Item #: SCP-3437
Object Class: Thaumiel
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3437-1 is to be given Level-3 clearance to all Foundation assets. Under no circumstance are SCP-3437-1 and SCP-3437-2 to be separated except by the subject's own volition. SCP-3437-1 is given access to Foundation MTF weaponry deemed necessary to the current objective, as well as any arms in it's private collection.
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 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 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".
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 designated as Corporal Galen Arakisk, and is assigned to MTF Omega-7 (Pandora's Box).
