SCP-096 is a human-like creature, 2.3 meters tall. It is thin and skinny with large, slender arms that are out of proportion with the rest of it's body. Most facial features are the same as humans apart from the eyes, which have no colour and its jaw which can open 4 times wider than a normal human.
When someone looks at it's face through any means, whether it is physically, through cctv, through a picture or video etc, it will become enraged, which lasts for approximately 15 seconds. After this, 096 will begin screaming and attempting to kill anybody who has looked at it's face, stopping at nothing to kill them. It can break open any doors people attempt to hide behind and bullets will not work against it. The only way to recontain 096 once it is enraged is to allow it to terminate it's targets, afterwards bagging it with SCRAMBLE goggles equipped and returning it to it's chamber.
Approaching SCP-096 necessitates the use of scrambler gear as a precautionary measure. Gazing at its face without the gear's protection can cause it to enter a state of fury by overriding the scrambler gear. However, once within close proximity, a bag may be placed over its face to prevent such an occurrence. The bag will automatically detach after 45 seconds. To return SCP-096 to its containment chamber, personnel must position it away from the containment door and place it in the box. The chamber employs an airlock configuration, rendering the large blast door inoperable if the box is open, and vice versa.
SCP-096, commonly referred to as "Shy Guy," displays a docile demeanor until its face is observed, after which it transforms into an unstoppable rage. At that point, termination of whomever viewed its face is required immediately. In the event of activating SCP-096, remaining inside its containment cell is the safest option.
