Item #: SCP-169
Item #: SCP-169
Object Class: Keter
Object Class: Keter
Standard Containment Procedures: SCP-169 cannot and will not ever be contained. No structure on earth possesses the dimensions sufficient enough to contain the entirety of said object, as its mass is greater than the any of our containment facilities. The location of SCP-169 is currently unknown, but GPS suggests that the majority of its body is located somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.
Special Containment Procedures: Owing to is site, SCP-169 cannot and almost certainly will never be contained. No structure on earth possesses the dimensions sufficient enough to contain the entirety of said object, as its mass is greater than any of our containment facilities. The location of SCP-169 is currently unknown, but imaging satellites and analyses of eccentricities in the Earth's orbit possibly caused by SCP-169's movements suggest it is located in the southern Atlantic ocean, possibly stretching around the tip of South America (see Addendum 0-20). ANY SATELLITE FOOTAGE OF A SHIFT IN THE LANDMASSES PRODUCED BY SCP-169 IS TO BE EXCISED AND DESTROYED BY EMBEDDED AGENT █████████ ████████████ [IA-0041] AND DESTROYED.
Description: Only parts of SCP-169 have been seen, so the entirety of the entity cannot be described accurately, however it is assumed that SCP-169 is a marine arthropod of enormous size, known only as the "Leviathan" to sailors and historians alike. Reasonably presumed at first to be a myth told by sailors, SCP-169 was photographed recently by a group of field agents investigating paranormal activity at a chain of islands (Latitude: ██████, Longitude: ██████). After several hours of investigation, the islands were reported to have moved at least three (3) kilometers from their original location, and the agents had begun to chase their assignment. Photographs taken by satellites reveal an enormous series of rock-like plates moving together and drifting slowly across the Atlantic.
Description: SCP-169 is surmised to be a marine arthropod of enormous size, known as the "Leviathan" by generations of sailors and oral history. Presumed at first to be a myth, SCP-169 was detected on ██/██/19██ by Mobile Task Force Gamma-6 during an investigation of paranormal activity around the █████ █████████ archipelago (coordinates ██°██'S ██°██'W). During Ɣ-6's investigation, Dr. ████ ████████ [Ɣ6-0912] discovered the archipelago to have moved at least three (3) kilometers from its original location.
Our researchers estimate that the creature's body length could easily extend lengths greater than that between New York City and Chicago, Illinois and may possess organic mass that has yet to be scientifically recorded by man. The creature is thought to have existed since Pre-Cambrian times, and no other specimens have been sighted.

Though initially Dr. ████████ believed this motion to be due to unusually-quick continental drift, a reconnaissance mission performed by the USS ████████ revealed the archipelago to be the protrusions of rock-like plates covering an enormous organic mass. The SCP organization was brought in immediately to begin threat management.
The nature of the creature is unknown, such as its reproductive capabilities, food source, and nesting area (if any), and research regarding the subject is pending approval. The only information regarding the object is that it is immense and that its entirety has yet to be seen even by satellite. Several small land masses seem to have taken root on what appears to be its back, one which is inhabited by a small tribe of natives who live happily and undisturbed by their traveling homestead. However, were the creature to submerge completely, the tribe would most likely be destroyed.
Dr. ██████████ [Ɣ6-0421] estimated the creature's body length to be at least 7,000 km (larger than the distance from Alaska's Aleutian Islands to Washington, D.C.) and have a mass of 3.45 * 10^^23 kg (approx. 17% of the current estimate of the Earth's mass.) The creature is thought to have existed since the pre-Cambrian era. No other specimens have been sighted. Almost nothing is known about SCP-169's habits, such as its reproductive capabilities (if any), food source, and nesting area (if any). Research regarding the subject is pending approval. The archipelago known as the █████ █████████ Islands have historically been uninhabited, though claimed by ███████ in 17██. Upon deployment of the SCP organization, ███████ presence was evacuated on the pretense of rising sea levels. Though the archipelago has remained above sea level for several millenia, any change of depth by SCP-169 could result in the disappearance of the entire archipelago. SCP-169 moves slowly, less than one kilometer per week (0.0016), but seems only to be adrift. Its method of propulsion is unknown, but regular seismic tremors seem to indicate "breathing" about every three (3) months, causing minor shifts in the islands' terrain. This gives evidence that the creature is probably dormant.
The creature moves slowly, less than one kilometer per hour (1kph), but seems only to be adrift. It's method of propulsion is unknown, but the natives report that the creature "breathes" regularly about every three (3) months, causing minor shifts in the islands' terrain. This gives evidence that the creature is probably alive, but dormant in some way.
Information Suppression: The USS ████████ was scuttled with all hands immediately after the discovery of SCP-169 with the permission of the American government. The public is forbidden from entering the archipelago created by SCP-169 due to the conveniently large number of resident endangered bird species. As indicated above, satellite footage is to be doctored in order to suppress knowledge of SCP-169's movement. N.A.S.A. is currently cooperating with the Foundation in keeping the existence of this creature quiet, and is currently permitting the Foundation use of their satellites for photographic use.

Addendum [0-20]: In 199█, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an American scientific agency unaffiliated with and unaware of the existence of the Foundation, detected an ultra-low-frequency underwater sound emanating from approximately ██ºS ███ºW, approximately 1,500 km from the southwestern coast of South America.

Despite the best efforts of embedded agent ████ ████████ [IA-1522], news of the sound leaked to the media, receiving significant media coverage. Foundation analysis concluded that a massive underwater organism was the source of the noise, and SCP-169 was hypothesized to be its source, as its "head" is well within the possible locations of the rest of SCP-169. The sound confirms Ɣ6-0421's hypothesis that SCP-169 is gargantuan in size. Future efforts by scientific or civilian teams to determine the source of the noise must be stopped by any means necessary.
