SCP-1788-1 male instances.

“	You're stunted. Incomplete. You're like the amphibian that grows up to breathe water instead of air. The eggs I watched, they must hatch into us. They need to be finished. We don't need companionship. We don't live like you, in herds. Each one of us knows what we need to do. And each of us is capable of it. Grow up. Or die.	„

Powers and Techniques

Biological Manipulation (SCP-1788 is a process, treatment, or other means of biological transformation. A prepubescent human being subjected to SCP-1788 becomes an instance of SCP-1788-1. SCP-1788-1 are normally of above-average intelligence. SCP-1788's biological transformation gives significant change to a SCP-1788-1 instances anatomy, where they are far more durable, stronger, and faster than the human baseline, possess backup organs and systems for most of their bodies' vital processes, possess a secondary brain, and have a second pair of arms), Empathic Manipulation (Every instance of SCP-1788-1 to date has shown signs of malignant narcissism and psychopathy, they generally have a complete lack of empathy while also showing keen psychological insight)

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Social Influencing (Only affective against other SCP-1788-1 instances.

Their behavior is similar to that of apex predators), Additional Limbs (SCP-1788-1 instances have a second pair of arms, located directly below the main pair, these have equal strength and dexterity to the upper pair, and SCP-1788-1 instances are capable of using all four arms simultaneously), Enhanced Senses (Even after having their main brain destroyed by several shots from a high-caliber rifle, the instance still displayed full mobility and partial lethality, disabling two agents and one fatally at close range, it is unknown how the instance was still able to sense the agents with most of its primary sense organs destroyed).

Resistance to Trauma (SCP-1788-1 instances have shown extremely strong resistance to compulsion, coercion, torture, and other forms of information extraction), Electricity Manipulation (SCP-1788-1-863 made no visible reaction to being electrocuted by a shock collar), Unconventional Resistance to Biological Manipulation (SCP-1788-1 instances possess backup organs and systems for most of their bodies' ital processes, along with other organ systems having two or three redundant backups that can take over in the event of the failure of primary organs, making standard manipulation of the human biology not as effective on them. SCP-1788-1's possess a secondary brain where if the primary brain is destroyed,the secondary brain can still give an instance of full mobility and partial lethality)
