SCP-XXXX: Homicide Inducing Guinea Pig

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a standard 30” x 36” habitat in a room with sufficient lighting and heated to a temperature between 16 and 24 degrees celsius. New food (fresh, sliced up fish) and water is to be added daily, and the cage is to be cleaned of feces weekly.

Description: SCP-XXXX apears do be a member of the species Cavia Porcellus, otherwise known as the guinea pig. The entity seems to belong to the abyssinian breed, and X-ray scans of it have suggested as such. SCP-XXXX seems to be virtually immortal, going into a torpor-like state when food and water are not available. The entity also has a lifespan much, much longer than that of the average guinea pig, as it seems to be about ██ years old. SCP-XXXX has shown carnivorous tendencies, preferring fresh meat and fish over vegetables. Despite this, SCP-XXXX has yet to attack any human.

SCP-XXXX’s anomalous proporties manifest when a human makes visual contact with it (photographs and video feeds do not activate SCP-XXXX’s effects). The subject will express a desire to pet SCP-XXXX. SUbjects have described the urge as small and fightable, however, the closer in proximity the subject is to SCP-XXXX, the stronger the urge becomes. When the subject moves within 1 meter of SCP-XXXX, the urge becomes unbearably strong, and the subject will become violent if they are prevented from touching the entity, even resorting to [DATA EXPUNGED].

Subjects who make physical contact with SCP-XXXX (now referred to as SCP-XXXX-1) immediately begin to show signs of increased irritation, and will verbally assault any human that they can see. After about 2 minutes, SCP-XXXX-1 will begin to laugh hysterically and babble incoherently, continuing to stroke SCP-XXXX. At this stage, the subject will scream at any humans it sees until it passes out or the human is removed from visual range.

After 10 minutes have passed, SCP-XXXX-1 will physically attack any humans it can find, using any means necessary to kill them, including picking up any object that could be used as weapon. After killing its target, SCP-XXXX-1 will usually abandon the body, going off to search for a new target. Subjects in 4█% of cases have [DATA EXPUNGED] after killing their target. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 will carry SCP-XXXX with them the whole time, going to extreme lengths to protect it from being taken away. SCP-XXXX-1 will often starve to death shortly after touching the entity, even if fed.

SCP-XXXX was discovered in 20██ when reports of an insane man talking to a hamster surfaced in [REDACTED]. The foundation was contacted when the police apprehending the suspect also seemingly went insane.

Subjects who touch the entity using gloves or other means of protection have shown anomalous levels of boredom and disgust towards SCP-XXXX after contact is made, as can be seen in the attached experiment logs.

Addendum-XXXX-a: Testing of SCP-XXXX has been temporarily suspended until we know more about it’s psychological effects. -05
