Item #: SCP-999 Alias: The Tickle Monster Object Class: Safe Appearance: A large, amorphous, gelatinous mass of translucent orange slime. Weight: Approximately 54kg. It has large, round, pitch-black eyes and a mouth shaped like a cat's—it's adorable. Among SCP objects, it is explicitly stated to be "Safe" and, above all, "friendly to humans," alongside SCP-131. Its entire body is composed of an unknown substance similar to peanut butter, and it does not appear to have any biological organs such as vocal cords. However, it emits high-pitched gurgling and cooing noises similar to a small animal. Temperament: Playful and puppy-like, it will generally frolic with anyone nearby. Upon finding a human, it will approach, leap onto them, and cling tight. It loves to hug people with two pseudopod-like arms while using a third arm to gently pat their face and head. Furthermore, it emits a pleasant fragrance that varies depending on the person it is hugging. Once it envelops a person from the neck down, it utilizes its slime-like body to its full potential to begin tickling them all over. Its nickname comes from this signature "tickle-wrestling," which it continues until the person is laughing hysterically and shouting "Stop!" Though, it usually doesn't stop right away. It's easy to understand if you imagine a small child, like a kindergartner, getting so caught up in a tickle fight that they can't stop. While just touching it feels pleasantly squishy, this tickle-wrestling has an incredible effect. It induces a profound sense of euphoria and happiness, which persists for a while even after contact has ended. In one experiment, a patient suffering from severe depression was exposed to SCP-999; the patient made a full recovery and developed a positive outlook on life. Diet: It eats candy and sweets, with its favorites being M&M's™ and Necco™ wafers. So cute. However, when it once consumed a cola, it spent half an hour bouncing off the walls before losing its energy and refusing to eat. Fortunately, it recovered, but the staff member who provided the cola was reprimanded. As such, it is an extremely friendly and lovable entity, providing immense healing to Foundation staff who deal with paranormal threats and face life-threatening danger day and night. Additionally, SCP-999 occasionally enters a fully grown state. In this form, it is very large and humanoid but made entirely of slime with no face. Its legs are amorphous, its arms are long, and its fingers are elongated. It is incredibly strong and protects humans. It eventually returns to its original form, so there is no need to worry.
