SCP-5210

	"Mature Content"
	This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.

Background

SCP-5210 is an anomalous entity resembling a male golden labrador approximately 2 months old. SCP-5210 does not appear to physically age. SCP-5210 may be immune to traditional physical harm, although this has not been confirmed as testing this trait is not advised (see addendum 5210-2).

SCP-5210's primary anomalous trait is a cognitohazard that activates when anyone views it. Those who directly view it will feel an overwhelming urge to pet the anomaly, play with it, call it "a good boy", and perform various other archetypal tasks traditionally associated with interacting with a puppy. Those affected by SCP-5210 will not cease these activities until they are unable to continue looking at SCP-5210. Natural blinking will create a vague sense of unease, but will not be enough to free an individual from the cognitohazard (see addendum 5210-2). Those who have survived interaction with SCP-5210 describe having at the time believed it was their greatest life experience and that no other experience could ever be greater.

Powers and Techniques

Enhanced Senses (Canines have around 100,000 times more powerful sense of smell then humans. Canines have a keen sense of hearing, being able to hear sounds four times away than the human ear can dicern. Canines have a wider angle of view than humans do, however, their field of vision from each eye does not overlap as much as a human, thus less of what they see is in focus), Immortality (Ageless; SCP-5210 does not appear to physically age), Mind Manipulation (Cognitohazards can overrule all logic and emotion. SCP-5210's primary anomalous trait is a cognitohazard that activates when anyone views him, those who view him will feel an overwhelming urge to pet SCP-5210, play with him, call him "a good boy" and perform other tasks normally associated with playing with a puppy. They will not cease these activities until they are unable to continue looking at SCP-5210, with blinking not being enough to free the individual. Individuals interacting with SCP-5210 describe it as having the greatest life experience and no other experience could ever be greater. SCP-5210's ability activates even if one is viewing him through video, live-footage, or photographs, they will also become aware of SCP-5210's location to go play with them.
