SCP-096 spends most of its days pacing the eastern wall of its containment chamber, at the exact moment that anyone views SCP-096's face or sees it (directly, or in a photo or video, though artistic renderings have no effect) SCP-096 will cover its face with its hands screaming and crying, showing extreme emotional distress. After one to two minutes, SCP-096 will stand up and begin to run to the person that saw its face.

Nothing can impede SCP-096's path to the person who saw SCP-096's face. When SCP-096 reaches its target, it will kill them without failing. SCP-096 will kill victims in an unclear way which leaves no trace of the victim's body (it is somewhat implied that it eats them after killing). After killing its victim, SCP-096 will return to its docile state and then attempt to return to its natural habitat.

Due to lack of canon in the SCP universe, there have been several stories telling the origins of SCP-096. The readers are free to choose whatever origin for their headcanon.

There is comfort in not seeing. There is bliss in not knowing.

SCP-096 was once a normal human child who was laughed at by other children for his ugly appearance. This caused deep depression and self-hatred within the child and eventually grew up to be a monster who would keep his face hidden at any cost in order to not get laughed at anymore. 

SCP-096 was first discovered by the SCP Foundation in its "natural habitat" near a mountain in an unknown place. The Foundation sent retrieval team Zulu-9 A to capture the creature. Upon landing their chopper near the monster, it turned towards them allowing all of the team, except for the captain who had turned his back in order to talk to a doctor, to see its face causing it to intensely cry before violently attacking them. The team used all of their weaponry to damage the monster, but to no avail as it shrugged the attacks off and managed to kill almost all of the team except for the captain. Then the backup team Zulu-9 B arrived and were told by the surviving captain to not look at its face, since he had figured out the reason why the monster attacked his team. They put a bag on its head and load it to their chopper before sending the monster to a Foundation site.
