SCP-098: Surgeon Crabs 


Item #: SCP-098 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Members of SCP-098 are to be 
kept ina 10 m x 20 m room with small pools of water and a sandy 
substrate. Rocks and driftwood are to be left in a random 
arrangement for SCP-098 to nest in. 


The enclosure is to be cleaned on a weekly basis. During this time, 
all members of SCP-098 are to be accounted for first, to prevent 
injury or death to personnel or SCP-098. Any members of SCP-098 
that appear ill or injured are to be removed and examined. 


Description: SCP-098 is a species of previously unknown 
crustacean. They resemble crabs, but rather than chelae, the front 
limbs terminate in knife-like structures that incorporate silica to form 
an extremely sharp edge. Specimens reach larger size than normal 
for land-dwelling arthropods, at 40 centimeters tall and as large as 
60 centimeters across. 


Specimens of SCP-098 prefer an environment with ready 
concealment and shallow pools of water. They are able to breathe 
both water and air, splitting their time between the two 
environments. They also are capable of vocalizations, using a 
larynx-like structure attached to primitive lungs. 


SCP-098 demonstrates pack-hunting behavior when attacking prey. 
When specimens detect a prey animal, they will attempt to surround 
it. They will mimic the sounds made by the creature, apparently to 
confuse it or to draw it into position. When ready, one specimen will 
approach the prey animal. When its attention is fixed on the first 
specimen, others will move behind the prey and attempt to cut the 
tendons of the legs or other limbs. They will continue to mimic the 
sounds the prey animal makes to disorient it. After making a cut, a 


specimen of SCP-098 will spit a viscous mucus over the wound. 
This substance hardens rapidly, preventing blood loss or infection. 
This continues until the prey animal is completely immobilized. 


At this point, specimens will begin to feed on the prey animal by 
cutting off small pieces of flesh. This begins with soft, readily 
accessible tissues, such as those of the face and extremities, before 
moving to other parts of the body. Specimens of SCP-098 will only 
feed so long as the prey animal is capable of respiration. Feeding 
can last several hours or several days, depending on the size of the 
prey animal and the number of specimens present. 


Specimens of SCP-098 show some ability to communicate, alerting 
each other to the presence of threats or potential food over short 
distances. It was initially thought that SCP-098 might display human- 
level intelligence, but are now believed to merely parrot human 
speech. 


SCP-098 normally poses little threat to adult humans, preferring 
smaller prey, such as dogs, cats, and small pigs. However, they 
have attacked larger prey when a sufficient number of specimens 
were present, or else other food was unavailable. 


SCP-098 was discovered in , Brazil, after a rash of child 
disappearances. 


Addendum 098-1: SCP-098 is more intelligent than previously 
thought. They adapt quickly to changes in their environment, and 
have shown an ability to remember patterns (such as feeding and 
cleaning times, and habitual movement of personnel entering their 
enclosure). Cleaning personnel must ensure that they regularly vary 
their routes through the enclosure to prevent incidents. Dr. Mann 
has taught several of them simple tricks, and they seem to 
understand the meanings of several commands. Testing will 
continue.

SCP-099: The Portrait 


Item #: SCP-099 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-099 is kept in a 1 m by 
75 cm wall-mounted, fireproof case in Gallery 27. Standard climate 
and humidity controls apply to this section of the Gallery. Due to its 
properties, SCP-099 can only be viewed within the gallery by Level 
2 staff or higher, and only from a distance greater than five meters 
and for a period not to exceed five minutes per day. When not being 
viewed, the case is to remain shut and electronically locked. 


Description: SCP-099 is a 73 by 50 cm painting titled "The 
Portrait." Created in 1935 by surrealist painter René Magritte, the 
original painting possesses memetic properties that trigger acute 
paranoia and lingering psychological effects when viewed for too 
long or from a distance of approximately three meters or less. The 
painting depicts a simple still life, with the addition of a single eye 
staring back at the viewer. 


A reproduction of the work currently hangs in the Museum of 
Modern Art in New York, with critical elements removed to prevent 
the paranoia trigger. For a detailed description of the changes, refer 
to Document 099b. Detailed reproductions and photographs of the 
original work retain its memetic properties. 


Those who have viewed the painting for too long or from too close of 
a distance become subject to the delusion that any being or 
depiction of a being with eyes is staring at them. In extreme cases, 
subjects report that inanimate objects are making eye contact. 


The condition is so severe that subjects will even report making eye 
contact with individuals whose heads are completely turned away. 
Depending on the length of the original exposure to the painting, 
subjects may suffer from this condition until death, resulting in 


severe paranoia and enochlophobia. 


Addendum: SCP-099 was recovered from the private collection of 
Kay Sage, another surrealist painter. Recovery was performed by 
MTF Theta-6 "Pink Panther." Mrs. Sage was unaware of the 
recovery and replacement of SCP-099, although pre-recovery 
investigation suggests she was aware of its properties and was 
either immune or careful not to look too closely. 


Magritte was still alive at the time SCP-099 was stored in Gallery 27. 
He remained under Foundation surveillance until his death in 1967. 
Research suggests that the painting's memetic trigger was 
intentionally created, although the effect and power of the trigger 
was likely unintentional. The Foundation has studied the rest of 
Magritte's work and found no anomalous memetic properties to this 
date.

SCP-100: "Jamaican Joe's Junkyard Jubilee" 


Item #: SCP-100 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-100 is to have six (6) 
guards patrolling the interior of the perimeter's fencing, and two (2) 
guards dedicated to the monitoring of the interior and exterior of 
both warehouses and the residential building, with rotations to occur 
every three (3) hours. Any unauthorized personnel found within 
SCP-100 are to be detained for questioning, prior to amnestic 
administration and release. 


Three (3) guards are to remain within the storefront of SCP-100, 
with rotations to occur every eight (8) hours. The storefront front 
entrance is to remain locked at all times, with keys provided to 
necessary personnel. 'Private Property’ and 'No Trespassing' signs 
are to be posted on the front of the storefront to deter any drivers 
from stopping at SCP-100. 


Any constructs SCP-100-1 creates are to be removed from SCP-100 
and melted down into slag, with the exception of SCP-100-2-A and 
SCP-100-2-B. Should SCP-100-1 become uncooperative, 
SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B may be removed from SCP-100 
until the time that SCP-100-1 becomes cooperative again. 


The largest of the two (2) warehouses within SCP-100 has been 
converted into a basic research facility. All objects created by 
SCP-100-1, excluding SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B, may be 
used for research purposes. Testing on SCP-100-1 itself may only 
be conducted with written permission from the acting Head 
Researcher. 


Description: SCP-100 is an abandoned scrapyard eighty (80) 
kilometers from , south Carolina, known as "Jamaican Joe's 
Junkyard Jubilee". The scrapyard covers roughly five thousand 


(5,000) square meters of fenced-off land, consisting of two 
warehouses, a storefront, and a small residential building, as well as 
neglected land and land used for storage. SCP-100 holds roughly 
fifteen hundred (1,500) vehicles, both pressed and unpressed, as 
well as roughly fourteen hundred (1,400) kilograms of separate 
scrap, estimated to be worth $5,000 (€3,870). 


SCP-100's anomalous effect manifests through SCP-100-1 and its 
constructs, including SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B. Autonomy is 
lost when SCP-100-1 or one of its objects cross the fenced 
perimeter of SCP-100, remaining in this state until reintroduction. 


SCP-100-1 is an autonomous, sapient, humanoid construct 
consisting mostly of copper piping, uninsulated copper wiring, and 
aluminum cans. SCP-100-1 lacks the ability for written or verbal 
communication; however, it possesses the ability to communicate 
using rudimentary sign language. SCP-100-1 is largely uninterested 
in conversation outside of sales, and information gathered from it 
has been limited. SCP-100-1 appears to possess skill in 
craftsmanship, demonstrating the ability to operate tools such as arc 
welders, drills, and power saws, as well as heavy machinery such as 
a car compressor and a fork lift. 


SCP-100-1 possesses the ability to create autonomous constructs 
similar to itself, using material available within SCP-100. SCP-100-1 
tends to create four (4) specific animals - iguanas, crocodiles, 
turtles, and flamingos - however, SCP-100-1 has been known to 
craft other species, such as domestic pets. To maintain compliance, 
SCP-100-1 has been allowed to keep two (2) objects, labeled 
SCP-100-2-A and SCP-100-2-B.
