SCP Foundation/SCPs/SCP-RS-015

Item #: SCP-RS-015

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: The lot containing SCP-RS-015 is fenced off under the guise of ongoing renovation. Posted signs indicate that the lot is the property of the Draynor Manor Restoration Fund, a Foundation front organization. Entrances to the lot are monitored by CCTV cameras at all times; trespassers are to be detained, questioned and administered Class-C amnesiacs. Any trees in the lot that exhibit anomalous properties are to be marked with bright red marker flags.

Description: SCP-RS-015 is the designation for a group of trees found in the lot containing the abandoned manor some █.█ km north of Draynor Village. They superficially resemble common dead trees with the exception of generally having fewer branches. When approached by a human subject, the branches of SCP-RS-015 will become animate and continuously attack the subject until he or she retreats or expires. Despite their aggressive nature, instances of SCP-RS-018 are rooted to the ground and cannot move to other locations.

The trunk and branches of SCP-RS-015 are highly elastic and will deflect almost all melee weapons and projectiles. SCP-RS-018 appears to be only vulnerable to silver blades that have been blessed by a member of Saradominist faith. The cause for this is unknown.

Analysis of soil recovered from the lot has revealed several unidentified compounds. It is hypothesized that these compounds are are the source of SCP-RS-015's anomalous nature, although it is not known why only certain trees are anomalous. Instances of SCP-RS-015 lose their anomalous properties two to three weeks after being transplanted elsewhere.

Samples of wood obtained from SCP-RS-015 are stored at Site-██ for research.

Addendum: SCP-RS-015 came to the Foundation's attention following reports of trees attacking civilians. The reports could not initially be verified and were considered hoaxes until two Foundation personnel were injured after wandering into the lot. The Foundation immediately took over the lot and manor, and subsequently established the Draynor Manor Restoration Fund to avoid suspicion.
