Threat Level: Red
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained within a cryogenic refrigerator unit. The unit itself is kept at an average of -250°C through the use of magnetic refrigeration to induce an extremely low-temperature environment.
The walls of the chamber outside the unit are lined with a hafnium carbide exterior and with blast-shield windows coated in starlite.
In the event that SCP-XXXX breaches containment, personnel on-duty are to wear thermal proximity suits and arm themselves with portable cryocoolers and laser decelerators. Standard anomaly termination protocols apply as the entity is has been deemed Condemned.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a tall humanoid entity (2.7m in height) composed of superheated plasma and fire. SCP-XXXX exhibits a vague humanlike visage that fluctuates between a skeletal appearance from the upper torso to the head.
SCP-XXXX's is extremely hot; the average temperature emanating from the main body can range between 9200 to 10000K. Exposure to extremely low temperatures can cause SCP-XXXX to lose some of its mass and even enervation; weakening it significantly. However, this does not mean that SCP-XXXX experiences thermal equilibrium as the entity is seemingly able to generate plasma, flames, and increase its own temperature if given enough time to recuperate.
Areas and objects burned by SCP-XXXX's flames will quickly begin to sprout vegetation. Foliage produced by these burns will always grow on the surface regardless of the material it was made of. On the likelihood that individuals burnt by SCP-XXXX survive, they will usually succumb to a combined force of exsanguination and strangulation from the resulting plant life that will grow from the burnt flesh; invariably leading to death.
SCP-XXXX is sentient and is hostile to all human life. The entity will actively attack individuals by projecting fire at the targets.
SCP-XXXX was originally created as part of a series of experiments under Project Naraka
.
Project Codename: Naraka
Project#: PRJNAR-000616
Project Lead: General Bruce Lannigan
Head Researcher: Doctor Achilles Worthington
Project Aims: To successfully weaponize any anomalous item or entity to the benefit of the Foundation and develop appropriate countermeasures.
Project Description: Project Naraka is a program intended to utilize the available anomalies contained in the Foundation to function as a necessary defensive assault to any threat that would endanger the human race or the Foundation itself.
Cleared under the Bowe Commission, Naraka was a series of experimental projects with a set of goals. While the ethical nature of Naraka has been called into question, these issues have been set aside primarily as it aided in research as well as functioned as a necessary protection against would-be threats.
This project, alongside Project Olympia led by General Mulhausen, and Project Heimdall led by General Pendergast, all functioned as part of General Bowe's "Trinity Program" under his commission for the Foundation.

Item #: SCP-5988
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: A zone of exclusion has been set up surrounding the place of SCP-5988's first discovery. This security perimeter is to be set with the cover story regarding the SCP-5988's status as an endangered species.
MTF-Pi-9 ("Fun Guys") is to handle any reported sightings or investigations of other SCP-5988 instances outside the United Kingdom.
Description: SCP-5988 is a species of mushroom located in the Gisburn Forest of Lancashire, England. SCP-5988 appears as a long-stalked toadstool with an umbonate cap coated in an unidentified thick black liquid. SCP-5988 is safe for human consumption and does not induce negative effects when eaten raw. Despite this edibility, individuals are repulsed by its taste, describing it to the likes of cough syrup or blood clots.
SCP-5988's anomalous effects manifest when it is cleaned with water. When the liquid is washed off, SCP-5988 emits a pleasant scent that triggers the olfactory cortex in the brain of the individual. This odor will cause the individual to develop an increased appetite towards SCP-5988.
When cooked and eaten, SCP-5988 will immediately induce violent abdominal pain and vomiting in the individual. The resulting vomitus will quickly transform in size and shape into an instance of SCP-5988-1.
SCP-5988-1 are creatures that resemble humanoid or animal entities which are hostile to the individual that consumed SCP-5988 and will attempt to kill them. Upon killing the individual, SCP-5988-1 will demanifest from the area. Once the corpse of the individual decays, New SCP-5988 instances will begin to grow from the stomach and head and will slowly spread all over the body, suggesting that SCP-5988 are saprotrophic entities.
SCP-5988 seem to be biologically immortal; data analysis of the species has put the age at around seven hundred years for the youngest and six thousand years among the oldest. It is not known how these entities have survived for this long.
Addendum 5988.1: List of recorded SCP-5988-1 instances
| D-Class designation |
Description of the entity manifested |
Notable traits |
| D-33121 |
Instance appeared to be a large tarantula composed of human hands and fingers. |
The ends of the instance's appendages took the form of smaller human hands with the mandibles composed of smaller fingers. The entity's eyes were noted to be human eyes. |
| D-11000 |
Instance took the form of a feline made out of human tongues and black slugs. |
Entity bore a long prehensile tongue which was also made out of human tongues and black slugs. |
| D-78246 |
Entity took on a male human form. The instance lacked any identifiable facial features, hair, and genitalia. |
The entity's body split vertically in half, tearing through its skin, to reveal a large human mouth with its teeth afflicted with gangrene. Blood samples obtained from the torn skin of the instance matched those of D-78246. |
| D-55535 |
Instance took the appearance of a black canid entity. The instance's body absorbed all light pointed at its direction. Entity vocalized in a highly distorted baritone voice. |
Upon killing D-55535, multiple human eyes of varying sizes began to open across the instance's body before vanishing. |
| D-90002 |
Entity took on an elongated female human form. This instance was similar to the entity that killed D-78246 with the exception that the entity had approximately ten legs, female human breasts, long hair, and a large gaping hole where its face should be. |
Personnel reported the presence of teeth and eyes inside the "face" of the entity. |
Discovery: SCP-5988 was discovered in a large field within the southeastern part of the Gisburn Forest. The field contained thousands of SCP-5988 instances spread around the center. A portion of the field was excavated to reveal that the colony was feeding on a large burial site. The remains of the corpses recovered have been analysed to date back thousands of years.
