SCP-8001, also known as Gummi, is a sentient gummy anthro hyena. It was found in a factory in [redacted].
It is unknown if Gummi possesses anomalous clairvoyant abilities, as it physically resembles Dr. Bean in many ways, but was discovered before Dr. Bean was assigned the project. It is unknown how much it resembles him in personality, as further personality testing will need to be done.
SCP-8001 possesses incredible regenerative abilities. Even after death, it will re-appear in the nearest "safe" location (any materials not actively harmful to it) as close as possible to the location it died in.
It does appear that SCP-8001 can communicate with English speakers, though it appears to be incapable of anthro speech. It can understand anthro words despite lacking the necessary organs for this. It can communicate via sign language or written word. The foundation currently believes the language it speaks has something to do with the location it was discovered in. It is important to know that while SCP-8001 is capable of communicating with us, it most often refuses to. We have been able to determine this through a series of questions in the interview section.
Dr. Bean has received permission from the 05 Council and the Ethics Committee to perform a series of vivisections. The following are the results of such:
SCP-8001 is capable of regenerating limbs, organs, and even its entire body through anomalous means. It has never shown any signs of pain or discomfort, most likely due to a lack of nerve endings. SCP-8001 does not appear to be in distress when being cut or eaten, but it does get impatient with the tests and must be restrained. SCP-8001 continually seeks entertainment, so it will only willingly participate in experiments if it deems the experiment interesting enough.
Subject has purple flesh with a coating of sour sugar dust. When sliced into, SCP-8001 will "bleed" a viscous corn syrup based cyan-colored liquid similar to what can be found inside fruit gushers and similar candies. Its tongue is translucent green and tentacle-shaped, and appears to be able to extend approximately 10 inches from the tip to the subject's lips.
SCP-8001's cardiovascular system is simplified like the rest of its internal organs. All organs are made of various candies, but seem to change at random times. It is hypothesized that the amount of regeneration has to do with how long it takes for organs to be replaced with new candy types. All candy organs are generally in the same spot and maintain the same relative shape.
Despite having not been fed yet while in the care of the foundation, SCP-8001's stomach was found to contain an assortment of in-tact treats, some still with the wrappers on.
SCP-8001 does not possess a clear distinction between skin, adipose tissue, and musculature, nor does it possess a skeleton.
Dr. Bean obtained permission from the ethics committee to cook and eat steak cut from SCP-8001's flesh. The steak was butchered while SCP-8001 was still alive. The steak melted in the same way a non-anomalous gummy would melt when cooked.
A second steak was cut from SCP-8001's flesh and fed raw to Class-D Personnel. The D-Class reported that it had the taste and texture of a non-anomalous sour gummy worm. Despite the D-Class metabolizing the steak, SCP-8001 was able to regrow the missing flesh at will. More testing needs to be done to see if there is a correlation between time of metabolism and time of flesh regrowth.
This does imply what some would term an "infinite food glitch." Unfortunately, the only food it provides contains the same nutritional profile as a non-anomalous gummy.
We are currently having a team of gastronomers reverse engineer the recipe. We plan to reproduce it to test if the recipe itself would create more anomalous gummies.
I will provide more research logs soon.
