SCP-3288

SCP-3288 designates a highly predatory species or subspecies of the genus Homo ( Homo anthropophagus ). SCP-3288 display a number of abnormal characteristics and behaviors that distinguish them from the baseline species. The most common deviations include: Acute hyperdontia 1 and macrodontia 2 ; an instance of SCP-3288 has teeth approximately six times the size of normal adult teeth with more than sixty teeth unevenly distributed over six distinct rows, requiring jaws much larger than that of baseline humans (see below) Gross mandibular prognathism 3 Fluctuating facial asymmetry Dolichostenomelia 4 of the arms; an instance of SCP-3288 commonly has arms more than twice the length of a baseline human of similar height Arachnodactyly 5 and polydactyly 6 Kyphosis 7 Abnormal muscle strength despite having the appearance of severe emaciation Albinism Superior low-light vision 8 and heterochromia iridum (specifically complete heterochromia ); 9 the eyes are notably reflective and their colors range from blue, red, purple, and yellow A reliance on both bipedal and quadrupedal locomotion Abnormally rapid physical growth and development; this results in a 2 to 3 week gestation period with sexual maturity being reached within 16 to 20 months Gottschall-Gärtner syndrome 10 , primarily manifesting on the hands and fingers Alopecia universalis 11 Acute photophobia; direct exposure to sunlight will result in both physical and psychological damage Mental instability primarily characterized by delusions of grandeur and malignant narcissism An addiction to human flesh that takes on biological and psychological components These abnormalities are primarily the result of excessive inbreeding but without the increased chance for certain recessive or deleterious traits, especially those related to infertility, higher infant and child mortality, and loss of immune function.
