Item #: SCP XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX are specimens of a previously unknown plant species, currently called scientia arborus. Whilst all specimens of scientia arborus share nearly-identical DNA, their physical appearance has shown to be determined by where a specimen has manifested. Specimens of SCP-XXXX adapt to resemble many local species of plant life.
The primary anomalous property of SCP-XXXX is its higher frequency in and surrounding areas of human civilization that would contain large amounts of knowledge (Examples include libraries, government archives, and server farms), along with the residences of humans that would be considered “geniuses” (Having an IQ of above 120) The reason for this behavior is currently unknown. SCP-XXXX also displays abnormally fast growth, reaching full maturity in 2-6 hours.
A secondary anomalous effect of SCP-XXXX is it's ability to attract animals in class /reptilia/, which activates approximately 2 hours after reaching full maturity. These animals are non-anomalous. The attracted animals will proceed to ingest any instance of SCP-XXXX they can detect, stopping only when they are unconscious. Many carnivorous reptiles have died of malnutrition due to this effect.
Addendum A: Notable Manifestation Log
| Instance | Species | Location |
|---|---|---|
| SCP-XXXX-1 | Japanese Cherry (Prunis Serrulata) | Instance manifested in Tokyo, Japan on 12/21/2012 inside the primary server farm of ████-██, a Japanese data firm. Agents were unable to intervene before custodial staff destroyed the instance. Despite minimal damage to the computers, a substantial amount of data was unrecoverable |
| SCP-XXXX-2 | Key Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) | Instance grew overnight in ██████ Public Library in ███████, Florida. Had infested the science-fiction, irreparably damaging many of the books before its secondary anomalous property activated. |
| SCP-XXXX-3 | Eastern White Pine (Pinus strobus) | Instance grew into the documental archives of the Indiana Statehouse on 03/02/2013. Was removed before its secondary anomalous property could take effect, and a "eco-terrorist" cover story was put up on local media. |
| SCP-XXXX-4 | Kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata) | Instance grew in a college dorm in ██████, Pennsylvania. SCP-XXXX-4 had grown over the residents in their sleep, causing a mass panic in the morning. Instance had somehow gotten into the motherboards of the students laptops, causing irreparable damage and data loss. Instance was removed without further instance. |
| SCP-XXXX-5 | Tanzanian Baobab Tree (Adansonia Digitata) | Instance had grown on the legally-recognized border of the Olduvai Gorge, within eyesight of Site-██. Instance had was inscribed with a symbol resembling an arrow pointing upward. |

Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-XXXX is the group designation for two related anomalies
SCP-XXXX-A is an extremely large specimen of scientia arborus, located within Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, resembling a Tanzanian baobab tree (Adsonia digitata). SCP-XXXX-1 (as of last measurement on 03/25/██) is approximately 3 kilometers tall, and the longest branch is approximately 2.25 kilometers long. SCP-XXXX-1 is surrounded by many smaller instances of itself, although these smaller instances (called SCP-XXXX-1A) resemble various species of plants that are not native or invasive to Tanzania.
Along the outer edge of the gorge are larger instances of SCP-XXXX-1A, with their heights varying from 750 meters to 1.25 kilometers. Each of these larger instances bear the insignia of a major GoI (examples include the Global Occult Coalition, Church of the Broken God, and the Foundation). To date, SCP-XXXX-2 has never gotten within 150 meters of these SCP-XXXX-1A instances. The reason for this is unknown.
Along the northern edge of the gorge is what has been determined to be a destroyed specimen of SCP-XXXX-1A. The only identifying feature of this instance is an insignia resembling a trident, found on an outlying root. The meaning of this insignia, or which GoI it coincides with, is unknown.
SCP-XXXX-B is an large reptilian quadruped, approximately 2 kilometers long (from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tale). Due to the fact that it exerts a strong antimemtic effect, very little specific qualities about SCP-XXXX-B have been determined. The only identifiable characteristic of SCP-XXXX-B, aside from it's unusual size and its reptilian nature, is the existence of an injury of its front left leg.
SCP-XXXX-B is not directly hostile to any lifeforms, with the exception of the SCP-XXXX instances within the Olduvai Gorge. However, when a hostile lifeform enters the Olduvai Gorge, SCP-XXXX-B will [REDACTED, SEE RESEARCH LOG XXXX/1]
Discovery: SCP-XXXX-1A was discovered on on 04/12/2015, after Foundation teams removed what was formerly called SCP-XXXX-5 from near Site-██ in Tanzania. According to personnel, SCP-XXXX-1A seemed to "appear out of nowhere". The currently accepted theory is that SCP-XXXX-1A had antimemetic properties prior to its discovery. It is unknown what caused these properties to deactivate.
SCP-XXXX-2 was discovered during the events of Research Log XXXX/1.
Addendum 2: Lost Memories
Due to the nature of SCPs XXXX-1 and -1A and and the actions of SCP-XXXX-2, an indefinite amount of knowledge has been lost over the course of human history. However, the removal of this knowledge has resulted in various “dirty edits” within the Foundation database, from which an approximation of the lost data can be reconstructed. Notable examples include:
*An extremely large amount of extra-marital affairs between members of world governments
*Many books and other forms of literature, including a journal by a Victorian explorer documenting an expedition to an unknown underwater city.
*Log-in and personal information of various Foundation employees and personnel.
*Information regarding the structure and location of a series of extra-solar structures of unknown origin.
It is unknown whether all loss of knowledge results in these "dirty edits", or if they only come about when a large amount of information is ingested by SCP-XXXX-2
Addendum 3: Research Log XXXX/1
Context: Upon the "reappearance" of SCP-XXXX-1A and -2, the Tanzanian president contacted the Foundation for assistance with containing and researching the anomaly. Site-██ deployed a field team to perform preliminary research and drafting containment procedures. Dr. A█████ and [DATA CORRUPTED] were sent into the Olduvai Gorge to collect samples of SCP-XXXX-1B.
[BEGIN LOG]
Dr. A█████: Alright, this is Provisional Team 54 entering the Olduvai Gorge. You picking us up, Command?
Command: Reading you loud and clear, A█████. [DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. A█████ He's talking into his mic. I'll see if I can jostle it into working. <Dr. A█████ mutters to herself as she fixes [DATA CORRUPTED] microphone>
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Command: There we go. We can hear you, [DATA CORRUPTED]
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. A█████: They're doing their best, [DATA CORRUPTED]. They can't fix the equipment from base.
Command: You'll have time to file your complaints when you get back to base. You have a task to complete.
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. A█████: See? Wasn't so hard. Command, I am pi- <A loud, distant pounding sound, approximated to be coming from the other side of the gorge> What was that?
Command: We heard that too, Doctor. Try to get a visual on whatever that was.
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. A█████: Lordy, what got you in such a mood? Come on, we've got our orders.
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. A█████: Thank you.
<The two walk to the other side of the Gorge, making idle chatter on their way. Talk is cut off by more pounding, this time in repetition.>
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Command: Repeat that, [DATA CORRUPTED]. You're breaking up.
Dr. A█████: It's a giant fucking lizard.
Command: What do you mean by, "a giant fucking lizard"?
Dr. A█████: It's a ….. giant fucki-
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. A█████: [DATA CORRUPTED], you're in the middle of the anomaly that could revolutionize our careers, and you're harping on professionalism. Let's have some fun! <Labored sigh> Command, all that I can see is that it's a huge, quadrupedal lizard. Can't make much more out. I mean, the left foreleg is slightly thinner than the rest, if that means anything. I think it's looking at us. <More loud pounding, seeming to get closer> BFL is on the move!
Command: Follow it, Doctor.
Dr. A█████: Don't think that'll be necessary or possible, Command. This thing is at least a kilometer long, and I'm not quite in shape yet. Even then, it's quite slow.
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. A█████: Yeah, we're definitely under it. Are you seeing this, Command?
Command: Doctors, we're not picking this thing up on our satellite feeds, and the base camp isn't seeing anything. Come back to base, we need to check if there's anything infohazardous in there.
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. A█████: <Pounding stops> I think it's … feeding? Its head stooping down to eat a flower. For something so big, it's handling itself very delicately.Command: That was an order, Doctor. Come back to base.
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr A█████: Agh, what the- Command, we have an unidentified person in the Gorge with me!
Command: We've also got an unidentified person in the radio network. Just a sec… <4 second pause> The comm log's corrupted. Can you describe the person?
Dr. A█████: Male, tall, Caucasian, thinning white hair. Wearing Foundation gear and a badge. He's not talking or moving.
Command: What's the name on the badge?
Dr. A█████: Umm… I can't tell. I mean, the words are there, but I can't read them. Looks like a Level 4, though. From Site-██.
[DATA CORRUPTED]
Dr. A█████: What the hell, he's talking in static!
Command: I'll cut him from the comm channel. Get back to base camp. Bring the intruder back too, if you can. We need to figure out who he is, and whatever else is happening in there.
Dr. A█████: Roger that, Command. Coming back to base. <6 second pause> He's following me.
Command: The intruder?
** Dr. A█████:** Yeah. Still talking static. Are you sure we should be bringing him back?
Command: If he got into the Foundation comm network and the gorge without being noticed, he might have people helping him.
** Dr. A█████:** Gotcha. <3 second pause> I swear, the big fucker is looking at me.
[END LOG]
After-Action: Following Dr. A█████ ex-filtration from Olduvai Gorge, the entity now known as SCP-XXXX-B was picked up on satellite cameras and seismic sensors in the surrounding region. It is believed that SCP-XXXX-B was not detected earlier due to its antimemetic properties, though it is unknown how Dr. A█████ saw it, or if SCP-XXXX-2 is in control of its properties.
The intruder (coded as PoI-7961) was delivered to Interrogation Room ██ in Site-██, where he was interrogated about himself and how he got into the Olduvai Gorge undetected. PoI-7621 was unresponsive during the interrogation session. PoI-7961 was then brought to the Site-██ medical wing, where he remains in intensive care. All equipment found on his person was found to be officially issued by Site-██ for the research mission into the Olduvai Gorge. Using fragmented data from the Foundation database, it is hypothesized that PoI-7961 was Foundation Researcher Dr. M█████, who was indeed deployed with Dr. A█████ for Research Log XXXX/1, though it is possible that this is a cover.
Item #: XXXX
Object Class: Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Foundation web-crawlers are to monitor the Internet for sightings or postings of large amounts of reptiles eating off of a singular plant. Once a sighing has been confirmed, embedded Foundation personnel in a nearby institution are to move in and secure the instance of SCP-XXXX, applying amnestics to witnesses when necessary. If standard containment is unavailable, an appropriate cover story is to be dispersed to local media outlets, and the instance is to be closely monitored by Foundation personnel
A 10-kilometre perimeter fence has been established around SCP-XXXX-T and Provisional Site-43. Guards are to be stationed at equidistant points along this perimeter, and are to be ordered to apprehend any persons not certified to access SCP-XXXX-T that attempt to cross into the excluded zone.
A small team of trained Foundation personnel are to be stationed within SCP-XXXX-V, and are to monitor the condition of the SCP-XXXX instances along the outer wall of SCP-XXXX-V for any abnormalities. If SCP-XXXX-L emerges from its sub-cave, the team is to open fire on it immediately, and call for reinforcements from Provisional Site-43.
Description: SCP-XXXX are anomalous specimens of known plant species. Instances of SCP-XXXX lack liquids that would typically appear within a plant, such as water and sap. Instead, they contain myelin1. Despite lacking the vital nutrients and materials that normal liquids would provide, SCP-XXXX instances show no sign of malnutrition or undernourishment. SCP-XXXX also has a minor healing ability, making it able to regenerate from any injury at a moderate rate, which makes standard method of removal ineffective.
SCP-XXXX instances manifest around large, stationary information sources or storage media. It is unknown what the exact criteria for a manifestation are, but it is assumed that there must be at least 70 terabytes of information within a building for a manifestation to occur, with larger amounts of information causing a larger manifestation. This limits significant manifestation locations to major universities, governmental archives, and SCP Sites. It is assumed that the oldest specimens of SCP-XXXX in a location coincide with the establishment of the location, though this is unable to be tested due to the lack of standard liquids in SCP-XXXX.
A secondary effect of SCP-XXXX is its attraction of any organisms in the class reptilia within 500 meters of an individual manifestation. The attracted reptiles universally begin consuming SCP-XXXX,

If SCP-XXXX-L emerges from its sub-cave, the team is to open fire on it immediately, and call for reinforcements from Provisional Site-43.
Description: SCP-XXXX refers to a phenomenon known to affect individuals of several plant species. Lining the vascular structure, and present to some degree in the sap itself, is a layer of myelin.2 The plants show accelerated responses to environmental stimulus, and regenerative properties. Aside from this, the instances appear to be structurally and genetically within the limits of normal variation for a plant of corresponding species, and will belong to a species of plant native to the location in which they are found.
SCP-XXXX affected plants appear most frequently in and surrounding areas of human civilization which contain large amounts of knowledge or information. Examples include libraries, universities, museums, government archives, and server farms. Samples taken, and local records, indicate that their age of these plants roughly correspond with the age of the ‘centers of knowledge’ with which they are associated.
Note_25JUL2018: The size and heath of the plant also appear to correspond with the condition and standing of the associated center of knowledge. See Notable Manifestations below.
A secondary anomalous effect of SCP-XXXX is it's ability to attract animals in class Reptilia. Individuals of several species of reptile native to the area in which an SCP-XXXX tree is located, will co-habitate in and around said tree, which they will proceed to feed on exclusively, regardless of normal dietary requirements. Specimens of these reptiles have been captured and examined, and all have demonstrated the ability to produce digestive enzymes that allow them to consume the SCP-XXXX trees and continue to thrive.
Addendum 1: Notable Manifestation Log
| Designation | Species | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| SCP-XXXX-1 | Cherry Blossom (Prunus serrulata) | ████-██ Data Firm, Tokyo, Japan | The first instance of SCP-XXXX found and documented. Instance had grown into the server farm within the establishment. A civilian set the outside portion of SCP-XXXX-1 on fire, which spread to the inside portion, causing a substantial amount of damage to the servers inside. SCP-XXXX-1 has since reduced in size significantly. |
| SCP-XXXX-6 | Key Lime Tree (Citrus aurantifolia) | ██████ Public Library, ███████, Florida | Instance has been contained, and disguised as an exhibit on unique inter-species interactions in nature. |
| SCP-XXXX-13 | Kudzu (Pueraria montana var. lobata) | █████ University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania | Instance was contained and experimented on by professors in the Biology department of ██████ University before the Foundation was notified. Professors have since been hired as Level-0 personnel to aid in research on SCP-XXXX. |
| SCP-XXXX-19 | European Beech (Fagus sylvatica) | █████ Conference Hall, █████, Switzerland | Instance had grown into the wall of Conference Room A, which was located on the outer edge of the building. Tree was removed without incident, structural repairs are still ongoing, and Cover Story 32-B ("Chemical Leak") was given to local media for dispersal. |
| SCP-XXXX-29 | Tanzanian Baobab Tree (Adansonia digitata) | Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania | Instance was found on the southern legal border of the Olduvai Gorge3. See Addendum 1 for more details. |
Addendum 2: SCP-XXXX-T and Provisional Site-43
SCP-XXXX-T is the sub-designation for an extremely large instance of SCP-XXXX, resembling a Tanzanian Baobab Tree, located in the approximate center of Olduvai Gorge. SCP-XXXX-T is approximately 3 kilometers tall, with it's most distal branches reaching 1.25 kilometers outwards, and roots extending nearly 5 kilometers outwards. Given the low amount of water and nutrients present within the Olduvai Gorge, it is unknown how SCP-XXXX-T has been able to survive.
A 20-kilometer perimeter has been set up around SCP-XXXX-T, and Provisional Site-43 has been established within. Provisional Site-43 is to research SCP-XXXX-T, and figure out how it managed to evade any form of detection through any means available. If possible, this effect is to be replicated and used in further Foundation operations.
Addendum 3: SCP-XXXX-V
Underneath the northern roots of SCP-XXXX-T is a roughly-circular opening in the ground, sloping into a flat plane 10 meters down. This cave extends into another opening, which is approximated to be directly underneath the trunk of SCP-XXXX-T. Past this opening is a large field, extending approximately 3 kilometers out from the opening in all directions, with SCP-XXXX instances growing out of the soil throughout. This space has been designated SCP-XXXX-V
Through further testing, it has been concluded that each of the smaller SCP-XXXX instances represents another instance outside of SCP-XXXX-V. Each of these instances are in the exact same condition, with identical markings and "injuries" from being eaten by reptiles. The reptiles also share this quality, with each of them having an identical appearance and location relative to its instance. When a reptile is removed from a "copy" of an SCP-XXXX instance, the similar reptile on the other copy seems to disappear. Biological testing reveals no further anomalous properties of these reptiles.
Along the outer wall of SCP-XXXX-V are 43 large instances of SCP-XXXX that do not have a counterpart outside of the cave, and are all of varying species. These instances do not seem to attract any reptiles, and they all seem to be in good condition. The singular exception to this is a shriveled stump of a larger SCP-XXXX instance, with what seems like many large shoots coming out of it that have been torn off. Large indentations that resemble bite marks from a large reptile appear just below where the shoot was torn off. Despite the resemblance, no reptile exists that are large enough to create such marks, or to tear off shoots of such size. See Addendum 4.
Addendum 4: SCP-XXXX-L and Site-21 Incident-███
At 12:21 AM local time on December 21, 20██, an extremely large quadrupedal reptile (estimated to be about 250 meters long) appeared from a previously-unknown sub-cave within SCP-XXXX-V. This lizard seemed to have moderate antimemetic properties, making it difficult to ascertain any specific information on it, aside from the fact that it is a lizard with four legs, along with the fact that it has a wound and slight limp on its left foreleg. This lizard has been classified as SCP-XXXX-L.
SCP-XXXX-L made its way from its cave to a large instance of SCP-XXXX on the opposite side of SCP-XXXX-V from itself, classified as SCP-XXXX-17, seeming to take care to step on the least amount of small SCP-XXXX instances as possible. This slowed its travel time significantly, which allowed personnel stationed at Provisional Site-43 time to mobilize and deploy to SCP-XXXX-V.
Once at SCP-XXXX-17, SCP-XXXX-L bit at large low-hanging branch and thrashedr its head wildly, seemingly trying to tear it off of the main tree. Foundation personnel proceeded to fire at SCP-XXXX-L, though it had little-to-no effect. After approximately 5 minutes, SCP-XXXX-L seemed grow tired, and retreated from the now-weakened limb of SCP-XXXX-17 to its sub-cave. Foundation personnel continued to fire at SCP-XXXX-L during its retreat, which served to make it retreat faster.
At 12:45 AM, the damaged limb of SCP-XXXX-17 broke off of the tree and fell to the ground. This occurred at the exact same time as a large containment breach at High-Risk Site-21, located in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nearly all of Site-21s Keter-class SCP objects breached containment, resulting in the destruction of nearly half of the site, and the deaths of 25% of its staff. Notably, none of the staff on site seemed to have any knowledge of the anomalies contained at the site, even if they were previously assigned to the objects. The database entries for these objects were also found to be corrupted and physical records were unable to be located. The connection between this incident and the event with SCP-XXXX-L, if any exists, is unknown.
