Item #: SCP-Shem
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-Shem is to be contained on site-██ the walls and doors must not contain any metal. At least 1 level 2 researcher must be present to watch SCP-Shem at all times. once every 24 hours SCP-Shem must be fed some form of Precious stone, see Addendum-Shem-1 for full list. SCP-Shem's containment cell must have at least 1 "container" of appropriate size. These containers must have easy access and have at least 1 cubic meter in volume. SCP-Shem can be directly interacted with, but a level 3 or higher personnel must be present any time access to SCP-Shem's containment cell are opened
Description: SCP-Shem is a quadrupedal statue like organism. SCP-Shem is constructed of a variety of metals. These metals often change, most commonly after SCP-Shem has entered Dormant state. The list of metals documented include:
When Dormant SCP-Shem will become liquid and hibernate. SCP-Shem will not hibernate if it cannot find a suitable container large enough to hold it's entirety. All attempts to pour SCP-Shem out from it's container whilst hibernating have failed. SCP-Shem hibernates at seemingly random intervals. with hibernation lasting for as long as 2 months, to as short as 3 days. The time between hibernation also seems infrequent. the Longest having been 6 months, and the shortest having been 1 month.
When active SCP-Shem most commonly takes the form of a 1 meter tall, 1 meter long quadrupedal lizard with two wings, although other forms have been documented. SCP-Shem can alter it's construction at will and can restructure itself in virtually any way, given that it is rewarded.
SCP-Shem is intelligent and capable of speech, it can hold conversation and can preform high functioning mathematics, but will not comment on societal topics such as sports, fashion, industrial, or art. SCP-Shem is docile by nature and enjoys company, but has been observed attacking D-Class personnel for a variety of reasons. see Addendum Shem-2-4
SCP-Shem's diet consists of Gems, rocks, and crystals, with varying appeal and fondness see Addendum Shem-1
SCP-Shem is seemingly capable of seeing into the future, it's unknown how SCP-Shem is capable of preforming such a feat. it's also unknown how far it can see, or how much detail is viable to it. SCP-Shem has been documented changing shape into something that relates to a near future crisis, see Addendum Shem-5. It is to be assumed that all alternative forms SCP-Shem takes is a prediction to a near future event and must be reported to level 3 or higher personnel.
SCP-Shem is capable of manipulating all forms of metal, within a range of 4 meters and has been observed adding the metal to it's own, as such all D-Class personnel and Researchers are to avoid bringing any form of metal near SCP-Shem's containment cell
Addendum-Shem-1: SCP-Shem has only been observed consuming various rocks, gems, or crystals. the following are three lists of tested rocks/gems/crystals
SCP-Shem is obsessed with Emeralds and will preform most any task/request made to it if an emerald is being rewarded to it. SCP-Shem must not be given more than 3 Emeralds a week.
SCP-Shem despises Rubies. Do not bring a Ruby near SCP-Shem's containment cell as it will enrage SCP-Shem see Addendum-Shem-3
Addendum-Shem-2: 10-21-██03 D-Class personnel entered SCP-Shem's containment cell instructed to pour out the bathtub. upon tipping the tub over, SCP-Shem woke up and dismembered Test subject. SCP-Shem then returned to it's tub and resumed hibernation
Addendum-Shem-3: 8-16-██08 researcher ██████ was killed when they attempted to bring a Ruby in for meal testing. Taking note as the first time SCP-Shem showed direct immediate hostility over it's meal
Addendum-Shem-4: 5-07-██11 D-Class personnel entered SCP-Shem's containment cell with the task of educating it regarding various societal topics. D-Class subject managed to talk to SCP-Shem for four hours regarding the topics of Sports, specifically Cricket, Baseball, Soccer, and Hockey. Social media, specifically ████████ and ███████ before SCP-Shem got annoyed and dismembered D-Class subject.
Addendum-Shem-5: SCP-Shem has taken many forms through it's time spent in containment, these alternate forms are either requested by Researchers, or are natural, all natural alternate forms have been followed by a real world calamity soon after, leading to the assumption that SCP-Shem can somehow know future events. Directly confronting SCP-Shem about this yields no answers. the following alternate forms have been recorded:
04-13-██12: SCP-Shem took the form of the set to cruise Titanic
12-05-██41: SCP-Shem took the form of a Japanese Aichi Bomber
05-22-██60: SCP-Shem took the form of a seismograph
09-09-██01: SCP-Shem took the form of a commercial liner airplane
When SCP-Shem takes an alternate form it will remain that form from exactly midnight to exactly midnight. SCP-Shem refuses to interact in any way whilst in an alternate form
