SCP-747 "Children and Dolls" Object Class: Euclid
Item #: SCP-747
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-747 are to be contained in a room exactly
thirty (30) metres by ten (10) metres, with walls consisting of concrete fifteen (15)
centimetres thick. All instances of SCP-747 are to be contained together in the same room.
In the occurrence SCP-747 shows interest in any personnel, Procedure SCP-747-B9 must be
performed immediately. Under no circumstances shall any unusual actions of SCP-747 go unreported
to personnel level 3 or higher.
SCP-747 is allowed a total of twenty-five (25) dolls, excluding any created under SCP-747's
influence. Any personnel that begin to show visible signs of SCP-747's influence are to
be contained separately in similar conditions. Should a containment breach occur, task force
747-B8 is to be alerted and proceed with recapture immediately. Only under extreme circumstances
are any personnel with clearance level three or higher to have any direct contact with
SCP-747.
Description: SCP-747 is a phenomenon involving the appearance of children in any manner of
animal masks. All instances of SCP-747 have been successfully identified as deceased children
of appearance congruent with the time of death, excluding the masks. The commonality of the
children, according to research, is that they all owned a doll precious to them at their
time of death. Currently in containment there are six (6) instances of SCP-747:
SCP-747-01 is a male, approximately seven (7) years of age, wearing a zebra mask and
a set of blue pajamas SCP-747-02 is a male, approximately twelve
(12) years of age, wearing a mouse mask and swimming trunks
SCP-747-03 is a female, approximately ten (10) years of age, wearing a pig mask and
an outfit typical of private schooling SCP-747-04 is a male, approximately fourteen
(14) years of age, wearing a rabbit mask and a winter coat
SCP-747-05 is a female, approximately twelve (12) years of age, wearing a giraffe mask
and a striped sari SCP-747-06 is a female, approximately five
(5) years of age, wearing a goat mask and a bright pink dress typical of a beauty pageant
SCP-747-07 is a male, approximately nine (9) years of age, wearing a cat mask and blue
overalls; SCP-747-07 was also recovered with a note which has since been separately stored
Foot note 1: Blue crayon written in neat cursive. Contains a short story involving a mother
looking for her son in an unspecified afterlife. It is notable that the mother of the entity
holding the note had died in childbirth. Investigations to its source are ongoing.
Each instance of SCP-747 cannot speak, nor do they seem to be aware of humans unless
taking particular interest in specific individuals. Mainly, SCP-747 shows interest in hand-made
dolls and each other. It is unknown if SCP-747 has sentience, though they appear to be aware
of their surroundings and will avoid walking into obstacles. SCP-747 is able to move through
obstacles no thicker than ten (10) centimeters with ease. SCP-747 is also semi-corporeal;
instances are able to lift and touch objects, but only for short periods of time before
they tire.
SCP-747 has the ability to transform humans into dolls over the course of approximately
twenty-one (21) days. To do this, instances of SCP-747 surround the human and hold hands
before walking around the human for a period of five (5) to seven (7) seconds. Afterwards,
SCP-747 disperses and continues normal behavior. It is unknown which humans they choose to
transform or why. SCP-747 occasionally shows interest in a person before attempting to
transform them. The person is able to interrupt the process by moving away or avoiding SCP-747;
however, most people describe a feeling of 'thoughtlessness' or 'blankness' when in contact
with SCP-747, thereby making the interruption difficult.
After interaction with SCP-747, there are no immediate symptoms. There is currently
no cure or treatment for the conversion process. Within fifteen (15) minutes, the target will
experience numbness of the tips of extremities, similar to that caused by cold. Afterwards,
over a period of approximately twenty-one (21) days, the symptoms will progressively
worsen. The process will accelerate under stress or panic to a minimum of ten (10) days.
The conversion has been divided roughly into three (3) stages, beginning from initial influence
to the transformation into a doll. If at any point a doll made from SCP-747's influence
is destroyed, SCP-747 will begin to show a greater interest in humans until another human
is 'targeted' for replacement.
Stages of Transformation in Detail
Stage 1: Loss of Minor Senses The targeted human loses the senses of smell,
hearing, and taste over a period of approximately seven (7) days. Their mental state appears
stable. Subject may display worry about condition. Any signs of mental instability at this stage
are signs of an accelerated transformation. SCP-747 will ignore the person as if they
were normal. The target's skin color and eye color will progressively change in appearance
to that of what they will become as a doll. Any personnel that show symptoms must be contained
according to the containment procedures listed until late stage two (2), in which the personnel
are to be moved to SCP-747's containment chamber.
Stage 2: Loss of Major Senses Subject begins to lose the final two senses
over a period of approximately thirteen (13) days. Their mental state will begin to destabilize
due to loss of the major senses, first touch and then sight. This degeneration of senses
is gradual, and victims have been found initiating in self-harm in attempts to feel something.
SCP-747 will begin showing interest in the person, from noticing their entrance into
their containment to actively attempting to follow and interact with the subject. Should
subject attempt suicide or die in this stage, SCP-747 will immediately seek a replacement
with any human. Once the targeted human loses all their senses, SCP-747 will immediately
show great interest with the body. The skin will become ragged, similar to textile in
both texture and appearance, and the subject's eyes will begin to harden into buttons. Dissections
have revealed that during this process the victim's organs will begin to convert into
stuffing of various materials, including but not limited to cotton and polyester. Through
the use of EEG it has been noted that the target is still conscious throughout this
process.
Stage 3: Full Transformation Subject transforms fully into a doll within
twenty-four (24) hours. At this point SCP-747 will treat them as any other doll. It is currently
theorized that the subject is no longer conscious or 'alive' in any sense. See Document 747-B4.
Dolls produced though SCP-747's influence are to be kept in SCP-747's containment room
and removed only for examination or repair.
