+Item #: SCP-XXXX
+Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be housed in a 3m x 4m window-less, carpeted room in Site-42. Room should contain a small dog bed and three (3) hiding places; two (2) 1m x 1.5m cardboard boxes, and one (1) extra small oak-based doghouse with a 10.5 cm thick cotton floor. The room’s lights are set to match the actual time of day outside. This is to be accomplished through use of color changing lights embedded in the room’s walls and ceiling. AV cameras are to be placed within both SCP-XXXX's containment chamber and the neighboring “garden” for surveillance purposes
Testing has revealed that SCP-XXXX was successfully trained to use a litter box, presumably prior to its recovery. How this was achieved is currently unknown, as evidence has shown that SCP-XXXX’s anomalous properties likely manifested either at birth or sometime within the first 3 weeks.
SCP-XXXX is to be given access to a botanical room adjacent to it’s containment chamber for 6.5 hours four times a week. Staff is to grant access to the botanical room via a remote controlled door installed in the right-side wall of SCP-XXXX's containment chamber. Said garden must include a variety of vegetables and fruits that are native to the North-Western United States, and have at least 1.5 sq.m of Hierochloe odorata (Vanilla grass).
During SCP-XXXX's time in the site’s “garden”, all cameras in the garden should be disabled until the designated 6.5 hours have elapsed and it has been confirmed via thermal cameras that SCP-XXXX has returned to it’s containment chamber.
Food should be provided once daily at 9:34am, and should consist of: 5 lbs timothy hay, 9 oz. 23% fiber pellets that are no more than 5 weeks old, and given a variety of herbs, fruits, and/or vegetables that are in line with the diet of non-anomalous Oryctolagus cuniculus (domestic rabbit) no less than twice weekly. Food will be provided by two Level 3 or higher agents. One agent is to put food items into a double-doored titanium box on the outside of SCP-XXXX’s containment area that connects to the inside of the chamber’s front wall. The second agent is to remotely open and close the inside and outside door, so as to ensure that direct contact with SCP-XXXX is avoided.
Cameras inside SCP-XXXX’s containment chamber are set to be shut down for 5 minutes once every 2 hrs, 17 mins, and 43 secs. At least 2 legally blind personnel and 1 sight-impaired agent, all with backgrounds in electrical engineering, must be stationed in the viewing room at all times in case the camera timer malfunctions. In the event that the timer cannot be fixed before the next shut down, the room is to be locked from the inside and the team is to wait until sounds of wood chewing are heard. As SCP-XXXX appears to be very time-oriented, feeding times and amount of time spent in the "garden" is to be tightly monitored, due to the fact that SCP-XXXX greatly dislikes changes to said schedule.
As SCP-XXXX’s teeth never cease growing, as is expected of others in it’s order, several (4-13) crabapple-wood chew toys are to be available in its containment chamber at all times and should be restocked when necessary. These items are to be bought from “[REDACTED] Shop”, a pet store located in [REDACTED], OR, USA.
Description: SCP-XXXX appears to be a male domestic Lionhead rabbit, weighing 1.4kg (3.08647 lbs), with an agouti coat coloration. Subject’s anatomy and biology are that of a non-anomalous one-year old house rabbit of the same breed. Subject’s age is unknown, as it appears to be only a year old, atypical events that strongly correlate to SCP-XXXX’s anomalous properties were occuring in [REDACTED], OR, for more than four (4) years, and no other instances of SCP-XXXX have been found.
It has been determined that SCP-XXXX’s anomalous traits only manifest after someone has viewed the subject directly for more than 2 minutes. Testing has shown that it is nearly impossible to look away from SCP-XXXX, and that the only method so far is to severely injure the viewer before the 2 minutes have passed. It is worth noting that if the person has already touched SCP-XXXX, there is no known way to get them to stop looking at the subject.
The moment SCP-XXXX enters someone’s eye sight, the viewer will immediately start vocalizing in a higher pitch while commenting on how cute, adorable, small, fluffy, etc. the subject is. SCP-XXXX seems to understand that it is being complimented, and will proceed to display happiness through known positive rabbit behaviors, such as running quickly in a circle and tossing it's head and twisting its torso while jumping. Subject will then start to circle the viewer’s feet, occasionally standing up on its hind legs and looking up at the viewer, causing them to start vocalizing their joy a bit louder as their nose starts to scrunch up and their cheek muscles lift until they start to obstruct their vision.
The viewer will then try to pick up or hold SCP-XXXX, usually succeeding. If the subject thumps its hind legs, showing it does not want to be held, the viewer will instead lay next to the subject, not showing any signs of wanting physical contact with SCP-XXXX. Curiously, SCP-XXXX will almost always allow the viewer to pick it up, only ever resisting if the viewer’s hands are dirty, though if hand sanitizer is used, then it accepts being held.
After 2 minutes have passed since SCP-XXXX entered eye sight, viewer’s nose will continue to scrunch until their nose is broken and the bone pushed further into the skull. The viewer will smile to the point that their cheek muscles will continue to lift as well as swell excessively due to an almost overdose of dopamine in their brain. The cheeks will then completely cover the eyes and start to fuse with the upper eyelids. Elevated serotonin levels result in the following symptoms: heavy perspiration, shivering, high fever, and hallucinations. Soon the heart starts beating at anywhere from 80-100 beats faster than is normal. Lungs will start to shrink until they reach an eighth of their original size. The viewer then suffers a heart attack, letting go of SCP-XXXX or backing away a bit, about 30 seconds before they expire. This process has been observed to take anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes, though the reason behind why this varies, is currently unknown.
Throughout this process, the viewer will continue to say how cute SCP-XXXX is, and they appear to be completely oblivious to the trauma their body is going through. Whether this is due to SCP-XXXX’s anomalous properties causing the viewer to continue to compliment and smile at the subject despite the pain, or the viewer simply can’t feel the pain at all, is still being debated. The viewer will also keep a gentle hold of SCP-XXXX and/or maintain a smile throughout the entire process.
This effect does not occur when viewing SCP-XXXX through a photograph or camera, though if SCP-XXXX is watched via video while bathing or eating, its anomalous properties manifest in all who witness it. Those who are blind or cannot clearly see SCP-XXXX are immune and remain unaffected.
SCP-XXXX has shown signs of possessing a higher intelligence than is normal for it’s species and acts out when upset and/or hungry. See Incident Log XXXX-A. Because of this, the “garden” next to it’s chamber was built and it is allowed 1 visit from another rabbit every 2 weeks, though they are to be confirmed as spayed/neutered.

SCP-XXXX was discovered in [REDACTED], OR. by Agent Baruan.
Interview Log-XXXX-1
Interviewed: Agent Baruan
Interviewer: Dr. Maliski
Foreword: Interview conducted shortly after Agent Baruan discovered and brought SCP-XXXX into Foundation custody
< Begin Log >
Dr. Maliski: {Hello Agent. You up for answering some questions?}
Agent Baruan:{Not like I have much of a choice, am I right?}
Dr. Maliski: {You’re right. So, can you tell me what you saw out there?}
Agent Baruan: Agent looks visibly anxious and takes a sip of water.{I guess I’ll have to talk about at some point, huh?}
Dr. Maliski:{ Yes, but you can take as much time as you need. I understand you’ve been through a lot.}
Agent Baruan: {Thanks Doc.} Agent takes another sip and a deep breath.
Agent Baruan:{I was in the area at the time investigating possible instances of SCP- [REDACTED] I happened to overhear some of the the locals talking about how “this is the 2nd family to go this year”. I asked some questions, got some strange answers. Turned out that families had been dying inexplicably for the past 4 years, though it only happened like 2 or 3 times a year and the cause of death was from heart attacks, so the general public had assumed it was genetics or just bad luck. Idiots. I mean, if that kind of [Expletive] was happening in my neighborhood, I’d at least be suspicious. Then again, most people don’t know that there really are monsters under the bed and that Bigfoot is real. Lucky.}
Dr. Maliski:{You’re quite right, but can we get back to what happened in Oregon?}
Agent Baruan: {Right, right. Sorry. That. Well, you see, after I did some investigating, I figured that, if there’s something out there killing whole families in one night and making it look like a bunch of heart attacks, I probably shouldn’t go it alone. You know? So I told the Foundation that I’d need some back up. They sent in Mobile Task Force-μ, West Coast Sluggers, which I gotta say, I like their code name. Anyway, once they got there, we headed to the most recent family’s house. After we bypassed the cops and entered the house, I saw an indoor hutch, a bunch of bags of pet hay, and small pet food pellets. Their fridge was still full of fruits and veggies. It was like they were expecting to bring a rabbit home, but everything looked new and completely unused. We found no trace of an animal in the whole house… }Agent hesitates and takes another drink of water, looking very nervous.
Dr. Maliski:{Do you need a moment Agent Baruan?}
Agent Baruan:{I-I’m fine Doc. I’m fine. Where was I? Oh yeah. Well, the next day, I was walking around the neighborhood, trying to see if there were any leads or clues. Then this blonde, middle-aged woman who I guess lived a block over from the house we’d investigated, was screaming bloody murder. It was like she was on fire or drowning, like her life was at stake. I ran over to where I heard her and I saw her continue to scream as she exited her home before suffering a heart attack. She looked fine, but I guess whatever she saw just made her heart stop. Can’t say I blame her. I guess everyone was at work or school, since it was like 11am on a Tuesday and no one was in sight. MTF-μ arrived shortly after I called them and as we looked into the house, I noticed that the whole place also looked as though the residents were expecting to get a rabbit. Hutch, hay, veggies, chew toys, the works. We tried seeing if anyone was still alive or if whatever monstrosity caused this was still there. Some of the MTF members went upstairs to check the rooms for anything, while I and one of the other members, who wore glasses, Steve I think his name was, stayed and checked the downstairs. I heard the the other members upstairs scream, but then they “awww”’d very loudly. The other member and me walked up the stairs and…}Agent bites lip and takes 3 deep breaths.
Dr. Maliski:{Agent?}
Agent Baruan:{I’m okay. It's just…We found a teenaged boy with a swollen face, fused shut eyes, and this…. Smile. God, that damn smile is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. His grin was so wide that his cheeks were fused to his eyelids. I… then I saw what he was holding. He had a that photo} Agent motions to the photograph of SCP-XXXX on the table. {in his hand, and I decided to grab it in case it was important or whatever. But the worst thing… was watching the members of MTF-μ start to aww and baby talk while their faces and bodies became more and more swollen. I was so confused when I heard them start saying things like “cute” and “adorable”. Then… I saw it. That thing is not normal. I saw it and all I wanted to do was hold it and pet it. I couldn’t see anything else except that rabbit. It was so cute and fluffy. I reached out to pick it up, but then Steve grabbed my arm so hard it broke. The pain snapped me out of it and I stepped away until I couldn’t see that rabbit-shaped beast. I just watched as the others died what looked like horrible, painful deaths with smiles on their faces, complimenting a monster. After that, Steve grabbed a nearby filing cabinet drawer while I grabbed the heaviest blanket I could find. We placed some of the veggies in the drawer and waited until we heard it’s nails on the metal.}
Dr. Maliski:{May I ask, what happened to Steve?}
Agent Baruan:{H-he… he didn’t make it. When we heard the creature get in the drawer, I wasn’t fast enough with the blanket and it stuck it’s head out. Steve shielded my eyes and handed me his glasses so that everything was blurry. It was too late anyway. He had already seen it. I shoved the blanket over the drawer with blurry vision and we struggled to quickly tape the blanket to the drawer as he kept trying to fight the urge to hold the thing. Then, he started “aww”ing and cooing at the blanket, his smile getting creepily wide. I ran out of there as he curled up on the floor, saying how cute the thing was. I guess it had been two minutes.}
Dr. Maliski:{Thank you, Agent. You are free to go. And my condolences.}
Agent Baruan:{Thanks, Doc.}

Closing Statement: Following this interview it was revealed that the photo of SCP-XXXX the boy was holding was at least seven (7) years old. Further analysis is still being done to determine exactly where SCP-XXXX originates.
+ Incident Log XXXX-A
The two level 3 personnel tasked with feeding SCP-XXXX are late for SCP-XXXX's designated 9:34am feeding time. Subject is shown to be confused at first, and tilts head from left to right. After 6 minutes, subject is shown to be getting agitated, thumping its back legs and growling. After 17 minutes have elapsed, SCP-XXXX looks straight into the nearest camera and starts cleaning itself, over 45 minutes earlier than it normally would. This is then followed by SCP-XXXX's self-cleaning being broadcast onto every screen on it's floor with a message in blue bubble letters "Feed Me Dang it". This incident surprisingly resulted in only major injuries and no deaths, bringing into question if SCP-XXXX can control its anomalous traits.
