SCP-049-J is an avian humanoid character from the mythos of the SCP Foundation website. His debut story, SCP-049-J — The Plague Fellow was posted in 2017 by a writer known as djkaktus as a parody of SCP-049 — Plague Doctor (2009), which he would assist the original writer Gabriel Jade with in rewriting circa 2019.

Like SCP-049, SCP-049-J has an appearance of a medieval plague doctor, only that he does not possess pseudo clothing but is in fact made of living clothing: removal of SCP-049-J beak mask/head or robes/body reveals a foul-smelling interior full of moss, wads of organic tissue, and smaller plague doctor masks. SCP-049-J also tries to always carry on his person a bag and a preferably pointy walking stick for the purposes of carrying alleged medical instruments and swinging around grandly with no regard to anyone else respectively.

SCP-049-J claims to be a powerful magical doctor wizard capable of "curing that which ails mankind"; contrary to that claim, he has been unable to provide any medical assistance in all observed attempts and often instead cause further discomfort, illness, injury, or even death (ex. bludgeoning a woman with a shoe to her neck reportedly to treat her sore throat). Aside from being an animate inanimate, the only extranormal abilities SCP-049 has showcased is the ability to escape unnoticed after a display of his medical ineptitude; he will quickly leave such as by running or defenestration and his absence will only be noticed once he has left the premises.

According to the SCP Tales Boiled, Scrambled, and Fried and Let Me Cure Her, Daddy (both written by Wydness), SCP-049-J is the son of SCP-049 and Dr. Raymond Hamm, the former lead researcher on SCP-049. Through unknown means, SCP-049 became impregnated by Dr. Hamm and subsequently he laid an egg that hatched into SCP-049-J.
