Item #: SCP-xxxx
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is to be contained within a well-ventilated containment chamber on Site 28, within a raised air-dried ceramic bowl (1) meter in diameter. The subject must be provided with wood ash on a regular basis, and have the resulting products removed.
Personnel interacting with SCP-xxxx must wear standard fire protection equipment, and must avoid direct contact with provisions and the subject. If contamination is discovered, personnel must remain on-site until the new instances expire, or until containment teams arrive to resolve the issue.
Description: SCP-xxxx is a collection of unique chemical reactions, which resemble the appearance of fire, with the exception of appearing purely white in color.
The subject is able to reverse the oxidative damage (ie. from natural fire) on various solid-state objects, consuming molecules from the atmosphere and the available remnants to do so.
The duration and speed of this effect depends on the size of the object, and the complexity of its original composition. After an object has been restored, the instance of SCP-xxxx associated with it gradually expires (unless provided with more oxidized material).
When SCP-xxxx and natural fire interact with the same object, the subject is still able to reverse the damage, extinguishing the natural phenomenon in the process. How it is able to defy the second law of thermodynamics is unknown, but the consistent behavior may suggest that the subject is sentient, if not benevolent.
The subject’s anomalous effect and propagation can also occur within the burn wounds of various organisms, effectively reversing this type of injury. However, human patients experimentally treated with SCP-xxxx always report excruciating pain, and the sensation of being burned alive, despite restoration of the affected sites.
Animals treated with SCP-xxxx also display similar pain, suggesting that the restoration of burnt sensory neurons may cause this infliction. Sedatives have proven to reduce the pain caused by SCP-xxxx, though further trials have stagnated due to ethics and the potential of psychological trauma.
Experiments of SCP-xxxx with the ashes of once-living organisms are currently awaiting the approval of the O5 council.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a passcode-secured locker. There are to be absolutely no video surveillance or optical tools of any kind used to observe SCP-#### during testing. Further research requires O5 approval.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a hardcover book, approximately 3,000 pages long. Text printed on the pages are accompanied with corresponding braille. The front cover and spine feature the title “The Encyclopedia of Earth Fauna.” The publisher’s page indicates the book was printed in 20██ by █████ & ██████ Inc. No other copies of a book with that title and publisher have been found, and no record of the publishers exist.
Readers of the book (who will be referred to as SCP-XXXX-1 from here on) are instantaneously transformed into an average representative of the same gender of any animal they read about. The effect occurs the moment SCP-XXXX-1 finishes reading the entry for the associated animal, or otherwise stops reading the entry. High-speed cameras have revealed that the transition occurs in less than 1/10000th of a second, occurring in between frames.
Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 retain their intelligence and consciousness, regardless of the size, structure, or even absence of the brain in other members of their current species. This have been proven with various intelligence examinations with instances of SCP-XXXX-1.
However, instances of SCP-XXXX-1 otherwise acquire all the physical traits of their species, and can expire if not immediately introduced into an environment suiting their new requirements (ie. oxygenated water if the instance of SCP-XXXX-1 is aquatic).
The anomalous effect of SCP-XXXX is perpetuated in video recording and photographs if the text from the entries are rendered legible within the recordings. This occurs even when only portions of the entries are recorded. This effect does not occur when viewing hand-written copies.
Addendum-01: Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 that have sufficient eyesight or tactile sensation (or the equivalent) are capable of reading other entries of SCP-XXXX, and transforming into other species accordingly.
Addendum-02: An entry regarding to Homo sapiens was found on ██/██/2018. Tests have revealed that instances of SCP-XXXX-1 can be transformed into humans again. However, the subjects (who will be referred to as SCP-XXXX-2 from here on) are not returned to their original appearance, but what appears to be the average human, respective to their gender. SCP-XXXX-2 displays the following traits: [DATA EXPUNGED]. All instances of SCP-XXXX-2 possess the same genetic sequence, which is 99.99% identical to various human samples.
Addendum-03: A test involving a D-class personnel reading the entry for Homo sapiens has confirmed that even humans will transform into instances of SCP-XXXX-2.
Note: I don’t care that this book contains the information about every animal on this planet. Unless you want a containment breach to happen because some Class-D read a fucking whale entry, you’ll keep it locked up. –Dr. █████
