SCP-4376 "Bubbles"

SCP-4376

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-4376 must be kept in a 15m by 15m by 10m concrete room with a ceiling, floor and walls padded with foam so SCP-4376 does not physically injure itself due to its lack of control over its anomalous properties. The room is not to have anything except for SCP-4376, SCP-4396 and a small, easy-access dog bed inside at any given time without proper approval, including food and personnel.

Description:
SCP-4679 is a light gray collar with the name “Bubbles” engraved into it. It grows and shrinks to meet the size of its host, but this is the least noteworthy of its anomalous properties. When SCP-4376 is vocally referred to as a name, its host will change and shape itself to become what the name it was called describes. If away from a host for █ hours, it will quickly return to the neck of its most recent host.
SCP-4376 appears to enjoy being tested upon, as anyone who has tested with it while testing it can confirm.
SCP-4376 was first brought to the Foundation’s attention by a man in ███████, Illinois. He said he went to get his dog, bubbles, a new collar from ███████. He put the collar on the dog, and drove home. When he decided to take his dog for a walk, he called it, and as soon as he did so, the dog became a Toy Poodle and began to “float away.” The Foundation was informed, the owner was given an amnestic, and SCP-4376 was contained.

The following is a list of testing with SCP-4376.

Addendum 1

Dr. ██████ referred to SCP-4376 as “SCP-4376” out loud while speaking with fellow staff. Security cameras picked up SCP-4376 dropping to the ground and becoming affected by gravity, becoming a border collie, and the name tag on its collar changing to “SCP-4376”. Another staff member said to Dr. ██████ that he thought the name tag read “Bubbles.” As soon as they said this, SCP-4376 reverted back to the way it was before. A mentionable notice is that the border collie is the most intelligent breed of dog known to exist. From this point forward SCP-4376 is to be referred to as “bubbles” as its name tag reads when referring to it out loud in order to avoid another circumstance such as this one.

Addendum 2

Dr. ████████ , a new member of staff, referred to SCP-4376 as “buddy” mistakenly one day, believing that was what it was to be referred to as. SCP-4376 immediately was pulled back to earth by gravity, morphed into a labrador retriever puppy, and became friendly towards Dr. ████████ with its tail wagging. Another noticeable trait is that the name tag changed to read “buddy.” After a brain scan, SCP-4376’s brain seemed to produce an increased amount of serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine.

Addendum 3

Dr. Kellosh decided to attempt removing the collar from SCP-4376-1, who reacted by defending the collar violently. The collar was eventually removed, and when it was SCP-4386 reverted into a shiba inu, and appeared visibly confused, as if it had never seen the facility before. The shiba inu responded to “bubbles”.
The collar should henceforth be referred to as SCP-4376 and the Shiba inu as SCP-4376-1.

Addendum 4

SCP-4376 was put on by D-13897 and referred to as “David.” D-13897 immediately morphed into a perfect replica of Dr. David █████, who was surprised to say the least. D-13897 was then referred to as “the D-Class” and morphed into the first d-class ever tested on in facility ██, D-███. SCP-4376 was removed, and D-13897 reverted back to their normal self. Then asked about testing, D-14897 claimed to have no memory of the testing. D-13897 then returned to the D-Class barracks. SCP-4276’s containment cell was modified to meet the new Special Containment Procedures.

Addendum 5

SCP-4376 was placed on a deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and referred to as “Bambi’s Mom.” A loud gunshot sounded from inside the chamber, and a bullet-sized hole appeared in the deer’s chest. The deer was immediately blasted backwards, as if it had been shot with a hunting rifle. It bled to death within █ minutes. It was then referred to as “jerky” by Dr. James, who hated the Foundation and intended to quit later that day. The deer’s flesh curled up in strips, and salt bubbled up from the flesh with no clear pattern. Where the salt appeared from is unknown.
Note: Requesting permission to take home some of the jerky. - Dr. James
Note: Request denied. - Dr. ██████

Addendum 6

SCP-4376 was placed on a piece of granite and referred to as “Fluffy.” No clear changes. The same experiment was placed on a small mound of dirt, water in a ceramic bowl and a block of concrete with the same result. However, when placed on a brick made from Mycelium, the brick quickly grew external “fuzz” from mycelium. This may be because Mycelium bricks are made of living material.

Addendum 7

SCP-4376 was placed on a chunk of frozen ground beef and referred to as “Chunky.’ The ground beef did not move. The test was replicated with loin, sirloin and a full cow corpse with the same effect. From these tests it can be inferred that SCP-4376 does not change deceased organic material. However, this does not explain how the deer from Addendum 4 became “free jerky” when referred to as such. Perhaps the corpse still being fresh had something to do with it. Perhaps its death being directly caused by SCP-4376 had something to do with it.

Addendum 8

SCP-4376 was placed on an SCP-111 (an “oozedrake”) and referred to as “Turbo.” SCP-111 became incredibly quick, up to speeds as fast as instances of SCP-131. however, the SCP’s slime acted was set on fire by the friction caused by SCP-111’s increased movement speed. The fires were extinguished. SCP-4376 was removed and both SCP subjects were returned to their respective holding chambers.

Addendum 9

SCP-4376 was placed on its original host and asked to wag its tail. It did so without hesitation. It was also asked to sit, lay down, come, heel, and shake hands, all of which it did immediately. It can be inferred that SCP-4376 either gives its hosts intelligence, or is sentient and in complete or partial control of its hosts. SCP-4376’s original host was then asked if it had ever killed anyone before. It shook its head “no.” it is unknown whether this is because of a leak in the chamber ceiling that drops in water, or because it did not believe it had ever killed another creature before. Object reclassification to euclid due to sentience has been discussed and dismissed.
