"Parasitic avian creature"
rating: 0+x

Item #: SCP-NOT ASSIGNED

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-3586 is to be contained in a 3m x 3m x 3m containment cell. This cell must be locked at all times. Class B authorization is required for testing. Any attempts of carrying SCP-3586 out of its containment cell by any personnel will be dealt with immediate termination.

The cell in which SCP-3586 is contained can't allow any way or form in which it can be seen from the outside, this includes windows and video surveillance, images or drawings have no effect. To monitor the state of the specimen a picture will be taken each 4 hours and examined by research personnel. Any changes in SCP-3596 must be notified to the site director.

Description:

SCP-3586 resembles a domesticated chicken egg, and shows no difference from any other egg from that species. Further examination shows that the egg shell has high concentration of an unknown polymer making it extremely flexible and impervious to rot or decay. Inside the egg lays the embryo of a parasitic creature wich will be referred as SCP-3586-1.

SCP-3586-1 appears to be an avian of unknown species, it has no feathers and its beak presents a needle like shape used to penetrate tissue and absorb fluids. All specimens are parasitic and unable to strive without a host. SCP-3586-1 can be removed from the host with a surgical operation. Showing no side effects and a complete recovery after a rest period.

Any sort of direct contact with SCP-3586, included video surveillance will cause any living organism with social structures to adopt SCP-3586 as its own offspring and will defend it with disregard for its own live until it hatches. Those affected by the mind altering properties of SCP-3586 will be referred as SCP-3586-2.

At any chance given to SCP-3586-2 to take SCP-3586 will result in SCP-3586-2 trying to protect it from anything that might be considered a threat to SCP-3586-2. It seems that the mind altering abilities of SCP-3586 can alter the perception of danger to SCP-3586-2 and previously good acquaintances of the subject will be attacked if they attempt to separate SCP-3586 from SCP-3586-2. Other types of interactions will continue without any variation, unless it presents any danger to SCP-3586. After SCP-3586 has been between 6-12 hours in protection of SCP-3586-2 it will begin to hatch making small fractures in the egg shell. SCP-3586-2 will then proceed to hold the egg in its mouth and wait for SCP-3586-1 to access its esofagus. When the esophagus is reached by SCP-3586-1 it will penetrate the muscle tissue and leech body fluids from its host. The incubation process will have a duration of around a week, with times varying between the species and state of the host. Once SCP-3586-1 is fully grown it will alter SCP-3586-2 stomach in order to create what seems to be a common Oviparous reproductive system. When this process is complete SCP-3586-2 will start creating multiple instances of SCP-3586, at a rate of 2 per day until it dies of malnutrition. Instances of SCP-3586 produced inside the body of SCP-3586-2 will be released through its mouth in a motion similar to regurgitation.

SCP-3586 was originally found at ██████ inside a small hut property of ████████████ . Reports of an unknown behaviour of ████████ family reached Dr. Wysman and a expedition was assigned two hours later. Field agents found the three dead bodies of the ████████ family laying in a corner of the hut. The bodies were extremely deformed with their mouths abnormally enlarged and showed severe symptoms of malnutrition. There were ███ instances of SCP-3586 spread around the hut and property of ████████████. Only 3 instances of SCP-3586 are stored in the facility due to safety and ease of research. The rest were incinerated at the facility and the remains are stored in █████████
