Item #: SCP-3129

Object Class: Previously Euclid, Currently Safe

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-3129 is housed in a basic 30 x 21 meter room with retractable ceiling for access to sunlight within containment. Containment area is furnished with natural foliage and approximately 1m of soil. Several platforms have been installed along the walls to allow for basking or avoiding D class personnel sent in for routine cleaning and maintenance. Heating coils have been installed as a hot rock to provide an alternate source during colder months. Regular socialization has been recommended after the incident on [REDACTED].

Description:

SCP-3129 appears at its base to be a cross between Varanus komodoensis (komodo dragon) and Crocodylus acutus (American crocodile). Measures 9.1 meters (30ft) from nose to tail, weighing approximately 236 kilograms (520 lbs).

Bioluminescent patches line either side of its spinal ridge, giving off a gold to yellow glow at all times barring in bright light. These patches have been noted to make a decent “nightlight” according to D class who have managed to gain the entity’s affection. “[It] seems to enjoy being read to”, one D class noted, “because [its] hands are too big to properly hold the books.”

Spinal ridge is covered with a thick line of what appear to be quills similar to a porcupine, though are flared with a variety of emotions rather than simply defense. It has tried several times to apologize for backing these quills right into several D class, Dr. Gears, and Dr. Agarwal.

In total the entity has seven eyes, six of which appear to be functional for thermal detection while the seventh can see in several different ranges including but not limited to; visual color spectrum, ultraviolet, infrared, and possibly able to detect [REDACTED].

The seventh eye seems to be a sort of “gateway” into its memories seeing as the “starry” darkness will rearrange and condense to form pictures of the places it has seen. It has been confirmed it has indeed been to these locations, as biological samples brought back confirmed this.

The fluid filled sacs on the specimen’s torso seem to be an internal food store since it has been observed to retain solid matter inside these sacs until ready to be digested or regurgitated. (It is unadvisable that these sacs be punctured - while they do heal perfectly fine - we do not want to smell that awful stench again. BE MINDFUL OF THE COLORS INSIDE THE ABDOMINAL SACS.)

Sacs will contain various substances depending on what it has eaten. The most common substances being; a form of fruit alcohol (mostly fermented apples), honey, or decomposing flesh (tends to darken the fluid of the storage sacs to a dark grey or grey-brown).

The seventh eye can form recent memories as well, this was discovered after it showed a D class that was providing it enrichment an image of Dr. Bright [REDACTED] while intoxicated during a staff holiday celebration.

SCP-3129’s saliva isn’t particularly anomalous but it should be noted that it is toxic enough to cause flu-like symptoms if introduced to the bloodstream. The saliva also contains [REDACTED] which could pose a serious threat to any bitten personnel, please seek medical attention and keep pressure on the wound. It is advised that you do NOT kick the creature to wake it up. Side note, it tends to drool a lot so please be wary of where you step.

It has been known to shapeshift into various forms mimicking natural animals and staff, though retains the gold color of its eyes and its forked tongue. It is unclear if this is a biological change in shape or a memetic phenomenon. It has not used this ability to escape the premises or for hostile actions, every time it has escaped containment it has been found in the staff break room. To allow staff to keep honey in the break room SCP-3129 is to be provided its own supply of honey and fruit, especially during cold months.

Addendum:

Notes with Dr. Kiryu:

• “I’m glad they finally got that roof installed. Have you ever tried to take a giant lizard for a walk? It isn’t exactly a damn dog. But…it is affectionate enough to be at times. I wish a certain coworker of mine would stop letting it be so possessive over me, I really don’t need such long breaks when I have work to do!”

• “After the most recent escape and honey thievery Dr. Mercer was curious to see how it would act if offered some instead of having to steal honey. I’m not sure how I feel having such a large creature bonded to me but it seems to listen to whatever I ask of it. I managed to convince it to regurgitate some of the fermented honey from its abdominal sacs for research.”

• “SCP-3129 has taken a liking to Dr. Mercer’s pet bearded dragon. We were scared that it had eaten the poor thing but apparently that throat pouch functions like a crocodile’s! It was just trying to move the lizard to its favorite basking spot like mother crocodiles move their young from the nest to the water. After we calmed down it was pretty interesting to watch them. Unlike the base species it resembles SCP-3129 is highly social.”

Notes with Dr. Mercer:

• “It’s a huge lizard! What’s not to love? It doesn’t seem too fond of mealworms though, my beardie loves them. It loves apples though, and melon. Pretty cute how it does its best to share with my little guy.”

• “It doesn’t seem to have a sense of loyalty. I gave it honey today and it appears to want my attention over Dr. Kiryu’s. At least today it was a bit easier to draw blood, fluid from its abdominal sacs, and collect saliva.”

• “Both Dr. Kiryu and I gave SCP-3129 honey today. It was pretty happy to have so much of its favorite food but seemed conflicted when something was asked of it. It responded well to simple requests but when given competing requests from both of us it didn’t seem to know what to do.”

General Notes:

• SCP-3129 is allowed to roam and socialize freely once a week under supervision of whoever volunteers. Dr. Bright is not allowed to supervise SCP-3129 after [REDACTED]. The medical staff refuse to remove quills from Dr. Bright’s [REDACTED FOR DECENCY’S SAKE] for a second time.

• SCP-3129 seems to have a pleasing effect on the moods of those it interacts with. This is not due to any memetic phenomenon, according to those spoken to the entity is just a pleasant being.

• While normally decent company, SCP-3129 can become alarmingly vicious. When rather unpleasant D class were assigned to provide enrichment or company for it, they were witnessed being ruthlessly eviscerated and [REDACTED] while still alive. Dr. Bright is not allowed to send any D class personnel into its containment area simply because “they got on [his] nerves”.

Please tag me in any fanart (I would love to see others renditions of her). I will be posting this on the actual SCP site and her classification number will be edited once I do so. Enjoy. ☆
