SCP-XXXX as captured by D-XXXX-11(see Experiment XXXX-E2)

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX should be kept in a three point five (3.5) meter high cell, with some portion of the cell lit at a maximum of zero point two five (0.25) lumens spread over at least four (4) meters squared, preferably darker. Keep the whole cell at said lighting condition if no experiments are being conducted. If you are turning on a light, SCP-XXXX should not be located where the light can reach. SCP-XXXX does not ingest any substance, excrete any substance, or move(under ideal circumstances), there is no need to enter at any time. If SCP-XXXX should escape, no attempts should be made to stop it, dispatch Field Agents to bring it back to the facility immediately. Level 4 clearance is needed to access SCP-XXXX. If you wish to do research on SCP-XXXX, contact Dr. Linnel.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a humanoid with no skin, it measures to be roughly three (3) meters tall and one (1) meter wide, no other details of this creature's physical appearance could be noted. This entity is very dormant, it will not move from it's upright standing position under ideal circumstances. SCP-XXXX prefers to not be seen, it typically stands in the dark, or out of sight, any attempts to move SCP-XXXX have resulted in a violent [DATA EXPUNGED] on the person attempting to move them. This creature will move at high speeds when hunting a target, or to find a place where it cannot be seen. It has displayed the ability to travel at ███ kilometers per hour while traveling on land, and an estimated ███ in water(see Experiment XXXX-B3).

SCP-XXXX should not share four (4) metres of space with anyone at any given time, unless said person is standing in the light. Standing in the same shadow with SCP-XXXX will trigger the same effect as moving him into sight. SCP-XXXX has displayed the trait of invulnerability when placed in the light. When in the dark, SCP-XXXX will take damage, but it will not move from it's location.

+ **Experiments(in the order they were conducted):** - Hide Experiments EXPERIMENT XXXX-A1

Item: SCP-XXXX

Subject(s): D-XXXX-01

Experiment: Stepping into the shadow.

Result: [DATA EXPUNGED], D-XXXX-01 did not survive. EXPERIMENT XXXX-B1

Item: SCP-XXXX

Subject(s): D-XXXX-02

Experiment: Shining light on it.

Result: SCP-XXXX moved at ███ kilometers per hour, it reached D-XXXX-02, [DATA EXPUNGED] her, and moved back into the shadow at similar speed. EXPERIMENT XXXX-C1

Item: SCP-XXXX

Subject(s): D-XXXX-03

Experiment: Moving it(utilizing hooks).

Result: When moved one (1) meter, SCP-XXXX did nothing. When moved into sight, SCP-XXXX violently [DATA EXPUNGED] D-XXXX-03, and destroyed the hook launcher. EXPERIMENT XXXX-C2

Item: SCP-XXXX

Subject(s): D-XXXX-04

Experiment: Moving it via controls in the next room over.

Result: Once SCP-XXXX was visible, it smashed the machine in an instant. It proceeded to smash through the wall to reach D-XXXX-04. We did not see what happened, as it destroyed our camera in the process of smashing the wall, but we heard an agonized scream from D-XXXX-04. Judging by the time that D-XXXX-04 had to scream, it's likely that this death was slower, presumably because we could not see the event occur, and D-XXXX-04's memory of the creatures visual appearance was about to be lost. EXPERIMENT XXXX-D1

Item: SCP-XXXX

Subject(s): D-XXXX-05

Experiment: Exposure to SCP-XXXX's scream.

Result: Nothing. EXPERIMENT XXXX-B2

Item: SCP-XXXX

Subject(s): D-XXXX-05, and D-XXXX-06

Experiment: Shining a light on SCP-XXXX from a different room, whilst a different person stands in front of SCP-XXXX.

Result: D-XXXX-05 shone the light on SCP-XXXX from approximately twelve (12) meters a way. He was [DATA EXPuNGED], after the specimen charged through the wall. D-XXXX-06 stood in front of SCP-XXXX at the time of the event, she was unharmed. EXPERIMENT XXXX-B3

Item: SCP-XXXX

Subject(s): D-XXXX-06

Experiment: Turning on a light remotely from across the ocean at ██████, England.

Result: SCP-XXXX smashed the light first, and broke through the wall of it's cell. We quickly lost track of him. It is unknown if it can swim or fly, but it reached D-XXXX-06 after two days. D-XXXX-06 was killed, and SCP-XXXX was moved back to █████████. SCP-XXXX likely cannot fly, as his average running speed is faster than the speed he traveled at to reach ██████, England. Note: SCP and D-XXXX-06 were placed away from any buildings to prevent damage. EXPERIMENT XXXX-E1

Item: SCP-XXXX

Subject(s): D-XXXX-07, D-XXXX-08, D-XXXX-09, and D-XXXX-10

Experiment: Taking a photo with flash on.

Result: Camera smashed every time, all subjects terminated. EXPERIMENT XXXX-E2

Item: SCP-XXXX

Subject(s): D-XXXX-11

Experiment: Looking at it with Night Vision goggles. Taking a picture with Night Vision goggles.

Result: Image of SCP-XXXX captured. Skin is bare, SCP-XXXX is unmoving. D-XXXX-11 unharmed.

Note: No more experiments are to be conducted. -Dr. Linnel

+ **Chronological History:** - Hide Chronological History January 23, 1987: Three out of five hikers in ██████, Canada go missing after entering a cave.

January 24, 1987: The remaining two hikers report to the police, who send an investigation team.

January 26, 1987: The investigation team is reported missing as well.

January 30, 1987: The cave is deemed 'off-limits' until further investigation.

February 4, 1987: SCP Field Agents arrive for an investigation. Three died.

February 5, 1987: More SCP Field Agents arrive with a Class D subject, and a dark crate. D-XXXX-00 shines a light into the cave whilst standing in the crate. He is immediately [DATA EXPUNGED], and SCP- XXXX stays in the crate, presumably due to it's darkness.

February 7, 1987: SCP-XXXX is moved to Area 16, Sector ██, the hikers are given amnestics.

███████ █, ████: Experimenting begins.

+ MTFC-██████ on the topic of SCP-XXXX - Close interview Interviewer: ████████

Interviewed: MTFC-██████(hereby referred to as the Commander)

<Begin Log, 13:26>

████████: Can you describe what you saw for me, please?

Commander: I didn't see nothin', the dude just as we said, shone a light in the cave, and just died.

████████: Could you give more details please?

Commander: Listen, the most detail I can give you, is that there was a flash, and a blur. All of a sudden D-XXXX-00's limbs are flyin' away, it's like he fucking exploded, the poor bastard.

████████: I see, did you have any more difficulties with SCP-XXXX?

Commander: It was smooth sailing for the rest of the trip, but I'm still disturbed by what I saw, they got a clip of it in slow mo or somethin'. I don't want to see it, they told me that monster [DATA EXPUNGED] him. That's fucking sick, and I don't want to see it.

████████: [silence, then sound of papers moving] It says here that you had no difficulties on the way back, what were some worries you may have had?

Commander: They were carrying a crate via two helicopters, one slip up and a whole vehicle woulda went down, I was watching that thing like a mother watches her fucking children.

████████: That is cause to worry I'd say. One more question, how do you feel about this?

Commander: About what?

████████: This whole ordeal, everything involving SCP-XXXX

Commander: Uh, just another capture. One of those unfortunate ones where lives were lost, uh…I mean, I'm sad they died, but…it's kind of underwhelming at this point…

████████: Thank you, you may go. [sound of Commander leaving].

Additional Notes:

SCP-XXXX will occasionally scream loudly and shrilly. The scream could be described as two voices screaming at the same time. This has no effects on humans. Dogs, however, when exposed to this noise, will go mad and attack SCP-XXXX, entering the shadow, where they are [DATA EXPUNGED]. It is unknown why it screams.

SCP-XXXX is speculated to be able to survive tonnes of pressure. SCP-XXXX likely swam to England(see Experiment XXXX-B3), and due to it's hatred for light, it is probable that it swam to the deep ocean where it could not be seen.
