⚠ MANDATE
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD ANY PERSONNEL ENTER THE CONTAINMENT CHAMBER OF SCP-096, EXCEPT DURING DESIGNATED TESTING PHASE.

SCP-096 manifests as a humanoid entity, standing at approximately 2.38 meters in height. The subject displays minimal muscle mass, and initial body mass assessment implies mild malnutrition. Its arms notably possess disproportionate lengths of about 1.5 meters each. Skin lacks pigmentation and body hair.

Ordinarily placid, SCP-096's cell pressure sensors indicate frequent pacing along the eastern wall. Yet, upon direct face viewing, whether in person, via recording, or photograph, it enters a state of pronounced emotional distress. The entity shields its face, engaging in behaviors such as screaming, crying, and incoherent babbling. Roughly one (1) to two (2) minutes following the initial sighting, SCP-096 initiates a pursuit towards the individual who viewed its countenance, herein designated SCP-096-1.
