Item #: SCP-#

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: An altar to the God of the Roman Catholic faith is built inside a standard cell. Enclosure leading to the Item is constructed from reinforced concrete.

The subject is allowed the following items in its cell:

  • A sleeping rug
  • A copy of the Holy Bible (request by subject to have access to its personal copy is denied.)
  • Paper and stationery
  • Religious paraphernalia (Catholic rosary, images of Catholic figures such as Jesus Christ and saints, a crucifix)

SCP-# requires a personnel visit once a day to accompany it in prayer. Ordained priests of its apparent faith are prohibited. Unleavened bread and grapes must be supplied daily in lieu of the standard meal plan.

Description: SCP-# is a large, malformed, obese humanoid male 3 m in height and 250 kg in weight. Cancerous growths appear on SCP-#'s upper cranium, upper ribcage, and lower back, all having collapsed into its body. The tumors extend up to 20 cm from the original growth, creating a "lumpy" mass around SCP-#.

SCP-# has abnormally large extremities and hands. Hand span is about 21 cm; arm length is 1.2 m. SCP-# has two stomachs and multiple unknown organs located in its tumors that help contain excess fats and liquids. SCP-# does not possess hair.

SCP-# has multiple unhealed burn and scar wounds similar to that made by iron brands. The insignia of the Roman Catholic Church has been branded on its forehead, abdomen, hands and backside. Closer analysis reveals that SCP-# was subject to several whippings and beatings. Faint evidence of surgical incisions and sutures is visible.

Whenever possible, SCP-# will kneel down on the nearest Roman Catholic altar and assume a praying position. If other subjects (research personnel, security guards, etc.) are nearby, it will gesture for them to join it in prayer. SCP-# is docile and retreats to this position when under stress.

Circumstances of Recovery: SCP-# was found praying at the altar of a Roman Catholic church in [REDACTED]. It had consumed all of the communion wafers and wine present and had a personal Bible at the time of recovery. This Bible had several handwritten pages which are assumed to be made by SCP-#. The transcript is seen below, translated from Spanish:

… They did work on my hands next, made them bigger. "To make them more fit for praying", the Father said. I think he means the opposite. Kneeling at the altar was never so difficult before. But perhaps it has…

May Jesus Christ bless whoever will find him through my accounts. My blessing has come! Finally, I am released. Though I am sad to see the Father and his priests go, now is the time to start over. As a child of God.

I'm so tired.

I've made my first miracle! The first whom I have converted into his light now joins me in prayer.

I had thought that I was one of them now. A shepherd of God, working under thick flesh as his cloth. I welcomed them into the chapel at early morning, the local pastor and the young man. I was welcomed back, though I do recall the aghast expressions on their faces at first greeting. I was honestly surprised how open they received me. The three of us talked thru the dawn, about the Father's mission in the village and the boy's path to priesthood.

This went on for a while, and I enjoyed every moment. They saw me as a new sort of shepherd, one sprung out from the glutton. Who, despite his pain, renounced his ways unto God.

Then in the morning during Mass the pastors drag me inside the rooms, underneath the cellar (I have never known the Church shares the vineyards with the Serpent) to hide me from those who come to worship.

The Father has returned. He is not the same.
