Tapeworm Child SCP-1003

Dr Bob brings you SCP Foundation Keter Class object, SCP-1003 - The Tapeworm Child Animation.
Join the DR BOB SQUAD by going to / drbob and become an Honorary Member of the Dr. Bob Research Staff!
SCP 1003 -1 is an adult tapeworm of the species Echinococcus granulosus, known for causing hydatid disease. Like others of its species, SCP1003 -1 inhabits the small intestines of carnivores (typically canids), where it produces eggs that are passed in the host's faeces.
By 8 weeks, it is as mature as a 3-week-old neonate, although it is similar in size to an 8-week-old embryo (approximately 13-16 cm). Once it has reached this stage, it will actively consume the intermediate host from within using sharp, hooked teeth. SCP-1003-2 growth is accelerated to an even greater extent as it is doing this. By the time it has fully consumed the intermediate host , it will have developed into a child.

I love the way the narratives are delivered. Not knowing how the SCP behaves makes the story more engaging, and the explanation at the end all the more satisfying.

[@uxaenarrhythmia1483]

Also glad to see our sheepdog hero make a return!

[@elaineyork1514]

Agreed

[@cyberprime9355]

Indeed. It adds a layer of depth to the victims of these stories and by contrast, understand how the anomaly actually has an effect on them without the naturally cold and clinical documentation of the Foundation

[@whiteshitwteeth]

ong

[@CrazyMatthew-dm5ri]

Yeah

[@merikmalhads1676]

What makes this anomally so insidious is that not even the host children understand what is going on. They're as helpless to stop the effects as the people they inadvertently kill

[@cyberprime9355]

In fact, they never wanted to harm anybody, as least as far as we can tell. It sounds like the parasitic nature of the anomaly may have some sort of Amnestic like 939 or 3000. But also, It reminds us of one thing: Check your Damn Meat, People! Keep in mind, Jorge mentioned the meat being some questionable quantity. Quality in particular also plays a role apparently. I don't think even the Rancher knew just WHAT kind of parasite wandered into the world.

[@virtueofabsolution7641]

Man that really bummed me out. As a child of the Midwest that rancher was the exact picture of many men I’ve known, kindness and “do what must be done even if it’s miserable” and all. They are truly some of the best folks you’ll ever know.

I guess I’m more just impressed than anything. Bob’s storytelling has improved immensely over the last year.

This one's sad. Every character here was someone you didn't want anything bad to happen to, and it was all the more tragic when the truth unfolded. I felt bad even for Jorge, and he never really appeared in the story.

[@makeintoschu]

Should the rancher noticed that something is wrong with his cows and gave them medicine there wouldn't be this horror.

[@cocacola4blood365]

@@makeintoschu He did notice. He didn't realize what the problem was until one coughed up a worm, and he didn't have enough medicine for all of them. Giving out medicine when you're not sure of what the ailment is can be risky, like using intense levels of radiation to cure tumors. And this is an SCP, if any medicines available to the public, or any medicines at all, would've worked, Dr. Bob would've made mention of it.

[@Elly3981]

[@Rhubidium]

This SCP has always stuck in my mind for a few years for two reasons 1) The children being just so.. innocent in all of this. Outside of their anomalous properties. It's such a shame really. 2) The accompanying original image (Now deleted thanks to copyright nonsense). Very over the top but definitely made a lasting impression of a we bab like myself; at the time. Another good one, Dr. Bob. Also holy shit the newborn child was uncanny to start with, but the second it lost it's tapeworm teeth and grew its new set REALLY ramped up the uncanny * _shudder_ *

[@mailcs06]

Baby with adult teeth is creepy as hell.

[@hannahmccausland3990]

And the kid are thinking were they came from all the time there in the SCP.

[@zacharyfrierson6972]

The fact that many SCPs are things or even people you utterly wouldn't expect to be dangerous makes them all the more terrifying. One second you could be looking at the face of a sweet adorable puppy. The next you could be looking at the face of a massive dog-like creature that could rend time and space apart by devouring.

[@ajakks6551]

The funny part about this is that there is probably a MTF squad assigned to contain this adorable pupper gone lovecraft...S.C.P. foundation at it's finest.

[@catus-cactus]

I’m surprised no one thought of an scp puppy that activates it’s anomalous property when it licks you 😆

[@ProtoBlueGaming]

[@gabrielsfilms2086]

id still pet it

[@kalkuttadrop6371]

Reminder: A huge chunk of the horror in this one(what happened to the cows) is just straight up when unchecked regular tapeworms do.

[@ashleighstratmann7783]

Professor Lucius actually did a video with this SCP along with SCP-871. Interesting combo for a video to say at least, and I even joked that if I didn't know better, Lucius had 001-Keter Duty be responsible for setting the two SCPs up together. Of course I didn't mean it. The two combine didn't have neutralizing effect on each other nor did it had any extra annomoulous affect, or the two SCPs contain each other, nor created a new SCP in the process as many of Keter Duty's cross testings have resulted in.

Dr bobs calm voice makes his narrating so much scarier

[@Fridge_Fiend]

Honestly the one I feel worse for here is the tape worm children themselves. They have a confusing life with no parents and they're cursed to kill anyone they love. Kind of reminds me of Rogue from X-men. Though the way the girl was happy about "having a brother" maybe means they're more sinister than they let on. Either that or it's just like any other animal happy about having new young, or Dr. Bob just took some creative embellishments and they don't actually react like that in the real scp lore.

[@maxrectenwald5092]

[@discordiacreates6669]

My guess is the kid thought it was normal since they have no knowledge of their origins and are blank slates as far as world knowledge goes, like there was no time to explain how babies are supposed to be born and the kid seemed to be naturally inclined to be nurturing so my guess is she was completely confused and reacted how she did because she heard the new child crying and, just like the older mother, her instinct was to want to comfort them. Honestly one of the more tragic SCPs out there since them wanting to get close to people is exactly what dooms their unintentional victims so they can't ever have much of any real human connection or they risk harming anyone around them, poor kids
