Hongo de Caminar - jimbogabon

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:
Because of the strange nature and abilities of SCP-XXXX, its containment is a struggle. The creature is contained in a small steel box within a cell. The box is attached to the floor by several steel chains and elastic bands. Only one person can enter the cell at a time; any more and SCP-XXXX’s container will begin thrashing around and attempting to run towards the nearest human. The reasoning for this is unknown.

Description: SCP-XXXX, nicknamed Hongo de Caminar (Walking Fungus), arrived sometime between 20__ and 20__. An exact date is unknown. The creature is somewhat humanoid with puffy, almost fungus-like skin with a slight green glow. Class-D personnel have reported the skin having a texture similar to the average mushroom. It spends most of its time writhing around in its container. If any object comes in contact with SCP-XXXX, said object will sprout legs and begin walking around. These objects lose their mobility when they come in contact with water. These objects are typically harmless but there have been some cases of hostile behavior. One example being when SCP-XXXX broke into a house and curiously touched one of the knives on the rack. After crashing through to window, this kitchen knife began running throughout the neighborhood slaughtering anyone and anything in its path. The knife stopped its rampage when it slipped through a crack on a bridge and landed in the river below. It is unknown if any of these objects have any sentience, but they seem to focus most of their attention on humans. SCP-XXXX seems to act like a puppy when close to humans. Despite this, if any living human with legs comes in contact with SCP-XXXX, it will have an effect on their body similar to an adult tooth growing where a baby tooth has yet to be pulled. In most cases, said human’s leg joints, muscles, and ligaments with disconnect from the human’s pelvis area as a new set of legs grows from their body. This causes immense pain as the human’s “baby legs” are torn from the body. SCP-XXXX has been known to use this ability to heal people with injured legs, regrow the legs of people who have lost them, and grow legs on people who were born without them. Strangely enough, no blood loss occurs during this process. These regrown legs seem to have enhanced strength and mobility. Further study of these legs show a lack of blood vessels making them seem almost robotic.
