Item #: SCP-3812
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3812 is to be contained in a large cubic steel mesh cage, approximately 1 x 1 x 0.5 kilometres, at Site █████. The cage is to contain a rainforest environment to simulate the natural habitat of SCP-3812, which is at █████████████, Australia.
Six agents, namely Sieger Hall, Ratner Aersens, Hagen Close, Saral Hendry, Elanor Read and Leo Abel are permitted to enter the cage at a random time twice daily, the first in between 6:00 AM and 11:59 AM and the second in between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM. It is essential that only these agents are to enter as they are trained in evasion tactics and weapons use, and carry enough trust on their positions to have firearms. Agents are to enter the cage in military grade ghillie suits, in possession of two adult cows, one cornet, painted in Scorpion W2 camo, and one M4A1 assault rifle each, which are to be painted in Scorpion W2 camo. They are to enter the cage through one of five entry points, which will be picked randomly. Entry points one, two, three and four are located on the North, East, South and West sides of the cage respectively, and entry point five is a small hatch hidden inside the enclosure which is connected to a tunnel leading outside the enclosure.
Once inside the enclosure, all six agents are to lie down in their ghillie suits. Agent Leo Abel is to then blow the cornet and release the cows, and all six agents are to remain still and silent laying on the ground until SCP-3812 consumes or removes the cows from sight, SCP-3812 moves out of sight, and Agent Sieger Hall gives the all clear. Agents are then to move out of the enclosure through the point which they entered. If at any time conflict occurs between SCP-3812 and agents within the enclosure, agents are permitted to fire at SCP-3812 using provided M4A1 assualt rifles.
Description: SCP-3812 is a reptilian creature approximately ten metres long. It is very similar to dragons depicted in Chinese mythology, and possesses the ability to fly despite having no wings or other flying mechanisms. Its head is remarkably similar to that of Tyrannosaurus, but with two eyes on each side of the head, none of which contain eyeballs, but rather an orange dot which glows in the centre of each eye socket. It has four limbs, each with 5 taloned claws and a scaly body, consistent with dragons of Chinese mythology. Radiometric dating of SCP-3812's scales indicate prehistoric heritage. It is currently believed that SCP-3812 had previous residence in China and was the basis of dragon mythology, and that it may have even been worshipped as a symbol of power and good luck. Current testing is underway to determine the swimming ability of SCP-3812.
SCP-3812 has an incredibly long tongue, measuring two metres long. It has a single row of fourty pointed fangs, all coloured blue, two of which on the top measure at thirty centimetres long, with all the rest measuring at ten cm. SCP-3812 has been observed to fly from 20 km/h to ███ km/h at a maximum height of ██ km, and scales of SCP-3812 have been found in neighbouring countries to Australia, such as China, India, Russia and even a few in Madagascar. It is unknown whether there are more instances of SCP-3812 in the wild, if SCP-3812 is capable of intercontinental travel, or both. The scales of SCP-3812 are made of an unknown material which is currently being investigated. These scales are heavily resistant to bullets, acid, fire, pressure, explosives, electric shocks and several other forms of attack, although SCP-3812 still seems to feel pain from the impact of bullets and explosives despite the protection of the scales.
SCP-3812 has been observed to change colour based on its environment- when flying it has changed colour to blue and white to match the sky around it, and in its current enclosure mainly remains a dark shade of green which is consistent with its rainforest environment. SCP-3812 is predatory and exclusively carnivorous, but will always go for larger prey. It is extremely intelligent, hence the random entry time and point which was implemented after Incident 3812-1. It has unique attack methods- it will eat its prey from the inside out, attacking the stomach, then going inside its prey and working its way up to the head by eating all vital organs from the inside. It will then emerge from the head and exit the now deceased corpse of its victim, leaving the empty carcass behind.

SCP-3812 Recovery Log
Foundation Members were alerted to the presence of SCP-3812 after a video was posted online with the title "Amazing Chinese Dragon Dance", which has since been taken down by Foundation personnel. In the video, SCP-3812 is seen flying around close to the ground, while dialogue is heard in the background, such as:
"Wow, that's an amazing performance, you can't even see the legs of the people inside!"
and
"That costume is so detailed!"
SCP-3812 then moves into a bush and applause for the "performance" is heard in the background. Foundation personnel quickly track the uploader of the video and interview him, where he reveals that the video was filmed at ████████, Australia. Foundation personnel then dispatch Team Zulu 6- A and Team Bravo 3- A to the filming location, who set up a trap. The trap consists of two adult cows, tied to a tree, with one of the cows having a large copper sheet on his back which is electrically charged. One of the cows is whipped and both get startled, mooing and stamping, which seemingly attracts the attention of SCP-3812. SCP-3812 moves to the location of the cows and bites the first cow, tearing it apart and swallowing it whole. SCP-3812 then proceeds to bite the second cow, but is electrocuted and falls unconscious. Teams Zulu 6- A and Bravo 3- A then tie up SCP-3812 and take it to Site █████████.
Closing statement: It was lucky that SCP-3812 did not attack civilians before being captured. It is assumed that SCP-3812 purposely did not attack civilians for fear of being revealed and instead 'acted' to seem inconspicuous.
Incident Report: 3812-1
On December ██, 201█, 5:55 PM, SCP-3812 camouflaged above entry point 1, which was the only entry point in use at the time. 5 minutes later, at 6:00 PM, which was the designated feeding time, six agents entered the enclosure of SCP-3812. SCP-3812 then swooped down at a speed of ██ km/h and escaped from the enclosure, knocking over all six agents in the process. Security personnel discharged their weapons at SCP-3812, to no visible effect. SCP-3812 was tracked via a pre- installed tracking device, where it was observed to fly to [DATA EXPUNGED]. Upon arriving at [DATA EXPUNGED], it performed Incident 3812-2, before being caught up to by Team Zulu 3-A. It attempted to fly away, but fell from the sky after being hit by a T-4 HEDT launcher. SCP-3812 was then tranquilised and taken back to its enclosure at Site ██████. The blast from the T-4 HEDT launcher seemed to have no visible injury except a few burnt scales. This incident saw the start of the use of random times and entry points daily to prevent a repeat of this containment breach.
Incident Report: 3812-2
On December ██, 201█, during the events of Incident 3812-1, SCP-3812 attacked a jetliner containing members of the ██████ military cabinet, which had taken off from ███████████████ International Airport and was headed to an air base in █████. SCP-3812 reportedly attacked the side of the aircraft, causing it to split in half and fall into the █████ Sea, killing all ██ people on board. The foundation paid a ransom of $██ million to the ██████ government to claim that the crash was caused by faulty wing flaps on the aircraft. SCP-3812 was later captured and returned to Site ██████ as reported in Incident 3812-1.
Incident Report: 3812-3
On January 21, 2017, 8:00 PM, a D-Class (D-53734) slipped past security personnel and entered the enclosure of SCP-3812 through entrance point 3. This alerted SCP-3812, who promptly camouflaged in a heavily weeded area near entrance point 3 and waited for D-53734 to pass, before sneaking up behind D-53734, still camouflaged. SCP-3812 then proceeded to knock over a tree in the direction that D-53734 was walking and quickly move behind D-53734. The falling tree startled D-53734, who quickly turned around and started to run away, but was met by SCP-3812 who came out of camoflague right in front of D-53734. D-53734 then screamed for help, which alerted security personnel. Security personnel began firing at SCP-3812, who seemed to not be attacking D-53734. D-53734 was then escorted out of the enclosure and placed in a cell until further notice.
Interview: 3812-1
Interviewed: D-53734
Interviewer: Dr. Gabe Johnson
Foreword: Interview of D-53734 after Incident 3812-3
<Begin Log, 7:21 PM>
Dr. Johnson: What the hell did you do? You're lucky to be alive.
D-53734: I went into that dragon thing's enclosure. It scared the shit out of me.
Dr. Johnson: Give me a run through of what you did and what happened in there. Lying will only add more punishment onto what you're already getting for jeopardising containment. We have the security guys waiting outside as witnesses.
D-53734: I slipped past those jackass security guys, they were busy playing cards. I went into the enclosure through the side gate and started walking. I had heard people talking about that thing and I wanted to see for myself- a fucking Chinese dragon? Anyway, I was walking through the forest, and I couldn't see or hear anything. I thought the thing was asleep. Nobody told me it could turn itself into grass-
Dr. Johnson: Why would we tell you? You're not even supposed to know about the thing, let alone break into its goddamn enclosure!
D-53734: I don't give a shit. I'm sick of having to deal with creepy shit around this facility. My mate died yesterday because he fucking blinked at some autistic creature. We were promised our safety. Anyway, listen to my fucking story. I was walking through, minding my own business, and there wasn't movement or sound anywhere. Suddenly this huge fucking tree falls in front of me and it scares the shit out of me, so I turn to run but it's right behind me. I just yell for security, and it just stands there and stares at me, then when security starts firing at it it runs back off into the bush.
Dr. Johnson: It stared at you? It didn't attack or anything?
D-53734: Nope, just looked at me. It kinda looked amused. It probably wasn't hungry and just wanted to fuck with me.
Dr. Johnson: It was playing with its food? We gotta have some more intelligence testing.
<End Log, 7:50 PM>
Closing Statement: Additional testing is currently underway, mainly focusing on intelligence and communication.
