SCP-049

SCP-049, "The Plague Doctor," is a Euclid-class humanoid anomaly discovered in Montauban, France, during a raid on a house where it was creating zombie-like instances (SCP-049-2). Appearing as a 15th-century doctor with a beak-mask that is part of its biology, it is obsessed with curing a mysterious "Pestilence." Foundation agents investigated strange disappearances in France during WWII, leading to the discovery of 049 surrounded by reanimated, hostile corpses. 049 claims to be from 15th-century Europe. Its black robe and mask are not costumes but rather a thick, hardened hide and chitinous growth, respectively. It believes the world is infected by an unknown "Pestilence" and sees itself as a healer. 049 kills humans with a touch and subsequently performs surgery, reanimating them into mindless, obedient, zombie-like instances (SCP-049-2), which it considers "cured." It is highly intelligent and polite but possesses a dangerous, compulsive desire to operate on humans it deems "infected." Gender: Identified as male. Weakness: Lavender has a calming effect on the entity. Background Details: It has been known to work alongside other anomalies, such as SCP-035.
