Special Containment Procedures: At this time, SCP-7474 is uncontained.

Description: SCP-7474 is a bulky yellow rabbit animatronic with blue eyes, a dim purple bowtie, two black buttons on its belly, fleshy innards, and hundreds of sharp teeth underneath it's outer set of big, white, square teeth. Certain Foundation personnel have noted that this description is very similar to ████████████ from the book titled ████ ███ ███, specifically [REDACTED].

SCP-7474 can appear with seemingly no pattern or specific trigger, usually at night. It has been described to act differently with each person who encountered it. Several tests have resulted in the appearance of SCP-7474, and there have been other reported sightings of it as well. Cameras cannot be used in tests due to SCP-7474's apparent ability to render cameras attempting to spot it temporarily unusable. The sightings of SCP-7474 can be found below.

Encounter 1: Outside of testing

An anonymous family was sleeping at their campsite when the oldest son heard unnatural noises outside of his tent. He grabbed his flashlight to go investigate, and he saw SCP-7474 sitting on the grass and looking up at the stars, its back pointed towards the boy. SCP-7474 didn't seem to notice the boy shining his flashlight at it for a little while until it spoke.

"Beautiful, aren't they? All those white specs in the night sky and we're still not satisfied with the light they give us." SCP-7474's voice was a mixture of sounding like an average adult male and sounding like a deep-voiced monster.
"Uhm, yeah sure," the boy replied.
SCP-7474 then turned to face the boy with its bright blue eyes. It then patted a spot next to it.
"Come sit with me, little one."
The boy, too scared of what might happen if he refused, quickly sat down next to SCP-7474.
"You see that star right there," SCP-7474 asked after some time, pointing to a star in the night sky.
"Yeah," the boy replied.
"There's life over there."
"Really?"
"Yes. Actual, legitimate, life. There's a species over there that you can't find here."
The boy did a slight smile before going back to a scared frown. "How do you know that?"
"I just do. It's like how a magician never reveals their secrets."
Some more time passed before SCP-7474 said "you better get back to bed. I don't want to imagine your family's reaction when they see you hanging out with me. Run along now."

Encounter 2: Outside of testing

Two siblings that had a rivalry with each other resulted in one of the siblings scaring the daylights out of the other. The victim hadn't forgave their sibling for that for quite some time.

Then, that very same night, the child that scared their sibling screamed in terror. The parents were up in an instant.
"What happened!?" the father exclaimed.
"I saw a monster," the child said. "It was big and had blue eyes. I saw the meat it had inside its body. It vanished the moment I screamed… Can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Of course, ████," the mother said lovingly.
When morning came, the sibling that was scared found a piece of paper on his dresser that read "You're welcome" and had a drawing of SCP-7474 on the back of the paper.

Encounter 3: During testing

D-3645 was put into a room and was locked in there. The lights were then turned off and the room became pitch black. A few minutes later, D-3645 started breathing heavily and sounded terrified as he said "There are blue eyes in here. Get me out! Please!" The camera inside the room became disabled during this period. Then, an unknown voice, possibly SCP-7474, said "Look at you. Left here believing you will soon perish at the hands of little old me. That's just disappointing. The SCP Foundation is supposed to be saving humanity, not taking advantage of it. You don't even deserve to be here. Protocol 12 is harsh, don't you think?"
The camera then turned back on, the blue eyes were gone, and the room's lights turned on by themselves.

Encounter 4: During unrelated testing

During testing of SCP-354, SCP-7474 was spotted peeking out of the red liquid. It glanced at numerous on-site personnel before fully submerging itself.
