Item #: SCP-203
Object Class: Safe Euclid Keter
Special Containment Procedures: The subject is to be under passive observation until further notice. This is due to its regenerative ability bearing remarkable similarities to SCP-267’s shapeshifting, as SCP-267’s genetic material was the base for SCP-203. The subject is currently held in the Site-16 Thaumatology low-risk containment cells biohazard and pathogen containment research center.
The subject is to be placed in a standard containment unit capable of restraining docile life forms and equipped with all amenities to prevent the subject from accidentally harming itself. Due to its mental deficiency, constant vigilance is a necessity in order to prevent accidental self harm. A trauma team is to be placed on standby at all times should any accidents occur, or for unforeseen complications during testing. (Rescinded on ██/██/████)
The subject is to be placed in a maximum security hermetically sealed biohazard containment unit under negative pressure. The unit is to be sealed at all times. Any and all individuals entering the cell, regardless of reasons, must wear the specified hazmat gear outlined in Addendum 17. Failure to do so is punishment in of itself.
What’s left of you will be incinerated. Yes, she’s small and cute, and the nickname “Wither” I’ve heard floating around is endearing, but that doesn’t change the fact she has thirty seven deaths to her name.
~Doctor Zorn, Research Lead
All individuals interacting with the subject are under Level 5 Biohazard quarantine until otherwise cleared (For a full list of decontamination procedures, see attached supplemental documentation). No individual is allowed to directly touch the subject, or remove their own external air supplies until quarantine has been lifted. Weekly sweeps of all areas the subject has visited, along with any and all personnel interacting with it, are to be cleansed with Dimethyl Sulfoxide in order to destroy any particulates or cellular material it may have shed. Decontamination sweeps are mandatory and cannot be halted regardless of circumstances.
Should the subject ever escape confinement, the facility is to be placed in Level 5 Biohazard Containment until the subject is safely secured in its cell. The quarantine is not to be lifted until a full site decontamination has been implemented and verified both on and off site. Should it come to pass that another lifeform directly touches the subject and it uses their cellular material to regenerate its body, they are to be immediately terminated with extreme prejudice.
Due to the secondary abilities of the subject, termination review of the subject is suspended until its regenerative properties are better understood, as it is unknown if the subject may be able to regenerate at alternate cellular sites only when its “main” body is destroyed. As such, termination of the subject would only allow it to regenerate in another possibly unsecure location.
Seriously, I’ve come up with nothing that can stop her should she get out again. All it takes is one cell somewhere else, and she’s gone. Pray she stays brain dead, because we are so boned otherwise.

Description: The subject is a female earth pony entity approximately .94m (3.08ft.) in height and 23kg (50.71lbs) in weight, although these measurements have been known to vary widely both before and after testing. The subject’s physical profile is in a constant state of extreme physiological flux due to its unique abilities (See project document 8715-206 for further details).
The subject displays powers of extreme cellular mitosis that border on instantaneous regeneration of bodily damage. The subject has been currently clocked at having been able to regenerate entire limbs within the span of one (1) to four (4) hours, regardless of caloric intake, although it is suspected that the process can be accelerated under trauma testing. How the subject is capable of repairing such bodily trauma without sustenance is unknown and is undergoing review.
Other than its unique abilities, the subject has shown remarkable similarities with Equestrians. It possesses two common recessive genetic disorders, and forty eight (48) percent of its genes are identical to those tracing Canterlot genealogical ancestry. This is possibly an avenue of research in regards to SCP-267’s origin.
Currently the subject displays no higher brain functions. Cranial imaging has shown severe atrophy in the frontal lobe, with a cessation of almost all activity in the prefrontal cortex. Conversely, what has been identified as the temporal lobe has shown consistent synaptic activity, despite increased synaptic necrosis in its remaining brain tissue over the course of its lifetime.
██/██/████
The subject has shown the ability to absorb and break down organic material as supplementary caloric intake and fuel for regeneration. Although ingestion is the preferred method, absorption through skin contact has been confirmed during multiple research testing procedures. No forms of inorganic absorption have been observed.
Through this tactile absorption, it has been confirmed that the subject’s skin may double as a form of permeable filter that removed particulates and waste material from acceptable organic material, including liquid solutions. This ability has kept the subject alive even during trauma testing where as much as 68% of its body has been destroyed.
It has been confirmed that the subject can also absorb organic material from living organisms.
██/██/████
A second notable ability of its tissue regeneration is that the subject can regenerate from any single, living cell, regardless of its position to the host body. Despite complete bodily destruction during Incident Report 86-42, the subject was capable of regenerating up to 59% of its original bodily mass before breaking containment on ██/██/████. It is currently unknown if the subject can sustain multiple copies of itself should its tissue be scattered in multiple locations. It is also unknown how the subject can sustain such extreme regeneration without a notable form of nourishment or energy supplemental. All testing has been postponed until further notice.
Containment History: Embedded agent Doctor H████ had theorized that SCP-267 could be studied in order to produce rapid healing, considering the subject healed its wounds far faster than any known species. Doctor H████ was granted access to SCP-267 in order to pursue his avenue of research (See supplementary documentation under SCP-267 for further details).
SCP-203 was cloned from SCP-267 genetic material and held much promise, but its slowly degrading mental condition moved its classification to a failure. Its abilities were documented over the course of two years. Unfortunately, on ██/██/████, Doctors Herod and Harmony died after coming into direct contact with the subject. Upon its touch, SCP-203 used their biological material in order to regenerate wounds suffered from testing earlier that day. Both doctors remains were incinerated. Containment was updated in light of the situation.
Once its abilities were fully documented, the subject was scheduled for termination. This proved to have a severely adverse side effect. Upon confirmed death of the subject, Site-16 was locked under biological quarantine as SCP-203 used its DNA shed in adjacent corridors to regenerate its body. Magical and projectile weapons proved ineffective at terminating the subject once again.
The subject used security and janitorial personnel to regenerate its body, but left several masses of unknown biological tissue in its wake that, upon later testing, bore several of the subject’s genetic markers. The masses of flesh broke down tissue, bone, and muscle just as SCP-203’s main body does. These masses of flesh began to slowly expand and envelop over the course of several days with every consumed member of staff.
Site-16’s quarantine status was manually upgraded to Level 5 by Site Director Belladonna. Field Agents were brought in from Site-08 to purge Site-16 and succeeded. Total casualties include eighteen (18) doctors and research staff, twenty seven (27) field agents, and forty nine (49) miscellaneous Foundation staff. SCP-203 was recontained after four days of assault on Site-16.
