SCP-111

SCP-111: "Dragon Snails"

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:

SCP-111 specimens are to be housed in a climate-controlled terrarium with a secure lid. The enclosure must be equipped with heat lamps and maintained at a temperature between 22-28°C (72-82°F). Feeding should consist of starch-rich vegetables, with iceberg lettuce provided for hydration5. Any eggs produced are to be immediately collected and frozen.

Description:

SCP-111 is an artificial species of invertebrate resembling snails, created by Dr. Wondertainment5. Adult specimens measure approximately 20 cm in length, 12 cm in width, and 15 cm in height1. Unlike ordinary snails, SCP-111 exhibits several anomalous characteristics:

Warm-blooded metabolism

Complex eyes

Small "horns" composed of cartilage-ridged tentacles

Vertebrate-type jaw structure

Enhanced intelligence

The most notable feature of SCP-111 is its ability to exhale small jets of flame13. This is achieved through specialized methane sacs located below their lower jaws, which store digestive by-products. A series of [REDACTED] in the trachea acts as an ignition mechanism, allowing the specimen to produce fire when exhaling.

Behavior:

SCP-111's fire-breathing ability is primarily used as a stress response or warning signal rather than for destructive purposes. The limited size of their methane sacs restricts the duration and frequency of flame production. Specimens require time and starch-rich food to replenish their fire-breathing capability.

Origin:

While the exact origin of SCP-111 remains unclear, they are believed to be a product of Dr. Wondertainment, likely intended as an exotic pet or novelty item.

Addendum:

Research into SCP-111's enhanced intelligence and potential applications is ongoing. Personnel are advised to review Test Log ██████ for examples of their cognitive abilities.
