SCP-2384: The Biggest Duck of All 


Item #: SCP-2384 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2384 is to be contained 
behind a perimeter of two-meter-tall electrical fencing. SCP-2384 is 
to be fed twice a day in accordance with Nutritional Chart 2384-1. 
Personnel are to monitor SCP-2384's growth at all times and if it is 
deemed to be approaching unmanageable levels, segments of 
SCP-2384's underground section are to be removed accordingly. 


Any attempts at exploration of SCP-2384 must be approved by at 
least two members of Level 3 personnel. 


Description: SCP-2384 is an organism resembling a male mallard 
duck (Anas platyrhynchos), the foot tissue of which extends nine 
kilometers underground. This extension of SCP-2384's foot tissue 
begins as one formed from several 'root’ formations, which five 
kilometers down coalesce into a larger organic structure. SCP-2384 
does not appear to be alarmed by this growth, nor by the inability to 
move that its presence causes. 


SCP-2384 does not appear to age, although it does show a need for 
sustenance. 


SCP-2384's underground section contains features typically 
associated with both plant and animal life, including: 


¢ Tunnel-like structures composed entirely of feathers of sizes 
ranging in length from five centimeters to fifty-six centimeters 

¢ Bud-like growths, samples of which were determined to be 

composed of duck bone 

Vine-like structures 

« Areas composed of beak tissue from several species of duck 

Pulsating membranes containing a large number of duck 


tongues 
¢ Structures bearing resemblances to organs such as livers and 
hearts 


Originally, SCP-2384's underground section only extended six 
kilometers, but since its discovery SCP-2384's underground section 
has slowly expanded deeper underground. When parts of 
SCP-2384's underground section are separated from the main 
mass, they appear to shrivel down and become inactive, allowing 
personnel to keep its growth at manageable levels. 


Exploration Log 2384-1: 


For the purpose of exploration, a tunnel had been dug which led 
directly into SCP-2384's underground section. D-91883 was 
dispatched into SCP-2384 with a head-mounted camera and 
protective gear. Exploration supervised by Dr. 


(D-91883 enters tunnel.) 


Dr. _: Please continue forward, D-91883. Try and keep 
the camera steady, please. 


D-91883: Alright, | guess. 


(D-91883 proceeds through tunnel. Several minutes 
later, they emerge into a large chamber inside 
SCP-2384's underground section. Feathers are visible 
on the floor of the chamber. Bulb structures are present 
on the walls and ceiling.) 


Dr. _: Please approach one of the bulbs. I'd like to get 
a Closer look at one. 


(D-91883 approaches one of the bulb structures.) 
D-91883: Man, it stinks in here. 


Dr. —_: You'll just have to ignore it, I'm afraid. Could you 
open up that bulb so we can take a look inside? 


D-91883: Uh, sure. 


slightly blue tint. Liquid is uncarbonated and very sweet, also 
including a vague berry flavor (which could not be determined) and a 
slight taste of salt. Researchers described it as somewhat similar to 
a sports drink, and testing indicated a similar composition to several 
commercially available sports drinks, with a marked higher content 
of sugar and sodium. Texture is slightly syrupy, and will leave a 
sticky residue on surfaces. 


No additional anomalous properties noted; however, it has been 
observed that those who reported the highest enjoyment of the item 
also scored the highest on the TSR-88 Cruelty Index during annual 
testing. Investigation in to possible relationship is ongoing. 


Notes — | don't give a damn what they say | scored, that stuff was 
delicious and worth it for the bottle alone. Isn't there some kind of 
personalized soda service somewhere? I'm ordering this. 


Addendum — request was denied. 


Money Entered: 100 __, (currency retrieved from ) 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Powered 

Item Description: A gaseous cloud that, when interacted with, 

attaches itself to the subject's hands as if being held. Upon inhaling, 

subject complained of chest pains and severe dyspnea, eventually 

resulting in death. Autopsy of subject was revealed to have several 

sheets of platinum arranged in an acute mathmatical pattern, fatally 

intersecting with the subject's heart and lungs. A manufacturer's 

mark near the centre of the "heart" indicates that it was produced by 
, with a laser-cut date of / / 


Money Entered: 600 Yen 

SCP-261 Powered or Unpowered: Unpowered 

Item Description: "Cow Beans" Jelly beans in the bag were similar 
texture and color to SCP-843. Class D that consumed the jelly 
beans clutched his stomach in pain and passed out. After regaining 
consciousness, subject appeared normal; however, autopsy showed 
that the subject had grown three more stomachs. 


Money Entered: 1500 Yen 


(D-91883 opens the bulb. Inside are several misshapen 
organisms, presumed to be dead.! Camera turns away.) 


D-91883: Oh, that is disgusting. 


Dr. _ : Kindly refrain from looking away, D-91883. We 
need to get this on video. 


(Camera turns back to the bulb for several seconds, then 
turns away again.) 


D-91883: Sorry, that's all | can do. Jesus, that fucking 
smell. 


Dr. —__: (sighs) Very well. Please proceed further into 
SCP-2384. 


D-91883: Okay, sure. Yeah. Anything to get away from 
those things. 


(D-91883 moves into an opening in the wall and 
proceeds down a small tunnel-like structure. Several 
minutes later, they emerge into a smaller chamber. A 
small fragment of bone is visible in an alcove in the wall.) 


Dr. :D-91883, please retrieve that item for research. 
D-91883: Seriously? Is that safe? 
Dr. __: Yes. 


(D-91883 reaches into the alcove, which suddenly closes 
around his arm.) 


D-91883: Oh fuck! Oh shit, it's got me, get off, get off! 
(D-91883's arm is released, and he falls backwards.) 
Dr. —_: Are you alright? 

D-91883: No, it stings like hell. 


(Camera moves up. A small bulb-like structure emerges 


from the wall. It opens, revealing a replica of D-91883's 
face. The replica looks at him for several seconds before 
quacking.) 


D-91883: What the fuck?! 


(At this point, D-91883 fled SCP-2384. Further inspection 
revealed that the living head of a duck had also 
appeared protruding from a similar bulb-like structure in 
one of the tunnels. Investigation revealed this head 
construct was capable of speaking rudimentary English 
and holding simple conversations.2. The construct is 
hereafter referred to as SCP-2384-1. (See Interview 
2384-1)) 


Exploration Log 2384-2: 


D-91885 was dispatched into SCP-2384 from a different entrance 
with a head-mounted camera and protective gear. Exploration was 
once again supervised by Dr. 


D-91885: So, um, am | supposed to be looking for 
anything specific - like - like the core of it or something? 


Dr. —_: Just make your way through the structure and 
show us what you see. 


D-91885: Well, | can't help but do that, right? 

Dr.  :I'msorry? 

D-91885: Uh, you know, cause I've got the, um... 
(D-91885 taps his helmet twice.) 

D-91885: The, uh, the camera. 

Dr. _: Oh, yes. Of course. Very good. Please proceed. 


(D-91885 makes his way through the structure until he 
reaches the chamber D-91883 fled from. The duplicate 
of D-91883's head is still protruding from the wall. It is 


still quacking.) 

D-91885: (laughs) 

Dr. :ls there an issue? 

D-91885: Oh my god, that's so fucked. 

Dr. _— : Pay it no mind, then. Please continue. 


(D-91885 proceeds through several tunnels before 
reaching a dead end. Several duck skeletons are 
embedded into the wall.) 


D-91885: | can't get any further, it's all - it's all blocked 
off. 


Dr. : Please return, then. 


D-91885: Hold on, | think | can get one of these, uh, 
these skeletons or whatever... 


(D-91885 starts attempting to dislodge one of the 
skeletons.) 


Dr. __: Uh, there's no need for that, D-91885, please 
return. 


D-91885: Just, just give me a sec, I'll get it. 

Dr. _: Please return immediately. 

D-91885: No, 'cause you said, - 'cause your guy said 
that if | helped you out I'd go free, so it's fine. It's fine, just 


hold on. 


Dr. : D-91885, we will be forced to send security after 
you if you do not comply, please return immediately. 


D-91885: Jesus fuck, calm down. It's just a du- 


(At this point, the wall opens up and several tendrils with 
what appear to be beaks on the end pull D-91885 


through a small tunnel behind it. The sounds of 
screaming and breaking bones can be heard as he is 
pulled through the rapidly shrinking space. The camera 
is broken at this point and video contact is lost. Several 
minutes later, the above-ground section of SCP-2384 is 
observed to scream in D-91885's voice for several 
seconds, before coughing up two human teeth. DNA 
testing confirmed these belonged to D-91885. 

Attempts to remove research materials from SCP-2384 
are now expressly forbidden.) 


Interview 2384-1-1: 


Interviewer: Dr. 
Interviewee: SCP-2384-1 


Interview was conducted through an exploration drone 
with attached speakers. 


Dr. _: Ah, hello there! Can you hear me? 
SCP-2384-1: I'm duck. 
Dr. —_: Yes, we can see that. 


SCP-2384-1: Duck duck. Feather wings, yeah? Alright, | 
guess. It's all. Bread. 


Dr. _: You...you want bread? You want food? 


SCP-2384-1: Yeah yeah, duck. Okay, sure. Yeah. Red 
bread, bread meat. Gimme gimme. I'm duck, gimme 
bread. 


Dr. :Doyou...do you understand your, um, your 
current position? 


SCP-2384-1: I'm duck. 


Dr. __: Yes, | know, | understand that - but, do you 
understand you are in a wall right now? 


SCP-2384-1: I'm big duck - I'm boss. Biggest duck, 
bigger and bigger. Bread, feather, wings, beak, it's all. 
What the fuck?! 


Dr. :ls there a problem? 


SCP-2384-1: What the fuck?! What the fuck?! What the 
duck?! What the duck?! I'm duck. 


(After this, SCP-2384-1 laughed for several minutes on 
end before expiring and being absorbed back into the 
wall.) 


Footnotes 

1. Further analysis suggests that these were malformed duck 
fetuses. 

2. Audio analysis confirmed that the construct spoke with the voice 
of D-91883.

SCP-2385: Somewhere In The Between 


Item #: SCP-2385 
Object Class: Keter (previously Euclid) 


Special Containment Procedures: Observation Site-2385 has 
been established around the anomaly, and the quarry in which it 
was discovered has been purchased by the Foundation. An 
antechamber has been constructed around SCP-2385s entrance. 
Entry into SCP-2385 beyond the first 10 meters is prohibited. 


Instances of SCP-2385-1 that either stray towards, or are birthed 
near the entryway are to be lured into the antechamber. Specimen 
of Mus musculus are to be utilized for this purpose. The instance is 
to be tranquilized, and relocated to a containment pen. 


Description: SCP-2385 is a subterranean network composed of 
undifferentiated human tissue. The matter is bioluminescent, 
emitting a constant 0.003 Im. The tunnels that make up the structure 
wind and interlock, forming a multicursal maze. SCP-2385 has a 
single entrance point. Attempts to either access or assess 
SCP-2385 from the outside, via tunneling and ground-penetrating 
radar respectively, have been met with failure. Due to this, the true 
size of SCP-2385 is unknown. Mapping of the interior has also 
proven difficult, as its internal topography fluctuates sporadically. 
New paths will open in the walls, while other sections will close off. 


SCP-2385-1 and -2 are vermiform! lifeforms which periodically grow 
within SCP-2385. SCP-2385-1 and -2 specimens typically range 
between one to four meters in length, with an average weight of 
250kg. They possess humanoid heads which are connected to a 
muscular tail by a fatty midsection. 


SCP-2385-1 will violently assault anything they perceive to move, 
including each other. SCP-2385-1 will constrict incapacitated prey 
prior to consuming smaller organisms (and other SCP-2385-1) 


whole. SCP-2385-1 will attempt to penetrate larger prey, and 
consume them from within. A pair of pharyngeal jaws is used to 
manipulate prey items into the gullet. 


Instances will wander SCP-2385 with no apparent direction, and 
seem to be solely motivated by hunger. Research on specimens in 
captivity has revealed that they do not require sustenance, so the 
reason for this behavior is unknown. 


SCP-2385-2 instances are typically larger than their -1 counterparts, 
and are identifiable by a fibrous growth over their eyes. SCP-2385-2 
are completely docile, and have never been observed feeding. They 
will converge with one another, and seem to travel through 
SCP-2385 with intent. 


Exploration SCP-2385-1 (10/01/2003): D-1 1424 was selected to 
ascertain the function of the anomaly, and to determine whether 
manned explorations were feasible. D-11424 was equipped with: 


¢ A shoulder-mounted camera. 

* One week's supply of rations. 

* One Ruger LC9, as well as several reserve magazines. 
* A machete. 


Very little information was gleaned, as D-11424 was struck by an 
instance of SCP-2385-1, and lost his camera 10 minutes into the 
exploration. Contact was lost, and D-11424 was presumed dead. 


Exploration SCP-2385-2 (12/21/2003): 


Foreword: A remote-controlled drone (A-47) is sent into 
SCP-2385. 


Initial Exploration Video Log Transcript 
<Begin Log> 


00:01 The camera shakes as A-47 navigates the terrain. 
After ten meters, the path spirals clockwise, leading to an 
intersection. To the left, four SCP-2385-1 are engaging 
each other in combat, while another two lie motionless. 


A-47 is directed down the right path. 


00:08 A-47 continues down the path, which at this point 
should place the drone back within Observational 
Site-2385. Over a dozen unborn SCP-2385-1 and -2 are 
growing throughout this hall [see attached photo], and 
A-47 is maneuvered around them. 


00:19 An instance of SCP-2385-1 is laying to the side of 
the tunnel, and is ingesting another instance. It lashes 
out when the drone draws near, but cannot fully 
ambulate due to its feeding. 


00:24 Three fighting SCP-2385-1 block further progress. 
A-47 directed to turn around. The path A-47 had been 
travelling down can be seen to end abruptly. With no 
further options, A-47 continues towards the instances. 


00:26 The largest of the instances is killed. Its head and 
tail are swallowed by the remaining SCP-2385-1, which 
begin to manipulate it down their throats. A-47 is able to 
continue unimpeded. 


00:29 An SCP-2385-1 instance, which had been spotted 
from afar growing from the ceiling, detaches as A-47 
passes beneath it. The instance attacks A-47, rendering 
it immobile after several strikes. 


00:31 The instance wraps around A-47, and attempts to 
consume it. 


00:43 The instance gives up, and leaves the area. 


09:32 The wall to A-47's left opens up, and two 
SCP-2385-2 exit. One instance approaches A-47 while 
the other one prods the wall to the right, which opens as 
well. D-11424 emerges from the tunnel to A-47's left, 
brandishing his machete. Both instances exit through the 
new tunnel, followed by D-11424.
