Special Containment Procedures: All personnel stationed at Site-56 are to be made aware that Dr. Amelia-Mae Webber is a frog. Dr. Webber should be permitted to continue working as a researcher, given that its health remains stable.
Description: SCP-6441, known as Dr. Webber, is a sapient, unidentified member of the order Anura possessing a memetic effect that causes those who view it to believe that it is human. Prior to the discovery of its anomalous effects, SCP-6441 was seemingly unaware of its non-human characteristics.
Upon discovery of its anomalous effects, subjects will become aware of many non-human characteristics of SCP-6441; however, its body will still appear human.
Addendum 6441-01: Discovery

Note: The following log is a transcript of a multi-department meeting at Site-56. Dr. Juno Payne is known to have an unusually high level of memetic resistance.

Dr. Payne: Sorry, got caught up in…
[A pause as Juno moves to take a seat.]
Dr. Payne: The fuck?
Dr. Stevens: What is it this time?
[Dr. Payne points towards SCP-6441.]

[Dr. Payne shrugs.]
Dr. Payne: Not much, really. Walked in late, saw a frog in the chair next to me.

Interview 6441-02:

Interviewed: Dr. Aaron Frye
Interviewer: Dr. John Meyers
[BEGIN LOG, 09:30 04/21/2022]
Dr. Frye: I'm guessing this is about yesterday?
Dr. Meyers: Yes. You know Dr. Webber somewhat well, correct?
Dr. Frye: Uh, yeah, other than the whole… frog thing.
Dr. Meyers: Had you noticed any unusual characteristics before yesterday?
Dr. Frye: Kind of? I saw her eating bugs once, but I didn't think anything of it.
Dr. Meyers: Is that all?
Dr. Frye: Mm-mm. Sometimes, things she touches are slimy.
[A pause.]
Dr. Frye: Oh, and she always… sticks her hands in water? Like, she just sticks her hand in the glass. I've never seen her drinking it. Which, yeah, seems weird in hindsight.
Dr. Meyers: And none of these things seemed strange?
[Dr. Frye shrugs.]
Dr. Frye: Uh… not really. I just didn't really think about them.
Dr. Meyers: I see. Thank you for your time.
