Containment Procedures
As SCP-XXXX is no longer cleared for use by Foundation personnel, containment efforts are to focus instead on identification of anyone suffering symptoms of prolonged SCP-XXXX exposure. Such individuals are to be surveilled, but containment of affected individuals is deemed unnecessary in all but the most severe cases.
Description
SCP-XXXX is the former Class-D amnestic designated AMN-924.
The anomalous qualities of SCP-XXXX were only brought to the attention of the Foundation in the wake of the suicide of Dr. Delapore, a former researcher of Site-109. Having been under Foundation employ for decades, Delapore had been dosed with AMN-924 many times over the years due to the anomalies he worked with.

Addendum 1: Personal Journal of Dr. Delapore
Addendum 2: Dr. Olmstead's Missive
There was no way we could have predicted what happened to Delapore. It took decades for his symptoms to develop and progress to this point, and after all this time we've yet to see any case as severe as his.
This isn't exactly something we could have found out earlier. The amount of AMN-924 we would've had to dose test subjects with to create these effects would have completely shut down all brain function. This only happened because of Delapore's specific situation.

Special Containment Procedures
A minimum of four captive populations of SCP-XXXX instances are to be maintained within Foundation Biological Research and Containment Site-95. All captured SCP-XXXX instances are to be outfitted with radio collars so that they may be easily tracked and recovered in the event of containment breach. Until SCP-XXXX's place of origin is identified, SCP-XXXX instances are to be housed within individual dens, which will remain locked between the hours of 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM EST. During daytime hours, SCP-XXXX may be released from their dens into a large enrichment paddock for study, with each population of SCP-XXXX being given access to a different paddock. In the event that an SCP-XXXX lays eggs, the instance's den is to be filled with a tranquilizing gas during nighttime lockdown so that the eggs may be retrieved for study and replaced with false "dummy" eggs.
Enrichment paddocks are to imitate various biomes in order to identify in which biomes SCP-XXXX instances are most successful, and new paddocks may be created or existing paddocks altered with approval of lead researcher Dr. Agnes Uwe. Enrichment paddocks are to be stocked with both flora and fauna appropriate to the replicated biome. Under no circumstances are humans to enter SCP-XXXX paddocks so that SCP-XXXX containment may remain as close as possible to replicating the conditions of "wild" biomes. As SCP-XXXX is considered to be an invasive species, observation and study of wild instances is not advisable.
Once per month, members of Mobile Task Force Lambda-12 ("Pest Control") are to be dispatched to patrol the Appalachian mountains in search of uncontained SCP-XXXX instances or nests. Instances discovered may be captured or euthanized at the discretion of Lambda-12, though deceased specimens must still be turned over to Dr. Uwe for study. Furthermore, any descriptions, video footage, retrieved biological specimens, or other such records of extradimensional locations or alternate realities are to be submitted to the SCP-XXXX research team in the hopes of finding a place of origin of SCP-XXXX.
Description
SCP-XXXX refers to an invasive species that cannot currently be classified within the modern understanding of phylogenetic relationships. At present, no directly anomalous traits or effects of SCP-XXXX have been found; rather, the presence of SCP-XXXX is considered the species's chief anomalous quality, as it has neither extant nor extinct species similar enough to SCP-XXXX for it to be considered part of this Earth's evolutionary history.
SCP-XXXX instances are feathered, hexapodal vertebrates typically ranging from 77 to 113 cm in length and 24 to 40 cm in height. SCP-XXXX are notably light for their size, typically between 6 and 13 kg in mass. The body plan of SCP-XXXX instances most closely resembles mustelids1, with similar body proportions, loose skin, a thick covering of fur (or pseudo-feathers, in SCP-XXXX's case), and a relatively pronounced nasal cavity, though SCP-XXXX have significantly larger eyes, no external ears, and, of course, an extra pair of legs. SCP-XXXX's eyes have "W"-shaped pupils similar to those of cuttlefish, and, despite their elongated nasal cavity, SCP-XXXX's nostrils are not external, instead located on the roof of SCP-XXXX's mouth.
Curiously, SCP-XXXX feathers and claws are composed of α-keratin2 instead of the β-keratin found in birds and reptiles. The shaft of one of these pseudo-feathers is almost identical in structure to a mammalian hair, save for the smaller hairs branching off of it. SCP-XXXX instances do produce milk to feed young after they have hatched, although mammary glands are found in both male and female SCP-XXXX instances.
Despite having rather robust leg muscles, SCP-XXXX instances have never been observed jumping, pouncing, or attempting to climb trees or other such obstacles. Additionally, they have only been observed running at speeds below 8 m/s, despite analysis of their musculature in relation to their body mass suggesting they are capable of achieving speeds in excess of 15 m/s.
SCP-XXXX typically lay a single clutch of three or four eggs once per year, with parents taking "shifts" brooding each day while the other hunts. In contrast to most mammals, SCP-XXXX only possess four nipples, whereas mammals typically have twice the number of nipples as they do offspring. Once offspring have hatched, the behavioral patterns of the parents do not change, with one parent remaining at the den to feed the young, alternating between the two parents each day. Although MTF Lambda-12 have recovered eggs and discovered brooding SCP-XXXX instances during summer months, all instances currently in Foundation containment lay their eggs during the late fall and hatch during early spring.
SCP-XXXX instances have only been found in the Appalachian mountains, with the vast majority of instances captured within the Blue Ridge Parkway of North Carolina.
SCP-XXXX instances display notable fearlessness and hostility towards other organisms, similar to the behavior of geese or badgers. This aggression extends to members of their own species, even including an instance's mate. This behavior is in part responsible for the "shifts" SCP-XXXX parents take when brooding or caring for young, as even a mated pair cannot reside in the same den for long without fighting.

Addenda
Addendum 1: Anatomical Speculation and Origin Theories
As previously stated, SCP-XXXX are considered to be an invasive species, although they are perhaps unique in their method of invasion. Due to their notable anatomical differences from all extant flora and fauna as well as the lack of any fossil records supporting the notion that such a species could have evolved naturally on this Earth. SCP-XXXX is, however, too similar to known non-anomalous fauna for an extraterrestrial origin to be likely. Therefore, it is currently believed that SCP-XXXX originate from an entirely separate dimension or reality.
SCP-XXXX instances' extra limbs, low center of gravity, relatively low body mass, and contrast between their extremely sturdy leg muscles and their notable reluctance to jump or reach theorized top speeds may be due to SCP-XXXX originating from a dimension with heightened gravity. According to this theory, 8 m/s would be at or perhaps above the top speed SCP-XXXX instances could achieve, while jumping would be a physical impossibility for them due to the increased weight. This would also explain the pseudo-feathers, as that adaption would allow them to keep warm without adding the weight a proper coat of fur would.
All captive instances of SCP-XXXX lay their eggs during the colder months of the year, although Lambda-12 have discovered wild SCP-XXXX brooding during summer months. Despite this, no eggs recovered during the summer months have ever successfully hatched. Testing has found that the ideal temperature for SCP-XXXX eggs is between 20°C and 25°C, with temperatures below 18°C or in excess of 27°C resulting in a near-100% mortality rate for SCP-XXXX eggs. The brooding behavior of SCP-XXXX instances may directly result in the death of all eggs laid during the spring or summer months, hence why only those that lay their eggs during cooler weather remained.
By this logic, it is possible that SCP-XXXX originate from a dimension wherein global temperatures are significantly reduced. This would explain why wild instances lay eggs during the hotter parts of the year, as they would be safe to do so in their home dimension. Such a trait would not have the chance to be bred out of populations that are displaced suddenly, whereas the Foundation has seen multiple generations of SCP-XXXX born and mature under its care. This would also explain the presence of nostrils inside of SCP-XXXX's mouth, as that adaptation would allow it similar (though perhaps not quite as robust) odor-detection as would a dog's wet nose without leaving an area exposed directly to the air, though with the drawback of requiring SCP-XXXX to keep its mouth at least slightly open at all times in order to breathe.
The aggressive tendencies of SCP-XXXX specimens make them particularly dangerous as an invasive species. While they do not pose much threat to humans or large carnivores like bears, they have been known to take down coyotes, eagles, bobcats, and other similarly-sized predators that attempt to prey upon SCP-XXXX. This may in part be their primary defense mechanism, since their low top speed makes fleeing from predators difficult for them. This aggressive behavior also leads to SCP-XXXX killing or severely injuring more organisms than they actually eat simply due to the frequency with which they attack other fauna.
If indeed SCP-XXXX are of an extradimensional origin, then it is likely that whatever method by which they are transported to this dimension is located within the Blue Ridge Parkway. Although this theoretical method of transportation has yet to be discovered, this would explain why SCP-XXXX appear most commonly within that region and have yet to be found outside of the Appalachian mountain range.
Addendum 2:
On June 19th, 2019, one individual, SCP-XXXX-A13, vanished from its den at 1:19 AM. Investigation of the den revealed that SCP-XXXX-A13 had constructed a tunnel that had been concealed by its bedding. SCP-XXXX-A13 burrowed through the dirt and the layer of concrete beneath it, though the tunnel ended abruptly 3 m below the paddock's foundation. No method by which SCP-XXXX-A13 could have escaped was found. No signal from SCP-XXXX-A13's tracking collar could be detected.
SCP-XXXX-A13 was recovered on January 12, 2020 during exploration utilizing an unrelated anomaly that allowed transport between dimensions3. SCP-XXXX-A13 was contained by that dimension's Foundation, having attacked a researcher after spontaneously appearing within the alternate Foundation's Site-95.
It is currently unknown whether SCP-XXXX possesses some previously unknown means of traveling to other dimensions or if it had simply taken advantage of another anomaly residing within Site-95. While Dr. Uwe has theorized that dimensional transport may, in fact, be a part of SCP-XXXX's lifecycle, there is as of yet insufficient evidence to support such a conclusion.
Addendum 3: List of Potential Home Dimensions
Exploration logs of various dimensions where SCP-XXXX eggs or live SCP-XXXX instances have been found. The notable information revealed here is that multiple dimensions host SCP-XXXX, but none of them fit the profile of SCP-XXXX's home dimension. Some even reveal a sudden and catastrophic loss in biodiversity as a direct result of SCP-XXXX invasion.

NOTICE FROM THE OVERSEER COUNCIL
Yes, this is the infamous toilet plant. You've probably heard quite a lot about it. Some have called it one of the most ridiculous anomalies in our possession, but that assessment isn't entirely accurate. It is indeed ridiculous, but the long and short of it is that SCP-6000 is entirely non-anomalous. Despite all the rumors floating around, SCP-6000 does not carry any memetic effects nor does it release any chemicals that would cause an individual to perceive toilets where they should not be as an ordinary occurrence. It is simply an odd plant and nothing more.
That realization came far too late. Liberally containing anything that seemed strange was a greater mistake than we knew. As a result, we've condemned ourselves to maintaining a massive cover-up for something that poses no threat at all. Let this failure serve as a lesson to all Foundation staff. "Strange" does not mean "anomalous". The world is full of oddities. Attempting to hide all of them will only make our jobs more difficult, but that is the price we pay. Destruction, however, cannot be undone.
We, the Foundation, have made a serious error here, and that is something we simply cannot afford. Do not allow this mistake to be repeated.
— O5-1
Special Containment Procedures
All plumbers unions or similar organizations worldwide must be subject to Foundation oversight. Foundation staff implanted in archaeological and paleontological groups are to monitor dig sites for any instances of SCP-6000-1. Instances of SCP-6000-1 are to be documented, destroyed, and replaced with new versions that do not depict SCP-6000. Any non-Foundation persons that encounter SCP-6000-1 instances are to be detained, interrogated, and administered Class C amnestics. Foundation web crawlers are to continually search for and purge any discussion that may potentially be related to SCP-6000 or SCP-6000-1.
SCP-6000 is currently believed to be extinct in the wild due to prior Foundation containment procedures. The only known instances of SCP-6000 still in existence are a collection of 26 seeds and cuttings from mature SCP-6000 specimens contained within Site-77's cold storage wing. A supply of preserved gametes are stored in the same location. SCP-6000 storage is accessible with Level 1 security clearance.
Due to the likelihood of uncontained SCP-6000-1 instances causing a ßK-Class "Lifted Veil"4 scenario, their containment has been deemed utmost priority for Foundation personnel.
Description
Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, the most well-known SCP-6000-1 instance.
SCP-6000 is a species of pitcher plant closely related to Nepenthes lowii5. All instances of SCP-6000 display complete albinism and are thus incapable of photosynthesis, gaining nutrition exclusively through digestion of biological matter that falls into the pitcher. Pitchers of SCP-6000 are abnormally tough and waxy, often described as feeling akin to plastic or ceramic.
The pitcher of SCP-6000 secretes digestive enzymes, though the digestive effects are rather weak. It is best suited to breaking down matter that has already been through the digestive process of another organism. Curiously, SCP-6000's roots have been found to secrete excess nutrients from digested material instead of absorbing nutrients from the soil. It has been theorized that this adaptation allows SCP-6000 to grow in otherwise inhospitable environments or in areas where it would face steep competition for available resources.
SCP-6000-1 are written accounts, artistic depictions, photographs, or fossilized remains of SCP-6000 created prior to 1935. At the time of writing, a total of ████ individual SCP-6000-1 instances have been recovered and subsequently destroyed, with the most recent SCP-6000-1 instance discovered on 30 Jul 2021 23:30.
Addenda
Addendum 1:
The following document is a missive from Dr. Uwe, former lead researcher of SCP-6000. Its inclusion was mandated by order of the O5 Council.
April 14th, 1935
I can't do this anymore.
The world is being choked to death by dust because of a toilet plant. This is a sentence I never thought I'd have to write, but here I am. That's the way things are. The western half of America, Canada, and Mexico are all utterly barren.
We can't grow food. The only thing most people around here have eaten today is dirt from the dust storms rolling through. I would say I buried another member of my research team this week, but that wouldn't be true. Burials just aren't feasible when the wind alone can unearth graves.
This storm is my fault, and everyone in this site knows it. I was the one who led the extermination efforts for SCP-6000. I thought that the notion that our western toilets were based on a pitcher plant was too ridiculous to be true, that this had to be some kind of anomaly. I didn't understand it, so I thought I needed to contain it. I thought removing it from the wild entirely was the best course of action.
Even something as silly and illogical as a toilet plant can be integral to the ecology. Even if we didn't realize it at the time, the plant was the only thing making farming feasible. As we exploited the earth, it returned nutrients to it. Now it's gone, and the soil is lifeless and barren. Like a house of cards, everything topples to the ground if you remove even a single element. Nature is in shambles over a stupid toilet plant.
Consider this my resignation letter. I have to wipe the slate clean. As of today, there is no Foundation site in Boise City, no Dr. Uwe, no toilet plant, and no record that any of this existed save for this single slip of paper. This is the only way I can think of to make the world forget what we did. If you're reading this, then hopefully history will have forgotten me. That's all I can ask for.
Addendum 2: Dr. Uwe's Proposal
Analysis of Localized GH-Class "Dead Greenhouse"6 Event
Date: 1930-1936
Subject: SCP-6000
Lead Researcher: Dr. Uwe
It is apparent to me now that SCP-6000 was always here. It didn't enter our reality through some anomalous event. Like all non-anomalous life on this planet, SCP-6000 evolved. It evolved alongside us. It evolved because of us. We fed it, we pollenated it, and we eliminated its competition. In return, SCP-6000 supported our conquest. What we took from the earth, SCP-6000 returned. It turned our waste into the nitrogen that the soil so desperately needed, and we were too stupid to notice. We didn't realize until it was too late that we couldn't live without it.
We've kept SCP-6000's seeds. It's time we put them to use. We can't allow another event like that to happen. We have to make sure that the ground remains fertile, and SCP-6000 can help us. I already have O5's blessing on this. It pains me to write this, but we're reintroducing the toilet plant. Not to the wild, of course. Lord knows what a mess it would be if someone found toilets growing rampant in the woods. No, we're going to put them somewhere nobody will think it's unusual.
Yes, we are incorporating SCP-6000 into architecture. Obviously, it wouldn't do to have a pitcher of acid under people's asses. That's where plumbing comes into play. We fill the bowl of the plant with water, and we incorporate a mechanical lever to drain the pitcher. This way we can send waste into acidic chambers for digestion without people noticing there's a plant growing from their walls.
This also means we need to crack down on SCP-6000-1 instances even harder. There can't be any trace of proper toilets existing too early. Any indication at all that there's an anomaly in every home is too great a risk to take.
I really hate this job sometimes.

REFERENCE MATERIAL, NOT PART OF SCP ARTICLE
Hey! This isn't actually going to be published.
I'm just including this here so I don't forget it later.
91919's language can also be expressed in numerical form,
though I never directly address it. Here's the key, for my
future self to use if I ever need it:
C (O or a single soft click)
0 (**O** or a single loud click)
1 (a space or a rest)
3 (OO or two soft clicks)
6 (O**O** or a soft click followed by a loud click)
8 (**OO** or two loud clicks)
9 (**O**O or a loud click followed by a soft click)
The entity's name, **O**O **O**O **O**O, would be written as 91919.
The name for the Hounds, SCP-5389, is OO**OOO**O, written as 389.
So, uh... if you're reading this and you aren't me, I hope this
doesn't ruin some of the mystery. This is just for my personal benefit.
