Item #: SCP-TH-06-11
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-TH-06-11 is to be contained within a 5m x 5m x 5m lightproof containment chamber at Site-TH-███. The chamber must be equipped with reinforced steel walls, ceilings, and floors to prevent unauthorized access. The chamber should be illuminated with low-level, constant lighting to ensure SCP-TH-06-11 remains visible at all times.
Access to SCP-TH-06-11's chamber is restricted to personnel with Level 4 security clearance or higher. Any personnel entering the chamber must wear specialized, noise-cancelling headgear to mitigate the effects of SCP-TH-06-11's vocalizations and be equipped with high-intensity floodlights to counter its ability to manipulate shadows.
Description: SCP-TH-06-11, often referred to as "The Enderman," is a nightmarish and grotesque humanoid entity with elongated limbs and a featureless, pitch-black face. Its body is emaciated, covered in obsidian-black, mottled skin, and its appearance is accentuated by pulsating, violet particle effects. The entity's most distinctive feature is its glowing, magenta eyes, which are always seen locked onto its prey.
SCP-TH-06-11 possesses the ability to manipulate and control shadows, granting it the power to move within them at will. It is known to appear suddenly in dimly lit or unlit areas, often with the intent of stalking, pursuing, or teleporting toward specific individuals. When it manifests, it emits an unsettling, otherworldly vocalization, resembling distorted and dissonant electronic sounds.
The entity's behavior is characterized by its compulsion to pursue and torment specific individuals. SCP-TH-06-11 employs a combination of psychological and auditory manipulation to inflict fear and distress upon its prey. When stalking a target, it will engage in repeated, sudden teleportation and the manipulation of surrounding shadows to create an atmosphere of dread and paranoia.
Victims exposed to SCP-TH-06-11's presence experience severe psychological trauma. They report nightmarish hallucinations and auditory hallucinations that intensify over time, often involving distorted, terrifying versions of personal fears or loved ones. The inability to distinguish reality from illusion leads to profound paranoia, aggressive outbursts, and, in some cases, self-harm and suicide attempts.
Addendum TH-06-11-01: The origin and motives of SCP-TH-06-11 remain shrouded in mystery. Multiple 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 chosen victims.
SCP-TH-06-11's malevolent nature, its ability to manipulate shadows and create nightmarish illusions, and its relentless pursuit of specific individuals 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.
