SCP-049 is no faster than the player's walking speed, but it is very persistent and will not be deterred by Tesla gates.

It is advised that the player avoid SCP-049 as much as possible. When within range, SCP-049 will extend its arm and attempt to catch the player. Once the player enters the monitor hub portion of the surveillance room, SCP-049 will follow shortly after in pursuit, due to SCP-079 reopening all the keycard locked doors.

While these surgeries are not always successful, they often result in the creation of instances of SCP-049-2. SCP-049 has expressed frustration or remorse after these killings, indicating that they have done little to kill "The Pestilence", though will usually seek to then perform a crude surgery on the corpse using the implements contained within a black doctor's bag it carries on its person at all times.

SCP-049 is capable of causing all biological functions of an organism to cease through direct skin contact. While SCP-049 appears to be wearing the thick robes and the ceramic mask indicative of that profession, the garments instead seem to have grown out of SCP-049's body over time, and are now nearly indistinguishable from whatever form is beneath them. SCP-049 is a humanoid entity which bears the appearance of a medieval plague doctor.
