Item No: SCP-XXXX

Containment Level: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a 15x10x15 meter soundproofed chamber. It is allowed one hour "walks" around the site, provided it has displayed cooperation with staff. On these walks it is to be accompanied by no less than three armed security personnel and when possible, its psychiatrist Dr. [REDACTED]. Every three days it is to be seen by Dr. [REDACTED] for psychotherapy. It is also on a standard school curriculum coinciding with its age (five years). SCP-XXXX's chamber is outfitted with small, remote control nozzles in a grid pattern on the floor, and remote control whistles pitched at 76 kHz. SCP-XXXX is to never be exposed to human blood, especially by scent. SCP-XXXX is to be fed a minimum of 35 kilograms of raw beef, and up to 25 kilograms of other raw meats if requested. SCP-XXXX has made previous requests for additions to its containment:

Assorted chew toys: Approved
One kickball (rubber): Approved
Various picture books: Approved
Several medical texts: Approved
A desk and chair: Approved
A ball of braided Kevlar rope: Approved

Item Description: SCP-XXXX is a biological anomaly possessing a direct influence on animal cells, including its own. It has two "bodies" it prefers. Its base form is 1.2 meters tall to the shoulder, with its its neck horizontal with it. It is 1.6 meters in length with a meter long tail,. It is entirely covered in bone of unique composition that is far harder than human bone, more suitable for an exoskeleton. Beneath approximately 1.2 cm of plate is a thick hide. SCP-XXXX possesses four large hearts, four large lungs, and one very large stomach containing an unidentified super-acid with a pH of -4 to -6. SCP-XXXX lacks an identifiable brain. Average healthy weight for SCP-XXXX is 400 kilograms. The head is 40cm long and is rounded at the end, featuring only a large mouth which possesses three rows of carnivorous teeth. SCP-XXXX's forelimbs articulate like human arms and hands, but rather than fingers it has long claws, the longest of which is 13 cm. The torso is shaped like a large canine. SCP-XXXX's hind legs are extremely sturdy and strong. It has a tail that is 1 meter long and appears to be made of vertebrae-esque segments, which match the dorsal segments. Tail ends in a broad double edged blade that tapers to a point. SCP-XXXX's primary social form is a young girl, aged 5, which according to it, mirrors its actual age. This body is wiry, somewhat pale, and has brown hair and brown eyes. The girl is one meter tall. SCP-XXXX claims this is the first human body it learned. When questioned further about this claim it became distressed (See interview XXXX-a).

SCP-XXXX was acquired by the Foundation when several reports of a monster were filed in [DATA EXPUNGED], West Virginia. MTF Gamma-16 “Kingfishers” was dispatched to investigate when reports began to include mutilated livestock. SCP-XXXX had cried for help while it was being chased by a shirtless man with a knife. The man was shot dead, and when the crying girl was inspected it was found that she had been stabbed 27 times in the chest and belly. Upon the wounds' subsequent rapid healing, SCP-XXXX was tranquilized and brought into Foundation custody.

SCP-XXXX's demeanor is that of an excitable, happy, though somewhat troubled child with heavy canine influence. It often expresses happiness when personnel it is familiar with enter its chamber, and is known to tackle persons in greeting in the same manner a large dog might. SCP-XXXX almost always readily complies with orders,
and is elated when praised. It is especially excited when it is to be interviewed, as it expresses happiness and a desire to interact with people. It displays distress when chastised, often assuming a prone position with its foreclaws over where its eyes are expected to be. SCP-XXXX displays an immense fear of fire, likely due to a traumatic experience in its past (See interview XXXX-b). SCP-XXXX also shows great pain when exposed to high frequency noises, such as a dog whistle. Dog whistles are not permitted for any personnel except under testing conditions, or an A-Event, which is caused by exposure to human blood.

SCP-XXXX is often observed playing with its chew toys or ball of kevlar in a cat-like manner. It
Has excellent focus on its schoolwork, but averages at a B with individual work. When Dr. [REDACTED] began to act as its tutor it averaged at an A+, which indicates its social nature and reliance, not unlike an actual human toddler, or even the need for attention shown by puppies.

Interview XXXX-a: 5/7/20—
Interviewer: Dr. [REDACTED]
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX (Human)
Forward: This was SCP-XXXX's first interview. It is accompanied by 4 security personnel for the Dr. [REDACTED]'s safety.
D: Hello, XXXX. How are you feeling?
*SCP-XXXX immediately tackles Dr. [REDACTED]. Guards nearly open fire but halt when it is seen it is hugging him and crying.*
SCP-XXXX: T-Thank you misters! T-Thank you for saving me!
D: XXXX, please return to your seat.
*SCP-XXXX complies, sniffling and smiling.*
D: XXXX, what happened when MTF found you?
*SCP-XXXX appears distressed.*
SCP-XXXX: A-A man said he would give me food… and I was very hungry so I… Followed him and he…
*SCP-XXXX is too distressed to continue this line of dialogue.*
D: You said you learned your first body. What does that mean?
SCP-XXXX: Uh… I can… Read the things that make things! Yeah! I mean, did you know that everything alive is made out of teeny tiny living things?! And those listen to me if I tell them to do something!
*SCP-XXXX displays a hand which morphs into its natural claw. Upon security personnel readying firearms it immediately morphs back.*
D: I… See… But how did you learn the body?
*SCP-XXXX stalls its speech, goes to the corner of the room and covers its head, assuming a fetal > position. It is extremely distressed, and due to its unresponsiveness, the interview was ended early.
Due to its extreme weight, it had to be left under guard until it became responsive and re-entered its containment.

Interview XXXX-b: 5/8/20—
Interviewer: Researcher [REDACTED]
Interviewee: SCP-XXXX (Human)
Forward: SCP-XXXX has become more emotionally stable and is now willing to talk about its fear of fire.
SCP-XXXX: Hi! What’re we talkin’ about today? Are we gonna play? Can we play fetch? I like fetch!
[SCP-XXXX greets [REDACTED] happily, catching her off guard.]
R: No, SCP-XXXX. Maybe if you’re a good girl and tell us why you’re afraid of fire, we might.
SCP-XXXX: F-Fire? Where!?
[SCP-XXXX is distressed and looks around frantically.]
R: Calm down, XXXX. There’s no fire here. We just want to know why you are afraid of it.
[SCP-XXXX complies, settling down.]
SCP-XXXX: Last year, I was walking around in the mountains… Um… the Appa… App…
R: The appalachian mountains?
SCP-XXXX: Yeah! Those! Anyway, I was walking around them. I was cold and I couldn’t talk good yet. I was really cold and really hungry… I hadn’t eaten anything more than a few squirrels and birds for the past two weeks. I… I heard a goat and I jumped for it. While I was eating it someone shouted and my b-back exploded open!
[SCP-XXXX dramatically spreads its hands for effect, but it is visibly shaken and distressed.]
SCP-XXXX: I was so low on mass I couldn’t fix myself… I… They took me and dragged me to a place that smelled like burning and felt like wood and put more stuff on top of me. Then everything got warm. It was nice at first. Then it got warmer… and warmer… and then hot… and… and hotter and then… thien it hurt so much… it hurt and I felt my insides boiling. I had resealed my carapace but it b-burst under the pressure and… It hurt it all hurt so much I was howling and screaming for help but no one came and I kept burning and hurting and…
[SCP-XXXX has a breakdown and sobs uncontrollably. Due to its weight it is unable to be moved by personnel. It wanders over to [REDACTED] and hugs her tightly.]
Closing statement: [REDACTED]’s request for a child psychiatrist has been granted on the grounds that SCP-XXXX’s mental stability will make containment safer.

Incident report 5/3/20—
Forward: The following report describes an A-Event, which is as of yet the only observed circumstance that makes SCP-XXXX aggressive outside of hunting scenarios. D-90747 had been selected to positively reinforce certain behaviors in SCP-XXXX when the incident occurred.
<Begin Log>
[Subject is visibly distressed. The thick chamber door is opened.]
SCP-XXXX: Hi!
[Its base form bounds over to the subject, running around him with its tail wagging back and forth.]
SCP-XXXX: What’s going on?
[It comes to a stop, sitting on its haunches in front of the subject.]
D-90747: Hey there… Uh… I’ve been told that you’ve been a good girl.
SCP-XXXX: Really?
[Its tail begins to thump the ground intensely. D-90747 approaches cautiously and pats it on the head, which makes SCP-XXXX thump the ground harder.]
D-90747: Yes…
[Subject is distressed by the appearance of SCP-XXXX. He retracts his hand, following the next procedure when he stumbles forward and falls to the ground. His nose hits SCP-XXXX and is broken, with blood running from it. SCP-XXXX snarls and smashes his head into the floor, biting his right side open and consuming internal organs before eventually consuming the rest of the subject piece by piece. SCP-XXXX roars and leaps at the observation window, breaking through and killing then consuming the staff on the inside. Its tail whips around violently, cutting into a control panel and causing it to catch fire. When security personnel enter the observation room, SCP-XXXX is found cowering from the small fire, scratching at the wall opposite it as if trying to get it to open. It vocalizes distressed whimpering and apologies.]
Closing statement: Six personnel were killed in the incident. SCP-XXXX was completely compliant, albeit totally silent, only whimpering when addressed outside of a direct order. It was returned to its containment without incident after the corpse had been cleaned. SCP-XXXX is not to be exposed to human blood except under testing conditions.

Addendum XXXX-1
SCP-XXXX has expressed great interest in helping foundation personnel in any way it can. It has requested to act as or assist in the following:

Medical staff
Guard duty
Experimentation with other SCPs
Field medic
MTF Theta-5 “Wolfpack” Mascot
Befriending SCP-682

As of this time, all requests have been denied. However, potential medical applications of SCP-XXXX are currently under review (See addendum XXXX-2).

Addendum XXXX-2: Documentation of the Damage Test Experiment:
Forward: SCP-XXXX was fully briefed on the nature of this experiment and reluctantly complied under the notion that it would be helping the Foundation majorly. Dr. [REDACTED] was on standby for counselling after the test.

SCP-XXXX was first subjected to small arms fire, starting at .22 LR, then 9mm Parabellum, followed by .45 ACP and 5.56. The last two used were 7.62 and 30.06. Only the 30.06 was able to puncture its carapace, which summarily repaired itself in approximately 6.72 seconds. The final test was to fire 10 12 gauge slugs at its side. The resulting craters took 7 minutes to heal.

Conclusion: SCP-XXXX's regenerative capabilities are pending further testing, until it is willing to undergo the nest experiment, which has been promised to not involve harm to it.

Addendum XXXX-3: Documentation of the “Sick Dog” Event:
SCP-XXXX began to complain of a loud, painful sound while tending to its schoolwork. Every automatic whistle was checked and none were found to be activated. SCP-XXXX begins to vomit blood and tissues later found to be its human larynx as well as esophageal tissues. This caused to to grasp and claw at its throat. As it clawed it began to slam its head into the wall, then floor until it was nearly destroyed. Three security personnel were dispatched to attempt to restrain SCP-XXXX with heavy duty man-catchers. After this it began to make its canine vocalizations, namely howling. Soon, it began to transform, seemingly unwillingly, into its base form. It had previously stated that it disabled pain receptors to transform. Evidently that did not happen this time. Once it had fully transformed, it had stopped convulsing and vomiting. It got up, tilted its head, and began to paw at the door. Upon questioning by the security personnel it was discovered that SCP-XXXX had lost sapience, retaining the intelligence of an average Border Collie. It remained this way for two days, upon suddenly regaining it, not aware of the time passed. When questioned about what happened, it became distressed and stated that it did not know, but didn’t want it to happen again. SCP-XXXX’s containment is now to be soundproofed.

Addendum XXXX-4: After last week’s incident, personnel are no longer permitted to play “tug of war” with SCP-XXXX. As of now, fetch and tag are still permitted. Personnel are still permitted to enter SCP-XXXX’s containment at any time with permission from any level 2 personnel, provided that they report any abnormalities in SCP-XXXX’s behaviour. Dr. Bright, however, is no longer allowed to play fetch or tag with SCP-XXXX.
