SCP-173 - “The Sculpture”

SCP-173, AKA “The Sculpture/Statue" is an indestructible, hostile, sentient, and class creature, which appears as a sentient humanoid concrete statue that is extremely hostile and deadly with no known origin. Its body is composed of rebar and concrete, with spray paint around its humanoid-shaped facial region. It is covered in gunshots and blood. SCP-173 has exactly three arms/hands. SCP-173 has two ways that it can move, those ways being walking or teleporting. SCP-173 when walking can easily outpace someone. SCP-173 can teleport in the blink of an eye, it can teleport from large distances, and teleportation is its primary way of traveling. 
===Behavior===
SCP-173 exhibits extremely hostile behaviors. These are best seen through its interactions with human beings. Often using them as a source of entertainment. SCP-173 has been seen toying with its subjects and even picking them off 1 by 1 to create a sort of game. Some additional behaviors exhibited by SCP-173 have shown its frequent attack on doors and keycard slots within containment. It will often rapidly teleport around the containment to get attention for more subjects. If you cannot see SCP-173 in its containment, make sure to look above.
SCP-173 has shown a liking towards the ceilings and enjoys latching on to them to catch his victims off guard. Along with this, SCP-173 shows a sort of intelligence when choosing its victims. Often deciding to attack weaker ones in favor of stronger ones. Be aware that it shows a more strategic mindset in its attacks and is a lot more patient. SCP-173 also enjoys human suffering and enjoys watching people beg for their lives in front of him instead of instantly killing them mindlessly.
===History===
SCP-173 was formerly a much larger and bulkier entity with the less abilities. After the theft of SCP-173, the Chaos Insurgency ran scientific tests on it and greatly altered its appearance to what it is today. SCP-173 was retrieved by the lore task force, Epsilon-11. SCP-173 became significantly weaker due to these experiments, it is now much smaller and able to be damaged by gunfire. However, it has gained more anomalous abilities. 
==Abilities==
SCP-173 travels using teleportation of some kind that is faster than a blink of an eye (although it is capable of walking). SCP-173 has many capabilities listed as:
=====Limb Crush =====
True to its name, once SCP-173 is within range of personnel that are within the regulation to be killed, he can crush their limbs instantly and kill them. When done, a blaring red light flickers on and immediately turns off after the victim has been crushed.
=====Claw Crush =====
Using its addon, SCP-173 can swipe at nearby personnel with extreme lethality, crushing their head entirely. This can be done via teleporting behind said personnel or being within a certain range of SCP-173.
===== Swipe / Grab =====
SCP-173 can swipe at a CD after dashing, or simply in general, which will sever their head and automatically kill them.
SCP-173 can grab, as well, but will delay the process of killing his next victims. SCP-173 can grab almost anything at any time.
=====Projectile Throw =====
SCP-173 can throw a rebar pole with a trail of electricity behind it, which is likely propelled by stored static electricity generated from friction between its concrete body and the ground. This electricity can be used for either projectile throws or rapid movement. The rebar pole can restrain individuals hit by it to a wall, causing death if it hits the head.
=====Dash =====
SCP-173 possesses a "Dash" ability where it rapidly charges forward towards its target, typically resulting in the instant death of the victim by crushing their limbs. This ability requires a significant amount of time to build up, during which SCP-173 remains stationary. The dash is executed by releasing built-up static electricity in a sudden burst, propelling SCP-173 towards its target. The increased friction during this attack generates additional electricity, potentially explaining SCP-173's ability to use this attack in succession or quickly follow it with another action such as throwing a rebar. The release of extra electricity during the dash may indicate structural or storage issues within SCP-173, possibly due to its reconstruction by the Chaos Insurgency.
==Containment==
SCP-173 is contained within the Medium Containment Zone within Site Epsilon. Its chamber is a concrete octagon with an entrance, AETV dock, and spectating windows. The exterior of the chamber is comprised of two areas. The first area has the control room, briefing/entrance area for Class-Ds, and AETV transport area. The second area is where the chamber and the observation area area.

==Testing==
SCP-173 is a decently understood SCP in terms of research. To test on SCP-173 you require the ScD rank of "Researcher", a C-9 escort, and ScD command permission. During SCP-173 tests, always bring 2+ CDs, unless you want your CDs to instantly die, because you need multiple people to keep eye contact. Once the gates are open, all personnel and CDs should keep eye contact until the doors are closed. You also must follow everything and should understand everything listed in the SCP-173 Testing Handbook. 
*SCP-173 is known to be extremely hostile to everyone in sight.
*SCP-173 can not talk, meaning it can not be interviewed.
*Cross-tests are known to be successful.
*Portable cameras are suggested for testing.
*Spectators must be SC-2+.
==Recontainment==
Once SCP-173 has escaped Site Epsilon, Red Heron is to be called. Once Red Heron is called, Class-D's are to be pushed to their cell block by Base SD. All FP are to report to the Breach Shelter immediately in Site Phi. The Breach Shelter will remain open for 100 seconds, unless SCP-173 is in Phi, then be closed for the remainder of the breach. FP interfering with the recontainment will be terminated. 
To recontain SCP-173 you must damage it for a long time until its concrete shell is destroyed. Once SCP-173’s entire concrete shell is destroyed it will become immobilized, covering its face with both of its hands. MTF will use a cage kit to build a cage around SCP-173. Once SCP-173 is completely trapped within the built cage, SCP-173 can be transported back into its chamber. It takes exactly 10 minutes for SCP-173 to regenerate part of its concrete shelling and to become dangerous once again. 
* Shoot SCP-173 enough to the point of stunning it. This will require some strategy to avoid SCP-173's blackout attacks.
*Once it is stunned, put it in the cage.
*Transport it back to its containment chamber.
To breach SCP-173 as a hostile, simply open the inner and outer containment gates and run as far away as you can.
