SCP-131 // "Eyepods"
SCP-131 // "Eyepods"
SCP-131 is to be kept in a custom chamber inside the Light Containment Zone at Paragon Research Institute. There are no special safety procedures when it comes to SCP-131; the entity is freely allowed to roam as long it's free of disturbance.
SCP-131 designates a collection of teardrop-shaped organisms, each possessing a single centrally positioned eye and exhibiting a wide variety of distinct colorations. Cognitive ability varies significantly between instances, ranging from animal-like behavior to a demonstrated understanding of spoken English, with more intelligent subjects capable of communicating through body language such as nodding and head shaking. All known instances emit colored light from their eye to communicate with one another, though the exact nature of this signaling remains poorly understood. A secondary "striped" variant has also been documented, displaying no observable behavioral or anomalous differences from its non-striped counterpart.
