**Item Number:** **SCP-8974**
**Object Class:** **Keter**
**Special Containment Procedures:**
A **2 km radius exclusion zone** has been established around **Site-77** to prevent unauthorized access to SCP-8974’s territory. The perimeter is to be secured with **motion sensors, infrared surveillance, and automated warning systems**. Any unauthorized individuals attempting to enter the zone are to be detained, amnesticized, and relocated.
Surveillance drones must maintain **continuous monitoring** of the exclusion zone, with all detected anomalies reported to Site Command immediately. If SCP-8974 is sighted outside designated parameters, **Protocol Epsilon-73** is to be enacted, involving immediate area lockdown and deployment of **Mobile Task Force Mu-92 ("Root Cutters")** for recontainment.
Personnel entering the exclusion zone must be equipped with **specialized UV-emitters** calibrated to a minimum intensity of **400 nm**, which have been proven to repel SCP-8974 temporarily. All field operatives are required to undergo **psychological screening** and **environmental respect training** before deployment.
In the event of a containment breach, **Protocol Arboris-Nox** will be initiated, deploying **high-intensity floodlights** and **controlled incendiary measures** as a last resort.
**Description:**
SCP-8974 is a **humanoid entity** composed primarily of **woody plant material**, exhibiting features characteristic of multiple tree species, including **oak, yew, and cypress**. It possesses a **partially decomposed** humanoid structure, with **elongated limbs** and **roots that extend underground**, allowing it to manipulate vegetation in its immediate vicinity.
SCP-8974 remains **buried beneath the soil** for prolonged periods, surfacing primarily to **hunt** or react to perceived **territorial violations**. It employs **corpse-like decoys**, designated **SCP-8974-1**, as bait to lure unsuspecting humans into its domain. These remains show signs of **extensive decay, anomalous fungal growth, and soil integration**, indicating SCP-8974’s ability to **repurpose organic matter** into traps.
SCP-8974 emits **low-frequency vocalizations (sub-20 Hz)**, inducing **auditory hallucinations and disorientation** in those within a **50-meter radius**. These hallucinations often take the form of **pleas for help, familiar voices, or unsettling whispers**, drawing subjects closer to SCP-8974-1. When a target approaches, SCP-8974 **erupts from the ground** with extreme force, utilizing its **root-like appendages** to ensnare and immobilize prey. SCP-8974 has demonstrated **considerable strength**, capable of **uprooting fully matured trees** and **tearing through reinforced materials**.
Notably, SCP-8974 exhibits a **pronounced aversion to direct sunlight**. **Prolonged exposure to UV radiation** causes it to regress, retreating underground. However, this reaction appears **instinctual rather than fatal**, as SCP-8974 has repeatedly resurfaced after nightfall.
**Incident Reports:**
**Incident 8974-A - Unauthorized Exploration**
**Date:** 2023-01-12
**Summary:** Level 3 Researcher [REDACTED] entered the exclusion zone without authorization. Surveillance footage captured the researcher responding to **unverified auditory stimuli** and approaching an instance of SCP-8974-1. As they neared, SCP-8974 **emerged violently**, ensnaring the researcher in its appendages.
Mobile Recovery Units engaged SCP-8974, resulting in the **loss of two agents** before containment was re-established. The researcher's body was **never recovered**; subsequent scans revealed **traces of organic integration** with SCP-8974’s biomass.
**Breach Event 8974-B - Aggressive Pursuit**
**Date:** 2023-05-04
**Summary:** Four personnel violated containment protocols, entering SCP-8974’s domain. SCP-8974 displayed **extreme hostility**, incapacitating all four within minutes. Surveillance indicated **aggressive pursuit behaviors**, as SCP-8974 attempted to **leave its containment zone** to hunt an escaping agent. Only the **activation of high-intensity UV floodlights** prevented a full breach.
Following the event, SCP-8974 exhibited **prolonged agitation**, with **increased vocal emissions** and **environmental manipulation** observed over the following week.
**Research & Testing Logs:**
**Findings:**
SCP-8974 is **highly sensitive to frequencies below 20 Hz**, which can be exploited to provoke or disorient the entity.
**Harmonic resonance treatments** have induced **temporary docile behavior**, suggesting potential for non-lethal containment measures.
SCP-8974 displays **reactive intelligence**, showing varying aggression levels based on perceived respect for its habitat.
**Interview Log 8974-1:**
**Interviewed:** SCP-8974
**Interviewer:** Dr. [REDACTED]
**Foreword:** Dr. [REDACTED] conducted a controlled interview via **low-frequency transmission relay**, maintaining a safe distance from SCP-8974’s territory.
**Transcript Start:**
**Dr. [REDACTED]:** Why do you lure the living?
**SCP-8974:** [Deep rumbling] **They trespass. This is my land.**
**Dr. [REDACTED]:** What happens if we disrespect your land?
**SCP-8974:** [Prolonged silence] **I live in peace. Others will see.**
**Dr. [REDACTED]:** Are there others like you?
**SCP-8974:** [Snapping wood, shifting roots] **Not anymore.**
**Transcript End.**
**Recovery Log:**
SCP-8974 was discovered on **2022-11-05**, following a series of **unexplained disappearances** within **[REDACTED] National Park**. Foundation operatives intercepted local authorities after multiple reports of **distorted voices, vanishing hikers, and unearthed remains**.
Recovery teams encountered **significant resistance**, with initial contact resulting in **four casualties**. SCP-8974 was secured only after **tactical UV deployment** and **incendiary countermeasures** forced it into retreat.
**Personnel & Containment Recommendations:**
All assigned personnel must undergo **environmental ethics training** to minimize provocation.
**Psychological screenings** are mandatory before field deployment.
Further research into **harmonic resonance containment** is ongoing.
**Addendum:**
Recent field data suggests SCP-8974's behaviors are **increasingly erratic**, with **anomalous flora appearing beyond its exclusion zone**. Further investigation is underway.
The recent reclassification to **Thaumiel-Keter** is under reconsideration.
Excerpts of note:
Personnel entering the exclusion zone must be equipped with specialized UV-emitters calibrated to a minimum intensity of 400 nm, which have been proven to repel SCP-8974 temporarily. All field operatives are required to undergo psychological screening and environmental respect training before deployment.
Personnel & Containment Recommendations:
All assigned personnel must undergo environmental ethics training to minimize provocation.
Psychological screenings are mandatory before field deployment.
Further research into harmonic resonance containment is ongoing.
