You feel like something is here with you, but you do not see anything."." It feels like something's in this room with me.".

" You feel something breathing right next to you.".If the player approaches an instance without wearing the goggles, a message will be displayed, reading: They are only able to be seen when the player is wearing a pair of night vision goggles, although their sounds can still be heard when nearby regardless and the player is still able to collide with the instances. SCP-966 instances can be found in their containment chamber and in the maintenance tunnels. On occasion, they will deliberately make threatening noises around the prey in order to further stress it, and may even physically assault it if the victim proves to be particularly durable. SCP-966 have proved to be very agile and silent while stalking their victims. At this point, SCP-966 will proceed to consume it. One hypothesis is that SCP-966 will only do this when starving, since it further degenerates the physical and mental state of their prey, incapacitating it at a faster rate.Īfter depriving their victims of sleep, SCP-966 will stalk their prey until the lack of rest incapacitates it.


Why SCP-966 continually exposes these waves to only some of their victims is unknown. It is currently thought that these are the effects of prolonged exposure to the waves. Other than the common symptoms caused by sleep deprivation, some victims of SCP-966 have shown signs of suffering from extremely vivid hallucinations, as well as sudden bouts of rage with no apparent external stimuli. Their hunting methods consist on emitting a single burst of a previously unknown type of wave, which permanently inhibits the ability of the affected creature to enter in any of the NREM and REM sleep stages. SCP-966 feed on medium-to-large sized animals, including humans. They are visible only at wavelengths ranging from 700 nm to about 900 nm. They do not seem to rest through sleep instead, they will suddenly cease all movement at seemingly random intervals of time, resuming normal activity three to five minutes later. Physically, they are weak, possessing hollow bones and low muscular density. SCP-966 are predatory creatures that resemble hairless, digitigrade humans, possessing an elongated face with a mouth lined with needle-like teeth.
