 Item number SCP-1247 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures In the event of a containment breach, SCP-1247 is to be treated as a physically normal, untrained human hostile. Personnel are warned that SCP-1247 is psychologically unstable and cannot distinguish between organisms. Use of lethal force to detain SCP-1247 is not authorized. SCP-1247 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell. Standard humanoid SCP containment procedures apply. The cell must be proof against penetration by vermin and insects. No personnel may make physical contact with SCP-1247 unless they fit the following physical specifications. Anatomically male, height within 5 cm of 176 cm, weight within 10 kg of 74 kg, anatomically standard number and positioning of limbs, digits and appendages, ears, nose, etc. Full specifications must be verified before physical contact with SCP-1247 can be authorized. Specifications may be waived during relevant testing. SCP-1247 is currently undergoing a process of psychological rehabilitation. To assist in this process, all personnel entering its quarters must wear face obscuring masks and must not wear any clothing items or accessories made of or incorporating leather. SCP-1247 is required to attend bi-weekly therapy sessions with Dr. Zeng from 3pm on Tuesdays and Fridays. Session lengths should not exceed one hour, but reasonable exceptions may be made at the discretion of Dr. Zeng. Dr. Zeng is required to wear a mask and must maintain a distance of one meter from SCP-1247 for the duration of all sessions. Dr. Zeng has emphasized that the comfort and safety of SCP-1247 is paramount, and armed security agent must be present in the room for the duration of all sessions. To ensure psychological stability of SCP-1247, meals provided must not contain meat. SCP-1247 has requested that no mirrors be brought into its cell. Description SCP-1247 is a 37-year-old human male, formerly ██ of ██ United States of America. SCP-1247 is biologically normal on almost all accounts, however testing has revealed some atypical brain activity. Significantly, radiology has revealed the absence of substantial areas of the cerebrum, which appears to have been displaced by the presence of foreign biological matter from an unidentified living organism. This organism has been tentatively classified as a variety of fungus and bear superficial resemblance to mushrooms of the genus Morkella, but has yet to be conclusively matched to any recognized terrestrial species. There are currently no plans to remove this organism from SCP-1247. SCP-1247 exhibits three anomalous effects. The primary anomalous effect exhibited by SCP-1247 is psychological, and is observable only to SCP-1247 itself. When SCP-1247 is able to observe a live animal, dead animal, or part of an animal, it perceives that animal is American film and television actor Shia LaBeouf. This perceptual effect extends to all of SCP-1247's senses. Regardless of the actual size or shape of the animal, SCP-1247 perceives a life-sized instance of Shia LaBeouf. Testing has determined that the body position and movement of Shia LaBeouf instances mirror the actual position and movement of the animal as closely as possible without requiring a restructuring of Shia LaBeouf's actual anatomy. For example, an ant perceived by SCP-1247 would take the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf scuttling in an ant-like way, but would be limited in its accuracy by Shia LaBeouf's lack of a thorax, third pair of legs, and other anatomical features possessed by a true ant. Despite this imperfect mimicry, SCP-1247 claims that Shia LaBeouf instances can perform the same physical feature as the animals they replace, even when this would be physically impossible for the actual Shia LaBeouf. For example, a horse perceived by SCP-1247 took the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf galloping on all fours at the speed of the actual horse, while a bird perceived by SCP-1247 took the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf flying through the air by flapping its arms. If SCP-1247 observes an animal that would typically lack the anatomical features of Shia LaBeouf, it perceives a normal Shia LaBeouf instance regardless. For example, a worm perceived by SCP-1247 took the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf lying on the ground with its arms and legs present but seemingly paralyzed. If SCP-1247 observes a live or dead animal that is missing an anatomical feature or observes part of an animal, it perceives a full anatomically complete Shia LaBeouf instance. For example, a cooked chicken wing perceived by SCP-1247 took the apparent form of Shia LaBeouf with one arm bent into a shape approximating that of the cooked chicken wing. The instance of Shia LaBeouf perceived by SCP-1247 in this test was dead, like the chicken wing, but was whole and uncooked. Testing has determined that instances of Shia LaBeouf perceived by SCP-1247 reliably match the current physical condition and appearance of the actual Shia LaBeouf. However, when SCP-1247 views parts of animals or dead animals that perceive instances like the presence of life despite the continued life of the actual Shia LaBeouf. The secondary anomalous effect exhibited by SCP-1247 is physical and may be observed by others. When SCP-1247 interacts physically with a live animal, dead animal, or part of an animal, it interacts with the animal as if it was Shia LaBeouf. This anomalous effect impacts on size, weight, and anatomy of the animal as it is interacted with by SCP-1247. For example, in one test, SCP-1247 was asked to drag a Shia LaBeouf instance by its arm. Unbeknownst to SCP-1247, the Shia LaBeouf instance was actually a worm, although the worm possessed no arms, SCP-1247 was seemingly able to grab hold of an invisible arm and accomplished a task with some difficulty. The test was repeated, with the worm test subject replaced first by a human, then a cow, and then a chicken filet. All tests had the same result. SCP-1247 reported the weight of all four test subjects was identical. Weighing later showed that this was not the case. All four test subjects had weight appropriate to the true forms, even whilst held by SCP-1247. In a later test, SCP-1247 was asked to sever an arm from an instance of Shia LaBeouf. This Shia LaBeouf instance was also a worm, and had no arm or arm equivalent. Regardless, SCP-1247 reported the successfully severing of an arm. SCP-1247 was asked to describe the perceived arm, but reported neither arm nor one arm Shia LaBeouf, but rather two whole, dead Shia LaBeoufs, one of which then disappeared. The exception to both of these anomalous effects involves a live animal, dead animal, or part of an animal that is located inside of SCP-1247. When this occurs, the animal will proceed as it would be by normal human, and physically interacted with as such. Neither SCP-1247's primary nor secondary anomalous effects extend to photographs, recordings, live video, or other non-physical, non-biological forms or depictions of animals. However, SCP-1247's primary anomalous effect does extend to any animals observed in a reflection or through a lens. Neither SCP-1247's primary nor secondary effects extend to animal byproducts, or to organisms that are not part of the Kingdom Animalia. SCP-1247's anomalous effects have not yet been tested on a cellular level. The tertiary effect exhibited by SCP-1247 is psychological, and is observable only to SCP-1247 itself. SCP-1247 is incapable of viewing specimens of any species of moral mushroom, genus Morkella. This effect extends to live, partial, and dead specimens of moral mushroom, as well as all non-physical, non-biological representations of moral mushroom where it can be reasonably identified as such. This effect does not extend to textual descriptions of moral mushrooms. This effect does not extend to any of SCP-1247's other senses. There is no corresponding physical effect. Note, for a more in-depth study of SCP-1247's three anomalous effects, personnel may refer to Experiment Log SCP-1247. The manner in which SCP-1247 is able to exhibit these anomalous effects is unknown. According to SCP-1247, none of these effects were manifest before the year 20 █████. In April of that year, SCP-1247 purchased and viewed a videotape recording of the film, Holes, starring Shia LaBeouf. Approximately 30 minutes into viewing the movie, SCP-1247 was struck by a violent pain in the front of his head, and blacked out for a period of time. It estimates to be less than 10 seconds. Upon awakening, SCP-1247 resumed watching the film, and then went to sleep. At this stage, no anomalous effects have been observed. The next day, SCP-1247 exited his room, and observed what it perceived to be Shia LaBeouf naked and digging through its garbage. Based on its reported behavior, researchers have determined that the supposed Shia LaBeouf was most likely a raccoon. This incident marks the first exhibition of SCP-1247's primary anomalous effect. Following this incident, SCP-1247 alerted police to what it believed to be the actual Shia LaBeouf behaving under the influence of narcotics. SCP-1247 then took shelter within its home. When the police arrived, SCP-1247 exited the house, only to discover that both of the officer's present were Shia LaBeouf. SCP-1247's recount of the following events is confused due to the trauma endured by SCP-1247, and SCP-1247's obvious perceptual disability. Researchers have determined the most likely sequence of events is that SCP-1247 fled the officers, encountered a flock of pigeons on the way to its car, and attempted to drive away. The presence of an insect believed to be a blowfly, and SCP-1247's vehicle led to a panic attack and subsequent crash. SCP-1247 attempted to physically assault the blowfly. This incident marks the first exhibition of SCP-1247's secondary anomalous effect. Following the altercation, SCP-1247 fled the car, and later the town of ███████ itself. SCP-1247 took up residence in an abandoned cabin in the forest north of █████. At this stage, SCP-1247 believes that the instances of Shia LaBeouf were some sort of demonic beings. SCP-1247 remained in the cabin for ████ years, subsisting from water gathered from a rainwater tank, and by eating grasses, berries, occasional scabbard food, and the flesh of Shia LaBeouf instances that hunted in the forest. Attempts by SCP-1247 to cut, cook, or otherwise prepare its meat resulted in the same perceived outcome. Whole, uncooked instances of Shia LaBeouf. For this reason, SCP-1247 took the biting chunks out of the Shia LaBeouf instances. The true nature of SCP-1247's meals was revealed to it only once the bite had been taken. It is believed that this uncertainty, combined with the psychological trauma of having to frequently devour, would appear to be human bodies, as well as the constant trauma of being surrounded by supposedly demonic Shia LaBeoufs led to an eventual psychological breakdown. SCP-1247 was recovered from its cabin outside of ████, following a police investigation of a recent homicide and cannibalism case, thought to be related to the spate of animal slaying and mutilations around the area. After being taken into police custody, SCP-1247 attempted to explain its primary anomalous effect. Although police dismisses the effect of simple hallucination, it caught the attention of embedded Foundation personnel. An agent ████ was dispatched to investigate further and took SCP-1247 in the Foundation custody after witnessing a display of its secondary anomalous effect. SCP-1247's copy of holes has been recovered. Testing has determined no anomalous effects. SCP-1247 has expressed its interest in the second viewing.

Perceed Result Scalpel passes through Shia LaBeouf with no apparent effect. Upon complete division of stake, Shia LaBeouf instantly replaced by two anatomically standarded Shia LaBeoufs. Experiment SCP-1247-E1-C-06 Stimulus Stake divided into 20 small pieces, pieces arranged in disorganized pile. Perceed Result Single Anatomically Standarded Shia LaBeouf Researchers theorize that this Shia LaBeouf is SCP-1247's perception of the piece of stake most clearly in its line of sight, and that this perceived Shia LaBeouf blocks SCP-1247's view of the other pieces, preventing perception of additional Shia LaBeoufs. Experiment SCP-1247-E1-C-07 Stimulus Mints created from beef steak and mixture of meat from nine unique sources. Perceed Result Single Anatomically Standarded Shia LaBeouf Experiment SCP-1247-E1-C-08 Stimulus Slurry created from mints presented in Petri dish.

Experiment SCP-1247-E1-D Purpose To determine whether SCP-1247's primary effect is psychological or truly affects senses, researcher Dr. Chen. Experiment SCP-1247-E1-D-01 Stimulus Horse stands with front legs on one mark, back legs on a second mark. Perceed Result Shia LaBeouf standing equidistant from each mark. Experiment SCP-1247-E1-D-02 Stimulus Message board placed on wall behind horse, such as the horse's rear obscures the message from SCP-1247's line of sight. Perceed Result SCP-1247 is able to read the message as the anatomy of the perceived Shia LaBeouf is insufficient to obscure it. Experiment SCP-1247-E1-D-03 Stimulus Low-intensity laser aimed at eye of SCP-1247, path of laser then blocked by horse's rear. Laser activated. Perceed Result SCP-1247 reacts to laser. Research believed that laser is successfully blocked by horse. Experiment SCP-1247-E1-E Purpose To examine SCP-1247's primary effect in relation to animals passing from direct line of sight and to investigate the hypothesis outlined at Experiment SCP-1247-E1-C06 Researcher Dr. Chen Experiment SCP-1247-E1-E-01 Stimulus Anatomically Standard Ant Experiment X's SCP-1247's line of sight.

Perceed Result Shia LaBeouf pressed against the exterior of container. Shia LaBeouf mimics the movement of the ant within the container, but remains affects to the container. Experiment SCP-1247-E1-E03 Stimulus Swarm of 20 anatomically standard blow flies. Perceed Result SCP-1247 exhibits signs of heightened distress. Test temporarily suspended, and SCP-1247 removed from testing area. SCP-1247 later reports having seen an inconsistent number of Shia LaBeoufs flying through the air, appearing and disappearing instantaneously and at random. SCP-1247 stresses the leering eyes and slurping mouths of each Shia LaBeouf. Experiment SCP-1247-E1-F Purpose To examine SCP-1247's primary effect in relation to photographs of animals. Researcher Dr. Chen Experiment SCP-1247-E1-F01 Stimulus Photograph a human test subject D-2474 Perceed Result SCP-1247 accurately perceives photograph. SCP-1247 exhibits strong positive-emotional reaction. Secondary Effect Testing Experiment SCP-1247-E2-A Purpose To examine SCP-1247's secondary effect in relation to anatomy. Researcher Dr. Chen Experiment SCP-1247-E2-A01 Subject Anatomically Standard Worm Test SCP-1247 instructed to drag Shia LaBeouf across the room by its arm. Result SCP-1247 appears to take hold of an invisible arm located nearby the worm. The worm instantaneously moves, snapping into position in SCP-1247's hand. SCP-1247 appears to mime dragging a body across the room. The task is accomplished with moderate difficulty. Experiment SCP-1247-E2-A02-0304 Experiment SCP-1247-E2-A01 repeated, with the test subject replaced first by a human, then a cow, and then a chicken filet. All tests had the same result. SCP-1247 reported the weight of all four test subjects was identical. Experiment SCP-1247-E2-B Purpose To examine SCP-1247's secondary effect in relation to weight. Researcher Dr. Chen Experiment SCP-1247-E2-B01-0305-07 Subjects Common Earthworm Human Cow Chicken Filet Tests SCP-1247 instructed to hold each test subject in a fireman's carry. Result Even where the anatomy of the test subject would make this difficult or impossible, SCP-1247 accomplished a task with the same level of moderate difficulty. If SCP-1247 reported the weight of all four test subjects was identical. Experiment SCP-1247-E2-B02-04-06-08 Subjects Common Earthworm Human Cow Chicken Filet Tests SCP-1247 instructed the whole test subject, then stepped onto scales. Result Weight of SCP-1247 82.409 kg Weight of Worm SCP-1247-E2-B02-03-07 Subjects Common Earthworm Total Weight 82.410 kg Weight of Human 72.020 kg Total Weight 154.429 kg Weight of Cow 640.500 kg Total Weight 722.909 kg Weight of Chicken Filet 0.350 kg Total Weight 82.001 kg Total Weight 82.410 kg Weight of Human 72.020 kg Total Weight 154.429 kg Weight of Cow 82.759 kg Experiment SCP-1247-E2-C Purpose To examine SCP-1247's secondary effect when applied indirectly. Researcher Dr. Chin Experiment SCP-1247-E2-C01 Subject Chicken Filet Task SCP-1247 asked to place a mask over Shia LaBuff's face without making direct contact. Result SCP-1247 was able to accomplish his task. After SCP-1247 released a mask, it remained in place mid-air above the Chicken Filet. When SCP-1247 entered observation, its second anomalous effect ceased to affect the Chicken Filet and the mask fell to the floor. Experiment SCP-1247-E2-C02 Stimulus A soft projectile was launched towards SCP-1247 such that it would be blocked by a horse's rear but not by a perceived Shia LaBuff. Result The projectile was blocked by the rear. SCP-1247 reports seeing Shia LaBuff snapping in position to block the projectile at the point of impact. Experiment SCP-1247-E2-C03 Stimulus Two soft projectiles were launched simultaneously, such that one would be blocked by a horse's rear and the other by the same horse's neck, but neither would be blocked by a perceived Shia LaBuff. Result Similar result to previous experiment. Shia LaBuff reported moved Nyan instantaneously to block each projectile. Experiment SCP-1247-E2-C04 Stimulus A wide spray of water was fired from my hose such that it would be mostly blocked by the body of a horse but not be blocked by a perceived Shia LaBuff. Result Shia LaBuff remained in place while the spray of water was blocked by an invisible barrier in the shape of a horse. Tertiary Effect Testing Experiment SCP-1247-E3-A Purpose To establish a basic understanding of SCP-1247's tertiary effect. Researcher Dr. Zhang, Dr. Chen Discovery Tertiary Effect SCP-1247's tertiary effect was discovered during a routine therapy session. SCP-1247 was shown a series of flashcards, printed with images of various animals and non-animal organisms. When shown an image of a moral mushroom, SCP-1247 proceeded to blank card. Experiment SCP-1247-E3-A01 Stimulus Live moral mushroom Proceed result SCP-1247 is unable to proceed to stimulus. Experiment SCP-1247-E3-A02 Stimulus Live moral mushroom Researchers divide the mushroom in half with a scalpel. Proceed result SCP-1247 is unable to proceed to stimulus. SCP-1247 appears uncomfortable and reports a minor headache. Experiment SCP-1247-E3-A03 Stimulus Live moral mushroom Researchers attempt to ignite the mushroom. Proceed result SCP-1247 exhibits great distress, screams. The mushroom is propelled away from the researcher by an unseen force. SCP-1247 loses consciousness and falls to the ground, hitting its head against a wall. SCP-1247 removed from testing room and scheduled for an MRI CT scan. Results of MRI CT scan SCP-1247 is un-injured, however, results of spectrometry revealed that the foreign fungal entity appears to have extended further than the SCP-1247's brain. The fungal entity now occupies over ██% of SCP-1247's brain. Testing of SCP-1247's tertiary effect has been indefinitely suspended. SCP-1247 is now required to wear a padded crash helmet at all times.
