SCP-2479-A is the collective designation for between twenty (20) 
and thirty (30) entities that appear as humanoid animals, styled 
appropriately for their position in the park’, hereby referred to as 
their "territory". Each instance speaks standard English in a comical, 
high-pitched voice similar to those used by performers to entertain 
children. SCP-2479-A instances are completely unresponsive to 
questions or interrogative actions from personnel and will instead 
issue simplistic lines encouraging them to get on one of the park 
rides. SCP-2479-A have been observed to communicate subvocally 
with one another. Instances do not interact with animals and are 
additionally labelled SCP-2479-A-1 through -A-16 to denote their 
territory, which can be shared by multiple instances of the same 
designation. 


An SCP-2479-A-11 instance in containment. 


Testing of recovered samples from SCP-2479-A instances has 
shown that they are covered in a downy growth of thick hair similar 
to organisms suffering from hypertrichosis. This thick hair will, in 
most cases, form the shape of a plushy mascot outfit on the skin 
and harden into permanent epidermal growths around the mouth, 
ears and eyes. SCP-2479-A vary greatly in the amount of hair they 
develop and many suffer from unique physical abnormalities 
depending on the subject animal of their appearance (see 
Addendum 2479a). 


SCP-2479-A instances have been observed to sexually reproduce, 
though not between designations (See Incident Log 2479/2). 


All SCP-2479-A have a capacity to be hostile but have only been 
observed to become aggressive if: 


* an individual is acting hostile towards them 

* an individual is perceived as obtrusive, disruptive or irritating4 

* an individual was observed entering SCP-2479 in any way 
besides that of direct entry through the main gateway. 


SCP-2479-A have been observed to attack in a primitive scratching 
and biting manner. 


SCP-2479-B is the collective designation of between five hundred 


(500) and seven hundred (700) animal masks located in a series of 
large crates in the storage shed at SCP-2479's main gateway. Each 
mask bears a resemblance towards a unique animal also seen 
elsewhere in the park, either as a ride or as a mascot. When 
attempting to enter SCP-2479 through the main gate, the 
SCP-2479-A instance currently in the ticket booth will prompt a 
visitor to approach the ticket booth and collect a mask before 
entering SCP-2479's active zone. 


SCP-2479-B's anomalous properties occur over a period of roughly 
two (2) hours when worn by a subject, and when that subject is 
within SCP-2479's active zone. 


Within a few minutes, subjects will experience extreme abdominal 
pains, intensified rate of perspiration and abnormally dilated pupils. 
After wearing SCP-2479-B for more than ten (10) minutes, these 
symptoms will persist regardless of the presence of SCP-2479-B, 
and after fifteen (15) minutes the symptoms will persist outside of 
SCP-2479's active zone. Further symptoms will become apparent 
towards the end of the first hour; these include hyperhidrosis, 
uncontrollable shivering and, most importantly, acute hypertrichosis, 
resulting in an alarmingly rapid outgrowth of bodily and facial hair. 
All symptoms will be more painful and of a longer duration if the 
SCP-2479-B instance is not removed. 


Bodily and facial hair will harden into thick keratin rings around 
orifices and abnormal keratin structures will begin to form during the 
secondary hour. At this point, if still present, the SCP-2479-B 
instance will either be forcefully removed due to the development of 
obtrusive facial structures or fuse into the skin. 


Subjects will eventually begin to develop features which coincide 
with the animal depicted on the SCP-2479-B instance which they 
were afflicted by. Mental deterioration begins after roughly one (1) 
hour and fifteen (15) minutes, after which point the subject - hereby 
an SCP-2479-A instance - will attempt to move towards the ride that 
depicts the animal that they represent and acknowledge it as their 
territory. All memories from the instance's past life will be either 
erased or ignored and the instance will cease answering questions 
or responding to conversational stimuli. 


Subjects recovered before fifteen (15) minutes of SCP-2479-B 
exposure will suffer permanent scarring if removal surgery is 
performed to clear them of hair growths.

EDIT as of 11/02/ : Following Incident 2479/1, SCP-2479-A 
instances have been observed to interact in a manner consistent 
with their position on the Charles Elton food chain model. This 
model follows a linear order in which each organism is sustained 
through consumption of the animal before it; therefore, SCP-2479-A 
instances can be appropriately split into Primary, Secondary, 
Tertiary and Apex consumer subcategories. 


As an example, SCP-2479-A-13 instances (considered fox-like, 
resembling members of the species V. vulpes) will periodically retire 
from wandering SCP-2479-13 "territory", reportedly doing so 
biweekly or when one is beginning to show symptoms of

takes up most of the front of 
SCP-274-1-3. 

SCP-274-1-4 illustrates 
what is presumed to be 
Noah's ark at sea. The 
creatures boarding the ark 
do not match any known 
species. The ark is depicted 
to have a face with several 
sharp teeth, and eyes 
devoid of pupils or irises. 
SCP-274-1-5 depicts 
several figures in level three 
bio hazard suits at the base. 
Figures are seen fighting 
each other for what appears 
to be a bottle of hand- 
sanitizer. Several cadavers 
are piled on top of one 
another in the background, 
with a large green cloud in 
the shape of a canine-like 
face emitting from them. 
This face is shown laughing, 
presumably at the people 
fighting. 

SCP-274-1-6 is painted to 
resemble a mausoleum, 
with a large human skull 
painted on its front. 
Illustrated at the base of 
SCP-274-1-6 are figures 
suffering from advanced 
stages of rigor mortis. Most 
notable is that several 
figures appear to be 
wearing the standard-issue 
tactical armor distributed to 
MTF Pi-T. 

SCP-274-1-7 is decorated 


malnutritionS. Following this, SCP-2479-A-13 instances have been 
observed to seek instances of SCP-2479-A-4 or SCP-2479-A-11 
(resembling ducks and birds, respectively) and [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
SCP-2479-A-13 instances have been observed to "hunt" alone or in 
pairs, whereas other Tertiary consumers such as SCP-2479-A-5 
(considered representative of members of the species C. /upus) will 
not embark from their territory in groups of fewer than three (3). 


+ Incident Log 2479/1 


On // , between four (4) and seven (7) 
SCP-2479-A-5 (C. /upus) instances 
spontaneously fled the immediate vicinity of 
SCP-2479-5, an entirely unanticipated event of 
an alarming speed and scale. All instances 
traveled at high speed towards SCP-2479-6 
and attacked all but two of the nine (9) 
SCP-2479-A-6 instances wandering its locale. 
This behaviour had not been observed before, 
even in experiments involving instance-to- 
instance interaction. 


After about seven (7) minutes of scrimmage, 
and during the process of arranging MTF 
intervention, all SCP-2479-A-5 instances 
retrieved the nearest dead or incapacitated 
instance of SCP-2479-A-6 and returned to 
their territory at a much slower speed than 
which they had left at. Over the next six (6) 
hours, each SCP-2479-A-5 instance gradually 
consumed the instance it had appropriated. 


Due to the unexpected nature of this event, no 
data was recorded on the speed of travel or 
method of attack exhibited by SCP-2479-A-5 
instances. Further experimentation in a 
controlled environment is recommended. 


This recent development of a closed ecosystem in SCP-2479's 
active zone has become the primary object of research in Site-2479. 
lt has been hypothesised that a "breeding program" involving 


exposure of subjects to several instances of SCP-2479-B can be 
implemented to introduce an Apex consumer into SCP-2479's 
ecosystem as a means of controlling interactions between 
SCP-2479-A instances. 


Experiments involving the cross-exposure of a single subject to 
multiple instances of SCP-2479-B are documented below. 


+ Testing Log 2479a 


Focus of Experimentation: Preliminary Cross- 
Exposure Testing 


Test A- Date / / 

Subject: D-7220 

Procedure: Subject was exposed to the 
effects of SCP-2479-B-8 (E. f. przewalskii). 
Results: Normal symptoms of SCP-2479-B-8 
affliction observed over a period of two (2) 
hours. Full transformation complete after two 
(2) hours and nine (9) minutes. 
Postliminary: Subject, now an SCP-2479-A-8 
instance, was allowed to reside at 
SCP-2479-8. 


Test B - Date / / 

Subject: SCP-2479-A-8 (formerly D-7220) 
Procedure: Specimen was exposed to the 
effects of SCP-2479-B-8 (the SCP-2479-B 
instance associated with its appearance). 
Results: Normal symptoms of SCP-2479-B-8 
affliction observed over a period of two (2) 
hours. Symptoms occurred at standard 
severity, but alongside already present 
physical abnormalities, roughly doubling the 
size and/or length of the symptoms' physical 
characteristics. This in most cases resulted in 
minor skin abrasions and additional 
malformations in the mouth, nostrils and 
appendages. The skin around these areas was 


observed to stretch (to the point of splitting in 
extreme cases) and the subject exhibited 
normal pain symptoms, as expected. 
Postliminary: Injuries were treated by medical 
personnel and the SCP-2479-A-8 instance 
was contained. 


Test C - Date / / 

Subject: SCP-2479-A-8 (formerly D-7220) 
Procedure: Specimen was exposed to the 
effects of SCP-2479-B-6 (F. catus). 

Results: Normal symptoms of SCP-2479-B-6 
affliction observed over a period of two (2) 
hours. Uncomfortable preliminary symptoms 
were observed to be substantially more painful 
than in previous observations. Teeth became 
further enlarged and developed sharp tips with 
minor dental fractures starting to be observed 
towards the end of exposure. Bodily hair 
roughly doubled in length and hair roots 
formed and began to grow roughly an inch 
above the anus. Abrasions observed as in 
experiment above. 

Postliminary: Injuries were treated by medical 
personnel and the subject, hereby designated 
SCP-2479-A-7/6®, was contained for study. 


Note: SCP-2479-B seems to afflict whomever 
it is worn by, irrespective of any previous 
exposure. The symptoms it induces simply 
‘overlap’ with previous physical properties; 
bodily hair will double in length, teeth with 
double in size and wiath, etcetera. Considering 
that the resulting wounds can be safely 
treated, cross-exposure with SCP-2479-B 
instances in the interest of creating an 
SCP-2479-A instance that fits the role of an 
Apex consumer is plausible. - Dr.

Focus of Experimentation: Creating Potential 
SCP-2479-A Apex Consumer 


Note: Permission was granted for experiments 
with the goal of creating an Apex consumer by 
Site Director —_. The subject selected for this 
series of experiments, D-6018, was chosen for 
his athleticism and high standards of 
performance in physical examinations. - Dr. 


Test A- Date / / 

Subject: D-6018 

Procedure: Subject was exposed to the 
effects of SCP-2479-B-6 (F. catus). 

Results: SCP-2479-B-6 symptoms observed 
as normal. Full transformation was complete 
after two (2) hours and seventeen (17) 
minutes. 

Postliminary: SCP-2479-A-6 instance was 
sent to temporary containment. 


Test B - Date / / 

Subject: SCP-2479-A-6 (formerly D-6018) 
Procedure: Specimen was exposed to the 
effects of SCP-2479-B-13 (V. vulpes). 
Results: Instance developed larger and 
sharper teeth, as well as various vestigial 
dental formations. Bodily hair roughly doubled 
in length. Instance's skin developed several 
malformed keratin growths of unknown 
purpose, along with several minor cases of 
inflammation akin to acute dermatitis. 
Postliminary: Subject, hereby designated 
SCP-2479-A-6/13, underwent minor 
restorative surgery to clear skin of epidermal 
growths and to treat inflammation. SCP-2479- 
A-6/13 was later contained in a temporary 
containment cell. 


Note: Before Test B, SCP-2479-A-6/13 


consistently tried to approach and claim 
SCP-2479-6 as territory, but its recent cross- 
exposure seems to have rendered it totally 
abstinent in this regard. It does, however, 
continue to attempt to follow regular hunting 
patterns. Future experimentation will hopefully 
reveal more about its attitude to the notion of 
‘territory’ and its potential as a method of 
breach prevention and population control. - Dr. 


Test C - Date / / 

Subject: SCP-2479-A-6/13 (formerly D-6018) 
Procedure: Specimen was exposed to the 
effects of SCP-2479-B-16 (T. blondi). 
Results: Instance began but did not complete 
the growth of six appendages which sprouted 
from the 12th vertebra of the spine and 
stopped growing at between four (4) and six 
(6) inches. Hair grew minimally but increased 
in quantity, covering more of the skin's surface 
area, including the aforementioned additional 
appendages. Instance developed four (4) 
keratin growths in the facial region with 
placements similar to those of additional eyes 
on an arachnid. Large, dense keratin growths 
penetrated skin and grew up to five (5) 
centimeters outwards from the epidermal 
layer. Specimen also began to demonstrate 
[DATA EXPUNGED], as with other SCP-2479- 
A-16 instances. Extreme levels of pain were 
exhibited before subject spontaneously lost 
consciousness nearing the end of the second 
hour, presumably as a reaction to stress and 
discomfort. Inflammation symptoms returned 
as before. 

Postliminary: Subject, hereby designated 
SCP-2479-AX, underwent extensive 
restorative surgery to clear skin of large 
epidermal growths and facial keratin
