SCP Universe

SCP-106 appears to be an elderly humanoid, with a general appearance of advanced decomposition. This appearance may vary, but the “rotting” quality is observed in all forms.

SCP-106 exhibits a malevolent, sadistic personality driven by cruelty and predatory instincts. It displays high intelligence and cunning, patiently setting traps and hunting prey. The entity derives pleasure from psychological torture and physical suffering, showing psychopathic tendencies. It demonstrates tactical awareness, retreating when outmatched and striking when victims are vulnerable. SCP-106 shows particular interest in young targets, displaying "playful" behavior during hunts that involves extreme violence. It rarely communicates but when it does, it's mocking or threatening. The entity exhibits persistence in pursuing specific targets and remembers individuals across encounters. Despite its aged appearance, it shows no senility, maintaining sharp focus on causing harm. Its behavior suggests genuine enjoyment of suffering rather than mere predation.

SCP-106's origins are largely unknown and disputed within Foundation records. Some accounts suggest it was once a human who became anomalous through exposure to unknown forces during wartime, possibly WWI. Other theories propose it's an extradimensional entity that adopted a humanoid form. The entity shows knowledge of human behavior and psychology, suggesting past humanity. Its "pocket dimension" appears tailored for psychological torture, indicating deliberate malice rather than instinctual predation. However, Foundation researchers have been unable to verify any specific backstory, as SCP-106 rarely communicates and when it does, provides contradictory information. The truth of its origins remains classified as unknown, with multiple competing theories but no definitive evidence. What's certain is that it has existed in Foundation custody for decades, consistently displaying the same predatory and sadistic behaviors regardless of its true past.
