SCP-3853 (Asriel)

Item #: SCP-3853

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3853 is kept in a standard humanoid containment cell inside the Site-94 nursery in Area 38. No children should ever be exposed to SCP-3853 or the accompanying phenomena, and testing must be performed under the direct supervision of a Site Director.

Description: SCP-3853 is an anthropomorphic white goat with blue eyes and black socks. SCP-3853 has two canine-like external appendages and six fangs protruding from its lower jaw, and will only respond to verbal commands. While SCP-3853 is primarily found in a group with ██████████████████, it is not hostile to non-anomalous mammals. SCP-3853 does not eat, and is kept in the Site-94 nursery for no more than four hours a day. This is due to SCP-3853's extreme sensitivity to light, and will often begin to cry if exposed to sufficient amounts of light. SCP-3853 has also proven unable to absorb any nutrients from the food given to it; however, it does receive a vitamin supplement on a daily basis.

While SCP-3853's anomalous properties have yet to be verified, it has proven able to remove the plastic covering of SCP-3853's cage and chew through the cage's metal bars. As of ██/██/20██, SCP-3853 has been contained within SCP-3853-A, a heavily reinforced cat carrier within the Site-94 nursery. When in the presence of a child, SCP-3853 will attempt to approach the child, and will come within a meter of the child, or walk around it. SCP-3853 will attempt to physically restrain the child in such a way as to prevent the child from leaving SCP-3853's containment cell. SCP-3853 will do so by forcefully striking the child's back with its mandibles, as well as scratching the child's face. Once this has been completed, SCP-3853 will abruptly run away from the child, as if it were afraid. SCP-3853 will typically do this within one minute of it being in the presence of a child. In the rare event that a child is brought back in the presence of SCP-3853, SCP-3853 will automatically produce a mild form of amnestics in order to remove the children's fear and trauma. After the amnestics have been administered, the child will become docile and friendly, and will usually remain so for up to ██ hours. If the amnestics take effect too quickly or if the amnestics become ineffective, the child will exhibit aggressive behavior towards SCP-3853.

SCP-3853 will usually attempt to physically restrain the child, and will become hostile in response to the child's aggressiveness.

SCP-3853 will attempt to bite the child, and its dorsal area will become swollen and purple with bruising.

SCP-3853 was first discovered on ██/██/2020, when local officials in ████████, Scotland, sent ███ children to a nearby hospital after ██ were reported to have "fallen off the side of a bridge into a river", along with several other near-fatal injuries. Medical staff in the ████████ hospital noted a cluster of similar injuries on the hands and wrists of all the children, with the injuries varying in color from purple to black. All of the children were found to have scratches and bruises on their hands, suggesting that their injuries had been caused by SCP-3853.

At the time of discovery, SCP-3853 was residing in an orphanage in ████████, Scotland. It was identified as an anomaly after a nearby resident of ████████, █████ ████████████, was found to have been bitten in the leg by SCP-3853. ████████ said that he and ████████████ had both heard the small animal crying at the bottom of a small concrete bridge, and had both subsequently attempted to come to its aid, with ████████████ being the first to approach SCP-3853. ████████████ was admitted to ████████ hospital with a deep bruise on his leg, as well as several scratches on his hand. ████████ has not yet recovered from the injury, and remains in a comatose state.
