Description: SCP-2831 is the collective designation for a race of 
small humanoids. They are completely built out of common ivy 
leaves, aside from the tips of the fingers, which appear to be 
sharpened sticks. They are approximately 50 centimetres tall, and 
have no visible facial features aside from a pair of shallow holes on 
the front of the head, presumed to be the eyes. Colonies of 
SCP-2831 have, as of yet, only been found in Ireland, primarily in 
and around the small village of , near the town of Cahir. The 
current known population is confined to an area . km outside 

(SEE CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES). Despite this, it is suspected 
that there may be unknown colonies of SCP-2831 in other locations. 


When in a forested environment, specimens of SCP-2831 are 
usually peaceful, and generally avoid humans. However, 
approximately every 3 days, SCP-2831 groups will travel out of the 
forest to terraform new habitat. When in a non-forested environment, 
such as a town or city, specimens of SCP-2831 become highly 
dangerous. Colonies of displaced specimens of SCP-2831 will seek 


out groups of humans (other species have been proposed to 
SCP-2831 colonies, all have been roundly rejected) and seek to 
transform them into a new home for the group. When a specimen of 
SCP-2831 makes skin contact with a human, a transmutation 
process occurs. Bone grows out of the feet and roots the human to 
the floor. Next, the legs fuse together, and the arms fuse to the side 
of the body. The bone, muscle and blood of the subject begin to turn 
into the heartwood, sapwood, and other inner-tree bark. The skin 
then transmutes into cambium and outer-tree bark. This process is 
noted to work its way methodically up from the feet of the affected 
human. The hair on the scalp of the affected human then thickens 
and stretches out into branches, which then sprout leaves. The 
human stretches to around 4 metres in height during this process. 
When the procedure is over, the human is left looking 
indistinguishable from a normal tree. The species of tree which the 
affected subject becomes varies, but it appears to be typically either 
birch or oak. Analysis of the bark of the newly created trees have 
revealed that only trace amounts of human biological substances 
are present. 


Another anomalous property noted by personnel is that animals 
seem to be attracted to the forests created by SCP-2831 colonies. 
Researchers observing newly created SCP-2831 homes have noted 
groups of beetles, bees, wasps, mice, deer, and squirrels heading 
towards the new trees. Personnel have also noted that plants often 
found in forests, such as ferns, moss and ivy, will seemingly grow 
out of hard ground or the trees themselves, with no seeds involved. 
As with the trees, analysis has revealed trace human biological 
substances in their genetic makeup. 


Observations of SCP-2831 communities has revealed that there 
appears to be a hierarchy. The largest instance always seems to be 
the governor of each respective community, taking control of the 
smaller specimens. SCP-2831 specimens appear to communicate 
with each other through simplistic vocal clicking noises. As 
SCP-2831 specimens have no visible mouth or nose, it is unknown 
how these vocalisations are produced. Inscriptions, carved into the 
ground and trees, have also been found to be created by SCP-2831, 
which appear to be the medieval language alphabet of Ogham. 
Specimens of SCP-2831 have not displayed any need for 


sustenance, and appear to be able to live indefinitely. It is unknown 
exactly how intelligent SCP-2831 instances are, but as they are able 
to identify and seek out humans, it is suspected that they have near 
or equal intelligence to humans. 


Addendum 01: Research by the Foundation has found that stories 
and legends of creatures highly resembling SCP-2831 are heavily 
ingrained in the folklore of . It is unknown if there are people 
who are truly aware of the existence of SCP-2831 as more than a 
folk tale. 


Personnel discovered a small mosaic on the side of a building, 
which appeared to display a creature very similar to an instance of 
SCP-2831. The mosaic displays a creature seemingly chasing a 
man through a simplistic forest. 


Interviews with villagers have determined that they are unaware of 
where the stories originate from. Foundation research has 
uncovered that the first mention of a creature resembling SCP-2831 
is from the 12th century. Research is continuing. 


As the existence of SCP-2831 appears to be nothing more than a 
myth in , the Foundation has decided to keep the stories, poems 
and artwork in circulation. 


Addendum 02: Personnel have translated some of the inscriptions 
made in the SCP-2831 containment zone. They are all written in 
Ogham. 


welcome, brethren. meet we will here 
the rock ones, we welcome you 

the sky ones, we welcome you 

we have built this land for peace for us 
there is no threat here 


To find out if these inscriptions were in any way able to be 
prompted, personnel captured an SCP-2831 specimen and 
attempted to prompt them with questions written in Ogham. The 


SCP-333-A-B 1-9 and Operation indicates beyond a shadow 
of a doubt that SCP-333-A dictates any and all occurrences within 
SCP-333-B, including activity of Foundation personnel and 
SCP-333-C. All further testing of SCP-333 is hereby suspended 
indefinitely.

Test A- //20 


Subject: SCP-2831 captured specimen 
Procedure: SCP-2831 captured specimen 
was prompted with a question written in 
Ogham on a plank of wood, which read "Why 
are you changing people?" 

Results: SCP-2831 captured specimen 
seemed to stare at the question for a long 
time, before scratching in a response 
underneath. This response read: we are 
building the world for the arrival of the fellow 
ones. we awoke first. they will come to find a 
world at peace. 


TestB- //20 


Subject: SCP-2831 captured specimen. 
Procedure: SCP-2831 captured specimen 
was prompted with a question which read 
"Who are the fellow ones?" 

Results: SCP-2831 captured specimen only 
stared at the question for a few seconds, 
before scratching a response underneath. The 
response read: they are our brethren. the rock 
ones, the sky ones, and the mist ones. they 
will join us and bring peace. 


Test C- //20 


Subject: SCP-2831 captured specimen 
Procedure: SCP-2831 captured specimen 
prompted with question which read "When are 
the fellow ones coming?" 

Results: SCP-2831 scratched the response 
almost immediately. The response read: when 
the world is ready, and trees are all. we have 


been building for hundreds of years. when all 
is trees, peace will be, and they will come. 


After Test C, SCP-2831 refused to answer any more 
questions, and was released back into containment site.

SCP-2832: Hubris 


Item #: SCP-2832 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Prototype Testing Facility 145 
has been evacuated, with only a skeleton crew remaining to monitor 
SCP-2832. Site-22 will no longer be used to contain anomalous 
objects', instead serving as a staging area for the SCP-2832 
containment team. 


A circumference and Hume reading is to be recorded once every 24 
hours at 13:45, five minutes prior to SCP-2832's regular activation 
event. Testing equipment should be relocated away from the 
perimeter at a rate of 1 meter every 250 days, to a point 5 meters 
away from SCP-2832, and a new perimeter chalked at 1 meter from 
the threshold. At least two redundant Kant counters are to be kept 
on-site at all times, along with at least one set of backups for all 
other monitoring equipment. All personnel will be briefed on 
Foundation survivor benefits packages prior to taking assignment 
with SCP-2832. 


Mobile Task Force Kappa-7 ("Faux Bull, Masked Horse") is 
stationed on-site and is to be mobilized prior to any activation events 
or testing. MTF Kappa-7 must remain in the testing chamber while 
SCP-2832 is in its active phase. When not engaged in active 
defense, MTF Kappa-7 is to focus efforts on maintaining the 
structural integrity of the testing chamber. 


Research is to focus on the link between Hume levels and activation 
effects, as well as ways to reduce, halt or counteract the expansion 
of SCP-2832. SCP-2832 will make contact with SCP- in 
approximately 120 years. The consequences of this event cannot be 
foreseen. 


Description: SCP-2832 is an unstable cylindrical spatial anomaly 


with a radius of 11.45 meters@, centered around SERS Prototype 
Unit Xi-2 in Prototype Testing Facility 1453. 


Once every 24 hours, SCP-2832's radius expands 1-4mm while the 
anomaly simultaneously enters its active phase. The particular effect 
present during any given active phase varies per event, and no 
pattern in or repetition of the effects of SCP-2832 has been 
determined. In 65% of activations thus recorded, the effect has 
lasted the entire 24 hour period. In the other 35% of events, 
SCP-2832 enters a passive state upon expiration of the effect. 
During its passive state, the anomaly becomes impermeable, with 
the exterior taking on an appearance similar to frosted glass, and 
the SERS unit visible at its center. 


Scranton Reality Anchors have no measurable effect on SCP-2832, 
and no method of reducing its expansion has thus far been devised. 


History: Prototype Testing Facility 145 was an autonomous wing of 
Site-22 built for research and development in 1997. SERS Prototype 
Unit Xi-2 had been commissioned on 08/01/2009 for modifications 
meant to counter non-Euclidean intra- and extradimensional 
incursions. A routine test on 28/02/2009 resulted in the appearance 
of a transparent shell around the unit once it was powered on, 
causing damage to floor and ceiling tiles in the testing chamber. 
After ascertaining that the unit could no longer be accessed or 
controlled, either remotely or directly, the chamber was cleared and 
preliminary containment procedures enacted. 


The first activation event, and subsequent expansion of the 
anomaly, was recorded at 13:50 on 01/03/2009, five minutes after a 
baseline Hume reading was taken inside the chamber. SCP-2832 
was Classified Keter on 02/03/2009, by unanimous vote of the O5 
Council.
