Description: SCP-1786 is, in substance, a standard -brand 
electric coffee percolator, designed in 1999 and manufactured in 
2000. Its design specifications detail a six-piece composition of 
stainless steel, copper and rubber which act to brew coffee by 
cycling water through coffee grounds. It is not possible to 
disassemble SCP-1786 or turn it off. 


Although materially it is a coffee percolator, in appearance 
SCP-1786 has all of the observable distinctions of a rowboat and its 
oars. It appears to measure 2.8 m long by 1.2 m wide, with oars 

2.4 m long, and to be built from wooden timbers that have suffered 
slight degradation both before and after its construction. Visible 
water damage as well as an apparent lack of maintenance have led 
to discoloration and rotting along the underside of the hull. This 
seems to suggest that if SCP-1786 actually were a rowboat, it would 
not be seaworthy. Block lettering painted upon SCP-1786's bow 
gives its name as Rumford's Own; no such percolator has been 
found in any national ship registry. SCP-1786's form has not 


degraded further during its containment. 


Despite its altered appearance, SCP-1786's physical nature exists 
as an electric coffee percolator, and it performs the designated 
functions of such a device. Through an unknown process, 
SCP-1786 continuously condenses atmospheric moisture into its 
bottom chamber. When it has become filled with liquid water above 
a minimum level of 2 cm, SCP-1786 will brew it into a standard 
medium roast coffee, free of grounds. The coffee is chemically non- 
anomalous, smelling and tasting normal for percolated coffee. 
SCP-1786 is capable of completely cycling its brew once every two 
seconds while running, resulting in inordinately strong brews to the 
point of human caffeine toxicity within 40 minutes if no additional 
water is added. As the filtering basket is inaccessible, it is unknown 
what kind of coffee beans are used, or whether any are used at all. It 
is also unknown how it remains powered; however, traces on the 
Foundation power supply grid have reported that the nearest 
electrical outlet to SCP-1786 consistently draws 800 W more than 
can be explained by connected devices. As of - - , ithas not 
been possible to keep SCP-1786 from obtaining electricity. 


As there is no limit to the amount of atmospheric moisture 
SCP-1786 can condense and brew, if exposed to the outside world it 
would eventually lead to an NK-class scenario involving the 
conversion of all available water into coffee. 


Addendum: SCP-1786 was recovered from Lake in ; 
where significant environmental damage had been noted and was 
conjectured to be the result of a chemical spill. SCP-1786 was found 
on the southern shore overflowing with coffee, which had spilled into 
and polluted the lake, killing most of the aquatic fauna aside from a 
strain of algae which had adapted to metabolize caffeine. From 
documentation in the boathouse nearby, it was determined that 
SCP-1786 had been in its current location for 9 years. The 
boathouse, formerly owned by the family but since 
abandoned, also contained SCP-1786's original packaging, which is 
appropriately sized for the rowboat which SCP-1786 resembles. The 
product description from said packaging is as follows:

When transportation was attempted, it was found that SCP-1786 
can only be physically interacted with, i.e. moved, filled or emptied, if 
it is fully believed to be a coffee percolator despite all evidence to 
the contrary.

SCP-1787: The Dog Whittler 


Item #: SCP-1787 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1787-A is to be contained 
in standard living quarters with suitable furnishings, including a bed, 
a bedside table and a lamp, a recliner and a workbench. Other 
entertainment materials such as books and musical equipment are 
to be given at the discretion of the on duty researcher. SCP-1787-A 
is to be made to believe it resides in a retirement home in , Italy. 


SCP-1787-A is only allowed access to its tools during its whittling 
sessions. Otherwise the tools are to be kept in a locked drawer in 
Dr. Scooter’s office. 


All deliveries of SCP-1787-B are to be taken to SCP-1787-A's living 
quarters after screening. One armed guard and one licensed 
veterinary physician are to be present while SCP-1787-A whittles. 
Dog food and a water dish are to be provided during these sessions. 
Any unfinished SCP-1787-B creations are to be transported to the 
on-site kennel and treated like non-anomalous canines (as far as 
physically possible) until they are completed. 


All of SCP-1787-A’s creations are to be given thorough physical 
examinations prior to euthanization. Post-mortem samples are to be 
collected, analyzed, and cryogenically stored for future research 
potential. Any remains are to be incinerated. SCP-1787-A is to be 
told that its creations are sent to caring homes. 


Description: SCP-1787-A is an Italian man, approximately 65-70 
years old and 1.7 meters tall. SCP-1787-A’s appearance is 
consistent with its age and ethnicity and generally unremarkable. 


Once per week, SCP-1787-A receives one (1) package regardless 
of its location. Packages are only marked with SCP-1787-A’s name 


( ), a breed of domesticated dog (Canis /upus familiaris), a 
gender, and a return address. Packages range in size between ten 
(10) cm3 and seventy-five (75) cm3 and weigh between three (3) 
and eighty (80) kilograms2. 


Inside each package is a cube of biological material, designated 
SCP-1787-B. These consist of undifferentiated flesh intermittently 
covered with fur. DNA testing matches that of C. /upus familiaris. 
SCP-1787-A uses SCP-1787-B as sculpting medium similar to clay 
and will use a variety of bladed instruments, such as planes, files, 
knives and chisels$ to carve a dog in accordance with the desired 
specifications written on the package. Depending on the size of the 
dog and the purported quality of the SCP-1787-B (as identified by 
SCP-1787-A), this can take between 6 hours and 5 days. 


During this process, SCP-1787-A will carve out canine features. 
Finished sections of SCP-1787-A's carvings will become animate 
and respond as expected for a domesticated dog to its master (For 
example, a carved tail wags, a finished mouth and jaw area will bark 
and pant.) The animal shows no sign of pain whilst other parts of its 
body are being carved and sculpted (and have shown signs of 
boredom until it is finished.) A finished creation by SCP-1787-A is 
identical, physically and genetically to a naturally bred canine of the 
same breed. 


The source and method of creation of SCP-1787-B is unknown. The 
only information that SCP-1787-A is able or willing to provide 
regarding this is that "an old friend sends it." 


SCP-1787-A was discovered in , Italy, after one of its unfinished 
creations bit a tourist. Local authorities were alerted and embedded 
agents retrieved SCP-1787-A from its workshop without incident. 
Class-C amnestics were administered to the tourists and a cover 
story that the individual was attacked by a stray dog was easily 
planted. 


Footnotes 

1. This return address leads to an abandoned dog kennelin __ , 

2. These ranges typically correspond to the average weight and size 
of the dog indicated on the package. 

3. Although SCP-1787-A prefers to use the set of tools it owned 


prior to Foundation custody, it is capable of using any appropriate 
tools without difficulty.

SCP-1788: The Adults 


Item #: SCP-1788 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-1788 is 
currently impossible. Embedded agenis in various governments, 
including those of : , and , are working to 
enact mandatory roentgen screenings under the guise of 
tuberculosis eradication, as a means of pinpointing SCP-1788-1 
instances. Any suspected instances of SCP-1788-1 are to be 
reported immediately to Armed Biological Area-223 Command. 
Personnel are not to engage suspected instances and should retreat 
immediately. 


The Foundation currently has seven (7) instances of SCP-1788-1 
imprisoned in Armed Biological Area-223. Contact with these 
instances is strictly forbidden outside of approved experiments. 
Each instance is to be housed in a separate humanoid containment 
cell. Feeding and cleaning requirements are laid out in document 
1788-CF. 


No more SCP-1788-1 instances are required for current research 
purposes; any newly-discovered instances of SCP-1788-1 are 
preemptively cleared by O5 command for immediate termination by 
Armed Mobile Task Force Tau-4 ("All Things Bright and Dutiful"). 


Description: SCP-1788 is a process, treatment, or other means of 
biological transformation. A prepubescent human being subjected to 
SCP-1788 becomes an instance of SCP-1788-1. Currently the 
creator(s) or discoverer(s) of SCP-1788 is unknown; groups of 
interest are being investigated. Finding the origin of SCP-1788 is 
considered a Sindri-level priority. 


On reaching adulthood, SCP-1788-1 instances display predatory 
behavior towards prepubescent humans. Typically, they will settle in 


a large urban center, find a form of white-collar employment,! then 
begin tracking prepubescents in the area. Approximately once every 
six (6) months, an SCP-1788-1 instance will attempt to abduct one 
of the prepubescents it has been tracking and take them to a remote 
or otherwise unobserved location, where it is subjected to the 
SCP-1788 process and turned into an instance of SCP-1788-1. 


Little information has been gathered from captured instances of 
SCP-1788-1. Instances are of above-average intelligence, and 
show extremely strong resistance to compulsion, coercion, torture, 
[DATA EXPUNGED], and other forms of information extraction. 
Every instance to date has also shown signs of malignant 
narcissism and psychopathy; they generally have a complete lack of 
empathy while also showing keen psychological insight. For these 
reasons, among others, unauthorized contact with SCP-1788-1 
instances is strictly forbidden. 


Individual instances generally do not voluntarily gather or interact, 
except for the purposes of mating; in fact, when two or more 
instances are placed in the same environment, they typically fight for 
dominance. This behavior is not gender-linked; females and males 
will fight one another in addition to their own genders, and ina 
mixed-gender group there will be only one dominant individual, who 
may be male or female. Captured instances are housed separately 
to minimize damage. Multiple instances have been seen in the same 
general urban area, but never in a ratio greater than 1:100,000 
normal humans.% 


Mating season apparently occurs annually, but is not seasonally 
linked: instances in some environments have been observed mating 
in the summer, while other instances have been observed mating in 
winter months. SCP-1788-1 instances will exclusively mate with one 
another; they have no apparent sexual attraction to normal humans. 
Gestation period for SCP-1788-1 instances is approximately forty 
(40) weeks, roughly the same as humans. Their offspring are 
genetically indistinguishable from normal humans and are not 
considered anomalous; however, as they are prime candidates for 
undergoing the SCP-1788 process, their capture or termination is to 
be considered high priority, second only to the termination of 
SCP-1788-1 instances. 


+ SCP-1788-1 Anatomy 


SCP-1788-1 Anatomy: It is extremely difficult to 
distinguish an instance of SCP-1788-1 from a normal 
adult human, even on close inspection. Individuals show 
variation as expected from gender and ethnicity, but 
share certain characteristics in common. SCP-1788-1 
individuals appear to be obese, within the range of one 
hundred and fifty (150) to two hundred (200) kilograms 
when fully grown.4 SCP-1788-1 instances have larger- 
than-average eyes, though not enough to appear 
abnormal on casual inspection. Their sweat contains 
high levels of potassium and copper, though still within 
the normal range for an adult human. 


Though externally normal, their internal anatomy has 
been extensively changed. SCP-1 788-1 instances' long 
bones and cranium have been reinforced with several 
heavy metals, and their muscle fibers have been 
interwoven with structures resembling carbon nanotubes. 
This gives them durability, strength, and speed well 
above the human baseline; see document 1788-1-DX for 
measurements and estimates. (Level 3 clearance is 
required.) 


SCP-1788-1 instances possess backup organs and 
systems for most of their bodies' vital processes. For 
example, they have a secondary heart, lower in the 
torso, which can work in tandem with the primary heart to 
more efficiently circulate blood, or can function 
independently as necessary. Certain blood vessels have 
complex "valve" structures, allowing instances to close 
off blood flow to damaged limbs and other areas to 
prevent excessive blood loss. Other organ systems also 
have two or three redundant backups that can take over 
in the event of the failure of the primary organ(s). 


SCP-1788-1 instances also possess a secondary brain, 
located in the upper torso and protected by its own 
skeletal structure, similar in construction to the ribcage. 
Currently the exact function of this brain is unknown; it is 


known that this brain can continue to function even in the 
event of the destruction of the primary brain, as 
demonstrated by Incident 1788-XR-12.5 


The final difference in gross anatomy is the appearance 
of a second pair of arms, located directly below the main 
pair. These have apparently equal strength and dexterity 
to the upper pair, and SCP-1788-1 instances are 
apparently capable of using all four arms simultaneously. 
When not actively hunting, instances hold the lower pair 
folded closely to their sides, where they are largely 
concealed by natural bulk. When hidden in this manner, 
it is virtually impossible to distinguish a clothed instance 
of SCP-1788-1 from a normal, obese human, except on 
close inspection.
