SCP-966 have proved to be very agile and silent while stalking their victims. At this point, SCP-966 will proceed to consume it. It is still possible to induce other forms of unconsciousness, although these will usually prove detrimental to the affected subject as they do not provide true rest.Īfter depriving their victims of sleep, SCP-966 will stalk their prey until the lack of rest incapacitates it. The effective range of the ██████ waves is up to 20 meters however, tests show that they can be blocked by post-transition metals, particularly lead.Īll attempts to make victims of SCP-966 sleep have failed. Their hunting methods consist of emitting a single burst of a previously unknown type of wave (dubbed ██████ waves, in honor of the late Doctor ██████), which permanently inhibits the ability of the affected creature to enter any of the NREM and REM sleep stages.

SCP-966 feed on medium-to-large-sized animals, including humans. If their skin, muscles or organs have suffered from second to third-degree burns, the affected areas will be visible at wavelengths ranging from 360 to 900 nm. This applies to all of SCP-966's tissues. SCP-966 are visible only at wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to about 900 nm.

They do not seem to rest through sleep instead, they will suddenly cease all movement at seemingly random intervals of time, resuming normal activity three to five minutes later. Physically, SCP-966 are weak, possessing hollow bones and low muscular density. SCP-966's height ranges from 1.4 to 1.6 meters, and they can reach up to 30 kg in weight. Although sharp, these are easily broken, making them unfit for combat. On each hand, they have five claws that can be up to 20 cm long.

In the event of SCP-966-2 giving birth, the newborn specimen is to be studied and disposed of before it reaches maturity.ĭescription: SCP-966 are predatory creatures that resemble hairless, digitigrade humans, possessing an elongated face with a mouth lined with needle-like teeth. Each specimen of SCP-966 is to be fed with 20 kg of meat every month. Two security cameras with infrared filters and infrared-sensitive film are to be installed inside the room. The four specimens of SCP-966 (three males, designated SCP-966-1, SCP-966-3, and SCP-966-4, and one female, designated SCP-966-2) acquired by the Foundation must be contained in a 10 x 10 m room made of steel, lined with lead, located on Site-██. Special Containment Procedures: MTF Iota-1 'Dream Hunters' and MTF Iota-2 'Air Chasers' are to regularly be on the lookout for news about sudden, violent human deaths related to sleep deprivation, in order to find and neutralize remaining wild instances of SCP-966.
