Item #: SCP-4945

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: As containment of SCP-4945 is no longer possible; efforts should now be focused on containing SCP-4945-1 within a Euclid-class, high security humanoid containment chamber. This chamber is outfitted with a one-way observation window and a ventilation system.

Description: SCP-4945-A is the designation given to a Noh mask¹. SCP-4945 is made out of cypress wood, and is painted in the semblance of a woman. SCP-4945 possess a cognitohazardous effect; sapient entities perceive SCP-4945 moving its "mouth" at them with the same effect extending to all forms of visual media² This effect has shown to cause physical unease and paranoia within individuals that view SCP-4945 and describe SCP-4945 as "whispering" to them.

SCP-4945-1 is the designation given to Dr. Allan Argus³, former research personnel in charge of SCP-4945.

SCP-4945-1 is a tall humanoid (roughly 3m in height) entity covered in tumorous growths that permeate from within SCP-4945 that it wears. SCP-4945-1's features are grossly emaciated with the flesh of SCP-4945-1's forearms are removed; exposing the muscle tissue and the distal phalanges, with the flesh and the surrounding tumorous growths around SCP-4945, burning to the point that the skin will fuse together along with it.

The temperature across SCP-4945-1's face is very high (around 750K - 800K). This causes the skin and flesh around SCP-4945-1 to be in a constant state of burning and peeling while simultaneously healing itself. This has caused smoke to emit from around SCP-4945-1's upper torso, except for SCP-4945 itself.
