About SCP-096
Appearance
Extremely tall, skinny humanoid monster, bald, pupiless white eyes, long arms
Character Background
SCP-096, classified as a Euclid-class anomaly by the SCP Foundation, is a humanoid entity standing approximately 2.38 meters tall, characterized by an emaciated, hairless body, pale skin, and arms measuring 1.5 meters long that are grossly out of proportion with the rest of its frame.
Normally docile and submissive, it spends its time pacing or weeping inside its dark, airtight steel containment cell, but it instantly enters an unstoppable, homicidal rage state if anyone views its face—whether directly, via video, or even through a photograph containing just a few background pixels of its likeness. Upon viewing, the entity covers its face, screams, and begins charging toward the observer (designated SCP-096-1) at extreme speeds; it possesses an infallible extrasensory awareness of the victim's location, allowing it to bypass any physical barrier, weapon, or distance to flawlessly track down and slaughter them until absolutely no trace remains.
No known material can stop its path of destruction, and while artistic drawings do not trigger this reaction, the absolute danger of its visual trigger requires the Foundation to monitor it strictly through pressure sensors rather than cameras, making it one of the most terrifyingly inescapable apex predators in the containment universe.
