Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: The only known way to contain SCP-XXXX is to keep it well fed. Feeding it about 17 to 25 live animals or D-Class personnel (not advised) will keep it from spreading across the containment facility. After it is full, it will return back to its interior cell and hibernate for around 5 to 7 days. A weekly supply of livestock is needed to properly contain SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX must be contained within a 13m by 13m interior cell, within a 26m by 26m exterior cell. This is so SCP-XXXX has plenty of room to hunt its prey. All decisions about SCP-XXXX need to go through lead researcher and scientist, Dr Cooper on site ██.

Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a sentient dense white fog that lives in colder climates consuming any living entity within its path. Upon entering SCP-XXXX, it’s victim immediately becomes disorientated. Visibility also becomes reduced due to the dense nature of the fog. Temperature begins at 0 Degrees Celsius; slowly decreasing the more time the victim is consumed within SCP-XXXX. The landscape inside of SCP-XXXX is Barren, with no landmarks to help show direction. The ground will be the exact same as the location of where the victim entered SCP-XXXX. If multiple victims enter SCP-XXXX at the same time, they will each appear in different locations of SCP-XXXX and will be unable to find one another. Every exit is unique to a new victim as well. Dr Cooper believes the most likely cause of death of SCP-XXXX is hypothermia, however this is still ultimately unknown.

SCP-XXXX can grow and shrink as it pleases; it has been recorded to grow up to 10 meters in length and width, while its height is never any larger than 10 feet. SCP-XXXX's minimum size is 10mm. It is clear that this is a tactic it uses to hunt its prey. SCP-XXXX can disobey gravity, usually coming from above its target for a sneak attack. SCP-XXXX can also attack its prey head on in a rampage and won't stop until it has caught up to them.

Despite it being near to impossible, there is a slight chance to escape. If a victim wants to get out of SCP-XXXX, they must find where they entered. This can be tricky, as the exit is less than a meter wide and there is no way in telling where it is, because the victim is disoriented upon entry. Space works differently inside SCP-XXXX. It is unclear why someone can walk for miles without escape, but Dr Cooper has speculated it to be a pocket dimension within our reality that producers an infinity landscape.

SCP-XXXX hibernates after it consumes around 17 to 25 live entities. When in hibernation, SCP-XXXX will turn into an Icy cocoon like state for around a week. This cocoon weighs 3.6kg and is a 20-inch white sphere. SCP-XXXX always seems to return to the last spot it hibernated at, however it has been known to move home. While in its cocoon, SCP-XXXX can be blown about by wind and storms. SCP-XXXX is stronger than steel in this state and cannot be broken.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered in 1995 by the SCP Foundation, after multiple unusual anomalies in Oymyakon, Russia. Vast disappearances kept this town’s population low, and the frequency of a dense fog caught the eyes the SCP Foundation. An armed research team arrived at the town, and everything was clear. There wasn’t any fog in sight, which made the personnel nervous. They set up a temporary site and questioned the locals of the town. It had been a few days now since they had set up camp. No signs of a fog.

On the fifth day at 1200 hours, an armed guard noticed what looked like a white river flowing towards the temporary site. He immediately alerted the others. From the recordings that were left, the fog looks sentient… like it was purposely slithering directly towards the town’s intruders. After several minutes, it had traversed throughout the whole of the site, and only the site. A few hours past, and the fog retreated back out of the town. Every living thing at the temporary site was gone without a trace.

Several days later, more SCP Personnel arrived at the camp to figure out what happened. There were no signs of life, and the local’s refused to say anything. Some personnel retrieved footage of what happened and watched as the strange fog consume the site. As soon as the fog reached the camera; the footage cut.

After several months, the SCP Foundation managed to build a more stable site and quarantine the town, preventing anyone to enter or leave it. The locals seemed to worship the fog and welcomed it every time it visited. They would talk about their need to sacrifice travellers and livestock to the fog. D-Class personnel were sent into it for experimental reasons, but only one ever returned. She described the inside, “It was just white everywhere. I felt lost, cold, confused, and paranoid. I felt like someone was following me, but no-one was ever there”. This was documented and sent back to the Dr Cooper at site ██.

The next day, the fog returned and consumed the whole town as if it came back for the escape D-Class. It left no one in the town this time apart from camera footage and research on SCP-XXXX. The SCP Foundation needed to contain SCP-XXXX. A special team of SCP Field Agents went on a mission to find out where SCP-XXXX went every week. They managed to follow it to a cave in the hills… inside this cave was SCP-XXXX in a solid Icy form. This ice ball was laying on the ground in the middle of the room. Another SCP research team soon arrived at the cave along with Dr Cooper himself and observed SCP-XXXX for hours on end. It appeared to be hibernating in a cocoon like state. After about 5 days, SCP-XXXX awoken from its cocoon to hunt for more prey. It consumed around 17 documented SCP personnel before returning to hibernate in the exact same spot. The SCP foundation then decided to take SCP-XXXX back to site ██, while it was in a solid state for a more controlled environment.

During the next few months, SCP-XXXX was contained in a 26m by 26m boxed room within site ██. D-Class Personnel would be sent into SCP-XXXX to attempt to document what it is like inside, as recording equipment doesn’t work properly while inside the fog. Some D-Class escaped and told more tales… others were never seen again and presumed dead. SCP-XXXX breached containment a few times when it wasn’t fed enough to hibernate. SCP-XXXX would seem to slither down corridors, on ceilings, or shrinking to a pea size for a surprise attack. After consuming its prey, surprising it would return back to its cell to hibernate. It had seemed to take a liking to its new home because of the amount a food it was getting for less work.
