Item #: SCP-1XXX
 |
| SCP-1XXX-6, prior to containment. |
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-1XXX are to be contained in a 10 x 10m containment chamber constructed of reinforced concrete. Two security cameras are to be monitoring the containment chamber at all times. Admittance to the containment chamber requires at least level 2 clearance, two armed security guards, and the appropriate headgear. At no time should any scalp hair be exposed within the containment chamber.
Description: SCP-1XXX are 10 specimens of 5m tall organisms, composed entirely of plant matter, similar in appearance to the root structure of large tree. The head is a low hanging wooden knob with a large orifice acting as a mouth. Numerous elongated, root-like growths extend from the head, functioning as legs. These roots are highly flexible and mobile, and allow an instance of SCP-XXXX to travel at speeds of up to 20 km/h. Up to 16 separate leg formations have been recorded on a single instance of SCP-1XXX.

Within the mouth of an instance of SCP-1XXX are numerous rows of sharp blades composed of keratin that act as teeth. These teeth are capable of rotating along several grooves within the mouth through an unknown process, and are capable of cutting through most softer metals. They are also capable of damaging iron and steel. The mouth cavity of SCP-1XXX usually reaches up to 33 cm in depth and 28 cm in width.
SCP-1XXX feed on human hair. If a human being is caught by an instance of SCP-1XXX, the instance will quickly restrain the subject with several limbs and cover the subject's head with its mouth cavity; at which point the teeth will rotate, chopping off the scalp hair of the subject. The instance of SCP-1XXX will then ingest the hair it has removed and release the subject; subjects are often left with scars, as SCP-1XXX's teeth lack precision. If attacked or otherwise provoked, an instance of SCP-1XXX will actively attempt to harm the attacker, often shredding the assailants’ limbs or outright killing the assailant via decapitation.
Addendum: SCP-1XXX was first discovered by Foundation agents in 1943, in ███████, █████, after several reports of strange beheadings and mutilations. SCP-1XXX-1 was quickly contained, and since its capture, 9 more instances have been contained, in various countries. DNA sampling of each instance has proven them all identical. During routine inspection, barcode labels and an unidentified logo were found branded on the underside of each specimen. Investigation has yielded no results, and the labels have been damaged by growth and wear, preventing attempts at scanning.

| An instance of SCP-1XXX-1 attempting to utilize a shovel. |
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The building formerly housing the ███████ █████████ Back Clinic and SCP-1XXX has been repurposed as a Foundation front business. The entrance to the basement has been replaced by a reinforced steel door and is to be triple locked. The unlocking codes are only available for access by level 3 personnel and higher. If SCP-1XXXs' area of effect appears to have shifted in any way, Site Director Galveston is to be contacted.
Under no circumstances, unless explicitly for testing, are chairs allowed within SCP-1XXX.
Description: SCP-1XXX is the basement of the former ███████ █████████ Back Clinic located in ███████, ███████. The basement walls and ceiling are all composed of concrete, with several support pillars at various points in the room. The floor is unfinished. Florescent lighting tubes line the ceiling, but only three (3) of them remain in working condition.
SCP-1XXX’s anomalous properties only arise when a chair (hereby defined as an object with four legs and a seat that is designed for sitting in; rolling chairs are not affected, although rocking chairs are) is introduced to it. As soon as the legs of a chair are allowed contact with the floor of SCP-1XXX, it becomes an instance of SCP-1XXX-1.
SCP-1XXX-1 is the designation given to any chair under the effect of SCP-1XXX. Instances of SCP-1XXX-1 appear to gain sentience and the ability to move independently, either by shuffling across the floor, or in the case of folding chairs, rapidly opening and closing the legs of the chair. Chairs removed from SCP-1XXX lose all anomalous properties.
Instances of SCP-1XXX-1 are able to speak in English through unknown means; these vocalizations consist of short, clipped sentences spoken in a high-pitched, squeaky voice. Instances of SCP-1XXX-1 will only vocalize when a human being is inside SCP-1XXX, regardless of their distance from the subject. Vocalizations are usually commands that refer to the spinal health and posture of the subject. However, these commands are not factually based on the subjects’ actual spinal health, with instances of SCP-1XXX-1 saying the same sentences regardless.
“Stand up straight!”
“Don’t slouch!”
“Fix your posture!”
“Slouching causes scoliosis!”
“I said stand up straight.”
“Straight.”
If a human being spends more then 60 minutes within SCP-1XXX, all instances of SCP-1XXX-1 will fixate upon the individual, hereby referred to as the subject. Instances of SCP-1XXX-1 will follow the subject around and instruct them more clearly on their spinal health. If more then one human being is within SCP-1XXX, instances of SCP-1XXX-1 will fixate on a random individual. Exiting SCP-1XXX can negate this effect. If the subject remains inside SCP-1XXX, several changes will occur in the current SCP-1XXX-1 population. As time elapses, instances of SCP-1XXX-1 will grow more active and vocalize more often; the sound of the vocalizations will change from the previous voice to a deeper, louder pitch.
If the subject remains within SCP-1XXX for approximately 80 minutes, instances of SCP-1XXX-1 will vocalize rough commands and statements about the subjects’ spinal health in a more negative light, frequently repeating phrases such as “Awful posture” in threatening tones. After approximately 120 minutes, instances of SCP-1XXX-1 will begin to assault the subject; methods of attack include ramming, tripping, stabbing (with chair legs), and crushing. The population of SCP-1XXX-1 will repeat these actions until the subject is killed. However, instances of SCP-1XXX-1 will often display remorse for these actions, vocalizing various apologetic phrases. Individual instances of SCP-1XXX-1 have attempted to move or bury the bodies, often times trying to utilize tools like shovels and brooms, to little effect.
“We’re sorry.”
“Apologies.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Tried helping!”
“Forgive?”
Item #: SCP-1111
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: At this time, SCP-1111 is relatively self-contained in a 7km by 4 km stretch of the ██████ Strait. Underwater barriers have been installed on the sea floor and should be checked for integrity every 8 months. Mobile Task Force Sigma-5 (“The Cobblers”) is to remain on constant patrol of the containment area. Site 43 has been established on a nearby island, and island towns in close proximity have been evacuated on the premise of potential seismic activity.
In case of direct confrontation with SCP-1111, personnel are to make no action to provoke the subject. If necessary, MTF Sigma-5 is to be deployed to halt the spread of SCP-1111’s effects. Under no circumstances are personnel to make contact with, harm, or otherwise provoke the subject.
Large tobacco burners are to be installed on all Foundation vessels assigned to Site 43.
Description: SCP-1111 is an approximately 50m tall sea dwelling humanoid. SCP-1111 appears to be organic in composition, but no samples have been obtained, due to the nature of SCP-1111. SCP-1111 spends most of its time on the seafloor, seated in an apparent half-lotus position.
Upon as of yet unknown circumstances, SCP-1111 will rapidly assume a standing position and rise to the ocean surface. After breaking the surface, SCP-1111 will be drawn to any seafaring (note) vessel within its range of sight. Testing has shown that SCP-1111’s range of sight is comparable to that of a human.
Upon contact with any solid matter, SCP-1111 will begin to transmute said matter into the wood of the Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar), at an approximate rate of .78 cubic meters per second. The transformation is not even, with hollow pustules occurring regularly throughout the process. The size of these pustules is directly related to the size of the object being transmuted, and are most often seen forming around obstructions not physically attached to the structure being affected. The transmutation will continue until the entire object has been converted.
Samples of wood taken from SCP-1111 affected objects have enlarged xylem and are capable of accelerated water transport. Ships converted by SCP-1111’s effects will become waterlogged within days and slowly sink. Any pustules present will rapidly fill with water.
(note): What SCP-1111 considers a seafaring vessel ranges from true ships to floating debris.
