**SCP-8168(The Rift)**
**Item #**: SCP-8168
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8168 is to be monitored at all times by personnel stationed at Outpost-8168-1 and Outpost-8168-2. Outpost-8168-1 is situated at the location of the rift and is tasked with preventing any entities from crossing into our world. Personnel assigned to this outpost are to remain alert and maintain constant surveillance for any signs of anomalous activity. MTF squad replenishments are to be kept on standby to respond to any potential threats and to send into the rift world.
Outpost-8168-2 is located at Mt.[DATA EXPLUNGED] in the real world. This outpost is responsible for communication with the rift world, specifically utilizing the Echo Chamber (SCP-8168-1). Personnel stationed at Outpost-8168-2 are to ensure that all communication with the rift world remains stable and uninterrupted. Strict security protocols are to be followed to maintain the integrity of the communication link.
**Description:**
SCP-8168, known as The Rift, is an anomalous portal located in a field of overgrown wild bushes and flowers. These plants, although outwardly appearing normal, exhibit unusual growth patterns and colors that are not consistent with any known flora. Upon physical contact with this overgrowth, individuals are transported into the rift world—a vast, open plain-like environment. Once inside, the rift becomes inaccessible, and attempts to re-enter the rift will result in unconsciousness or, in extreme cases, death. No individual has successfully re-entered the rift once they have crossed into this dimension.
[[image file:///C:/Users/svsvi/Downloads/Rift%20entry.png]]
**Communication Across the Rift:**
Communication between the two dimensions is possible through a location known as the Echo Chamber (SCP-8168-1). This cave system, located 4 miles from the original rift entry point within the rift world, functions as a one-way communication link. When an individual speaks into the Echo Chamber, their voice is echoed back and heard through a cave system in the real world in mt.[DATA EXPLUNGED]. The exact nature of the response from the rift world remains unpredictable, with the echoes often distorted or cryptic. Despite the erratic nature of the communication, this remains the primary method for the Foundation to interact with MTF psi 12 in the rift world.
**Outposts and MTF Operations:**
The Foundation has established two key outposts to manage SCP-8168:
**Outpost-8168-1:** Located at the original rift entry point within the rift world, this outpost is responsible for preventing any entities from crossing into our dimension. Personnel are tasked with monitoring the rift continuously and responding quickly to any potential breaches. MTF squads are stationed here and remain on standby to handle any threats should a breach occur.
**Outpost-8168-2:** Located in Mt.[DATA EXPLUNGED], this outpost focuses on communication with the rift world via the Echo Chamber. Personnel stationed at this outpost monitor the communication link with the rift world and ensure that the transmission of information remains secure. Regular maintenance of the communication equipment is required to keep the Echo Chamber operational.
**MTF Psi-12 "Wanderers of the Rift":**

**Member 4: Specialist “Echo” Rivera**
**Role:** Communications and Rift World Technologist
**Background:** Echo was an experimental physicist who once worked on the cutting edge of quantum communication. Now, she serves as the team’s expert on rift technology and the communication link to the Echo Chamber. Her knowledge of anomalous energy fields and dimensional rifts makes her the key to understanding and controlling the unpredictable nature of SCP-8168.
**Personality:** Quiet but intense, Echo is always in a state of constant learning, never satisfied with the current understanding of the rift world. She’s an enigma to most of her team, but they know they rely on her intellect to make sense of the unknown.
**Signature Equipment:** "Pulse Regulator" — A handheld device that can emit frequency pulses to stabilize rift energy and temporarily alter communication fields. She also has a high-tech visor that helps her analyze dimensional distortions and interact with rift-based phenomena.
**Biomes in the rift world:**
**1)The Rift Plains**
A vast, open plain-like biome within the rift world, the Rift Plains are expansive, with no discernible boundaries or points of reference. The terrain is flat, and the sky is perpetually gray with swirling clouds. This biome is home to various dangerous creatures, including SCP-8168-3 and
SCP-8168-2, the six-limbed, bear-like predators, which have been observed hunting in packs. The terrain itself is often covered in strange, shifting mist, making visibility low. The plains are highly volatile, with electromagnetic disturbances that can interfere with equipment, rendering communication and navigation extremely difficult.
**2)The Echo Caves**
A subterranean system within the rift world, the Echo Caves are a key location for communication between the rift world and the Foundation. Located 4 miles from the rift's entry point, this network of caves serves as the primary link for personnel stationed at Outpost-8168-2 to communicate with those within the rift world. The caves are naturally resonant, amplifying sounds, and creating strange and distorted echoes. The environment within the caves is dry, cold, and unstable, with frequent tremors that shake the cave system. The caves also seem to distort spatial dimensions, further complicating navigation.
**3)The Stillwater Lakes**
The only source of fresh water within the rift world, the Stillwater Lakes are home to SCP-8168-5 and serve as a crucial resource for MTF Psi-12 operatives. Despite their importance, the lakes are rendered hazardous by the presence of the large electric eel-like creatures, which discharge intense electrical pulses that ionize the surrounding water. These lakes are surrounded by marshy terrain and dense underbrush, making access to the water difficult and dangerous.
**4)The Kingdom in the Clouds**
The Kingdom in the Clouds is one of the most enigmatic and mysterious regions within the rift world. This biome is dominated by an expanse of clouds that, unlike typical clouds, are intangible and exhibit no precipitation. The clouds themselves are unable to be physically interacted with, defying normal atmospheric behavior. Above the clouds, however, lies a floating kingdom, its structures and inhabitants shrouded in mystery.
The kingdom is populated by instances of SCP-8168-6, a highly social species whose hierarchy is not fully understood due to limited reconnaissance. These entities, living in an environment suspended above the intangible clouds, have developed an intricate social structure, though the details of this organization remain elusive.
Due to the intangible nature of the clouds and the lack of any known flight mechanisms or methods of ascension, direct exploration of the kingdom is impossible. The only data available comes from sporadic, highly corrupted drone footage that has captured fleeting glimpses of the kingdom. These drone transmissions often exhibit extreme distortion, leading to speculation about the nature of the environment above the clouds and the potential for anomalous interference.
**Inhabitants of scp-8168:**
1)**Item #:** SCP-8168-2
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8168-2 instances are to be monitored and contained within the rift world. Any interaction with these organisms should be avoided unless under specific, approved research protocols. Personnel are prohibited from harvesting berries from SCP-8168-2 unless under direct supervision and with the necessary containment measures in place to prevent accidental consumption or exposure. Due to the dangerous nature of the berries, no unauthorized personnel are permitted within the rift world.
All research into the effects of the berries is to be conducted under controlled conditions with personnel equipped with the proper protective gear to prevent accidental exposure.
**Description:**
SCP-8168-2 is a bush-like organism found exclusively within the rift world. Despite its plant-like appearance, SCP-8168-2 is capable of movement, often shifting location in search of more fertile ground to propagate its unique fruit: berries that grow in clusters around the organism.
**Berries of SCP-8168-2:**
The berries produced by SCP-8168-2 exhibit a range of anomalous properties, each directly linked to their color. The effects of consuming the berries vary significantly, from mild and unpleasant reactions to extreme, life-altering consequences.
**Red Berries:**
Typically induce a violent and sudden heart attack in the consumer. The occurrence of death is often swift, and survivors of the reaction are rare.
**Blue Berries:**
Lead to severe vomiting, nausea, and general disorientation. Individuals who consume these berries may experience temporary loss of motor function, though they rarely lead to permanent harm.
**Green Berries:**
These berries have the potential to restore life to a deceased individual, though only under specific conditions. The "Life Berry" has an anomalous ability to revive those who have been dead for no longer than four hours. Any individual who has been deceased beyond this window cannot be revived. The revival is not guaranteed, and the process appears to be highly unstable, with varying success rates depending on the state of the individual’s body at the time of death.
The revival process can be unpredictable, and instances of partial revival or the creation of anomalous entities have been noted, though further study is required. It is hypothesized that the stability of the rift itself may influence the berry’s effectiveness.
**Behavior and Movement:**
Despite its stationary appearance, SCP-8168-2 is capable of slow, deliberate movement. The organism appears to possess an innate ability to seek out fertile ground, shifting over short distances to avoid less optimal soil conditions. This movement occurs at a pace slow enough to remain undetected unless directly observed for extended periods.
**Addendum 8168-2-A: Berries' Impact on the Environment**
The berries of SCP-8168-2 not only affect those who consume them but may also have a profound influence on the surrounding environment. During periods of berry growth, the immediate area experiences slight but noticeable changes in local atmospheric conditions. These include temperature fluctuations, increased humidity, and the occasional distortion of nearby spatial fields. It is believed these changes may be connected to the volatile energy present within the rift world itself.
2)**Item #: SCP-8168-3**
**Object Class: Keter**
Special Containment Procedures:
Due to the aggressive nature and intelligence of SCP-8168-3 instances, all personnel operating within the rift world must avoid direct engagement whenever possible. Outpost-8168-1 is to maintain constant surveillance for SCP-8168-3 activity, and MTF Psi-12 "Wanderers of the Rift" are authorized to engage only in extreme circumstances.
In the event of an SCP-8168-3 group attack, all personnel are to retreat to fortified positions and request immediate backup. No attempts to capture or pacify an instance have been successful, and prior encounters indicate that direct confrontation often results in significant personnel casualties.
Efforts to track and study SCP-8168-3 have been met with limited success due to their ability to coordinate and adapt to threats. Further research into potential deterrents or countermeasures is ongoing.
**Description:**
SCP-8168-3 is a highly aggressive, six-limbed, bear-like organism native to the rift world. Each instance stands approximately 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) tall when upright and possesses six muscular arms, each ending in razor-sharp claws measuring up to 30 cm (12 inches) in length. SCP-8168-3 exhibits heightened aggression toward all life forms within the rift world but primarily preys upon SCP-8168-2 instances.
A distinct anomaly in its physiology is the presence of an additional mouth located over its right shoulder. This secondary mouth appears to function independently from the primary one, often seen moving or snapping even when the main mouth is closed. Studies suggest that this mouth may assist in consumption or communication between pack members, though its exact purpose remains unknown.
**Behavior and Intelligence:**
Unlike typical predatory creatures, SCP-8168-3 displays pack-based hunting strategies, functioning as a highly organized and coordinated unit. When in groups, instances are capable of executing ambush tactics, flanking maneuvers, and even feigned retreats to lure prey into traps. Their ability to quickly adapt to new threats suggests a level of intelligence surpassing that of most known terrestrial predators.
Individual instances, while formidable, can be evaded or deterred. However, when encountered in a group, SCP-8168-3 becomes exponentially more dangerous, which has led to its classification as Keter rather than Euclid. Reports indicate that groups of SCP-8168-3 will actively stalk prey for extended periods, often displaying strategic patience before striking.
**Relationship with SCP-8168-2:**
SCP-8168-3 primarily hunts and consumes SCP-8168-2 instances. The exact reason for this predation remains unclear, though it is hypothesized that the berries of SCP-8168-2 may serve as a form of sustenance or stimulant for SCP-8168-3. Observations suggest that SCP-8168-3 is particularly drawn to green-berried SCP-8168-2 instances, potentially due to the anomalous properties associated with revival.
**Addendum 8168-3-A: Notable Encounter**
On ██/██/████, a four-member reconnaissance team was dispatched to investigate SCP-8168-3 hunting patterns. Within three hours, all contact was lost. A distress signal was later recovered from the Echo Chamber, containing distorted audio of what appeared to be coordinated vocalizations between multiple SCP-8168-3 instances.
Autonomous drone footage recovered from outpost-8168-2 suggests that SCP-8168-3 may be capable of rudimentary mimicry of human speech, though the full extent of this ability remains under investigation.
3)**Item #: SCP-8168-4**
**Object Class: Keter**
**Special Containment Procedures:**
Due to their status as apex predators within the rift world, SCP-8168-4 instances pose an extreme threat to all personnel operating within SCP-8168. Outpost-8168-1 is to maintain strict surveillance for any signs of SCP-8168-4 activity, and all excursions into the rift world must be approved by Site Command.
Encounters with SCP-8168-4 are to be avoided at all costs. If contact is unavoidable, personnel are advised to immediately retreat and alert Outpost-8168-1. MTF Psi-12 "Wanderers of the Rift" are the only unit authorized to engage SCP-8168-4 instances, and only in life-or-death scenarios.
Attempts to establish communication with SCP-8168-4-A have been proposed but remain highly experimental due to their unpredictable nature.
**Description:**
SCP-8168-4 refers to a species of massive, humanoid creatures covered in thick, overlapping scales. These creatures appear to be the dominant life form within the rift world, functioning as apex predators. SCP-8168-4 instances stand between 4.5 to 6 meters (15-20 feet) tall, with elongated limbs, powerful musculature, and predatory instincts. Their bodies are highly resistant to damage, with some reports indicating regenerative properties in wounded specimens.
SCP-8168-4 is divided into two primary subspecies, referred to as SCP-8168-4-A and SCP-8168-4-B, distinguished by cranial morphology and behavioral differences.
**SCP-8168-4-A ("Serpent Lords")**
SCP-8168-4-A instances possess serpentine heads, often resembling cobras, vipers, or pythons.
They are highly intelligent, strategic, and cunning, often displaying signs of advanced problem-solving and tactical thinking.
SCP-8168-4-A is known to set complex traps for prey, including SCP-8168-4-B instances, suggesting an awareness of their rival subspecies' weaknesses.
Limited evidence suggests they may possess a form of hierarchical social structure, though the extent of this organization remains unknown.
SCP-8168-4-A instances have been observed communicating via hissing vocalizations and body language, but it is unclear whether this constitutes a full language.
They are extremely territorial, with some evidence suggesting that certain regions of the rift world are under their control.
**SCP-8168-4-B ("Gator Brutes")**
SCP-8168-4-B instances possess alligator-like heads, with thick snouts, powerful jaws, and jagged teeth.
Unlike SCP-8168-4-A, SCP-8168-4-B relies almost entirely on brute strength and aggression rather than strategy.
They are far less intelligent than SCP-8168-4-A and often fall victim to traps and ambushes set by their more cunning counterparts.
Despite their lack of strategy, SCP-8168-4-B are incredibly durable, capable of surviving injuries that would be fatal to most other creatures in the rift world.
When enraged, SCP-8168-4-B instances enter a state of berserk fury, attacking anything in their path indiscriminately.
Behavior and Apex Predator Status:
SCP-8168-4 instances are considered the top predators of the rift world. SCP-8168-3 (six-armed bear-like creatures) have been observed actively avoiding areas controlled by SCP-8168-4.
SCP-8168-4-A and SCP-8168-4-B appear to be engaged in an ongoing conflict, with SCP-8168-4-A dominating through superior intelligence. It is believed that SCP-8168-4-A actively manipulates SCP-8168-4-B populations, using them as disposable warriors in battles against rival clans or other threats within the rift.
**Addendum 8168-4-A: Calculated Encounter**
On ██/██/████, MTF Psi-12 conducted a reconnaissance mission near an area known to be controlled by SCP-8168-4-A. During the operation, an audio recording was captured, consisting of structured hissing sounds interspersed with guttural growls. Analysis suggests a possible form of primitive language.
Shortly after the recording, the team encountered an SCP-8168-4-A specimen that appeared to be observing them from a distance but did not immediately attack. This marks the first documented instance of an SCP-8168-4 entity showing curiosity rather than hostility toward human presence.
Further investigation into SCP-8168-4-A's intelligence, potential language, and hierarchical structure is ongoing.
4)**Item #: SCP-8168-5**
**Object Class: Euclid**
**Special Containment Procedures:**
SCP-8168-5 is to be monitored in its natural habitat, the stillwater lakes of SCP-8168. These lakes are the only known source of fresh water within the rift world, making SCP-8168-5 a significant risk to any personnel who may attempt to drink from these lakes without proper precautions. MTF Psi-12 "Wanderers of the Rift" operatives are tasked with removing SCP-8168-5 instances from the lakes before personnel may approach for water consumption. Any attempt to harvest water without the removal of SCP-8168-5 is strictly prohibited.
**Description:**
SCP-8168-5 is an aquatic creature resembling a massive electric eel, measuring approximately 20 times the length of an average terrestrial eel. These creatures are capable of emitting intense electrical pulses, creating an ionic disturbance in the water that makes the surrounding area hazardous for extended periods. The electrical discharges are strong enough to temporarily charge the water, making it dangerous for any human or animal to enter unless the creatures have been removed.
SCP-8168-5 is highly cannibalistic, with instances preying on one another in the depths of the stillwater lakes. This aggressive behavior makes them even more difficult to manage, as their presence in the water must be carefully monitored to prevent conflicts among individuals.
**Biological and Ecological Impact:**
Despite their danger, SCP-8168-5 is a primary food source for MTF Psi-12 operatives. The creatures are edible, though consumption is not without consequences. Those who consume SCP-8168-5 typically experience a distinctive effect: five hours after ingestion, the individual’s skin turns a vivid green. This coloration lasts for up to 60 minutes, though the cause remains unknown. While the condition does not appear to be life-threatening, it is a known side effect and is closely monitored by the team.
The stillwater lakes, while crucial for hydration, are rendered potentially deadly by the presence of SCP-8168-5. The Foundation is conducting further research into possible mitigation strategies for the effects of the creature’s electrical pulses and their impact on the environment.
5)
**Addendum 8168-A: Berries of SCP-8168-2**
Due to the popularity and potency of the berries produced by the bush-like entities within the rift, the Foundation has made multiple attempts to acquire these berries for study. However, all attempts to bring them back into our dimension have failed. The berries lose their anomalous properties once transported to our side of the rift and become entirely inert.
The berries, while in the rift world, have potent and unpredictable effects, ranging from mild intoxication to severe neurological or physiological alterations. The Foundation continues to monitor any potential threats posed by these berries and has prohibited any unauthorized access to SCP-8168 for the purpose of obtaining specimens.
**Addendum 8168-B: Communication Failures**
While initial communication with entities from the rift world through the Echo Chamber yielded useful intelligence, recent attempts have met with increasingly erratic and incomplete responses. Several messages have been [DATA EXPLUNGED], and the overall reliability of communication with the rift world is under review. Further investigation into the cause of these failures is ongoing, though it is believed that fluctuations in the rift’s energy fields may be interfering with the stability of the communication link.
**Note:**
Due to the unpredictable and dangerous nature of SCP-8168, all personnel are reminded to adhere to strict containment and safety protocols when interacting with or studying the rift. Unauthorized access to SCP-8168, including the rift world or the Echo Chamber, is strictly prohibited.

Biomes in the rift world:
1)The Rift Plains
A vast, open plain-like biome within the rift world, the Rift Plains are expansive, with no discernible boundaries or points of reference. The terrain is flat, and the sky is perpetually gray with swirling clouds. This biome is home to various dangerous creatures, including SCP-7865-3 and SCP-7865-2, the six-limbed, bear-like predators, which have been observed hunting in packs. The terrain itself is often covered in strange, shifting mist, making visibility low. The plains are highly volatile, with electromagnetic disturbances that can interfere with equipment, rendering communication and navigation extremely difficult.
2)The Echo Caves
A subterranean system within the rift world, the Echo Caves are a key location for communication between the rift world and the Foundation. Located 4 miles from the rift's entry point, this network of caves serves as the primary link for personnel stationed at Outpost-7865-2 to communicate with those within the rift world. The caves are naturally resonant, amplifying sounds, and creating strange and distorted echoes. The environment within the caves is dry, cold, and unstable, with frequent tremors that shake the cave system. The caves also seem to distort spatial dimensions, further complicating navigation.
3)The Stillwater Lakes
The only source of fresh water within the rift world, the Stillwater Lakes are home to SCP-7865-5 and serve as a crucial resource for MTF Psi-12 operatives. Despite their importance, the lakes are rendered hazardous by the presence of the large electric eel-like creatures, which discharge intense electrical pulses that ionize the surrounding water. These lakes are surrounded by marshy terrain and dense underbrush, making access to the water difficult and dangerous.
4)The Kingdom in the Clouds
The Kingdom in the Clouds is one of the most enigmatic and mysterious regions within the rift world. This biome is dominated by an expanse of clouds that, unlike typical clouds, are intangible and exhibit no precipitation. The clouds themselves are unable to be physically interacted with, defying normal atmospheric behavior. Above the clouds, however, lies a floating kingdom, its structures and inhabitants shrouded in mystery.
The kingdom is populated by instances of SCP-7865-6, a highly social species whose hierarchy is not fully understood due to limited reconnaissance. These entities, living in an environment suspended above the intangible clouds, have developed an intricate social structure, though the details of this organization remain elusive.
Due to the intangible nature of the clouds and the lack of any known flight mechanisms or methods of ascension, direct exploration of the kingdom is impossible. The only data available comes from sporadic, highly corrupted drone footage that has captured fleeting glimpses of the kingdom. These drone transmissions often exhibit extreme distortion, leading to speculation about the nature of the environment above the clouds and the potential for anomalous interference.
5)The shadow plains.
Inhabitants of scp-7865:
1)Item #: SCP-7865-2
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-7865-2 instances are to be monitored and contained within the rift world. Any interaction with these organisms should be avoided unless under specific, approved research protocols. Personnel are prohibited from harvesting berries from SCP-7865-2 unless under direct supervision and with the necessary containment measures in place to prevent accidental consumption or exposure. Due to the dangerous nature of the berries, no unauthorized personnel are permitted within the rift world.
All research into the effects of the berries is to be conducted under controlled conditions with personnel equipped with the proper protective gear to prevent accidental exposure.
Description:
SCP-7865-2 is a bush-like organism found exclusively within the rift world. Despite its plant-like appearance, SCP-7865-2 is capable of movement, often shifting location in search of more fertile ground to propagate its unique fruit: berries that grow in clusters around the organism.
Berries of SCP-7865-2:
The berries produced by SCP-7865-2 exhibit a range of anomalous properties, each directly linked to their color. The effects of consuming the berries vary significantly, from mild and unpleasant reactions to extreme, life-altering consequences.
Red Berries:
Typically induce a violent and sudden heart attack in the consumer. The occurrence of death is often swift, and survivors of the reaction are rare.
Blue Berries:
Lead to severe vomiting, nausea, and general disorientation. Individuals who consume these berries may experience temporary loss of motor function, though they rarely lead to permanent harm.
Green Berries:
These berries have the potential to restore life to a deceased individual, though only under specific conditions. The "Life Berry" has an anomalous ability to revive those who have been dead for no longer than four hours. Any individual who has been deceased beyond this window cannot be revived. The revival is not guaranteed, and the process appears to be highly unstable, with varying success rates depending on the state of the individual’s body at the time of death.
The revival process can be unpredictable, and instances of partial revival or the creation of anomalous entities have been noted, though further study is required. It is hypothesized that the stability of the rift itself may influence the berry’s effectiveness.
Behavior and Movement:
Despite its stationary appearance, SCP-7865-2 is capable of slow, deliberate movement. The organism appears to possess an innate ability to seek out fertile ground, shifting over short distances to avoid less optimal soil conditions. This movement occurs at a pace slow enough to remain undetected unless directly observed for extended periods.
Addendum 7865-2-A: Berries' Impact on the Environment
The berries of SCP-7865-2 not only affect those who consume them but may also have a profound influence on the surrounding environment. During periods of berry growth, the immediate area experiences slight but noticeable changes in local atmospheric conditions. These include temperature fluctuations, increased humidity, and the occasional distortion of nearby spatial fields. It is believed these changes may be connected to the volatile energy present within the rift world itself.
2)Item #: SCP-7865-3
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Due to the aggressive nature and intelligence of SCP-7865-3 instances, all personnel operating within the rift world must avoid direct engagement whenever possible. Outpost-7865-1 is to maintain constant surveillance for SCP-7865-3 activity, and MTF Psi-12 "Wanderers of the Rift" are authorized to engage only in extreme circumstances.
In the event of an SCP-7865-3 group attack, all personnel are to retreat to fortified positions and request immediate backup. No attempts to capture or pacify an instance have been successful, and prior encounters indicate that direct confrontation often results in significant personnel casualties.
Efforts to track and study SCP-7865-3 have been met with limited success due to their ability to coordinate and adapt to threats. Further research into potential deterrents or countermeasures is ongoing.
Description:
SCP-7865-3 is a highly aggressive, six-limbed, bear-like organism native to the rift world. Each instance stands approximately 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) tall when upright and possesses six muscular arms, each ending in razor-sharp claws measuring up to 30 cm (12 inches) in length. SCP-7865-3 exhibits heightened aggression toward all life forms within the rift world but primarily preys upon SCP-7865-2 instances.
A distinct anomaly in its physiology is the presence of an additional mouth located over its right shoulder. This secondary mouth appears to function independently from the primary one, often seen moving or snapping even when the main mouth is closed. Studies suggest that this mouth may assist in consumption or communication between pack members, though its exact purpose remains unknown.
Behavior and Intelligence:
Unlike typical predatory creatures, SCP-7865-3 displays pack-based hunting strategies, functioning as a highly organized and coordinated unit. When in groups, instances are capable of executing ambush tactics, flanking maneuvers, and even feigned retreats to lure prey into traps. Their ability to quickly adapt to new threats suggests a level of intelligence surpassing that of most known terrestrial predators.
Individual instances, while formidable, can be evaded or deterred. However, when encountered in a group, SCP-7865-3 becomes exponentially more dangerous, which has led to its classification as Keter rather than Euclid. Reports indicate that groups of SCP-7865-3 will actively stalk prey for extended periods, often displaying strategic patience before striking.
Relationship with SCP-7865-2:
SCP-7865-3 primarily hunts and consumes SCP-7865-2 instances. The exact reason for this predation remains unclear, though it is hypothesized that the berries of SCP-7865-2 may serve as a form of sustenance or stimulant for SCP-7865-3. Observations suggest that SCP-7865-3 is particularly drawn to green-berried SCP-7865-2 instances, potentially due to the anomalous properties associated with revival.
Addendum 7865-3-A: Notable Encounter
On ██/██/████, a four-member reconnaissance team was dispatched to investigate SCP-7865-3 hunting patterns. Within three hours, all contact was lost. A distress signal was later recovered from the Echo Chamber, containing distorted audio of what appeared to be coordinated vocalizations between multiple SCP-7865-3 instances.
Autonomous drone footage recovered from outpost-7865-2 suggests that SCP-7865-3 may be capable of rudimentary mimicry of human speech, though the full extent of this ability remains under investigation.
3)Item #: SCP-7865-4
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures:
Due to their status as apex predators within the rift world, SCP-7865-4 instances pose an extreme threat to all personnel operating within SCP-7865. Outpost-7865-1 is to maintain strict surveillance for any signs of SCP-7865-4 activity, and all excursions into the rift world must be approved by Site Command.
Encounters with SCP-7865-4 are to be avoided at all costs. If contact is unavoidable, personnel are advised to immediately retreat and alert Outpost-7865-1. MTF Psi-12 "Wanderers of the Rift" are the only unit authorized to engage SCP-7865-4 instances, and only in life-or-death scenarios.
Attempts to establish communication with SCP-7865-4-A have been proposed but remain highly experimental due to their unpredictable nature.
Description:
SCP-7865-4 refers to a species of massive, humanoid creatures covered in thick, overlapping scales. These creatures appear to be the dominant life form within the rift world, functioning as apex predators. SCP-7865-4 instances stand between 4.5 to 6 meters (15-20 feet) tall, with elongated limbs, powerful musculature, and predatory instincts. Their bodies are highly resistant to damage, with some reports indicating regenerative properties in wounded specimens.
SCP-7865-4 is divided into two primary subspecies, referred to as SCP-7865-4-A and SCP-7865-4-B, distinguished by cranial morphology and behavioral differences.
SCP-7865-4-A ("Serpent Lords")
SCP-7865-4-A instances possess serpentine heads, often resembling cobras, vipers, or pythons.
They are highly intelligent, strategic, and cunning, often displaying signs of advanced problem-solving and tactical thinking.
SCP-7865-4-A is known to set complex traps for prey, including SCP-7865-4-B instances, suggesting an awareness of their rival subspecies' weaknesses.
Limited evidence suggests they may possess a form of hierarchical social structure, though the extent of this organization remains unknown.
SCP-7865-4-A instances have been observed communicating via hissing vocalizations and body language, but it is unclear whether this constitutes a full language.
They are extremely territorial, with some evidence suggesting that certain regions of the rift world are under their control.
SCP-7865-4-B ("Gator Brutes")
SCP-7865-4-B instances possess alligator-like heads, with thick snouts, powerful jaws, and jagged teeth.
Unlike SCP-7865-4-A, SCP-7865-4-B relies almost entirely on brute strength and aggression rather than strategy.
They are far less intelligent than SCP-7865-4-A and often fall victim to traps and ambushes set by their more cunning counterparts.
Despite their lack of strategy, SCP-7865-4-B are incredibly durable, capable of surviving injuries that would be fatal to most other creatures in the rift world.
When enraged, SCP-7865-4-B instances enter a state of berserk fury, attacking anything in their path indiscriminately.
Behavior and Apex Predator Status:
SCP-7865-4 instances are considered the top predators of the rift world. SCP-7865-3 (six-armed bear-like creatures) have been observed actively avoiding areas controlled by SCP-7865-4.
SCP-7865-4-A and SCP-7865-4-B appear to be engaged in an ongoing conflict, with SCP-7865-4-A dominating through superior intelligence. It is believed that SCP-7865-4-A actively manipulates SCP-7865-4-B populations, using them as disposable warriors in battles against rival clans or other threats within the rift.
Addendum 7865-4-A: Calculated Encounter
On ██/██/████, MTF Psi-12 conducted a reconnaissance mission near an area known to be controlled by SCP-7865-4-A. During the operation, an audio recording was captured, consisting of structured hissing sounds interspersed with guttural growls. Analysis suggests a possible form of primitive language.
Shortly after the recording, the team encountered an SCP-7865-4-A specimen that appeared to be observing them from a distance but did not immediately attack. This marks the first documented instance of an SCP-7865-4 entity showing curiosity rather than hostility toward human presence.
Further investigation into SCP-7865-4-A's intelligence, potential language, and hierarchical structure is ongoing.
4)Item #: SCP-7865-5
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-7865-5 is to be monitored in its natural habitat, the stillwater lakes of SCP-7865. These lakes are the only known source of fresh water within the rift world, making SCP-7865-5 a significant risk to any personnel who may attempt to drink from these lakes without proper precautions. MTF Psi-12 "Wanderers of the Rift" operatives are tasked with removing SCP-7865-5 instances from the lakes before personnel may approach for water consumption. Any attempt to harvest water without the removal of SCP-7865-5 is strictly prohibited.
Description:
SCP-7865-5 is an aquatic creature resembling a massive electric eel, measuring approximately 20 times the length of an average terrestrial eel. These creatures are capable of emitting intense electrical pulses, creating an ionic disturbance in the water that makes the surrounding area hazardous for extended periods. The electrical discharges are strong enough to temporarily charge the water, making it dangerous for any human or animal to enter unless the creatures have been removed.
SCP-7865-5 is highly cannibalistic, with instances preying on one another in the depths of the stillwater lakes. This aggressive behavior makes them even more difficult to manage, as their presence in the water must be carefully monitored to prevent conflicts among individuals.
Biological and Ecological Impact:
Despite their danger, SCP-7865-5 is a primary food source for MTF Psi-12 operatives. The creatures are edible, though consumption is not without consequences. Those who consume SCP-7865-5 typically experience a distinctive effect: five hours after ingestion, the individual’s skin turns a vivid green. This coloration lasts for up to 60 minutes, though the cause remains unknown. While the condition does not appear to be life-threatening, it is a known side effect and is closely monitored by the team.
The stillwater lakes, while crucial for hydration, are rendered potentially deadly by the presence of SCP-7865-5. The Foundation is conducting further research into possible mitigation strategies for the effects of the creature’s electrical pulses and their impact on the environment.

Addendum 7865-A: Berries of SCP-7865-2
Due to the popularity and potency of the berries produced by the bush-like entities within the rift, the Foundation has made multiple attempts to acquire these berries for study. However, all attempts to bring them back into our dimension have failed. The berries lose their anomalous properties once transported to our side of the rift and become entirely inert.
The berries, while in the rift world, have potent and unpredictable effects, ranging from mild intoxication to severe neurological or physiological alterations. The Foundation continues to monitor any potential threats posed by these berries and has prohibited any unauthorized access to SCP-7865 for the purpose of obtaining specimens.
Addendum 7865-B: Communication Failures
While initial communication with entities from the rift world through the Echo Chamber yielded useful intelligence, recent attempts have met with increasingly erratic and incomplete responses. Several messages have been [DATA EXPLUNGED], and the overall reliability of communication with the rift world is under review. Further investigation into the cause of these failures is ongoing, though it is believed that fluctuations in the rift’s energy fields may be interfering with the stability of the communication link.
Note:
Due to the unpredictable and dangerous nature of SCP-7865, all personnel are reminded to adhere to strict containment and safety protocols when interacting with or studying the rift. Unauthorized access to SCP-7865, including the rift world or the Echo Chamber, is strictly prohibited.Note:
