Description
With December finally here, it's time for Nr 5 in my SCP Foundation series; SCP-4666 - The Yule Man, by far one of the most horrifying and monstrous entities ever recorded by the SCP Foundation, which is saying something. Though eyewitness accounts are very scarce, they describe a horrifically emaciated and elongated humanoid, who has only ever been seen in the northern hemisphere, and only ever during the traditional "Yule" season, usually stalking and observing very isolated homes, containing families with atleast one child under 8. In most cases, the Yule Man eventually breaks into the home, brutally torturing it's occupants to death, with all known cases being done in different ways, sparing only the youngest child, who he kidnaps. However, in a few cases, the Yule Man instead leaves behind a gift consisting of crudely made toys such as musical instruments, dolls or toy soldiers, all of whom are made of humain remains. Modern DNA testing have revealed that these "gifts" are made of the bodies of children previously reported missing.
Virtually all information on the Yule Man comes from the witness report of one survivor, a Russian girl who had been reported missing 2 years before, only to be left as a "gift" in another home, her body having been stunted through starvation and abuse, then mutilated to let her pass for a crude toy doll. She lived for roughly 30 minutes, allowing her to tell SCP personnel what happens to the children taken for the Yule Man.
