A physically normal capybara with heightened intelligence and tele abilities who only uses them for the purpose of writing or correcting cooking recipes. Ignores all other attempts at communication except to request items that would allow it to write down said recipes. A completely benign creature focused on making things delicious, especially if it has never eaten them itself. Strange fascination with meat.
I'm gonna be honest, author, this idea isn't very fleshed out. With how little there is here, I can't effectively critique it. I would highly recommend expanding on this concept, and taking a look at the SCP Pitfalls Guide. This will help to expand and flesh it out into a workable concept, which then can be worked into a draft.
If I saw this on the mainsite in it's current form, I would ask a few questions. Why is this caybara so interested in meat? Does this food critic rate food on websites? Did the Foundation try and capture it, or did it end up escaping? If I gave this thing poisoned food, would it attack me or just eat it?
These are a few questions you can start off with to help the idea pack more meat (pun unintended). With that, I would also try and get this idea looked at on the IRC for some real time feedback.
And with that, I hope this feedback helps, good luck author!
EDIT: Added a few more things.
Oh, I like those questions! I'll see what I can come up with.
Okay, so keeping the aforementioned description, some more ideas to go with it.
- The capybara in question is a zoo resident. Its anomalous abilities were first spotted by keeper [ ], who reported the Subject verbally critiqued the lunch she was eating beside the enclosure and offered tips on improvement.
- The Subject came to the Foundation's attention via the gossiping of zookeepers and visitors. When Agent [ ] inquired to the abilities of the Subject, the Subject produced five recipe cards for each food item the Agent specified.
- The Subject can only manipulate writing utensils and a trackpad; a computer keyboard is out of its capability. Therefore the Subject cannot post its corrections to food blog recipes itself and frequently asks a keeper to do so for them.
- The Subject was removed from its enclosure for further testing with no apparent issue other than pacing its testing space. The keepers were given amnestics to prevent further gossip.
- As specified above, the Subject takes requests, except in the matter of making a recipe more dangerous. As in, it will comply to "Give me a dessert with mangoes," or "Give me a gluten-free of this," but not to "Make this with cyanide" or "This is for someone with a peanut allergy. Include peanuts."
- All of the subject's suggestions are benign and many have been tested by giving them to local cooks.
- For this reason, it reacts with apparent disdain to attempts to create one of its recipes with a toxic substance. When presented with a dessert it had designed that had been laced with antifreeze, it sniffed the dish, then walked around it and kicked the researcher in the shin.
- When presented with 241, the cookbook that specifically attempts to cause allergic reactions in readers, it saw only a blank book, which could either be because it has no food allergies to speak of, because it isn't human, or because their abilities cancelled each other.
- The subject seems more fascinated with the "concept" of meats and meat dishes than with consuming them. When presented with several samples of both raw and cooked meat, it sniffed each one without tasting any, then produced ten recipe cards for each type of meat.
- After its rounds of testing, the Subject was given permission to return to its zoo enclosure under new keepers provided by the Foundation and rules that it was only to enact its abilities while in the internal closure where zoo visitors would not be able to see and where it could be monitored by Foundation cameras. To this end, its requests for a laptop bookmarked to several food blog hubs and a steady supply of writing utensils, notebooks, and recipe cards were granted.
- The Subject has produced three cubs during its time in its home zoo. None have been reported to have any anomalous abilities whatsoever.
