Item #: SCP-2547
Object Class: Keter
Laconic Containment Procedures: Monitor potentially susceptible towns and evacuate/amnesticize civilians if it shows up.
Laconic Description: SCP-2547 is a pack of 4000 canines that spontaneously appears in rural American towns in that have a population of less than 3000 people, and at least one reservoir and church. All members of SCP-2547 have human DNA. They are led by a talking coyote wearing a leather jacket and a crucifix.
Upon the group's arrival, they'll surround the town and prevent people from leaving. Three days later, all the water in the reservoir will vanish and the leader will then start preaching canine-oriented sermons from the church. He will offer to trade a variety of items for water, but turns those with undesirable items into canines to be members of SCP-2547. On the next full moon the group gathers their traded items and departs.
SCP-2547 claims that he has been forgotten by society so he and his pack raid towns as a means of publicity extrapolating this. The Foundation helps produce and popularize a variety of coyote-themed media. In response to more people knowing about coyotes, SCP-2547 begins appearing less often.
Additional Context: Coyotes are widespread throughout Native American mythology as sly trickster gods of sorts; therefore it is implied that SCP-2547 is one of these gods simply trying to return to the public eye.
