SCP-XXXX: Wolf Trapper (by Meissmart)
rating: 0+x

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be planted in a cube-shaped container with no upwards-facing wall. The container should be 2m x 2m x 2m in volume, have walls made of 5cm-thick concrete, and be filled with soil. A 2.4m x 2.4m x 4m enclosure made of 1cm-thick fiberglass is to be constructed on top of the soil container, with a circular hole 0.25m in diameter cut out of the top middle.

Personnel may enter and exit the room in order to feed the specimen. Feeding is performed by dropping an animal, dead or alive, between 8kg and 16kg, into the circular opening. Light sources must be built and controlled in such a way that they resemble a 24-hour daylight cycle.

A specimen discovered in nature is to be neutralized immediately. Neutralization procedure is to throw a large dead animal onto the specimen to test if it is alive. If the reflex occurs, wait 4 hours, then throw a live grenade onto the specimen. Repeat this cycle until the reflex does not occur, then set the specimen on fire.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a symbiotic relationship of two different living organisms, SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-1 is a dark purple flower, averaging 12cm in height, with a straight green stem, 2-4 leaves, and one large taproot. SCP-XXXX-2 is a dark brown organism composed mainly of a giant bulb split into two hemispheres across the top. The bulb represents a mouth, with each hemisphere being covered on the inner surface with sharp spines. Underneath the bulb is a springlike mechanism with a broad network of roots extending in all directions from it. SCP-XXXX-1's taproot attaches to the bottom of the bulb and extends through it to the other side, where its root connects with the spring mechanism.

SCP-XXXX-1 is capable of feeling major disturbance (such as touching and nudging), and such disturbance will trigger a nervous signal which travels down its taproot into SCP-XXXX-2's spring mechanism, immediately causing it to discharge. The bulb rapidly shoots upward until it breaches the surface of the earth, being pushed into an open state by the force of the spring. Immediately afterward, the spring recoils, causing the bulb to rapidly snap shut and then sink back underground. If the bulb catches a living organism, it begins to secrete digestive enzymes to break it down into nutrients that are eventually absorbed by SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2. Any disturbance that takes place does not trigger the spring reflex until digestion and absorption are complete.

There have been 9 recorded sightings of SCP-XXXX, with each specimen varying greatly in size. SCP-XXXX-1 and SCP-XXXX-2 are inversely proportional to each other in size: the smaller the flower, the larger the bulb. Its nickname comes from a sighting in ███ ██████, ██████████ when witness ██████ ██████reported that a wolf suddenly disappeared.
