SCP-382-2 appears to be an infant, between and _ months old, 
extremely emaciated, with several injuries that seem to vary with 
each manifestation. On different occasions, SCP-382-2 has shown 
heavy bruising, broken bones, and sometimes [DATA EXPUNGED] 
despite which 382-2 could still make vocalizations, although it is 
unknown how this was possible. When SCP-382-1 is not being 
interacted with, SCP-382-2 manifests every to minutes, staying 
between and minutes. However, when a person places their

SCP-3076: Avidity 


Item #: SCP-3076 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3076 is to be contained in 
a dedicated aviary at Site-104. It is to be fed twice daily, and 
provided new forms of simple entertainment monthly. Visual contact 
with SCP-3076 is to be limited to an absolute minimum. Outside of 
testing, no personnel are allowed entry to the containment chamber. 
Test subjects must be confined to a cell or containment chamber to 
prevent the possible spread of infection. It is recommended that test 
subjects in the tertiary stage of SCP-3076-A be terminated, and all 
related materials destroyed. Any contact between SCP-3076 and 
computer systems is strictly prohibited. 


Description: SCP-3076 is an albino black-billed magpie (Pica 
hudsonia).! It is abnormally intelligent, expressing an understanding 
of written language, though it is unable to understand most verbal 
communication. It is estimated that SCP-3076 has the mental 
capacity of a ten-year-old human being. SCP-3076 is capable of 
deceptive behavior, such as feigning illness or ignorance, and 
possesses extremely long-term recall. SCP-3076 may use these 
skills in attempts to escape containment unless properly cared for. 


When directly viewing SCP-3076, all sapient beings analytical 
systems will feel a compulsion to produce some type of artistic 
expression. This is the first stage of the SCP-3076 cognitive 
infection (SCP-3076-A). Those with a preexisting disposition toward 
one form or medium will feel compelled to more strongly pursue 
these prior tendencies. Those with no previous experience with 
artistic expression appear to select a random art form to pursue. 
SCP-3076 is only able to produce this effect after several 
aggregated hours of viewing, though the precise number varies from 
subject to subject. It is also possible to transfer the effect through 
other sensory means, especially if the subject is blind, though the 


time required for infection to occur is much higher. Note that this 
stage of the infection is reversible if contact between SCP-3076 and 
the subject is terminated. 


To date, no subjects have expressed satisfaction with their work, 
and will continue to produce art in an attempt to improve. After 
approximately two weeks, SCP-3076-A enters its secondary stage, 
and no action short of induced coma will reverse the effects. 
Subjects in this stage of infection will improve at a normal rate, 
considering heightened resolve and enthusiasm. Over time, subjects 
will continue to devote more and more time to the pursuit of their art 
form. Without outside intervention, about 80% of subjects expire due 
to thirst or starvation, as most affected individuals forego basic 
needs in the pursuit of their art form. 


The SCP-3076-A enters its tertiary stage approximately 13 months 
after initial exposure. Subjects will begin to produce anomalous 
artwork, most commonly bearing cognitohazardous material. It is 
unconfirmed whether the SCP-3076-A is able to spread via these 
works. 


Addendum 3076-1: Recovery 


SCP-3076 was found after Incident 3066-5, in the forests of Linville 
Gorge, North Carolina. It was initially collected by Foundation 
operatives as a part of the reconstruction operation after Incident 
3066-5, and its anomalous properties discovered after many of the 
personnel involved with its recovery began to neglect their 
professional duties. Upon confirmation of its anomalous properties, 
SCP-3076 was moved to Site-104 for containment and further study. 


Addendum 3076-2: Sample Test Log 


The following is an incomplete log of SCP-3076 testing to highlight 
noteworthy findings. 


+Show test logs 
Test #:5 
Subject: D-461923 (Note: before 


incarceration, D-461923 was a mural artist) 


Description: D-461923 was made to spend 2 
full days in the presence of SCP-3076 before 
being removed from the containment chamber. 
Even before removal, D-461923 repeatedly 
requested access to painting materials, and 
began using the foliage within the containment 
chamber as a pigment to paint the walls. It is 
worth note that SCP-3076 attempted to aid 
D-461923 in her work on several occasions. 


Upon removal, the subject was provided with 
an intravenous hydration and parenteral 
nutrition to ensure survival, then provided with 
the requested materials. Against administrative 
recommendation, D-461923 was allowed to 
work on the walls of Site-104 facilities, and 
covered 74% of the accessible surfaces on the 
site with murals of varying subject matter. 


103 days after initial exposure, D-46193 
produced a cognitohazardous piece covering 
one of the exterior walls of the main research 
complex. Viewing of the piece would cause 
rapid memory loss and dementia-like 
symptoms, though D-46193 herself was 
immune to the effect. The test subject was 
immediately terminated and all contaminated 
surfaces destroyed. 


This was been an extremely expensive 
misjudgment on the part of the research staff. 
I'll see to it that those responsible are held 
accountable. —Site Director 


Test #: 7 


Subject: A non-anomalous African Bush 
Elephant (Loxodonta africana) 


Description: The subject was made to spend 
2 full days in the presence of SCP-3076 before 
being removed from containment chamber. 23 
hours after removal, the subject became 
agitated and paced around its holding pen, 
before using its drinking water to produce 
seemingly random splash patterns on the 
ground. The subject was provided with simple 
painting materials, and began teaching itself 
how to use them. 


40 days after initial exposure, the subject was 
consistently producing recognizable images of 
elephants, and had stopped actively seeking 
food. A modified intravenous nutritional system 
was provided and testing continued. 57 days 
later, the subject was able to produce photo- 
realistic representations of its surroundings. 


120 days after initial exposure, test 
supervisors reported unusual headaches and 
nosebleeds while observing the subject in the 
process of painting. The test subject was 
preemptively terminated and all accumulated 
works incinerated. 


Test #: 10 
Subject: SCP-3076 


Description: SCP-3076 was placed ina 
containment chamber fitted with wall-spanning 
mirrors. 7 days were allowed to pass. No 
changes in the behavior of SCP-3076 were 
noted, beyond some curiosity in its own 
reflection. SCP-3076 became restless after 6 
days and feigned illness, causing the 
unscheduled termination of the test. 


Test #: 13 


Subject: A standard Foundation desktop 
computer. 


Description: The subject was placed in the 
same chamber as SCP-3076, provided with a 
dedicated power supply, and disconnected 
from the Foundation Intranet. A camera and 
evolutionary symphonic generation software 
were installed. The software was made to 
produce new music as quickly as it could, and 
would use direct input from test supervisors to 
judge the quality of the generated 
compositions. 


After 5 days, the subject ran out of RAM and 
the software became ineffective. Necessary 
modifications were made and the test 
continued. 23 days after initial exposure, the 
subject began producing variations on the 
same two compositions. Believing that the 
program had exhausted its selection of media, 
a flash drive of new sound elements was 
supplied, as well as further improvements to 
the hardware. The test subject continued to 
underperform, despite the modifications. 


24 days after initial exposure, an unknown 
virus was found within the Site-104 computer 
system. While Foundation personnel 
attempted to remove the threat, all speakers 
on site were used to produce a 
cognitohazardous sound. Simultaneously, the 
malicious program hijacked onsite 
communications and began transmitting itself 
to all Foundation sites. Site-104 was 
quarantined and its power cut off in time to 
prevent catastrophic damage, though 
widespread injury to onsite personnel due to 
the sound was sustained. During 
reconstruction, it was discovered that 


SCP-3076 had made several attempts to 
physically tamper with the test subject. It is 
believed that SCP-3076 was attempting to 
connect the device to the Foundation Intranet 
during quarantine, but was unsuccessful. 


We might have to run a few more tests on the 
intelligence of this bird. For the time being, it 
seems smart to keep computers away from it. 
We don’t want a rogue Al on our hands. —Site 
Director 


Footnotes 

1. It is hypothesized thatSCP-3025may originate from SCP-3076, 
though comparison of genetic material between the two objects has 
proven inconclusive due to biological degradation and limited 
sample size of SCP-3025. 


SCP-3077: Sugar Golems 


Item #: SCP-3077 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3077 is to be kept in 
secured cryogenic storage units at Site-81 when not in use. Any and 
all storage units used to hold or transport SCP-3077 must be filled to 
maximum capacity to prevent the accidental emergence of 
SCP-3077-1. Instances of SCP-3077-1 and -2 may only be created 
with permission from SCP-3077’s head researcher. Said instances 
may only be created within a hermetically sealed and fully secured 
test chamber, and must either be destroyed via incineration or 
returned to cryogenic storage once testing is concluded. 


Description: SCP-3077 refers to a quantity of nearly 2280 liters of 
black treacle. It was originally found contained in ten oak barrels 
imprinted with the label "Tillie's Terrifically Ticklish and 
Tremendously Thaumaturgical Treacle!". SCP-3077's primary 
anomalous property is that it is animate, and unless confined to a 
suitably small space or kept at cryogenic temperatures, the main 
body of SCP-3077 will split off into numerous instances of 
SCP-3077-1. 


Instances of SCP-3077-1 are coagulated masses of SCP-3077 that 
resemble gaunt humanoids missing their lower extremities. Though 
size varies significantly, instances are on average 1.0 meters in 
height and composed of 7-8 liters of SCP-3077. Instances are 
capable of producing crude vocalizations though are incapable of 
speech. Individual instances of SCP-3077-1 typically possess 
orifices upon the head to approximate facial features, however the 
size, shape, position and number of these orifices varies between 
instances. Instances are often deformed in some manner, common 
deformities including collapsed skulls and disproportionate body 
parts, with nearly a third of all instances being conjoined at various 
points of the body. 


Instances of SCP-3077-1 will drag themselves around aimlessly until 
encountering human life, at which point they will swarm any humans 
present and attempt to enter their mouths. Since instances do not 
possess anomalous strength or durability, it is possible for initial 
assaults to be fended off. However, SCP-3077-1 instances can only 
be effectively terminated by exposure to temperatures in excess of 
176 degrees Celsius. If destroyed by brute force, SCP-3077-1 will 
immediately reconstitute into new instances and resume its assault. 
Tests with D-class have shown that SCP-3077-1 will maintain their 
assault indefinitely until victims are too exhausted to defend 
themselves. 


Once SCP-3077-1 has entered the mouth of its victim, it will override 
their central nervous systems via yet undetermined means and 
control them in a jerky, puppet-like manner. At this point the victim is 
classified as SCP-3077-2. EEG readings indicate that instances of 
SCP-3077-2 remain fully conscious. Tendrils of SCP-3077 will 
typically emerge from the mouth and run across the instances’ face 
along random paths, with subcutaneous tendrils often being visible 
throughout the body. 


Upon finding humans unaffected by SCP-3077-1, instances of 
SCP-3077-2 will put on a performance to the best of its ability, 
dancing about in an uncoordinated manner and producing hoarse, 
incoherent songs from its throat. The performance will continue until 
either the audience is out of sight or the instance expires. Instances 
of SCP-3077-2 can live for several days before dying of dehydration. 
Instances will not consume food or drink of their own accord, but can 
be kept alive indefinitely if restrained and provided with an IV drip or 
force fed. Upon expiration, the instance of SCP-3077-1 will abandon 
its host and seek a new victim. 


Recovery: SCP-3077 was acquired by the Foundation after an 
anonymous phone call indicated the presence of Gol-233 (Herman 
Fuller's Circus of the Disquieting) in County, Indiana. Mobile 
Task Force Kappa 14 "AH! Sideshow Bob!" was dispatched and 
upon arrival discovered the barrels originally containing SCP-3077, 
a mound of 40 burned corpses (all determined to have been 
previous instances of SCP-3077-2) and a woman designated 
Pol-3077-01. Upon recovery, Pol-3077-01 was bound, gagged, and 


blindfolded. 


Below is the preliminary interview with Pol-3077-01 and MTF Kappa 
14, recovered from the commander’s bodycam. 


<Begin Log> 


Commander: Christ, this one's alive. Miss? Miss, can 
you hear me? (Pol-3077-01 nods and vocalizes 
emphatically) Good. I’m going to untie you, is that all 
right? 


(Pol-3077-01 nods again, and the commander proceeds 
to undo her bindings. Upon doing so, he uncovers 
Document 3077-01) 


Pol-3077-01: Oh my God, thank you so much. | thought | 
was going to die out here. 


Commander: Miss, can you tell me what happened to 
you, or to those bodies? 


Pol-3077-01: Are you cops? You look like a S.W.A.T. 
team or something. 


Commander: Who we are isn't important at the moment. 
We're here because we got a tip that Herman Fuller's 
Circus was in the area, and judging by your... colourful 
apparel, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you 
weren't just some unlucky guest who walked in on them 
milking the Clowns. Am | wrong? 


Pol-3077-01: (Hesitates briefly) Okay, yes, | was with the 
Circus; but I’m pretty sure I’m out of a gig now. My name 
is Saccharina Sweet, and I’m a Carnival Confectionarian. 
| made magic candy for them, but they tied me up and 
left me out here in the middle of nowhere so screw ‘em. 
(Visibly upset) They killed my babies, burned them alive 
with me lying here helpless! I'll tell you anything you want 
to know if you promise I'll be free to go afterwards. 


Commander: It’s not my call to decide what happens to 


you Miss, but | am going to get you somewhere you'll be 
safe. If you can tell us what happened here it would help 
us out a lot, and might make the eggheads more inclined 
to go easy on you. 


Pol-3077-01: Fair enough. | can do that. | guess it 
started a few months ago when | was studying the 
Thaumaturgical Treacle and reading over my Nana's old 
Book of Shadows to try to come up with some new 
recipes, and | realized that with a few simple 
modifications | could turn the treacle into Sugar Golems. 
| thought they’d be gooey little people, singing and 
dancing for the crowds. They’d be a huge hit and | might 
be able to move myself up the Circus’s pecking order. So 
| pitched my idea to Icky... 


Commander: Who's Icky?
