SCP FOUNDATION PERSONNEL FILE 32-B
Name: A████ L█████
Foundation Alias: Dr. Richard Enting
Security Clearance Level: 3 2
Current Assignment: Priority One Junior Researcher
Richard Enting discovered the SCP Foundation when a Foundation mole referred him to us upon Enting's discovery of SCP-███. Since joining the research team, Enting has yet to submit an admissible SCP report, but has confidence he will “Come up with something good at some point or another”.
Currently, he is involved in experimentation on SCP-038 (The Everything Tree), and has finally succeeded in causing SCP-038 to produce pencils from its branches, thereby neutralizing the recent pencil shortage at his site. After 24 hours of being picked from SCP-038, the pencils, when used by personnel, fused to the skin of anyone who was currently using it, draining the user’s body of minerals and converting them into synthetic graphite, eventually resulting in dangerous vitamin deficiencies in personnel, weak bone structure, and eventually [DATA EXPUNGED], followed by death. The pencils have since been classified as SCP-████, and Dr. Enting has received a reprimanding and demotion to Junior status.
Interview of Dr. Richard Enting for joining the SCP Foundation
Below is a transcript of the interview that took place on █/█/20██, at 11:45 AM, PST. Agent █████ was instructed to inform Enting of the Foundation’s directive and attempt to convince him to join the Foundation as a researcher. If Enting refused, Agent █████ was given clearance to administer Class-A amnestics to erase any memory of the SCP Foundation.
<begin transcript>
Agent █████: Good afternoon, Dr. ██████.
Dr. Enting: You’re my 11:45? Please, call me █████.
Agent █████: Sure, █████.
Dr. Enting: …Actually, scratch that. Dr. ██████ is fine.
Agent █████:: Sure, Doctor. Now, let’s get down to business, shall we?
Dr. Enting: Yes, of course. [papers shuffling.]
Agent █████: I came to tell you about the foundation I work for.
Dr. Enting: Foundation?
Agent █████: Yes, the SCP Foundation. We specialize in the acquisition and >containment of anomalous objects and entities.
Dr. Enting: SCP… What does that stand for?
Agent █████: That’s classified, but our unofficial motto is “Secure, Contain, >Protect.”
Dr. Enting: So, you put Bigfoots and aliens in a cage?
Agent █████: SCP-1000 is the proper term, and both of those entities are >currently impossible to contain.
Dr. Enting: …That was a joke.
Agent █████: I understand that, Doctor.
[silence]
Agent █████: We read your paper. Quite a fascinating plant you have there.
Dr. Enting: Is it one of your “anomalous objects or entities?”
Agent █████: Precisely. You’ve discovered an SCP, Dr. ██████.
Dr. Enting: So, you’re going to confiscate it and erase my memory with a >flashing pen or something?
Agent █████: It will be taken into containment, yes.
Dr. Enting: Fantastic. My first scientific breakthrough, confiscated by the Men >in Black.
Agent █████: Not so fast, Doctor. The Foundation is interested in your assets. >After all, you are the one who discovered this, and managed to keep it discrete.
Dr. Enting: Yeah, well it's been one hell of a week. My perception of reality has >been a little shaky lately.
Agent █████: I understand, Doctor. We’d like to offer you a job. Your first >assignment would be writing up a report on that plant.
Dr. Enting: Why should I trust you?
Agent █████: You’d like proof?
Dr. Enting: Very much so.
Agent █████: Very well. I did expect you to be somewhat perturbed about >this, so I pulled some strings and was allowed to bring something with me.
[Agent █████ produces from his briefcase a small sketchbook and opens the cover, >revealing a pencil sketch of a woman. Upon closer examination, Enting sees that the woman is >animate, and able to move within the confines of the paper.
Dr. Enting: Well… Hello there.
Agent █████: This is SCP-085. You may call her Cassie. [SCP-085 waves >silently, and Agent █████ closes the sketchbook, putting it back in the briefcase.]
Dr. Enting: God damn. You people really know where Bigfoot is?
Agent █████: SCP-1000, and yes. You should read the files once you get the >proper security clearance.
Dr. Enting: You’re talking as if I've already accepted your offer.
Agent █████: Do you accept our offer?
Dr. Enting: Yes.

Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 are to be kept together in a standard humanoid holding cell, with two key-operated security checkpoints. Various children's toys and books are to be provided, as well as three meals a day. All personnel cleared for interaction with SCP-XXXX are to wear full hazmat gear to prevent any physical contact with SCP-XXXX. All instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are also to be placed in a standard human holding cell until their death.
Description: SCP-XXXX is 2.4 meters tall, and weighs approximately 108 kg. SCP-XXXX is a slender humanoid wearing a brown suit and bowtie with the head of a white Oryctolagus cuniculus(European Rabbit). All instances of SCP-XXXX have no visible mouth, and have not made any vocalizations of any kind. Experiments have shown that it does not breathe, and is presumably indestructible. SCP-XXXX's clothes will never tear, and it never shows any sign of exhaustion. SCP-XXXX spends its time tending to and caring for SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX-1 is a young girl, currently four years of age, and of British descent. SCP-XXXX-1 is very familiar and affectionate with SCP-XXXX, and seems to be able to hear it speak. SCP-XXXX-1 has requested SCP-XXXX to read it a storybook, and SCP-XXXX has complied. SCP-XXXX-1 appears to hear SCP-XXXX read for it, although no other personnel do. SCP-XXXX-1 has provided a vague explanation for SCP-XXXX's anomalous behavior (See Interview-XXXX-1).
SCP-XXXX constantly offers a handshake to anyone who comes near it. If any human being comes into physical contact with SCP-XXXX, they will begin to perceive an identical copy of SCP-XXXX in the room. The subject is the only one who can perceive their SCP-XXXX-2. There is no apparent limit to the amount of instances of SCP-XXXX-2 that can manifest.
SCP-XXXX-2 will perform basic servant duties for the subject, and seems to be indestructible like the original. It will respond to any name that the subject assigns to it.
When asked to perform favors pertaining to assisting the subject with moving about (i.e. carrying, pushing wheelchair, etc.), SCP-XXXX-2 will perform the duty with extreme violence (ex.: When D-5828 asked their instance of SCP-XXXX-2 to carry him to the door, SCP-XXXX-2 picked up D-5828 and threw him at the closed door, showing disproportionate physical strength. D-5828 was killed in this incident.) SCP-XXXX does not display this behavior with SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX and its copies has displayed extreme physical prowess in multiple situations. The heaviest object it has lifted so far was 2 metric tonnes, and it has been clocked moving at speeds of up to 30kmph. There are a few tasks it either refuses to or is unable to perform, instead bowing as a sign of apology. These commands include:
*Commands requiring it to speak
*Sexual favors
*Being instructed to kill or harm the original SCP-XXXX
*Showing itself to other people
*Producing objects out of thin air, or causing objects to disappear
In addition, SCP-XXXX-2 has a secondary effect on its host that manifests over time. The subject will continually grow lazy as time goes on, and after █ weeks, the subject will refuse to perform any kind of physical action other than speech, and relies on SCP-XXXX-2 for every physical need. Once these effects have manifested, SCP-XXXX-2 will refuse to adhere to any requests made by the subject, causing extreme emotional distress. the subject will refuse assistance from anyone other than SCP-XXXX-2, and will eventually die of neglecting their basic needs; water, food, waste, breathing, etc.
Interview-XXXX-1
Interviewed: SCP-XXXX-1
Interviewer: Researcher ██████
Foreword: SCP-XXXX-1 displayed considerable distress upon being separated from SCP-XXXX. Personnel eventually complied and allowed SCP-XXXX to accompany them.
<Begin Log>
Researcher ██████: Good morning, Evangeline.
SCP-XXXX-1: Can I have a snack?
Researcher ██████: Maybe later, if you're good.
SCP-XXXX-1: I'll- I'll be good. Promise.
Researcher ██████: Good. Now, why don't you tell me where SCP-XXXX came from?
SCP-XXXX-1: Appears confused.
Researcher ██████: Excuse me, I was referring to the bunny rabbit.
SCP-XXXX-1: Oh, Mister Rabbit!
Researcher ██████: Yes, Mister Rabbit.
SCP-XXXX: Nods.
SCP-XXXX-1: Once upon a time, I was praying to God. And, and I made a wish, and he was my toy bunny rabbit, and then, and then, he wasn't my toy bunny rabbit, he was my real toy bunny rabbit.
Researcher ██████: You made a wish, and it brought your toy bunny rabbit to life?
SCP-XXXX-1: Yeah, and he haves to do whatever I say he does.
Researcher ██████: I see. Do you know why Mister Rabbit can create… Pauses. …Create more of himself?
SCP-XXXX-1: Yeah! Appears delighted by the question. We were playing in the garden, and, and I said "Mister Bunny, I wish everybody had a toy bunny like you!" and he shook mama's hand, and mama could see Mister Rabbit! She, she didn't like him very much. Mister Rabbit said God is taking good care of her.
Researcher ██████: So, you made another wish, and Mister Rabbit granted it?
SCP-XXXX-1: Yeah!
<End Log>
Closing Statement: After being given a snack, SCP-XXXX-1 returned to containment along with SCP-XXXX.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be held in its current form (a rhinoceros) while in containment. To keep it in this form, SCP-XXXX must only come into contact with food fit for a rhinoceros (grasses, leaves, etc.) Its containment cell must be tailored to fit the keeping of a rhinoceros. The cell it is contained in cannot exceed the measurements of 10 square meters, and the walls are to be reinforced with steel in anticipation of a form change. Feeding must be done via an automated two-gated receptacle that food can be inserted into, and transferred to a feeding trough. In the event that SCP-XXXX changes form, it is to be provided with low-lying grasses and bushes to coax it back into the form of a rhinoceros. Under no circumstances can any human being come within SCP-XXXX's line of sight. Refer to incident XXXX-█-██.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an anomalous organism capable of completely altering its physical appearance. This process can take anywhere from five to thirty seconds, depending on the complexity of the transformation. Logs of its reactions to encountering different forms of prey can be found below. It behaves with some degree of intelligence, often using its ability to hide amongst its prey, then transforming in the midst of them to feed. Its "true" or "original" form is unknown, although it was sighted in the form of a common European rabbit, and was eventually captured in the form of a large thick-billed raven (Corvus crassirostris). There is no evidence to support this being its first form, and due to its nature, it is highly unlikely that it is. All forms SCP-XXXX has taken so far have been identified as male. It is unknown if SCP-XXXX is a one of a kind anomaly or perhaps part of a species. Further investigation into the site of recovery near ██████ County, New Jersey is pending.
[These test logs describe SCP-XXXX's reaction to having certain organisms placed in its chamber. From these experiments, we can surmise that it has an instinctive knowledge of the general food chain.
”The process we used was giving SCP-XXXX a plant or animal that is generally regarded as being at the bottom of the food chain. With every transformation SCP-XXXX underwent, we provided it with an organism matching SCP-XXXX, to essentially work our way up the food chain until SCP-XXXX became an organism we could not provide. This way we can understand more about SCP-XXXX and, hopefully, about nature’s pecking order.” Researcher Cook
Experimentation is still underway, however. Acquiring the proper animals for experimentation is increasingly difficult, and such processes take weeks or months.]
Test Log SCP-XXXX-A-1: (1) Standard supermarket-size bag of corn kernels
SCP-XXXX did not change from its form of a thick-billed raven.
Test Log SCP-XXXX-A-2a: (1) Thick-billed Raven
SCP-XXXX transformed into what most closely resembled a red-tailed hawk or “chicken hawk”. However, there were two small differences that left the team slightly unsure. SCP-XXXX’s beak and claws were unusually large, with the beak clearly resembling a macaw.
Notes: Maybe it got confused? I don’t know, chickenhawks don’t look like that; I know that for sure. Researcher Cook
Test Log SCP-XXXX-A-2b: (1) Common Raven
SCP-XXXX’s beak and claws became the normal size, and overall was unanimously decided to be an accurate chickenhawk.
Notes: I want to do some side experiments on several species of organisms from the same genus. It seems to react slightly differently depending on the species. Cook
Test Log SCP-XXXX-A-3: (1) Red-tailed Hawk (Chickenhawk)
SCP-XXXX became an ordinary wolverine.
Test Log SCP-XXXX-A-4: (1) Wolverine
SCP-XXXX transformed back into a chickenhawk.
Notes: It seems we hit a loop. Cook
[After Test A-4, SCP-XXXX seemingly refused to change into anything besides a chickenhawk or a wolverine. Researchers tried to coax it into turning back into a raven, but it refused for 12 days to change into any other organisms. Test B1 is a result of SCP-XXXX finally complying after researchers successfully caused it to become a raven again.]
Test Log SCP-XXXX-B-1: (200) Common Aphids
SCP-XXXX became a red spotless ladybug twice the normal size of a common ladybug. It proceeded to consume the aphids in a manner that researchers described as “much too voracious for a normal ladybug.”
Notes: It’s possible that SCP-XXXX took this slightly off form because it was especially hungry. Food has been scarce since the damned thing got picky and only ate chickenhawks and wolverines for two weeks. Cook
Test Log SCP-XXXX-B-2: (50) Ladybird Beetles
SCP-XXXX became a large tarantula identified as a Goliath Birdeater. This form was quite large, but not unusually so.
Notes: This is a puzzling transformation, since Goliath Birdeater Tarantulas aren’t the most widely known predator of ladybirds. We expected a more common spider, or a simple assassin bug. It’s possible SCP-XXXX chooses its form not based on the actual food chain, but what form would be the most effective in capturing its prey and getting the most nutrients out of it. Cook
Test Log SCP-XXXX-B-3: (1) Goliath Birdeater Tarantula
SCP-XXXX morphed into an unknown wasp-like creature closely resembling Dolichovespula maculate (the bald-faced hornet). This form had a vaguely humanoid posture, and eight legs instead of six (four 'arms', two small, seemingly useless appendages on the thorax, and two 'legs'. All of these appendages are almost identical to the legs of a common hornet. Less than a meter in height, SCP-XXXX could not support itself on its spindly legs in this form, but instead hovered in the air using its four transparent and iridescent wings.
Notes: This is the first time SCP-XXXX has become an unknown entity since the attempts at its capture. We believe that this creature is an ancient species that died out due to the rarity and elusiveness of its prey. A request is pending to allow SCP-XXXX to remain in this form to see if it builds a nest like other wasps. Enting
[For these tests, SCP-XXXX was fed a dish of plankton, causing it to morph into an Atlantic herring, and was transported to Water Tank 10100-C in anticipation of transformation into a blue whale, which was the original goal.]
Test Log SCP-XXXX-C-1: (5) Atlantic herring
SCP-XXXX transformed into a normal bottlenose Dolphin.
Notes: Not what we wanted, but let’s just go with it. Cook
Test Log SCP-XXXX-C-2: (1) Bottlenose Dolphin
SCP-XXXX became a large great white shark. Researchers noted that its teeth were much smaller and longer than average, and that it possessed twice as many as a normal great white.
Test Log SCP-XXXX-C-3: (1) Great White Shark
SCP-XXXX metamorphosed into what the team theorizes is a species of *Arctheteuthis*, or giant squid. However, SCP-XXXX was three times larger than any other squid in historical records, and had a distinct exoskeletal plating on the upper part of its mantle. In addition, it possessed several barbed tentacles, a characteristic not seen in any cephalopods in history.
Test Log SCP-XXXX-C-4: (1) Giant Squid
SCP-XXXX metamorphosed into a perfectly normal, average, ordinary sperm whale.
Notes: Okay, we’re not wasting any more time getting these [EXPLETIVE] exotic animals. We wasted months finding that squid, and look at the payoff. [EXPLETIVE] nothing. [EXPLETIVE]. Cook
[For these tests, SCP-XXXX was transferred to an open-air containment with a single tree allowed. The goal was to learn to manipulate SCP-XXXX’s form more precisely. The form the team tried for is a giraffe.]
Test Log SCP-XXXX-D-1: (1) African Umbrella Thorn Tree
SCP-XXXX transformed into a large baboon.
Notes: Negative results. We’re going to try using a tree that it can’t climb. Enting
Test Log SCP-XXXX-D-2: (1) African Baobab Tree
SCP-XXXX became an unknown creature that researchers described as some sort of crossbreed between a pangolin and a porcupine, with enormous claws and spiked armor plating. It used its spiny armor to scale the baobab’s smooth vertical surface easily, reaching the leaves above.
Notes: Doctor Cook, I understand the research merit of this one, but I can’t keep blowing Foundation money on this. We can’t just fly in whatever exotic trees you think you need for these tests. If there were some anomalous fertilizer or something, it would be easier, but that’s not the world we live in. Remember: We have a budget, Doctor. 05-█
Test Log SCP-XXXX-D-3: (1) Small bush located on top of large concrete pillar (60 meters tall)
SCP-XXXX metamorphosed into what was distinctly recognized as a member of the Seismosaurus genus of quadrupedal dinosaur. SCP-XXXX was noted to have a distinct purple chromatic grey toned skin, and was much larger than any recorded Seismosaurus skeleton, reaching approximately 70 meters tall.
//Notes: [EXPLETIVE] this. I’m getting reassigned. This thing will turn into everything under the sun except a [EXPLETIVE] giraffe, and the higher-ups say you can’t test it until you can learn to control its forms. [EXPLETIVE]. I’m leaving. [EXPLETIVE].
