SCP-082-A

Fernand after one of his containment breaches.

## **`DESCRIPTION`**

SCP-082-A is genetically human; however, through some process, SCP-082-A has grown to proportions exceeding that which is possible for a baseline human. SCP-082-A is approximately 2.4 meters (7'8'') and weighs over 317.52 kg (700 lbs). The subject is both overweight and possesses a great amount of muscle mass. It's forearms are muscular, with a circumference of 71.12 cm (28 in). The breadth of the subject's fist is 30.48 cm (12 in) along the knuckles. On its feet, it wears U.S. men's size 14 shoes. Scans have revealed countless bullets and several knife and sword blades lodged in SCP-082-A's flesh.

SCP-082-A refers to itself as Fernand and speaks fluent French and heavily accented English. When it speaks, it does so through enormous, clenched teeth. SCP-082-A only parts teeth to eat food and to sing. Subject will sing songs of its own liking, ranging from forgotten Victorian Era bar songs to modern classical, typically while cooking and eating. SCP-082-A does not comb the hair on the sides of its head, but does cut it, and shaves with a large butcher knife originally provided for food preparation. Occasionally, SCP-082-A will clench its teeth so hard that the gums bleed. It is unknown why it does this, but this is considered normal.

The demeanor of SCP-082-A is very amicable and carefree. SCP-082-A has accrued a wide wardrobe over its time of incarceration, and it enjoys dressing up in many different fashions, including formal wear, military uniform, as a clown, and in women's clothing. New pieces should be made available upon request. Subject often attempts to joke and is usually polite to personnel, often inviting them to dinner. However, visiting personnel should be aware that at any moment, SCP-082-A is capable of attacking and voraciously eating others. Subject will often apologize for its lack of manners for interrupting someone's conversation by devouring their head while making a mess of his quarters. SCP-082-A's jaw is strong enough to crack bone, and it seems to enjoy skulls. Attacks are seemingly random, with no motivation; whether or not subject has recently eaten has no effect on this cannibalistic hunger.

SCP-082-A is incapable of differentiating fact from fiction when he reads or watches television or film. On several occasions, SCP-082-A has expressed a great desire to meet his favorite person, Hannibal Lecter, and believes that all television programming is some form of reality television. Though the subject has shown heightened intelligence in the form of memory and puzzle-solving, the concepts of parody, satire, and fiction are beyond its understanding. SCP-082-A apparently understands the concept of lying, has shown to know when others are blatantly lying, and generally tells obvious falsehoods when asked about its past. According to SCP-082-A, he is:

* A vampire
* A homunculus
* Sesame Street's Big Bird
* André the Giant
* Napoleon Bonaparte
* The Comic Book character Obelix
* Dr. Jack Bright
* Marvel Comic's Incredible Hulk
* Alexander The Great
* Captain Hook
* Literrary detective Sherlock Holmes
* Dr. Frankenstein
* Frankenstein's Monster

When questioned about these lies he gives the excuse "But I only lie when it's through my teeth!"

[Fernand was born in France in 1824 and had little memory of his childhood besides living on the streets as an orphan. Over the course of several years, an anomalous mutation caused Fernand to grow far larger and develop far more strength and endurance than should be possible for a human of his age, as well as gain a voracious appetite and the capability of safely digesting near enough any organic matter it consumes. In 1841, he was found and captured by individuals working for an enigmatic man, for use in his circus. He was kept prisoner, made to perform for onlookers and mistreated by one of the circus' employees, a cruel ringmaster. Eventually, Fernand lost control and devoured the ringmaster, as well as several other onlookers, before escaping. Fernand eventuall made his way to England by April 1, 1888, where he got a job at a local restaurant as a cook. But a string of murders caused many to begin suspecting him due to his unusual appearance. Fernand was walking down the street one night when he witnessed a man that would come to be known as 'Jack the Ripper' attacking a young woman. He warned her and she ran off, causing The Ripper to turn on him. The Ripper attacked Fernand, only to be devoured by the much larger Fernand. Fernand was then accosted by the local citizens and driven from England. Some years later, Fernand would be found and imprisoned by the Foundation after reports of missing persons in a small town got theie attention.]
