<Begin Log>

Dr.███: SCP-XXXX-1 are you going to answer the question?

SCP-XXXX-1: (Grunts Dismissively)

Dr.███: Fine, next question. Can you explain to us differentiations in your appearance?

SCP-XXXX-1: What do you mean?

Dr.███: On the first encounter with you in [REDACTED], your appearance was that of an elderly female, then when you resisted apprehension you took the form of a, and I am quoting here,"it's a large [EXPLETIVE] iguana!!"

SCP-XXXX-1: I DO NOT LOOK LIKE AN IGUANA! (Visibly Agitated)

Dr.███: Are you Saying that this isn't your normal state so to say?

SCP-XXXX-1: Well yeah duh who would choose to look like a monkey.

Dr.███: So is this ability of yours is something akin to shapeshifting?

SCP-XXXX-1: I suppose, but it's more like making a jacket and putting it on.

Dr.███: How many of "these jackets" do you have?

SCP-XXXX-1: I prefer to call them lures.

Dr.███: XXXX, answer the question.

SCP-XXXX-1: I don't really keep count, but if I had to estimate I'd say around 50, give or take a few.

Dr.███: And how is it that you make them?

SCP-XXXX-1: If you want I can show you.

Dr.███: That will not be necessary.

SCP-XXXX-1: Oh come on it won't even take a minute.

Dr.███: XXXX if you do not answer the question you will be sent back to your chamber.
