Video summary
SCP-905, known as "Mr. Chameleon," is a sentient entity composed entirely of photons that manifests in a humanoid shape roughly 1.75 meters tall with an immeasurable mass. This unique being can speak by manipulating air particles and moves similarly to a human male, though it lacks the ability to manipulate solid objects or cast shadows due to its photonic nature. To contain SCP-905 safely, it is housed in a six-meter cubic cell painted matte black that contains no mirrors or windows, as these reflective surfaces cause extreme discomfort by reflecting light back onto the entity at a rate of roughly five percent per second.
The containment protocol requires strict regulation regarding its "feeding," which involves providing photons to maintain its body volume since it constantly sheds approximately 0.001 percent of its mass every second in visible wavelengths ranging from 380 to 780 nanometers. If fed too little, SCP-905 risks diminishing itself, but over-saturation with an excessive amount of light causes severe pain described by the entity as similar to human burns. The creature also possesses the ability to change its emitted wavelength to match its background for camouflage, yet it cannot absorb colored lights or pass through transparent objects like glass without experiencing significant reflection-induced distress.
A notable aspect of SCP-905's existence is that solids such as doors must be physically moved by personnel before the entity can enter or leave a room, highlighting its inability to interact with matter directly aside from emitting weak electromagnetic radiation. Upon discovery at Site Addendum 905-1, the words "Mr. Chameleon" from Dr. Wondertainment's book *Little Mister* are permanently printed on its left calf in ink that SCP-905 cannot alter or change wavelength-wise. When researchers attempted to feed it using mirrors as a trick, the entity expressed extreme discomfort and rhetorically asked if one would enjoy eating their own emissions, underscoring its sensitivity to light reflection.
The video concludes by emphasizing the delicate balance required in managing this photonic life form within Hall of Sight regulations while noting that further details can be found in related entries like SCP-904 or a dedicated playlist for those interested in completing the orientation course. The summary illustrates how scientists must carefully monitor feeding schedules and environmental conditions to prevent pain or instability, treating SCP-905 with caution despite its safe object classification. Ultimately, the entity serves as a fascinating study of light-based biology within the containment procedures established by the Foundation.

description
scp-905 is a sentient entity composed of
photons
these photons form a humanoid shape that
has been described as fuzzy but definite
it is roughly 1.75 meters tall however
its mass is immeasurable
scp-905 has shown the ability to speak
through the manipulation of air
particles but its mechanism to perform
this is unknown
scp-905 is capable of the same movement
as a human male of the same body
structure but due to its photonic nature
is unable to manipulate solid objects
aside from emitting weak electromagnetic
radiation
solids such as doors must be moved for
scp-905 before it can leave or enter a
room
scp-905 is the ability to pass through
Windows another transparent objects
the photons scp-905 is composed of
follow the usual laws of probability in
this case and will reflect back from the
transparent object at a rate of roughly
five percent separating any reflected
Photon from scp-905's influence
scp-905 describes this as painful but
bearable
scp-905 sheds its photons at a constant
rate of approximately
0.001 percent of its body volume per
second
these photons are emitted at a
wavelength of roughly 380 nanometers to
roughly 780 nanometers or within the
human Spectrum a visible light Best CP
905 shows the ability to change the
wavelengths emitted to match its
background
scp-905's lack of a shadow can make
detecting scp-905 while hidden
problematic
scp-905 shows an inability to absorb
colored lights
due to scp-905's constant loss of
photons
scp-905 must be fed regularly in order
to maintain a healthy body volume
conversely feeding scp-905 too large an
amount of photons causes scp-905 to
experience an over saturation
scp-905 finds this extremely painful and
describes it in a similar manner to
human Burns placing a mirror near
scp-905 in an attempt to feed scp-905
its own emissions results in scp-905
expressing extreme discomfort when
questioned
scp-905 replied would you enjoy eating
your own
scp-905 was discovered at the data
expunged entrance of site
addendum 905-1 the words Mr chameleon
from Little misters by Dr wondertainment
are printed upon scp-905's left calf
scp-905 shows an inability to change the
wavelength emitted by this print
