SCP-024 Caregiver

SCP-24 is a large furry mammal that is similar to Bigfoot's described appearance.

SCP-24 was discovered in Canada during 1981 by research team California and task force manticore. The team was investigating a possible bigfoot sighting and was sent to sedate and contain the creature. When they entered its territory, the team saw strange occurrences. There was huts built out of sticks and animal furs, and poorly carved roads in the snow. The team investigated further and saw that there was a structure made of stone and that there were multiple heat signatures inside, one being noticeably bigger then the rest. As the team moved in, they saw a bunch of children huddled around a tall creature they could not described (later described as a Bigfoot looking creature) and had its arms around the children. When manticore moved closer the creature it grew more defensive, hugging the children tighter and growling at the task force, which researchers describe as "territorial behavior". The SCP would not move until the men started to point guns at the children, then the creature attacked. Seven out of the 31 men were killed, and 12 injured in the capture of SCP-24. Luckily the children did not use their powers to defend the creature, or that would have been catastrophic.

After it was in containment the children were sent to a foundation facility to be tested for anomalies and health conditions, as well as to be questioned by foundation employees and to find out more about SCP-24.

All children were tested, and all of them had anomalies detected.

All of the children were sent to a special SCP facility to school them and raise them, and after some time a few of the children were adopted by researchers.

**Children found**

James Barkley

Nationality: USA

Ability: Able to see 10 seconds into the future

Camdon Mcfloyd

**After being captured, SCP-24 was taken to Corvis-1 and kept in a secured room. When asking the children questions, the children responded in the following.**

Q: What is its name?

A: Dad? what do you mean, isn't it pretty obvious?

Q: Did it kidnap you?

A: No, dad found us when we were alone and abandoned.

Q: how were you all surviving in the snowy forest, you were all wearing summer wear.

A: When we are near dad, we don't need jackets. He loves us so much that we warm up.

Q: Did the creature ever hurt you?

A: No

Q: How did you kids get your super powers?

A: We had them since we were born.

Q: Why were you in Canada?

A: What's Canada?

**After the Q and A. the foundation were able to discover what SCP-24 is.**

SCP-24 is described by the children as a father, a loving and caring one at that. The oldest child (13) was taken in when he was around 3. The creature also seems to have the ability to warm the children, generating warmth both physically and emotionally (Dr. Kynes also suggested spiritually, but that is hard to prove).

SCP-24's main goal seems to be to take care of super powered children that have been abandoned.

It does not possess some immense strength or speed, and it is unknown how it got to so many different areas of the world, but it did. Since it has a strong bond with the children it is allowed to visit them, and it seems to communicate telepathically, and is unwilling to respond to researchers. The children also will not say what SCP-24 said to them.

Neutral, safe, non-testing.
