Item #: SCP-TH-06-12
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-TH-06-12 is to be contained within a maximum-security, underground chamber at Site-TH-███. The chamber must be equipped with reinforced steel walls and doors to prevent any unauthorized access. Access to SCP-TH-06-12's chamber is restricted to personnel with Level 4 security clearance or higher, and all interactions must be authorized by the Site Director.
SCP-TH-06-12's chamber is to be monitored via closed-circuit cameras 24/7. A remote-controlled robotic system is to be used for all interactions with SCP-TH-06-12 to minimize the risk of physical contact. Any personnel entering the chamber should be equipped with high-intensity floodlights to counter SCP-TH-06-12's ability to control shadows.
Description: SCP-TH-06-12, often referred to as "Herobrine," is a malevolent and nightmarish entity that appears as a tall, humanoid figure with blank, all-white eyes and a dark, featureless face. Its appearance is obscured by a tattered, hooded robe that conceals its form entirely, leaving only its piercing, white eyes visible.
SCP-TH-06-12 has the ability to manipulate and control shadows, granting it the power to manifest and move within them at will. It is known to appear suddenly in dark, unlit areas, often with the intent of stalking or pursuing specific individuals. When it manifests, it emits an eerie, otherworldly hum that grows louder as it becomes agitated.
The entity has been observed to engage in a series of psychological torment and terror tactics, particularly when stalking its prey. It has the ability to create disturbing and nightmarish illusions, often featuring grotesque and distorted versions of loved ones or personal fears. These illusions are indistinguishable from reality, leading to severe psychological trauma in those exposed to them.
Over time, SCP-TH-06-12's psychological effects intensify, causing affected individuals to experience extreme paranoia, hallucinations, and night terrors. The constant fear of being pursued and the inability to discern reality from illusion lead to mental deterioration, violent outbursts, and, in some cases, self-harm and suicide attempts.
Addendum TH-06-12-01: The origin and motives of SCP-TH-06-12 remain shrouded in mystery. Numerous attempts to communicate with the entity have proven futile, as it appears solely driven by its compulsion to inflict psychological torment and fear on its victims. SCP-TH-06-12's behavior suggests a deep-seated malevolence and a relentless pursuit of those it chooses to torment.
Its ability to manipulate shadows and create nightmarish illusions pose a significant threat to containment and the well-being of individuals exposed to its presence. The Keter classification is well-justified, reflecting the constant danger it presents. Vigilant monitoring and research into effective countermeasures remain ongoing.
