Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard containment cell with its instances kept in a separate storage unit.
Description:SCP-XXXX is a creature made of phalanges and ingrown calcium deposits (colored in nail polish) measuring 12m in height. Its body is capable of locomotion via 245 centipedal protrusions, utilized for crawling or dancing. The tip of each protrusion conforms to a singular point which resembles a large toe, covered by a 25mm embroidered shoe.
Infracted blood vessels and muscles of SCP-XXXX exhibit avascular necrosis and sepsis, and fungal colonies grown between folds. Beta-keratin scales form the entity's outermost epidermal layer (designated SCP-XXXX-α) which are hardy, tensile, and detachable;
- SCP-XXXX-α-1 resembles a dragon with green and red trimming, resistant to extreme decompression and temperatures. When worn, SCP-XXXX is capable of producing a 1.7m stream of fire via biodiesel, deoxygenating air rapidly. During which, the entity moves in a serpentine, undulating manner, achieving wave-like patterns with its body.
- SCP-XXXX-α-2 resembles an anthropomorphized female with the tail of a fish. When worn, SCP-XXXX imitates flailing motions, bleeding black discharge as a form of "pigment", and painting the ground with its tail. Throughout this period, the entity simulates soundless mouth movements with -α-2's mouth. The entity is pulled upward by -α-2's cheek via an unknown source until its body is fully upright, and levitates momentarily before collapsing and repeating behaviors.
- SCP-XXXX-α-3 resembles Consort Yu,1 however, unlike other instances, it is highly damaged via stabbing around the abdominal area. The dress portions' embroidered designs and medallions are severely burnt, and match that of the entity's shoes.
Note: Retrieval teams responding to sightings of "animate costumes" in a basement belonging to a theatre in Beijing discovered SCP-XXXX and its instances. Below denotes a segment of a 1949 script written by the deceased Dou Yi, former headmaster of the theatre since its humble beginnings as a secretive actor's troupe.

His hair like scales, his face like porcelain,
behind the lotus-flower curtain,
he was her, a nymph, a dragon.Archwood and bamboo rose to hide her,
denunciation, fires crept and rose,
consumed, the paper lotus.There was no future for us,
perhaps, not together,
but certainly not as lovers.- Dou Yi
