Object Class: Euclid

Item #: SCP-112

Special Containment Procedures: 
SCP-112 is permitted to walk around the majority of Facility 1, barring any containment rooms other than its own, offices, or otherwise restricted-access areas. SCP-112's containment room is to be outfitted with furniture typical of a bedroom. Most of such furniture is custom-made to accommodate SCP-112's anatomy, and if broken, require the Foundation to contract civilian craftsponies to make replacements. These items include: One (1) 75" long, 36" wide bed frame, one (1) bed mattress of the same dimensions, and proportionally scaled in height, two (2) wooden chairs, one (1) large wooden desk suitable for SCP-112's sitting height, which accommodates the aforementioned chairs, two (2) shelving units - 36" by 42" by 48", and one (1) trashbin of normal dimensions. The door to SCP-112's containment room should usually remain unlocked, but is fitted with a deadbolt on the exterior. The door itself is made of 2" thick steel, to ensure that SCP-112 cannot escape in the eventuality that its door must be locked. 

Description: SCP-112 is a sapient extradimensional entity that understands and speaks fluent Equestrian. It is biologically similar in most ways to terrestrial mammals, and it shares most of the same organs as other omnivores, although there are differences; among other things, it has a gland which can release adrenaline into its bloodstream, and its stomach contains especially potent stomach acid. It is bipedal, and when standing upright measures seventy-three (73) inches in height. It is approximately one-hundred and sixty (160) pounds. Phyiscally, SCP-112 shares many characteristics with primates, and has said itself that it is 'related' to them. It has brown hair on top of its head, similar to a mane, as well as a relatively sparse amount of hair underneath the pit of its arms and on its chest. It has two (2) small forward-facing blue-colored eyes that dilate or expand in the presence of differing amounts of light. Notably, adjusting for light is their main function - its pupils do not typically expand or dilate along with its emotions, unless such an emotion is both extreme and surprising. Despite smiling, frowning, and other facial gestures carrying the same connotation, the lack of SCP-112's pupil expression makes its mood hard to determine, and it is known to be able to hide its actual mood (See Addendums). It has proportional physical strength for its size, although since it is approximately three times larger than the average pony, such strength is comparatively large, and therefore must be considered dangerous. It has two (2) arms attatched to its upper torso, similar to minotaurs, that swing when it walks to help it keep balance - this behavior is also observed when gorillas walk upright. Attached to its arms are hands with five (5) fingers, each of which are fragile but have extreme tactile ability - although its hand is made up of twenty-seven (27) small bones, each easy fractured, SCP-112 is able to feel an individual grain of sand and move its fingers about in a wide range of motion. The tendons which enable movement within its hands are intricate, and as a result, some fingers are forced to unconsciously move when one is consciously moved. Despite these limitations, the range of motion and tactile ability of its hands are impressive, and demonstrably more useful than a minotaur hand in all aspects other than sheer gripping power. For further or more exact anatomical information, contact Dr. Shine or SCP-112 itself.

We are lead to believe that SCP-112 comes from an alternate version of our dimension, with the main differences being A. a lack of magic, and B. that the sapients came from the Hominidae family rather than Equidae. However, SCP-112's race either killed off or inadvertently rendered extinct the other sapient species'; SCP-112 claims that its race is the only sapient one on its planet, and that it knows of at least one seperate sapient race (Homo Erectus) that died off. Although we can only speculate, due to interviews with SCP-112 and observed behavior, we assume that his world is vastly more hostile than ours. Whether such is a separate dimensional difference or due to the lack of magic is unknown. The means of which SCP-112 came to our dimension is mostly unknown, as it does not like to speak about it, but SCP-112 has said that it was 'very rapid' and that 'it didn't feel a thing'.

Although SCP-112 is indeed a unique entity physically, it has numerous curious and/or odd behaviors that are perhaps more notable. Foremost, it seems to hold ponies within a high regard, going so far as to use violent force to protect any given one. (See the Test Logs attached below). It also seems to compulsively - almost instinctively - seek to cheer up unhappy individuals. Reportedly (and supported by its actions), it immensely enjoys the texture and 'silkiness' of pony hair: fur, mane, and tail. As such, it enjoys grooming ponies with its hands, something which may stem from the grooming actions of primates, wherein tribe members build bonds whilst also cleaning their compatriots of ticks and detritus. SCP-112 is permitted to touch, groom, and pet any staff member or test subject that allows it - it usually will not forcibly groom a pony, with the main exception being if said pony is particularly unhappy. These grooming actions are reportedly 'very comfortable' and 'soothing' (See Addendums for interviews of ponies subject to grooming sessions). It is not believed that any magic or psychic effect of any kind is used to acheive these postive sensations.

ADDENDUMS:
1. Incidents
INCIDENT #1 - 7/18 1003LB - Two days after its capture. Via crystal ball, SCP-112 is seen pacing around its then-unfurnished containment room, apparently angry. SCP-112 swears multiple times, startling observing researchers. Researchers decide to send in a test subject. D-100821, a female pegasus convicted of purposefully startling foals, is taken out of her cell. The deadbolt on SCP-112's containment is unlatched, and D-100821 is told to walk in and 'ask it what is wrong'. D-100821 refuses, citing immense fear. An accompanying guardspony threatens D-100821 with less green beans in her rations if she refuses to comply. Sobbing, D-100821 enters SCP-112's containment room. Upon seeing D-100821 in its room, SCP-112 immediately stops in place and looks at her. D-100821 spots SCP-112 and backs herself into a corner, continuing to cry. SCP-112 approaches D-100821. D-100821 shrieks in fear. SCP-112 extends a hand towards D-100821 and speaks with a masculine voice, although in a soft tone, asking her if she is alright.
D-100821 is unable to respond, and appears to be frozen in place. SCP-112 puts a hand on D-100821's mane and begins to scratch it. D-100821 gradually stops crying, and asks SCP-112 whether or not it intends to eat her. SCP-112 laughs, and remarks that she is too cute to eat. 
Two minutes and fifteen seconds pass. SCP-112 continues to scratch D-100821's mane. The two converse; SCP-112 shows extreme knowledgeability in regards to empathy and emotions whilst calming down the test subject. SCP-112 asks why she was crying, using the subject's name pre-Foundation-designation. 
D-100821 informs SCP-112 of her nature as a test subject. She relays what the guardspony threatened before she entered the containment room. SCP-112 has a slight frown, but does not seem overly angered. It asks whether or not it is true that she was forced into its containment cell. 
D-100821 confirms this statement. SCP-112 stands up and walks towards the door of its containment room, which has remained unlocked. SCP-112 opens the door. The two guardsponies who led D-100821 immediately try to run away, one attempting to inform other staff of a containment breach via yelling. SCP-112 grabs one hindleg of each, and drags them into its containment room. Observing researchers immediately inform [REDACTED] of the situation, and every unoccupied guardspony in Facility 1 is sent en-route. SCP-112 roughly shoves the guardsponies into one corner of his room, and pins them down. SCP-112 beings yelling. 
>"GOD[REDACTED] LITTLE [REDACTED], I [REDACTED] THIS PLACE AND YOU [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. BUT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH, EH? YOU GOTTA HAVE [REDACTED] TEST SUBJECTS! ORCHID OVER HERE DIDN'T DO [REDACTED] YOU [REDACTED] [REDACTED]. IF YOU WEREN'T PONIES I'D [REDACTED] YOU. JUST..."
One guardspony has fainted and urinated on himself, while the other is trembling while he cries in fear. They later turn out to require months of intensive PTSD therapy. Observing researchers are shocked, and one requests reeassignment on the spot. The situation is diffused when the majority of Facility 1's guardponies arrive, and D-100821 surrenders herself into Foundation custody. This incident was the first time SCP-112's anomalous behavior - rapid emotional shift with no outward signs - was seen. This incident prompted SCP-112's object class to be raised to Euclid. 

INCIDENT #2 - 8/1 1003LB - SCP-112 is sitting in the D-class mess hall, conversing with a small group of test subjects. It habitually pets the mane of a mare sitting next to it; D-100736. D-200105 - a large stallion convicted of felony bullying - approaches D-100736. D-200105 begins making fun of D-100736's manestyle. D-100736 buries her face into SCP-112's side. SCP-112's expression has become noticably and blatantly hostile; this is a display of SCP-112 showing a warning sign, unlike the previous incident. D-200105 insults D-100736 again, then turns to walk away. SCP-112 grabs his tail and yanks on it hard enough to cause D-200105 to yelp.  D-200105 twists around to face SCP-112. SCP-112 moves its face against the muzzle of D-200105, staring at him and wordlessly challenging him to a staring contest. After a minute, D-200105's eyes begin to water, and he blinks. After he realizes what he has done, he bursts into tears and runs away. 
SCP-112 was not reprimanded for his actions. 

2. Interviews

1: Transcript of an interview with Dr. Shine, the senior researcher in charge of SCP-112-related research. 8/13 1003LB.
Dr. Shine (LS) sits in his office. [REDACTED], Dr. Shine's superior (PC), sits across from him. 

(PC) "Hello Doctor Shine, how're you doing today?"  
(LS) "Quite well, thank you. But you're here to talk about SCP-112, are you not?"
(PC) [Chuckles] "I am, but there is time for pleasantries."
(LS) "I mean no offense [REDACTED], but I'd prefer if we could get this interview out of the way."
(PC) "Alright." [Paper shuffling as [REDACTED] sorts through her binder] "Here we are. First of all, tell me about SCP-112's personality."
(LS) "SCP-112 is very amenable. He enjoys being around ponies, and he is relatively hard to provoke. He is keen on answering questions regarding his dimension, with the sole exception being how he actually came to ours."
(PC) "Interesting. So, tell me what you think about Incident Two? 
(LS) "Ah, Incident Two, when a felon began bullying one of SCP-112's friends. I think his reaction, while hostile, was... acceptable."
(PC) "Hm. And do you believe that we should continue to allow SCP-112 access to roam the unsecured areas of this facility? 
(LS) "Yes, [REDACTED]. He-... sorry, it, provides an immense morale boost amoungst both D-class and staff members. Also, it has emotions of its own; emotions similar to ours. It would be akin to torture to lock him in a containment room." 
(PC) "I see. Why does SCP-112 provide such a morale boost?"
(LS) "Well... to the D-class, he's a comfort. A friendly extradimensional alien that likes to groom and talk with them. To the staff, he's also a friend, but he's also living, breathing proof that our Foundation does good." 
(PC) "Do you think your fellow researchers would say the same thing? 
(LS) "Assuredly." 
(PC) "Alright. While you say SCP-112 is friendly, there always should be contingencies in place, just in case he turns out to be... not so friendly. If, thereotically, SCP-112 became hostile, what would you recommend that the Foundation should do?" 
(LS) [Sighs] "I do admit, we have discussed this. He has an incredible pain tolerace compared to you or I, and so I believe the best course of action would be to alarm you, and have you teleport him into his containment. Failing that, we do have a cache of... this feels horrible to say, but yes, we do have a cache of jalapenos. Jalapeno liquid in a squirt bottle, if squirted... [Long pause] ...Sorry, this makes me a bit nauseous. If some was squirted into its eyes, that would be effective at rendering it incapacitated." 
(PC) "I see. So, tell me about SCP-112's grooming behavior."

2: Transcript of an interview with D-100736 (36), friend of SCP-112. 8/15 1003LB. D-100736 is a female earth pony who was convicted of Excessively Inappropriate Contact, including nuzzling and hugging. She was arrested after hugging the mayor of Ponyville three times in the timespan of thirty seconds. It is speculated that D-100736 became a fast friend of SCP-112 due to his grooming habits and his like of being hugged by ponies. Interviewer is Ms. [REDACTED] Tea (ST), a psychologist, researcher, and owner of the Foundation-supported tea shop... that everyone knows, come on. Who hasn't been to [REDACTED]? (ADDENDUM, 9/1: Dr. Shine, please try to remain professional when creating these sorts of documents.)

(ST) "Good morning, 736."
(36) "Mornin'"
(ST) "All I'm going to do is ask you a few questions about SCP-112. Are you alright with that?"
(36) [Snort] "Yeah, as long as you ain't, y'know, trying to find his weaknesses or somethin'. He's a good pony." 
(ST) [Smiles] "Nothing of the sort. The focus of this interview is SCP-112's grooming behavior."
(36) "...Okay?"
(ST) "How would you describe the feel of being groomed or pet by SCP-112?"
(36) "Uhh... good? It's nice, like... comforting. Soothing. Them fingers of his are like a real nice brush, and you suckers don't even let us have a comb."
(ST) "Please refrain from cursing, 36. How often does SCP-112 groom you?"
(36) [D-100736 chuckles] "A lot. It's kinda endearing. He seems to really wanna pet ponies, but between you and me, I think he 'specially likes my mane."
(ST) "Do you feel odd, uneasy, or any particularly unusual emotions when SCP-122 grooms you?"
(36) "Besides how nice it feels? Uhh... I don't think so? He ain't trying ta brainwash me like SCP-020 did, if that's whatcha' gettin' at." 
(ST) "Hm. I don't mean anything untoward by this, but does being groomed by SCP-112 make you feel... any arousal?"
(36) "Arousal? What? Oh, eww. He's just kinda like, iunno, a friendly minotaur. No."
(ST) "Alright. We plan to schedule a testing session wherein your brainwaves will be measured whilst he grooms you, just to absolutely rule out any subversive effects. Would you object to that?"
(36) "I can tell that even if I said 'yes' you'd make me do it anyways. So, fine. Whatever."
