Corn Eaters

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Any and all SCP-XXXX found in the wild are to be shot on site. Ten SCP-XXXX are currently kept in Site 017 in their own airtight 4*4*4 meter cubes. All SCP-XXXX are to be fed one ear of corn daily.

If any XXXX die while on site, they are to be burned immediately and replaced with a wild SCP-XXXX. Class D Personnel are assigned to dispose of deceased XXXX. MTF Tumbleweed is assigned to capture/kill SCP-XXXX, and 200 units are posted on the borders of all midwestern states, as well as Mexico. Their posts are disguised as toll booths, and MTF Tumbleweed is ordered to kill any SCP-XXXX found trying to pass into the Midwest. Any civilians who witness an instance of XXXX will be administered Class B amnestics immediately.

Description: SCP-XXXX are a group of bipedal humanoids, about 2.5 meters tall. Their muscle mass is extremely low, with the outline of their bones easily visible. Due to this low muscle mass, XXXX weigh only about 2kgs. SCP-XXXX also have necks about 0.5 meters long, and an almost perfectly spherical head with bright white eyes and a very big nose, presumably to smell for corn.

SCP-XXXX have two fingers on the end of each of their hands, which they use to pluck corn. They have also been examined to use the fingers as skewers to attack other organisms. XXXX only eats corn, and shows extremely violent behavior if something- or someone -has corn. It is speculated that SCP-XXXX is an alien entity, who’s planet only grew plants similar to corn, but it is unproven why XXXX only eats corn.

SCP-XXXX has been recorded to run at upwards of 160 kilometers per hour, and is able to fit through cracks 100 times less than its size, due to the species’ bones being made completely of cartilage. SCP-XXXX are hatched from seeds which greatly resemble walnuts. These seeds are produced by an SCP-XXXX after they die, and anywhere from 50 to 300 seeds can hatch after the SCP dies. SCP-XXXX has been recorded to take only 1-2 days to grow to its adult form from hatching.

+Interview with [CIVILIAN]

[Interview Log SCP-XXXX
Interviewer: Dr. Henry Roberts
Interviewed: [CIVILIAN]

Foreword: [CIVILIAN] witnessed an instance of XXXX in his backyard. He proceeded to call animal control, but XXXX was able to escape before animal control arrived. Four class C personnel were sent to retrieve him. [CIVILIAN] is the first reported instance of civilian witness of SCP-XXXX. The Interviewed will be referred to as [CIVILIAN] to protect identities.

([CIVILIAN] enters the room. Dr. Roberts is sitting at a table.)

Dr. Roberts: Please, Mr. [CIVILIAN], have a seat.

([CIVILIAN] sits across from Dr. Roberts.)

Dr. Roberts: Can you explain to me exactly what happened on █/██/20██?

[CIVILIAN]: Sure, isn't that what I'm here for?

Dr. Roberts: That it is. When you're ready.

[CIVILIAN]: Alright. So basically, this thing was real tall. About 7 or 8 feet. There ain’t no bears in the city, though, right? Well I didn’t know what that thing was, or what it was doing in my backyard. I would’ve shot the damn thing except my neighbors were right behind me and I didn’t want to get charged with manslaughter or nothing.

Dr. Roberts: Go on.

[CIVILIAN]: Well, I couldn’t get a real good look at it, but I could make out that it was real skinny. And grey. Something out of a science fiction book or something. Anyways, I called animal control, and while I was waiting I drew up a little sketch of it. You took that, right?

Dr. Roberts: Yes, we did. What else happened that night?

[CIVILIAN]: Well, it was like it got spooked or something, cause when I looked up, it was gone. Animal control got there right afterwards, and I explained to them that it left, and I told them it was about 7 or 8 feet tall. They didn’t believe me, of course, and they must’ve called you guys because that’s when you came knocking. Who are you guys, anyways?

Dr. Roberts: FBI. Anyways, did you tell anyone else about the animal?

[CIVILIAN]: Nope. Just you and animal control.

Dr. Roberts: And they did not believe you, correct?

[CIVILIAN]: Well duh, what’s it matter anyways? Are we almost done here?

(Dr. Roberts stands up.)

Dr. Roberts: Yes. In fact, we just finished. Have a good day, Mr. [CIVILIAN]

([CIVILIAN] is escorted out by two Class D personnel to receive amnestics.)

Addendum XXXX-01: Since the Interview with [CIVILIAN] on █/██/20██, there have been numerous accounts of civilians witnessing instances of SCP-XXXX. There are even reports of civilians finding newborn XXXX’s in their own homes. With the knowledge of SCP-XXXX’s life cycle in mind, we believe there is a group of people who are planting XXXX seeds in urban areas. MTF Tumbleweed has been assigned to areas with high numbers of reports, to search any suspicious persons for SCP-XXXX seeds. Anyone found with seeds on their person will be administered Class C amnestics, and the seeds will be destroyed.

Interviewed: Cathryn Bridges

(Dr. Henderson enters the room.)

Dr. Henderson: Hello, Mrs. Bridges, I’m Dr. Henderson, I’m just have to ask you a few questions.

Cathryn Bridges: Miss, Doctor.

Dr. Henderson: Excuse me?

Cathryn Bridges: It is Miss Bridges, not Mrs. Bridges, I am a widow.

Dr. Henderson: Oh, pardon me. I’m sorry for your loss.

Cathryn Bridges: Oh, don’t be! Good riddance, I say!

(Dr. Henderson chuckles.)

Dr. Henderson: Anyways, mind if we start?

Cathryn Bridges: Sure, go ahead.

Dr. Henderson: Alright, so correct me if I’m wrong, but on █/██/20██ you entered your bathroom, and you heard a noise coming from the bathtub, so you pulled back the shower curtain and there was… well, *ahem* you described it as an alien.

Cathryn Bridges: Um… yes. I know it’s crazy, but I wasn’t the only one who saw it! The police were there too, they even took it with them when they left.

Dr. Henderson: Yes, I was just getting to that. So you called the police, and they came, naturally. Ater sedating it, they took it with them. Is everything correct?

Cathryn Bridges: Um.. Yeah, sounds right.

Dr. Henderson: Would you have happened to catch the officers’ names?

Cathryn Bridges: No.. well, I remember Officer Daniels, but the other one didn’t really say anything. I’m not surprised, though, he had just seen.. a monster.

Dr. Henderson: Okay. Was there anything else out of the ordinary that night? Anything at all?

Cathryn Bridges: No, not really. It had been a completely normal night, up to that point. There was one thing though, I wouldn’t call it out of the ordinary, but it doesn’t happen every day.

Dr. Henderson: What was it, Cathryn?

Cathryn Bridges: Well, last week or so, someone moved into the house next door. Jessie, I think that was her name… anyways, I had her over for dinner that night, to introduce her to the neighborhood. Not anything “out of the ordinary”, but it was something new.

Dr. Henderson: Did anything else out of- sorry. Did anything else “new” happen that night?

Cathryn Bridges: No, not that I can recall.

Dr. Henderson: Alright… Well, thank you Miss Bridges, you were a very big help.

Cathryn Bridges: Thank you Doctor. It feels good to talk about it to someone.
