Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX

Description: SCP-XXXX is a human male that identifies itself as "Mr. Popper."

SCP-xxxx is able to steal penguins from zoos through unknown means, evading detection from all security measures. To date, the subject has evaded capture from multiple international intelligence agencies. The extent of the subject's capabilities, methods, and resources remains unknown.

After acquiring a penguin, the subject will hijack television programming and broadcast itself "popping" the penguin. "Popping" invariably ends with the penguin exploding violently. The event is considered to be distressing and uncomfortable to all who have viewed it, including violent D-Class subjects. The methods through which SCP-XXXX "pops" penguins varies, and may be anomalous in nature.

All attempts to locate or capture SCP-XXXX have been unsuccessful. SCP-XXXx is aware of the existence of the Foundation, and taunts agents in his broadcasts. The subject also taunts law enforcement and intelligence agencies, challenging them to capture him, to stop him from "popping" more penguins. SCP-xxxx also regularly expresses his disappointment in the performance of these agencies, in their inability to stop him.

Below is a video log from a previous broadcast:

Foreword: SCP-xxxx had hijacked television displays in Times Square, New York.

<Begin Log>

SCP-xxxx: Hello, again. I'm Mr. Popper, proudly presenting another episode of Mr. Popper's Penguins. And this is my friend, Pingu, from the ██████ Zoo. As you all know by now, Pingu is going to be popped. Such a shame you couldn't catch me. It was an easy job.

Penguin attempts to waddle away.

SCP-xxxx: No, no. You're not going anywhere yet, Pingu. Not before you've been popped. Then you're free to go here, and there, and all over the place.

SCP-xxxx hold on to penguin.

SCP-xxxx: Now, then, I want you to take a good look at Pingu. Take one last, good look at him. You should apologize to him because you couldn't save him.
Penguin struggles to escape.

SCP-xxxx: Done? Now, say bye bye to Pingu.

Penguin becomes distressed as it expands. The sounds of bones cracking and skin tearing is audible. Camera shakes from the force and is obscured by blood, bone fragments, and tissues.

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is contained on site and covertly guarded. Signs warning of a biohazard are placed around the perimeter to deter civilians. As the anomaly only affects cows, no additional security measures against civilians are necessary.

Reasonable safety measures should be exercised when using cows to observe or test the anomaly. Aside from testing purposes, no cows are to be kept on site. Security personnel are permitted to terminate cows if the situation demands it.

Description: SCP-XXXX is an abandoned plot of land containing a farmhouse and barn. The area and related structures are unassuming in appearance.

The anomalous effect of SCP-XXXX affects cows. Cows on site exhibit abnormal behavior on nights when a full moon is present. Observed behaviors include:

• "Laughing" uncontrollably, usually accompanied with erratic head movement.

• Producing vocalizations similar to human speech, but consisting of gibberish. Subjects appear to be "talking" to themselves or each other.

• Self harm which can potentially result in death.

• Awkward bipedal ambulation.

• Attempting to approach and seek human subjects, even if blocked by obstacles.

• Exhibiting symptoms of illness such as vomiting.

These behaviors are largely unpredictable and follow no fixed pattern. The frequency at which these behaviors are performed are also variable. Subjects may perform them at random intervals, or through the entirety of the night.

Abnormal behavior ceases shortly before dawn, but surviving subjects appear to be distressed by the experience. Aside from this, subjects will behave as expected until the next full moon.
