

During the Christmas holiday, SCP-301 will completely be passive, and social. Any personnel who speak to SCP-301 will feel happy and feel Christmas spirit, even if known to not celebrate Christmas. Effects of staying with SCP-301 for a prolonged amount of time during the holidays will cause enter an age regression in terms of mentality and behave like children. These effects are known to be permanent as of █/█/█4
