A scanned print of an SCP-OOOO instance.

Special Containment Procedures: Any reported physical manifestations of SCP-OOOO are to be recovered by a Foundation-operated aerial drone and returned to the nearest Site. Online manifestations are blocked by neural identification agents embedded in every Internet service provider's network. Any individuals suspected of being affected by SCP-OOOO are to be detained until a reliable method of returning them to human form is developed.

Description: SCP-OOOO is the group designation for a series of posters that depict a chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) and are captioned with the phrase "YOU ARE A MONKY" [sic]. Instances may appear posted physically in a public space, or uploaded to a public website such as Twitter or Reddit. All attempts at determining its source have failed; physical instances do not manifest under any surveillance, and virtual instances are posted under blank accounts with random IP addresses.

Individuals that directly1 view an instance of SCP-OOOO will become anatomically identical to a chimpanzee, with no change in intellect, personality, or speech capacity. However, any living beings, including themselves, will identify the affected individual as a human, in spite of any indication otherwise. As such, they will not realize that they are a chimpanzee unless they undergo rigorous testing of their own physiology.

Addendum OOOO.1: On April 22, 2018, during investigation of an unrelated anomaly, it was discovered that several members of GoI-5869 ("Gamers Against Weed") have properties indicative of SCP-OOOO exposure. The following interview was conducted with the person of interest claiming to have created SCP-OOOO.
