 SCP-788 is a creature resembling an African carp, labio-cubi, approximately 3.2 meters in length, and composed entirely of ultramethic magma, with a skin of cracked Picritic basalt. It is currently estimated to have a core temperature of approximately 1475 degrees centigrade, though its skin temperature is typically much lower. Examples obtained from SCP-788 have shown no differentiation or internal structure. SCP-788 has been observed with simple behavior identical to that of a typical water-dwelling fish. It does not exhibit unusual strength for a creature of its size, though its sheer size and mass can result in damage to its containment cell if it becomes agitated. SCP-788 consumes several types of ore and minerals, with a preference for iron and magnesium.
