Following a second bifurcation event 
SCP-1157-1, now consisting of 4 separate 
instances, showed increasing signs of distress. 
An argument over SCP-1157-1's complicity in 
Foundation activities resulted in a physical 
altercation and the death of the subject 
advocating against cooperation. All instances 
of SCP-1157-1 have been put into indefinite 
sedation to avoid mental coercion by the 
growing collective. 


Report 1157/3 


Agent Thomas - Mobile Task Force 
Gamma-7 Leader 

07/14/20 

Intercepting e-mail correspondence between 
loose SCP-1157 allowed us to locate a safe 
house used by numerous subjects. MTF 
Gamma-7 was met with small-arms fire upon 
engagement, forced to terminate 2 instances, 
captured 7. Computers and correspondence 
found on the property indicate that SCP-1157 
is aware that an organization is tracking them, 
but they have no knowledge of the Foundation 
itself. Requesting a clean-up team to scour the 
property for any other evidence of SCP-1157 
activities. 


Report 1157/4 


Dr. Torres - SCP-1157 Head Researcher 
08/22/20 

Interviews with instances of SCP-1157 reveal 
a narcissistic personality and increasing 
distrust and contempt for anyone that is not 
SCP-1157. Subjects have also shown 
increasingly skillful attempts at tricking 
researchers into revealing sensitive 
information. Outside of SCP-1157-1 the 
subject remains uncooperative. 


Report 1157/5 


Agent Wilson - Mobile Task Force 
Gamma-7 Lieutenant 

08/29/20 

Agent Thomas was lost in our latest 
engagement with SCP-1157, along with 2 
other Gamma-7 members. The bastards have 
spent the last month training and stockpiling 
weapons. The warehouse we tracked a 
subject to held enough SCP-1157 to 
outnumber us 3-to-1, all armed. Even after 


capturing 16 and killing 31 there are likely 
even more SCP-1157 unaccounted for now 
than there were when we first discovered 
them. I'm submitting a request for at least a 
tripling of Gamma-7's numbers and resources. 
If we don't lock this down in the next month or 
two we're going to start seeing these guys on 
every street corner. 


Report 1157/6 


Dr. Torres - SCP-1157 Head Researcher 
09/22/20 

The contained instances of SCP-1157 
attempted a riot to break out of Sector-07 
immediately following a bifurcation event. 
Using their increased numbers SCP-1157 
assaulted the Protocol-G7 team. 
Reinforcements allowed security to resolve the 
situation, at which point Protocol-G7 was 
completed without further incident. 
Containment procedures were revised and 
SCP-1157 were restricted to individual 
quarters for one week. 5 days later each 
instance of SCP-1157 carved the following into 
the wall of their quarters: "You cannot contain 
me. Should one escape your grasp thousands 
will arise within the year." 


O5 Memo: Requests to have contained instances of SCP-1157 
reduced in number denied. Our sedated instances of SCP-1157-1 
continue to increase in number. If Gamma-7 can sufficiently reduce 
the number of militant instances we may soon have a sympathetic 
majority capable of converting the rest. Until that point we want 


SCP-1157 to believe they have the upper hand. - O5-

SCP-1158: Arboreal Jellyfish Puppeteers 


Item #: SCP-1158 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The 14 8 specimens of 
SCP-1158 in captivity are housed at Site 19, Hazardous Lifeforms 
Wing, in a 50m x 50m x 10m Lexan enclosure containing a 
rainforest habitat transplanted from its natural surroundings. Habitat 
temperature will be maintained at 30° C; embedded misting systems 
will regulate humidity levels at 70%. Full-spectrum retractable 
sensor pods are embedded at 10m intervals in a grid pattern 
throughout the enclosure to observe behavior and feeding. The 
enclosure will be accessed through a positive pressure airlock for 
enclosure and habitat maintenance. Said maintenance will be 
performed weekly by a team of three Level 1 personnel equipped 
with Tyvek exposure suits with scent-masking apparatus, 
accompanied by six MTF operatives armed with standard-issue 
M1014 shotguns. Open flames are forbidden within SCP-1158's 
habitat. Feeding of SCP-1158 will occur once every 21 days. Prey 
item will consist of one (1) live adult pig sheep (Ovis aries). 


Atmospheric molecular analysis systems are to be mounted 
throughout the habitat to detect the chemical markers of SCP-1158 
gamete deposits; all gamete deposits are to be collected for 
research. Gamete deposits not used in research are to be 
incinerated. No breeding experiments are currently authorized. 


Description: SCP-1158 is an airborne, carnivorous arboreal 
predator superficially resembling a very large olive-drab Portuguese 
man-o-war (Physalia physalis), particularly in its colonial polyp 
attributes. Known habitat currently consists of deciduous rainforest 
within a 500km radius surrounding : . Research on 
deceased specimens has shown that SCP-1158’s large, four (4) 
meter pneumatophore is filled with hydrogen (thought to result from 
bacterial decay), providing lift. While airborne, SCP-1158 nestles 


itself high in the canopy layer, allowing its feeding and detecting 
polyps to hang down through the understorey to the forest floor. 
These polyps are effectively camouflaged among the various vines 
and branches present. The dactylozooid polyp bundles are, to a 
limited degree, prehensile. SCP-1158 has not been observed at an 
altitude greater than the canopy emergent layer, seemingly 
preferring to remain silently hidden beneath the foliage. 


Prey appears limited, so far, to mammals and lizards with a mass of 
approximately 50kg or greater. Once a victim makes contact with 
dactylozooid polyps lying on the ground or adjacent to a tree, 
nematocysts in the polyp strands inject a paralyzing neurotoxin while 
nearby polyp threads wrap around the victim's extremities. 


Addendum: For reasons which have not yet been determined, all 
species of pig (genus Sus) tested thus far have proven to be 
completely unaffected by SCP-1158's neurotoxin. 


Experimentation indicates that envenomation and envelopment take 
approximately 6 seconds. At this time, primary feeding polyps enter 
the victim's body through all available orifices, and anchor 
themselves inside. Once anchored, powerful digestive enzymes are 
delivered which break down internal organs for absorption by the 
polyps. The process has been observed to last approximately 4 
days, with the victim expiring approximately 2 days after capture. 


During the digestion and absorption process, if a captive subject is 
approached by other large vertebrates, it will stand on its hind legs 
and wave its front legs; if the captive subject is a human, this will 
produce a ‘beckoning’ effect. 


Specimens of SCP-1158 were first discovered on //20 , 
approximately 400km from _, , during deforestation operations 
pursuant to the construction of the and near the 

River. Two days after several advance parties went missing, 
subsequent search teams located two party members seemingly at 
rest near the buttresses of a large Ceiba tree. The two subjects were 
initially unresponsive, then appeared to be “waving” the search 
teams over for assistance; when approached, it was observed the 
two subject’s arms were suspended by “very thin vines that were 
making them move’. As the search team's medical personnel moved 


to assist, team members began stepping on and making contact 
with feeding polyps from several specimens of SCP-1158 hovering 
nearby, at which point the specimens attacked, resulting in 11 
casualties. Subsequent newspaper reports garnered the attention of 
the Foundation, which then moved to have the area quarantined. 14 
specimens were taken into custody. 


Incident 1158-e3: 

On / /20 , 14 days after SCP-1158 specimens were placed in their 
habitat at Site 19, a domestic pig (Sus scrofa) was introduced into 
the habitat to serve as a prey item. After several minutes of 
exploring the habitat, the pig became ensnared in SCP-1158's 
dactylozooid polyps as expected, but remained unaffected by 
SCP-1158's neurotoxin. Instead, the pig chewed through the polyps, 
severing them; the pig then seized the remaining polyps in its mouth 
and used them to pull SCP-1158 specimens from their arboreal 
canopy, at which point it trampled them to death and fed upon their 
remains. 6 specimens were lost before the pig was shot.

SCP-1160: Effective Containment 


Item #: SCP-1160 
Object Class: Keter Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1160 is currently 
contained via Foundation Protocol Tango-77. Foundation assets are 
to maintain surveillance of SCP-1160's area of captivity. Changes in 
the behaviour or appearance of SCP-1160 are to be reported to the 
off-site containment team at Site 95. 


In accordance with Protocol Tango-77, the distribution of the Super 
Coco Pows brand of breakfast cereal has been allocated to Site 95, 
which also currently oversees marketing and manufacturing. Any 
deterioration of the Super Coco Pows brand is to be considered a 
Level Il Info-Hazard Emergency. 


Description: SCP-1160 is a massive, para-natural avian entity 
located beneath Mount near on Island, 
Despite being roughly 85m in height at time of recovery, due to the 
effectiveness of Foundation Protocol Tango-77, as of 09/11/2014 
SCP-1160 has been reduced to a size of roughly 25cm in height. 
Recovered documents indicate that the entity, referred to E/ 
Ratonero by the original inhabitants of the island, appeared in 1765 
and began a series of aggressive attacks against the fishing villages 
of the island. Because of the anomalous traits of SCP-1160, the 
inhabitants of the villages were unable to properly combat the entity. 
From a collected manuscript found in (translated from 
the original Spanish), 


The Buzzard came again last night, larger than before. 
Its cry we heard first, the great gnashing of a terrible 
demon. It appears not like the mainland creatures, but 
something far worse, pulled from some devil's pit in eons 
past. The Buzzard tore through our defenses, and we 
had no choice but to flee to the sea, or take shelter in the 


earth and pray that it would not root us out. Every night 
that The Buzzard returns, he is more and we are less. 


While SCP-1160 can sustain damage, it is for all practical purposes 
considered indestructible, as SCP-1160 is capable of rapidly and 
fully regenerating lost or damaged tissue, and is able to withstand all 
forms of conventional firearms, or explosives below 300kt. 
Additionally, SCP-1160 has a number of insect-like optical organs 
situated around the head and back, capable of providing SCP-1160 
with a virtually 360 degree perspective of the area around it. These 
traits, combined with the natural brute strength and speed of 
SCP-1160, make the entity particularly deadly in close combat. 


However, SCP-1160 is also negatively affected by human cognition, 
a trait that has been manipulated by Foundation Protocol Tango-77 
to provide a comprehensive, long-term containment solution for 
SCP-1160. The rate at which human perception of SCP-1160 
increases is directly related to the rate at which SCP-1160 
undergoes systemic biological decay, and the number of individuals 
who are cognizant of SCP-1160's nature is inversely related to its 
overall size and strength. This effect, however, is not instant, and 
seems to take place over the course of several hours after initial 
cognition. While it is believed that SCP-1160 could feasibly continue 
to decrease in size indefinitely, the limits of this effect, if any, are 
unknown. 


Addendum 1160-1: Foundation Protocol Tango-77 


During initial discovery of SCP-1160, a team of Foundation 
scientists hypothesized that the sudden, sharp drop in aggression by 
SCP-1160 was in some way related to the arrival of Foundation 
personnel on Island. On 08/13/1948, after routine amnestic 
cycling of Class-D individuals assigned to Site 77 on Island, 
SCP-1160 attacked both the Foundation facility and a nearby fishing 
village. During the attack the entity was noted as being highly 
aggressive and notably larger, inadvertently resulting in the loss of 
Foundation personnel and _ other inhabitants of the island. 


In response to this discovery, Foundation assets were allocated to 
the creation of Protocol Tango-77. The project, codenamed 
"Saturday Morning", was begun with the intent of spreading 


awareness of SCP-1160 to a large, consistent group of human 
subjects, which would in turn weaken and aid in the containment of 
SCP-1160. In 1953, after a ten-year period of development, initial 
trial runs of the protocol were enacted. 


On 05/14/1953, a Foundation front company, "Standard Products" 
released the "Super Coco Pows" breakfast cereal, which began 
marketing heavily towards children. The mascot of the brand was 
"Bradbury Buzzard", a cartoon caricature resembling SCP-1160. 
This character was featured prominently on the front and back of the 
box, itself containing a number of subtle anomalous memetic 
triggers intended to plant specific pieces of information concerning 
the nature and appearance of SCP-1160 into the subconscious of its 
targets’. 


Over time these triggers have been adjusted slightly to avoid over- 
proliferation of sensitive information, and the most recent product 
surveys have returned positive results. Where once consumers 
would reply that Bradbury Buzzard is a "mean buzzard who lives on 
a secret island and hurts people", consumers now tend to respond 
that the character is a "mischievous little bird who lives on a tropical 
island and tries to nab Super Coco Pows from various young 
children." 


Footnotes 
1. Initial triggers were reverse engineered from existing memetic 
phenomena, such asSCP-2061 ,SCP-2076, andRED TALISMAN.

SCP-1161: How-To Book 


Item #: SCP-1161 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1161 is to be stored ina 
display case in a locked testing room along with a computer (for 
transcription) under constant surveillance at Research Sector- . 
After its daily transformation, Dr. is to remove the object from its 
display case and transcribe the entirety of SCP-1161's contents. 
When transcription is finished, SCP-1161 is to be closed properly 
and returned to its display case. Under no circumstances is anyone 
to handle SCP-1161 in any way before Dr. has completed his 
duties regarding the object. Any changes regarding SCP-1161 not at 
its regularly scheduled time are to be immediately reported to Dr. 


Description: SCP-1161 is a black paperback book with a varying 
number of pages. The title, on both the cover and binding in white 
lettering changes every 24 hours at precisely 3:00 A.M. GMT, but 
invariably begin with the words, "How to". Daily, both the book's title, 
contents, and number of pages within change completely, unless the 
book remains open during its scheduled transformation, which will 
postpone the event to the next time at which it is 3:00 A.M. GMT and 
the object is fully closed. 


SCP-1161 is only legible to the first individual to touch the object 
after its daily transformation. To all other observers, the book will 
appear to be blank, with the exception of the title on the cover and 
binding.
