SCP-859

Item #: SCP-859

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-859 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell measuring 10 m x 8 m, furnished with a bed and washbasin. All interaction between SCP-859 and third parties is to be strictly monitored via remote cameras.

Only personnel with at least a month's experience in dealing with SCP-859 are permitted to enter SCP-859's containment cell.

Description: SCP-859 is a humanoid (Humanoid 1; SCPs-1-2-3-4) with no external signs of age. SCP-859 possesses a head and upper torso resembling those of an adult male (SCP-859-3). However, its arms and legs are far smaller than those of an adult male.

The anomalous part of SCP-859's anatomy is the legs, which have either one or three digits on their lower extremities. The number of digits may vary from one to five. Testing has shown that there is no correlation between the number of digits and the age of SCP-859. DNA testing shows that these limbs are artificial in origin, but it cannot be determined whether they are biological or nonbiological in nature.

SCP-859 claims to be a highly successful Royal Knight and claims to have "conquered" all areas on Earth during its career as a knight. It further states that it was appointed King by the Pope in 571 A.D., although it does not know why it was chosen. It maintains that the award was made on account of its exceptional military prowess, along with the fact that "only a single person had ever been able to defeat [it]".

Like most members of the species, SCP-859 has an excellent memory and an exceptionally high intellect, equalling those of high school graduates decades older than itself. SCP-859 does not appear to suffer any kind of mental disorder or discontinuity in its thought processes.

Actual contact with third parties has revealed that SCP-859 speaks nine languages fluently: French, German, Italian, Spanish, Latin, Romanian, Polish, Russian and English.

Addendum 859-1: SCP-859 claims to have conquered all of the known Earth. It further claims that it was appointed as a king by the Pope in 571 A.D., although it does not know why its name was chosen.
