“ Interviewer: You are also on record as opposing [SCP-953's] terms of confinement.

Agent: Because it's dangerous. Like I said, she's spiteful. Every little slight in her eyes she saves up, and the only way she knows how to repay an insult is death. Chaining her to the wall like an animal… when she gets out, and she will get out, she's going to kill everyone who had the slightest thing to do with it. She won't settle for anything else. „ ~ — 953 Interview A on SCP-953.

“ Your people have killed the Old. They have bound Myth and Legend in prisons of steel, and eradicated the things of Magic with cold science. Then you mock even our memories, perverting that which you should fear into things of lust and children's fantasies. This cannot be abided. I will NOT abide it! I will die, but I will die fighting, with my claws red with your blood and my teeth in your throat, and I will die knowing that I was feared! „ ~ SCP-953 to the Professor in "The Light At The End Of The Tunnel".

**SCP-953**, also known as the **Polymorphic Humanoid**, is an antagonist in the *SCP Foundation* series.

She resembles a red fox who is also revealed to be a Korean Kumiho that is able to change forms and has a habit of devouring human livers while having a penchant for torturing and brutally murdering innocent people for her own amusement.

She plays a major role in the "Game Day" series.

## Personality

SCP-953 is a cruel, manipulative and sadistic creature who enjoys killing and torturing humans regardless of age and gender for her amusement, as she saw humanity no different from other species which she could hunt and play like toys. She enjoyed using her shapeshifting power to appear innocent and seduce men whom she would later massacre without a second thought, and could easily get offended from inaccurate or disrespectful remarks, causing her to become a wrathful monster. 953 preferred eating her victims' livers simply because it tasted better in her opinion. After causing mass carnage at YiffCon, 953 had become surprisingly listless and apathetic and had allowed the Foundation to recapture her, and since then she barely killed anyone for some time. She had a deep fear towards dogs, especially those of the Korean Jindo or American Foxhound breed. The Foundation was also willing to give her some luxuries, like plum wine and reading materials if 953 were to behave nice. Indeed, despite her monstrous behavior, 953 respected those who shared her vision for the world like the Professor, or The Teacher, and fellow mystical creatures like Midnight, as long as they respected her as well.

## Appearance

SCP-953 is a large female red fox with nine tails but enjoys to take the form of other creatures, with a preference for the appearance of a beautiful Korean woman of a short stature with a round pale face, long black hair, yellow vertical eyes, a wide mouth, canine teeth and long red nails. The one weakness of her transformations is that she keeps at least one part of her true form no matter what, like ears, tail, paws, eyes, fur, voice, mannerisms. This allows her to be easily spotted in a group, just by searching for one person with fox features, whether it's a tail, ears, paws or something else. However, she would use clothing to try and hide these features. She also possessed slight psionic abilities, allowing her to trick people into believing obvious lies. While using her powers, more of her animalistic features would be uncovered, along with her eyes glowing red. After spending several years in Foundation captivity, 953 became emaciated, looking thin and rangy with her ribs showing through her skin.

## Biography

### Possible Origins

#### The Millenary Nine-tailed Fox

SCP-953 was an ancient Kumiho living in Korea, and by the year 1515 she was seemingly over 800 years old. In 1515, she met with the Taoist sorcerer Elder Woo-chi "Featherman" Jŏn and the two at first appeared to have fallen in love. However, this proved to be her undoing, as when they were in a passionate moment Jŏn stole her fox essence sealed inside a glass bead and swallowed it, infusing himself with her power. Left in a weakened state, an enraged 953 planned to get revenge on the Elder in the following years, but found it difficult since Jŏn was now empowered from her own essence. It was later revealed that 953 had become pregnant with Jŏn's child, and gave birth to a girl who was a Kumiho just like her, something quite rare since her father had been a normal human. Jŏn's contemporary Gyŏng-dŏk Sŏ, also known as Master Flowery Pond, took and raised the daughter who was named Hoya and would become a member of the Dinodon's Hand under the title of Hx.

953 eventually battled Jŏn in 1568, but the Elder emerged victorious. Jŏn then proceeded to imprison 953 within SCP-159-KO, a pocket dimension known as the "Peach Blossom Land", so she could never harm any other innocent soul again, before expiring from the wounds delivered by her. She ended up being trapped for around two thousand years, during which time she would slaughter anyone who dared to enter the land. In 1795, she finally managed to escape and soon proceeded to cause a calamity. Following the calamity, 953 went into hiding, preferring to kill her victims quietly and undisturbed.

#### SCP-2953

SCP-953 was apparently a byproduct of the experiments conducted by the Imperial Japanese Abnormal Matters Examination Agency on SCP-2953, the supposed petrified corpse of Tamamo-no-Mae. During World War II, IJAMEA sought to reincarnate the kitsune in Korea by using fragments of the boulder to sacrifice some subjects, hoping to get a powerful soldier which could be used in the war against China and Korea. This proved to be successful as IJAMEA found a kitsune who more closely resembled a kumiho and quickly took her in. After testing her abilities, she was planned to be deployed in Korea, but was soon lost. It is unknown what truly happened to the creature, though the Foundation suspected that it had already captured her as SCP-953 who wished to forget about her time in Japan.

### Foundation Custody

SCP-953 was responsible for various repulsive acts through time which included: killing an old lady in 1969, replacing her when her grandson came to visit and after some time spending together she manipulated the young man into killing his own parents; and convincing a mother to cook her child before ordering the mother to eat her child's remains for her own amusement.

After SCP-953 caused a ruckus in a rice field, three agents from the SCP Foundation's Eastern Division were sent to capture her. The trio managed to encounter her in a waterfall while she was combing her hair with her own thin robe. Managing to seduce the agents, she lured them into a cottage while giving them a nice meal which Agent 3 assumed was some kind of pork or beef. This behavior that SCP-953 possessed resulted in Agent 1 assuming that she was the perfect type of wife due to her demure, kind, sweet and respectful attitude.

It wasn't until nightfall when Agent 3 discovered the horrific truth. After he accidentally woke up and saw that Agent 1 was missing, he assumed that Agent 1 went outside to urinate. As Agent 3 went behind a bush, it was revealed that SCP-953 had seduced him into letting her perform oral sex on him before suddenly biting off his genitals and showed it to him. She then cut his throat and ate his liver while peeling his skin off his body like an orange.

Horrified by what SCP-953 had done, Agent 3 attempted to warn Agent 2 to get out from the cabin to no avail as Agent 2 refused and went back to bed. While the two agents argued, SCP-953 disguised herself as Agent 1 only for Agent 3 to shoot her due to seeing the eyes of 'Agent 1' glow yellow while already aware that Agent 1 had been brutally murdered. After Agent 2 discovered that Agent 3 seemingly murdered Agent 1, he pointed his own gun towards him in self-defense and ordered Agent 3 to put the gun down with fear.

Using the conflict as an opportunity, SCP-953 made Agent 2 shoot Agent 3 in the arm and laughed like a maniac afterwards. It was revealed that Agent 2 was also brutally murdered by SCP-953 and he was laid out in a table where the other agents had eaten yesterday with his skin flayed open. It was then Agent 3 discovered a horrific truth that they ate a corpse of a human.

This realization resulted in Agent 3 throwing up and he attempted to kill SCP-953 by stabbing her in a gut with a punji stick, which slowed her down slightly as Agent 3 jumped to the river to save himself and attempted to burn the cottage with a flamethrower. It was not until the retrieval team came to Agent 3's aid was SCP-953 captured for good and transferred to Site-17 in America. Because of this incident, Agent 3 had a raging infection and had to stay in the hospital for days.

When asked by the interviewer about his opinion about letting SCP-953 live because he assumed that [Agent 3] sympathized with her due to his attempt at opposing the retrieval team's termination with the OopArt, Agent 3 simply said that he did this to save himself because how spiteful she can be. He said that if SCP-953 got out, she would kill anyone who dared to oppose her. The incident was proven to be so traumatic for Agent 3 to the point he was transferred to Site-51 for psychological analysis and debriefing. As of today, SCP-953 has made three escape attempts, all of which resulted in all of the operatives that tried to confine her dead, once performing disgusting, necrophiliac acts on the fiancee of one the agents, Agent Ramsey, who attempted to capture her, in front of him. However, the surviving Agent 3 was able to return to active duty and was transferred to the restructured Mobile Task Force Theta-3, where he continues to serve there.

In one of her escapes, she disguised herself as a furry enthusiast in order to enter the furry convention known as "YiffCon" located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she became disgusted by the fandom's fetishes. There she massacred all of the attendees in the furry convention, estimated to be 27 people who died during SCP-953's rampage. The bodies of her victims were found mutilated in several hotel rooms with one of them becoming the main course at the hotel banquet. Luckily, 953 had become temporarily docile which allowed the Foundation to recapture her without much trouble.

She once encountered SCP-682 and SCP-106 during a containment breach that resulted in her and 682 getting pulled into 106's pocket dimension. She and 682 escaped and refused to talk about what happened in the other dimension.

During an attack on Site-17 by the Proponents of Paranormal Rights, 953 was one of the many SCPs that breached containment. Roaming through the chaotic site's hallways she came across Dr. Edison who was on his way to retrieve SCP-161 to help with the breach. 953 tackled him from behind, and attempted to tear his genitals as revenge for him erroneously referring to her as a kitsune, but luckily for Edison his friend Dr. King activated the corridor's deadly laser system, separating 953 from Edison. However, as Edison was unable to reach SCP-161, he ordered King to deactivate the lasers again, preparing to get the anomaly before 953 attacked him. Edison managed to get 161 but accidentally used it to fall through the floor, leaving 953 to escape. In the aftermath, 953 was approached by a member of the Proponents of Paranormal Rights named Solomon Kidd, who turned out to be one of YiffCon's attendants that had marveled at her savagery, and asked her to join them in taking down the Foundation, which she accepted.

He took her to his desolate house where he would help her regain her energy and strength, planning to use her to strike back at the Foundation again. 953 believed Solomon to be a delusional idiot, and though she went with his plan for now she intended to kill him soon. The next day, Solomon's mercenary accomplices, Sandra, Michel, James and the Professor, arrived at his house to learn why exactly Solomon wanted to attack both the Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition before planning their next possible steps. Upon meeting 953, Solomon introduced her to his colleagues as a magnificent creature who would help them in their war against the organizations hiding and imprisoning the anomalies and set things to the way they should be. 953 didn't think much of them, seeing each of them as nothing more than prey. While having dinner, 953 approached James and assisted him in eating his food, intending to charm him and have him come to her at night so she could hunt again.

As she waited for him outside on a rock, she was surprised to see the Professor instead. 953 attempted to entice him, but he proved immune to her charm and asked her why did she lower herself to such a level. Enraged, she told him how the Foundation had snuffed the magic out of the world and intended to do everything she could to get back at them, or at least die trying. The Professor unfazed then told her of a better way to help in destroying not only the Foundation but the current state of the world which would allow for the anomalies like her to rise once again, instructing her to follow Solomon's plan for a the time being, despite his stupidity. Seeing that she had finally found someone who perfectly understood her, she accepted. However, when the sun rose and the guests left, Solomon confronted 953, revealing to her that he heard her and the Professor's conversation through his window and learned what they thought of him. She tried to explain herself, but Solomon quickly shot her, disappointed that she didn't think the same way he did. Unfortunately for him, 953 was unharmed and quickly disemboweled him, and although he was violently dying at her hands, Solomon's twisted sadomasochistic fantasy was finally fulfilled and died happy. 953 then began rummaging through his possessions, finding his computer in which she learned that Solomon had access to the Wanderer's Library thanks to his connections to the Serpent's Hand.

She contacted one of those connections, a mage going by the name of Midnight, inviting her for dinner. 953 took the appearance of Solomon in order to fool Midnight when she came, but after she arrived she was confronted by a sapient black cat. Midnight immediately saw through her disguise, prompting 953 to drop the facade, but nonetheless they proceeded to have dinner. 953 wished to negotiate with the magical black cat, wanting to learn more about the Ways and in exchange she would tell Midnight her and the Professor's plans. After telling her of the plan, Midnight brought her to the Wanderer's Library where she could roam freely as long as she didn't break the rules.

While in the Library, she was approached by Mr. Dark and his goons of Marshall, Carter, and Dark. He wished for her to join them by offering a life of luxury and the freedom to kill as many people she wished, but if she didn't accept then he would personally hunt her down like the animal she was. 953 refused, telling him she was already working for the Professor, who turned out to be Marshall, Carter and Dark's fourth partner that they thought had been killed. Realizing who she was working for, Dark ordered one of his men to kill her but she managed to evade them and escape. It is unknown how the Foundation eventually recontained her, but it is possible she was captured by agents Harken and Kramer who had been after her.

During the Foundation Elimination Coalition's takeover of Site-19, a couple of Chaos Insurgents released 953 alongside other anomalies in order to deliver as much damage to the Foundation as possible. Upon being freed, she formed a pair of wings and went to the nearest civilian population center to hunt humans. Following the Coalition's defeat, she was presumably recaptured.

### Possible Endings

#### SCP-001 (Ihp/Locke proposal)

As a result of Site-100's manipulation, SCP-953 was forcefully turned into an employee of the SCP Foundation, becoming known as Agent Ji-Hu Choe who used her abilities to assist the Foundation in containing other anomalies.

## Powers and Abilities

Being an ancient Kumiho, SCP-953 is an near-immortal creature capable of fluidly shapeshifting from a red fox with nine tails to that of a beautiful Asian woman, though features of her animal form would always linger. This shapeshifting power was compared to that of The Hunter's Black Lodge's members, SCP-2750 and SCP-1540, though according to the Serpent's Hand she was able to achieve this by forming a field around her that affected the perception of others, meaning that she mostly relied on illusion than actually changing her body. Being a ferocious fox, SCP-953 could use her claws and teeth to attack by slashing and tearing her victims, along with other advantages that come with being a fox like enhanced speed, agility and senses. In her human form, she could combine her beauty with her limited psionic powers to mesmerize men and manipulate them into doing her biding, fully hiding her true nature even when it was apparent to outside viewers. She also appeared to be bilingual as she could speak English well. 953 had her own limits, as she couldn't use all of her powers at the same time and originally she was much more powerful before her marble that contained her essence was taken from her, greatly diminishing her abilities. This marble was suspected by the Serpent's Hand to be similar in importance to her true Name, and once she lost it she was left trapped in the Peach Blossom Land in an exact manner to the Faeries in SCP-4000.

## Trivia

* The horrific experience that Agent 3 had told towards the interviewer during his and other agents' attempts to capture SCP-953 to no avail that had resulted 2 other agents being murdered resembles the Korean tale called The Fox Sister, which is also a story that Agent 3 was told by his grandmother.
	+ In the original version of SCP-953, she more closely resembled the legend, eating human livers in order to become a full human, but that was changed when the article was rewritten.
* It is stated by the SCP Foundation that SCP-953 is not a Kitsune but a Kumiho which is a different beast altogether. Kumiho is a fox who has a penchant for seducing innocent people to eat their livers while Kitsune are the type of a fox that has trickster moments and are sometimes benevolent with the exception of the likes of Tamamo no Mae. This truly reflects what SCP-953 had done during the course of the story.
* In the tale "Da Capo al Fine", which takes place in a universe where the Foundation never existed, 953 met SCP-239 in the Wanderer's Library and when she attempted to attack a furry convention she was shot extensively until she finally died. Despite being a monster, the Library's patrons still mourned her since she was the last of the kumiho and with her died the entire species.
* When the Foundation used SCP-978 to take a photo of SCP-953, the picture showed her howling at the moon atop a rock at the bottom of a waterfall, while the corpses of several men are seen pierced with spears.
* In her author page Fanthem assigned SCP-953 the song Foxy Lady by The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
* Despite the Foundation believing the reincarnated Tamamo no Mae from SCP-2953 was SCP-953, the tale "Finding a Demon Fox: “Jangsan Tiger (？)” in Busan" established that the creatures were separate entities, with "Tamamo" being taken under the care of the Serpent's Hand.
