Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be locked within a 6 m x 6 m containment cell with natural rubber lining the insides. Security cameras should be placed in each top corner. Natural rubber lining is to be replaced each week; during this time SCP-XXXX must be moved to an adjacent containment cell of the same nature. Once natural rubber lining is replaced, SCP-XXXX is to be moved back to the first containment cell.

SCP-XXXX must be monitored at all times. SCP-XXXX typically acts docile, any changes in it's behaviour must be reported to a personnel with Security Clearance Level 4. If contact with SCP-XXXX is necessary, a natural rubber suit must be worn by the personnel initiating contact. No personnel above Security Clearance Level 2 are permitted to come into contact with SCP-XXXX unless the situation is vital.

Description: SCP-XXXX consists of a mass of black tentacles, typically about three metres in diameter, that are able to stretch to any size. It is physically impossible to see the body due to the tentacles. Readings are unable to detect any form of physical activity within the mass, most likely dues to psychic interference. Sensors have picked up SCP-XXXX emitting a low pitched humming noise, too low for humans to hear. SCP-XXXX acts docile unless a non-plant organism comes within one metre or it is attacked.

SCP-XXXX is able to move through most physical objects, with the exception of plant life and natural rubber; these materials also limit the psychic abilities of SCP-XXXX. It can move along any surface, so the phasing must be a conscious decision. It moves along the ground using it's tentacles at a pace of two miles per hour.

SCP-XXXX possesses potent psychic power, and is able to control other living beings by attaching it's tentacles to their brain; this also results in the subject's death once the tentacles are removed. Readings show that once the tentacles are linked to subject's brain, their brain waves cease instantly, and their brain instead receives signals through the tentacles. The brain remains shut down after the tentacles are removed, resulting in death. It is believed that SCP-XXXX is able to access the memories of the subject this way, though there is currently no way to test this.

SCP-XXXX also possesses minor reality warping powers, and can transform objects into new ones with the same properties; it once transformed a steel pen lid into several paper clips, for reasons unknown; speculation includes a theory that it accessed the idea of paper clips along with the other items produced through someone's memories. No contact with the tentacles was required, implying SCP-XXXX can exert psychic powers without the use of it's tentacles. Reality warping powers are lost when in contact with natural rubber or plant life. SCP-XXXX has also created weapons such as guns and knives, plastic cups and light bulbs, though paper clips are most produced at 61% of all items produced.
