SCP-495 Thingmaker - object class safe
Item #: SCP-495
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-495 is to be kept in a locked room, plugged into
a standard, active 120-volt power outlet when not in use.
A life-sized mold of a clam, oyster, or other species of sessile bivalve is to be stored
within SCP-495; the mold is to contain no more than 100 (one hundred) grams of wax.
In the event of a power failure, at least one Level 1 security personnel must enter
the storage room and monitor the item for activity until power is restored.
Researchers wishing to use SCP-495 must submit a written description of the planned experiment
to Dr. ███████. Due to the results of Experiment SCP-495-██, all molds and
materials must be approved by at least one Level 3 or higher personnel before use with
SCP-495.
At least one personnel with experience treating venomous bites and stings must be available
on standby while SCP-495 is in use.
Description: SCP-495 appears to be the oven from a 1992 ToyMax "Creepy Crawlers" playset,
save that the "Creepy Crawlers" logo sticker has been replaced with the logo from a 1964
Mattel "Thingmaker" hot-plate (a toy of virtually identical function to the more recent ToyMax
version, discontinued by Mattel in the 1970's due to insufficient safety features).
While SCP-495 is plugged into a standard 120-volt power outlet, it functions as a normal "Creepy
Crawlers" oven.
When not plugged into a power outlet, SCP-495 displays the following anomalous behavior:
Upon insertion of a filled or partially-filled mold, SCP-495's activation switch moves to
the "ON" position automatically.
The internal heating lamp appears to remain unlit, but the oven begins to gain warmth
from an unknown source, reaching a peak internal temperature of 257.2 degrees Celsius (as measured
by infrared camera).
After approximately eight minutes, SCP-495's activation switch moves to the "OFF" position
automatically.
Contrary to the behavior of a standard ToyMax "Creepy Crawler" oven, SCP-495's door will
open immediately instead of remaining locked while the mold cools.
All molded items will animate upon removal from the oven, behaving as though they were
natural organisms.
Animated objects are physically detailed well beyond what their molds would seem to allow,
appearing physically identical to their natural counterparts save for unusual coloration corresponding
to the materials used to fill their molds.
Dissection of animated objects reveals tissues and other internal structures composed entirely
of whatever material was used to fill the mold.
Any substance and mold used with SCP-495 will produce results - hand-made molds or substances
other than ToyMax or Mattel "Plasti-Goop" (such as chocolate or wax) will result in
animate objects.
Addendum: Just because they're made of plastic doesn't mean they're safe.
Where the venom comes from, I don't know, but Agent ██████ is now in the
infirmary after being bitten by a tiny purple asp.
Please treat the products of SCP-495 as you would any venomous animal.
