It is to contain one twin sized bed, a writing desk and chair. Every day, SCP-1383 is allowed three pieces of 2x4 oak planks for sustenance and rewarded with more exotic woods for good behavior. Because it has been cooperative and in general disdains violence, it has been allowed free access to pre-approved areas in Sector-28. ^^ SCP-1383 when first captured. ^^ SCP-1383 has requested: A TV with access to channels with children’s programing (Approved)

Coloring books and pencils (approved)

Request to speak to its “mother” (Denied)

A t-shirt and a pair of shorts (Approved) Description: SCP-xxx is wooden humanoid carved out of Cryptomeria japonica (Sugi, or Japanese Ceder). SCP-1383 resembles a male child of Asian descent between the ages of 10-12, standing 137cm tall and weighing 36kg. It has distinctive large ears, no carved pupils and has grass, vines and twigs as hair worn in a top knot. Facial expression is minimum though it can show happiness, sadness and fear. It has no difficulties with movement such as walking and running and cursory examinations have shown that SCP-xxx was carved from one piece of wood. Through unknown means, SCP-1383 can eat and digest wood for sustenance as well as speak. It is fluent in the Hachijō Japanese dialect and English and knows a few words of Korean. On the bottom of its left foot, appears to be a maker’s mark that has been scratched out and on the bottom of the right, “Property of Herman Fuller's Circus Of The Disquieting” has been carved. SCP-xxx has the ability to grow six (6) unknown species of plants, fruits and vegetables from its hands and hair. The process of growth is unknown and the subject does not require seeds, water or sunlight for the plants to grow. The growth of these plants are rapid and can take approximately 10-15 minutes to grow from seedling to plant. SCP-xxx can only grow the six (6) instances from its body, however when placed near other plant life for an extended period of time, all plant life will grow three times faster than it would normally. This effect will last even after SCP-xxx leaves the vicinity. On 02/28/2006 in ██████ Canada, Agent Orchid contained SCP-xxx after there had been many reports of a “giant toy” scaring children. When confronted by Agent Orchid, it volunteered itself into the custody of The Foundation. Addendum xxx-1- SCP-xxx agreed to allow doctors examine its interior. X-Ray scans revealed rudimentary wooden organs that superficially resemble human organs however it is missing the following: small intestine, liver, and left kidney. Scans also revealed that within the lower abdomen is a skull and rib cage belonging to a human infant approximately 1-3 weeks old. Within the rib cage is a functioning heart that circulates tree sap throughout the other organs and body using vines that are 1mm-5mm thick. Testing has showed that the tree sap has no anomalous properties. Addendum 1383-2 -SCP-1383 has stated that it was 'born' in 1901. Psychological testing has determined that it has the comprehension and intelligence of the average 10-12 year old. Subject has claimed that it has been with the circus since the late 60s. Information of its 'mother' death is to be withheld. SCP-1383 also does not fully grasp the concept of the passage of time. + Interview Log-SCP-1383-A - Interview Log -SCP-1383-A

<Begin Log> Doctor Richards- SCP-1383, have you always been able to grow plants? SCP-1383- My name isn’t SCP-1383. It’s Daichi. Doctor Richards-Your new designation is SCP-1383. Now, have you always been able to grow plants? SCP-1383 – (SCP-1383 slumps) Yeah, I guess. I don’t know how I do it, I just do. Mama used them to make medicines and stuff. The apples made her happy. Doctor Richards-Is your mother like you? SCP-1383 - You mean made of wood? No. She’s meat—I mean she’s a human like you guys…she didn’t give birth to me, not like normal I mean. Doctor Richards - So she didn't give birth to you…but she's your mother? Elaborate please. SCP-1383 -…I can't. I'm not supposed to know and if she knew I told you guys, I'd be in so much trouble. Doctor Richards - If you deny the request then you will not be allowed the cherry wood for your rations. SCP-1383 -But I'm not supposed to tell! The Green Man said I'm not supposed to say how I was Awakened! Doctor Richards- Awakened? What do you mean by that? SCP-1383 -Um…(SCP-xxx is visibly uncomfortable). Mama had a baby before me but he died. She wrote the Green Man to bring him back. But she didn't get him back. He gave her me instead. I wasn't Awakened then. I was just…there. But then I ate the baby and Awakened. Doctor Richards - You…ate him. SCP-1383 I don't eat meat now. That was just to wake me up. She wanted a child but she got me as a replacement. I really do love her. Doctor Richards -…Right then. And who is the Green Man.

SCP-1383: The Green Man makes dreams come true. But he doesn't help everyone. Mama said he only helps the most deserving.

Doctor Richards - Is he human?

SCP-XXX - Um. I guess? I know he's definitely not a bear. He's pretty tall…black hair.. a man. I've only seen him twice. Once after he made me and once after I awakened.

Doctor Richards -Why is he called the Green Man?

SCP-XXX - Because he lived in the deepest part of the forest and wore clothes made from lots of big green leaves.

**Doctor Richards ** - Now…How did you end up joining the circus? SCP-1383 –( SCP-1383 slumps back in its chair and frowns ) –I hate it there. I don’t want to go back. They stole me from home. One day I heard talking in the front room and I went to go see who it was. The village people know me and aren't afraid like others are. I thought it was Morimoto-san the baker since he was having problems with arthritis. Mama had been giving him medicine for it. Well anyway, when I walked in the front room, I saw mama talking to a man with an upside down face and she looked really mad. ( silence for 55 seconds ) Doctor Richards–What was she angry about? SCP-1383 -… The upside down face man said he wanted to buy me. Told mama he could make her rich if she sold me and she said no. When I walked in, they stopped talking and the man left. I asked her what was wrong and she said we were leaving for a trip the next day and that I had to pack up right away. she said we were gonna go to the mainland. I never been to the mainland so I was really excited. Doctor Richards- And then what happened? SCP-1383 - (The subject becomes visibly upset) The next day monsters attacked. Doctor Richards - The monsters? What happened to your mother? (At this point SCP-1383 refused to speak further. It has not mentioned its 'mother' since this log and refuses to answer any questions regarding her or the 'monsters'.) <End Log> + Interview Log-SCP-1383-B - Interview Log -SCP-1383-B <Begin Log>



Doctor Richards -Alright then, SCP-1383. We're going to talk about the circus today.



SCP-1383 - Um, OK…what do you want to know about it? Doctor Richards - How long have you been in the circus?

SCP-1383 -I think it was twenty years ago.. I dunno. It was when that man first walked on the moon. I heard it on the radio. Well, my English back then wasn't so good so I didn't understand everything but I'm pretty sure it was then.

Doctor Richards - What did you do in the Circus? Did you have an act? SCP-1383 -Oh my act? Well it was fun I guess. I mean after they… brought me to the circus, I met Mr. Fuller and he was pretty nice. They called me The Walking Garden. Ugh that name was so lame but they wanted something mystical or something stupid like that. My act was…well, growing my fruits and plants and the circus would sell them as "Tree Boy's Miracle Apples." Not that I got any money from it. But I only I did the apples because those are the safest. Doctor Richards -Did they know about the other plants? SCP-1383 I didn't tell Mr. Fuller about them. My other plants are for medicine only. That's what mama said. But…the man with the upside down face knew…At first Mr. Fuller told him not to bother me so much but after awhile, I hardly ever saw him. The man with the upside down face came around more often. He was really mean…none of the acts liked him. Even the Den of Freaks were a little scared. Not me though, I was a lot scared. Doctor Richards -I see. And what did he do about the plants? (SCP-1383 becomes visibly upset and appears to be leaking tree sap from its eyes and does not speak for 42 seconds.) Doctor Richards - SCP-1383, answer the question. SCP-1383- The mugwart…the camellia and the ████████. Mama told me never ever to use any without permission. But the Upside Down Face man knew. He would make me grow them. The mugwart he sold a lot..he used them on the performers too. Sometimes.. sometimes he'd kidnap people while we were on the road. Would make them drink the camellia tea anytime someone died in the Den of Freaks. That happened a lot cause they're always fighting in there. I didn't want to grow them but he said that he would throw me into the den and they'd turn me into toothpicks!

Doctor Richards - And the ████████?

SCP-1383 - I don't know. He made me make a lot of those. I don't know what he did with them or planned on doing with them. I just needed to leave before he used them. I just had to! Doctor Richards - And that's how Agent Orchid found you? SCP-1383 - Uh huh. I was trying to help Kara. (SCP-1383 clenches its fists and looks angry)) One of those freaks got Kara pregnant. Kara wanted to use the mugwort and I don't blame her. Who'd want a baby from one of them? But the man with the upside down face wanted her to have it because it was bound to be a star attraction. So we decided to run away when we got to ████████████. One night there was a fight in one of the tents. While everyone was running around, me and Kara took our chance and ran away. But one of the freaks, saw us run away and followed us when we got to the town proper. He grabbed her and I tried to help but I wasn't strong enough. Kara told me to run and to get away and I did. (SCP-1383 looks directly at Doctor Richards) You have to find Kara. She can't have that baby, she can't! <End Log> Addendum 1383-2- Foundation members went to Hachijō-jima Japan in search of SCP-1383’s origins. The town where it claims to have originated was mostly deserted. The house previously owned by ███ ██████ and called The ████████████ was quickly located on the outskirts of town and was dilapidated from years of disuse. Per local residents, no one lived in the house since at least the 1920s and is famously known for being "haunted". Plants and Fruits Description Effect Golden Delicious apple Heart shaped, each fruit will have three green circles on the bottom. After eating half the apple, test subjects will start to feel a strong since of euphoria. This effect will last between 1-2 hours. Consumption of the entire apple will result in the test subject having positive thoughts and attitude as well as the feeling of euphoria for 12 hours. Babiasca Niagra Yellow in color, the grapes are slightly misshapen and the taste is comparable to the normal variety When at least four grapes are consumed, test subjects will experience instant relief of any physical pain they may have experienced. Ten or more grapes consumed will cause a coma like condition. To date, no D-class subject that has consumed so many have awakened. Rosa Canina (dog rose) The entire flower is black excluding the fruit which is dark crimson. The flower is poisonous and should only be handled while wearing gloves. The fruit of the Rosa Canina when consumed will make test subjects fall into a deep sleep that will last between 6-10 hours. No outside stimulus will awaken subjects and they will seem to be on the brink of death. Seventy percent of subjects complained of being afraid in their sleep but not remembering what they were afraid of. Twenty five percent of subjects awakened with the following ailments cured: the common cold, hepatitis C, a fractured wrist, and bruises. Twenty six percent of subjects reported pain in their left kidney. Upon further examination, their left kidneys had atrophied. Forty nine percent of subjects had no ill side effect. Camellia Has the appearance of a normal pink camellia. The scent is very sweet and is similar to honey and cinnamon. When handled, there are no anomalous effects. When brewed into a tea and consumed, subjects will complain of very itchy skin. Within 1-3 hours, the subject will have gone through rapid shedding of the skin and a paper thin, paler version will have taken its place. Subjects do not feel any pain though complain of irritation. For every 3-4ML consumed, subjects will continue to transform in various ways including horns, rudimentary wings, scaled skin and new appendages. Testing is still on going. Mugwort (Tanacetum vulgare) Normal except for blue centers Effects are only activated when the mugwort is brewed into a tea. When consumed, subjects will immediately feel a sharp cramp in the stomach that will last several minutes. Men will feel no pain after approximately ten minutes. Women experience the pain for near an hour. One D-class subject who at the time was unaware that she was 6 weeks pregnant, miscarried. The 6 week embryo (Now designated SCP-1383-B) survived and is currently under observation in Sector-28's medical facility. The growth of SCP-1383 is twice as slow as normal human embryo development. Large growths have developed on its back and arms though do not seem to be determent to its development. ████████ ████████████████ [REDACTED] SCP-1383 refused to grow further instances after one of the bulbs was dropped by a D-Class subject. Once the bulb cracked open, the room immediately filled with a yellow smoke. The D-Class subject started to have respiratory problems and died approximately three minutes later. Further examinations has found that the smoke was actually millions of an unknown species of microscopic organism that react violently once exposed to oxygen. Autopsy revealed that the D-Class subject died of sudden atrophy of the lungs. The nasal passages and windpipe suffered first degree burns.

SCP-XXX is a male humanoid creature approximately 73 cm in height and 11kg in weight. It has black, rough skin with the consistency of heavy sandpaper. The face is triangular and vaguely feline with nose slits and ear holes. SCP-XXX eyes are somewhat slanted and milky white; however it does not suffer from blindness. When passive, it remains in a crouched and is bipedal when in the process of feeding off of carbon dioxide. Its teeth are flat and indicate a vegetarian diet when not consuming carbon dioxide. SCP-XXX consumes the carbon dioxide emitted from sleeping people or animals. Its skin produces a neurotic toxin in a form of a powder that when applied to the skin, it causes a slight numbing sensation. However, when inhaled it causes the subject to fall into a paralyzing sleep and will last for up to ten hours if carbon dioxide isn’t consumed. The affected will be weak but healthy once awake. When feeding, SCP-XXX will blow the powder into the face of a sleeping person or animal and climb on top of the victim, latching on to the chest area and forcing the mouth open. It will then begin to “suck” the breath out of the person until the lungs deflate, causing death. SCP-XXX-2 is the remains of a female with the same physical characteristics of its male counterpart. Other than being smaller and female genitalia, it looks exactly the same as the male. SCP-XXX and SCP-XXX2 where discovered after a rash of deaths to infants attributed to SIDS in (black). It was brought to the Foundation’s attention by Agent Gilded who had been vacationing there at the time. During the investigation, it was discovered that all babies that died were less than six months old. The Foundation retrieved the birth records of the last six months from (black) hospital and an agent was sent to the 12 infants that had been listed. It wasn’t until the 5th night of observation that SCP-XXX had been seen climbing into the window of one of the listed infants.
