Special Containment Procedures: SCP-8218 is to be kept in a 20x20 sq ft room in Site 134. They will be fed every 4 hours by a remote controlled robot. No human staff are allowed access, nor any tests with human D Class is allowed. Assistant Olivia "Z" Henderson will be asked to feed SCP-8218 if the robot malfunctions. If SCP-8218 ever touches a human staff or human D Class immediate termination of staff or D Class must be done. SCP-8218 will be tranquillized, followed by recontainment in Level C Hazmat Suits.

Description: SCP-8218 is an near immortal 14 year old boy from another dimension with sociopathic tendencies. Though SCP-8218 seems immortal, it has been noted that the "immortality" is a extremely unusual amount of extremely quick stem and progenitor cells. Causing no aging of cells and almost immediate regeneration of damage. SCP-8218 has been observed to talk and understand amphibians and reptiles.

SCP-8218 seems to be immune to radiation, luckily he can still be knocked out or tranq'd by usual means. SCP-8218 has stated it is the being known as "Latchas Faes" from dimension 921-B, which apparently stands for "The Demi-God of Herpetology" in his language. Upon skin contact with a living human subject, their body will begin to transform to his "servants" known as "Dravians".

Their eye sight will be greatly increased after fifteen minutes. Their skin will be covered in hot
scales after thirty minutes, the only areas that are not affected are the face, hands and feet. These scales can resist radiation, heat, and cannot be penetrated by usual means. They seem to come from a unknown creature and must be taken off a live subject with a high grade laser. Termination of a subject will cause it to disintegrate off the body. The scales are being tested as material for armor and are awaiting approval.

After fourty-five minutes, the subjects fingernails will morph into claws. Sharp as high grade military knife blades, three to four inches long when fully extended. After sixty minutes, the subjects reaction time will be increased greatly, going from two-hundred-fifty milliseconds to about hundred milliseconds.

After seventy-five minutes, the subject will release mist around it with Class F amnesic properties, After eighty minutes, the mist will take full effect. After hundred-ten minutes their strength will multiply tenfold. After hundred-twenty minutes, the transformation will be completed and the subject will be known as SCP-8218-02.

SCP-8218-02 will begin to patrol around a 100 meter area, in where any human subjects that are found will be taken back to SCP-8218 and turned into another SCP-8218-02. If the SCP-8218-02 encounters any non human threats, it will release mist. The mist has Class A amnestic properties, causing those that inhale it to forget the interaction.

Discovery: SCP-8218 was found in Northwest Field, ████. By then, multiple groups of SCP-8218-02 had existed. A massive fight between the SCP-8218-02 with MTF erupted. Ending in ███ casualties. SCP-8218 was found inside an abandoned military base. It has been noted that without proper containment or proper equipment, an SCP-8218-01 colony are almost unstoppable.

Addendum-3219-A: On 04/21██, Assistant Olivia "Z" Henderson was captured by a SCP-8218-02 after a containment breach. During her transformation, an unknown reaction in her body caused the mist with amnestic properties to not release.

After recontainment, SCP-8218 stated that Olivia is the third person to have passed this effect in his 1000 years of practice. Olivia has been blood tested, it's been noted her blood type is RH null. Possibly the reason as to why she didn't release the amnestic mist.

Note: Olivia's condition is similar to the Site Director at Site 89, both being transformed by an SCP. Moving Olivia's position to Site 89 and SCP-8218 along with her is awaiting approval. Further testing on Olivia and SCP-8218 once they are moved is required.

  • SCP-8218 displays enjoyment in the transformation of subjects, possibly to some form of sadism.
