When forced into light SCP-XXXX has been show to under go a re-materialization event reappearing in the nearest area that is devoid of light.

[BEGIN LOG]
Dr.████████: Hello. I am Dr.████████. Are you capable of speech?
SCP-XXXX-2: Why yes.
Dr.████████: Ok then. Can you speak in your other forms?
SCP-XXXX-2: I can speak in my other forms I simply choose not to.
** Dr████████:** Ok. Why do you only materialize as a horse, crow, or human?
SCP-XXXX-2: (chuckles) Do you really think I just arbitrary choose a horse, and a human? Let me ask you this. what does a horse, and a horseman have in common?
** Dr.████████:** One rides the horse, and the other is rode. That doesn't explain why though.
SCP-XXXX-2: You think so shallowly Dr.████████. Think of me as a messenger of things to come. I show people things they can't comprehend. They panic, and I feast on their fear.
Dr.████████: A messenger for whom? What do you show them.
SCP-XXXX-2: Well if I told you what I know that would ruin the fun wouldn't it? As for whom I work for that must also remain a secret. (pauses) Let's just say I know how it all ends, and I will be in the shadows of the four.
Dr.████████: Do you mean the four horseman of the apocalypse? What do you show them?
SCP-XXXX-2: I see you're catching on doctor. As for what I show them I can not tell you. I can show you if you just open that door and come in here.
Dr.████████: I can't do that.
SCP-XXXX-2 That's a shame. You could know information to benefit your kind as a whole.
Dr.████████: I can't.
*8SCP-XXXX-2:** All is well. Anything else you want to ask so I can just go back to my cell.
Dr.████████: Do you know the true nature SCP-001?
SCP-XXXX-2: Hmm. I don't want to answer that.
[END LOG]
Closing Statement; SCP-XXXX refused to answer further questioning. It may know of the nature of SCP-001 as well as how the world itself will end. If SCP-XXXX is the courier of the apocalypse like it claims it should be made a top priority to extract what it shows it's victims.
