Item #: SCP-2681
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-2681 is to be contained in a standard humanoid containment cell in Site ██. SCP-2681 may only be removed from its cell by level 2 personnel or higher. Subject's basic needs are to be maintained at all times to prevent the compulsion of SCP-2681-1 instances. Any instances of SCP-2681-1 that attempt to enter the facility are to be sedated immediately and brought into the facility for study. Every 48 hours, SCP-2681 must undergo personal therapy lasting anywhere between 1-3 hours.
SCP-2681's cell should be monitored at all times via security camera. Should the subject show signs of emotional instability, an approved psychologist is to be alerted immediately. If a psychologist is not available, SCP-2681 is to be sedated.
Description: SCP-2681 is a 30 year old human male of Nepali origin whose emotional state, thoughts, and needs compel the behavior of nonhuman animals (thereafter referred to as instances of SCP-2681-1) within a 1.7 kilometer radius. This results in compelled animals attempting to meet the desires and needs of SCP-2681. Prior to its containment, SCP-2681 had reported animals giving it carcasses when hungry, grooming or cleaning it when feeling dirty, and even attacking and killing sources of its anger, fear, and discomfort (See Testing Log). SCP-2681 does not seem capable of compelling insects, arachnids, or microorganisms. Tests to see if SCP-2681 is capable of compelling sea animals are currently pending.
SCP-2681 is generally anxious and agitated to those that communicate with it and prefers to be alone with very little to no contact. The subject is adept at speaking English, Nepali, Hindi, and Tharu.
SCP-2681 suffers from depression, intermittent explosive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and has been assessed to having a moderate risk for suicide.
SCP-2681 spends most of its free time practicing mental exercises that were recommended by approved therapists in order to control its emotional state.
SCP-2681 cannot seem to control its compulsion, and animals acting on a prior compulsion do not respond to changes in subject's physical and mental state that would render the animal's compulsion undesirable. Consequences have ranged from minor nuisances to fatalities. Despite acting on the subject's desires, thoughts, and needs, instances of SCP-2681-1 have not been recorded to comply with SCP-2681's suicidal or self-harming desires.
Addendum A-1: SCP-2681 agreed to be interviewed after being convinced to do so by approved therapists.

Foreword: A Foundation guard was placed inside the interview room wielding a tranquilizer gun in case SCP-2681's emotional state became a threat.

Testing Log

Close log

Foreword: Due to the high possibility of SCP-2681 compelling animals en masse, testing with SCP-2681 should take place inside the facility at all times. Testing will take place in a large bulletproof glass enclosure. All personnel are required to leave the room until the test is concluded.

Need: Hunger.
Procedure: Food was withheld from subject for two days.
Test Number: 01
Animals used: A common rat (Rattus norvegicus) and a common mouse (Mus musculus).
Results: The rat killed the mouse and placed its corpse next to SCP-2681.
Notes: The mouse was unresponsive throughout the test and did not resist the rat's attacks. Very odd.

Need: Hunger.
Procedure: Food was withheld from subject for two days.
Test Number: 02
Animals used: A Male Hare (Lepus europaeus) and a Male Duck (Anas platyrhynchos).
Results: Both animals attacked each other with great force despite the lack of predatory weapons. After fifteen (15) minutes, the hare killed the duck and placed its corpse next to SCP-2681.
Notes: Both animals in this test were herbivores, yet they fought one another in an attempt to feed the loser to SCP-2681.

Need: Hunger.
Procedure: Food was withheld from subject for two days.
Test Number: 03
Animal used: A Male Coyote (Canis latrans)
Results: SCP-2681-1 proceeded to gnaw off its own left hind leg and present it to SCP-2681.

Need: Safety.
Procedure: SCP-2681 is to be shot with rubber bullets every ten (10 seconds) in total of ten (10) times through small entry holes through the enclosure.
Test Number: 01
Animal used: A Male Green Anaconda (Eunectes).
Results: SCP-2681-1 quickly wrapped itself around SCP-2681 before the shots were fired, using itself as 'armor' to protect SCP-2681's torso, legs, and face. SCP-2681-1 was later sedated to prevent a possible attack on personnel.

Emotion: Anger.
Procedure: Class D Personnel are to enter the enclosure and antagonize SCP-2681.
Test Number: 01
Animal used: A Male Gray Wolf (Canis lupus).
Results: D-50134 shouted abusive comments towards SCP-2681 for fifteen (15) seconds, but abruptly stopped after SCP-2681-1 snarled and showed its teeth. D-50134 was instructed to keep antagonizing SCP-2681 or face termination. D-50134 reluctantly continued shouting abusive comments towards SCP-2681 for six (6) seconds until attacked by SCP-2681-1. The struggle continued for three (3) minutes until D-50134 died from a crushed trachea and rapid blood loss. SCP-2681-1 was later sedated to prevent a possible attack on personnel.
