Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX has been observed to only be calm under very specific containment conditions:

• The room must be no smaller than 13m by 10m by 4m
• The room must be kept at a constant temperature of 15°C
• While SCP-XXXX enjoys the sunlight, it has been observed to get particularly stressed if under light for too long, total darkness will comfort it
• SCP-XXXX needs regular, weekly sprays of water to keep it's coat stable and metallic parts operational
• SCP-XXXX can tolerate personnel in it's container for short periods of time before becoming aggressive and attacking. So far bullets have not affected it
• Despite this any personnel entering the container must either carry a weapon, or be accompanied by armed guards

Description: SCP-XXXX (aka The Dancing Pig) is a sentient pig costume originally used in the short film Le Cochon Danseur. Le Cochon Danseur (English: The Dancing Pig) is a silent, 4 minute, black-and-white burlesque film released in 1907 by French company Pathé. In the film, a giant anthropomorphic pig, dressed in human fancy clothes, dances with a girl, who later embarrasses him by tearing his clothes off. The two start to dance together, then walk into the curtains behind them. A disturbing scene is then shown where you see the pig moving his tongue and eyes around and then baring his teeth.
The costume is 6ft tall and weighs 120kg.
After the performance the costume was left in a storage room in ████████. Workers in the area could hear snuffling, oinking and the noise of boxes falling which raised suspicion in the workforce but many were too scared to see what was causing the noise, the storeroom was locked up for 98 years before being opened in 2005 by an unwitting employee. After the doors were opened SCP-XXX escaped and injured several members of staff, seriously wounding two and killing one. 20 minutes later SCP Agents arrived at the scene. The cleaner that opened the storeroom was brought in for investigation and interrogation.

Dr. ████████: [Don't be scared Monsier Bisset, we are only here to find out what happened. How long have you been working at the storehouse?]

Monsieur Bisset: [Since November 1987]

Dr. ████████:[And what jobs do you perform?]
Monsieur Bisset:[I just do general cleaning of the store rooms, locking up at night]
Dr. ████████:[Okay, can you tell me about store room 34?]
Monsieur Bisset:visibly shivers[When I first got my job, I was told to stay away from storeroom 34, there was something in there, noises and such. Oinking, which was weird. No one knew what was in there, and no one wanted to know. It was scary, at night when I would lock up I had to walk down that corridor past it in the dark I would hear squeals, grunts, and crashing noises…]
Dr. ████████:[I understand that at 20:13, 3 days ago, you opened the storeroom. What caused you to do this after so long?]
Monsieur Bisset:[One of our co workers was moving on to a better job, so the cleaning staff got together for a little celebration after work. I was intoxicated and decided to go and open the door to 34 to finally find out what was in there]
Dr. ████████:[How did that turn out?]
Monsieur Bisset:[I took the padlock off of the door, forcibly, and hesitated. That's when…that thing burst out, the door swung around and knocked me over, breaking my wrist]
Dr. ████████:[Go on]
Monsieur Bisset:[That creature, it ran on all fours into the room we were eating in, no one moved, we were all reasonably shocked. It knocked over a table and chairs while I assume searching for the exit. One elderly lady, I never really spoke to her much, was thrown off her feet by the beat and was knocked out…that wasn't the worst though…]
Dr. ████████:[What was the worst?]
Monsieur Bisset:[I can't go on]
Dr. ████████:[I must insist]
Monsieur Bisset:[Jacques, an old friend of mine tried, foolishly, to block the exit. The thing just rammed straight into him. He was thrown outside, along with the doors, and down the stairs, we found him there. Head cracked open, dead]
Dr. ████████:[How would describe this "creature"?]
Monsieur Bisset:[It looked…like a strange pig. It's skin was mouldy and leathery, as if decayed clothing. It's eyes and mouth were tattered, metal showing. Like those old abandoned animatronics]
Dr. ████████:[Exactly Mister Bisset. That is all we require of you, you will be escorted out. Have a pleasant day]
