Behavioral Analysis

SCP-3000, commonly referred to as "Anantashesha," is an anomalous, serpent-like entity residing in the Bay of Bengal. Its immense size, estimated to be between 600 and 900 kilometers in length, defies known biological principles.

Despite its lethargic demeanor, SCP-3000 demonstrates acute environmental awareness, responding to nearby disturbances with rapid bursts of movement that suggest highly refined sensory capabilities.

Observed Anomalous Behaviors:

• Subjects exposed to SCP-3000 report vivid hallucinations and intrusive thoughts.
• Memory alterations, including vivid depictions of ancient, otherworldly civilizations.
• Prolonged exposure induces trance-like states where subjects mutter phrases in unrecognizable languages.
• Proximity to SCP-3000 causes measurable cognitive decline, including memory loss and disorientation.

Experimentation: During a live-feed experiment, subjects observing SCP-3000 reported "invisible glyphs" on its scales and auditory phenomena resembling whispers, though none were recorded.

SCP-3000’s behavioral patterns suggest a form of intelligence that may be intertwined with its anomalous abilities, warranting further investigation.
