SCP-072-TH The Castle Guards | object class Keter
Channel: Eastside Show SCP
Date: 2017-11-06

This Thailand SCP Foundation wiki reading is about SCP 072 TH "The Castle Guards", the collective designation for several sets of 13th century plate armor. The armor appears to be hollow, with engravings in an unidentified alphabet on the interior surface. Instances of SCP-072-TH are capable of independent motion and are universally hostile, attacking any person who enters Castle ██████████████. The armor that composes SCP-072-TH is significantly more durable than non-anomalous armor; if pieces of SCP-072-TH instances are damaged, they will be replaced with new pieces sourced from an unidentified location inside Castle ██████████████.

Item#: SCP-072-TH

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedure: All instances of SCP-072-TH are currently contained in Castle ██████████████, the site of their original discovery. As it has proved impossible to immobilize SCP-072-TH or to move the anomalies from their original location, containment has focused on limiting the anomalies' movement to the island on which the castle is located. A containment perimeter has been established around the island to prevent unauthorized access.

SCP-072-TH instances communicate with each other in an unidentified language with numerous loan words from 8th-century Vulgar Latin; due to the objects' hostility, however, communication has thus far been impossible.

Other anomalous properties of SCP-072-TH instances include:

Very fast running speed (Comparable to Olympic-level sprinters – Dr.████)
High resistance to physical damage (While concussive force from grenades and other explosives usually doesn't have much effect, bullets are still able to damage them. – Dr.████)
High strength (One instance was able to drag a fully-loaded transport van for 400 meters; fortunately, it was not able to pick it up and throw it, although it seemed to be trying.- Dr.████)
Ability to regenerate damaged armor (Actually, it appears that damaged instances are replacing their damaged parts with new pieces from somewhere inside the castle's keep.- Dr.████)
SCP-072-TH instances wield swords which are able to cut most materials (Not quite everything—it seems that SCP-072-TH instances are unable to damage their own armor. – Dr.████)

All attempts to retrieve swords from SCP-072-TH instances have failed; while attempting to retrieve a sword, it was discovered that it was composed of anomalously durable gold and was engraved with the same alphabet as the engravings on the inner surface of SCP-072-TH instances.

Discovery: SCP-072-TH was discovered in Castle ██████████████—a fortified island continuously occupied for approximately 2,500 years—by a group of tourists; reports of a "ghost in armor" drew media attention, and ██ individuals were killed by SCP-072-TH instances before containment was established by Agent ██████.
