SCP-5457 The Republic of Under-Frogia

Dr Bob brings you SCP Foundation EUCLID Class object, SCP-5457 The Republic of Under-Frogia Animation.
Join the DR BOB SQUAD by going to / drbob and become an Honorary Member of the Dr. Bob Research Staff!
SCP-5457 refers to a population of approximately 23,000 sapient anthropomorphic beings living in a vast system of partially flooded underground caves and tunnels, located under and around lake Grenouilleau in France.
SCP 5457 instances bear resemblance to amphibians of the anura order. Instances are on average 1.50m tall, bipedal, have varying body shapes, and display different skin colours and patterns.
SCP5457 instances are capable of secreting a toxic mucus, the quantity and potency of which is influenced by an instance's health.
SCP-5457 are terrified of French people, who they believe would hunt and eat them if they were discovered.

I never realized that frogs have a natural fear and distrust of the French. If that’s the case, they all should have had British accents.

[@kevincass9917]

This was such a great story! Poor Michelle and Sgt. Duvall. I understand the need to keep them under cover so they don't potentially get hurt by humans, but I feel like there might've been an easier way to make this work. Maybe by cordoning off the lake under the guise of a government environmental task force sent to study the effects of climate change or whatever, they could have a large perimeter where the denizens of Under-Frogia could enjoy the lake and the surface without needing to feel fear or trapped.

[@TheColdbloodassassin]

They essentially did that, but humans aren't actually stupid and will begin to question the real motives. Also, just like humans, the frogs will have to expand their territory eventually. Inevitably, either humans discover them first, or they attempt to encroach on human territory (which will end in the frogs' eradication).

[@mojaeche8046]

my idea was maybe move em all to a unihabitied island. so they could atleast live out doors. they could make it a military base so that visitors would be kept away and them protected

[@leinadlink]

In my eyes they could probably be revealed to the world, and let them live among us as equals. But with the huge quantities of racism and stereotypes still present this day, I doubt humanity would so willingly accept a new species like that.

[@MTdaBlacking]

The fact that the frog-folk live under a lake literally named Frog Water is pretty funny, the fact that containment requires fostering French stereotypes is hilarious!

We probably eat more frogs here in the Southern US than in the entirety of France. They taste a little fishy, have a chicken-like texture, and are just amazing. They are one of the first things to run out at any fish fry. Still, I wouldn't dream of eating any sentient frog-like humanoid. Unless they disobeyed orders, of course

[@ashurad_fox5991]

You know, if I where an agent for the foundation and assigned to this scp... I would tell them the horrors of what the foundation has to face. (not some really classified stuff, just an average euclid or keter anomalies) And say to them... Humans are also under great fear and is in a corner... Humans would like to go back to be like under-frogians, ignorant to the horrors of their reality... Safe to say they will likely go back their if they hear those stories willingly.

The more logical approach for this would have been to expand their containment to cover the lake and the surrounding land and covering up the change via saying it's due to the water becoming strongly acidic posing a massive threat to civilians.

This is one of the scp where I really wish there was a continuation set in the Brocken Masquarade timeline.

[@leoguezellou8827]

While not in Broken Masquerade, their future gets expanded upon in the No Return canon's Vanguard timeline where the anomalous becomes public as well. They are allowed to build a city above ground and their territory becomes an official French department with special administrative rights, while the Vanguard organisation mediates between them and the French population to undo all the lying the Foundation did.

@@kiernanhowell-mackinley1733 It’s the SCP Foundation though. They’re not exactly known for being accommodating towards the anomalies that they come across. Further more, one can argue moving the acid spitting, French-fearing frogs is a bad idea due to the possibility of them escaping during the transfer or just causing a riot and getting out due to being sick of being under the foundation’s thumb

[@sarojolibois6088]

As a french, this scp is hilarious. I had a couple of frog legs in my life, it's kinda like chicken, quite fat as it's usually fried or cooked with butter and garlic. But it's definitely not a common dish.

[@opeeate]

yeah I've tried them as well. you're spot on. I thought it tasted like chicken that's been prechewed and had most of they taste removed. it isn't anything to get excited about apart from what a waste of a poor critters life.

[@leoguezellou8827]

Oh wow, thanks for covering my first ever SCP article! The inspiration behind this was that I wanted to make fun of a French stereotype that I find exaggerated, being French myself. Intitially, the article only contained the account of Martin's capture and then a long and boring overview of SCP-5457's culture and society. Someone pointed out there wasn't much of a story, so I decided to rework it. I thought "well, if they are so scared of being eaten, then I guess I need to follow up on that. But why would someone eat one of them? Memetic compulsion? No, that's boring, it has to be a conscious choice." And that's how Duvarier ended up being a Foundation agent that is willing to go to great lengths for her duty.

[@electricofff]

Nice work there bud!

[@jonasholm-mw5bn]

If you want to continue on the story you could check out the Danish children’s book Freddy frogface. It’s about a bully who swallows a frog alive. There’s also an animated movie about it

[@daviddavidson2357]

Great story. However. The foundation once again handled it wrong. They could have staged some sort of incident (dangerous cargo spillage for example) that supposedly renders an area uninhabitable somewhere in the middle of a huge forest and allowed them to move there if they wished. Though the foundation always handles things poorly, which makes it a good story.

[@PokeBattlerJaze]

This is such an interesting SCP because for once, I actually agree with both sides. We humans barely get along as is, we hate and kill each other over the stupidest fucking reasons, race, religion, gender, nationality, etc, so there would 100% be a bunch of crazy people who would hunt these guys to extinction simply for the sake of “just because”. And yet, the SCP wasn’t wrong either, it is only natural for a species to want to expand, and grow and become better, that’s utterly natural so not wanting to be confined to just a bunch of caves is reasonable. I think this could have been handled better sure, but like, interesting to see an SCP where you can’t definitely say which side is truly in the right here.

[@shatteredspirit6065]

This reminds me of an episode of A Centaur's Life. A young amphibian-folk child was found near death only to be adopted and raised by a french mammal being (though I forgot what folk person he is) and became a politician who also goes back to his native homeland as an ambassador (I'm assuming) and sees that some of his tribesmen are wearing military gear. Believeing they could overthrow the mammalian folks and their gods. I have not read the manga so no spoilers!

It’s secure contain protect. Not safety comfort pleasure. SCP Foundation mentality is; our best interest the public should never have a chance of learning of anomalies if we can prevent it by any means. They really only give extra luxuries to scps to further research (if the foundation deem it necessary) which in this case the foundation got what it wanted and the anomaly is contained which is all that matters at the end of the day
