SCP-017

Item #: SCP-017
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-017 is contained
 in an acrylic glass cage, 100 cm by 50 cm by 50 cm, centrally suspended
 in a concrete room measuring 6 m by 6 m by 4 m. Attached to the walls, 
ceiling, and floor of the room are high-intensity arc lamp spotlights 
pointed directly at the acrylic cage, to ensure that SCP-017 is 
constantly exposed to light from every angle. Personnel assigned to the 
SCP-017 control room are to monitor the functionality of the spotlights 
and the emergency generator system and call for maintenance immediately 
upon knowledge of a burnt-out lamp or an issue with the generator.
The only circumstance under which personnel are allowed entrance is 
to replace lamps. Personnel entering the room are required to wear the 
designated full-body reflective suits, and must be cautioned not to step
 in front of functional spotlights.
Description: SCP-017 is a humanoid figure 
approximately 80 centimeters in height, anatomically similar to a small 
child, but with no discernible identifying features. SCP-017 seems 
composed of a shadowy, smoke-like shroud. No attempt to find any object 
beneath the shroud has been successful, but the possibility has not been
 ruled out.
SCP-017's reaction to shadows cast upon it is immediate and swift. 
SCP-017 leaps at the object casting the shadow and completely encloses 
it in its shroud, whereupon it returns to its normal size, leaving no 
trace of the object behind.
Additional Notes: Personnel with BETA clearance or higher should see also document #017-1.
