==Biography==
===Possible Origins===
====CryogenChaos' Comment Tales====
The being who would become SCP-208, was a powerful healer named Bes who lived in the Old Kingdom of Egypt. Because of his healing skills and charismatic and benevolent personality Bes was loved by countless people, even surpassing the adoration of the egotistical pharaoh Unas. Unas became jealous of Bes being more loved by his own people than him and so he ordered his guards to execute him, chop his body apart and encase the pieces inside a stone which would be buried next the river Nile.
The guards took Bes during the night to the place where he would be executed and buried, but they found themselves being unable to go through with the order as they also loved Bes since he had healed their friends and families. Not knowing what to do because if they defied the pharaoh's order they would certainly executed, Bes offered to allow them to encase him inside his tomb intact while sticking one foot out to give the impression that he had been cut to pieces. The guards were still hesitant about the plan, but after being convinced and assured by Bes that he would be perfectly fine, they proceeded to encase him within the tomb and bury, all the while crying over what they were doing.
Unas was told by the guards that they had completed the task, but knowing that Bes was loved by almost everyone he himself went to Nile to check if it was true. After seeing the tomb and Bes' foot sticking out, the pharaoh was greatly pleased that Bes was finally gone and that no one else would be equal to him. However, in Bes' absence Unas became unable to conceive a heir to his throne and so his lineage ended with him, despite his delusions of grandeur.
====All Alone on a Friday Morning/Afternoon====
Bes was a god worshipped by the ancient Egyptians alongside Set and Ptah, and was as old as Cain. He also met other gods such as Ashur and Kedesh-Nanaya, falling in love with the latter. However, during the chaos brought on to Egypt by the Hebrew God Bes was unable to save the Egyptian firstborn children from death, greatly devastating him. Bes would be imprisoned in a tomb by the pharaoh Akhenaten for unknown reasons.
===SCP Foundation===
In the modern times, the SCP Foundation came across Bes' tomb in Nile Delta while searching for an unrelated SCP in Egypt. As Foundation agents dug around the zone one Foundation doctor noticed Bes' foot sticking out of the sand. They excavated the surrounding area, revealing his tomb which was brought to the nearest Foundation sector. There a researcher assigned to study it opened the tomb only for them to discover that Bes was still alive.
Designating him as SCP-208, the Foundation relocated the newly discovered anomaly to Site-17 where he was put inside a chamber decorated in traditional Egyptian style and furnished with a single couch and a stereo stocked with North African music. There he quickly became friends with the personnel, even helping them in their medical wing, utilizing his healing abilities to cure several injured personnel who often referred to him by his name.
==Powers and Abilities==
SCP-208's main property involves inducing rapid cellular regeneration of organic tissue, which is essentially a form a healing caused by electromagnetic radiation that is released from SCP-208's body. This radiation is notably harmless compared to similar forms of radioactivity, but studies based on MRI scans on D-class personnel show that this radiation stimulates the patients' nervous system by fending off malign pathogens and other harmful anatomical entities in one's body.
==Personality==
Despite his beastly appearance, SCP-208 is notably friendly among Foundation personnel and frequently enjoys company and socializing; because of this, SCP-208 is allowed clearance to many of Site-17's areas, including the medical wing where he occassionally assists staff in.
SCP-208 has stated that he loves children as well as telling jokes, and is a self-proclaimed protector of innocence. However he has stated that he has a strong animosity of snakes.
