SCP-096

“	That’s the most disturbing part of this whole incident. You know when the former SCP-096-1 went on his mountain trip? 199█. That’s ██ years of that photo hanging there before he saw SCP-096. Since the brain doesn’t need to be aware that it is viewing SCP-096’s face to trigger the reaction, there can be ticking time bombs hidden literally anywhere in the world. How many photographs are out there containing SCP-096, just going unnoticed, waiting for a careful eye? As I said before, I want this thing terminated. Now.	„

Background

SCP-096 is a humanoid creature within the SCP Foundation. It is normally extremely docile though when someone looks at its face whether it be directly, through video, or a photograph, it will enter an emotional distress state and cover its face and hands to start screaming and crying. They will run to the person who viewed their face and will kill them, leaving no trace left of them.

Personality

• Normally Docile: Without anyone looking at SCP-096's face, they are normally very docile, with pressure sensors inside its cell indicating it spends most of the day pacing by the eastern wall.

Other

Standard Tactics: SCP-096 is normally docile, otherwise it will attack if someone has seen its face through direct contact, video recording, or even photographs.

Weaknesses: Once it's done killing SCP-096-1, it returns to its docile state where one can easily subdue it. Putting a bag over its head will make it not be able to trigger the hostile reaction for direct contact. SCP-096 will give up on its kill and turn away from the person if the person will not die or is too hard to kill.
