Item #: SCP-3437
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3437-1 is to be kept in an unlocked basic humanoid containment cell with accommodating furnishings. It is to be fed according to typical human dietary needs, with requests for variation in diet to be considered by the on-site researchers overseeing the containment of SCP-3437-1. SCP-3437-1 is allowed the use of a computer connected to the Foundation database with Level 3 clearance. SCP-3437 is allowed the requisition of one(1) item per month. This limit is subject to change based on the judgment of the on-site researchers overseeing the containment of SCP-3437-1. SCP-3437-1 is allowed to freely roam the site during daylight all hours unless otherwise specified, and is given Level 3 clearance to accommodate this allowance. SCP-3437-1 is not to be separated from SCP-3437-2 unless otherwise specified. SCP-3437-1 is authorized to use arms and armor similar to that of Foundation armed forces.
Description: SCP-3437 is an entity typically observed as a 17-year-old Caucasian male. It maintains this form through close proximity to, and the use of, SCP-3437-2. When SCP-3437-2 is deactivated either by increased distance from SCP-3437-1 or at the volition of SCP-3437-1, SCP-3437-1 reverts to its base state, observed as physically similar to a Barbary lion of relatively equal age, with the only differences being human-level intelligence and vocal capabilities, a relatively thin mane, and a pair of feathered wings extending from its back, directly above the front shoulders. These wings allow flight through anomalous means, as the lift generated by the wings would not normally be capable of lifting such a large amount of mass under normal circumstances. SCP-3437-1 is also capable of shifting its physical structure to any point between that of its human and lion iterations, occasionally taking the form of a bipedal humanoid with lion-like characteristics, with or without wings. SCP-3437-1 has been seen to possess a minor major ability to redirect thermal and kinetic energies, although this has been observed rarely, due to the general lack of necessity to utilize this ability as well as the significant amount of energy required. SCP-3437-1 typically prefers to be addressed by it's "given" name, Galen [REDACTED] Arakisk, although it is willing to be addressed with shorter titles such as: SCP-3437-1, Galen, Arakisk, Hollow, or "that damn lion who stole an entire [CENSORED] tree from my front yard" a few other titles when applicable.
SCP-3437-2 is a medallion composed of copper, tin, and several unidentified metallic compounds, typically worn around the neck of SCP-3437-1 on a nylon-titanium nanoweave chord. Use of SCP-3437-2 by SCP-3437-1 has been seen to produce small bursts of an unknown form of radiation, accompanied by a light-blue haze capable of illumination. SCP-3437-2's properties usually only extend to SCP-3437-1, but under some circumstances have been observed to be capable of negating certain anomalous properties in other sentient SCPs. Any items or clothing worn by SCP-3437-1 when SCP-3437-2 is activated are stored when said items and clothing might otherwise be lost or damaged from a form shift.
SCP-3437 is currently assigned to an operative transfer program directed at the recently established FPPA, an organization dominantly comprised of sentient nonhumans working in cooperation with the Foundation for containment of anomalous objects and phenomena in their areas of jurisdiction. It is currently designated as Corporal Galen Arakisk, and is given Level 3 clearance to Foundation assets.
Issued Operations Equipment: SCP-3437-2, one XM72 Special Applications Rifle/Kinetic (SAR/K) directed energy weapon with associated ammunitions, one XM70 Directed Hardlight Pistol with associated ammunitions, one S&W 686P with associated ammunitions, one hardlight knife, variable grenade bandolier and associated ordnance, and one XMK-3 Adaptive Battle Skin/Shielded modified to fit SCP-3437-1's winged anatomy.
