Any individuals performing testing or physical inspection of SCP-4974 must wear full-body protective gear in order to prevent severe electrocution.
Description: SCP-4974 is an anomalous organism aesthetically identical to the character of Pikachu from the Pokémon media franchise. Despite appearing to be a rodent organism upon exterior examination, interior examination shows that SCP-4974's body contains no bones, muscles or blood, instead being composed entirely of a bright yellow substance similar in consistency and texture to a sea sponge.
While in containment, SCP-4974 has been observed to perform the following actions: Cocking its head and saying the word 'Pikachu'.
Jumping in place, saying the word 'Pikachu', and then jumping in place again.
Running in a small circle.
Projecting an electrical field of variable severity in the one-meter area immediately surrounding it.
SCP-4974 has not been observed to move outside of performing these specific actions.
Thus far, observation has shown no specific pattern to when SCP-4974 performs these actions, or in what order, and they do not appear to be responses to any specific stimuli.
Furthermore, SCP-4974 has shown no signs of recognizing or even perceiving events that occur around it. For these reasons, it is currently unclear whether SCP-4974 is sapient or even possesses a consciousness at all.
Discovery: SCP-4974 was recovered from a crime scene in White Falls, New Mexico by members of the local police department. As these officers reported their findings among monitored channels, Foundation agents were quickly dispatched and retrieved SCP-4974 without further incident.
The crime scene in which SCP-4974 was originally found, a suburban residence in the area, contained the following: The corpse of local woodworker Paul Terrance in the living room. Cause of death judged as suicide from gunshot wound to the temple.
Six popped and slightly burnt balloons throughout the house. Inspection showed them to read 'Happy Birthday'.
A copy of modern alchemical text The Progeny of Paracelsus by A.A. Gilford. The book was found in the basement, along with three other materials.
Three hundred and twenty-two copies of the GameBoy game Pokemon Yellow, sixty-one of which had been partially ground into dust using a nearby mortar and pestle.
• • • • • • • • Six Erlenmeyer flasks containing a compound composed of the previously mentioned dust, broken-down sea sponge and human semen1.
Three horse wombs, two of which contained objects resembling malformed and inactive instances of SCP-4974. The third was empty.
The corpse of Paul Terrance's eight-year old son, Adam Terrance, in his bedroom.
Cause of death judged as cardiac arrest following exposure to an electrical current.
Footnotes 1. Analysis shows this material to originate from Paul Terrance.
