Item #: SCP-068
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-068 is to be contained in a standard Safe-class containment locker in Site-██. SCP-068-1 is to be kept in Site-██ for testing and observation purposes. Testing activities are to take place in the same hallway as SCP-068, and may not take more than four hours. If at any point SCP-068 becomes unruly, it is to be removed from storage and research. SCP-068 is to be kept in a standard Safe-class containment locker with its containment cabinet filled with MTF Omicron-032. Possible containment procedures may be approved at the discretion of O5-██.
Description: SCP-068 is a 6.4-kilogram, ten-tailed animal of indigenous South American (O. rufian) origin.
Research is ongoing to determine the nature and purpose of the anomalous properties of SCP-068 and a possible link to SCP-███.
SCP-068 was recovered from the home of Mr. ████████, who after being interviewed stated that he was paying Mr. ████████ for a return on his investment account in order to acquire SCP-068. He was also able to provide a sample of the sarcophagus of SCP-068.
When said sarcophagus is opened the sarcophagus has a slight infestation of a variant of the shallow-water fungus Calyctomycopsis lutea resembling colonic bacteria. To date this Archaurean fungus has so far not been detected by any non-anomalous organisms in SCP-0682's environment.
All anomalous effects of SCP-068 manifest whenever an organism within SCP-0682 consumes the sarcophagus of SCP-068.
Within a few hours SCP-0682 will consume its own sarcophagus, rejecting any non-anomalous organisms or plant life on SCP-0682's surface. This cocooning process has been known to only occur within SCP-0682's sarcophagus, and will not occur should the parent organism be otherwise incapable of defending itself following a change in external environmental conditions. SCP-0682 will continue to consume the sarcophagus until such time as it finds a non-anomalous food source.
Level 3 containment procedures are to be approved by O4-██ prior to testing.
Description: SCP-0682 is a white creature with a human-like face, developed from the left side, and dark brown skin. SCP-0682-1 is a group of four human-shaped protrusions formed from layers of bone and muscle of similar composition. It is a bodily organ, containing a complicated array of sub-organizations: structures, cells, and structures. SCP-0682-1 is the hub of the mass of SCP-0682.
Any living human or species of organism
In its dormant state SCP-0682-1 is encased within several cubic meters of the bones, muscle, and eventually bone. This mass is indistinguishable from an average D-class male bone.
After the initial break-up of a host organism, SCP-0682-1 will usually be eaten and liquified, eventually incinerating as it incinerates organic matter.
In other words, SCP-0682-1 is not an anomaly.
During testing, SCP-0682-1 will be replaced for the set of insects by a group of roughly the same size, perhaps even smaller.
Because of this, test subject is not required to keep an exact count of the number of things.
SCP-0682-2
The following document describes the former Site-██ Foundation Laboratory, and contains a number of anomalous anomalies. The laboratory has been shut down, and its files sealed all anomalous data about itself.
Five Months Later: Site-██
