Overview

SCP-303, also known as "The Doorman," is a Euclid-class anomaly that appears as a tall, emaciated figure with elongated limbs and a featureless face. It is capable of teleporting short distances and is often found lurking near doorways, hence its nickname. SCP-783, on the other hand, is a Keter-class entity that manifests as a large, gelatinous mass with numerous eyes and mouths. It is highly aggressive and has the ability to consume anything in its path.

Physical Attributes

SCP-303's physical appearance is unsettling to those who encounter it, with its elongated limbs and lack of facial features causing feelings of unease and fear. It is often described as appearing skeletal and inhuman, adding to its eerie presence. In contrast, SCP-783's gelatinous form is constantly shifting and changing, with eyes and mouths appearing and disappearing at random intervals. Its size and amorphous nature make it difficult to contain and predict its movements.

Behavior

SCP-303 is known to teleport short distances, often appearing near doorways or entrances. It seems to have a fascination with doors and will attempt to block or manipulate them to prevent individuals from entering or exiting. The entity is not inherently hostile, but its actions can be disruptive and unsettling. SCP-783, on the other hand, is extremely aggressive and will actively seek out living beings to consume. It shows no signs of intelligence or reasoning, acting purely on instinct to feed and grow.

Containment Procedures

Containment of SCP-303 involves monitoring doorways and entrances for any signs of the entity's presence. Security personnel are instructed to report any sightings or disturbances caused by SCP-303 and to prevent unauthorized access to affected areas. Special care must be taken to ensure that the entity does not escape containment through teleportation. In contrast, SCP-783 is contained within a reinforced steel chamber lined with acid-resistant materials. Regular checks are conducted to ensure the integrity of the containment chamber and to monitor the entity's activity levels.

Effects on Personnel

Encounters with SCP-303 have been known to cause feelings of paranoia, anxiety, and dread in individuals who come into contact with it. The entity's ability to manipulate doors and teleport can create a sense of unease and confusion, leading to psychological distress. In contrast, exposure to SCP-783's aggressive and consuming nature can result in extreme fear and panic. The entity's relentless pursuit of prey and its ability to consume anything in its path can have a profound impact on the mental well-being of those who encounter it.

Research and Study

Research into SCP-303 has focused on understanding the entity's teleportation abilities and its fascination with doors. Efforts have been made to map out its teleportation patterns and to develop strategies for predicting its movements. In contrast, studies on SCP-783 have centered around its biology and feeding habits. Researchers have attempted to analyze the entity's composition and determine the source of its voracious appetite. Both anomalies present unique challenges and opportunities for further study within the Foundation.
