Verdant Creeper - (SCP-LEAF-002)

Containment Procedures: SCP-LEAF-002 is to be housed in a reinforced greenhouse, with the containment area measuring no less than 20m x 20m.

The structure must include a retractable roof to allow sunlight, which is essential for the entity's dormancy.

All entrances must be secured with triple-layer steel doors to prevent breaches. No liquid is to be introduced to SCP-LEAF-002’s environment outside scheduled testing.

Any personnel entering the containment area must be equipped with cutting tools and protective gear to defend against ensnarement.

Immediate incineration of any excessive growth is mandatory to maintain control.

The entity displays advanced predatory behavior, using its leafy appendages to ensnare living organisms, primarily targeting small animals and occasionally humans.

Once SCP-LEAF-002 has wrapped its victims, it will secrete a corrosive enzyme that rapidly digests organic material, absorbing nutrients to fuel further growth. Bones and non-organic materials are left behind, often twisted and tangled within the entity’s body.

While primarily rooted in place, SCP-LEAF-002 has demonstrated limited mobility, crawling toward water sources or new territory when necessary.

Its leaves shift colors depending on its activity, turning dark green during periods of dormancy and brightening to a vivid green when actively hunting.
