SCP Foundation

My idea is of a statue of a shark that when it comes into contact with blood it enters a feeding frenzy state that lasts for 10 minutes. When it enters the state, the statue will attack any organism that comes into a certain radius of it. If the organism gets away, the statue will pursue it until either the organism is dead or it's been 10 minutes since the start of the feeding frenzy state. If the statue is able to catch the organism, then the statue will kill it and the 10 minute countdown will start again. This cycle will continue until the statue is eventually unable to catch its prey within a 10 minute time span.

Idea is based on the photo below:

For the record, "rage state" is such an overused (and overly casual) phrase that readers have come to treat it as a running gag rather than a serious horror element. I personally recommend not using that terminology to describe a concept if you want people to take it seriously.

When it enters the state, the statue will attack any organism that comes into a certain radius of it.

Okay, but why? Seems a little derivative of a lot of existing horror tropes, even down to Disney examples like Bruce the Shark from Finding Nemo.

If the organism gets away, the statue will pursue it until either the organism is dead or it's been 10 minutes since the start of the feeding frenzy state.

So kind of a lowkey SCP-096?

This cycle will continue until the statue is eventually unable to catch its prey within a 10 minute time span.

So containment can just be coating the entire thing in some sort of airtight resin and that's it?

I don't know about this. It seems like a pretty generic magic object premise that we've seen a lot before, and it needs some sort of context to make it more interesting. Maybe take a look at this page for some ideas on how to further develop this.

Also, with regards to the photo, do you have permission rights to use it on a creative commons licensed site?
