Taken at SCP-XXXX twelfth appearance

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX at this time is uncontainable due to its anomalous properties.

All areas where SCP-XXXX manifest are to be taped off and listed as a danger to the public. 2 guards are to be placed outside the immediate area of SCP-XXXX; they are to be wearing the representative police uniforms of the country occupied by SCP-XXXX at the time to not rais suspicion by the public who tried to close to the area. All civilians who come within two miles are warned and told to turn around; if they do not heed the warning, they will be detained immediately. All the eyewitnesses that have reported the appearance of SCP-XXXX are to have a Class-D amnestic administered. As of 11/7/19██ , all researchers and MTF operatives have a psych evaluation every two years; if there are any signs of mental degradation, the person is to be designated three months leave and replaced.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid entity. Its height can be anywhere from 15 meters to 38 meters tall.
It is bipedal and is constructed out of burnt wood and ash; furthermore, SCP-XXXX has large plus small charred stumps and sticks coming out of its body¹, and It is very emaciated. It has antler-like growths on both sides of its head that can be anywhere from .9 to 1.5 meters in length, four small incisors, and two large canine-like teeth growths on the front of its face made of stone. SCP-XXXX is very fast for its size, and It has been seen to sprint up to 30 m/s in short bursts. Tho it doesn't use this speed often.

SCP-XXXX can not be killed by conventional means. Any instance where enough damage is caused to SCP-XXXX that would be fatal to another living creature, SCP-XXXX will collapse into a pile of ash and wood. SCP-XXXX will then reappear within an hour in the forest occupied at the time.

discovery: SCP-XXXX was first discovered in ████████ █████ Germany on 8/17/████ after a forest fire that burned down 74.18 km2 of forest. Reports came in of a “Sinder Elk stalking the burned-down forest.” upon which the foundation dispatched MTF Lambda-12 to the scene. MTF Lambda-12 went to quarantine the area and set up an observation area of SCP-XXXX.

Addendum-002: From 8/18/████ forward, Professor Thomas Cook will be holding a log on the studies of SCP-XXXX and its actions.

Hello, I'm Proffecer Thomas Cook, head researcher of SCP-XXXX, and today is the first day of log entries for SCP-XXXX! Woohoo!
Wait, maybe I should start over? This log is supposed to be a professional document, after all. Welp, too late!

So where to start

(Prof Cook poses for precisely 12.5 seconds)

Oh, I know! So when we got here, everything went smoothly. MTF Lambda-12 and nine other researchers, excluding myself, set up the camp, and the forest was taped off as a restricted area. But when we got to the SCP-XXXX location, it was just standing there, staring at us. Well, at least that’s what it felt like to me; anyways, SCP-XXXX hasn’t moved in the last 7 hours; we have tested² its reflexes by shooting tennis balls at it, the thing is fast for how big it is! It caught every ball we launched with precision, and after catching the ball, it just dropped it on the ground. After the test, Dr. ████, Dr. ████ , and I collected the balls, and the grey powder which came from SCP-XXXX was tested and discovered to be ash! The thing is either made of ash or just covered in it! This very interesting. We will have to collect more samples.

So today was fascinating. SCP-XXXX Started walking and haven’t stopped since 7:30 AM. It’s pretty strange like it just walks in a straight line. What is it doing? where it's going? There’s no rhyme nor reason for its actions!

We followed SCP-XXXX for 12 miles straight, and it finally stopped! But what was interesting is where it stopped; it stopped right at the border of the burned-down forest! And then it just stood there looking into the green and lush forest for 3 hours. Then it turned around and crouched down. We’ve never seen this behavior before! It crouched down and started digging in the dirt! And after searching for 30 minutes straight, it stopped and then filled the hole back in with the soil it had dug up. Then it started heading back in the direction it had come. We left some men behind to dig up the area that SCP-XXXX had dug up to see if they could find anything of importance will we headed back first to stay with SCP-XXXX³.

Welp, today was quite eventful; we had our first human test with SCP-XXXX!
And the results were fascinating. So apparently, SCP-XXXX is very fragile to human touch! I'll leave the experiment log here:

+SCP-XXXX Test Log

[Test 002-A - 8/29/████

Subject: SCP-XXXX

Procedure: D-Class 2371 set to interact with SCP-XXXX.

Results: the subject is instructed to come within 2 meters of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX does not move. The subject is instructed to go within reaching distance of SCP-XXXX. SCP-XXXX takes two steps forward, upon which the subject panics then falls over. The subject is instructed to go and touch SCP-XXXX. Personnel does not comply; a warning is given to the subject that it must comply upon which the subject does, and gets up and goes up to SCP-XXXX. The subject is instructed to touch SCP-3372 Right leg. The subject complies and touches SCP-XXXX’s right leg, upon which the leg starts to disseminate into ash, the reminisce of ash blows away. D-Class personnel instructed to come back quickly⁴.

Analysis: samples of SCP-XXXX the ash was discovered to have no significant molecular difference in it from normal ash and is completely composed of the ash in the area of its appearance. SCP-XXXX seems to be calm and docile to the point of no interaction with living things. Furthermore, SCP-XXXX is very fragile to human touch.]]

We took more samples of SCP-XXXX ash to take a more in-depth look into its makeup. There was no different from that of normal ash. Furthermore, we also discover that the ash that SCP-XXXX constructed isn't just any ash; it’s completely comprised of the ash in the forest. Isn't that interesting? And we don’t know why the DC didn’t want to follow our commands. I'll be having an interview with him soon.

Okay, what to say.
(Prof Cook pauses for 5.6 seconds)
welp, I guess I can tell you about Test A-003. We wanted to see how SCP-XXXX would respond to fiscal trauma. First, we started with a paintball gun, and there was no response or movement at all, unlike when we were launching tennis balls at it. Then we had a D-Class hit it in the leg with a bat, and again there was no response or movement from SCP-XXXX. What was more interesting was how the D-Class said it was like hitting a living tree at the base as hard as he could. So we just continued to make the tools more and more deadly, you could say. We used a sword! And It cut SCP-XXXX leg. Taking a chip out of it! But still, it didn't seem to affect SCP-XXXX. It didn't even flinch, and it just continued to stand there. But in the end, we decided to use live rounds of an assault rifle to see if they’d affect SCP-XXXX, and they did! After five gun rounds to the chest of SCP-XXXX, it collapsed into a pile of wood and ash! And let me tell you, it scared the crap out of me. I thought we had accidentally killed or “Naturalized,” as they call it. But thankfully, after a 7-hour search, we found SCP-XXXX! You can’t kill this thing by conventional means, but I wonder why it fell apart in the first place? We’re going to need to test this more.

Dr.████: Cook! SCP-XXXX collapsed!

What? What do you mean? It collapsed!

(Cook and Dr.████ run out of the tent)

(people outside the tent can hear running and shouting faintly for 6 minutes)

(the sound of a car engine and cars driving away can be heard)

(7 hours pass until the sound of approaching vehicles can be heard)

(shouting and running can be vaguely picked up)

(Prof Cook can be heard talking outside)
What? Okay, I'll pack my stuff up.
Crap! I left this thing on!
Erm, I should tell you what happened. So basically, SCP-XXXX collapsed into a pile of ash and wood out of nowhere, and we have no idea why! And we went searching for it, but we couldn’t find it anywhere. Therefore we're going to be packing our stuff up and leaving the area to continue to look for it tomorrow, but we don’t know where it went.

[Hello, I’m Professor Thomas Cook, head researcher and study of SCP-XXXX for roughly five years. Wow, I can’t believe it’s been that long! We intercepted a message that retained information on what could be a new appearance of SCP-XXXX. We will be leaving in 2 days to head that way to check it out.

Man, I’m so tired of chasing this thing all around the world! At least this time, it’s in the ██. Wait, I can’t say that. Well, whatever, it will just be inked over later anyways. so much stuff has happened, with Dr. ████ committing suicide in his one tent 3 years ago and

I need a vacation, a long one at that! To get away from SCP-XXXX, and it’s constantly moving. I can never get any sleep! Even when it stays still, it creaks and cracks like crazy. It's so annoying, and don’t get me started on the creepy call sound it makes! After this, I’m probably going to take a leave for a while. Oh yeah, I forgot to say that we finally figured out why SCP-XXXX leaves an aria out of the blue all the time! So after an extensive search of every place SCP-XXXX has been, we found one thing in common: all of them had vegetation returning to the area!

So at least we finally figured that mystery out! I was getting mad at the lack of purpose that SCP-XXXX has like it seems mindless, like it’s just there to be there. But this new information could lead us to learn so much more about SCP-XXXX that we never knew!

+ Document 001-B

On 11/2/████ in ███████, California. MTF Lambda-12 and all the researchers assigned to SCP-XXXX were dispatched due to SCP-XXXX citing in the area. Upon arrival, MTF Lambda-12 taped off the area of SCP-XXXX and then started searches for SCP-XXXX. Upon discovery of SCP-XXXX, all ten researchers set up observation, and no physical changes were apparent. Furthermore, there were no behavioral changes visible. Until Professor Thomas Cook collected a sample of SCP-XXXX’s ash and wood, upon which SCP-XXXX swung its left arm, hitting him and knocking him into a nearby tree, killing him instantly. Upon which MTF Lambda-12 opened fire on SCP-XXXX. After five shots to the chest cavity of SCP-XXXX, it collapsed into a pile of ash and burnt wood.

Immediately a search party was sent to find SCP-XXXX. Upon discovery, a more tactical and safe observation area was set up(the cause of SCP-XXXX aggression is unknown, but it is theorized that it is because the forest fire was caused on purpose instead of by natural causes)[[footnote][This theory has been proven. See Document 002-A][[/footnote]]

Due to the events on 11/2/████ the A message was sent to Foundation's Director of Task Forces on site-██ and after 3 months it was approved for the creation of Mobil Task Force or MTF-Delta-007 (Cinderella) by the 05 council. to be the representative group to research SCP-XXXX.

Addendum-002: [By no means is there to be any destruction, burning, or killing of an animal or plant in an 8-kilometer radius of SCP-XXXX.
Due to the events in Document 002-A, If this does happen, all personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX are to evacuate immediately.

+Document 002-A

**Test A-005- -11/06/████ 14:36 **

Subject: SCP-XXXX

Procedure: A Singular eastern white pine sapling, a canister of precisely 2 gallons of gasoline, and a small box of matches is placed 3 Meters away from SCP-XXXX. One D-Class personnel is instructed to go to the sapling and dowse it with gasoline and light it using the matches.

Results: ones the sapling was doused in the gasoline and the D-class proceed to light a match, SCP-XXXX sprinted into Him, throwing him 10 meters, breaking five ribs puncturing his right lung, and breaking a femur in his left leg due to impact with a stump of a tree.
After which, SCP-XXXX continues to pursue personal. Upon which MTF-Delta-7 (Cinderella) opened fire on SCP-XXXX, Neutralizing it for the moment being.

Analysis: due to the violent reaction from SCP-XXXX towards any burning or destruction of wildlife, we have concluded that humans were the cause of the violent response from SCP-XXXX on 8/2/████ and the death of Professor cook.
No further tests involving these things should be prohibited due to the dangers they pose to personnel.

*11/06/████ 15:12*: After Test A-005, all personnel was instructed to get ready for a search for SCP-XXXX. But the search was unneeded because SCP-XXXX had come back to the area of Test A-005(it is noted that SCP-XXXX has never gone back to the point of Neutralization). after reaching there, SCP-XXXX proceeded to attack personnel and destroy equipment (an instance of violence from SCP-XXXX like this has never happened before) all personnel was ordered immediately to evacuate.

+ Interview 002-C

Interviewed: [D-class 2371]

Interviewer: [ Professor Thomas Cook]

Foreword: [Questioning of D-class 2371, and his reluctance to follow orders during Test 002-A on 8/29/████ for SCP-xxxx]

<Begin Log,>

Interviewer: [Tell me D-2371 why were you reluctant to Follow orders? Were you not told SCP-XXXX is not hostile.]

Person: [Well, they did tell me, Prof Cook! But you don’t understand! You didn’t feel what I felt!]

Interviewer: [What do you mean by feeling what I felt? Please explain.]

Person: [well, when I got into the distance of SCP-XXXX, I looked into its eyes and felt this indescribable amount of fear! It’s like without speaking, that thing was telling me it wanted me dead!]

Interviewer: [D-2371, are you telling me that you felt a killer intent coming from SCP-XXXX?]

Person: [Yes! Unlike anything I’ve felt before! And that's the reason I freaked out when it moved. I thought I was going to die! That it was going to kill me!]

Interviewer: [So this is the reason you were reluctant to comply with the orders to touch SCP-XXXX.]

Person: [yes.]

Interviewer: [Okay, there will be no further questions. you are dismissed.]

<End Log,>

Closing Statement: [D-class 2371 reason for the reluctance to follow orders was due to an unknown anomalies effect caused by SCP-XXXX. Further research into this anomaly’s effect revealed that it happens to every person who is at least 3 feet away from SCP-XXXX and looks into its eyes.

Footnotes

1. [these can change position and size every time SCP-XXXX leaves an area]

2. [AKA Test A-001]

3. [All that was found in the excavation was that of a fey bone from the native species of Elk and eight native pine tree seeds. It is unknown if SCP-XXXX placed these there itself or they were there, to begin with.]
