Item #: SCP-CN-3086
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Currently, only 10 instances of SCP-CN-3086 are contained at Site-CN-96 for research purposes. All tasks relating to this anomaly are only to be carried out by Site-CN-96. Any incidents or effects caused by uncontained instances of the anomaly are to be covered up by misdirecting public discourse; additionally, the location where the incident occurred is to be chemically treated to kill instances of the anomaly.
The Foundation has also relied on governments outside the Veil to encourage the public to flush the toilet after use and promoted the use of automatic flush toilets to increase public sanitation and suppress the anomaly's transmission.
Personnel are strictly forbidden from using SCP-CN-3086 for purposes other than research.
Description: SCP-CN-3086 is the collective designation for a type of unknown organism. The object's exterior resembles that of human feces, typically appearing brown in color with a wrinkled surface, and measures 15 - 20 cm on average. SCP-CN-3086 instances are covered in a large number of yellow mouth orifices in the shape of inverted hooks, as well as red orifices from which waste is excreted, and use their hook-like orifices to crawl on the ground and excrete incubated eggs. Of note is that some instances of the object are partially liquid and move by slithering similarly to worms.
Investigation has revealed that SCP-CN-3086 instances typically inhabit underground sewage networks. After an instance has grown to a certain size, it will cease to consume food and instead seek out toilet bowls connected to its habitat. Upon finding a suitable toilet bowl, it will crawl up the sewage pipe into the toilet bowl and begin to hibernate. The object is able to hibernate in this state for up to four months.
SCP-CN-3086 instances will remain in this hibernative state indefinitely unless given a suitable opportunity to attack. When a human subject approaches the toilet in which an instance is sleeping, it will rapidly awaken; if the subject then exposes their anus, the instance will rapidly contract its muscles before launching itself at the subject's anus with the intention of entering the anal cavity. If the attempt is successful, the instance will then crawl upwards into the subject's alimentary canal.
After entering the subject's alimentary canal, SCP-CN-3086 instances will continue to crawl upward while also continuously absorbing half-digested nutrients along its path. At this point, the subject will suffer from constipation and lack of appetite. This process continues for 2 to 11 days, during which the instance will grow in size by approximately 150% and its skin cells will begin to die. When the object successfully makes its way into the large intestine, [DATA EXPUNGED], causing it to burst and die.
However, due to the effects of [DATA EXPUNGED], a valve composed of the SCP-CN-3086 instance's remains and tissue from the walls of the large intestine will remain. This valve will constantly secrete a viscous liquid, which primarily consists of water and large molecules similar to RNA. This liquid has extremely strong acid-resistant properties, and is not anomalous on its own, but [DATA EXPUNGED]. Further testing of this phenomenon has invariably resulted in failure.
Following this, when food consumed by the subject is digested and the stool reaches this valve, it will become covered in and rapidly absorb this liquid. When the stool then leaves the acidic environment of the subject's alimentary canal, the anomalous properties of the liquid will then manifest: the excreted stool will form into a new instance of SCP-CN-3086 over the course of two minutes, taking on an appearance typical of the anomaly, and then search for organic matter within the sewage system, such as non-anomalous feces, to grow in size. Under normal circumstances, the newly formed instance will develop the ability to attack humans within four days, at which point the cycle will repeat.
