The creation and manipulation of living organisms through anomalous means represents the most
immediate threat posed by Sarkicism.
Foot note 43: DNA analysis suggests that some Sarkic organisms have been created through
a process of artificial selection; breeding organisms, including humans, to the point
where they no longer resemble their ancestors.
Enough patterns have been discovered among these organisms that they can be divided into
different "species".
These organisms display no signs of fear or pain and regenerate injuries at an anomalous
rate.
Below is a partial list of such entities:
SK-BIO Type A Colloquially referred to as "behemoths" by
personnel.
These entities are commonly over 4 meters tall, weighing approximately 7,000 kg, with
pale, flabby skin.
Lacking visible eyes, ears, and noses - their faces dominated by a large toothy mouth.
The first recorded instance of an SK-BIO Type A was SCP-2480-2.
They appear to be of limited intelligence.
SK-BIO Type B
Generally 1.5 to 2 meters tall and weigh approximately 250 kg.
Mouths are vertical, running the length of what approximates a face; spindly fingers
end in 50 to 60 cm talons.
Bodies are partially protected by white, chitinous carapace - the flesh beneath dark red and
visible at movable joints.
SK-BIO Type Gamma
Also classified as SCP-2191-1.
SK-BIO Type Γ are considered genetically human but have undergone several significant,
seemingly fatal mutations.
SK-BIO Type Γ lack all major internal organs with the exception of the lungs, heart, and
brain stem.
The outer epidermis lacks pigmentation and displays a condition resembling cracked porcelain,
possibly related to Harlequin syndrome.
Entities appear androgynous, lacking or having somehow removed secondary sex characteristics.
Their regressed eyes are covered by a layer of skin, rendering them mostly blind but still
able to react to light (universally displaying aversion to wavelengths > 100 nm).
Further deviations from baseline homo sapiens include especially flat, upturned noses, and
funnel-shaped ears; both considered related to their dependency on olfactory and auditory
perception.
They do not appear to communicate via language, the only sound produced being a persistent
clicking of the tongue – speculated to be a form of echolocation.
SK-BIO Type Delta
Colloquially referred to as "snatchers" by personnel.
Prehensile organic structures, dark red in color and with a tentaculoid shape.
SK-BIO Type Δ are sedentary and are generally used by Sarkites to guard specific locations.
SK-BIO Type Ε
Known to Sarkites as a "Kiraak", instances of SK-BIO Type E are organic, biologically
living structures used as temples.
The Foundation presently has a deceased instance (SCP-2095) in containment but other, possibly
living instances are theorized to exist across the world.
Update: Living instances have been recently encountered by field agents; further information
is pending.
"The creation of a Kiraak is more terrible than initially hypothesized.
A living human is 'anointed' then repeatedly fed and shaped, its brain slowly atrophying
as it becomes a living temple.
The Sarkites cultivate flesh and bone as one might tend a bonsai tree."
- Dr. Tsukino
SK-BIO Type Ζ
Known to Sarkites as an "Akuloth" and "His Sacred White Worm", instances of SK-BIO Type
Z are symbiotic organisms found in the bodies of both Sarkites and Sarkic organisms.
It is believed that they act as a secondary immune system, protecting the host against
disease as well as greatly increasing their regenerative abilities.
SK-BIO Type Z is also believed to be connected to the physical transformations some Sarkites
undergo.
SK-BIO Type H
SK-BIO Type H may exist as or be composed of multiple 'species' and generally refers
to any SK-BIO Type that lacks a stable physical form (although this can occur in many, if
not all Sarkic organisms if critically injured).
Existing as a gelatinous mass, such organisms are able to increase their size (with no known
limit) by absorbing the biomass of those it encounters.
An individual can be converted into a SK-BIO Type H by ritual, as encountered when SCP-2075
caused the transfiguration and subsequent death of Dr. Albert Cronenberg.
