SCP-966 - Sleep Killers

Object No.: SCP-966 Object Class: Euclid Special conditions of detention: MOG Iota-1 "Dream Hunters" and MOG Iota-2 "Wind Catchers" are constantly engaged in monitoring the news for reports of cases of sudden violent death associated with sleep deprivation, investigating such cases and searching for and neutralizing the survivors of SCP-966. The four individuals of SCP-966 maintained by the Foundation (three males of SCP-966-1, SCP-966-3 and SCP-966-4 and a female of SCP-966-2) should be kept in a room 10 * 10 meters with steel walls sheathed with lead sheets located in the ██. Two surveillance cameras operating in the infrared spectrum should be installed in the room. The monthly diet of each individual SCP-966 is 20 kilograms of meat. In the case of pregnancy with SCP-966, the newborn should be examined and then destroyed until it reaches maturity. Description: SCP-966 are predatory animals resembling hairless finger-walking humans with a long face and a mouth full of needle-like teeth. On each paw of the creature grows five claws, reaching 20 cm in length. The claws are sharp, but very brittle, so they are not suitable for combat. The height of SCP-966 ranges from 1. 4 to 1. 6 meters, the weight reaches 30 kilograms. The physical strength of SCP-966 is small because the creatures' bones are hollow and the density of muscle tissue is small. It seems that they don't need sleep as a way to rest; instead, they stop moving from time to time and fall into a stupor lasting 3-5 minutes. SCP-966 is visible only in the wavelength range from 700 to 900 nanometers. This applies to all SCP-966 tissues regardless of their condition. If their skin, muscles or internal organs have suffered second or third degree burns, the affected areas will be visible in the wavelength range from 360 to 900 nanometers. SCP-966 feeds on medium and large animals, including humans. They hunt alone or in pairs. The method of hunting consists in emitting a single pulse of a previously unknown type of
