SCP-4709 in his containment chamber
Item#: SCP-4709
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-4709 is contained in a 10m x 10m x 10m titanium cube. It is not authorized for SCP-4709 to exit its cell without special permission. It is required to check daily for parts where light can seep through. One D-Class personnel is required to be fed to SCP-4709 weekly. In the case of a containment breach or if SCP-4709 exits its cell for any purpose, all artificial lights on site must be immediately turned off.
Description: SCP-4709 is a humanoid creature measuring approximately 2.5m tall. Its skin is charred black and its eyes appear to be standard human eyes. However, its iris' glow a bright purple. SCP-4709 is observed to wear a 1990’s era Taco Bell apron and shirt, the color of both is fading. Its body type can vary wildly depending on how much it has eaten.
In most cases, SCP-4709’s body type is observed to be thin. However, SCP-4709 slowly loses weight over time if not fed. If SCP-4709 is not fed for a prolonged period of time (approximately 10 days) SCP-4709 will become distressed and will attempt to breach containment to find a human to consume. If SCP-4709 is overfed, it will start to become extremely obese, growing to proportions that seem unrealistic. It is unknown how large SCP-4709 can get. SCP-4709 has never been observed consuming anything other than live humans. All attempts to have it eat anything other than live humans have been unsuccessful and its reason for this is still unexplained.
The process SCP-4709 undertakes for consuming humans is described as “unrealistically fast” with it only taking approximately 8 seconds to eat an average human whole. After the consumption of a human, SCP-4709 will spit out the bones, clothing, and other non-meat related items of the individual. The humans it eats are assumed to be what the ground beef inside of it is made of. Considering that SCP-4709 does not defecate, it is assumed that this is true, although this process is still not completely understood.
SCP-4709 appears to be sapient and is only able to speak after consuming a human. The effect wears off in around 5 minutes. It is theorized that SCP-4709 is able to copy the abilities of other creatures, however, a test like this was deemed too dangerous to attempt. SCP-4709 is believed to have some amount of critical thinking and is able to answer basic questions, but its usual response is the word “Beef”. It’s a semi-rare occurrence for SCP-4709 to respond with anything other than “Beef”, although its responses are very simplistic and contain many grammatical errors.
It has been found that SCP-4709 has a strong aversion towards any artificial lights. Lights considered artificial by SCP-4709 include but are not limited to: Flashlights, Fire, and Ceiling Lights, etc. In the case that SCP-4709 comes into contact with artificial light, it will become severely distressed before becoming incredibly hostile. Afterward, SCP-4709 will consume any nearby humans, it will continue to do this until it is no longer exposed to artificial light. The hunger it has while in this state is assumed to be limitless.
During Incident-4709-1-A shots were fired at the SCP, revealing its insides being made entirely of ground beef. The beef was placed into plastic bags and returned to a lab at Site-88. Upon further inspection, the beef is entirely safe to eat with the side effects of a glowing iris, and mild irritation to artificial light. These effects seem to be from the basic properties of SCP-4709. The effects wore off approximately 5 minutes after consumption.
After Incident-4709-1-A it was observed that SCP-4709 had regenerative effects. It only took approximately 3 minutes for all of the damage of its flesh to be completely regenerated. During Incident-4709-2-A, SPC-4709 broke containment and was observed to regenerate faster than usual. This, in turn, causes many to speculate that SCP-4709 has some control over these regenerative properties. Also to be noted, SCP-4709’s bones have never been damaged during any incident. It’s believed that SCP-4709’s bones are completely indestructible.
