SCP-049 is a humanoid anomaly with a plague doctor's mask and black robes that are part of its body. It was discovered in France during World War II, where it was found surrounded by reanimated corpses. The entity claims to be a healer, but its methods involve killing and reanimating its victims, turning them into violent, zombie-like creatures. SCP-049 was contained by the Foundation and studied, but it eventually broke free and went on a rampage, killing several people before being recaptured. The entity's ultimate goal is to "cure" humanity of its perceived diseases, which it believes are the root of all evil. Its methods are highly effective, but also extremely deadly.
