SCP-2056: Tsiatko 


Item #: SCP-2056 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2056 is to be held in a 
forested enclosure 1 square kilometer in size. Perimeter fencing is to 
be constructed of concrete walls 4m in height, supplemented with 
electrified fencing to discourage approach by SCP-2056. 


Trees within the enclosure are to be examined on a monthly basis 
by 1 Foundation botanist, escorted by no fewer than 4 security 
personnel armed with gas-powered firearms loaded with 10mg 
Etorphine cartridges. Any trees determined to need replacement due 
to dessication are to be marked and replaced with transplanted 
specimens at the discretion of head researcher Knowles. 


The enclosure is to be guarded at all times by no less than four 
security personnel armed with gas-powered firearms loaded with 
10mg Etorphine cartridges. Testing is to be approved only by the 
Head Researcher (currently Dr. Knowles). 


Description: SCP-2056 is a bipedal humanoid, superficially 
resembling mammals from the Primatomorpha order. It measures 
approximately 2.5m in height, weighing approximately 180kg. The 
object's entire body is covered in coarse, dark brown hair. DNA 
testing of this hair has not yet yielded a match to any known order of 
mammal. SCP-2056 has retractable claws approximately 20cm in 
length. It possesses no notable resistance to physical trauma. 


The eyes of SCP-2056 are highly reflective, with no visible pupil or 
cornea. SCP-2056 lacks a jaw; its mouth is funnel-shaped and lined 
with pointed teeth, similar to members of the order 
Petromyzontiformes (lamprey). Prior to capture by the Foundation, 
evidence in the surrounding environment indicates that SCP-2056 
feeds on large trees and their surrounding soil in the area by 


latching onto them with its mouth, though the biological process 
through which it extracts nutrition is still being researched. Affected 
trees and soil were left in advanced stages of dessication and 
malnourishment, and survived in only 27% of cases. 


The behavior of SCP-2056 suggests increased intelligence in 
comparison with primates, and displays an antagonistic behavior 
pattern towards humans, although not exclusively physical 
aggression. By default its behavior towards humans includes 
generating sounds such as faint human laughter via a form of 
ventriloquism. How SCP-2056 is able to generate these sounds 
given its biology is unknown. Testing indicates that a lack of stress 
response from the subject, theorized to be desired by SCP-2056, 
will cause it to escalate to violence. 


Addendum: After extended time in captivity, SCP-2056 no longer 
engages in the behavior detailed above, instead retreating into the 
enclosure whenever security personnel or researchers enter. It will, 
however, still attempt to defend itself if approached too closely. 
When alone in its enclosure, SCP-2056 will generally remain 
stationary and lethargic. SCP-2056 will also sporadically vocalize, 
appearing to 'sing' for minutes at a time before falling silent. The 
purpose of this behavior has not yet been determined, but is 
theorized to be in response to its extended incarceration. 


Recovery Log: SCP-2056 was first brought to the attention of the 
Foundation in 19 after reports of missing persons in the area of Mt. 
Rainier National Park in Washington were publicly declared to be 
anomalous in nature by several Elders of the local Native American 
Salish First Nations. Three Foundation Agents were dispatched to 
perform an investigation, posing as journalists covering the 
disappearances. 


The following is a transcript of an audio interview of tribal Elder 
conducted by Agent 


Agent — : "Okay, it's recording. So you've, um... you 

and some of the other elders out here have come out 

saying these disappearances are paranormal? Could 

you tell me about that?" 

Elder :"l'm sure most of your readers will call it just 


superstitious nonsense from primitive people, but we 
know exactly what is taking these hikers. Going into the 
woods, in these lands, it is entering the territory of very 
old and very malevolent spirits. Have you ever heard of 
the Stick Indians?" 

Agent :"I have not. Tell me about them." 

Elder :"This is what we call them in English. We have 
our own word, but speaking their name is dangerous. It 
draws their attention. Even talking about them here could 
be called dangerous, but we must warn people away 
from their lands. White people seem to give Indian 
legends a little more weight... maybe it will actually help." 
Agent: "So these Stick Indians are the ones taking 
people. What are they?" 

Elder :"We think of them as trickster spirits of the 
forests. In our stories, they lead travelers astray, harm 
women and children... sometimes kill. They try to scare 
you first. They like making you hear things. Making you 
think you're going crazy. If you're lucky, that's all they 
want." 

[8 second pause] 

"We have always known about them. Us living on these 
lands. They are big, mean... like most monsters | guess. 
There have always been disappearances around the 
mountain. Stick Indians are what's taking them." 

Agent : "Alright, got it. | don't suppose you'd want to 
tell me where | could find one of these things?" 

Elder :"I know you know already. Doesn't matter 
though, they are more likely to come looking for you. You 
know about them... been touched by that knowledge. 
Look, you're a reporter, so report this; these forests 
aren't safe, and people will keep disappearing. It doesn't 
really matter what's causing it, but nothing else is 
changing so maybe it'll help." 


Following this and other interviews, MTF-Beta-34 ("Gag, Bag & 
Tag") were able to locate and sedate an instance of SCP-2056 in 
the Mount Rainier National Park forests, and called for immediate 
transport and evac. Agent was lost in the operation. 


Addendum: In the time since SCP-2056 was captured, 
disappearances in the affected region have begun to increase 
steadily. At approximately the same time that SCP-2056 began 
vocalizing in containment, reports of attacks on livestock and 
domestic animals started to increase in populated areas surrounding 
the Park. Operations to investigate and, if found, contain possible 
additional instances of SCP-2056 are currently in planning phases.

Opening an instance of SCP-2057 reveals that it is filled with 
condensed chicken broth and an egg-shaped mass made of 57 g of 
egg noodles. Upon adding water and heating to 70°C, the 'egg' 
hatches, revealing a small, juvenile domesticated chicken (Gallus 
gallus domesticus) composed entirely of egg noodles, carrot, celery, 
onion, and cooked chicken breast, known from this point as 
SCP-2057-1. As the broth continues to heat, the instance of 
SCP-2057-1 will begin to move, vocalize in chirps, and consume the 
broth in which it was hatched. It will grow directly in proportion to the 
amount of broth consumed, reaching full size at 85 g, resembling a 
small, adult domesticated chicken. 


While the temperature is between 35°C and 70°C, SCP-2057-1 
functions as if it is alive, behaving similarly to normal domesticated 
chickens. When dissected, SCP-2057-1 is shown to be composed 
entirely of edible ingredients: bones constructed of celery and onion, 
muscles constructed of cooked chicken breast, feathers constructed 
of egg noodles, beak and legs constructed of carrot, and blood 
consistent with chicken broth. SCP-2057-1 will continue to move, 
vocalize in cackles, and twitch as it is being dissected or consumed. 


When the temperature of SCP-2057-1 falls below 35°C, the instance 
ceases movement, falling over into the remaining broth and quickly 
collapses into chicken noodle soup, typically ranging in temperature 
from 20°C to 34°C. 


Below 20°C, SCP-2057-1 becomes congealed and gelatinous. 
+ Test Results 35°-70°C 


When eaten at 35°C to 70°C, test subjects describe the 
taste of SCP-2057-1 to be "excellent", "delicious", and 
"homey". Test subjects also report a feeling of physical 
well-being after consuming SCP-2057-1, despite 
showing apprehension at eating a ‘live’ meal. 81% of the 
subjects experienced psychological trauma associated 
with losing a beloved pet after consuming the instance. 


Test subjects suffering from illnesses such as influenza, 
measles, and the common cold reported immediate 
alleviation of their symptoms upon consuming instances 
of SCP-2057-1 at temperatures between 35°C and 70°C. 
Improvement included drop in high fever, relief from 
aches and pains, cessation of cough and congestion, 
and improved overall health. Strong aversion to poultry- 
based products reported in 87% of test subjects. 


+ Test Results 10°-34°C 


Test subjects consuming SCP-2057-1 at temperatures 
between 10°C to 34°C reported the taste as "bland", 
"disgusting", and "repulsive". 67% of test subjects 
reported severe cramping, chills, and diarrhea after 
consuming cooled SCP-2057-1. 62% of test subjects 
reported making involuntary clucking sounds and 
aversion to poultry-based products. 


Test subjects suffering from illnesses such as influenza, 
measles, and the common cold reported immediate 
complications of their symptoms upon consuming 
instances of SCP-2057-1 at temperatures between 10°C 
and 34°C. Complications included development of pin 
feathers along the forearms, excess loose skin growth on 
the crown of the head and under the chin, and an 
extreme change in gait when walking. 93% of subjects 
experienced vivid hallucinations and sensations of being 
hung upside-down by their ankles. 


+ Reheating Test Results 


Test 234 - Reheating SCP-2057-1 - 10/ / 
Subject: D-45782 

Procedure: D-45782 is to reheat SCP-2057-1 
in a microwave on high for two minutes and 
thirty seconds, then to consume the reheated 
instance. He is instructed to report his 
experiences to the camera provided. 
Results: (Test Time: 00:00) D-45782 
reheated the instance of SCP-2057-1 as 


instructed. During the two and a half minutes, 
deep vocalizations were heard from the 
microwave. 

(02:32) D-45782 observes that the instance in 
the bowl still looks gelatinous in texture, with 
slight black burn areas near the edges. 
(02:55) D-45872 takes three bites and 
comments about being cold in the middle and 
hot on the edges. The subject describes the 
taste as horrifying and spits the instance onto 
the floor. The subject refuses to continue 
consuming the instance. 

(17:35) Within fifteen minutes of tasting the 
reheated instance of SCP-2057-1, D-45872 
begins speaking angrily at the camera a 
second time, the words interspersed with 
vocalizations similar to stressed clucks and 
cackles. 

(17:40) Speech becomes increasingly 
incoherent. D-45872 begins scratching at his 
arms until they bleed. Loose skin is forming 
under the subject's neck and on top of the 
head. 

(17:46) D-45872 has lost all capability of 
speech. Large white pin feathers cover both of 
the subject's arms. Smaller feathers have 
begun sprouting from the subject's face. 
(18:02) Deterioration of D-45872's mental 
state has progressed to attempted destruction 
of objects within the testing room. Subject has 
rapidly grown feathers covering 67% of his 
skin, with severe physical change of the facial 
area, having an elongated, hardened nasal 
area and lower jaw. The upper lip has receded 
completely into the nasal cavity. 

(18:07) D-45872 expires. 

Analysis: Autopsy revealed D-45782's cause 
of death was due to extreme and sudden 
physical change of internal organs, resulting in 
shock and cardiac arrest. 93% of the subject's 


skin was covered in feathers. Physical 
changes in the face resulted in a beak-like 
alteration of the nose and mouth. Loose skin 
under the neck and on the top of the head 
resemble a wattle and comb. Subject's lower 
legs were found to be covered in thick, scaly 
skin with the toes of the subject's feet ending 
in small rounded claws. The subject and 
instance of SCP-2057-1 were incinerated after 
testing and autopsy.
