Item #: 5240 & 5240-1
(The Golden Fox)

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP 5240 is to be kept in an 18x18 foot cubic room made of stone. A birch bed frame and memory foam mattress in the corner of the room. With a single birch table and chair closest to the door. A rose bush created by SCP 5240 is to be within its room at all times. Water and plant food are to be provided. If the rose bush dies, see to it that [Containment Protocol 3] is to take place.

Containment Protocol 1: During a containment breach, SCP 5240 is to be locked in his room, with all lights turned on.

Containment Protocol 2: Should there be a power outage, SCP 5240 goes into a 'Tracking State'. The subject turns into 5240-1. A golden furred red fox, with a bite force of 200 pounds per square inch. Though it only appears to hunt animal-like organisms.

Containment Protocol 3: Should the rose bush in SCP 5240's room wilt or be injured in any way. 5240 is to be administrated amnesia (5 to 10 mL of xylazine (100 mg/ mL) and 15 to 20 mL of ketamine (100 mg/mL) to 1 liter of 5% guaifenesin.)
The plant is to be taken out of the room and nourished back to full health. (Must be returned to the room in no more than 37 days.) Failure to revive the plant will result in [REDACTED]

Description: SCP 5240 is a humanoid male ranging 5'7 in height, and weighs no more than 87 pounds. With a visual age of 17, though multiple tests show his age is around ████ years old. 5240 has caramel brown hair, that never grows past ear length, and golden eyes with cat-like vertical pupils. SCP 5240 is able to turn into a fox, the fur matching the same color as 5240s' hair. 5240-1 has golden markings along with the tail and neck, with glowing golden eyes. SCP 5240 will change into SCP 5240-1 when hungry or if it feels threatened, in this form they are classified as SCP 5240-1. 5240-1 was found in ██████ ██████, ██████ ██████. More suspected to be in the area.
Through several tests, SCP 5240 has shown abilities to rapidly heal 4x faster than an average human male. SCP 5240, when injured also bleeds gold. This gold has proven to be toxic to humans and other organisms but seems to have no effect on 5240 himself. SCP 5240-1, when touched by a living organism makes the creature obsessive and clingy to both SCP 5240 and SCP 5240-1, the person becomes aggressive if separated from 5240 or 5240-1. SCP 5240 does not carry the same effect as SCP 5240-1 when touched even though they are the same entity.

Test A - December 8th, 1983 - Conducted by Dr ██████

Subject: SCP 5240-1

Procedure One (1): Class-D has been permitted for a first time meeting of SCP 5240-1. 5240-1 showed high stress when approached by Class-D personal.

Results: D9250 approached 5240-1, to which the subject reacted with high stress. Backing itself into a corner and growling at D9250. Class-D showed no fear in the actions and continued approaching SCP 5240-1 until they came in contact with them. SCP 5240-1 became aggressive barking at and biting D9250s' left wrist and hand. After contact with SCP 5240-1, D9250 refused to leave, becoming clingy and aggressive when being taken away from SCP 5240-1. D9250 terminated after attacking guards to gain access to 5240-1.

Analysis: SCP 5240-1 seems to create a connection with those who touch it. Results with animals and humans alike show that after touching 5240-1, they became obsessive and clingy. They have been classified as SCP 5240-2. Even in their humanoid form SCP 5240-2 still seems obsessed with 5240. Though when SCP 5240 is touched in their humanoid form it has no leading effects.
