Medrawt

Medrawt is a fictional entity originating from the online collaborative storytelling platform, SCP Foundation. Within this fictional universe, Medrawt is described as a cognitohazardous entity that affects individuals exposed to its presence or influence through drawing. The primary characteristic of Medrawt is its ability to compel individuals to draw it, often resulting in a progressive obsession and physical deterioration of the victim.

The entity itself is typically depicted as an abstract or vaguely humanoid form, with its appearance often shifting and difficult to define. Exposure to Medrawt does not involve direct physical contact, but rather the act of observing or being aware of its existence, which then triggers an irresistible urge to depict it visually. Those affected by Medrawt will spend increasing amounts of time drawing, neglecting their basic needs and social interactions.

As the compulsion intensifies, the drawings themselves become more elaborate and disturbing, often reflecting the deteriorating mental and physical state of the artist. Victims may experience hallucinations, paranoia, and a loss of self-identity, becoming entirely consumed by the need to draw Medrawt. The SCP Foundation's containment procedures for Medrawt focus on preventing its spread by obscuring information about it and quarantining individuals who show signs of exposure. The exact nature and origin of Medrawt remain largely unknown within the SCP Foundation lore, contributing to its mysterious and threatening persona.
