Item #: SCP-TH-06-18
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-TH-06-18 is to be contained within a high-security, soundproof chamber at Site-TH-███. The chamber must be equipped with blast-resistant walls, floors, and ceiling to mitigate potential containment breaches. Any personnel entering SCP-TH-06-18's chamber must wear full-body protective suits to prevent any form of physical contact.
SCP-TH-06-18's chamber should be inspected regularly for structural integrity, and any damage should be repaired promptly. Site-TH-███ is to maintain a dedicated containment breach response team trained to handle SCP-TH-06-18's emergencies. A remote audiovisual monitoring system must be in place to keep constant surveillance.
Description: SCP-TH-06-18, colloquially known as "The Creeper," is a hostile and grotesque entity resembling a tall, emaciated humanoid figure, its body covered in tattered and soot-blackened clothing. Its most distinctive feature is its elongated, skeletal limbs and a face devoid of eyes, nose, or mouth. The entity is entirely hairless and emits a low, ominous hum that grows louder as it becomes agitated.
SCP-TH-06-18 is capable of teleportation and is known to appear and disappear suddenly, often with the intent of stalking its prey. When it teleports, it generates an ear-piercing, static-like noise that can induce severe auditory distress in humans, leading to headaches, disorientation, and, in extreme cases, permanent hearing loss.
Despite its emaciated appearance, SCP-TH-06-18 possesses an alarming level of physical strength and agility, capable of breaching containment through sheer force and maneuvering through even the most secure areas with ease. It is also known for its ability to secrete a corrosive, black substance that can disintegrate materials upon contact, further posing a significant challenge to containment.
SCP-TH-06-18's most unsettling trait is its behavior. The entity has been observed to stalk individuals, seemingly fixating on one target at a time. Its modus operandi involves lurking in the shadows and tormenting its prey psychologically, using its teleportation abilities and inhuman appearance to induce intense fear, paranoia, and hallucinations.
Over time, exposure to SCP-TH-06-18's presence results in severe psychological trauma. Affected individuals may experience night terrors, hallucinations of loved ones turning into grotesque monsters, and the constant sensation of being pursued. These psychological effects have led to instances of self-harm, suicide attempts, and full-blown psychotic breakdowns.
Addendum TH-06-18-01: The origin of SCP-TH-06-18 remains unknown, and its motives are a subject of ongoing research. Several attempts to communicate with or reason with the entity have proven unsuccessful, as it seems entirely driven by its malevolent compulsion to cause torment and fear.
The nature of SCP-TH-06-18's effects on human psychology and its unpredictable behavior make it a unique and highly dangerous anomaly. It poses a severe threat to containment and the well-being of individuals exposed to its presence. Its Keter classification reflects the constant danger it represents, necessitating vigilant monitoring and research into potential countermeasures.
