SCP-556-GOM

Item #: SCP-556-GOM "Tentacle Monster"

Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-556 is contained in a locked room, at all times there are two armed guards outside the containment room, and SCP-556 is to be suppressed with stun bombs if it ever breached containment.

Personnel affected by SCP-556 must be taken into psychiatric evaluation, and then SCP-556-2 must be injected into their brain. For safety, all personnel entering SCP-556's containment room must wear full metal suit for protecting SCP-556's tentacles into body.

Description: SCP-556-GOM is a mass of sapient inhuman flesh which weights about approximately 5 killograms. From sample inspections, the mass seems to be composed of an unknown extraterrestial material, presumbly the alien's flesh.

SCP-556 has several tentacles attached onto it, which are also made from the same extraterrestial material. It has a hole on the point which it presumably uses to consume "knowledge" from any sapient entities. There are estimated to be 200 tentacles in total.

SCP-556 is normall docile when no sapient entities are present, but it will sometimes rub against the wall in its containment cell. When an entity with sapient mind is present, SCP-556 will become "active." In which it will use its tentacles, often one or more, to suck the "knowledge" into its sapient brain. During this process, it will appear to consume the victim into the mass of SCP-556, and will regress the subject mind that they will become vegetative, effectively brainwashing them.

Recovery of subject affected by SCP-556 is possible, the liquid (SCP-556-2) must be injected out of SCP-556's piece of flesh. SCP-556-2 is a liquid of varying density and varies in color. It is not viscous, and it appears to not combine but stack on each other. Injecting the correct SCP-556-2 to the correct victim will restore their entire memory, making the person normal again.

Addendum: SCP-556 was recovered near Site-18-GOM's door, in which about five personnel has suppressed it with stun guns, and it was contained in a temporary containment room. However, as the containment is ongoing, SCP-556 has affected three personnel, one turned vegetative. The two other personnel successfully recovered and is currently ongoing psychiatric evaluation.
