Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:

---

Description: SCP-XXXX is a black, female goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) of indeterminate breed. While SCP-XXXX is known to have existed since at least 16██, it, as well as instances of SCP-XXXX-1, does not show any signs of senescence. Neither SCP-XXXX nor instances of SCP-XXXX-1 can be injured by any means, although they are still vulnerable to the effects of most drugs. In particular, all tested sedatives and amnestics have been as effective with SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 instances as they are known to be on other members of their respective species.

SCP-XXXX will come into estrus at unpredictable intervals. Periods of estrus have been known to last between 6 seconds and 144 hours, and be separated by periods of 1 hour to 2 years¹. The median length of estrus is 48 hours, and the median period between estruses is 32 hours.

While SCP-XXXX is in estrus, all "valid males"² within 30 meters of SCP-XXXX and aware of its presence will be compelled to engage in reproductive behavior³ with SCP-XXXX. In humans, this effect manifests as sexual attraction towards SCP-XXXX accompanied by invasive sexual thoughts. The effect increases in intensity over time. The effect ends immediately when either the subject is removed from the range of the effect, SCP-XXXX comes out of estrus, or the subject ceases to be a "valid male".

Footnotes

1. Domestic goats have periods of estrus lasting 12-36 hours on an approximately 21 day cycle.

2. A "valid male" is defined to be any sexually mature male or hermaphroditic organism that is biologically capable of directed reproductive behavior and currently able to produce viable sperm.

3. Depending on the species of the affected organism, this usually includes entails, cloacal copulation, or exchange of spermatophores.
