SCP Foundation/SCPs/SCP-RS-039-EX

Item #: SCP-RS-039-EX

Object Class: Explained

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-RS-039-EX is kept in an outdoor enclosure at Site-██. It is to be fed 1.5 kg of food on a daily basis; kitchen scraps from the Site-██ cafeteria may be used for this purpose. Personnel wishing to physically interact with SCP-RS-039 should gloves.

Description: SCP-RS-039-EX is a male Middle White pig of indeterminate age. An ear tag indicates a name of "Jambon" but does not identify the owner.

The animal is unusual in that it possesses two (2) electric organs, each of which is composed of several thousand electrocytes. The cells are lined in such a way that ions flowing through them will create an electric potential, not unlike in an electric eel.

If irritated, SCP-RS-039-EX sends a signal to its electrocytes through the nervous system. This opens the ion channels to allow sodium to flow through. The resulting reversal of polarity creates a difference in electric potential. This allows SCP-RS-039-EX to deliver an electric shock up to 1,250 V and 800 mA of current. Such a shock is unlikely to be lethal to an adult human but is capable of briefly stunning the victim.

SCP-RS-039-EX was discovered after several civilians in Lumbridge reported getting an electric shock from petting a pig. Although its origin is not clear, Foundation biologists have determined that SCP-RS-039-EX was created via publicly known genetic engineering techniques. SCP-RS-039-EX has therefore been reclassified to Explained.

Addendum: SCP-RS-039-EX appears to be cannibalistic, having shown a preference for cooked bacon.

Whose idea was it to feed him bacon? -- Dr. ██████
