 Item #: 020-TIS

Object Class: Keter

3d Model of SCP-020-TI

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-020-TI-1 is to be monitored at all times by staff of  Deep Sea research Site 99 for any signs of activity. Due to the entity's size, it is not currently contained. In the event that SCP-020-TI enters an active state, the entity is to be mass administered sedatives through underwater drones. In the event that this fails, Deep Sea research Site 99's thermonuclear warhead is to be detonated to prevent both SCP-020-TI and SCP-020-TI-1 instances from reaching the surface.

The 2 SCP-020-TI A instances contained at Site 99, designated SCP-020-TI A-1 and SCP-020-TI A-2 are to remain cryogenically frozen until further notice. In the event a live SCP-TI A instance attempts to enter and or break into Site 99, exterior lighting is to be increased to discourage further breach attempts. Foundation staff are encouraged to minimalize exterior activities as to not awaken SCP-020-TI A instances.

Description: SCP-020-TI is a massive aquatic organism of unknown origin measuring 60 meters in length. SCP-020-TIS is currently in a dormant state, resting near the ruins of a deep-sea mining facility belonging to [REDACTED].

SCP-020-TI's face vaguely resembles that of a human being, however, it's head is shaped similarly to members of the molluscan class, specifically cephalopods, and it possesses a pair of eyes on both sides of it's head. SCP-020-TI's mouth is lined with a single row of thin, sharp teeth with the bottom jaw able to split in two, each maw lined with a row of teeth. The bottom jaws terminate in a series of tentacles, the purpose of which are unknown.

The body of SCP-020-TI is covered in a series of fins, tentacles and protrusions that resemble emaciated, bone-like wings along it's length, with the entity possessing 2 short, muscular arms, the function of which is unknown. The body ends in tail fin analogous to cetaceans, supposedly used for propulsion through the water.

Interestingly, multiple murals and imagery on the walls of Site 99 prior to it's repurposing refer to SCP-020-TI as the popular fictional god, "Cthulhu" [See Addendum 020-TI-19 for further details]. Despite this, direct observation of the entity does not invoke madness, nor any mental defects present in Lovecraftian mythos upon the observer. 

SCP-020-TI A are a species of 2.5 meter tall predatory, humanoid organisms that seem to share a symbiotic relationship with SCP-020-TI (See Document 020-TI-A-2020). SCP-TI A hunt medium to large-size organisms, including humans, often attempting to restrain and swallow their victims whole. SCP-020-TI A are slender and pale in coloration, possessing translucent skin and webbing present on their hands, feet and axilla (underarm). The face of the organisms are vaguely humanoid, though the nose and ears are missing, possessing holes in their place. The bottom jaws of the entities are flexible and can expand, enabling them to swallow creatures similar to their body weight. Despite their emaciated appearance, SCP-020-TI A are surprisingly strong, capable of lifting and restraining an adult human being in Pressure Resistant Diving Suits with ease. Despite their physical strength, SCP-020-TI A's skin is extremely thin, able to be pierced by sharp objects or sufficient force with little resistance. 

SCP-020-TI A are able to ascend to the surface without experiencing the effects of Decompression Sickness (also known as "Barotrauma" or "The Bends"), and could theoretically thrive in shallow waters, however, the entities do not remain at the surface for extended periods of time, preferring the depths and the protection of SCP-020-TI.

Although most of the SCP-020-TI A instances are in an dormant state, Foundation activity has since awoken a small amount of the population, with said entities causing minimal structural damage to Site 99 and the deaths of 20 personnel. 

Despite the entities' hostility, the lifecycle of SCP-020-TIS-1 is generally well understood. SCP-020-TI A are viviparous (give live birth), and care for their young until Stage 3 of the lifecycle. The life process from birth to sexual maturity is listed as follows:

  1. Stage 1: The entities are birthed as 0.8 meter long cephalopodic creatures, possessing a small mouth, many tentacle-like structures covering each side of the torso with two ending in under-developed hand-like appendages and the body concluding with a 0.2 meter long tail.
  2. Stage 2: Specimens take to a bipedal stance. Many of the tentacle-like appendages present on the sides of the torso fall off, leaving only 4 (including the tentacles ending in hand-like appendages, which are still not fully developed). A pair of leg-like appendages begin to grow at the base of the tail. These changes occur 1 month after stage 1. Specimens at this point in the lifecycle are 0.9 meters in height.
  3. Stage 3: The two tentacles fuse to form a singular appendage (though parts of both tentacles protrude out of this fused appendage). The legs become much longer, and the head grows noticeably larger (specifically 0.3 inches larger). Specimens at this stage grow to 1.2 meters in height.
  4. Stage 4: The overall texture of the Specimens become much smoother, with the arms and legs noticeably increasing in length and further developing, with webbing now present on the arms, feet and axilla. The tail has also shriveled and fallen off, leaving a stump in it's place. Specimens at this stage are 1.6 meters tall.
  5. Stage 5: Specimens at this point in the lifecycle are now fully matured SCP-020-TI A instances.

Addendum 020-TI-99 "Shepard Station Repurposing"


Document 020-TIS-1-2020 "Possible Symbiosis"

SCP-020-TI A instances have been observed resting, breeding and feeding in several indentations on SCP-020-TI's skin, and have been seen occasionally chasing and attacking any local fauna that approach SCP-020-TI, as well as feeding on parasitic organisms attempting to feed off of SCP-020-TI. This is most likely a form of symbiosis; SCP-020-TI provides shelter and protection to SCP-020-TI A, whilst SCP 020-TI A ward off parasitic organisms attempting to benefit off of SCP-020-TI, and may also assist in feeding SCP-020-TI. How this symbiotic relationship formed is currently unknown.

  Item #: 2008-CL Object Class: Neutralized Image of SCP-2008-CL taken during 2008 "Cloverfield" Incident Special Containment Procedures: The remains of SCP-2008-CL as well as all SCP-2008-CL A instances are to be cryogenically stored at Site 34 for research purposes.  Description:  SCP-2008-CL was a 240-300ft tall quadruped, amphibious organism which emerged in the Atlantic Ocean. The entity possessed elongated forelimbs that stretched to almost it's entire body length, terminating in elongated clawed appendages and making up the majority of it's size. The finger-like appendages were flexible enough to bend backwards, allowing it to occasionally knuckle-walk. The entity's hindlegs were shorter than that of it's forelimbs, though allowed it to move surprisingly fast for it's size. These appendages granted SCP-2008-CL immense physical strength, capable of destroying skyscrapers with swings of it's forelimbs and allowing it to rip the head off the Sta...
