Background

SCP-4666, colloquially known as "The Yule Man," is an extremely dangerous humanoid entity of unknown origin that has been active for potentially thousands of years. Evidence suggests SCP-4666 has been conducting its ritualistic killings since at least the 2nd century AD in Europe and Russia, and possibly as early as the 1st century BC in Scandinavia. The entity became officially recognized by the Foundation in 1974 through their Anomalous Signature Recognition Program, which identified a pattern of similar home invasion incidents resulting in family deaths occurring throughout the Northern Hemisphere during the night of January 1-2. Subsequent research uncovered evidence of "Weissnacht Events" (SCP-4666's characteristic activity pattern) dating back centuries, with an average of 3.1 documented events per year.

SCP-4666 targets isolated rural families with children under the age of 8, subjecting them to a 12-night period of escalating phenomena culminating in either the brutal murder of the family and abduction of a child, or the delivery of grotesque "gifts" made from the remains of previously abducted children. The entity maintains an underground facility where abducted children are forced to create these macabre toys under threat of torture, cannibalism, or being turned into toys themselves.
