**Ítem #:** SCP-8565
**Object Class:** Euclid
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-8565 inhabits in a 5 m x 5 m room at Site-19. It must be visited by at least one staff member each day, and only by trusted members of the entity; otherwise, the entity may perceive them as trying to control it, and this could cause severe or irreversible damage to their minds, or in extreme cases, to their bodies.
The inability to fully understand the anomaly and the inherent unpredictability of its abilities justify the Euclid class, so containment procedures that are constantly reviewed and adapted will be necessary. A sealed containment cell and materials that block anomalous perception must be used, along with protocols to limit interaction with personnel and maintain a controlled isolation environment. Since its behavior is unpredictable and its abilities affect perception, additional measures and more complex procedures will be required than for a simpler Euclid entity.
Given the entity's "mischievous" nature, these precautions should be taken very seriously:
**#1 Advanced Humanoid Containment Cell:** Use a standard containment cell for humanoid entities, but adapt it to minimize exposure to external stimuli that trigger and amplify their abilities, and with additional measures to counteract their illusions, such as restricting sensory stimuli (vision, hearing) and using non-optical sensors to monitor it.
> **Containment Cell Design:**
>
> 1) Opaque and non-reflective materials: To prevent the entity from using reflections to alter the environment or see through hallways.
>
> 2) Cell without windows or visual openings: The ability to see the entity can be a trigger for its abilities.
>
> 3) Monitoring systems based on other sensors: Instead of cameras, pressure sensors, laser detectors, or audio recorders could be used to verify its presence and location.
**#2 Perception Restriction:**
Visual Restriction: Prevent the contact from being seen directly or through optical devices, such as cameras. Non-visual sensors should be used for surveillance.
Auditory and Other Stimuli Restriction: Consider systems to mitigate other sensory stimuli that could be affected by illusions and perceptual distortion.
Use of Non-Optical Probes and Sensors: Employ pressure detectors, infrared, or other sensors to monitor the entity's location and status without the use of cameras or devices that could be distorted.
**#3 Adaptive Containment:** Since abilities can be unpredictable, containment procedures should be flexible and subject to continuous review and adaptation as more information about the entity is obtained.
**#4 Restrict Interaction and Information:** Severely limit staff interaction with the entity to avoid exposure to its abilities and potential contamination of reality.
**#5 Interaction Procedures and Personnel:**
1) Strict Protocols: Restricted access and a minimum number of personnel would be required to interact with the entity to prevent its illusions from affecting untrained personnel.
2) Personnel Training: Personnel should be trained to recognize illusions and understand how to interact with the entity without activating or worsening its distortion abilities.
3) Use of perception inhibitors: The use of devices or substances that block perception or the sense of reality could be considered for personnel who must enter the cell.
**#6 Nature of the Euclid Class and Its Implications:**
Unpredictability: The Euclid classification implies that the entity's behavior is not predictable with certainty, justifying the need for more complex containment procedures.
Incomplete Understanding: Without fully understanding the nature of its abilities or their origin, containment must be adaptable and prepared for the unexpected.
Preventing the Triggering of Abilities: The primary focus would be to keep the entity in a docile state, avoiding any factors that might cause it to express its reality-warping powers.
Unpredictable Behavior: The nature of its illusory and reality-warping abilities makes the entity inherently unpredictable.
Little-Understood Nature: More research is required to fully understand the extent and mechanisms of its powers, implying that containment is not infallible and may require constant adaptation.
**#7 In case of a Containment Breach:** If the entity were to escape, any sudden or violent action that could upset the entity and cause serious consequences should be avoided. Instead, the best-trained psychiatric and therapeutic personnel should assist in calming the entity and trying to convince it to return to its containment cell.
**Description:** SCP-8565 is a male humanoid apparently in his 25s with a height of approximately 1.73 m, wearing a vivid red jacket with a black short-sleeved shirt underneath, long black pants and a pair of black shoes, but his most distinguishing feature is an unusual cardboard fox mask that completely covers his head, and only shows the luminescent irises of his fox-like eyes (the iris of his right eye is red and the iris of his left eye is purple), with a playful smile with protruding fangs in the manner of a "mischievous grin" (this is totally indestructible and completely impossible to separate from her head). It calls himself the "Star Dreamer" (because before arrives the foundation it used to travel on a shooting star). Regarding his nature, the entity claims to be of human origin, with a birth anomaly that granted him powerful psychic abilities allowing him to manipulate illusions to the point of warping reality and altering the fabric of existence through his incomprehensibly powerful illusions, being able to affect and influence reality, unreality, and even the "oneiric world" and the subconscious, being able to turn illusion into reality and vice versa (the entity refers to this ability as Illusiokinesis). It also claims to have been able to alter his own perception of reality in order to "perceive" higher dimensions and adapt his own existence to access them, even reaching as far as the 11th dimension. According to the entity, his consciousness exists not only in the physical world but also in the "oneiric world" of all existence. This is apparently a fact, as on multiple occasions other anomalies at the site have been able to, in one way or another (sometimes simply through carelessness on his part), "kill" him; his body instantly disintegrates, and within a matter of a few hours it manages to rematerialize in the physical world.
The entity is not an easy creature to wound or kill. Unless its spirit is completely destroyed, it will regenerate in the spiritual plane of the oneiric/dream world until it is strong enough to rematerialize in the waking world. A weapon becomes useless after being used once on the entity; the entity becomes immune to damage from that specific weapon thereafter. However, enchanted or blessed weapons deal full damage repeatedly, and this damage recovers at normal speed. Extinguishing the entity's life will return it to the dream world.
The entity is characterized by being a metamorphic/mimetic being and very deceptive, although it has not shown or attempted unmotivated hostile actions (unless provoked) and normally only appears curious or has an irresistible "instinct" to play pranks that only end in someone's humiliation. When in its docile state, it appears jovial and charismatic, with a touch of eccentricity and hospitality, behaving with education and refinement, taking its role as the "host" very seriously and trying as much as possible to make its guests feel comfortable in its room. It has a very curious way of speaking, as it consists of speaking eloquently while accompanying its dialogues with impeccable and captivating gesticulation. The entity displays excellent telepathic and empathic abilities that allow it to interact in a unique way with the other residents of the site, but it is precisely for this reason that it is also very dangerous, due to its high potential for manipulation and influence over other beings to the point of making them believe that they are acting on their own when it is the entity itself that guides their actions with the most subtle hypnosis. It is shown to be cooperative and helpful with the male members of the staff and very charming and courteous with the female members, but it is very important not to make it feel insecure or uncomfortable since it is very sensitive both emotionally and to its entire environment (being able to see things invisible to others and perceive patterns difficult or impossible to perceive for others) and a small mistake can cause a violent unleashing of its abilities, affecting both minds and reality itself. The entity exhibits great adaptability to different environments and changing situations, as well as "immunity" to the effects of physical reality (such as being touched by light or influenced by gravity) unless it chooses to override it in order to better interact with reality. It will avoid physical confrontations as much as possible and instead use all him tricks, only after exhausting its entire arsenal will it resort to using "claws and fangs," as the entity itself describes it.
SCP-8565 also holds a staff of a simple, elegant design as its most prized possession: It is a long scepter with a spear-shaped head and light, subtle purple embellishments, made entirely of a very unusual alloy, consisting of an interesting mix of silver and chrome (silver-chrome), and, against all natural laws, is impossible to destroy. The entity refers to this object as its "Star Staff" and uses it both for entertainment during its shows and for self-defense should it be faced with a particularly unusual threat, always wielding it with flawless motion (regardless of its intended use).
Blood tests show that the entity's DNA is completely bizarre, being an unlikely and impossible mix of human DNA (Blood type: O negative. No record in any database.) and that of 37 species of vulpines, and every time it is asked for an answer to this question, the entity refuses to give a clear answer to this genetic anomaly. When threatened by an unusual danger, the entity adopts a form adapted for physical battles: Which turns out to be that of a humanoid red fox-like creature with a vulpes physiology, with a total of 9 prehensile tails that it can extend and use as very versatile weapons. The entity possesses an uncanny ability to deny any form of control over itself or others, making it impossible to manipulate by force, and it also requires no form of sustenance (although it enjoys eating and drinking). It is generally fun-loving, loving games, riddles, puzzles, songs, jokes and ironic or hilarious situations, chess, and even conversation, but one of its favorite pastimes is "painting what's on its mind" on a white board.
The entity is known for performing very attractive shows as a magician from time to time when it escapes from his containment cell, it loves having an audience and the more audience it has, the easier it will be to get him back to his containment cell at the end of his show. The entity has a soft spot for animals, friendly beings, music, chocolate and (for some reason) mobile apps.
**Addendum #8565-1:** Discovery.
SCP-8565 was discovered during the investigation of a series of spatial, temporal, and cognitive anomalies (buildings with endless staircases leading up and down, temporal loops, strange visions, unnatural events, people exhibiting strange and unusual behavior, etc.) conducted and directed by Dr. Alistair Vance, physicist and space-time anomaly researcher, following a pattern from Maracaibo, in northwestern Venezuela, through Brazil, Paraguay and finally the city of Buenos Aires, in east-central Argentina. During a survey of the grasslands of the Pampas Plain, on [DATA EXPUNGED] at 5:55 p.m., researchers detected an immense surge of psionic energy at the site, alerting Mobile Task Forces, a few seconds later, the entire research team observed a strange and sudden shooting star crossing the sky without extinguishing at any time, but in an unnatural way following a senseless pattern at a speed almost impossible for the human eye to follow, finally it fell about 100 meters away from the current location of the research team and it proceeded to head towards the impact zone, and they soon found SCP-8565 standing in the distance. A designated group advanced towards SCP-8565 first while the rest watched cautiously, the entity remained unfazed even though it was aware of the presence of armed members heading towards it, when they finally reached the entity, it turned towards them with a friendly greeting and then waved its arm in the air causing a drastic alteration in the color of the sky, making it turn from skyblue blue to purple. After this, the entity asked if the sky "looked prettier," to which one of the Mobile Task Force members responded by trying to restrain the entity, which upon making contact vanished in a kind of crimson-colored cloud of gas or smoke, only to appear without prior notice or explanation behind them and then voluntarily surrender itself to the custody of the Foundation, even politely requesting to be handcuffed, and then the entity returned the sky to normal.
The following interview was conducted by Dr. Alistair Vance, physicist and space-time anomaly researcher, during the initial investigation.
> **Interviewee:** SCP-8565
>
> **Interviewer:** Dr. Alistair Vance
>
> **Preamble:** The primary objective of this interview is to understand and comprehend the nature of SCP-8565: What exactly is it? What are its specific affinities/abilities? What is its origin? What is the scope or limitation of its abilities? What are its intentions or goals?
>
> **<BEGIN LOG, Friday, 03/13/2020, 3:00 PM>**
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Good. Let me introduce myself: I am Dr. Alistair Vance, physicist and researcher of space-time anomalies. My intentions with this interview are clear: I need to understand and comprehend, if possible, your nature, your abilities or affinities, and the effects of your presence on the environment around you. Having said that, tell me, what is your name?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Oh! Good morning, afternoon, evening... whatever! Now let me introduce myself: I am the Star Dreamer, the greatest Master of Illusions you have ever seen, and I don't mean to brag, but I could put on a great show all over the world "at the same time" effortlessly. How do you see it?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Master of Illusions? So, you possess the ability to manipulate illusions and the perception of other beings, right? Explain to me exactly what you are, I need to understand. Enlighten me!
>
> **SCP-8565:** Well. You see Mr. Vance, I am a human, just like you, or at least I once was, but by some whim (or error) of the universe I was born with an anomaly that allowed me access to unlimited potential hidden within the human mind, an ability that gave me the ability to create and manipulate all kinds of illusions as well as my own perception and that of other beings, I call this ability Illusiokinesis (or illusion manipulation, if you prefer), of course, at first I was only capable of manipulating mere illusions, hallucinations and mirages, simple deceptions of perception and the mind (although when I became considerably powerful and skilled I was able to begin to solidify those "deceptions" and I was even able to extend my power to and over the "oneiric world" and dreams). At an advanced level, I became capable of creating and manipulating psychosomatic illusions, "deceptions" so realistic that they were capable of causing physical effects on my targets (or even entire environments, if I used a lot of mental power). Once I mastered this ability, I unleashed immeasurable psionic power that enabled me to create and manipulate with total authority absolute illusions, false and completely invented realities that covered immeasurable (even cosmic) areas and were completely and utterly indistinguishable from reality. Even the strongest minds fell prey to these completely unconventional (and completely psychosomatic) illusions. But one day, I took my illusionokinesis to the extreme, bringing it to its perfect form: True Illusion. This form of my power was totally removed from basic illusions, since with it I could create, shape and manipulate illusions to such a degree that I could make them become "reality" thus completely blurring the boundaries between reality and illusion, I was even capable of turning the phenomenon of illusion into reality and vice versa, thus managing to extend my power over reality, unreality and the dreamlike, I could manifest my imagination in reality, reality had become an extension of the illusions of my imagination. I was even able to alter my own perception of reality to be able to "perceive" the higher and invisible dimensions to this dimension and I altered my own existence to access them, even reaching the 11th dimension. In each dimension I learned countless things that would be unreal, surreal, or inconceivable to this 3D plane, but in the 8th and 11th dimensions I learned to use my abilities in ways unknowable and unfathomable to the 3rd dimension, in fact, it was in the 8th dimension that I discovered how to transplant my consciousness along with my soul and spirit into the “oneiric world” of all existence without losing my physical existence.… That’s a lot of minds to inhabit, isn’t it?! I was able to escape and free myself from all the rules, restrictions, and limitations of this reality (in fact, biologically I am 25 years old but chronologically my age is irrelevant and relative).
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Hmmm. That was a very interesting story... a bit long, but interesting.
>
> **SCP-8565:** Well, Mr. Vance, you told me to "enlighten" you, and I assumed you'd like to take the scenic route.
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Well, excuse me, but...
>
> **SCP-8565:** I excuse you, but don't do it again, huh?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Are you making fun of me?
>
> **SCP-8565:** (Places a hand on the muzzle of his mask and chuckles)
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Let's change the subject! So. Do you speak any other languages? Do you know any other languages?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Does omnilingualism count? I speak the universal language of thought! This allows me to understand and speak any language without difficulty.
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Wow! You're a box full of surprises.
>
> **SCP-8565:** You have no idea.
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** And do you have any evidence to prove anything you've told me?
>
> **SCP-8565:** You don't believe me, do you? You think I'm a liar? Does it have something to do with my mask or my abilities?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Of course not. I'm a scientist and I rely on facts! I need something tangible, or at least visible, to prove the veracity of your claims. For example: Can you prove that your journey through different dimensions and planes of existence was real?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Can you speak crocodile?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** What? No.
>
> **SCP-8565:** And why?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Well, because I'm not a crocodile.
>
> **SCP-8565:** Tadah! How do you expect me to talk to a three-dimensional being about four-dimensional things using a three-dimensional form like the one you're perceiving right now, huh? A three-dimensional tongue can't pronounce a four-dimensional "word." Is that enough for you, Mr. Vance? Or should I explain it with little drawings?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** (Puzzled) Well, uh... we'd better move on to another topic. What is the exact extent of your abilities? Do they have any limitations?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Well, Mr. Vance, both of your questions have the same answer: The extent of my abilities is subjective, but if your scientific mind is eager for answers, let's just say my only limitation is my imagination.
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** I see. So, do you have any specific goals or objectives? Do you have any plans for your abilities?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Oh, yes!
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** What are those plans?
>
> **SCP-8565:** I have big plans, but that's a secret, okay? Shhhhh!
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** (Writing on a piece of paper) And you think you could tell me a little about those big plans?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Hey, Dr.? Why are you writing over your other hand?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** (Realizes the piece of paper is actually his left hand and then experiences surreal hallucinations)
>
> **SCP-8565:** What's wrong, Dr.? Are you feeling dizzy?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** (Regains his composure) What was that?! Did you do it?!
>
> **SCP-8565:** (Whistling while looking away)
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** I'm afraid the interview is over!
>
> **SCP-8565:** Oh! Someone like-minded, no doubt.
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** You will be in confinement until the next interview.
>
> **SCP-8565:** See you soon...!
>
> **<END LOG, Friday, 03/13/2020, 3:08 PM>**
>
> **Interviewer's Note:** Although SCP-8565 claims to be of human origin, it has become abundantly clear that it no longer is (if he ever was). In fact, the space-time anomalies that led researchers to the entity and the immense psionic outburst detected by the research team provide very tangible evidence that whatever this entity truly is, it is highly dangerous, and its scope and limitations are still unknown.
The entity appears to be very emotionally sensitive, so from now on, I will be in charge of all research on SCP-8565 with the assistance of my research colleague, Dr. Elena Mártir, a psychologist and researcher of anomalous psyches. No action regarding SCP-8565 is to be taken without my consent. And although SCP-8565 claims this with certainty, it is not a simple illusionist; make no mistake about this entity.
Based on the experience of my first interaction with SCP-8565, I highly recommend taking these possible procedures and precautions whenever interviewing the entity:
> **Containment measures:** Ensure the entity is adequately contained, perhaps with restraints or a controlled environment that limits the effect of its illusions.
>
> **Safety equipment:** Staff should be equipped with technology to detect and counter illusions, as well as emergency medical equipment for staff.
>
> **Trained personnel:** Interviewing an entity with these capabilities requires specialized personnel who understand psychology, behavior, and reality manipulation techniques.
>
> **Environmental testing:** Conduct the interview in a room that can be quickly decomposed or is designed to minimize the threats of warped reality.
>
> **Psychological preparation:** Staff should be prepared for the possibility of their senses being deceived and to maintain composure in unreal or threatening situations.]
**Addendum #8565-2:** Researches and observations.
The entity is a complete enigma; everything related to it remains shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, even after three months of investigation. It tends to use "xenopsychic reality warping" to "grant wishes" to those it likes, as long as they don't harm other beings/entities it also likes, and it has a particular fondness for masks. For some reason, it likes to create illogical, irrational, absurd, or insane realities, whether illusory or oneiric (although it could do so in the outside world if it wanted to). On rare occasions, when the entity experiences an intense emotion, it tends to blur the lines between reality and dreams, causing the entire environment to become a surreal and bizarre world. Depending on how individuals are perceived by the entity (whether it likes them or not) it can temporarily trap their minds in false realities created from illusions filled with endless paradises and the manifestation of their greatest desires and wishes or alternatively it can give them "sweet dreams" and heal the mind, soul, spirit and even the body of the dreamers through dream worlds; but otherwise it can "permanently" trap individuals' minds either in illusory realities or endless dreams designed to torment or punish his victims by filling these places with horrendous nightmares, traumas, fears, and anything else usable for psychological warfare/psychic torture (although he can also add horrors of his own making) and in these mental prisons any damage received by their minds will manifest in their bodies (even death).
**Regarding his illusory abilities:**
> SCP-8565 can manipulate and cast illusions and hallucinations, allowing them to alter the perceptions of others and create entirely fabricated experiences. Illusions are false interpretations of existing stimuli, such as making a small object appear larger or masking a real location by disguising it. Hallucinations, on the other hand, involve creating sensory experiences without any basis in reality, such as making someone see a nonexistent creature, hear imaginary voices, or feel phantom sensations. This power enables SCP-8565 to distort the way targets see, hear, touch, smell, or taste, leading to a variety of deceptive and strategic effects.
>
> At a basic level, SCP-8565 can distort the size, shape, or appearance of objects or environments, or mask individuals and areas to render them invisible or unrecognizable. In a more skilled level, SCP-8565 can create entirely immersive experiences, forging illusions that affect multiple senses at once. This can extend to replicating entire landscapes or scenarios, making them indistinguishable from reality for those affected. By exploiting a target’s fears, memories, or desires, SCP-8565 can craft hallucinations tailored to destabilize them emotionally or mentally, often leading to confusion, fear, or manipulation.
>
> Illusions can serve many purposes, such as making SCP-8565 stealthy, hiding objects or places, disorienting targets by distorting their spatial awareness, or tricking targets into harming themselves or others. At their most advanced, illusions can simulate physical sensations like pain or heat, blur the line between reality and fiction, and affect large groups of people simultaneously. However, illusions remain rooted in perception—they cannot physically alter reality. For example, illusory fire may look, sound, and feel real, but it will not cause actual burns unless the target’s mind is so thoroughly convinced that their body reacts psychosomatically.
>
> While illusions often target visual perception, in a powerful level SCP-8565 can manipulate all senses, making their creations fully immersive and nearly indistinguishable from reality. By blending creativity with precision, this power offers near-limitless potential for deception, misdirection, and psychological warfare.
>
> However, at higher levels, illusions can extend beyond being perceptual distortions and become effects capable of simulating all manner of phenomena, from projected images to distortions in reality.
**Regarding his perceptual abilities:**
> The entity can manipulate perception, which is the mind processing of sensory information to organize and interpret it. Forms of sensory information include visual (sight), haptic (touch), temporal (time) information. By manipulating perception, various effects can be achieved. An illusion, for example, is producible using this ability and so is the removal of perception itself.
>
> With a sufficient deal of control over this ability, it becomes possible to quickly and easily shape even complex “illusions” for others - to the point where even those who are aware of what is happening begin to doubt their own senses. There doesn’t seem to be any way to tell when this is being done, and as such there is no clear defense. Used on oneself, this power can render one effectively immune to any other form of illusion, as they would be able to perceive the underlying reality near-instantly. It is also a potent tool for gathering information, as it can be used to experience distant events, among other things.
>
> Of course, although the illusions this creates can be made flawless, they are still only illusions, and thus cannot actually affect anything, although they may seem like they do. Being stabbed by an illusionary sword would still hurt, although it won’t actually kill.
>
> Perception is what can consider the result of the combined experience of all of one's senses - the means by which someone is aware of the world around them. Manipulating perception is more than simply creating illusions. Rather, it is the act of directly changing an individual's ability to experience the world. From the basic senses such as sight and hearing, to those lesser known, such as proprioception or nociception, to the rare abilities to sense auras or magic - all of these senses together make up an individual's perception of the world, and manipulating it entails nothing less than restructuring the world as they are able to sense it.
>
> Unlike regular illusion magic, which functions by creating some new form or sensation to be perceived, this acts directly on the mind of the target. As such, the illusions it creates are effectively flawless, barring some deliberate clue left by the wielder of the power. By shaping the way someone perceives the world, it’s possible to subtly alter what they can sense, adding, removing, or altering small details; or to go further and completely reshape how they sense the world, effectively trapping them in a perfectly detailed hallucination.
>
> However, affecting others’ perceptions in such a way is but one use of this power. It can also be used to see through illusions, or even into the minds of others. Being that there is no difference between affecting your own perception or that of another, it can grant these abilities to anyone, for as long as the wielder is willing to apply the effort needed to maintain the effect.
>
> Owing to the way this power functions, it isn’t something that can be easily overcome. Only incredibly powerful individuals, or those whose own abilities deal specifically with the senses, have any hope of overturning its effects. To everyone else, it becomes impossible to tell if anything they perceive is real, or merely something fabricated by this power.
**As for his oneiric abilities:**
> The entity has the ability to enter, shape, and manipulate the dreams of himself and others, taking absolute control over the intangible yet deeply personal realm of dreaming. Dreams are not just fleeting illusions conjured by a sleeping brain — they are vivid expressions of the subconscious, shaped by emotion, memory, trauma, desire, and thought. They are coded messages from the mind to itself, unbound by logic, and the entity holds the cipher to them all. Whether the dream is a comforting fantasy, a tangled metaphor, or a howling nightmare, the user becomes its architect and master, able to alter its course or create it from nothing.
>
> Within this ever-shifting dreamscape, physical laws crumble. Time can expand or collapse, places morph with a glance, and a single feeling can birth entire worlds. The entity can sculpt environments, summon beings, replay or rewrite memories, and control the flow of narrative with total clarity. It can dive into the dreams of others undetected or announce their presence as a godlike force. Emotions, thoughts, and fears become tangible forces to interact with, and the dreamer’s state of mind becomes a canvas the user can paint, twist, or erase entirely.
>
> The entity can create shared dreams, binding multiple minds into a single, synchronized dreamworld where they can interact, confront, or collaborate — or be played against one another without ever realizing it. It may form persistent dream realms, stabilized with thought and will, functioning as pocket dimensions where time flows differently and the laws of nature bend. It can hide within dreams, travel between sleepers like a phantom, or even use dream paths as shortcuts through mental space, bypassing physical barriers.
>
> It can extract buried memories, rewrite identities, or implant new thoughts that take root in the waking mind. Trauma can be softened, healed, or exploited. Longings can be fulfilled or corrupted. Through the dreamscape, it may bypass all defenses — psychological, magical, or otherwise — for in sleep, the mind is most open, most vulnerable, and most unguarded. What they do there may linger: emotional scars, behavioral shifts, dreams that repeat endlessly, or ideas the dreamer believes are their own.
>
> The power extends across every form of dreaming — from the deepest unconscious visions to the drifting clouds of daydreams. The entity can intrude upon or fabricate lucid dreams, granting the dreamer awareness within the dream while still controlling the experience themselves or allowing shared agency. It can blur the line between lucidity and illusion, using it to awaken insight or induce confusion. Nightmares become tools or weapons — raw terror molded into psychological torment, punishment, or manipulation. The entity can amplify subconscious fears into overwhelming horror or guide the dreamer through their worst memories as a form of harsh therapy or cruel entertainment.
>
> Even in waking life, the entity’s influence may persist. It can manipulate daydreams, subtly affecting conscious fantasy, distraction, or imagination — causing visions during meditation, boredom, or moments of vulnerability. These waking visions can be laced with suggestion, temptation, inspiration, or deceit. Through such control, the entity can blur reality and unreality, making the dreamer question what’s real even after waking. Sleepwalking, hallucinations, and déjà vu may all be symptoms of their lingering presence.
>
> To this entity, sleep is not rest — it is opportunity. Dreams are not illusions — they are malleable worlds, reflections of truth wrapped in imagination, and they are the raw material of their oneiric power. Whether to offer enlightenment, comfort, chaos, or terror, it hold dominion over all states of dreaming — from the fleeting flicker of a daydream to the endless descent into nightmare. And those who sleep in their presence may never wake the same… if at all.
Without fully understanding the nature of its abilities nor their origin, it has been concluded that further research is required to fully understand the extent and mechanisms of its powers, which involves interacting further with the entity but without altering its mental or emotional states in any severe ways. An approximate number of [DATA EXPUNGED] scientists and researchers attempted to uncover the entity's secrets through forceful means, resulting in severe repercussions and harm to [DATA EXPUNGED], dangerous glitches and enveloping the entire environment in static video in [DATA EXPUNGED], and causing an alarming number of deaths of approximately [DATA EXPUNGED] and [DATA EXPUNGED] injured and affected by dangerous psychic effects and disruptive glitches. All information must be handled with extreme care due to the nature of the entity and its abilities, as any information (even that located in the mind) could be erased or altered for uncertain purposes, or even staff members could be affected and no one would be able to notice such changes (and there is a worrying possibility that there are staff members who have been erased or altered without the Foundation's knowledge).

> **SCP-8565:** Oh! Are you referring to that pretty young lady with shiny black hair and nice glasses who visits me every day?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** That's right. She suggested a couple of questions for this interview.
>
> **SCP-8565:** Oh! That's great! What's the first?
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** First, I need to know. Why did you surrender without any resistance when we found you in the Pampas?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Oh! Because I knew there was a place where there were others like me.
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Hmmm? You mean the contained anomalies?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Yes! I finally found a place where I'm not the only stranger.
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** So, you caused all those space-time anomalies in South America to get our attention and bring you to our facility?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Yes... and no. You see, I did wish to be found, but those "anomalies" were just practice to perfect my art. Because I'm an artist! And I've turned illusionism into an art! (And a very good one, at that!).
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** I understand. So you desired to be in the company of abnormal or unnatural beings like yourself, right?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Indeed.
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** And you're not concerned about the unusually dangerous anomalies here?
>
> **SCP-8565:** Nope. Besides, that's what they're being studied for, right? Information gives power!
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** True. Well. We're out of time. We'll see each other again during visiting hours in your containment cell, okay? (Feels a slight headache)
>
> **SCP-8565:** Are you feeling okay, Dr. Vance? (Snaps his fingers, causing a container of pills for all kinds of ailments to appear) Here, Doctor! This will help you feel great about any ailment in a matter of milliseconds. But it's just for you and Miss Mártir, huh?!
>
> **Dr. Alistair Vance:** Yes. Okay. Very tanks! See you soon.
>
> **SCP-8565:** (Waves as he bids a friendly farewell) See you, Mr. Vance...!

> **Interviewer's Note:** SCP-8565 appeared to be more docile and gentle this time around; apparently my claims regarding its emotional sensitivity are true. Dr. Elena Mártir's advices has been very helpful in my researches on SCP-8565, and the entity has also formed a strong bond with she. According to the entity, it wanted to be found and brought to Foundation facilities, apparently to coexist with other anomalies, and for some reason it is unafraid of any particularly dangerous anomaly.
And I repeat: No action regarding SCP-8565 is to be taken without my knowledge, much less without my consent.
**Addendum #8565-4:** During my most recent visit to SCP-8565's containment cell, I was able to observe a clear example of its vast and potent abilities: Its containment cell has undergone a drastic change not only on a structural level, but also on a spatial level right before my eyes.
When I went to visit SCP-8565, it politely invited me in (as usual), only this time it referred to its cell as a "room," which puzzled me a bit. Then, when I entered, SCP-8565 excitedly exclaimed, "This room is boring! Let's make it fun!" and in that same instant, the entire cell simply "changed," as if it had simply been redrawn. I immediately asked he what had happened, and he replied that he had simply "changed how reality looked" inside her cell. It was comfortably furnished and very well decorated in an elegant yet simple style, complete with an entire section that served as its art gallery and a section that served as a very comfortable living area for SCP-8565's visitors. This was clearly not a simple illusion, as per security protocols the facility was inspected using electronic equipment and visual devices and these registered the same as the observers' 5 senses, indicating a clear and real spatial distortion within SCP-8565's containment cell.

[[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box-end]]Excerpts of note:
Containment Cell Design:
1) Opaque and non-reflective materials: To prevent the entity from using reflections to alter the environment or see through hallways.
2) Cell without windows or visual openings: The ability to see the entity can be a trigger for its abilities.
3) Monitoring systems based on other sensors: Instead of cameras, pressure sensors, laser detectors, or audio recorders could be used to verify its presence and location.#2 Perception Restriction:
Visual Restriction: Prevent the contact from being seen directly or through optical devices, such as cameras. Non-visual sensors should be used for surveillance.
Auditory and Other Stimuli Restriction: Consider systems to mitigate other sensory stimuli that could be affected by illusions and perceptual distortion.
#5 Interaction Procedures and Personnel:
1) Strict Protocols: Restricted access and a minimum number of personnel would be required to interact with the entity to prevent its illusions from affecting untrained personnel.
2) Personnel Training: Personnel should be trained to recognize illusions and understand how to interact with the entity without activating or worsening its distortion abilities.
#6 Nature of the Euclid Class and Its Implications:
Unpredictability: The Euclid classification implies that the entity's behavior is not predictable with certainty, justifying the need for more complex containment procedures.
Incomplete Understanding: Without fully understanding the nature of its abilities or their origin, containment must be adaptable and prepared for the unexpected.
The entity is characterized by being a metamorphic/mimetic being and very deceptive, although it has not shown or attempted unmotivated hostile actions (unless provoked) and normally only appears curious or has an irresistible "instinct" to play pranks that only end in someone's humiliation. When in its docile state, it appears jovial and charismatic, with a touch of eccentricity and hospitality, behaving with education and refinement, taking its role as the "host" very seriously and trying as much as possible to make its guests feel comfortable in its room. It has a very curious way of speaking, as it consists of speaking eloquently while accompanying its dialogues with impeccable and captivating gesticulation.
Interviewer's Note: Although SCP-8565 claims to be of human origin, it has become abundantly clear that it no longer is (if he ever was). In fact, the space-time anomalies that led researchers to the entity and the immense psionic outburst detected by the research team provide very tangible evidence that whatever this entity truly is, it is highly dangerous, and its scope and limitations are still unknown.
Based on the experience of my first interaction with SCP-8565, I highly recommend taking these possible procedures and precautions whenever interviewing the entity:
Containment measures: Ensure the entity is adequately contained, perhaps with restraints or a controlled environment that limits the effect of its illusions.
Safety equipment: Staff should be equipped with technology to detect and counter illusions, as well as emergency medical equipment for staff.
Trained personnel: Interviewing an entity with these capabilities requires specialized personnel who understand psychology, behavior, and reality manipulation techniques.
The power extends across every form of dreaming — from the deepest unconscious visions to the drifting clouds of daydreams. The entity can intrude upon or fabricate lucid dreams, granting the dreamer awareness within the dream while still controlling the experience themselves or allowing shared agency. It can blur the line between lucidity and illusion, using it to awaken insight or induce confusion. Nightmares become tools or weapons — raw terror molded into psychological torment, punishment, or manipulation. The entity can amplify subconscious fears into overwhelming horror or guide the dreamer through their worst memories as a form of harsh therapy or cruel entertainment.
To this entity, sleep is not rest — it is opportunity. Dreams are not illusions — they are malleable worlds, reflections of truth wrapped in imagination, and they are the raw material of their oneiric power. Whether to offer enlightenment, comfort, chaos, or terror, it hold dominion over all states of dreaming — from the fleeting flicker of a daydream to the endless descent into nightmare. And those who sleep in their presence may never wake the same… if at all.
