**Description:** SCP-#### is the corpse of an unidentified human male, aged 40-50 years old. Forensic evidence indicates that the cause of death was cardiac arrest. A variety of preservative chemicals, halogen azides, and peppermint oil have also been detected in substantial quantities in the body's soft tissues; these are believed to have been introduced shortly after death through some unidentified process. The brain was absent upon recovery, apparently having been liquefied and drained through the nostrils.

Whenever SCP-####'s head is tilted upwards, its nostrils will emit an estimated 250 mg of vaporized VX (an extremely potent nerve agent), posing a severe health risk to those in SCP-####'s immediate vicinity. No quantity of the chemical (or of other nerve agents) has been detected in SCP-#### under any other circumstances.

SCP-#### will exhibit anomalous properties on a yearly cycle, with minimal variation in each cycle:
* **February 3 - March 18:** SCP-####'s skeleton will experience irregular outgrowths in the distal phalanges and patella which grow at a rate of about 1cm per day. On **February 14**, the ribcage will break open and SCP-####'s heart will be violently expelled, with the broken ends of the ribs experiencing similar outgrowths. In leap years, no growth will occur on February 29.
* **March 19:** An unidentified green mold begins to grow on SCP-####'s exposed bones and limbs. Conventional analyses of this mold have thus far provided little insight into its properties. It is reported to smell slightly of pine oil. SCP-####'s bones and limbs will be covered in this mold by **April 30**. Bone growth will accelerate to roughly 3cm per day, with growth in the beginning
