**Item #:** SCP-XXXX
**Object Class:** Keter
**Special Containment Procedures:** SCP-XXXX (“Frosty” / “Winter’s Verdict”) cannot be fully contained with conventional methods. Containment focuses on observation, avoidance of provocation, and readiness for medical intervention in the event of SCP-XXXX-A infection.
Personnel must:
Maintain a 10-meter exclusion zone when Frosty is present
Never attempt to disarm, strike, or destroy Frosty
Record and submit all notes delivered by Frosty
Treat any knife cuts from Frosty as life-threatening exposure requiring immediate quarantine and monitoring
Frosty’s knife cannot be removed, destroyed, or neutralized. Attempts to do so will result in knife-inflicted SCP-XXXX-A.
**Description:** Frosty (“Winter’s Verdict”) is a 1.4 m tall plastic snowman resembling mass-produced lawn décor. Internal components, briefly visible when broken, include:
Compact motherboard of unknown manufacture
Partially anomalous wiring
Heat-resistant power source
Small locked torso compartment containing a single silver syringe
Frosty reconstitutes fully within 48–72 hours after destruction, typically near the destruction site.
It moves silently, is never vocal, and communicates only through handwritten notes, often accompanying Cure-XXXX-B.
Weapon Manifestation:
Frosty carries a plain kitchen knife, used only on individuals it judges “deserving”. Knife cuts are the sole method of SCP-XXXX-A transmission.
SCP-XXXX-A (Disease)
Transmission: Knife cuts only
Symptoms:
Inability to read clearly
Dizziness
Vomiting
Coughing blood
Hallucinations of Frosty pursuing the victim
Intense chills
Mild strep-throat–like symptoms
Progression to organ failure if untreated
Fatality: 7–10 days without Cure-XXXX-B
Cure-XXXX-B: Administered by Frosty via syringe and note. Recovery is instantaneous.
Sample Note:
“This will cure you. Take it soon, or else you die.”

Incident Log XXXX-H2 — The DeLuca Standoff Cure Event
Subject: Frosty / Winter’s Verdict
Officer: Sebastian DeLuca
Summary:
DeLuca was stalked, chased, and cut by Frosty’s knife over three consecutive nights. Two attempts to destroy Frosty failed. During a standoff with police:
Frosty stood motionless in the roadway
Officers issued commands; no response was observed
A syringe and note appeared on a cruiser hood
Note:
“This will cure you. Take it soon, or else you die.”
DeLuca injected himself; all SCP-XXXX-A symptoms resolved within 10 seconds. Frosty immediately disappeared.
Addendum XXXX-3 — Interviews
Interviewer: Dr. M. Hensley
Date: ██/██/20██
Location: Foundation Safe House, New York
<Begin Log>
Dr. Hensley: Officer DeLuca, can you describe your first encounter with the entity known as Frosty?
DeLuca: …It was just standing there, in the yard, like a normal snowman. But the next night… it was closer. Then the knife. I didn’t even see it move.
Dr. Hensley: You were cut?
DeLuca: Yeah. Just one slash across my arm. Felt like nothing at first, but then… the fever, the hallucinations… I thought I was dying.
Dr. Hensley: And the syringe?
DeLuca: It… appeared. On the hood of my cruiser. No words spoken. Just a folded note: “This will cure you. Take it soon, or else you die.” I injected it… and it was gone. All the sickness, gone, in seconds.
Dr. Hensley: Did you ever feel that Frosty was… judging you?
DeLuca: Yeah… it watches. It decides who’s “deserving.” I don’t know the rules, but it knows. Always knows. I feel it when it’s near. Sometimes I see it months later, standing somewhere, waiting.
Dr. Hensley: Have there been any other attacks since the standoff?
DeLuca: Knife cuts? No. But the presence… the watching… it never stops. Even if nothing happens, I feel it.
<End Log>
Notes: DeLuca demonstrates acute hypervigilance and signs of long-term subconscious imprinting from repeated exposure to Frosty. He shows full compliance with Foundation protocols.
Interview I2 — Officer Renee Hart:
Interviewer: Dr. M. Hensley
Date: ██/██/20██
Location: Foundation Observation Room, New York
<Begin Log>
Dr. Hensley: Officer Hart, can you describe your encounters with Frosty?
Hart: The first time I saw it, I thought someone put a lawn ornament in the road as a joke. It didn’t move… until I looked away. When we tried to approach, it… wasn’t where it had been.
Dr. Hensley: Did you see it attack anyone?
Hart: I saw DeLuca get cut. The knife… it appears suddenly. One second, nothing. Next second, he’s bleeding. I tried to intervene… it vanished.
Dr. Hensley: Did Frosty communicate in any way?
Hart: Only notes. Always notes. Usually after the attack, or when leaving the cure. One read: “Awareness is key.”
Dr. Hensley: Did you notice any patterns in its movement?
Hart: It’s undetectable when it moves. Only notice it when it wants to be seen. And it always seems to be watching… evaluating… judging.
<End Log>
Notes: Frosty demonstrates precise, unpredictable movement patterns, remaining undetected until deliberately observed. Hart expresses mild anxiety but shows high situational awareness.
Interview I3 — Civilian Witness:
Interviewer: Dr. M. Hensley
Date: ██/██/20██
Location: Civilian Residence, New York
<Begin Log>
Dr. Hensley: Can you describe what you saw?
Witness: It was just… a snowman. Out on the street. I walked past it, then turned… it was closer. Closer than I remembered. I swear it wasn’t moving when I first saw it.
Dr. Hensley: Did it attack you?
Witness: No… not me. But I could see it watching. Waiting. Like it was keeping track of people. And then… a note appeared. Just lying on the sidewalk. “Avoid unnecessary confrontation.”
Dr. Hensley: Did you feel threatened?
Witness: Absolutely. You can’t explain it… it’s a snowman, but it’s… alive. Judging. Watching. I moved away, and it stayed there.
Dr. Hensley: Did you ever see it again?
Witness: A few times. Always the same. Motionless… until I looked away. Then gone, closer than before.
<End Log>
Notes: Frosty exhibits persistent long-term surveillance, but refrains from aggression toward non-targets. Witness reports heightened fear and anxiety consistent with SCP-XXXX observation exposure.
Evaluator: Dr. M. Hensley
Findings:
Acute stress reaction during infection
Hypervigilance and adaptive coping
Subconscious memory imprinting of Frosty’s movement patterns
Perception of entity as judging, reinforced by knife-inflicted wounds
Conclusion: No lasting trauma; demonstrates high compliance with directives
Addendum XXXX-5 — Analysis of Judgment
Targets individuals it deems “undeserving”
Knife cuts indicate judgment; attacks are selective
Cure-XXXX-B only for compliant or “deserving” individuals
Silent, instantaneous, deterministic evaluation of behavior
Capable of long-term surveillance without detection
Recommendations: avoid provocation; record notes; study judgment triggers
Addendum XXXX-6 — Reappearance Logs Near DeLuca
Time After Standoff Location Observed Behavior Note Left
T+7 Days Backyard Motionless near tree “You are being watched. Do not provoke.”
T+3 Weeks Sidewalk Mid-roadway “Awareness is key.”
T+6 Weeks Residential street Outside neighbor’s mailbox “Avoid unnecessary confrontation.”
T+2 Months Alley Motionless None
T+3.5 Months Training grounds Motionless “Your choices matter.”
T+5 Months Grocery store Streetlight “Still watching.”
Patterns:
Sporadic intervals (days to months)

Addendum XXXX-7 — Owner Inquiry
Subject: Mr. Thomas W. Kessler
Relation to SCP-XXXX: Descendant of the original purchaser (Harold W. Kessler)
Background:
Mr. Kessler has approached local authorities and Foundation personnel multiple times in the past year asking about a “missing” or “strange” snowman he believes belonged to his grandfather. He is unaware that SCP-XXXX is anomalous or Keter-class.
Documented Interactions:
Date: ██/██/20██
Location: Local police precinct
Report: Mr. Kessler claims his grandfather’s snowman “disappeared” from the yard and asks if anyone has information about it.
Observation: SCP-XXXX was sighted nearby but remained motionless; no interaction occurred.
Date: ██/██/20██
Location: Private property near previous sighting
Report: Mr. Kessler again inquires about the snowman; leaves handwritten note for unknown recipient asking “Have you seen my grandfather’s snowman?”
Observation: SCP-XXXX manifested a note at the location: “You are watched. Observe carefully.” No syringe or attack occurred.
Date: ██/██/20██
Location: Street near Officer DeLuca’s residence
Report: Mr. Kessler attempts to follow what he believes is “his snowman” on the street; Foundation intervenes.
Observation: Frosty reappeared silently nearby, did not interact physically, left no note.
Analysis:
Mr. Kessler appears to trigger Frosty’s attention, but no attacks or disease transmission have occurred.
Frosty’s behavioral patterns suggest it monitors descendants or those inquiring about its original ownership, though no harm is inflicted unless deemed “deserving.”
Continued monitoring of Mr. Kessler is advised to study Frosty’s judgment patterns.
Notes:
Mr. Kessler should be considered a non-threat subject.
All communications between Frosty and the subject are strictly through notes, with no verbal interaction.
