Physical Attributes

SCP-956, also known as "The Child-Breaker," is a humanoid entity measuring approximately 2 meters in height. It possesses elongated limbs and sharp claws, which it uses to break the bones of its victims. SCP-956's skin is described as being pale and leathery, with a texture similar to that of a reptile. In contrast, SCP-966, also known as "Sleep Killer," is a species of nocturnal creatures resembling hairless, digitigrade quadrupeds. They have a skeletal structure that allows them to move silently and quickly, making them difficult to detect.

Behavior

SCP-956 is known for its aggressive and violent behavior towards children, often targeting them in playgrounds or schools. It has been observed to lure its victims by mimicking the voice of a child in distress, only to attack them once they are within reach. SCP-956 has also been known to exhibit sadistic tendencies, taking pleasure in the suffering of its victims. On the other hand, SCP-966 is a more passive predator, relying on stealth and coordination to hunt its prey. They are known to attack sleeping humans by inflicting wounds with their sharp claws, causing severe blood loss.

Abilities

SCP-956 possesses the ability to mimic the voice of a child, which it uses to lure its victims into its grasp. This ability allows it to manipulate its prey and create a false sense of security before launching its attack. Additionally, SCP-956 has been observed to have enhanced strength and agility, allowing it to overpower its victims with ease. In contrast, SCP-966's main ability lies in its ability to move silently and undetected, making it a formidable predator in dark environments. They are known to coordinate their attacks, surrounding their prey and overwhelming them with their numbers.

Containment Procedures

SCP-956 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell, equipped with soundproofing materials to prevent it from using its mimicry ability. Personnel interacting with SCP-956 are advised to wear noise-canceling headphones to avoid being lured by its voice. Additionally, SCP-956 is to be provided with a diet of raw meat to sustain its nutritional needs. On the other hand, SCP-966 is to be contained in a secure containment chamber with low light levels to mimic its natural habitat. Personnel entering SCP-966's containment area are required to wear night vision goggles to detect their presence and avoid being ambushed.

Research and Experimentation

Research on SCP-956 has focused on understanding its mimicry ability and the psychological effects it has on its victims. Experimentation has been conducted to determine the range and effectiveness of its voice mimicry, as well as the potential for countermeasures to prevent its use. In contrast, research on SCP-966 has focused on studying their hunting behavior and social structure. Experiments have been conducted to observe their communication methods and hunting strategies, as well as the effects of different lighting conditions on their behavior.

Interaction with Other SCPs

SCP-956 has been known to interact with other humanoid SCPs, often engaging in violent confrontations or forming alliances for mutual benefit. Its aggressive nature and sadistic tendencies make it a dangerous entity to be contained alongside other SCPs. On the other hand, SCP-966 has been observed to avoid interaction with other SCPs, preferring to hunt and feed on unsuspecting humans. Their stealthy nature and nocturnal habits make them less likely to come into contact with other SCPs in containment.
