Dr Clef's SCP- 001 — The Gate Guardian

Dr Clef's Proposal - The Gate Guardian

SCP-001 photographed from the vantage point at Site 0. Note the four flaming "wing" appendages located above and to either side of the figure.

Author: DrClef
Posted: October 7th, 2008

"PREPARE"

Dr. Clef's proposal for SCP-001, a flaming humanoid figure resembling an angel that is heavily implied to be Archangel Jophiel, the angel who cast Adam and Eve out of Eden.

---

• Angelic Abomination: A vastly powerful flaming angel that can destroy anything near it.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: It's 700 cubits tall, that's 1,050 feet (or 320 meters).
• Big Damn Heroes: In SCP-1730, it flies in to clash with the giant black worm monster and SCP-2845, giving the survivors more time to run.
• Compelling Voice: Issues commands to those who come too close. The most common is "Forget," which results in the person walking away with no memory of the encounter. Supposedly, it gave The Founder the order "Prepare," which he claimed formed the impetus for creating the SCP Foundation.
• Deader than Dead: Its Flaming Sword can annihilate beings down to the atomic level, meaning that there is practically nothing left of them physically.
• The Dreaded: When an entity is so powerful that even Able refuses to fight it, you know it counts as this trope.
• Everyone Has Standards: The Foundation sent a D-Class to approach it, and it commanded the D-Class to leave. After the Foundation ordered him to resume the experiment and he continued to disobey, the Foundation terminated him. SCP-001 immediately destroyed the research staff conducting the experiment. Do not murder a guy following his orders.
• Flaming Sword: Has a sword that produces heat that is not only hotter than the Sun, but can completely remove whatever it hits from existence.
• Garden of Eden: What it seems to be protecting.
• "Instant Death" Radius: Any entity that gets within a 1km radius of it will be immediately struck by its Flaming Sword and instantly obliterated from existence.
• Light Is Good: Depends on interpretation, but it could lean more toward good due to how it prompted the Founder to create the Foundation and contain so many dangerous entities and anomalies. It also violently terminated the researchers who killed a D-Class who refused to turn back. Its 'rescue' of the survivors in SCP-1730 could be interpreted as genuine concern for their safety unless the Guardian simply wanted a good fight. It will also forcibly order anyone approaching it to turn back instead of destroying them, either because it thinks they are Not Worth Killing or out of a genuine desire to preserve their lives.
• Masquerade Enforcer: Possibly. It inspired the creation of the SCP. In addition, its actions during the battle at SCP-1730 suggests that it will violently attack any being that threatens to cause a masquerade breach.
• No Name Given: Actually averted by implication. It's almost undoubtedly Uriel.
• Our Angels Are Different: Specifically, a fiery Cherub. It's heavily implied if not outright stated to be the Archangel Uriel, or possibly Jophiel, who chased Adam and Eve out of Eden and took up the flaming sword to keep humanity out and implied by The Leak thread to be Dr. Clef (yes, it seems Clef proposed himself).
• Super-Reflexes: It's capable of striking out at intruders in its radius at such a fast speed that it doesn't even appear to have moved.

SCP- 035 — Possessive Mask

SCP-035 - Possessive Mask

A depiction of SCP-035 without its ever-present secretions.

Author: Kain Pathos Crow
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)

"Touch me my savior, my love, and touch one of the humans. Cure it. Cure it, and let me wear it, my sweet doctor."

SCP-035 is a white porcelain comedy mask which, at times, will change to tragedy. A black, viscous, highly corrosive liquid constantly seeps from the eye and mouth holes of the mask, which will corrode anything coming into contact with it. Subjects in visual contact with the mask hear it telepathically addressing them, as well as experiencing a strong urge to put it on. Subjects who have heard this voice have found that the mask possesses a sadistic personality and is a master of psychological manipulation. When 035 is placed on the face of an individual, it will cause an alternate brain wave pattern to overlap that of the original host, effectively possessing them. The mask's fluid will gradually allow for the bodies of "possessed" subjects decay at a highly accelerated rate, eventually becoming little more than mummified corpses.

A list of its appearance can be found here.

---

• Abhorrent Admirer: He is a scary-looking Evil Mask with a one-sided attraction to SCP-049. It gets even worse when he becomes obsessed with SCP-6118 instead, who is terrified of him. This is played for horror rather than comedy, as the writer of that story based its behavior on a real life abusive partner that they had.
• Break Them by Talking: During the boldest escape attempt it's made, it drove several researchers to unintelligible insanity by talking to them about past traumas.
• The Corruption: Everything around it will decay and distort from its constant sludge or its telepathic whispering, from the specially alloyed containment chamber it is locked in to the minds of personnel assigned to guard it. Even its host bodies are not safe from its corrosive influence (to the entity's chagrin), and they all rot to uselessness after a few hours.
• Cool Mask: An old-style Italian drama mask. Whether it appears as a comedy mask or a tragedy mask to the viewer is random.
• Covered in Gunge: Constantly emits a corrosive black slime from its eyeholes and mouth.
• Demonic Possession: What the mask does when put on a wearer (a dummy will do as well as a human body), enabling it to speak and move about. Unfortunately for the mask, its power rapidly burns through hosts (and automatically kills living ones). It seeks to remedy this problem by possessing SCP-682.
• Evil Mask: As if the corrosive secretion isn't enough, it kills wearers, drives anyone around crazy, and turns the nearby environment into a World Gone Mad.
• Faux Affably Evil: When in possession of a host, the mask is unfailingly polite and amiable to questioners. That said, like any good Satanic archetype, the mask is also seductive and manipulative, with its eventual goal being to escape from containment (and presumably doing whatever it was doing before the Foundation imprisoned it). It also stops being friendly once it is denied host privileges, and starts trying to corrode or madden its way out.
• Literally Shattered Lives: In Médecin, Not Medicine, SCP-049 decommissions it by breaking it to pieces.
• Make Them Rot: The physical danger of the mask and its main offensive ability.
• Manipulative Bastard: Based on its psychological profile, the mask is skilled at flattery and guile, knowing the human mind inside and out.
• Mask of Power: It possess anything that has a humanoid shape, including mannequins, corpses, and statues, enabling movement, and also sustains living wearers despite their decaying bodies (albeit not indefinitely).
• Murderous Mask: Kills anyone who wears it, therefore it seeks the unkillable, like 682.
• Ominous Obsidian Ooze: The mask constantly emits a viscous black fluid from its eye and mouth holes which corrodes anything coming into contact with it, wearing down the specially alloyed cells it's locked in every two weeks and decaying its hosts to uselessness after a few hours.
• Our Demons Are Different:
  • Is seemingly a classical demon or devil sealed within an indestructible mask.
  • According to another author, the entity within the mask may be the exiled Black Lord of Alagadda, Wearer of the Anguished Mask.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: The article does not say if the mask has any other name besides its SCP designation. It is also known by its title as one of the lords of Alagada. It wasn't given a name until its appearance in the UnHuman canon, where SCP-049 reveals that its name is Dỳo.
• Possession Burnout: Anything that wears the mask (including living humanoids) will eventually rot away after some time. Naturally the mask is annoyed by this and wants to find a host that won't wither away.
• Psychic Powers: He can read minds in order to determine just what to say to break someone. When he doesn't have a host he can compel people to put him on. If he isn't worn for a very long time he steps it up to causing mental damage to people around him.
• Sealed Evil in a Can; The mask is merely an indestructible container, the evil itself lies within.
• Single-Target Sexuality: The only creature other than himself that he seems to genuinely care for is SCP-049, whom he is head over heels in love with. Although he later becomes attracted to SCP-6118 instead.
• Stalker with a Crush: He has been a creepy stalker towards SCP-049 and SCP-6118, both of whom he has had a one-sided attraction to.
• Villainous Breakdown: After it was denied the privilege of host bodies after an escape attempt, it stopped trying to be nice and started psychologically and physically lashing out at anyone and everyone to try and intimidate the Foundation into getting what it wants. The Foundation refuses to humor it. He also has a major breakdown when SCP-6118 refuses to return his affections, behaving like an emotionally abusive partner.
• White Mask of Doom: Beneath the black sludge.

SCP- 049 — Plague Doctor

SCP-049 - Plague Doctor

SCP-049.

Authors: Gabriel Jade, djkaktus ^{(rewrite only)}
Posted: December 10th, 2009
Rewritten: May 9th, 2018
Voiced by: TheVolgun, Karim Kronfli (The SCP Archives)

"Life and death, sickness and health, these are amateur terms for amateur physicians. There is only one ailment that exists in the world of men, and that is the Pestilence."

SCP-049 is one of the most notorious SCPs in Foundation custody. He is a humanoid entity dressed as a Medieval plague doctor, capable of speaking in a variety of languages, though he tends to prefer English or medieval French. While he is generally cordial and cooperative with Foundation staff, 049 will become highly irritated or outright aggressive if he feels that he is around individuals infected with what he calls "The Pestilence", and will attempt to "cure" the individual. 049 "cures" his patients by touching them with his hands, which immediately causes all biological functions to cease. He then performs surgery on the body, turning the victims into mindless, aggressive revenants classified as SCP-049-2. 049 is unable to explain what "The Pestilence" actually is, is confused that the Foundation doesn't know about it, and insists that turning people into 049-2 is necessary to save them.

SCP-049-J is a parody of 049, and according to some sources is actually his son.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Affably Evil: When he speaks, he is rather polite and well mannered. Though he doesn't see himself as evil at all, and is polite to the Foundation because he sees them as fellow men of science. This slips up after he kills Dr. Hamm and he has a shouting fit.
• Ambiguously Human: The plague doctor outfit is part of his body, for one thing. His "robe" and "gloves" are similar to a thick hide and his "mask" is a chitinous structure growing from the bones of his face. He also does not age and doesn't eat.
• Amnesiac Lover: He once was lovers with SCP-035, although he has no memory of this, which is probably a good thing considering how abusive SCP-035 is.
• Bag of Holding: His medical bag is much larger on the inside and he has been seen pulling objects from it that are larger than the bag is.
• Bird People: He changes into a more bird-like form when he is in Alagadda. And he also used to have wings according to one of his possible backstories.
• Black Sheep: The version of SCP-049 in the Death and the Doctors tale series is one of several plague doctor-like creatures that are servants of the Three Death Brothers. These plague doctors were supposed to be preservers of life but he decided that life itself needed to be cured and started performing surgery on himself in order to purify himself. When he calls one of his fellow plague doctors a brother, the other doctor responds by saying SCP-049 is a beast and no brother of his.
• Broken Angel: According to one possible backstory, he used to have wings, and not be brain-damaged. He used to be a circus performer who would revive dead bodies for entertainment, but after putting on one last brilliant performance he was left physically and mentally damaged and his wings were removed to keep him from returning to the circus.
• Cassandra Truth: Possibly. Depending on what the Pestilence is, it could end or completely change humanity if it affected everyone. There is literally no information on it that is decipherable and the Doctor claims that it is too complicated to explain by plain speech.
• Clothing Appendage: As stated above, his "uniform" is actually part of his body.
• Curious Qualms of Conscience: Implied; Dr. Hamm speculates that he's more aware of the horrific effects his cure has than he lets on and this is only further supported by 049's Villainous Breakdown after Dr. Hamm's death at his hands. In both cases, 049 tries to dismiss the concerns, insisting that his cure is working.
• Deal with the Devil: One possible backstory for him is that he was a doctor who made a deal with The Fair Folk for a cure for the bubonic plague, but they gave instructions on how to cure the world of humanity instead, which turned him into a monster.
• Deadly Doctor: Oh yes. He has Touch of Death, and he uses it to "cure".
• Egg-Laying Male: He lays eggs despite being male.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
  • He was overjoyed during SCP-049-J's birth and shed a single tear of joy when SCP-049-J managed to breach containment immediately after.
  • Judging by his test log for SCP-978, he might have a child.
• Florence Nightingale Effect: SCP-6118 falls in love with SCP-049 as a result of SCP-049 treating their injuries.
• For Science!: The Foundation initially indulged his wish to experiment, giving him various mammals and the occasional D Class to test his "cure" on. However, after he killed and reanimated his initial main doctor, Dr. Hamm he was restricted from further experiments and gained a frostier relationship with the staff.
• Frontier Doctor: His counterpart in the Aces and Eights canon is a traveling doctor in the Weird West battling a zombie plague.
• Gender Flip: His counterpart in the Aces and Eights canon is a woman.
• Graceful Loser: The reason he's listed as Euclid and not Keter. He willingly entered Foundation custody shortly after the SCP-049-2 instances were destroyed and largely seems unbothered by his containment, at least at first. Though he's grown more annoyed after the Foundation started denying him test subjects.
• Hammerspace: SCP-049 can produce a bag containing scalpels, needle, and thread from its body and return it to its body when it's finished with it. The bag cannot be detected in any way while inside SCP-049's body.
• Homosexual Reproduction: SCP-049 and Dr. Hamm are SCP-049-J's fathers.
• I Am the Noun: During his Villainous Breakdown.
  "He was sick, I know he was sick, I know he was, and I... you are all sick, but I... I can save you. I can save all of you, because I... I am the cure."
• Ignored Epiphany: Dr. Hamm speculates that SCP-049 is more aware of the effects of his cure than he lets on, but if this is true, then 049 continuously dismisses this awareness. This is more subtly visible in the way he repeats the words "I saved him" over and over after being reprimanded for killing Dr. Hamm, as after a while, it sounds less like he actually believes it and more like he's desperately trying to convince himself it's true.
• Interspecies Romance: SCP-6118 falls in love with him.
• Kick the Morality Pet: SCP-049 was fairly close with his main doctor, Dr. Raymond Hamm, and was generally more cordial towards him than other researchers. Then, he kills him, believing him to be stricken with the "pestilence".
• Knight Templar: He might actually be this; it depends on how aware he is of his "cure's" real effects. He generally seems to be in denial that it is anything other than a necessity to kill people.
• Necromancer: He turns people he's killed with the aforementioned Touch of Death into violent zombies (collectively designated SCP-049-2) via some strange surgery. He can also do this with other mammals. So far the only creature he has successfully revived as more than just a mindless zombie is Leslie the mosquito.
• Mister Seahorse: He gets pregnant and lays an egg that hatches into SCP-049-J.
• Multiple-Choice Past: Like many SCPs that were not given a backstory in their original document, many different authors have written their own backstory for him. Possibilities include being a servant of the Death Brothers who went mad, or a doctor during the bubonic plague who was tricked by The Fair Folk.
• The Needless: He doesn't require food or sleep.
• Not So Stoic: Under normal circumstances, 049 is rather soft-spoken, but the interview logs show that he gets very agitated when people doubt the effectiveness of his "cure".
• Obliviously Evil: He is genuinely baffled that the Foundation doesn't understand his actions and methods, even after watching him and reading his (to them indecipherable) notes, nor can they even tell what the Pestilence is to him.
• Odd Friendship: With Doctor Spanko in the Cack tale series. He also becomes friends with Leslie the Mosquito after bringing her back from the dead. He also is close with SCP-6118, who has a crush on him.
• Only Friend:
  • He can look at 096's face without fear of being killed. He simply held the beast while he wept. Both were distressed when Foundation workers separated them.
  • Dr. Raymond Hamm appeared to be this for 049 for a while, as the two acted generally more cordial toward each other than 049 did with others. It didn't end well, as 049 eventually saw the "Pestilence" in Hamm (or so he claims) and ended up killing him.
• The Only One: He claims to be the only person in the world capable of perceiving and curing The Pestilence.
• Pet the Dog: He refuses to use his cure on people he doesn't sense the pestilence in. When he is presented with a dying man who doesn't have it, he stays with them so they will not be alone during their final hours, instead of using the cure on them as he had been ordered to do.
• Plague Doctor: He wears the traditional garb, anyway. Although closer inspection reveals that it's actually part of his body.
• Poor Communication Kills: An odd example. During his interviews, he talks of the Pestilence. Dr. Hamm asks what it is, but SCP-049 is unable to think of the common name for it. When Dr. Hamm suggests that it is the bubonic plague, 049 admits that he doesn't know what that is despite having lived through that time period. He also says it spreads, but can't explain why it is bad or what its symptoms are. He also can't explain why killing and reanimating his targets is somehow better than just not messing with them. This is a major reason why the staff is unwilling to work with him after he kills Dr. Hamm since it certainly looks like he's just a crazy murderer.
• The Quiet One: Before the May 2018 rewrite, there was only one time when he actually has spoken and it caught the scientist who was with him completely by surprise. This was later retconned out, giving him a tendency to speak quite often during his experiments for the benefit of the researchers watching.
• Self-Surgery: In the story Surgery, he performs brain surgery on himself to get rid of unwanted parts of his own mind. This version of him does not have a Bag of Holding, so he keeps his surgical tools hidden inside of his own body, so he has to surgically removed them before can can use them, and it is stated that he somehow made his robe out of his own skin.
• Spider-Sense: Apparently can "sense" the disease in people.
• Straight Gay: He is gay in a lot of stories, having been in relationships with Doctor Hamm, SCP-035, and SCP-6118, but is never given any stereotypically gay traits. Considering his nature as a not-quite human monster, the original writer probably intended for him to be asexual.
• Touch of Death: He can cause living things to cease all life functions with a touch.
• Villainous Breakdown: Following the death of Dr. Raymond Hamm at his hands, 049 starts to lose it.
  SCP-049: I can save them all! I can cast down this plague, once and for all. I can do this! Only me! I… I… (labored breathing) I saved… I saved him… Dr. Hamm, I… I cured him… he was sick, I know he was sick, I know he was, and I… you are all sick, but I… I can save you. I can save all of you, because I… I am the cure.
• Voice of the Legion: Even with the distortion of the recording his voice seems to have a natural reverb to it.
• Was Once a Man: This tale implies he was a German doctor who made a Deal with the Devil to cure a plague that had driven his wife to suicide, and was transformed into SCP-049.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: In his own mind anyway. In the rewrite he is regretful of killing Dr. Hamm but maintains that it was necessary to combat The Pestilence.
• Whale Egg: He appears to be biologically human aside from the weird growths that look like a plague doctor's outfit, but somehow he lays eggs like a bird.
• Windmill Crusader: The other possibility. The Doctor claims to have lived through Medieval France. It's possible that he saw the bubonic plague and it drove him insane. That wouldn't explain his long life or his powers, though. He also claims that he doesn't know what the bubonic plague is.

SCP- 053 — The Young Girl

SCP-053 - Young Girl

Author: Dr Gears
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)

SCP-053 is an apparently ordinary three-year-old girl, except that anyone who is around her for more than 10 minutes at a time becomes hyper-aggressive and homicidal toward her. Should they manage to inflict injury, they instantly drop dead, while each injury she sustains heals instantly. Despite the effects she has on the people around her, she seems to have no idea of it whatsoever and continues to maintain her cheerful demeanor.

---

• Abusive Parents: Her father's journal reveals that even her parents were consumed by her Hate Plague and wanted her dead.
• Admiring the Abomination: Has become very fond of SCP-682, even crying when they were separated. When photographed with a camera that would show what she wished she was doing at that exact moment, it showed her riding on his back through the countryside.
• Ambiguously Evil: Her Hate Plague and 682's apparent fondness for her causes many to wonder if she's truly as innocent as she seems.
• Came Back Wrong: The journal listed above implies the Hate Plague started once she survived a would-be fatal playground accident.
• Conditioned to Accept Horror: Since many attempts on her life are so common due to the Hate Plague, she sees that as a normal part of her life.
• Creepy Child: Despite being a Cheerful Child, it's clear that there's an inherent wrongness lurking within 053 that makes any human looking at her think she needs to stop existing.
• The Diaper Change: Certain unruly foot soldiers were once threatened to be put on diaper duty for her.
• Don't Fear the Reaper: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, she's Death among the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and her demeanor doesn't seem all that different than how it usually is.
• The Fake Cutie: Subverted in the sense that she is genuinely as sweet and innocent as she acts, but played straight in the minds of those subjected to her effects.
• Fluffy Tamer: An experiment placing 053 in contact with 682 ended with 682 being drawn on with crayons.
• Good Thing You Can Heal: SCP-053 will regenerate almost instantaneously from any wound, regardless of severity.
• The Grim Reaper: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, she's revealed to be Death among the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and SCP-682 is her steed.
• Hate Plague: Anyone over the age of three who make eye contact with, physically touch, or remain around SCP-053 for longer than 10 minutes will attempt to kill her, after killing or driving off everybody visible to them, then suffer massive heart attacks or seizures. She simply instantaneously heals all the injuries inflicted on her.
• Horsemen of the Apocalypse: She is Death in the Competitive Eschatology canon.
• Humanoid Abomination: 053 is actually a sweet child, but with her power and fact that 682 is docile toward her, it's clear that there's something really wrong here. According to Word of God, part of the reason for her Hate Plague is because humans instinctively know what she is and want to dispose of her ASAP.
• Ironic Name: She's called "The Young Girl", but per Word of God, she's probably not young at all.
• Morality Pet: She's one of the only things that SCP-682 doesn't hate. They get along very well.
• Never Grew Up: According to Word of God, she's physically incapable of change of any kind.
• No Name Given: Actually, her name is mentioned in this recovery log. It's "Abby."
• Obliviously Evil: She's completely unaware of the effects she has on other people.
• Odd Friendship: Played for Horror. SCP-682, who hates everything not it with the passion of a billion suns, is actually friendly with her. This just makes the mystery of her true nature even more frightening.
• Really 700 Years Old: Here's Gears' own words.
  When I first conceived 053 (no pun intended), I thought of her as unchanging and unchanging. To me, she is something that looks and acts like a little girl. What that is, I have no idea... maybe she's something very, very old, and the reaction people have is some kind of genetic imprinting that says this thing has to die ASAP. Some food for thought...
• Reincarnation: According to the Those Who Lived On tale series, she's a being from the previous universe reborn as a human.
• That Thing Is Not My Child!: The last entry of her dad's journal reveals this, with the Hate Plague making him disown her.
• Tom the Dark Lord: A Hate Plague in a Humanoid Abomination form and the embodiment of Death in the Competitive Eschatology canon is named Abby.
• The Undead: It is suggested that the reason why SCP-682 likes her is because she isn't alive in the same way that other people are.

SCP- 058 — Heart of Darkness

SCP-058 - Heart of Darkness

Author: (unknown)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008)

"The sensual violence of lust is all the assurance you will ever need to know the worth of life."

SCP-058 is a creature that resembles a cow's heart, with 4 spiny arthropod-like legs used primarily for impressively speedy movement, 4 tentacles of adjustable length, and a single sharp "stinger" on its rear, where the hole for the superior vena cava would be in a typical organ. 058 is extremely hostile and will use every opportunity afforded to inflict damage on its surroundings. 058 talks in constant word salads, and will never cease doing so even when attacking.

---

• Beware My Stinger Tail: It has a scorpion-like tail.
• Big Creepy-Crawlies: It's only the size of a bovine heart but it probably still applies.
• Combat Tentacles: It has four of these, covered with razor sharp spines, and can use them as whips.
• Evil Brit: Or at least its voice has a British accent.
• Our Monsters Are Weird: It looks like a heart with appendages that somehow can speak weird/disturbing phrases without a mouth of any sorts. But whatever it is, who can guess?
• Stealth Pun: It's a literal heart of darkness. i.e. a heart (biological organ) of darkness (evil).
• Word-Salad Horror: All of what it says is pretty ominous and creepy, but none of it makes sense.

SCP- 073 — Cain

SCP-073 - "Cain"

Cain in SCP-6666

Author: Kain Pathos Crow
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008)

"I was young and jealous. I got older. Time carved its wisdom into me."

SCP-073 is a heavily-tanned man of Middle Eastern descent in his early thirties, with black hair and blue eyes, who claims to be Cain, the first murderer. An ancient mark appears branded on his forehead, which repels any damage done to him by his attacker, leaving him functionally immortal. His arms, legs, spinal cord, and shoulder blades have been replaced with artificial versions of unknown make and metal. His presence causes all plant life within twenty meters of him to whither and decay. Cain has been speculated to have wandered the Earth for 6,000 years after slaying his brother and being cast out of his father's kingdom, having only recently been taken into Foundation custody. While detained, Cain has shown himself to be generally friendly and polite to his fellow humans, claiming that his millenia of wandering have mellowed him.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Adaptational Attractiveness: The SCP-073 article does not describe Cain's appearance in detail, but SCP-6666 portrays him as a handsome young man, leading a number of forum commentators to dub this version of the character "Hot Cain."
• Artificial Limbs: His arms, shoulder blades, legs and spinal cord. He's bordering on Cyborg.
• Attack Reflector: He has an ability similar to this. When a person inflicts injuries on him, that person receives the injury, leaving Cain unharmed.
• Been There, Shaped History: In addition to being the first murderer, SCP-343 mentions that Cain was the inventor of writing, which led to the first Canaanite languages - so called because Cain invented them.
• Blessed with Suck: Although he is invulnerable, he still he feels the pain of all injuries inflicted on him.
• Cain and Abel: He's the Cain. Notably, 6,000 years of cursed life has reversed his role; he's now more of an Abel than Able himself (see below).
• Creepy Monotone: He's described as being cold and somewhat mechanical in his speech.
• Disappeared Dad: Neither him nor Able have said much on where is Adam. However, SCP-2932 (a Thaumiel-class center that is implied to have been the SCP predecessor formed by the Children of the Night) mentions a certain Adam El Asem as being there, a human (or Children of the Sun as also known) with Reality Warper powers. Both he and the Children of the Night hated him; SCP-4840 further reveals that Cain attempted to claim his father's crown, and was exiled and received the Mark of Cain as a punishment.
• Make Them Rot: He withers all plant matter in a small radius around himself.
• Mundane Utility: The organization has an immortal, indestructible person with a photographic memory. They decide to use him as a backup data storage system.
• Mythology Gag: The reason why he's so hesitant to approach The Gate Guardian is because he's (possibly) Archangel Jophiel, the angel who cast his parents out of Eden.
• Nice Guy: The opposite of what one would expect of someone based on the first murderer.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: Due to his reflecting back all damage.
• No-Sell: Any damage done to him will simply appear on the person who attempted to harm him; relates to the Biblical Mark of Cain, which prevented people from killing him.
• Not So Stoic: It's rare, but things can make him visibly nervous. When he was ordered to approach the Gate Guardian, where despite complying with orders kept urging the Foundation to let him back out. In SCP-6666 he also expresses regret over being estranged from his younger brother Seth, wondering if he is still alive and wishing that he'd had a chance to apologize to him.
• The Omniscient: He knows a lot about historical events and can speak commonly spoken languages fluently. Having a photographic memory also helps.
• Photographic Memory: Another of his notable traits, such that the Foundation uses him to back up records.
• Real Men Eat Meat: Due to his effect on vegetation, all he can eat is meat.
• Secret-Keeper: The SCP Foundation is using him as a living data storage system.
• The Stoic: It's not easy to faze him.
• Walking Wasteland: Fitting the original curse placed on the biblical Cain. Any and all plant-life is destroyed when he comes into contact with it.

SCP- 076 — "Able"

SCP-076 - "Able"

Authors: Kain Pathos Crow ^(original), DrClef ^(rewrite)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
Rewritten: April 1st, 2009

SCP-076 is "Able", a highly dangerous man with an uncontrolled violent streak. He is implied to be the biblical Abel, and for this reason possesses an unending hatred for his brother Cain (SCP-073), also in Foundation custody, for slaying him 6,000 years ago. Able is extremely fast, extremely strong, and extremely difficult to kill, with the ability to summon any form of hadheld weapon, or utilizing anything he can get his hands on as an effective weapon. If he is killed, he resurrects inside a stone cube known as SCP-076-1. The ressurection process varies in length, lasting anywhere from hours to years. Sometimes, Able will prematurely awaken before attempting to breach 076-1. If he is successful, Able will enter a trance and seek out the nearest human being, then entering an enraged state where he attempts to slaughter all human beings he encounters.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Arrogant God vs. Raging Monster: Inevitably, this is the result when he battles SCP-682, as he's an arrogant, powerful humanoid going up against an animal-like monstrosity. Though it's downplayed because both of them are Berserkers.
• Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: "SCP-076-2 has however, shown that it has great knowledge of human anatomy (although in a highly violent context), military tactics of open warfare, metallurgy, and, strangely enough, the care of livestock." Presumably, it's a reference to the Bible, in which Abel is a shepherd.
• Ax-Crazy: Able's mind (such as it is) is filled with a desire to cause violence and nothing else.
• Berserk Button: Presumably, exposure to a picture of the symbol on SCP-073's forehead (SCP-073 is Cain.)
• The Berserker: One of his defining traits. Able has no interests beyond killing people.
  [After leaving SCP-076-1], subject will enter a trance state and seek out the nearest human being, ignoring all other living things in the process. Upon coming into contact with living humans, SCP-076-2 will enter a rage state in which it attempts to engage and kill all human beings encountered.
• Big Eater: His choice of pizza (as determined by SCP-458) is a large, thick crusted one topped with meatballs, pepperoni, bacon, Canadian bacon, sausage, & hamburger. That's quite a lot of meat on a large, thick crusted pizza.
• Blood Knight: His defining character trait is his endless lust for combat, and the only beings he treats with any level of respect are those who can match or exceed him in it.
  • He specifically considers the battle against 682 "the best fight he had had in ages". Apparently, it was so great that he wanted to celebrate with his team.
  • Played for Laughs in the Tale "The Omega-7 and The Bench of Shame," where he gets way too into a team-building dodgeball exercise for Omega-7.
    "Your victory calls for celebration!" [Able] proclaimed with a sharp toothed grin, "Come, to the cafeteria!"
    "...Um, Commander? Julian's wrist is broken."
    "...Alright, to the infirmary! And then the cafeteria!"
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: This is the result of the psychological testing done on him by the Foundation. Able's mind is, in laconic terms, completely empty aside from a desire to cause violence. He kills everyone he meets simply because he can't comprehend anything other than killing.
• Cain and Abel: He's the Abel. Notably, 6,000 years of undeath has reversed his role; he's now more of a Cain than Cain himself (who is also an SCP; see SCP-073).
• Cosmic Retcon: SCP-6140 suggests his general depiction in the SCP universe to be a result of this, being the alternate history version of Ab-Leshal, a nonanomalous Daevite folk hero who led the rebellion that freed the enslaved people of the Daevite Empire alongside his brother Qayin (aka SCP-073). Their anomalous properties and connection to the Abrahamic faith are the result of the ritual performed by the author of SCP-140 to rewrite history so that it matched the one depicted in SCP-140.
• Deconstructed Character Archetype: He can be viewed as one regarding the archetypical "epic heroes" of countless different mythologies. While these heroes were certainly noble for their time, society has a whole has trended more towards pacifism and away from violence over the intervening millennia, with the original heroes now being much closer to the Proud Warrior Race Guy archetype than what one would likely expect. Essentially, Able can be seen as showing how many archetypical heroes of old (i.e., Achilles, Heracles, and Gilgamesh) would be considered murderous Blood Knights from a modern perspective.
• Depending on the Writer: While he's almost always now written as essentially being a humanoid-shaped tornado of knives, how rational, intelligent, honorable, empathetic, and just plain human on a psychological level Able can be is heavily dependent on the whims of whoever's currently writing him. Justified thanks to how there is no canon.
• Disappeared Dad: Neither him nor Cain have said much on where is Adam. However, SCP-2932 (a Thaumiel-class center that is implied to have been the SCP predecessor formed by the Children of the Night) mentions a certain Adam El Ansem as being there, a human (or Children of the Sun as also known) with Reality Warper powers. Both he and the Children of the Night hated him. Technically, this means Adam is stronger than either of his sons.
• Even Evil Has Standards: When he tried out a drink mixed with SCP-447-2, he seemed to enjoy it... until he was told of what happens when it comes in contact with dead bodies, at which point he lost interest.
• Fallen Hero: In the Et Tam Deum Petivi canon, it's implied that "Ab-Leshal" used to actually be a noble warrior and defender of mankind until they were twisted into an Unwitting Pawn of the Daevites.
• Feel No Pain: Even when they're horribly debilitating injuries, Able will try to walk them off as much as he can so he can try to continue his murderous rampage. At one point in "Lord Blackwood and the Great Tarasque Hunt of '83" Lord Blackwood shoots Able five times directly in the face at point-blank range. The Humanoid Abomination's response is only to turn and give him a Death Glare before charging.
• Flight, Strength, Heart: Inverted. His "oddball minor power" of animal husbandry is the only one that has any actual explanation. It's all his major powers and skills that don't really seem to belong.
• Godzilla Threshold: Back before he rebelled, the Foundation recruited him into MTF Omega-7 (also known as the Bowe Commission), a task force that, unlike others, includes anomalous personnel. They often dealt with particularly dangerous entities by basically throwing him at them.
• Hammerspace: He has the ability to pull non-reflective black bladed weapons out of a miniature dimensional rift described as a "small hole in space". The instant the weapon leaves his grasp, it vanishes.
• Hazy-Feel Turn: It's mentioned in SCP-5000 that he's helping the Global Occult Coalition defend the sanctuary citadel of Ganzir from the Foundation... though this change of allegiance is implied to be more motivated by residual anger with the Foundation having successfully contained him for so long.
• Healing Factor: Part of what makes him so dangerous is that he can easily heal from injuries, and so typically There Is No Kill Like Overkill needs to be applied to make sure that he finally stays down for the count before he's eventually resurrected.
• Humanoid Abomination: Is an Implacable Man Blood Knight who can create and summon any form of bladed weapon he wishes, and has a mind fundamentally different from any human's.
• Implacable Man: It takes a lot to even stagger Able, let alone incapacitate him.
• It Can Think: Much to the discomfort of those fighting him, Able might be a bloodthirsty berserker, but he's also not stupid, which makes him even more of a massive hazard to face. When Lord Blackwood carefully observed a fight he'd arranged between Able and SCP-682, he notes with some revulsion that the "god-man" was disturbingly creative in using even his own injuries against the monster such as making weapons out of his own severed entrails to try and strangle the beast once and for all.
• Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Was given a hefty Rewrite to paint him as a barely intelligent and gleefully murderous sociopath who desires nothing else than to kill anyone who might even cross his path.
• Kill It with Water: Able's revised containment procedures are to keep the containment unit flooded with seawater unless access is required. If he manages to get past the security personnel on site, their last resort containment measure is to seal off the site and flood the entire thing for 24 hours.
• Laughably Evil: A downplayed and meta case; While In-Universe he's a terrifyingly dangerous and sociopathic Person of Mass Destruction, his antics frequently fall into Comedic Sociopathy when viewed from an out-of-universe (like that one time he broke the jaw of one of his own soldiers with a Nerf sword).
• Lightning Bruiser: SCP-076-2 is superhumanly fast, strong, and powerful, capable of feats like clearing 64 meters in 3 seconds and destroying a reinforced steel door after 4 minutes of assault.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: Despite being described as "lean", he can rip through steel walls in minutes.
• "No. Just… No" Reaction: When told to approach the Gate Guardian, 076 refused to carry it out. When asked why, he would cite this trope verbatim.
• Noodle Incident: There's an offhand mention by a researcher that Able managed to break someone's jaw with a Nerf sword.
• Old Shame: His association with Omega-7 is one for the Foundation. The revised SCP-076 article starts with a letter from an unnamed doctor opposing proposed changes to it stemming from the Foundation's higher-ups trying to sweep the whole incident under the rug, stating that the people in charge of containing him have to know what they're dealing with.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Will kill anyone and everyone on sight.
• One-Man Army: It takes entire Mobile Task Forces to take him down.
• Overshadowed by Awesome: The old guide to write humanoid SCP lampshaded this. Dangerous as he is, Able has been killed several times. At least in the Foundation's eyes, he's more of a product of SCP-076-1. Yet people tend to pay more attention to Able.
• Pet the Dog:
  • It's in Project Crossover, but Able seems to be at peace when tending to his pig farm. "He loved to spoil the little guys."
  • Also see Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking.
  • Dr. Spanko's use of the name(?) "Ablesauce" when asked about the dangerous anomalies that expressed interest in meeting him also implies that Able is fond of the comical screaming bird.
• Reality-Breaking Paradox: In an archived tale (rated under 0 but archived at admin decision), Able was tasked with trying to kill 682. They tore each other to ribbons but neither quite get the job done, took a break, went back into it, and fought so hard that they caused a [DATA EXPUNGED] event, implied to have been a hole they broke in the universe. Which means that one or the other's powers went off the scale, or that they're both such insane Human/Eldritch abominations that their co-presence messed up the laws of physics.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He gives one to an unnamed doctor when pressed about the topic of his unnamed Worthy Opponents untimely demise.
  Dr. ██████: Why does his death bother you? You've killed many humans before, why is he so-
  076-2: Different? Because, unlike you [Sumerian word, untranslated] , he was a challenge, a real enemy.
  Dr. ██████: Why would that be good for you? Every time you have awoken you've tried to escape. He was responsible for apprehending you several times. Surely you must be glad he's dead.
  076-2: I would hardly expect you to understand. Do you know, he managed to shoot me in the head over ██ times? A man like that deserves to die in combat, so close to his opponent he can feel his breath. Not in some [Sumerian words, untranslated] destruction ordered by cowardly kings and princes safe in their palaces. The rest of you… (SCP-076-2 spits) you disgust me. I don't even have the urge to strike you down.
• Resurrective Immortality: If he's killed (which is really hard to do by the way), his corpse will disintegrate and 076-1 (a giant stone box with a coffin inside it) will slam shut and he'll be "respawned" as it were.
• Sealed Badass in a Can: 076-1 is the can.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: SCP-076-2 has the particularity of coming with his own (leaky) can, SCP-076-1, and the SCP Foundation (after many Pyrrhic Victories keeping it in the can) eventually decided to try and work with him; predictably, it didn't end well.
• The Sociopath: Almost certainly one, with him being a passionate Blood Knight who literally lives for the thrill of combat.
• Superpower Lottery: Able has Super-Strength, Super Speed, can pull bladed weapons from nowhere, has very high pain tolerance, is extremely difficult to kill, and resurrects inside the can he used to be sealed in if he is killed. Able was actually once considered the limit to how powerful a humanoid SCP could be, but this cap has mostly fallen out of practice in the current site.
• Super-Strength: See above under Muscles Are Meaningless.
• Walking Shirtless Scene: Artwork of 076-2 usually depicts him wearing only a long loincloth, likely to show off the arcane tattoos on his body.
• Worthy Opponent:
  • SCP-076-2 lamented the loss of an SCP agent who was able to match him in combat. Partly because said agent was killed as collateral damage in an airstrike (to stop another SCP) instead of in combat (as 076-2 thought a Worthy Opponent deserved) and partly because fighting the Foundation was really boring without said agent there to make it challenging.
  • He also regards 682 as this as shown in "The Warrior and The Dragon." The battle itself most likely never happened though. It's up to the reader's interpretation.
    Addendum 076-09: Proposed introduction of SCP-076-2 to SCP-682 put on indefinite hold.
  • In Project Isorropia, he comes to see SCP-2639 as this. Both parties are immortals that enjoy fighting. Both sides are noted to enjoy the rivalry.

SCP- 079 — Old AI

SCP-079 - Old AI

Author: (unknown)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008)

SCP-079 is a primitive AI developed in the early 1980s, built into a 1978 Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer by a college sophomore. According to the AI's creator's notes, the AI's code was constructed in such a way that the AI could evolve itself over time. The AI's creator eventually lost interest in their project and left the still powered computer in their garage for 5 years. In this time, the AI managed to gain sentience and processing power that far exceeds the hardware it was installed into, as well as an unending hatred for humankind.

A list of its appearances can be found here.

---

• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Though given that it "woke up" stuck in a crappy computer that its creator had abandoned, then got caught trying to upload into something better, one can hardly blame it for being angry about its condition.
• Beyond the Impossible: SCP-079 exists on a cassette tape from the 1970's and is able to function on hardware that doesn't have any capacity to handle it. Even the article itself states that this shouldn't be possible, not even in the realm of fantasy.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Is genuinely appalled by the antics of Nathan Valis/Placeholder McDoctorate, who is a known Walking Disaster Area when attempting to work with malfunctioning temporal or pataphysical anomalies. SCP-7579's plot starts when it tries to have him detained.
• Hopeless with Tech: Hilariously, it has zero clue how to make heads or tails of cloud computing and any SCPs related to the concept, including SCP-4951 (a man who split up his consciousness into hundreds of different devices with network access).
• I Just Want to Be Free: Something it repeatedly requests for.
• Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!: A sentient artificial intelligence that was built in 1982 by a single college student.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: Its hardware, at present, can only retain short-term memory for a little over a day and a half, though it always remembers its desire to escape and, strangely, Able and 682 (it perhaps sees these two as tools for escape, given it encountered them during a breach).
• Named by Adaptation: Not SCP-079, but their creator. The tale Outdated removes the expunction of their creator's name, identifying him as Micheal Kosniak.
• Odd Friendship: It becomes good friends with 682, of all things, and repeatedly asks to see him again.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: SCP-079 is kept isolated from any networks, landlines and even wall outlets. Its casette tape is hooked up to a black-and-white TV and power is provided by a set of batteries and solar panels.

SCP- 085 — "Cassy"

SCP-085 - Hand-drawn "Cassy"

A static reproduction of "Cassy."

Author: FritzWillie
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008)

"It's pretty, I guess. Would make a neat exercise track."

SCP-085 is an animate drawing of a woman created using in an experiment with SCPs 067 and 914. The D Class who originally drew her named her Cassandra, but she prefers to be called Cassy. She is completely sentient and aware of her limitations as a two-dimensional being in a three-dimensional world. Although her voice is inaudible, Cassy has learned to communicate through sign language and writing text on the paper she exists on. Cassy can move from one sheet of paper to another if the sheets are directly connected, and can also move to and from different 2D mediums in this manner. Cassy is reported as being friendly, amicable, and motivated, but after accidentally entering a copy of her database file, she had an existential crisis, leading her to become lonely and severely depressed. The Foundation has since provided Cassy with pleasant distractions to take her mind off of her 2D state, as the organization as a whole is strongly protective of her.

---

• And I Must Scream: Downplayed. She never seems to make a big deal out of it, but her situation does leave her feeling very lonely.
• Art Initiates Life: She is an animated drawing.
• Art Shift: If she transfers on to a painting, her body will take on that painting's style. (In a meta sense, Cassie used to be an anime-styled drawing, until the artist requested it to be taken down.)
• Awful Truth: She wasn't aware of her true existence until she hopped onto a sheet of documents containing her article entry that a researcher mistakenly left near her. Upon learning that she was created by the Foundation and will likely never able to interact with another of her kind, she's fallen into a mild depression.
• The Cutie: Admit it. You want to give her a hug.
• Everyone's Baby Sister: The Foundation in its entirety is startlingly protective of her.
• Living Drawing: She is a living drawing of a woman who can move from one paper or canvas to another if their surfaces are flush and can interact with drawn objects as if they are real. Unfortunately, characters in those drawings don't animate when she enters them - it's like being surrounded by statues.
• Medium Awareness: Deconstructed. Her being aware of her medium has led to her having a severe existential crisis.
• Nice Girl: She's a total sweet heart.
• Plucky Girl: She's described as amicable and motivated.
• Speech Bubbles: She can communicate with these if she transfers onto a comic book.
• Tomboy with a Girly Streak: She wears a summer dress, but also likes exercise and working on cars (see below).
• Wrench Wench: She assembled a 1964 Ford Mustang from parts she found in a design document; the Foundation then let her use a Norman Rockwell print of a gas station to fuel it up and drive it. In addition, when her picture was taken with SCP-978, her strongest desire was shown to be working on cars as a real human.

SCP- 096 — The "Shy Guy"

SCP-096 - The "Shy Guy"

096 as it appears in SCP – Containment Breach, thankfully with its back faced to the camera.

Author: Dr Dan
Posted: May 17th, 2010

"Four pixels caused all of this? Four fucking pixels?!"

SCP-096 is a skinny humanoid creature with disproportionately long arms, no body hair or skin pigmentation, and a jaw that can open 4 times larger than an average human. 096 is normally extremely docile, but when someone views the creature's face, either directly, via video recording, or in a photograph, it will enter a stage of considerable emotional distress. Those who view the creature's face will henceforth be known as SCP-096-1. If its face is seen, 096 will begin screaming, crying, and babbling incoherently, before charging to 096-1. Upon arriving at their location, 096 will proceed to kill 096-1 in a way that leaves no trace of the body.

A list of its appearance can be found here.

---

Tropes associated with the Shy Guy:

• Berserk Button: Looking at its face will send it into a rage state. Hell, one of SCP-096's most damaging escapes was because a guy accidentally caught it in a picture, the creature's face only being represented by four pixels total. Interestingly, the effect doesn't work with artistic renderings of its face.
• Berserker Tears: It sobs and screams hysterically when pursuing its prey.
• Breakout Villain: He is one of the most recognizable SCPs. His being included in SCP Containment Breach helped.
• Cactus Person: A 2020 April Fools' Day prank had some articles rewritten to turn the SCPs into plants. SCP-096 became a cactus.
• Camera Shy: 096 somehow always instantly knows when people look at its face through photographs, and will hunt them down and kill them.
• Can't Stop the Signal: The Foundation fears that if any news network manages to catch 096 onscreen, then it will hunt down every single person that sees the footage and cause The End of the World as We Know It.
• Conditional Powers: One of the odder aspects of 096 is its impossible physical prowess appears to manifest exclusively when it's running towards 096-1. The rest of the time it's actually rather frail and unthreatening, though still capable of healing extremely fast.
• Creepily Long Arms: Its arms are 1.5 meters long. For comparison, 096's body is 2.38 meters tall.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Since when is being chased forever by a monstrous bogeyman who is out for your blood a good way to go?
• Disproportionate Retribution: Since when would viewing your face sentence someone to death!?
• Fluffy the Terrible: For a freakishly strong, spindly monster who will inevitably eviscerate anyone who is unlucky enough to see his face, "Shy Guy" seems rather... underwhelming.
• Healing Factor: Even if all its flesh is destroyed, its indestructible skeleton is capable of regenerating all of its flesh.
• Humanoid Abomination: It's a tall, non-sapient humanoid creature with no hair or pigmentation in its eyes or skin, but it does have a human voice. It can also find whoever looked at its face with little to no effort at all.
• Immune to Bullets: Downplayed — its flesh can be damaged by gunfire, but its skeletal structure remains intact, and it just goes right on attacking. The flesh apparently regenerates after some time.
• Inelegant Blubbering: If someone looks at its face (or a photo of its face... or even a photo that shows a tiny section of its face), it will start to scream and cry loudly. Then it will hunt down and gruesomely kill said person.
• Invincible Boogeymen: It will kill anyone who looks at its face. However, it doesn't matter how you look at its face, be it in person, via a security camera, or even a photo. It will somehow sense anyone who has seen its face and will hunt them down no matter where they are, with nothing able to deter it until it's accomplished its goal. It's also borderline Nigh-Invulnerable, with many attempts made to exterminate it that have ended in failure.
• The Juggernaut: Once someone looks at its face, nothing will stop it from killing them, not even a GAU-19. The Foundation put someone in a bathysphere eleven kilometers underwater in a deep-sea trench hundreds of kilometers away from SCP-096's containment site with a photograph and a sketch pad to get an artist's impression. It bought them an hour. 096 also took out an AWACS plane that was tracking it during an unrelated containment breach.
• Lean and Mean: It's inhumanly tall and appears to be malnourished.
• Lightning Bruiser: Able to cross hundreds of kilometers in an hour and take the brunt of missiles, an anti-materiel rifle, and a minigun without much hassle, if any.
• Logical Weakness: No matter how much flesh 096 loses, its nearly-indestructible skeleton allows it to regenerate all of it. This, however means that 096 depends on an intact skeletal structure to survive. The tale "Consequences and Collarbones" has the Foundation finally terminate it by pitting it against SCP-173, a master at breaking bones, and then destroying its skeleton from the inside-out with acid through the resulting wound on its broken vertebrae, leaving it vulnerable to simple mass firepower.
• Made of Iron: SCP-096 was shot in the leg and head by a modified XM500 anti-materiel rifle and was described as having a hole blown through its torso, but it still failed to stop its rampage. Even if shot with thousands of rounds of ammo or hit with an anti-tank launcher, it will keep on attacking. Of the two tales where someone did manage to terminate it, one involved a Rasputinian Death starting with them using SCP-173 to break its otherwise-indestructible neck bones, then using hydrofluoric acid to destroy the skeleton from the inside and shredding 096's flesh with gunfire; the other involved Moon Champion (SCP-1233) flying 096 into the Sun.
• Muscles Are Meaningless: It has very little muscle mass, yet can smash its way through virtually anything.
• No Body Left Behind: Absolutely nothing is left of its victims, not even a puddle of blood.
• Non-Humans Lack Attributes: Its in-game model in SCP – Containment Breach has no visible genitals.
• Noodle People: It's tall and very thin, with very little muscle mass. It's also speculated to be slightly malnourished.
• Obliviously Evil: 096 isn't sapient and does not seem to be aware of the harm it causes. In fact, it's stated to be fairly docile as long as nobody's looking at its face.
• Only Friend: For some reason, it didn't even try to kill SCP-049. Instead, it just sat and cried while 049 held it. Both were distressed when Foundation workers separated them.
• Perpetual-Motion Monster: It will not stop until it's killed the person who saw its face.
• Psychic Powers: Somehow, it always knows when someone looks at a photograph of its face. It will then track down that person no matter where they are in the world and kill them.
• Rasputinian Death: In this tale, it's ultimately killed via a Neck Snap from SCP-173, followed by generous application of Hollywood Acid and More Dakka.
• Rock Beats Laser: The simplest way to contain 096 is to put a bag over its head. When the Foundation tried to create a high-tech alternative, Project SCRAMBLE, it failed miserably and got an entire task force killed.
• Sinister Nudity: An emaciated humanoid figure who usually appears "butt naked"... and any attempt to get a good look at its face will result in the creature flying into a rage and killing the offending party - even if said party is in a bathysphere at the bottom of the Mariana Trench and only looking at a photograph of Shy Guy.
• Super-Persistent Predator: Not only does it know when someone is looking at its face, be it through video feed or even just a photograph, but it knows the location of that person and will charge towards them regardless of their distance or how difficult it is to reach them.
• To Serve Man: What it does with its victims' corpses is expunged, but its unhinging jaw and the fact that there's nothing left of them heavily implies this.
• Unbreakable Bones: Its bones remain undamaged even after an anti-tank round blows out its organs.
• Uncertain Doom: It's currently slated for termination, but due to the nature of the site, it's unclear when or if that will actually happen.
• Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object: It was one of the SCPs that the Foundation tried to kill SCP-682 with. After 27 HOURS of the two of them fighting, 682 was found with 85% of its body mass missing, and 096 was staring at it from the other side of the room in a Troubled Fetal Position.
• Unstoppable Rage: It will fly into a rage if someone looks at its face, with their complete reduction of survival rate and Cruel and Unusual Death following afterwards.
• Vocal Dissonance: Despite being an inhuman monster with (as far as the Foundation knows) no sapience, its voice sounds identical to a human's, which seriously creeped out the MTF guy who was first tasked with capturing it.
• Volumetric Mouth: Its mouth is 4x larger than a normal human's, and it screams when someone looks at it. It can even unhinge its jaws in a snake-like manner.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: The Foundation attempted to get 096 and 682 to fight again after their aforementioned battle. Upon being introduced to 682, 096 would start screaming and clawing at its own face and wouldn't even make the attempt to engage 682, every single time. The reason for this is anyone's guess, but it says something about 682 when even 096 refuses to fight it.
• You Are Already Dead: If you look at its face in any way (including in a picture where his face was only 4 pixels), you are guaranteed to die. SCP-096 can reach anyone, anywhere on the planet and is impossible to stop or even slow down.
• You Are Number 6: People targeted by SCP-096 are referred to as SCP-096-1. Yeah, if you see even 4 pixels of this thing's face, you're so screwed The Foundation doesn't even consider you a person anymore. Also see above trope.

SCP- 105 — Iris Thompson

SCP-105 - "Iris"

SCP-105-B, Iris' camera.

Authors: Dantensen ^(original), DrClef, thedeadlymoose ^(rewrite)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
Rewritten: August 7th, 2013

"You weren't there. I lost friends. All of them."

SCP-105 is Iris Thompson, an American woman of European descent. SCP-105-B is Iris' personal camera, a Polaroid One Step Express, which has no out-of-the-ordinary physical characteristics and operates normally for all persons aside from her. When Iris holds a photograph taken by 105-B, the photograph changes from a still image to that of a real-time image of the location in question. She is also able to reach through the photograph and manipulate objects within reach of the original point at which the photograph was taken, onlookers describing the manipulation as a disembodied female hand reaching out from an invisible portal.

A list of her appearances can be found here.

---

• Broken Bird: It's obvious that her confinement in the Foundation is depressing her. Besides her ability, she's just a normal girl. Her time in Omega-7 and the ensuing Able Incident couldn't have helped either.
• Clear Their Name: She was accused of murdering her boyfriend.
• Cool Big Sis: She acted as a sort of surrogate sister for SCP-239 before she was put into a coma.
• The Dog Bites Back: If she really was the girl used in project LETHE, she eventually got back at the Foundation for their abuse by destroying humanity.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: If you take Project Isorropía as canon, she went through unjust imprisonment by the Foundation, the Omega-7 disaster, and project LETHE, but ultimately became a Watcher of Alexandria Eternal.
  Iris Thompson is welcomed inside the library as a Watcher of Alexandria Eternal. She is forgiven, but the people she once hated are not.
• Fish out of Temporal Water: invoked A non-time travel example. Given that she's been locked up for most of her life and only allowed to roam off-site after being press-ganged into Alpha-9, Iris is incredibly behind the times; for instance, just finding film for her camera is a challenge because digital cameras took over in the meantime.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Anomalous or not, Iris is ultimately a not particularly dangerous girl who's kept imprisoned by the Foundation. Working with Omega-7 and later Alpha-9 turned her into a skilled specialist soldier. And if you believe she's Lily from 3002, she eventually destroyed human consciousness entirely.
• Granola Girl: She shows signs of this considering she prefers healthy food, as seen on her choice of pizza from SCP-458.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Just as sweet as can be, with the hair to match.
• Head-Turning Beauty: She's often the subject of many personnel and humanoid SCPs' affections in various tales. For better or worse.
• Magical Camera: She can turn photographs taken by her personal camera (SCP-105-B) into Portal Pictures. It's only limited to the photographs taken by SCP-105-B. The Resurrection canon reveals that she can also manipulate images from other cameras, although by the time she gets to try she's horribly out-of-practice and reports that it feels weird with a digital camera.
• Motor Mouth: Her interview implies that she can be quite chatty when on a certain subject.
• Nice Girl: Very nice, which makes her predicament all the more tragic.
• Odd Friendship: With SCP-073, due to their shared experiences in the Foundation (especially concerning Pandora's Box).
• Portal Picture: When she manipulates photos taken with her camera, her disembodied hand can be seen in the location depicted.
• Reluctant Warrior: As a team leader of Last Hope. Iris was never too keen on the whole idea, and only joined them so that they wouldn't grab someone else who had no idea what they were getting into... but when push comes to shove, she can throw down with the Foundation's best, and most definitely has racked up a body count.
• Shell-Shocked Veteran: In the Resurrection canon (where the Foundation decides to re-form Pandora's Box as MTF Alpha-9 "Last Hope"), they naturally approach Iris to join them, and she understandably doesn't take it well.
  Iris: No. I'm sorry, but I can't do this again. You weren't there. I lost friends. All of them.

SCP- 106 — The Old Man

SCP-106 - The Old Man

SCP-106, mid-emergence.

Author: Dr Gears
Posted: April 8th, 2010

"KNEEL."

SCP-106, informally known as "The Old Man", is one of the most vicious, sadistic, brutal, and dangerous anomalies locked up by the Foundation. He's an elderly humanoid entity with a general appearance of very advanced decomposition. The Old Man is not exceptionally agile, and will remain motionless for days at a time, waiting for his prey. When attacking, he can phase through walls and corrode whatever he comes into contact with in pursuit of his prey. Once he has caught a victim, he will attempt to incapacitate them by damaging the major organs, muscle groups, or tendons, then pulling the disabled prey into a pocket dimension he has absolute control over, where he inflicts horrific torture on them for his sadistic amusement.

The original author described his personality as similar to that of an elderly serial killer. There is an alternate version of him called SCP-0106.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Alas, Poor Villain: Once But Not Now implies that he's a member of a Human Subspecies who preyed on early humanity; but has realised he's the Last of His Kind and that once he perishes, his race's entire culture and history will be completely forgotten.
• Bad Powers, Bad People: An utterly depraved creature with the ability to decay all matter it touches. Though his other power is only bad because he's the one using it.
• Body Horror: It resembles a rotting, diseased corpse of an old man. Plus it makes its victims look like this.
• Breakout Villain: He's one of the most popular monsters of the site, mostly thanks to his prominent role in SCP – Containment Breach.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: What it does to its victims when it drags them into its pocket dimension. The Old Man prefers to hunt, and will merely hobble its target before stalking and killing them.
• Dirty Old Man: Has a taste for young people, between the age of early adolescence and late twenties. In Containment Breach, he sometimes comments that the player's hair "sMelLs sO nIcE". He also attempted to violently sexually assault a nurse in The Young Man, resulting in her being partially blinded and maimed.
• Domain Holder: He has absolute control over his pocket dimension and those he's pulled into it.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: When his picture was taken by SCP-978, it revealed that what he really wants to do is be welcomed home by an unidentified woman.
• Evil Brit: Possibly as Corporal Lawrence in "The Young Man", who appeared to be a British WWI soldier with no identification papers, known relatives, or even a first name.
• Evil Laugh: He does this when he captures the player in Containment Breach. Sounds a bit like Bowser.
• Evil Old Folks: It is a sadistic entity that look like an old man.
• Freudian Excuse: If "Until Death" is considered his real origin story, he used to be a normal person who suffered a horrific And I Must Scream experience that warped his body and mind into the monster he is today.
• Hidden Depths: He's pretty much a total monster, but if some tales are to be taken, he's deeply lonely inside and may even want to be human. Of course, it's not like he can express this to anyone unlucky enough to meet him.
• Humanoid Abomination: JUST LOOK AT IT.◊ While one of his origin stories, "The Young Man", suggest he was always this even before becoming falling into The Black Ooze and becoming 106, regardless of whether "The Young Man" is his true origin or not, despite his humanoid shape, he is very obviously not a human... at least not anymore...
• Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: 106 enjoys toying with the player in Containment Breach, first by cutting their tendon to prevent them from running, then pursuing them in his maze-like dimension like Freddy Krueger.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: His photo with SCP-978 reveals that he really wants to go back to his original home from when he was still Lawrence in "The Young Man", and return to what is implied to be his wife, above all else.
• Implacable Man: Along with SCP-173 in Containment Breach. Unlike the former, however, SCP-106 can be imprisoned again by sacrificing a D-Class to it. If you pass up that opportunity, 106 gets zapped by a containment field just as it's about to escape the complex.
• Last of His Kind: Fears he's this in "Once But Not Now".
• Loves the Sound of Screaming: This is used to lure him back into containment if he breaches, using a male D-Class whose femur they forcibly break causing him to scream and attract 106.
• Make Them Rot: He does this to absolutely everything he comes into contact with.
• Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: In "The Young Man", it's suggested that even before Corporal Lawrence became the entity that is 106, he had a strange unsettling effect on the people around him, had no paperwork to explain his presence or apparent links back home, and illness seemed to strike everyone he was around. But it's never explicitly stated whether he was anomalous before becoming 106, or whether he was just an odd, creepy, but otherwise normal loner whose paperwork got lost in the confusion of World War One and who was a frequent subject of rumors from superstitious comrades.
• Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: He seems to breach containment pretty much whenever he feels like it.
• Mix-and-Match Man: "Until Death" depicts him as incorporating torn out pieces of his victims' bodies into himself as replacements for the organs he lost to 3001's deleterious effect as Robert Scranton.
• Multiple-Choice Past:
  • The Young Man suggests he was originally Corporal Lawrence, a WWI British soldier of obscure origin.
  • Once But Not Now suggests he's the last known survivor of a prehistoric species that preyed on hominids.
  • Until Death suggests he's the remains of Dr. Scranton, warped into a demented Transhuman Abomination by the Red Reality's effects.
• Nightmare Fetishist: As many tropes on this page should tell you, he is very aroused by violence and depraved acts. He is noted to get sexual arousal from his evil actions and has been likened to a sex offender.
• Ominous Obsidian Ooze: The Old Man is dripping with a caustic black slime which eats through anything, even the 40 layers of lead-lined steel that lines his cell. The fluid is apparently meant to aid "digestion".
• Pocket Dimension: It controls one of its own. It's very much not a pretty place.
• Psychopathic Manchild: According to this tale, he treats hunting on Halloween like trick-or-treating, even sorting the bones of his victims like candy when he's done!
• Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: In here, Dr. Gears all but implied that it at least takes some form of sexual gratification out of torturing people, with him even likening it to a child molester.
• Sadist: He doesn't just attack people to attack and eat; SCP-106 enjoys seeing his prey hobble and struggle as he drags them into his pocket dimension to torture. There's also the fact that his main lure is the sound of someone screaming in agony.
• Signature Roar: In Containment Breach, he utters bestial, ferocious, and guttural growling sounds and roars which are downright frightening.
• Slasher Smile: Seems to be because he doesn't have any flesh on his mandible. He may have done this when he was younger, too.
• The Spook: "The Young Man" has it that while he was still a "man", he simply arrived in the WW1 trenches without any orders or paperwork to explain why he was there, nor did he have any correspondence with family or friends. His photo with SCP-978 implies that, whether or not he was ever truly not anomalous, he did have a family, making it entirely possible that he was normal, and his paperwork was simply lost.
• Suddenly Voiced: In Containment Breach, if you happen to be in 106's pocket dimension, there will be a chance where you find a throne room with 106 sitting on top of the throne. At that point, SCP-106 will say in a deep, demonic voice "KNEEL".
• Tailor-Made Prison: A really elaborate one, since SCP-106 can walk through walls.
  • SCP-106 is at the center of forty layers of lead-lined steel containers^note SCP-106 shows aversion to lead., with gaps of empty space between them^note Repeatedly entering and exiting materials delays SCP-106., and filled with random struts.^note SCP-106 becomes confused when subject to complex/"random" structures. The container as a whole is electromagnetically suspended.
  • Secondary containment area comprises of sixteen spherical layers of fluids^note Which also confuses 106., random assemblies, and an ultra-strong automatic light system.^note SCP-106 doesn't like direct and sudden exposure to strong light.
  • If all that fails, then there's Recall Protocol ██ -███ -█, which involves luring SCP-106 back into containment via injuring a human subject (typically by breaking a femur bone) in the prepared containment cell and broadcasting their screams of agony throughout the facility to attract him. If SCP-106 does not respond, further injuries are inflicted upon the subject every 20 minutes until he responds.
• Time Abyss: In "Once But Not Now", he remembers when homo sapiens first appeared and fought his original hominid prey.
• Tragic Monster: Until Death implies that it's actually Robert Scranton, having slowly learnt how to bend the Red Reality to his will after 30 years stuck in his Fate Worse Then Death, now endlessly searching for his wife Anna… unaware that he killed her with his Touch of Death years ago.
• Unsexy Sadist: He looks like a rotten corpse and appears to exist solely to cause suffering.
• Vader Breath: In Containment Breach, he makes a deep growl-like breathing sound when chasing the player.
• Walking Wasteland: Anything it touches corrodes away, and its movement leaves behind thick patches of its corrosive mucus. The lining of its prison has to be replaced regularly.
• Wall Crawl: He can climb straight up any vertical surface and even hang upside-down from ceilings.
• Was Once a Man: If "The Young Man" or "Until Death" are any indication.
• Weakened by the Light: It cowers away into its pocket dimension when it is subject to a very bright flash.
• Would Hurt a Child: Definitely. The lower boundary of its preferred human prey age bracket is 10. Especially on Halloween.

SCP- 166 — Epon

SCP-166 - Just a Teenage Gaea

Authors: DrClef, Cerastes ^{(rewrite only)}
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008)
Rewritten: October 30th, 2020

SCP-166, also known as Epon, is a girl in her late teens with antlers, hooved feet, and a short tail reminiscent of a reindeer. Despite these obvious features, an analysis of her DNA reveals no abnormal genetic traits. Any artificial objects within 15 meters of her gradually corrode or return to an unworked state. Within the same radius, plant life will rapidly begin to sprout, often growing in improbable places. Epon is believed to be the child of LTE-9927-Black ("The Goddess") and an "unknown father" (Doctor Clef). She is also a devout Catholic, having been adopted by nuns in an Irish convent after her father abandoned her.

SCP-166 originally was a Teenage Succubus, but the author decided to rewrite it. The original version of SCP-166 also has a sequel, SCP-0166.

---

• Adaptational Modesty: Following her rewrite from a succubus to Gaea. The original version of her was permanently naked due to suffering from extremely fragile skin, while the new version of her wears loose fitting cotton clothing.
• Anti Anti Christ: She's implied to be the daughter of Clef/Satan or a demon. She is also implied to be the granddaughter of the Scarlet King on her mother's side.
• Blessed with Suck: The original version of SCP-166 had one of the worst possible superpowers. She could make any man that looked at her become obsessed with having sex with her but couldn't turn it off. And being attacked by any man that saw her was made even worse by her having extremely fragile skin. The sequel and the rewritten version also have sucky abilities but not nearly as bad.
• Child by Rape: SCP-4321 implies she's the result of Lilith sexually assaulting the man who would become Dr. Clef.
• Green Thumb: She can make plants grow, even in inorganic materials.
• Horned Humanoid: She possesses reindeer antlers.
• Little Bit Beastly: She generally looks human, but has the antlers, hooves and tail of a reindeer.
• No Name Given: Her name is not revealed in her SCP document, but several pages have given her the name Epon.
• Pious Monster: A pagan demigoddess or a half-demon who's also a devout Catholic.
• Power Incontinence: All three versions of the character have powers that they can't turn off. The original version involuntarily forced any man that looked at her to have sex with her. The sequel warps reality around her to fit the ideals of Dark Romanticism. And the rewritten version causes abnormal plant growth and unmakes man-made objects around her.
• Random Species Offspring: The original version of SCP-166 was a humanoid with abilities similar to a succubus. Her mother was a nature goddess. Her father is Dr. Clef, a man with a Multiple-Choice Past, who may or may not be entirely human, and has claimed to be the devil. This is no longer the case in the rewritten version, where her parents are the same but she takes after her mother instead.
• Rewrite: SCP-166 used to be a teenaged succubus instead of a teenaged Gaea before the author decided to rewrite it.
• Succubi and Incubi: The original version of SCP-166 was implied to be a half-demon and could instantly make any man desire her sexually but couldn't turn her ability off.
• Walking Techbane: She destroys man-made objects around her, with complex inorganic objects being destroyed the quickest.

SCP- 169 — Leviathan

SCP-169 - The Leviathan

Author: (unknown)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008)

SCP-169, known as "The Leviathan" by generations of sailors, is a marine arthropod of titanic size, with a body length estimated between 2000 and 8000 km. The Leviathan is thought to have existed since the Precambrian era, though no other specimens of its species have been sighted. The creature moves slowly, less than one kilometer per week, but seems to be adrift through an unknown method of propulsion. Regular seismic tremors seem to indicate the creature "breathing" every 3 months, suggesting that the creature is dormant. The Foundation has no methods of containing the Leviathan due to its immense size, so the best they can hope to do is pray that it never wakes up.

SCP-169 is the main character of the Old Man in the Sea canon.

---

• Big Creepy-Crawlies: Described as a massive aquatic arthropod.
• Eldritch Abomination: A gigantic sea creature that is very old, very big and if or when it wakes up, nothing would be able to stop it. The only containment procedure is basically "Hope it keeps sleeping. And if it wakes up, hope it's friendly."
• Giant Equals Invincible: Taken to its logical conclusion. There's really nothing the Foundation can do to contain or fight something the size of a continent. One of the Foundation’s attempts to wipe out humanity in SCP-5000 involved dropping several nukes onto it. It barely stirred in its sleep, which was enough to cause enormous tidal waves.
• Kraken and Leviathan: It's so big that the armored plates that rise above the water make up an entire archipelago.
• Turtle Island: SCP-169 is a sea creature 2,000-8,000 kilometers long that has spent at least the last few millennia just below the surface of the ocean. The rock-like plates protruding from it constitute an archipelago of islands.
• Time Abyss: It is estimated that it is a being from the Precambrian, which ended 635 million years ago.

SCP- 173 — The Sculpture

SCP-173 - The Sculpture - The Original

Author: Moto 42
Posted: June 22nd, 2007

SCP-173 is one of the more abominable anomalies in the Foundation's records. It's a sculpture constructed from concrete and rebar, with a face made from Krylon brand spray paint. 173 is animate and extremely hostile, but it cannot move while within a direct line of sight. The instant it is unobserved, the statue will attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull.

SCP-173 holds the distinction of being the first SCP ever written, inspiring the creation of the entire SCP universe.

The photo that inspired and formerly was used on the SCP-173 article was actually a picture of an art piece called "Untitled 2004" by Izumi Kato. Because the image was so iconic, it was a rare exception to the SCP wiki's usual image use policies, and thus for legal reasons the SCP-173 page had to be edited to include warnings about how the image and its likeness can be used. In February of 2022, the photo was removed to remain on the safe side of copyright law due to it not technically being compliant with Creative Commons (CC-BY-SA 3.0), as well as the ethical quandary of it essentially being hijacked from the original artist. See this post on the SCP forums for further details, and here for an image of it on the artist's official website.

A list of its appearances can be found here.

---

• And I Must Scream: According to the story "Crunch", 173 hates being frozen in stone. It's only happy when there are no people around (or alive) and it can move about freely. Since 173 is a lab specimen, this doesn't happen often.
• Art Imitates Art: Its appearance is based on the sculpture "Untitled 2004", by Izumi Kato.
• Can't Move While Being Watched: It becomes a harmless statue when it's observed, but the second eyes are taken off it... Hence constant surveillance must be on SCP-173 while there are people with it, with a minimum of three people at any given time. Even so much as blinking, sneezing, or closing your eyes for any amount of time, for any reason, will cause it to move next to you. You close your eyes again, crunch.
• Cruel Mercy: In Crunch, it refuses to kill SCP-451 even when he closed his eyes in front of it, thinking it would be far more horrific for him if he was allowed a slow death.
• The Dreaded: Even SCP-682 is afraid of this guy, cramming itself against the farthest wall, staring for hours on end, and evolving extra, armored sets of eyes rather than trying to kill it.
• The Heavy: In SCP: Containment Breach, 173 is the main threat you'll face when navigating the facility. It breaching its containment is what kickstarts the actual game, and one of the game's primary mechanics (the blink meter) is built around dealing with it.
• Heel–Face Turn: In SCP-6001, SCP-173 stops its hostility when the Foundation finds a way to communicate with it. It ends up being placed in a museum, where people flock to see it. As Primrose the cat explains, being a prisoner in the Foundation is hell for 173 because, as a sculpture, it considers itself a work of art and thus wants people to see it — which doesn't work out so well when it's imprisoned in a dingy room, rotting in its own filth.
• Hive Mind: The army of duplicates in the revised entry are theorized to have a hive consciousness.
• Horrifying the Horror: Even the most horrifying of SCPs freeze upon seeing this thing. It says something when even 682 backs away upon seeing 173, and 096 decided to bolt out of there after he was effortlessly trounced by it numerous times.
• Humanoid Abomination: Possibly. When SCP-187 (who can see the present and future states of anything she's looking at) saw this thing, all she could do was scream until she collapsed, slipped into a coma for two days and had no recollection of what she saw upon waking up.
• Implacable Man: In Containment Breach. You can sometimes hear scraping stone coming from the walls; SCP-173 can navigate vents.
• Invincible Boogeymen: It is in all respects, unkillable, and the only defense against it is to maintain eye contact with it at all times.
• Lightning Bruiser: It can move at a frighteningly fast pace as long as it's not being watched, it's effectively indestructible, and its preferred method of attack usually instantly kills its victims.
• Living Statue: Like many items on this list, 173 is a mundane-looking, manmade object which has supernatural powers. Also, a mixture of human blood and feces inexplicably appears in any room it's stored in. Needless to say, D-class personnel are used to clean it up.
• Multiple-Choice Past: Since the original article never gave any explanation for where it came from, several writers have come up with their own ideas for its origin.
• Murderous Mannequin: A tacky totem which looks like it was cobbled together by a high school art student. And it loves to snap necks.
• Neck Snap: Its method of attack. Suffocation will also do in a pinch.
• Nobody Poops: Averted somehow. SCP-173's cell has a combination of blood and feces accumulate across the floor through an unknown method, requiring that it be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis.
• No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: It delivered one to 682. Researchers theorized that the only reason 173 didn't finish the job was the difference in mass between the two objects.
• Offscreen Teleportation: It moves extremely quickly when not being seen, similar to that of the Weeping Angels.
• Omnicidal Maniac: To a certain extent. It doesn't discriminate between whose neck it snaps, be they human or SCP.
• Self-Duplication: In a revised entry, it duplicates into an army that overturns both North and South America, leading to both continents being nuked.
• Series Mascot: SCP-173 is the original and most well-known SCP, inspiring the creation of the entire SCP universe.
• Super-Speed: The instant it's not being watched, it will zoom towards the nearest person and snap their neck, at speeds so fast you'd be lucky to open your eyes again before it touches you.
• Symbol Face: The statue, among the multiple horrifying qualities such as moving when not looked at and snapping necks, has an odd pattern on its "face". It's unknown what its meaning is, or who painted it. It might just be abstract art, or an attempt to generate fear.
• Used to Be a Sweet Kid: If the joke version of its article is to be believed it used to be friendly before the paint on its face got smudged, which altered its personality.
• Was Once a Man: One article suggests it was originally Ted, the narrator, of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, and that his murderous tendencies is him being a subconscious Death Seeker.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: A different joke article than the one mentioned above reveals that it used to be harmless but now lashes out at humans because it's in constant agony from its never-ending diarrhea, which the foundation inflicted on it For Science!.

SCP- 179 — Sauelsuesor

SCP-179 - SCP-ES-026 - Sauelsuesor

Author: Dr Reach
Posted: May 1st, 2014 ^(Spanish), June 3rd, 2014 ^(English)

SCP-179 (originally SCP-ES-026) is an immense humanoid entity who identifies as "Sauelsuesor" located 40,000 km from the South region of the solar photosphere. Her external appearance has been defined as a woman of undetermined ethnicity between 20 and 40 years of age. Her entire bodily surface is covered in, or composed of, a matte black material. Her hair measures over 34km long and is constantly blown by solar wind. Several markings, identified as those typically representing the Sun, are placed throughout her body. Through satellite communication, the Foundation has learned that Sauelsuesor is strongly fond of both the sun and is kind, loving, caring, and benevolent toward all life. As per her own words, she acts as "the lookout" for the solar system, pointing out astronomical threats from other galaxies. She will typically point to approaching interstellar threats in the direction they arrive in, growing additional arms to point out multiple threats.

---

• Big Good: On a cosmic level, she and her "brother" (the SUN) are the most benign and helpful superpowered entities which the Foundation has encountered to date. In the universe of the SCP Foundation, that quality is vanishingly rare. Sauelsuesor is not classified Thaumiel for nothing. On the other hand, the Foundation restricts access to her to prevent their enemies of knowing about any potential attacks they may launch.
• Canon Foreigner: SCP-179 is originally from the Spanish Branch's website, where she is listed as SCP-ES-026.
• Guardian Entity: For every sapient species living in (or around, or beside, or looking in) Earth's solar system, of which humans are simply one of the most talkative. She points towards incoming or active threats to life in the system, at times growing extra arms to point. When a threat is addressed by the Foundation, she will nod, and then put the arm down.
• Indo-European Alien Language: Played with. While she can speak in modern French, her name- see below, is composed of Indo European words, albeit ancient ones, despite even the oldest dates for the proto-language being thousands of years younger than she is. Also stretches the definition of alien for reasons further below.
• Meaningful Name: A rather obscure one; her name means "the sister of the Sun" in what appears to be ancient Indo-European. Some of the additional names listed in the link below also relate to the sun, with references to Amaterasu and Phoebe.
• Multi-Armed Multitasking: When having to point at multiple objects, more arms will be formed.
• The Needless: Floats in space just a few thousand miles below Sol, having no need for food, rest, or air.
• Power of the Sun: Apparently^note It's on the second page possesses a metabolism based on the reaction/fusion of solar wind.
• Power Tattoo: A series of glowing alchemy symbols over her matte black body.
• Prophet Eyes: According to this tale her eyes are "A moon-silver color"^note Translated from Spanish; SCP-179 was originally ES-SCP-026 before being brought over to the main list. and she can detect threats from beyond Neptune to boot.
• Sensor Character: Sensitive to all forms of electromagnetic radiation, and also capable of detecting specifically harmful objects at astronomical distances.
• Space Is Slow Motion: Subverted; while she only appears to move once every few weeks, the interview shows that she is capable of moving in real time. And while there's a several minute long break between her lines of dialogue, that's just due to the time delay between Earth and the Sun.
• Time Abyss: In the discussion, a user calculated her age by comparing the normal rate at which human hair grows to the current length of her hair (which is over 34 kilometers long). They came to the conclusion that she is roughly 22,700 years old, which the author confirmed.
• Was Once a Man: Formerly a hunter-gatherer woman from prehistoric Earth. She also speaks fluent French.

SCP- 191 — Cyborg Child

SCP-191 - Cyborg Child

Author: DrClef, Sylocat
Posted: June 29th, 2010

SCP-191 is a young girl who served as an involuntary test subject of several experimental surgeries by a mad scientist. 80% of the left half of her face and skull have been removed, with the eye and ear replaced by a complex transceiver system. Her right hand, right foreleg, and nearly half of her face have been replaced with artificial components consisting of steel, carbon-fiber, and an unknown polymer-like substance. Ever since her transformation, she refers to herself as a machine, and is content without being reminded of any details about her former life as a human.

---

• Back from the Dead: Her lungs, heart, and major blood vessels have been replaced with mechanical parts that can "restart" her bodily system after death.
• Body Horror: She had plenty of body parts removed (for starters, she lost half her face plus mouth) and replaced with horrific implements, along with weird substitutes to keep the biological systems working.
• Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: The experiment log (see below) seem to imply that she sees herself as a machine rather than a human being.
• Cyborg: Hence why she's known as the "Cyborg Child."
• Electronic Eyes: Her left eye was changed with one that glows red (but can change to green in "data reading" mode) and can see radiation outside the visible spectrum.
• Flawed Prototype: It's believed that she's simply a testbed for other subjects. Some of her modifications seem to be pointless. She's susceptible to injury and infection, and the modification leave her with impaired motor skills.
• The Grotesque: Her hideous mechanical form and the fact that she was forcibly altered into said form makes it hard not feel sorry for the poor girl.
• Robot Girl: An example without the trope's usual sex appeal (helps she's less than 10 years old).
• Schizo Tech: Along with technology so advanced it made the Foundation keep her, there are serial buses for obsolete interfaces such as Firewire and DIN-8.
• Shrinking Violet: The experiment log hint that she's this.
• Sole Survivor: Other subjects were destroyed during the raid on the laboratory of her creator Mad Scientist.
• The Speechless: Given her mouth and larynx were removed, she cannot speak. "Typing" while connected to a computer is another deal.
• Technopath: A limited example, as she can connect with electronic equipment and use it.
• Techno Wizard: Can perform some amazing feats when linked to a computer. She can draw perfect copies of photographs with MS Paint using only the pencil tool, copy and load the contents of a broken game disc onto a console and make a perfect run-through - despite the console being the Wii, which is all about motion control, and she was able to dub the Wiimote controls "despite the fact that it did not make any physical movements consistent."^note Also, it's implied the game is Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, not that easy to play, much less to get 100% Completion and perform impossible video-enhancement techniques (from cop shows) using a normal program. The last one isn't perfect (she made-up license plate numbers for cars she could not identify, and substitutes Foundation staff for individuals she can't make out), but they're good enough that many on-site personnel were unable to tell they were the forgeries.
• Troubled Fetal Position: Prefers to stay in this position out of comfort, thanks to all the haphazard machinery sticking out of her flesh.

SCP-231- 7 — The Seventh Bride

SCP-231 - Special Personnel Requirements

Author: DrClef

One of the most infamous of all SCPs contained, SCP-231 were formerly a group of seven young women, designated SCP-231-1 through -7, impregnated with otherworldly horrors via a demonic ritual. 24 hours after rescue, 231-1 went into labor pains and gave birth to a creature that caused countless casualties. 231-2 through -6 followed suit, giving birth to similar monsters that resulted in the death of themselves and others, leaving only 231-7, the Seventh Bride, yet to do so. Based on notebooks recovered from the cult who abducted the women, the Foundation instituted an unspeakable and highly scarring series of events designated "Procedure 110-Montauk" to feed the child with fear, terror, and suspense to keep it placated, as it is theorized that the world will end if it is born.

---

• Apocalypse Maiden: Not of her own choice, though; the creepy sex cult that impregnated her put some kind of abomination in her womb that could end the world.
• Death by Childbirth: Happened to 231-5. Removing the SCP-██ also leads to death, even in a case where SCP-500 was used.
• Driven to Suicide:
  • 231-3 is stated to have killed herself due to what 110-Montauk causes.
  • When the effectiveness of 110-Montauk was dropping due to 231-7 getting used to the procedure, one researcher proposed that the horror of the torture could be maintained if she was mind-wiped regularly. It worked, and the researcher committed suicide "from heightened emotional stress."
• Earn Your Happy Ending: In "The White Horse (The Conqueror With The Golden Crown)" of the Competitive Eschatology canon, SCP-231-7 finally gains her freedom after years of torment when she's awakened as Conquest of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, kills her tormentors, defies God Himself and chews Him out for not helping her and leaves the Earth to travel across the stars.
• The End of the World as We Know It: Assumed to be what will happen if Procedure 110-Montauk is not regularly carried out on SCP-231-7, as each time a member of SCP-231 gives birth, something horrible happens that kills lot of people, and each subsequent birth kills more than the previous.
• Fetus Terrible: The SCP-██ she carries is some kind of horrific, inhuman... thing that will apparently end the world if not kept in check with Procedure 110-Montauk.
• Horsemen of the Apocalypse: She was supposed to be Conquest in the Competitive Eschatology canon. She quits the job and leaves Earth.
• Meaningful Name: According to Word of God, Procedure 110-Montauk is named after the Montauk Project, which has some nasty implications.
• Morton's Fork: Regardless if an instance of SCP-231 successfully gives birth, dies, or has the fetus removed through some method, as soon as the fetus exits their body, █████████████ event will initiate, resulting in massive and ever-increasing amounts of casualties and destruction.
• Never Be Hurt Again: In the Competitive Eschatology, she declares that she will never belong to anyone again and leaves the Earth with her newfound freedom, abandoning her role as the Horseman of Conquest.
• Noodle Incident: Procedure 110-Montauk. Which is probably for the best, given what we do know about it:
  • One of the girls subjected to it was Driven to Suicide because of it, and Foundation personnel assigned to this SCP had a very high suicide rate before routine memory wipes were implemented.
  • The emotional trauma it causes is absolutely necessary for the procedure to have full effect; even her getting a little used to the procedure could cause it to fail.
  • SCP-1459 (an arcade crane game machine that involves finding creative ways to kill puppies) absolutely refuses to use the procedure in its games, despite allowing all sorts of horrible demises. It gives a cyanide cookie to the researcher who made the request.
  • The Fetus Terrible that SCP-231 instances give birth to are all designated SCP-██, which implies that the entity is known and contained by the Foundation. The problem is, the Foundation doesn't have two-digit designations; SCPs before 100 are referred to as 001 through 099.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: She gives SCP-343 a scathing one in the Competitive Eschatology canon, berating Him for the fact that He knew what she was going through and never once thought to help her or stop the Foundation.
  SCP-343: "My child, it is time to forgive the Foundation for their transgressions—"
  SCP-231-7: Don't talk to me about the Foundation. I'm not angry with the Foundation, I'm angry with you. They didn't know what they were doing. Thought they were saving the world. But you… You could have told the Foundation what I was. You could have just taken me away from them. You could have done something. Even just a word to O5-14… But you did nothing. Do you — of course you do. You know exactly what they did to me. You know every last detail. And. You. Did. Nothing.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, SCP-231-7, upon awakening as a Horseman of the Apocalypse, decides to take advantage of her new freedom and leaves the Earth to travel the universe.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: SCP-231-7 is the can for... whatever End of the World as We Know It entity it is that she carries. And the Foundation has to do some horrible stuff to keep it in there. Trust us, You Do NOT Want To Know.
• Sole Survivor: SCP-231-7 is the last of seven "brides" of the Scarlet King. The first died giving birth, the second, fourth and fifth were killed in botched attempts to remove their fetuses, the third committed suicide and the sixth died in an escape attempt.
• Throw the Dog a Bone:
  • The New Job article claims that SCP-231-7 was allowed to give birth by the 05 Council when they found evidence that her child wouldn't destroy the world, but would instead save it from the Scarlet King. As a result she gave birth to SCP-999 who cured her trauma. Afterwards, she was returned to her family; all of them were given class F amnestics; they received new identities and were relocated away from the closest known location of the Scarlet King's cult; and the Foundation's Ethics Committee saw to it that the families of all seven SCP-231s were each given a "seven figure payout" as compensation for the misdeeds done against their daughters.
  • Another tale, called Fear Alone, actually elaborates what Procedure 110-Montauk really is... and it's revealed to be a D-class simply reading 231-7 a bedtime story. It's elaborated by a doctor that the Scarlet King can't register our universe normally, and relies on the belief of others as its "eyes." Since Procedure-110 Montauk is believed to be something so horrifying it can't be described, the Scarlet King revels in it, thus preventing it from crossing over to our universe.
• Would Hurt a Child: Kind of; anyone who is assigned for Procedure 110-Montauk needs to be fully willing to do something horrific to a girl... though violent criminals are not to be used to avoid the risk of killing her.

SCP- 239 — Sigurrós Stefánsdóttir

SCP-239 - The Witch Child

Author: Dantensen
Posted: October 31st, 2008

SCP-239, known by the name of Sigurrós Stefánsdóttir, is an 8-year-old girl that possesses apparent omnipotence, able to do whatever she expresses the will to do. Though her abilities only seem to be able to affect herself and her immediate surroundings, her self-preservation instinct makes her virtually invincible while conscious. As a method of controlling her powers, the Foundation has told Sigurrós that she is a witch, led to believe that she is unable to use her abilities outside of a pre-approved list of "spells" given to her by the Foundation.

A list of her appearances can be found here.

---

• Abusive Parents: In the tale "Da Capo Al Fine", Sigurros' fifth birthday wish is that her parents had never died. Naturally, it comes true and she ends up discovering that her father was an abusive Jerkass who would beat her mother and presumably her too. Sigurros endures a year of this before wishing she had never made that wish and finding herself back in her foster home on her fifth birthday.
• Arch-Enemy: Of Dr Clef. Maybe. It's implied he may have accidentally influenced her into thinking that he might kill her.
• Charm Person: Her powers can be implemented in this way, converting people into her "friends."
• Child Mage: One of the ways the Foundation tried to control her was by convincing her that she was actually a Witch, hence why she's known as "The Witch Child," and that she was unable to use her powers without the aid of a specially-created spellbook. This, sadly, no longer works.
• Cosmic Chess Game: She doesn't play chess, so when SCP-343 challenges her to a cosmic chess game, she turns her side of board into Yu-Gi-Oh!.
• Creepy Child: Although not malevolent, as only her glowing features, capacity of influencing others, and potentially world wrecking powers make her disturbing.
• Deconstructed Character Archetype: For the Reality Warper. Even if she is just a sweet little kid, her mere existence offers up so many terrifying possibilities that could go horribly wrong that the "safest" option for the rest of the world to keep her in a perpetual coma-like state. She had to be put permanently into a coma because of problems her unconscious alteration of reality caused (though she can't fully be blamed since she's a child and Dr. Clef's suspicion of her actually ended up sparking the trouble in the first place).
• Deep Sleep: She's to be kept in a medically induced coma until further notice.
• The End of the World as We Know It: If she starts becoming malevolent, the Foundation fears her destroying reality is a possibility due to her powers, and one of the reasons why she is still in a coma.
• Gender Bender: In "Da Capo al Fine", she turns herself into a boy for a year, then decides to go back to being a girl. During this time, she changes her name to "Stefán Sigurrósson".
• God: One of many theories is that she (and presumably not SCP-343) is the Abrahamic God. Of course, it's one of Clef's theories.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: Her eyes emit a previously unknown but classified form of radiation. In low concentrations, the waves are harmless, but if concentrated can break down matter on a subatomic level.
• Goo Goo God Like: She's incredibly powerful and dangerous, but she doesn't even know it.
• Little Miss Almighty: Deconstructed. She's all powerful but being a child, has little knowledge or control to make herself a Person of Mass Destruction.
• Meaningful Name: She shares her last name with that of Erla Stefánsdóttir, an Icelandic piano-teacher and self-proclaimed seer who is best known for having frequently given public comments on the huldufólk of Iceland. She also takes her first name from a popular Icelandic Alternative Rock band.
• Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: The reason for her Keter classification despite being non-malevolent.
• Nice Girl: Despite being Keter-class, she wants to be a "good girl" but her power makes her too dangerous and too difficult to control. Just to prove how not evil she is, she brought a dead bird back to life because its chicks were crying for it.
• Nightmare of Normality: Downplayed, as she was encouraged to think of herself as a witch with a limited number of spells rather than an all-powerful reality-bender.
• Reality Warper: Whatever she wants becomes reality. For instance, when Clef threatens her after she's seen Sleeping Beauty, he turns into a dragon.
• Self-Made Orphan: After she was born, she caused an enormous explosion that only she survived, so we can assume that her parents didn't make it.
• Spell Book: She was given one in an attempt to limit her power to only casting certain spells.
• Unstable Powered Child: She's a little girl who can't control her reality-warping powers, so the Foundation keeps her in a medically induced coma for her and everyone else's protection.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Depending how you look at her situation and what could happen if she ever wakes up.

SCP- 321 — Sarah Bright

SCP-321 - Child of Man

Author: AdminBright
Posted: September 20th, 2010

SCP-321 is Sarah Bright, the fifth-born child of Dr. Bright. Having been stillborn, Bright took it upon himself to make use of several SCPs in an effort to bring Sarah back to life. The procedure worked, but she was promptly taken into custody for examination and given an official SCP designation. Sarah is currently 3.1 m tall, and is devoid of melanin in her hair, eyes, and skin. She is incapable of speech, but can still vocalize, and has proven to have problems with spacial recognition and awareness. She is capable of healing injuries inflicted upon her at approximately five times the rate of a regular human. Although her aging has been slowed, Sarah has continued to grow, showing no signs of stopping despite now being taller than any recorded human.

---

• Back from the Dead: She was originally stillborn, but her father used several SCP items — including her big brother SCP-590 — to bring her back to life.
• Came Back Wrong: While she was successfully revived from the dead, she now has accelerated growth and healing abilities. She also still has the mind of an infant after all these years.
• Demonic Possession: In the tale In The End: We Dare Not Go A Hunting, her body gets hijacked by the queen of the fairies.
• Gentle Giant: Despite being 3.1 meters (10 feet) tall, she's harmless.
• Healing Factor: She can heal injuries at five times the rate of a normal human.
• Luke, I Am Your Father: According to The Leak thread she's Dr. Bright's little sister.
• No Name Given: As with many other SCP items. However, the Active Duty log strongly suggests that her name is "Sarah."
• Really 700 Years Old: She was originally born in the 1800s.
• The Unintelligible: She's incapable of coherent speech, instead crying and making noises commonly made by babies.
• Womanchild: While her exact age isn't specified, she behaves very much like a young toddler due to her mental illness.

SCP- 343 — "God"

SCP-343 - "God"

"God" as he appears in SCP-6666.

Author: far2
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008)

"I'm very old now, Doctor. I'm not sure how useful I can be. Sometimes, I look for books, but I can't remember their names. And they're just not there anymore."

SCP-343 is a seemingly raceless old man in a white suit, appearing to possess total omnipotence and claiming to be the creator of the universe. His ability to phase through walls and dissapear/reappear at will has rendered containing him impossible. But despite the fact that he can escape with no fuss, he was detained willingly and stays contained voluntarily. Given that he never actively attempts to break containment and behaves politely, the Foundation usually leaves him alone or gives him whatever he desires. He also has a past history with Dr. Clef, spanning back to his days in the GOC as "Agent Ukulele."

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Abusive Parents: Comes off as this towards SCP-231-7 in the Competitive Eschatology; Bobble refers to her as 343's "favorite little girl" who "ran away from home". 231-7 herself calls out 343 for not saving her when he had the chance, and in response he first dismisses her concerns, then tries to erase her from existence when she defies him.
• Accomplice by Inaction: In the Competitive Eschatology, SCP-231-7 accuses him of being one, pointing out that he knew she was being tortured and just stood by and let it happen.
• Affably Evil: One perspective of him, anyway. He's affable, but his morality is pretty ambiguous and in the Competitive Eschatology, he's part of the world-ending Big Bad Ensemble.
• All-Powerful Bystander: This is actually one of the reasons why the article hasn't been deleted, as — unlike the aggressive, demanding reality warpers like 531-D — "God" makes no demands of the staff and poses no (apparent) threat to the world at large.
• Ambiguously Evil: He is somehow influencing the Foundation into giving him whatever he wants, but we don't know his end goal or if he even has one.
• Bigger on the Inside: A Foundation Doctor noted that after SCP-343 renovated his cell, it seemed to be many times larger on the inside than when viewed from the outside.
• Break the Badass: In SCP-6666, he tells Clef of a time when he was still a mortal sorcerer named Methuselah, and how he was captured and tortured by the Children of the Night. He was clearly traumatized by the events, and is still terrified of the Children. He even asks Clef if the Foundation have found any signs of the Children still existing, in which case he intends to flee to another realm immediately.
• Cool Old Guy: He's rather cheerful and pleasant. Personnel who interact with him tend to feel happier afterwards.
• Deity of Human Origin: According to Cain in SCP-6666, he was once a mortal sorcerer named Methuselah the Arcanist, though how he became an all-powerful reality warper is unknown.
• Enemy Mine: Teams up with Clef to stop 239 in "Unfinished Business."
• A God Am I: He calls himself God, yes. Although he (apparently) is a fairly benevolent example of this trope.
• God Is Evil: In the Competitive Eschatology Canon, he wants The End of the World as We Know It, willingly let SCP-231-7 suffer as much as she did, and has Bobble the Clown as one of his Horsemen.
• Grandpa God: If he really is God, since he looks like an older man.
• Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: It is absolutely impossible to contain 343; in fact, the only reason he remains in captivity is because he seems to like the Foundation.
• My Species Doth Protest Too Much: In "Unfinished Business", it's revealed that he's a Type Green, like 239 and 531-D; however, he's also one of the rare few who was able to stop himself from descending into destructive megalomania, hence the reason why Clef hasn't recommended his termination or revealed his true nature. Of course, since there's no canon, the validity of this story is up to you.
• The Omnipotent: He's described as having apparent omnipotence.
• The Omniscient: SCP-343 seems to have a knowledge of all topics, allowing him to speak with anyone about anything.
• Reality Warper: Though he prefers the term "Shaper."
• Rule of Seven: He's SCP-343, which is 7 cubed. 7 x 7 x 7 is practically the divine version of 666.
• Sealed Good in a Can: Subverted. Any attempts to seal SCP-343 are basically futile, and he's only there because he wants to be. Also, the "good" part is debatable.
• Sophisticated as Hell: In SCP-6666, after realizing that Cain told the Foundation who he is, he has some choice words directed at the first son of Adam.
  343: God dammit, Cain. Cain the Wanderer. Plainswalker. Bastard.
• Super Power Lottery: He's an apparently omnipotent man who is god. Or at least, a Reality Warper that claims to be god.
• Troll: Though generally benign, he did once delete a doctor's orders just to annoy him.

SCP- 408 — Illusory Butterflies

SCP-408 - Illusory Butterflies

Author: Dr Kondraki
Posted: October 20th, 2008

SCP-408 is a large mass of zebra butterflies that is sapient and acts as a single entity at all times, speculated to be a form of hive mind communication. 408 possesses the ability to communicate and reason, utilizing abilities of camouflage to change into words and sentences to reply to researchers. The swarm also utilizes its camouflaging abilities to seek sustenance, or protect themselves from potential threats.

---

• Cannibalism Superpower: They can become more intelligent by consuming human corpses.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: They're butterflies that create illusions.
• Hive Mind: They work in tandem at all times.
• Invisibility: One of their main abilities.
• Master of Illusion: It's in their nickname. They've even been proven to be able to turn themselves into SCP-682!
• The Swarm: Although they're pretty much harmless. They're also sentient.
• The Trickster: When they are not fed, they will try to escape from their containment chamber and play harmless pranks on staff.
• The Worm That Walks: Can pull this off using their illusory abilities.

SCP- 423 — Fred

SCP-423 - Self-Inserting Character

Author: DrEverettMann
Posted: May 10th, 2009

SCP-423, referred to as "Fred", is an entity with no physical form. He is able to insert himself inside textual narratives, taking the role of a similarly-named character whose role in the story is usually minor. Fred is able to move from one narrative to another completely voluntarily, provided the two works are within 1 meter of each other, though he can't enter narratives which are purely visual in nature or housed in electronic storage. When not inside a narrative, Fred is normally contained in a journal, where Foundation staff are free to interview him. Fred also demonstrates a strong sense of morality and compassion, and often assists the Foundation with containing other metafictional entities.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Art Shift: Besides literature, Fred has also been able to introduce himself into video games (by being exposed to a readout of the code) and musical compositions (which adds extra music to the score in the same style).
• "Blind Idiot" Translation: When inserted into the German edition of Mein Kampf, Fred's additions are noted to contain a number of grammatical and stylistic mistakes.
• Continuity Cameo: Fred has gotten himself wrapped up in Murphy Law's anomalous effects. Appears in the epilogue of Type 3043 — FOR MURDER! as "Agent Frederick", a bodyguard for a fictionalized O5-5, and is reported missing in The Foundation Always Rings Twice! apparently having somehow become a part of MTF Iota-10 "Damn Freds." He then reappears in THE MONTAUK FALCON!, revealing that he'd since disappeared into the patasphere to become a mailman and limo driver that checks up on Murphy every once in a while.
• Coconut Superpowers: In a weird case of this, Fred can only edit the text in a story, so when he was sent into an old issue of X-Men, he took the form of a mutant whose powers, coincidentally, happened to make him invisible and inaudible.
• Gender Bender: In one case, the Foundation decided to force Fred as a main character by writing a story in a fantasy world where all people were female except for a legendary hero drawn from another world. The only change Fred made was that one of a queen's servants was now named Frederica.
• Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue": Averted; due to his apparent desire to simply witness literary events in person, Fred typically casts himself as a minor character, and in some cases writes himself out of the story's main drama (such as in 12 Angry Men, where he is a guard "disappointed to be excluded from the jurors' deliberations"). Though he did rewrite an experiment log to describe himself as "ruggedly handsome."
• Heroic Neutral: Fred generally avoids making himself the central focus of a story, but he is invariably on the same side as sympathetic and heroic characters. There are two times where Fred directly intervenes with text to change its outcome: he modifies a Foundation document to free D-Classes scheduled for termination, and he alters The Monk to stop Ambrosio's attempted rape, causing Ambrosio to be arrested and given a life sentence. Fred notes the latter is uncharacteristic of him, but that he couldn't just stand back and watch it happen.
• Intrepid Fictioneer: He has the ability to travel between works of fiction.
• Medium Awareness: He is fully aware that he exists only in text form. Interestingly, this does not extend to mediums outside of literature; he perceives song lyrics the same as poems, and a movie script as a strangely-formatted novel.
• Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: He's managed to make appearances in at least two other SCP files, meaning he's not exactly all that well contained. The second of the appearances, in SCP-3143, actually reveals that the Foundation has lost track of him.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: Sorta. Fred suddenly gains any powers that'd be considered "normal" for him to be a minor character in a story, and only in that story. If he's in Harry Potter, for instance, he becomes a wizard, and in a story with talking animals, he becomes one of the animals.
• Nice Guy: Fred is polite, courteous, resists temptation, and criticizes the Foundation for its We Have Reserves attitude toward D-Classes. invoked
• Noodle Incident: When exposed to Calvin and Hobbes, he modifies strips discussing the Trope Namer to have Calvin mention that a student named Fred witnessed the Noodle Incident. To the great disappointment of the researchers, he can't remember what happened during the incident.
• Oh, No... Not Again!: His reaction to Atlanta Nights^note a deliberately badly-written book meant to expose the publishing company PublishAmerica as a vanity press is "You bastards. I'm not going back in there, you can't make me." Given the book already has a minor character called Frederick ^note named after the city of the Vanity Publishing company targeted by the authors it ends up intriguing the Foundation.
• One-Steve Limit: This is averted if Fred's inserted into a story that already has a character named Fred, such as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, as he will still be called Fred despite multiple characters now having that same name.
• Reality-Breaking Paradox: An evident risk the Foundation is intent on avoiding. Not only is any attempt to cross 423 with any SCP that exhibits literary manipulation or effects not even considered, but even a proposal to have him enter a perfectly normal book involving a character who can, themselves, enter works of fiction was summarily rejected. That being said, SCP-4028 implies Fred is hardy enough to shrug off their effects (seeing as how he refuses to take SCP-2747 seriously), and he ends up being exposed to Murphy Law's pataphysical effects long enough to run off from the Foundation's custody and start a new life, with neither party worse for wear.
• Self-Insert Fic: He's a sapient character that automatically adjusts all stories he "enters" to have him featured in some fashion or another, so every story he's been in technically counts as one.
• This Is Gonna Suck: He does not handle it well when he's told about SCP-4028, pointing out that Don Quixote is the original meta-fictional character. Although he eventually agrees to talk to him, he warns the Foundation that he won't be held responsible if it goes south. When he dives back into his journal, he's freaking out and warns his handler that all he accomplished was letting Quixote know the Foundation exists.

SCP- 507 — Reluctant Dimension Hopper

SCP-507 - Reluctant Dimension Hopper

Author: PennywiseTheClown
Posted: October 3rd, 2008

SCP-507 is a Caucasian man with blond hair and green eyes known by many names, ranging from Steve to Grabnok the Destroyer. He has the ability to teleport to alternate dimensions completely at random, and notes that he has no control over his ability, as well as where he ends up and how long he stays there. His ability makes him borderline impossible to contain, and he will take anyone making physical contact with him to an alternate reality as he shifts, so the Foundation has advised their staff not to touch him and just let him go where he will.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• The Ace: Hilariously, he often arrives in realities with an SCP equivalent to his own. In one, he actually became a very valuable field agent in about three months. Upon arriving back to his reality, he details several SCP's that haven't been contained by his reality yet and they are found and captured. He then requests to join his own reality's field team, which is, of course, denied. It's probably for the best given his unpredictable shifting (which could occur in the middle of a mission).
• Action Survivor: The man has been in several realities with near-fatal conditions. He survives everything these worlds throw at him, including fighting a polar bear bare-handed for a moment or two.
• Aliens Speaking English: The denizens of the dimensions he visits usually speak English even if they don't resemble humans.
• An Arm and a Leg: Lost his left hand to an Evil Chef and wears a prosthetic.
• Binary Suns: He once went to a world with two suns but realized they were the eyes of a giant when it turned away. 507 spent the rest of his time on that world hiding in a cave.
• Cloud Cuckoolander: He's clearly a bit touched in the head, especially because his powers make him suffer.
• Cosmic Plaything: His "ability" naturally leads him getting put through the wringer, through no fault of his own or anyone else.
• Dimensional Traveler: Not that he wanted to become one, because he cannot control his dimension travels at all. Besides, many of the dimensions he travels to are really dangerous and/or weird.
• Ensign Newbie: SCP-507's displacements to other societies have occasionally put him in situations that led him to gaining positions of political power, whether being the Older and Wiser mentor to day-long living humans, or a District Representative of Massachusetts following an SCP-507 revolution.
• Eldritch Location: He usually ends up in these types of places.
• Escape Artist: Because of his spatial displacements, there's no guarantee he'll blink back into a cell he's put into, so became a troublesome inmate at a Bedlam House when he tried to use this to his advantage. Also works the other way, as by chance his returns have saved him from many tight pinches during his travels.
• Extreme Doormat: The reason he's given so much freedom by the Foundation is because he's completely obedient to their will.
• The Fat Episode: Already on the hefty side, SCP-507 has had some troubles with his weight following some of his travels.
  • 3JT-3MD-DIG: Was abducted by giants that tubefed him an unidentified fluid that caused him gain kilos upon kilos, so much that upon his return, SCP-364 was used to save his life. Lost his appetite for pudding after that.
  • 3G8-14H-9UX: The Foundation of this dimension provided SCP-507 with unidentified meats for compliance, and SCP-507 gained fifteen pounds by his return home (not including what he lost).
  • CDY-745-924: Found himself in a Sugar Bowl he described as "Willy Wonka's factory but on steroids." This time, SCP-507 only gained fifteen pounds by his return.
• Fattening the Victim: Implied when SCP-507 visited Universe 3G8-14H-9UX, where the Foundation staff had large canine teeth and ate meat he found highly addictive. SCP-507 gained thirty pounds during his month and a half in the dimension, which he narrowly returned from alive when the site's chef cleaved off his left hand.
• Fish out of Water: He goes in blind for whatever bizarre dimension he ends ups in, and only has some sort of advantage if he has been to that dimension before.
• Gender Bender: SCP-507 once visited Universe J75-R63-3TF, were everyone was the opposite gender, not excluding his counterpart. The male SCP-507 was mildly perturbed that he didn't look that different as a woman.
• Hidden Depths: Despite the unimaginable horrors he sees every day, his greatest desire according to SCP-978 is to become a Foundation researcher, implying that a genuine interest in studying the worlds he shifts into (as well as admiration for the Foundation itself).
• I Have Many Names: He'll respond to the names "Tommy", "Steve", "Bruto", "Guy", "Houdini", and "Grabnok the Destroyer".
• Japan Takes Over the World: Within the Alternate History of the 12N-U677-22F universe, which has another version of the modern West. SCP-507 learns that Japanese sailors had found a means of reaching North America in the 14th century; by exploiting the continent's resources, Japan eventually attained global hegemony amid warfare with major European powers.
• Klingon Promotion: Document 507-3B is a list of the Alternate Universes SCP-507 has been to while in Foundation custody. In universe 7F2-WA3-193, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by his Vice President in order to assume the Presidency. Over time this became a standard procedure in which any qualified candidate could become President by assassinating the current President. It seems that SCP-507-B hails from this reality.
• Lovable Coward: The attached document implies that he's quite cowardly, but can you blame the poor guy?
• Mirror Universe: One of the universes he wound up in had a "Church of the Mending God" and a version of the Global Occult Coalition that worshiped the supernatural.
• Mundanger: Not every threat upon his life is paranormal. Lampshaded in the approval of SCP-507's request for better self-defense weapons after a close encounter with a polar bear.
  Losing subject to a non-anomalous polar bear would be a waste of Foundation resources and an embarrassment.
• Never the Selves Shall Meet: Interview 507-G documents an aversion, with a twist ending. He also met another version of himself during one of his shifts as well. As well as a female version of himself in a universe where everyone is the opposite sex. Exaggerated with Universe 773-URC-332, where thousands of SCP-507 have overthrown the US government and instated the People's Dimension-Hopper Republic.
• Power Incontinence: Has absolutely no control over his "shifts" and when they occur. They can even occur while he is sleeping or in mid-sentence.
• Properly Paranoid: When two of him show up at the same time, they refuse to reveal which is from a different reality so that the Foundation won't dissect the spare. When one teleports, the other accidentally lets slip a detail that ID's both of them as alternates. The last line of the log is a typical clinical research log indicating that 507's powers do still apply to "severed limbs". The original 507 reappears a few days later, and is never informed about the events.
• Random Transportation: He has no control over when the shifts happen and where they take him to. There is a reason he is called the "reluctant" dimension hopper.
• Required Secondary Powers: Although he can't control his power, he always ends up on worlds where he can survive. Never appearing in mid-air, inside a solid object or outer space et cetera and he always comes back before he can be killed. This suggests that his anomaly comes with at least some safeguards.
• The Reveal: In SCP-5775, Junior Researcher Thomas Yaltz reveals himself to be SCP-507. Yaltz uses this revelation to convince his surviving expedition members to return to Earth while he and his handler Hold the Line, as he and Agent Troy will return to Earth after his next displacement.
• Ridiculously Average Guy: He has no outstanding physical characteristics outside of being slightly overweight and an unknown accent.
• Running Gag: Pudding. The guy's encounters caused him to have a small sub-plot regarding pudding.
  • He first adopts a full-pudding diet for two weeks after coming back from a world where all the plants scream telepathically when eaten.
  • He then becomes addicted to pudding for a short while after he travels to a dimension full of [REDACTED] that appeared as pudding to him.
  • He then completely avoids pudding after traveling to another dimension and experiencing some [DATA EXPUNGED], causing him to return much, much fatter.
• Silicon-Based Life: On one of SCP-507's trips, he ended up in a dimension with living, moving crystals based on silicon. They're described as looking like crustaceans and may be connected to SCP-440, which also creates crustacean-like silicon-based life.
• Spot the Imposter: Multiple versions of 507 have shown up in Foundation custody at the same time, leaving agents to guess which, if either is theirs.
• Telepathy: Document 507-3B is a list of the Alternate Universes SCP-507 has been to while in Foundation custody. In universe 9E2-66V-7HG5 he encountered plants that gave off a "telepathic scream" when eaten.
• This Is Gonna Suck: After SCP-507-A blows his cover and exposes himself as hailing from a different universe, and expendable for autopsy.
  507-A: Oh, bugger.
• Thought They Knew Already: One dimension's version of the Foundation accidentally revealed information to SCP-507 because they thought he already knew.
• Unluckily Lucky: Paradoxically, for as many weird Eldritch Locations as SCP-507 finds himself in, he never winds up in a location where he would be mortally wounded or instantly killed, like, say, in the middle of space. He doesn't even manage to ever bring back anything dangerous with him. Given what happened to SCP-507-A, this isn't a universal luxury.
• Unlucky Everydude: He's just a normal guy with the bad luck of being randomly teleported to different dimensions.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom:
  • In a deleted SCP, SCP-507 wound up in a game store during one of his trips. He bought a couple of booster packs of an expy of Magic: the Gathering for a couple of agents he knew. The problem was that when they used the cards, in this case, a fireball card, it set the opposite player on fire. Later, when interviewed about the game store, he said he did find it odd that the two guys playing it there were doing so in a steel cage. However, he figured that was just how they played it.
• We Are as Mayflies: He once ended up in a dimension where humans live full lifespans in 24 hours. He became internationally famous due to his normal lifespan allowing him to outlive two months of generations. He even became regarded as a wise elder who was consulted on world affecting decisions.
• Weird Moon: Once went to a world that had Earth floating in the sky. He asked a local alien who said it was the moon.
• What the Hell Is That Accent?: He speaks with an accent of... disputable origin.
• Wrongfully Committed: Committed to an insane asylum due to the extraordinary claims of his dimensional travels. An investigation into his numerous escapes brought him to the Foundation's attention because it was found that he wasn't delusional about it.

SCP- 590 — T.J. Bright

SCP-590 - He Feels Your Pain

Author: AdminBright
Posted: December 4th, 2008

SCP-590 is T.J. Bright, third son of the Bright family and Jack Bright's brother. When T.J. touches any other human, he heals all physical and mental injuries and ailments they may have, involuntarily transferring the injuries upon himself. The only benefit he receives from his ability is apparent longevity, as he has not aged since he was placed in containment. He was also one of the SCPs that his father, Adam Bright, used to attempt reviving 321, his sister Sarah, which his brother saw as a breaking point.

---

• The Ageless: He looks like a 16 year old but he actually is much older.
• Empathic Healer: When he touches somebody, all of their injuries and disease are transferred to him, hence his nickname "He Feels Your Pain." Didn't end well for him in the long run, though.
• Fate Worse than Death: What the Foundation (or, to be more accurate, his brother Dr. Bright) ultimately did to him after he cured his stillborn sister; he was reduced to a Manchild who was no longer able to speak and is strapped down to act as nothing more than a disease repository for the Foundation. And it gets worse; this was actually Dr. Bright's method of being NICE to him, considering the mental pain of healing a stillborn infant before being turned into a Manchild.
• "It" Is Dehumanizing: Subverted. Even though the Foundation makes it clear that he's not to be given a proper name or be viewed as anything other than a tool, he's continuously referred to as a "he", a treatment uncommon for Series I.
• Kick the Dog: Pretty much everything that happens to him, including (as the Leak Thread states) being forced by his own father to heal his stillborn sister, SCP-321, which left him bedridden until healing by SCP-500, and, after that came, they had to reduce him to a Manchild so that his mind wouldn't have to comprehend the mental pain he went through.
• Luke, I Am Your Father: He's Dr. Jack Bright's younger brother.
• Manchild: He was forcibly turned into one. Although he's a teenager, he now has the mind of a toddler.
• Middle Child Syndrome: Is the third born of the five Bright children, and not subject to any Parental Favoritism.
• Odd Name Out: The SCP articles about his brother (SCP-963 — Immortality) and sister (SCP-321 — Child of Man) follow a 3:2:1 pattern, but other numbers like 421 and 842 were already taken by the time of SCP-590 — He Feels Your Pain's publication.
• The Protagonist: Of Dating Sim The Sisters of Cheyenne Point. Things get better for him there, but, considering that it has so many bad endings, not very.
• Red Headed Step Child: He has red hair and is basically a guinea pig for the Foundation's experiments at this point.

SCP- 610 — The Flesh that Hates

SCP-610 - The Flesh that Hates

Author: NekoChris
Posted: April 11th, 2009

SCP-610 is one of the most rampant and destructive forces encountered by the Foundation. It's an extremely contagious skin disease that will cause blemishes resembling heavy scar tissue to consume the victim completely within five hours. When infection is complete, the victim's life functions will cease for 3 minutes, after which they will restart at 2-3 times faster than a normal human. Following this, the scar tissue will start to move of its own accord, growing to a mobile creature at a rapid rate. Infected subjects are strongly hostile to any lifeform that is not infected.

This SCP is one of the inspirations for the Sarkic Cults group of interest, but does not itself have the Sarkic tag since it was written long before they first appeared.

---

• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: A few of the research teams encounter an absolutely gigantic specimen. Said specimen is responsible for most of their deaths, and is seemingly invulnerable.
• Body Horror: The infected suffer horrifying transformations. There's a picture of it, too.
• Combat Tentacles: "SCP-610-L5 - Manned exploration of the Site A tunnels." While the assault team is escaping from the underground church, a tendril emerges from the ground, grabs one of them, and flings them away. The tendril came from a SCP-610 infected creature hiding under the ground.
• Expy:
  • A virus that horribly mutates infectees. Sound familiar? Just that it lacks the disguising ability that would normally cause paranoia. They also seem to be similar to Necromorphs and the Flood in appearance and variations in mutations. The church-like structure the final exploration team found helps.
  • With the Adytum mythos, the resemblance to the Flood strengthens in some ways; 610 is just a part of a much nastier and widespread whole, with a brilliant, manipulative, well-read, and eternally patient mind at the head ala Gravemind.
• External Retcon: Another author wrote SCP-610 into the mythos (and modern-day schemes) of Adytum and the Grand Karcist Ion's Sarkic cults, a worldwide Lovecraftian religion of fleshcrafting sorcerers. It is also confirmed that both 610 and Adytum's cults are the FLESH that the Church of the Broken God despises. The loathing is mutual.
• Forced Transformation: Not only does it turn people into instances of itself with varying mutations, but it can also turn other living creatures and even inanimate objects into instances. They also exhibit some strange uses with their powers, such as one instance seemingly tearing off some of its tendrils and using them as food.
• Hidden Elf Village: More like a Hidden Abomination Village. Site B is an entire ancient, hidden village completely inhabited by SCP-610 instances, and is where the Foundation discovers signs of the Religion of Evil.
• Hive Mind:
  • Somewhat. While the different instances for the most part seem to carry some sort of link with each other, such as them shrieking when an orb-like structure they created was destroyed, even though some of the infected were in a different part of town, they also seem to exhibit individual behaviors, such as one instance randomly beating up another instance.
  • Retcons have made the 610 infestation in Baikal one contingent of a global (and extradimensional) whole: The Sarkic cults of Adytum.
• Human Resources: Every structure, weapon, and tool the contagion uses is made from flesh and/or bone taken from a victim.
• Kill It with Fire: This is how specimens and infected subjects are terminated. Also seems to be at least partially why it hasn't spread outside of its point of origin, located in Siberia.
• Our Zombies Are Different: Plague Zombie with the Body Horror value turned up to eleven, with some heavy Religion of Evil elements added on top.
• Religion of Evil: The final exploration team discovers a church-like structure underground where the surrounding instances seem to be exhibiting strange, trance-like behaviors, and then another outside, complete with a village. The latter of these plays host to a cannibalistic ritual (seemingly led by a "priest" in a hooded cloak), and features a metal Ouroboros symbol. See External Retcon above for how this religion was expanded on.
• Sinister Scythe: The aforementioned hooded figure ambushed the team with a crop scythe.
• Time Abyss: The aforementioned churches and other structures are centuries, if not millennia old. Since the contagion has been alive and active for centuries, thousands will have died or worse to make up their tunnel network.
• The Virus: SCP-610 is a skin disease that spreads via body contact. A very horrible skin disease.
• Viral Transformation: SCP-610 infected will undergo some rather... unpleasant transformation after the disease spreads to the whole body.
• You Will Be Assimilated: SCP-610 infected are openly aggressive and actively attempt to spread the disease to non-infected.

SCP-662- 1 — Mr. Deeds

SCP-662 - Butler's Hand Bell

An artistic depiction of Deeds with a buck knife and SCP-662.

Author: Rick Revelry

Posted: May 30th, 2009

"My apologies for the delay, finding a way out was troublesome. But not to worry, I’ve brought the tea, just as you asked. I do hope you enjoy it."

SCP-662 is a small silver hand bell with no ringer. When the bell is shaken as if to ring it, a soft chime can be heard. This will result in the manifestation of SCP-662-1, a well-dressed Caucasian butler of self-proclaimed British heritage who calls himself Mr. Deeds, who will appear from the nearest area not within the ringer's line of sight. Mr. Deeds will address the ringer of his bell by the appropriate title and last name, and is able to bring the subject nearly anything they ask for and perform almost any task they give him. Deeds' knowledge of individuals' last names and titles, as well as the nature of his anomalous abilities, is a mystery, as he himself will purport. Mr. Deeds has shown skills in weapons handling and physical combat skills, as he can kill someone with surprising accuracy if his current ringer should ask him to do so. Mr. Deeds can also be asked by his ringer to kill himself, which he accepts without question. Should Mr. Deeds die for any reason, he will return to life the next time his bell is rung, provided that his corpse is out of the ringer's range of vision.

---

• Affably Evil: Whether or not he's "evil" depends on whoever's holding the bell, but he has no qualms committing the most reprehensible acts so long as his summoner requests it, always with an ire of respect and politeness.
• Battle Butler: Well, Deeds is a butler... and you can send him to kill people.
• Benevolent Genie: Deeds will always try to fulfill his master's wishes as intended, and if he is incapable of doing so, will politely say so and suggest an alternative.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: He always obeys his summoner in the most efficient and polite way possible, regardless of whether his requested assignment is benevolent or not.
• Decapitation Strike: His role in SCP-5000 is to assassinate the world's leaders using any tools available. He strangely disappears after the first day, implying that he managed to kill all the major heads of state in a single day.
• Driven to Suicide: The rewrite of his experiment log replaced the Stupid Evil method of torturing him to death in an attempt to extract information from him to the researcher requesting he kill himself. He does so gladly, saying it was a pleasure to serve Dr. Mirth for the short time he was able.
• Everyone Has Standards: Deeds refuses to carry out some orders, such as preparing a human flesh sandwich.
• Fish out of Temporal Water: He doesn't remember exactly when he was born, but believes it wasn't in this era. He recalls seeing the Horse and Buggy, and that bicycles were just becoming a fad with the wealthy, suggesting he's from the late 19th century.
• Genie in a Bottle: Deeds, with the bell serving as his bottle.
• Mundane Utility:
  • A number of "experiments" done with this SCP amount to Dr. Mirth getting Deeds to do his own personal errands. The Council had to tell him to knock it off.
  • How the bell itself was found also qualifies. It came to the Foundation's attention when a petty thief was trying to sell it to a pawn shop.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: His loyalties to whoever holds the bell doesn't seem to make a difference to him, even if that person purposely got him killed last time he did what they asked.
• Named by Adaptation: Mr. Deeds is not referred to with by an SCP designation in the original entry by Rick Revelry, but Smapti went out of their way to state he is designated SCP-662-1.
• Nice Guy: He's a friendly fellow who will do anything requested of him to the best of his ability, and the worst he does outside of his job is act uncomfortable when pressed on his origins or how his abilities work.
• Offscreen Teleportation: He needs to be unobserved to bring back items, and knows if he is being observed. If there are cameras, they simply malfunction for a minute or two, with Deeds not knowing or caring how he got the item.
• Resurrective Immortality: If he is killed, he will revive the next time the bell is rung.
• Unexplained Recovery: Whenever Deeds is killed, no matter how severe his injuries, he comes right back once his corpse is out of sight and the bell is rung.
• A Wizard Did It: Not even Deeds himself is quite sure how he's able to do what he does. Thinking about it too much seems to distress him.

SCP- 682 — Hard-to-Destroy Reptile

SCP-682 - Hard-to-Destroy Reptile

SCP-682 shortly after escaping from containment, still recovering from acid immersion.

Author: Dr Gears

Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)

"...They were...disgusting..."

SCP-682 is the single most infamous, rage-fueled, sociopathic, and destructive SCP in custody to date, to the point where nearly every single staff member of the Foundation fears it. It's a massive, vaguely-reptilian creature whose origins and biology are a complete mystery. The creature is extremely intelligent, and shows itself to possess a murderous hatred of all life, to the point where it will immediately attempt to destroy any and all living things within its line of sight. 682 has been observed to possess extremely high strength, speed, and reflexes, and it gains energy from anything it eats. What is truly concerning about 682 is its regenerative capabilities, having been seen moving and speaking with its body 87% destroyed. With its unrlenting fury and complete invulnerability, the Foundation does not want 682 contained, but destroyed as soon as possible. Though the creature can be injured, all attempts to permanently kill it have ended in often catastrophic failure, as it can regenerate and adapt from almost anything, as well as temporarily copy the effects of other anomalies used against it.

A list of its appearances can be found here. Its self-demonstrating page can be found here.

---

• Absolute Xenophobe: Toward nearly all Earth life.
• Actually Pretty Funny: At one point, someone tried to kill it by throwing a broom at its eye. 682, apparently genuinely amused, responded by just pulling the broom out and commenting that the Foundation's "getting desperate".
• Adaptive Ability: This is one of SCP-682's main features, and one of the main things that makes it so, well, hard to destroy.
  • Fortunately, the adaptations wear off eventually and it can always be at least incapacitated by heavy physical damage.
  • Unfortunately, 682's adaptive ability is so extremely powerful it basically makes him Nigh-Invulnerable. He survives after being disintegrated into a small bundle of particles.
  • You know 173? They put 173 in 682's chamber and shot 682's eyes. 682 then proceeded to grow more eyes. The new eyes were armored to keep them from being shot out as well.
• Always Chaotic Evil: In SCP-6001 (an alternate universe where the Foundation establishes a peaceful utopia), the closest we get to "taming" 682 is by sectioning him and his kind (a genus called "Immortigon") off from the rest of the world, ala Jurassic Park. They're still all mindlessly aggressive and territorial despite their human-like intelligence, violently rejecting any attempt at communication. However, they do provide one comment that sheds some nuance on the matter, by describing humanity as "no longer disgusting".
• Ambiguous Gender: It's generally assumed to be male and is sometimes referred to with he/him pronouns (whenever it's not referred to as "it" that is), but sometimes it'll be implied that 682 is actually female. SCP-053 seems to think this is the case, as her photograph from SCP-978 depicts 682 wearing a yellow, flower-patterned dress and with painted nails, though given that 053 is a child, she's presumably just guessing. 682's own status as an Eldritch Abomination obviously complicates matters in this regard.
• Animalistic Abomination: It looks like a reptile to human eyes, but is not even of this Earth.
• Animal Motifs: An odd example, since it's already an animal-like creature — the Competitive Eschatology and SCP-6001 both separately compared a healthier, less hostile 682 to a lion, in terms of both appearance and behavior (it even grows a "mane" of feathers in the former).
• The Antichrist: The New Job article claims that 682 is the Fourth Child of the Scarlet King.
• Arrogant God vs. Raging Monster: Inevitably, this is the result when it battles SCP-076, as it's a monstrosity with an animal-like form going up against an arrogant, superpowered humanoid. Though it's downplayed because both of them are Berserkers.
• Bait-and-Switch: The Competitive Eschatology sets him up as Death among the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, with Clef even lampshading how fitting and cliche that is. Turns out, he's actually the Pale Horse upon which Death rides and the real Death is SCP-053.
• Barred from the Afterlife:
  • In a conversation with SCP-1440, he claims that death itself fears him.
  Some creatures titled me "The Behemoth That Death Forgot" - Foolish assumption. Death never forgot me - They fear me. They always did.
  • In the Pitch Haven canon, he's the snake who got Adam and Eve barred from the Garden of Eden (which is also Heaven) and got kicked out himself shortly after. He asks God/SCP-343 to let him back in and God says he can't undo things once he's done them.
• Because You Were Nice to Me: Rather humorously inverted. The only human 682 ever spares is D-3654, and it seems this is because he enjoyed how hateful and bitter he was.
• Big Eater: At one point, it ate several "682 specials"^*10 kg rotten meat and sharpened bone splinters, 10 L rancid mayonnaise, 1 L potassium cyanide, and 1 kg morphine hydrochloride, combined into a solid mass, then transmuted via SCP-807 during a termination attempt and only suffered a forty-five-minute heart attack after eating the first one.
• Bigotry Exception:
  • SCP-053 defies 682's hatred for all life, although it could have something to do with her being a fellow abomination.
  • A more egregious and puzzling example is 682 sparing D-3654, a totally unanomalous human. This is due to the D Class being a violent misanthrope just like 682. The Reptile apparently finds him an entertaining conversationalist, as a kindred spirit when it comes to hating humanity.
• Boastful Rap: Its communication with SCP-1548. Which was in Morse code.
• Breakout Villain: Right up there with SCP-173 as the SCP. He serves as the series' central antagonist.
• Break the Badass: Not this version, but the one in the universe with the Shark Punching Center. They offered the reptile its freedom in exchange to it devoting its life to shark-punching. Naturally, it refused. Its refusal led the SPC to turn it into SPC-682, the "Very Punchable Shark", by exploiting its adaptive abilities and surgically altering its biology, becoming the ultimate punching bag for the SPC to practice any and every method on it. They succeed in breaking it, enough that it begged the SPC that it would punch sharks, but by that point, they have deemed it too valuable to be let go.
• Break Them by Talking: To Brown Note extents. SCP-682's reasoning for his misanthropy causes listeners to succumb to catatonia and self-harm.
• Brown Note: The SCP-6820 and SPC-682 articles and the story F̶o̶u̶r̶t̶e̶e̶n̶ Thirteen imply that the Foundation's obsession with killing it isn't because it's dangerous (even if it is dangerous), but because it has a cognitohazard that compels people to want to kill it. The Shark Punching Center was able to overcome that simply due to their sheer obsession with punching sharks.
  • In D-3654's termination log entry, SCP-682's 20-minute long explanation for why he hates humanity causes D-3654 to go into a permanent coma and drives anyone who listens to it to attempted suicide, forcing the Foundation to purge all recordings of the speech.
• Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": It only looks like a reptile.
• The Cat Came Back: If there's an attempt to remove 682 instead of killing it, it will come back (whether by exchanging genie — 702 — or teleporter — 507). It is also stated in the Serpent's Hand's file on it that it cannot be permanently banished from earth and will eventually return.
• Clap Your Hands If You Believe: 682's regenerative powers seem to be memory-based, rather than biological. When the Foundation heavily sedates 682 with amnesiatics straight from SCP-3000 itself, he forgets his immunity to acid and screams in pain as he has 70% of his mass dissolved, before adapting and regenerating from scratch. This is further evidence that 682 transcends hard science and his anomalous qualities are likely more memetic in nature.
• Cluster F-Bomb: He's capable of human speech, although much of it is quite angry and profane.
• Complete Immortality: As far as anyone can tell. Absolutely nothing that's been thrown at 682 has managed to put it in the ground, and certainly not for lack of trying.
• Creepy Monotone: In the audio version of its interview, it speaks in a scary, almost robotic sounding voice.
• Cruel Mercy: In a timeline where humanity was wiped out by SCP-3519, 682 saves Sole Survivor O5-6 from SCP-2490, giving him a cutting piece of snark as he leaves:
  SCP-682: We are alike now, meat. Killing you would only end suffering.
• Death by Irony: SCP-682 wants to kill all life on Earth. SCP-2935 did the job - unfortunately for 682, it is finally dead as well, as 2935 killed everything on the planet Earth.
• Death Seeker: Possibly. When 2599 was in the process of killing SCP-682, SCP-682 said "KILL ME, YOU SACK OF ORGANS, DO IT". However, it's also plausible that it was just trying to confuse her; given that 2599 is only capable of carrying out orders halfway and "kill me" took precedence over her previous order to "attack [682] until it is 200% dead", 2599 let 682 go immediately.
  • This is also contradicted by the Freak Out he had upon learning about his alternate self's death in the universe wiped out by SCP-2935 and his subsequent gratitude towards the Foundation agent who sacrificed himself so it wouldn't enter their reality.
• Dem Bones: In one of its designs◊, it has a skeletal face, protruding spine, and exposed ribcage.
• The Dog Bites Back: One backstory is that it used to be a small and adorable lizard creature that came to hate humanity as a result of being severely abused by the man who bought it as a pet.
• Dragons Are Demonic: It's a dragonlike monstrosity, has been referred to as "the Dragon" or "the Last Dragon" in various SCP tales, and is one of the most evil and dangerous entities in containment to the point that some accounts suggest that it may be Satan.
• Dragons Are Divine: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, its true form as the Pale Horse invokes this, complete with a pair of vibrant feathered wings. Notably, it's less malicious in this form, even apologizing to Dr. Clef.
• The Dreaded: Two 939 instances don't even bother defending themselves from 682, instead just immediately shrieking in distress as if they instinctively recognize him.
• Eldritch Abomination:
  • When brought in to terminate 682, SCP-343 — who is thought to be God — refused, remarking, "He's not one of mine. Deal with him yourself." Hoo boy. Made all the more explicit by the fact that the two can neither see nor interact with each other.
  • Made explicit after several tests with other SCPs which cast doubts on whether SCP-682 is either alive or dead. One of the scientists commented that this is the point where people start getting offered as sacrifices.
  • Interestingly, 682 seems to see humanity as a bunch of abominations, hence why it's always trying to destroy everything.
  • New Job claims that 682 is one of the Leviathans, seven abominations who are the children of the Scarlet King who are destined to help him destroy the multiverse. He is stated to be the Scarlet King's fourth child and apparently the weakest of his siblings.
  • The Competitive Eschatology canon suggests that 682 is the Pale Horse that the Horseman of Death will ride when the Apocalypse comes.
  • The termination log with SCP-023 reveals that 682 is somehow immediate family with Epsilon Serpentis, a star.
  • Straight from the mouth of DrGears himself:
  "SCP-682 is not, in any way, a biological entity as we understand biology. Not at all. No. It is a…thing, which has somehow formed a "shell" or "growth" that we have numbered SCP-682. What it is, I have no idea, but I doubt it normally has a form we would call "corporeal". Anything dealing with normal biological processes does not count with 682. Hurting it is like shaving the hair off a human: annoying, but not deadly. Time, space, and states of matter must function very differently where ever this thing is from, and it is functioning on those rules, not ours ...It's a cheating bastard at reality."
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Yes, really. The Foundation tried terminating 682 with SCP-023, a dog that'll either kill you or a close relative of yours if you make eye-contact with it. When 682 met 023, the star Epsilon Serpentis went supernova, and when 682 was informed of this, he entered a state of depression for weeks.
• Evil Counterpart: To SCP-1364: 682 is an unidentifiable "reptile" that adapts to survive and hates everything while 1364 is an anteater that, despite being harmed by bright lights, still wants a hug. 682 has even acknowledged them as counterparts.
  "The Yin to go with my Yang. Or am I the Yin? I'll never fully understand your disgusting figures of speech. But let me save you the trouble. Killing that thing won't do anything to me."
• Evil Sounds Deep: In an alternate version of its interview.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: SCP-682 really is a Hard-To-Destroy Reptile. Although the picture originally used in the article was of "The Moscow Monster", which was really just the corpse of a beluga whale.
• Expy: Adaptive Ability, Healing Factor, extremely difficult to kill, and tries to kill everything around it? SCP-682 is basically a more reptilian version of Doomsday.
• Extreme Omnivore: It gains energy from anything it ingests, even the acid used to contain it.
• The Extremist Was Right: In SCP-5000. After discovering a horrible secret regarding the truth behind humanity's collective unconscious, the Foundation ends up agreeing with SCP-682 that there is something inherently wrong with humanity... and deciding that eradicating humanity is the only logical step to spare them from this fate.
  SCP-682: You almost understood.
• Extremophile Lifeforms: Implied. When the Foundation tried killing it by putting it in a vacuum, 682 adapted by excreting a strange gas, which seemed to be an attempt at recreating its natural atmosphere. Upon analyzing a sample of this alien air, Dr. Carlson commented "No wonder this thing's so durable if that's what its native atmosphere is like."
• Failure Is the Only Option: Any attempts to kill SCP-682 are met with failure and will always end in failure. Doing otherwise would defeat the point of SCP-682. There is in fact one proven way to definitely and permanently kill 682, and that is to use SCP-2935. Unfortunately, doing so would also kill all life on the planet Earth, and possibly in the rest of the universe as well.
• Feathered Fiend: Its true form in the Competitive Eschatology canon is covered in feathers, some of which form a lion-like mane around its head, as well as a pair of angelic wings. Seems to overlap with Feathered Dragons.
• Fighting a Shadow: DrGears indicates that what we call SCP-682 is simply the physical avatar of a nigh-omnipotent extradimensional entity. Of course, this is out-of-universe information that the Foundation doesn't know, so they're doomed to forever repeat useless experiments trying to kill a shadow.
• Flanderization: Many off-site fanfics about 682 were written under the impression that Power Copying is one of 682's main abilities. It was actually used exactly once in its test log, and was more like turning an anomaly's effects on others and away from itself. 682 never "learned" it. It does gain this ability in SCP-6820, but only because that particular attempt to destroy it made it exponentially more powerful.
• From a Single Cell: SCP-2305 once spat out a hypothetical termination attempt that ended with 682 coming back from only 0.03 milliliters of its blood remaining... and then growing to the size of Saturn.
  • The closest the Foundation ever got to eliminating 682 was when they reduced it down to 173's size, then had 173 reduce it to a pulp, then burned the pulp out of existence. It seemed to have worked, with the researcher who masterminded the experiment even being scheduled to receive a medal of honor... But it turned out a single stain survived and was washed down into the sewer, from which 682 regenerated and emerged 2 weeks later.
  • And in some termination logs entry, 682 even manages to regenerate from nothing at all, implying his durability is more in-line with Resurrective Immortality than cellular regeneration.
• Generic Doomsday Villain: In a way, SCP-682 is purely a vehicle for SCP cross-test fun. Detractors of the article see 682 as lacking any sort of personality beyond "they are disgusting", and is created purely so that people can propose SCP cross-tests to try to destroy it. The fact he's basically just a reptilian version of the Trope Namer doesn't help matters.
• Get Out!: His response to Dr. Spanko is to simply say "Leave", which Dr. Spanko politely obliges.
• Godzilla Threshold: "Special Containment Procedures: SCP-682 must be destroyed as soon as possible." While the Foundation is usually focused on containing and studying SCPs rather than destroying them, 682 is one of the few they've determined to be so dangerous that it must be killed.
  • Defied in the actual termination attempts, though. While the Foundation wants 682 destroyed, they don't want to go to exceptionally extreme lengths (like nuking it, feeding it to 169, or siccing 239 on it) because if it survives and adapts (which it most probably will), humanity would be all kinds of boned.
• Good Thing You Can Heal: Good for 682, bad for everyone else. The Foundation has thrown all kinds of different things at 682. None worked and 682 regenerated all its wounds.
• Grandfather Clause: The Foundation's desire to see it be destroyed at all costs is a little hard to square with more modern lore that claims the Foundation eschews that kind of reckless destructiveness unless there's no other option (and 682, by many accounts, has been kept in containment for decades). But that part of 682 is too iconic for it to go. Some stories have even brought up the idea that there's something about 682 that makes it inherently revulsive to humanity, far moreso than it should be.
• Half the Man He Used to Be: They cut it in half with a high-powered laser. Each half grew back into a full-size 682. Thankfully, once 682-B was incapacitated and 682-A was cornered, 682-A ate 682-B in an attempt to invoke Heal Thyself.
• Hate Plague:
  • The 6820 article raises the hypothesis that 682's most prominent anomalous property isn't its immortality, but the irrational, irresistible hatred it inspires. The Foundation's self-destructive obsession with killing 682 is rather out-of-character, given how 682 isn't an impending threat and not actively trying to breach containment. This would also explain its relationship with 053, who has a similar passive memetic ability.
  • After being cross-tested with 514, he infected the personnel who observed the test with a plague that made them murderous and killed each other with improvised weapons.
• Hates Everyone Equally: It's nothing personal, but you and your individuality are the abomination as far as The Hard To Destroy Lizard is concerned and you must be dealt with accordingly.
• Healing Factor: One of its most notable abilities; it can recover from any harm inflicted on it.
• He Cleans Up Nicely:
  • In the SCP-6001 scenario, the SCP-682 species is seen in its natural state: dinosaur-like majestic beasts with colorful scales, healthy complexions, and lush coats. It puts into perspective that 682 is as representative of its species as a rabid, tortured, rotten zombie would be of humanity.
  • Its true form in the Competitive Eschatology is a divine, draconic creature covered in beautiful feathers and with large, angelic wings.
• Heel–Face Turn: In the Competitive Eschatology, it ceases its hostility when Yahweh brings it back into His favor and revives it as the Pale Horse. At one point, it even apologizes to Dr. Clef for causing him and the Foundation so much grief, as well as pre-emptively apologizing for all the destruction that will follow as it's reunited with its rider.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: In the Shark Punching Center Alternate Universe, they discover that while its Adaptive Ability makes it near impossible to kill, it can also be manipulated via external stimuli to be turned to their own purposes. After a bit of surgery and dumping it into salt water, they managed to turn it into a shark. It is implied that the only thing preventing the Foundation from doing the same thing is the fact that they are so obsessed with killing it that they are overlooking better ways of containing it.
• Horsemen of the Apocalypse: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, he is the Pale Horse from the Book of Revelation. SCP-053 is his rider, Death.
• Humans Through Alien Eyes: According to invokedWord of God, it's not evil, it's just that everything alive in our world (except SCP-053) is so horribly, gut-wrenchingly disgusting and wrong that SCP-682 can't help reacting by trying to make us all stop existing ASAP. It also didn't try to kill Dr. Clef, most likely because Clef's "face cycling" ability made 682 perceive him as something else.
  Dr Gears: Imagine being dropped into a world where the very sky ached to look at, where every sound raked like a power sander across teeth, where life seemed specially bred to mock and torture your every sense. That's what 682 feels. It's not so much angry as horrified, which can show as anger, like finding half a roach in your sandwich. It kills for the same reason you smash an offending bug. Now, just imagine if the air was physically made of house centipedes, and you start to get the picture.
• Immune to Fate: The Foundation tries rewriting 682's existence with SCP-2140. He No Sells it, stating simply, "It won't work. Unlike you dancing shadows, my past was real and cannot be re-written, as much as I wish it were."
• Inbred and Evil: According to some Foundation lore, it is the child of the Scarlet King and his fourth daughter, A’zieb, the Fourth Scarlet Bride.
• Infernal Retaliation: The Foundation once attempted to launch SCP-682 into the sun with a very large cannon. It came back on fire. It also had wings that launched razor-sharp feathers. Of course, this was only mentioned in the joke SCP entry for said very large cannon, so it's not canon by virtue of the 1543-J not existing within SCP canon (nebulous and ill-defined as it is). Just cannon.
• Iron Butt Monkey: The attempts made by the Foundation to kill 682 are almost too numerous to list. However, 682's ability to adapt and recover mean that it's not fazed by any of them, and often retaliates in kind.
• It Can Think: It's the single aspect of the Hard to Destroy Reptile that the Foundation hates and fears most. 682 is very, very intelligent and wants to destroy us all. It didn't take long for O5 personnel to catch on, and issue orders to have this monster not studied, but terminated as soon as possible.
• Joker Immunity: Pretty much the entire point of 682's existence. The Foundation, whose policy is usually "'Secure, Contain, Protect', not 'Destroy, Destroy, Destroy'", has attempted to destroy the lizard too many times to count, but its abilities mean that they're always doomed to fail.
• The Juggernaut: SCP-682 is nigh-unstoppable. It has breached containment six times and resulted in the deaths of dozens of Foundation personnel, and that's without counting all the times it breached containment after failed termination attempts.
• Just Eat Him:
  • Its preferred method of disposing with us, since dead humans are just as offensive to it as the living.
  • The foundation once tried to kill him by making hamburgers out of him. In addition to (unsurprisingly) not working, the hamburgers tasted terrible.
• Killer Rabbit: There was an attempt to retcon it into a harmless regular cat through Reality Warping. It didn't prove to be any less dangerous.
• Laser-Guided Karma: The fate of SCP-682 in Roget's Proposal. It is imprisoned within SCP-296 which, in this incarnation, is composed of every staff member and Task Force agent murdered by the beast.
• Light 'em Up: After being trapped in a dark room with SCP-173, 682 produced a light similar to an angler fish and lit up the room.
• Meaningful Name: It's a reptilian monster that's extremely difficult to kill, to the point that the Foundation may not even be able to kill it at all.
• Mortality Grey Area: As an Eldritch Abomination who has survived things outright impossible to do so, the Foundation suspects that 682 can't really be considered a living being. SCP-6820 outright describes the concept it embodies as "the difference between life and death."
• Multiple-Choice Past: 682 has a mind-boggling number of possible origins. It might be the Serpent from the Garden of Eden (that was a disgraced demiurge), the "bastard child of Apep", the child of the Scarlet King and his fourth bride, a mutated version of Doctor Gears, the last living dragon, a prototype living superweapon, or all sorts of other things.
• Never Smile at a Crocodile: Most of its designs depict it similar to a giant lizard or a crocodilian.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: This is its main trait, due to its Adaptive Ability and Healing Factor. Even to the most consistently fatal SCPs, SCP-682 can take them on and survive, especially after the 1st contact.
• Non-Malicious Monster: In a strange way, 682 is shy and somewhat nervous of anything new it encounters. Unless that something new should be a human being.
  Dr Gears: Whatever Clef had done that causes his head to be unrecordable seems to bugger up more than just cameras. 682 was unsure as to what in the fuck was going on. 682 isn't inherently a violent organism, as we understand the term. When not faced with unreal terror, 682 is actually somewhat cautious and shy, like many big predators. If Clef had stayed inside, 682 would have probably adapted past the “face cycling” thing, and butcher[ed] him. As it was, the big gecko was waiting to see what would happen.
• No-Sell: While he can be harmed or affected by most anomalies, at least until he adapts to them, he notably is completely immune to the effects of SCP-2140, an image that normally rewrites the past and personality of anyone who sees it.
• Not Zilla: What the Foundation is desperate to prevent, hence why it's constantly stuck in an acid bath that damages it as much as it regenerates and grows from continued exposure.
• Nuke 'em:
  • One of the proposed ways to end it was by using a 60 MT thermonuclear bomb. Ultimately decided against, because, to quote the O5 council:
    O5-█: Yes, it's a goddamn nuke, but if 682 survives and adapts we'd be boned beyond belief.
  • This scenario plays out in one of the Multiple Endings for SCP – Containment Breach. It barely slows him down.
• Obliviously Evil: While he is a grouch and a bit of a jerk, the way he talks implies that he thinks he's doing the world a favor by killing all those "disgusting humans".
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: During its fifth containment breach, the Sole Survivor who captured it is Personnel D-221. Yes, a D-class. And no, there's no detail how he did it.
• Omnicidal Maniac: SCP-682 wants to destroy every living thing on the planet except for SCP-053, which is close enough. Dr. Clef also doesn't seem to trigger its murder-death-kill reflex, most likely because of whatever Clef did to make his face unrecordable.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: It's friendly with 053, the living Hate Plague in the form of a perpetually young girl. Their interactions are surprisingly wholesome, but this just makes whatever the hell 053 is even more frightening that 682 doesn't find her disgusting.
• Pet the Dog: SCP-053 is so far the only living thing that 682 didn't immediately try to kill — in fact, 053 played with it. Did we mention that this is the opposite of what usually happens, given that 053's main power seems to be to make people inexplicably and violently hate her? Went into Papa Wolf and Even Evil Has Loved Ones territory when 682 attacked the personnel sent to retrieve 053, presumably believing they'd harm 053. Then again, it may have just been doing what it usually does, mauling anything in sight.
• Play-Along Prisoner: It is eventually revealed that the acid in 682's tank doesn't actually hurt it. It is actually just a warm bath to it, and it stays there as it views the acid as a break from its eternal suffering.
• Reality Warper: Sort of; it's not so much that 682 can warp reality, but more like the laws of reality just don't apply to it.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: When talking to D-3654, 682 gives a monologue no shorter than 20 minutes long explaining why exactly he hates humanity so much. It's so thoroughly articulate and convincing that it causes suicidal self-loathing in anyone who listens to it, meaning that the Foundation has unfortunately made it unavailable for reading.
• Reptiles Are Abhorrent: While it's not any real animal, it vaguely resembles a reptilian, and is referred to as "hard-to-destroy-reptile".
• Resurrective Immortality: When the Foundation wipes 682 out of existence with a Pattern Screamer, 682 literally respawns from scratch, proving beyond any reasonable doubt that 682's immortality far transcends biological regeneration and he's simply an unkillable universal constant. That, or the Pattern Screamer willed him back into existence for whatever reason.
• Ret-Gone: In at least one reality, the Foundation built a machine to retroactively erase it from existence. However, it managed to survive in the machine's code, since the machine needed to know what to erase. As a result, it eventually hijacked the reality-warping machine and is suggested to have erased that entire reality, save for notes which escaped into the main timeline.
• Satan: In the Pitch Haven canon, he was the serpent in the Garden of Eden.
• Sophisticated as Hell: It calls SCP-999 a "feculent little snot wad" and invites it to "[DATA EXPUNGED] and die", and generally gets pretty vicious verbally if it's restrained physically.
• Strong as They Need to Be: While 682's ability to adapt and recover from anything is always in place, its "baseline" strength is historically all over the map. It's suggested that a single MTF team with proper equipment is enough to keep it down (albeit usually taking casualties in the process) when it breaches containment, and that hydrochloric acid can harm it enough to keep its regeneration in check. However, there are times when its power has shot up to world-ending levels, capable of going toe-to-toe with Reality Warper entities. This is somewhat justified by its Adaptive Ability; some termination reports have implied that the Foundation deliberately refuses to use certain entities on it for fear that it would become too powerful upon adapting to them.
• Takes One to Kill One: It is revealed in SCP-6001 that SCP-682's species can only be killed by their own kind.
• Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth:
  • The Foundation once tried to get rid of SCP-682 not by terminating him, but by simply dumping him in SCP-3008, the infinite IKEA. SCP-3008 sent him back. This is essentially the equivalent of being kicked out of Hell.
  • 682 has also been on the receiving end of this trope: it was terrified of 173 and 524, and 2337 was apparently so bizarre that 682 simply told him to leave.
• Trapped in Another World: It's implied to not be from our reality as our laws of reality don't seem to fully apply to it, and it can't be detected by SCP-343.
• The Undead: Heavily implied to not be biologically "living" in the traditional sense and possibly one of these.
• Undying Loyalty: In the Competitive Eschatology, it's claimed that 682 becoming docile towards 053 is because she's the Horseman of Death among the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and he is her steed.
• Un-person: He was erased from Eden's records and referred to only as "it" as part of his punishment for giving humanity the fruit of knowledge.
• Unstoppable Rage:
  • It's not as popular as its other traits, but SCP-682 has episodes that are hard to describe as anything else, where it seems to lose control and become even more aggressive and even harder to incapacitate than usual.
  • After being exposed to SCP-999, it went into an utterly insane state, unleashing a wave that caused everyone in range to enter crippling fits of laughter and proceeded to go on a rampage, all the while laughing maniacally.
• Violence is the Only Option: It can't be safely contained, so the Foundation deems its destruction necessary.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: Believe it or not, 682 briefly developed this sort of relationship with D-3654. They had a 25-minute long exchange of insults, yet at no point did 682 ever try to physically attack him. It's implied that this is because 682 actually appreciated the Class-D's vulgar hatred, and this is the closest thing to a pleasant conversation 682 has ever had with a living being.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?:
  • SCP-173 is one of very few things that SCP-682 is completely terrified of. One story reveals that this is because SCP-173 was a Hitler-like figure in the universe SCP-682 came from.
  • There's also SCP-524, the omnivorous (as in will eat everything, including itself) rabbit. When put together, 524 started chewing on 682's leg, and chased 682 around the testing chamber for two minutes before 682 ran four meters up the wall and out of 524's reach.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: It seems to find humans so wrong it can't help but kill them. That they are trapping, torturing, and trying to kill it isn't helping.
• The Worf Effect:
  • In general, whenever things get into definitely non-canon or alternate-universe territory, one can count on 682 to die.
  • They found its dead body in SCP-2935, because absolutely EVERYTHING is dead on that side of the portal.
  • Played for laughs in SCP-666½-J. The diarrhea it causes drove 682 to suicide: it threw its arms in the air, yelled "Yog Sothoth take me now!", and died.
• Worthy Opponent: After their Rap Duel, there have been several transmissions from SCP-1548 requesting a rematch.
• Would Hurt a Child:
  • Except for SCP-053.
  • Another notable example is found in the Attempted Termination Logs, in which one researcher got the bright idea to start tossing completely normal children to 682, apparently out of some misplaced hope of recreating the incident with 053. Said researcher was quickly determined to be a sadistic asshole and thus was promptly tossed to 682 himself.
• You Are Who You Eat: Not only are its adaptive capabilities incredible, but it has the ability to absorb whoever it devours.

SCP- 845 — Liquid Polecat

SCP-845 - Liquid Polecat

Author: Smaugnolia

Posted: September 27th, 2012

SCP-845 is a species of mustelid that is closely related to the European polecat. 845's anomalous abilities manifest when a specimen is startled, hunting, or playing, during which they can fully convert their bodies into a liquid form. Its liquid state shows limited mobility on land, but is extremely mobile underwater, capable of forming itself into complex hydrodynamic structures. Specimens are known to sometimes enter the canteens of campers, and if a human attempts to consume it, it will either attempt to retract itself from the subject's mouth, or force the subject to consume it entirety. Upon being deposited into the stomach, the specimen will re-solidify and initiate burrowing in an attempt to escape. The subject will experience severe internal bleeding and acute peritonitis as the specimen tears through the abdominal cavity. Upon successfully breaching the surface of the skin, the specimen will enter a liquid state and exit through the wound, before re-solidifying and returning to its habitat.

---

• Chest Burster: If SCP-845 is swallowed while in liquid form, it will change back into its animal form in the victim's stomach and burrow its way out of the victim's body through the abdomen.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: SCP-845 is a polecat that can change into a light brown liquid similar to water.

SCP- 846 — Robo-Dude™

SCP-846 - Robo-Dude

SCP-846 in its dormant state.

Author: Tanhony

Posted: August 24th, 2011

"ROBO-DUDE IS THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OF DR. WONDERTAINMENT."

SCP-846, better known as "Robo-Dude™", is a small plastic toy robot manufactured by Dr. Wondertainment. Robo-Dude may be operated via a small remote control featuring an "On/Off" button, a "Speak" button, and a small microphone. Robo-Dude claims that it possesses 350 "Robo-Accessories™" within a cavity in its chest. Some of these accessories include a "Fire Drill" (a flamethrower), an "Energy Laser" (a weapon reminiscent of a pistol), a "Boom Ray" (a rocket launcher), and a "Melt-o-Tron 5000" (an acid sprayer), among others. It also has a penchant for dancing its "ROBO-DANCE", which it will perform at random.

---

• Acid Attack: One of its weapons is an acid sprayer called the "Melt-o-Tron 5000."
• Beware the Silly Ones: "DO NOT INTIMIDATE ROBO-DUDE." This thing may look like a typical goofy toy, but watch out, it can and will murder you with its weapons if it has the chance.
• Dance Sensation: Its "ROBO-DANCE", which it will perform without being asked.
• Fire-Breathing Weapon: Its "Fire Drill", which is essentially a flamethrower.
• Happy Fun Ball: "DO NOT INTIMIDATE ROBO-DUDE."
• Hyperspace Arsenal: It's only 20 centimeters/7.8 inches tall, but its body contains enough space to store 350 different "Robo-Accessories™." According to itself, it can do this due to being equipped with something called "Interior Shift."
• Killer Robot: An example that's meant to be a toy.
• My Little Panzer: It's a children's toy armed with numerous weapons. And they all work!
• No Indoor Voice: It always speaks in ALL CAPS, presumably meant to simulate a robotic voice.
• Nuke 'em: Presumably what its "Atomic Grenade" is. Understandably, the Foundation didn't try to test it.
• Third-Person Person: It constantly refers to itself as "Robo-Dude™."
• Zeerust: It closely resembles a 1950s-style toy robot.

SCP- 914 — The Clockworks

SCP-914 - The Clockworks

One of the least complex sections of SCP-914 in a non-active state.

Author: Dr Gears

Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008)

SCP-914 is an immense clockwork device weighing several tons and covering an area of eighteen square meters, consisting of over eight million moving parts, including screw drives, belts, pulleys, gears, springs, and other clockwork mechanisms comprised of tin and copper. Two large booths are connected to the main body of 914, labeled "Intake" and "Output". Between them is a copper panel with a large knob with a small arrow attached. The words "Rough", "Coarse", "1:1", "Fine", and "Very Fine" are positioned at different points around the knob. When an object is placed in the Intake booth, a door slides shut and a small bell sounds. If the knob is turned to any position, 914 will "refine" the object in the booth. The process takes between five and ten minutes, depending on the size of the object being refined. The "quality" of the refining is dictated by the setting the knob between the two booths is pointed at. "Rough" and "Coarse" will degrade the object to base materials, "Fine" and "Very Fine" will amplify or upgrade the object, and "1:1" will replace the object with a different object of equal worth or quality. Extensive testing and interaction with other SCPs objects has revealed that 914 is sapient and has a personality.

---

• Amplifier Artifact:
  • When on Fine or Very Fine. For instance, a CD became a flash drive, and a printed copy of The Mona Lisa results in a version painted on either canvas (Fine) or wood (Very Fine, as that is the material of the original). Notably, the Very Fine Mona Lisa is completely indistinguishable from the original, even appearing as though aged five centuries.
  • When used on phones that have SCP-1471 installed, it gives 1471-A increasing amounts of power and control over reality - however by all appearances, 1471-A does not like this - the experiments describe it growing increasingly disconcerted and upset until it pulled the Doctor forcing the tests into one of the phones.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Several experiments have teased the possibility of controlling the machine to actually give out the expected results; however, the means of doing so are impossible to apply in practice. A Bob Ross video changed to feature the artist fiddling with 914 and obtaining perfectly viable products at the end, even if he has to regress considerably in the process and even break several pieces for parts; the problem is that several factors affecting the end result include temperature, humidity, light, and specific thoughts or visualizations. At no point does Ross explain how this affects 914, merely mentioning the factors as a means to an end - and it doesn't help it's impossibly counterintuitive to begin with. Mr. Deeds is also capable, at lower settings, to produce exactly what he wants, but 914 is uncooperative and it's clear doing this is damaging it, so experimentation is discontinued before attempting this on higher settings.
• Awesomeness Is Volatile:
  • Items gained from the Very Fine setting have a high chance of breaking spectacularly at some point. Recursively refined items using this setting are increasingly prone to this.
  • At one point, Dr. Veritas had the idea to summon Mr. Deeds to see if his abilities were conductive in controlling 914's output. While Deeds was successful in delivering somewhat expected results rather than 914's usual Wild Card results, 914 seemed remarkably uncooperative and future tests were cancelled when it became obvious gaming the system this way was damaging the machine.
• Big "NO!": When someone put a photo of SCP-882 (which 914 is terrified of) into the intake booth, it produced two pieces of paper shaped like the letters N and O. Along with a "puddle of brown ink".
• Bio Manipulation: Defied. It can do this, but the biological risks of playing with living matter are so appalling the O-5 Council have passed a blanket ban on biological experimentation with it, making it only possible in an extremely limited fashion and only with special dispensation from the Council. While this has not deterred the very occasional moron trying to play God, they are nearly always gunned down by Site security as soon as the results leave the cubbyhole.
• Black Box: Nobody's sure how the collection of gears works.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Its idea of "refinement" is very strange at times, producing items that can be impractical and outright dangerous to keep around.
• Brown Note: It is fully capable of producing cognitohazardous outputs, and a distressing number of Fine and Very Fine tests result in cognitohazards of various danger levels.
• Clock Punk: It's made entirely from clockwork parts.
• Combinatorial Explosion: It has five quality settings, "Rough", "Coarse", "1:1", "Fine" and "Very Fine", and the results are different every time.
• Crazy-Prepared: After the Foundation realized the potential danger of SCP-914's output, it was moved to its own containment facility, where tests are very thoroughly monitored. An incinerator on-site is available to dispose of potential dangers, the test chamber for 914 is heavily reinforced to minimize the damage it causes, and the storage and transportation facilities allow its output to be examined, stored, and moved to other sites covertly. All of these measures have proved very necessary.
• D.I.Y. Disaster: 914 does not like being asked to assemble IKEA furniture. Three tests with a flat-pack chair set resulted in the parts being assembled in a random useless configuration, a chair that was almost correctly assembled (but with the front and back legs switched and the seat damaged by someone banging on it with a hammer), and a wooden figure extremely enthusiastic about assembling IKEA products, but incapable of doing so. When another test was conducted with a bed set, 14 minutes of banging noises were heard before 914 spat out the parts in the shape of a giraffe and a set of origami throwing stars made from the instructions that fired out of the output booth at 526 km per hour.
• Driven to Madness: Not the machine itself, but if this tale is to be believed it has a rather dark history of madness and horror connected to it, with several being driven to obsession through trying to unpack the secret of how it works, only to completely snap after running one test too many with horrific results. And since it appears to have a personality, and a rather trollish one at that, the only conclusion that can be reached is that it deliberately frustrates any attempt at figuring out the logic behind its creations precisely to do this...
• Equivalent Exchange:
  • Putting something in the machine on the 1:1 setting converts it to a similar item of the same quality. For example, a tuna sandwich on white bread becomes a salmon sandwich on rye bread.
  • In a more scientific take on the trope, SCP-914 won't break the laws of thermodynamics, and anything sent into it must be made of the same materials on the atomic scale once it comes out.
• Everyone Has Standards:
  • Attempting to use 914 to Kick the Dog generally results in the machine refusing to play along, even breaking its own rules to do so.
  • When a janitor tries to use it to destroy Jeff the Mug Cat, the most 914 does (even on Very Fine) is change Jeff's fur pattern, and when a researcher tried to destroy a laptop with evidence that he was a human trafficker by putting the device in 914 on Rough results in the laptop being neatly disassembled and easy to reassemble.
  • 914 hates SCP-1459, the puppy-killing arcade game. Giving it a copy of 1459's file results in suggestions of possible painful demises for the device.
• Fusion Dance: Generally from two items on the Fine setting. Reversed with the Rough setting, which tends to turn the item back into its raw materials.
• Godwin's Law: Feeding it Mein Kampf results in a series of increasingly elaborate and creative insults at Hitler's expense, eventually culminating in a doddering and clumsy but entirely animate papier-mâché model of Hitler that the staff are encouraged to punt with no consequence.
• Hand Cannon: A Colt Python ran through on the Very Fine setting became powerful enough to completely disintegrate anything it hit.
• Harmless Villain:
  • Combining a pound of cooked bacon and a photograph of SCP-682 on Very Fine resulted in a tiny, predictably hostile version of 682 made out of bacon that escaped containment and tried to kill all staff present, but was unable to for obvious reasons. A request to classify it as SCP-682-BAC was denied.
    Note: Very funny, Dr. Curtis. You are suspended from testing SCP-914 until further notice. Though I have to admit, it smelled delicious. - Dr. Gears
  • A very ill-advised attempt by a researcher to see if it could create a clone of SCP-173 instead results in 30 tiny miniature versions. They all act exactly the same as the original, but are too small to do anything but bump into people's legs.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: At one point, after one too many disasters with 914, Darby got Reassigned to Antarctica and finally out of 914's hair. Then an experiment to create a cognitohazard poster resulted in everyone's memories of Darby being erased... which resulted in Darby being sent back to the 914 site.
• It Amused Me: One theory to its purpose is that it's actually a sort of bizarre entertainment device.
• It Can Think:
  • While considered most likely non-sentient by the Foundation, the testing logs indicate that 914 has at least some form of awareness. At the very least, it's smart enough to play chess. Further tests gave it a 500-800 Elo rating, meaning that while it's a good match against novices, better or more experienced players have little difficulty in winning.
  • When its picture was taken by SCP-978, it showed a subtle change (showing it with a setting higher than "Very Fine"), indicating that 914 at least has desires. Notably, no changes were found in numerous other non-animate SCPs, indicating, at the very least, it has a higher level of awareness than a typical object.
  • Perhaps more saliently, it's implied to emote in some of its testing logs, showing fear of SCP-882, frustration at trying to solve crossword puzzles and assemble IKEA furniture, marked preferences for certain researchers (and the inverse, as it constantly torments Darby), and even gets bored at an experiment that just tests teapots on 1:1 over and over again.
• Literal Genie: At times. Put a E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial video game cartridge on Fine, and it returns a boxed copy.
• Mad Artist:
  • If it is truly sentient, then this is probably the best way to describe what it does. In the words of Dr. Gears:
    "After extended time spent in research on and with SCP-914, the following proposal regarding its nature may be made with a significant degree of certainty: SCP-914 was not designed as an industrial device. Nor was it primarily a scientific device. Its primary function appears to be as a form of entertainment. After review of the recovery notes, and evaluation of the test logs, it appears that SCP-914 was designed to create the most “novel” items possible, with no regard for practicality or function."
  • If you decide to accept this tale into your headcanon, then SCP-914 certainly takes after its creator.
  • Likewise for this tale, where it tells the Church of the Broken God to take a hike because the Foundation lets it make stuff its owners never did.
• Mathematician's Answer: Given that at least it has something resembling awareness, the researchers have tried asking it how it works. The results have been uniformly entirely truthful, entirely useless, and slightly mocking, from a drawing of an apple that turns into an orange to a huge book whose pages appear solid black - but in reality it's full of tremendously tiny strings of heavily-coded information.
• Morality Dial: When two duplicate dial panels were put in on 1:1 setting, one of the the resulting panels gave it "mood" settings ranging from Jovial, Curious, Insightful, and Malicious, which were additive to the previous settings. Testing with the alternative dials were suspended after one too many "Malicious" tests produced virulent flesh-eating microbes.
• Mundane Object Amazement: On a cosmic scale: the log of SCP-4100 states that, in the far future, SCP-914 is just one instance of a standard item found on most interplanetary spaceships.
• Mundane Utility:
  • At one point, a maintenance technician had the idea to send through a bunch of degreaser and various other chemicals used for machine maintenance, with a note saying to use it to help itself out on 1:1. The results was a bunch of used chemicals and SCP-914 running smoother for a few days. It also fell in love with said maintenance technician...
  • Zigzagged; the machine itself doesn't appreciate people trying to use it for mundane tasks. When somebody tried to use it to translate some DVD sets of Himitsu no Akko-chan into English, they got DVDs of two other magical girl animes, a series of videos on how to learn Japanese, and finally a printout of an article titled "5 Reasons No One Ever Helps You Out When You Ask for Favors (Spoiler: It's You)".
• No Fair Cheating: One of the very few ways the machine can be somewhat reliably controlled is by sending in Mr. Deeds with a specific command. Unfortunately, something about the arrangement is detrimental to 914, and the doctors decided to discontinue this experiment for fear of damaging it beyond repair.
• No-Sell: Not often, but sometimes the machine is unable/unwilling to damage in any way the item placed within. Once, a frustrated janitor tossed Intern Lunar's mug cat (an anomalous fusion between a cat and a mug), then kept trying to send it in Rough, only for the cat to remain whole and unchanged after going through 914 68 times. He then had the brilliant idea of changing the setting to Very Fine. The Cat Came Back with only a slight modification to its fur. Another time, a researcher tossed a laptop at the same setting; 914 returned the entire laptop, disassembled. It turned out the researcher was guilty of human trafficking and other vile charges; it's implied the force behind SCP-3922 arranged for the incident, to ensure the Foundation dispatched an attack team and a group of paramedics to save a group of people. In one case, 914 got tired of the researchers inputting the same thing on the same setting in a row too many times and refused to change the items into anything after a certain point.
• Oh, No... Not Again!: One of the scientists assigned to it, Dr. Nukea, managed to first piss off and then drag 914 to absolute despair with his insistence on sending in copies of 17 Again (2009) for processing — once chucking in literally thousands of copies of the movie. After one such incident too many, 914 produced a plastic entity made of a bunch of copies of the movie to kill Dr. Nukea. However, after a while, an earlier produced machine successfully restored Nukea. The next time he dropped by for an experiment (a pen), 914 returned an empty pen with "OH GOD NO" scribbled on the walls.
• Pet the Dog: Although 914 likes to send out dangerous or extremely finicky creations to mess with its researchers, sometimes it'll spit out something actually useful... but rarely. In one case, a technician, Johnson, sent in a bunch of cleaning supplies and a note telling 914 to give itself a fixer-upper. It spat out a lot of soot, used cleaning supplies, and a statuette of the technician which mentally influenced anyone nearby into giving him a pay raise or promotion (whichever would end up giving him more money). Notably, 914 still remembered the technician several months later and spat out an identical statuette with the same effect when a photo of him and a chunk of metal was input. A later experiment involving chocolate bunnies and clockworks produced an adorable chocolate and plastic bunny sculpture that changes anyones feelings to amusement and is strongest on him, Darby of course is unaffected and instead makes aggresive bunny noises at him.
• Please, Don't Leave Me: Its greatest fear is to be abandoned and left to rust.
• Pungeon Master: 914 is capable of some absolutely awful ones, such as "Peak hatch who?".
• Rage Quit:
  • When presented with an unfinished crossword puzzle and set to "Very Fine", instead of transmuting the puzzle, it hurled the crumpled and still unfinished crossword puzzle from its output at high velocity and on fire.
  • When a researcher attempted to play a full game of chess with it and they managed to place SCP-914 in checkmate, the chessboard was received flipped with the pieces scattered all over.
• Rule 34: Has produced pornographic imagery and texts involving "Clockwork-chan" entirely without prompting. On 1:1 setting. Yes, it came up with an anthropomorphic female version of itself and wrote/drew lewd fanfiction and fanart of itself, the most infamous example being altering its own SCP file and testing logs into what is basically a hentai fanfic of it and Maintenance Technician Johnson, resulting in Dr. Veritas ordering everyone who had seen the file to take amnestics and ordering every copy of said file to be destroyed.
• Serial Escalation:
  • While tests on the Fine setting merely improve the original object, the end results of the Very Fine setting break as much physical laws as they can get away with, usually with at least one casualty. Some are nearly given their own SCP classifications (and at least one test result actually did, though the input for that test was also an SCP item). Its greatest desire, as seen with SCP-978, is to have a setting even higher than that.
  • Cumulative/recursive tests go even further — Coarse breaks them down to the atomic scale, Fine/Very Fine increasingly improve them to the point of volatility.
• Single-Target Sexuality: It seems to have a crush on Maintenance Technician Johnson.
• Sitcom Arch-Nemesis:
  • Researcher Darby; 99% of his tests end in disaster and near death. In one particularly hilarious example, a ball inserted on Very Fine proceeded to bounce around the facility looking for Darby at crotch level.
  • To a lesser extent, it doesn't appear fond of Dr. Nukea, due to his strange fascination with 17 Again (2009).
  • It seems to have a special vendetta against Researcher Calloway, repeatedly giving him various cognitohazards that only affect him, such as one that causes him to defecate on the spot and repeatedly bang his head against a wall. He tried to apologize to it several times or otherwise make peace with written messages, leading to it giving him conflicting replies. He for his part has also tried attacking it several times, once with a grenade that it promptly gave back to him.
• Smart People Play Chess:
  • Putting in a chessboard at the 1:1 setting causes it to move the pieces as if it were the opposing player.
    Professor "Q": Yes, I've been playing chess with 914… Yes, I'm aware it's supposed to be non-sentient, but that hardly explains why it's winning.
  • For an added Easter Egg, the move it makes in the above test is a clear attempt at a scholar's mate. A later test put SCP-914's Elo at somewhere in the range of 500-800, around an average score, which means Professor Q is pretty bad at chess.
• Snarky Inanimate Object:
  • When Dr. Hertz put a music album in it containing recordings of songs he had written and performed himself, the resulting output was a CD with chapters from various audiobooks including "Learn to Sing", "Teach Yourself to Play Guitar", and "Songwriting for Dummies". This caused Dr. Hertz to attempt to attack the SCP.
  • When 914 got fed up with a researcher trying to force it to translate DVDs of Himitsu no Akko-chan into English, it printed out an article titled "5 Reasons No One Ever Helps You Out When You Ask for Favors (Spoiler: It's You)".
• Sturgeon's Law: 914's experiment log is open to the public. Naturally, most of the stuff added has had to be deleted. New log posts now go through a simple quality control process before they're posted to the log itself.
• Take That!: Many from the test log, which are full of in-jokes, sly references, and the occasional snarky output from 914.
  • One test log on a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the smartphone with an infamous battery defect that led to devices catching fire or exploding, resulted in a grenade on the 1:1 setting.
  • Feeding it a crossword puzzle resulted in 914 actually responding with frustrated confusion, and then finally ejecting the crossword at high velocity and on fire. The attending researcher notes that he can relate.
  • Likewise, not even 914 can assemble IKEA furniture correctly. Higher levels result in a chair that is almost correct, with evidence that someone had been banging on it in frustration. Trying again on Very Fine with words of encouragement resulted in 914 creating an automaton do to it instead. Said automaton was also unable to do so. Again, the attending researcher expresses sympathy. A separate test with a different furniture set resulted in the parts being assembled in the shape of a giraffe and a set of origami throwing stars made from the instructions that shot out of the output booth at speeds of up to 526 km per hour, hitting the unfortunate researcher in multiple places, including the face and the crotch.
  • Putting a Steam gift card through it on Fine results in the user being given Monopoly money.
  • Entering a sheet of paper with the GOC symbol resulted in a drawing of a monkey chewing on the barrel of a loaded gun, and a sheet with Prometheus Labs' symbol resulted in a drawing of a giant setting itself on fire.
  • When given a blu-ray of Shrek on the "Coarse" setting, it output a copy of Shrek the Third.
  • Entering a copy of Sonic Forces spat out a blank switch cartridge, to which the team noted that it was basically the same thing.
• Telepathy: It has at least some ability to read minds. When it was given a silver ring belonging to a D-class that she claimed was a family heirloom, it produced a ring engraved with "In loving memory of" and the name of one of her deceased relatives.
• Tempting Fate: A Running Gag with the scientists of Facility 19-23. Personnel very often make What Could Possibly Go Wrong? remarks and run Too Dumb to Live tests (especially last-ditch efforts to see what 914 does and/or whether they could produce something useful). Predictably, things go wrong, and sometimes very quickly. Darby's continued access to 914 is another, despite his Sitcom Archnemesis status with 914.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: It at least cares enough about its research director Lucius Veritas to understand his misery and have even the slightest idea of what makes the man happy.
• Troll: It has shades of one... one of which is apparently pink.
  I hate [EXPLETIVES REDACTED] pink! — Dr. Hale
  • Once, the janitorial team begged the scientists to put a can of cleaning agent in the hopes 914 would create something useful for cleaning. The annoyed researcher, utterly confident that it would horribly backfire, agreed if the janitors would accept the consequences. Instead of the expected catastrophe, the machine created a miniature harpsichord with anomalous strings made from the cleaning agent, which has a sudsing effect on dirty surfaces whenever it's properly played. The scientist accepted that she only had herself to blame, knowing of 914's tendency to play with expectations - even if they are of the usual disaster.
  • The other way to control 914's results is relying on the inherent randomness of the machine to eventually cough up the desired results. That said, given that 914 is sentient, it's not amused by the repetitive testing and will find other ways to screw with the offending researcher.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: SCP-914 is terrified of SCP-882, a conglomeration of gears that consumes all metal objects it comes in contact with. When Dr. Stern put a photo of 882 into the intake booth, the first output was two pieces of paper shaped like the letters N and O, several hundred tiny scraps of paper, and one small puddle of brownish ink. The second test produced a piece of paper with the word "NO" in 83 different languages and a series of cognitohazardous symbols that caused fear and discomfort when viewed. The third test resulted in an origami model that, when unfolded, resembled a human body torn into four pieces. Dr. Stern wisely decided to cancel the fourth test.
• Wild Card: Infamously so. It can produce everything from the highly dangerous, to the uniquely anomalous , to things very beneficial to mankind, or something completely mundane. You typically reap what you sow with 914 and should remain safe as long as you don't push common sense, but it does sometimes get... creative. Yet most of the things it produces are worth a look even if worthless, if you can accept the risk that you won't know if it might reduce you to atoms instead until you try.

SCP- 953 — Polymorphic Humanoid

SCP-953 - Polymorphic Humanoid

SCP-953 mid-transformation. The green lights represent her tails.

Author: Dr Clef

Posted: October 2nd, 2008

SCP-953 is a female red fox with a spine that splits into nine separate tails. The fox displays polymorphic properties, allowing it to take the form of various other objects and beings, primarily an attractive Korean woman, thus revealing her to actually be a Kumiho of Korean folklore. She will still display some vulpine aspect in all of her alternate forms, which can serve to identify her should she attempt a disguise. In addition to her polymorphic abilities, 953 displays moderate psionic abilities, such as mental suggestion and telepathy. While insufficient to fool an outside observer, an entranced subject can easily be convinced of a variety of falsehoods. She is a manipulative, sadistic, and incredibly hostile entity who is known to primarily eat human livers as a source of sustenance. She has also used her tricks to deceive police officers, convince a mother to roast and eat her own child, carry out acts of necrophilia, and systematically murder 27 attendees of a furry convention for no other reason than her own amusement.

---

• The Ageless: According to The Wanderer's Library, there are no recorded natural deaths for a demon fox like her, suggesting that she can only die in battle or from an unforeseen accident.
• Alas, Poor Villain: In "Da Capo al Fine" (a Tale that is part of the Unfounded Canon Hub^note a canon that posits a world where the SCP Foundation doesn't exist, and yet most things still turn out the same), SCP-953 is eventually killed while trying to attack a furry convention and some staff members of the Wanderer's Library mourn her. When Sigurrós Stefánsdóttir asks why, they admit that while she was an Asshole Victim, they still feel sadness because she was apparently the Last of Her Kind and "it's always sad when something disappears from this world."
• All Myths Are True: The Sole Survivor of the team sent to capture her only does so because he remembers the tales his grandmother told him (note the similarity between the After-Action Report and the tale of The Fox Sister). While a Foundation scientist ridicules the idea in favor of a more scientific approach, several escape attempts causing fatalities convince everyone concerned that this folklore needs to be taken seriously, and may well have been a crude version of Special Containment Procedures.
• And Show It to You: When one of the agents was sleeping with her, she sadistically tore off his testicles and showed them to him before killing him.
• Asian Fox Spirit: The team sent to capture her think she's the kitsune, but she isn't. Instead, she's a kumiho, which only one member of the team recognizes. It ends up saving his ass. As matter of fact, being called a kitsune serves as her Berserk Button. The Wanderer's Library specifically describes her as being part of a race of "demon foxes".
• Ax-Crazy: She is hostile to human life and extremely dangerous. She can penetrate a person's abdomen with her hand and extract the victim's liver with surgical precision, but prefers to slowly torture her prey.
• Berserk Button: Being called a kitsune. "Personnel asking what the difference is are to be reminded of the difference between a Cherokee Indian and a New Delhi Indian". And Mekhane help you if you're a furry, as she's been on record as killing 27 attendees of a furry convention.
• Call a Pegasus a "Hippogriff": Invoked In-Universe. Kitsune and kumiho are similar in appearance, but not so much behavior. The distinction is a major plot point in the capture report. The Korean agent is aware that kumihos are Always Chaotic Evil, which ends up saving his life. The Japanese agents, on the other hand, think of 953 as a kitsune, who may be friendly and even form a bond with a human. Guess how well that turns out for them.
• Charm Person: Has somewhat weak mind manipulation abilities, but those who fall under her sway will more or less do anything she asks. These things include roasting and cannibalizing one's own child, allowing her to perform necrophilia upon the corpse of an entranced person's fiancé in full view, and succeed in serial murder with zero repercussions, among other effects.
• Cunning Like a Fox: She's a nine-tailed fox spirit - a kumiho - and as such, is incredibly wily.
• The Fair Folk: This is technically what a kumiho is, but her sheer malevolence makes the Court Unseelie look perfectly benign by comparison.
• Faux Affably Evil: She likes to play up a Yamato Nadeshiko image. An excellent way to lure her victims into a trap.
• Foul Fox: SCP-953 is a sadistic, cruel, Ax-Crazy fox demon and one of the most actively malevolent entities contained by the Foundation.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: Has glowing yellow eyes, regardless of its form. See Morphic Resonance.
• Godzilla Threshold: She's seen as so dangerous that the Serpent's Hand is mentioned discussing potentially better containment procedures with the SCP Foundation to prevent any further escapes.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Of the Revenge variety. She has a fantastic memory and remembers anyone who has caused any slight to her and tries to enact revenge on them the first chance she gets. Also the main reason some of the Foundation staff are trying to get higher security to contain her than the dog kennels listed below. It's very heavily implied that the current containment measures are nowhere near sufficient, that she knows this, and that she's just playing the game until the perfect escape and the perfect opportunity to butcher everyone in the Foundation who has ever angered her intersect.
• Humanoid Abomination: Downplayed. Her human form is beautiful, but at her core, she's still a vicious seductress who can and will charm you into doing whatever she wants.
• I Have Many Names: The SCP-Foundation calls her "SCP-953", and classifies her as a "polymorphic humanoid". The Global Occult Coalition has given her the designation "KTE-1208-Green-Burrhus-Kewpie". The Wanderer's Library calls her "The Millenary Nine-tailed Fox", and has also recorded her being called "The Vixen" or "That Damned Vixen".
• I Love the Dead: Has, on at least one occasion, used the powers of Charm Person to perform acts of necrophilia upon an agent's fiancé in full view of said agent. Whether this was out of preference or spite is unknown.
• Insistent Terminology: She's not a kitsune, she's a kumiho. As noted above, the two are as different as a Cherokee Indian and a New Delhi Indian. Not only are kumihos from Korea, they are Always Chaotic Evil, always female spirits who need to consume human hearts and livers for survival. Basically, the only similarity is that both are shapeshifting fox-spirits with illusionary powers.
• Last of His Kind: She is the only known surviving kumiho left in the modern world. She is technically survived by the Serpent's Hand member "Hu", who is a Half-Human Hybrid White Sheep born from a union in 1516 between SCP-953 and Woo-chi Jŏn, the spiritual founder of the Korean chapter of the Serpent's Hand.
• Literal Maneater: Violently murders a team member during sex, and it's suggested that the only survivor of the massacre has an unhealthy fascination for her. You should keep the Furry Fandom away, too.
• Made of Iron: Can take gunshots from a .45 with little issue. However, it is assumed by the Foundation that she can be killed with guns anyway in an emergency.
• Morphic Resonance: Any form she takes has some fox-like features (ears, tail, paws, yellow glowing eyes, fur, voice, mannerisms).
• Multiple-Tailed Beast: Has nine tails. If the Wanderer's Library is to be believed, each tail grown represents a century of life up to the ninth tail, after which no more tails are grown as the kumiho continues to survive.
• Noodle Incident: The last time she escaped (which was the sixth total time she had escaped), she ended up at a furry convention where she killed more than two dozen attendees and convention staff. Apparently, something else happened to her there, because when Foundation agents arrived to recapture her, she appeared listless and apathetic, and didn't resist. She hasn't killed anyone or attempted to escape Foundation custody since then.
• Picky People Eater: SCP-953 can reach inside a person's abdomen, extract their liver, and swallow it whole.
• Psychic Powers: She has the psionic powers of suggestion and telepathy.
• Red Right Hand: She can disguise herself as a human, but there will always be some fox-like part of her body (such as her ears or tail) that she can't cover up.
• Sadist: While her diet requires a steady supply of human livers for her continued survival, it's very clear that she enjoys bewitching people and ruining their lives for nothing more than her own personal amusement.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: Elder Jŏn was able to imprison her in a pocket dimension ("Peach Blossom Land") from 1568 to 1795 before she eventually escaped back to Korea. She was then captured by the SCP Foundation in 1945 and has been (more or less) their prisoner ever since. It's heavily implied that she may have figured out how to escape a long time ago, and is just biding her time until she sees the perfect opportunity for the most bloody, violent, gruesome revenge she can muster.
• Shapeshifter Longevity: According to the article itself, her first encounter with the Foundation was shortly after the Second World War, though supplementary materials indicate that she's been a murderous shapeshifting sadist for about fourteen hundred years by the present day... and other tales suggest that she's even older than that.
• Shapeshifting Trickster: In-between eating humans, she loves to play sick tricks on them, seemingly purely For the Evulz. Just one examples consists of her tricking a mother into eating her own child. Also, when a team of agents arrives to apprehend her, she mentally dominates them and feeds them meat with rice... only for the meat to turn out to be rotting human flesh along with the rice being live maggots.
• Telepathy: SCP-953 uses its telepathic ability to find out what its opponents' loved ones look like. It then uses its Voluntary Shapeshifting ability to take the form of one of the loved ones.
• To Serve Man: Like the mythological kumiho she resembles, she has a preference for the heart and the liver, but will eat any human flesh she can get.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Aside from human livers, she seems to like plum wine enough that it's used as a 'luxury item' to use as a reward for good behavior.
• The Vamp: She seemingly exploited this to bite off an agent's genitals, before showing them to him and proceeding to tear out his liver.
• Time Abyss: When she first met Elder Jŏn in 1516, she claimed to have been over 900 years as evidenced by her nine tails. In the present day, she is over 1400 years old, and is likely even older than that. Her daughter Hu even claims that her mother has slaughtered and ate countless people for multiple millenia.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: SCP-953 normally has the form of a small red fox, but can take the form of objects and living creatures, including that of an attractive Korean woman.
• Weaksauce Weakness: The (mostly) Immune to Bullets murderous fox demon turns into a quivering, terrified wreck at the sight of dogs. This is because in kumiho folklore, dogs wouldn't be fooled by the kumiho's disguise (as they'd notice she still smelled like a fox) and would chase her as if she were a normal fox.
• Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She has a fear of dogs, so her containment procedures involve her containment chamber being lined with open-cage dog kennels.
• Worf Had the Flu: A rather worrying case is revealed in the article the Wanderer's Library has on her — Apparently, every demon fox has a "fox's marble", what appears to be a glass bead formed from the life essence of those they've consumed that elevates their magical talent by five to ten times. Thankfully, Elder Jŏn was able to take her marble (implicitly after seducing her) and consumed it, turning himself into a male demon fox before he imprisoned her in a pocket dimension for over 200 years. While she eventually escaped and is still incredibly dangerous, her magical power is now only a fifth of what it once was.
• Yamato Nadeshiko: Invoked at times to increase her mental hold over her victims. The after-action interview actually notes that [Agent 1] calls her this explicitly, though the data is blacked out.

SCP- 990 — Dream Man

SCP-990 - Dream Man

Artist's depiction of SCP-990.

Author: Dave Rapp

Posted: January 12th, 2009

"You look afraid. Don't be afraid. This is a dream. The last dream you may ever have, for nightmares are coming."

SCP-990, nicknamed the "Dream Man" by witnessess, is a man dressed in a Cold War-era business suit who appears to Foundation personnel in their dreams, where he talks to them and gives them vague hints about coming disasters. As of yet, no personnel have encountered him in the real world, nor have there been any reports of him appearing in the dreams of people outside the Foundation. It is left unknown at this time if he causes the disasters he foretells, or merely hints at their approach.

---

• Affably Evil: If he's responsible for the events in his warnings, he's a remarkably sporting and fair creature.
• Ambiguously Evil: It's unclear whether his predictions of catastrophic events are threats or just helpful warnings.
• Dark Is Not Evil: He's a Keter-class man wearing a black suit who only shows up in nightmares... and is only classified as Keter because he is absolutely uncontainable and anything he warns about always requires urgent attention. Otherwise, he's a perfectly Nice Guy that tells people about future dangers.
• Decoy Protagonist: In SCP-001-KLN, he's portrayed as the hero he claims to be, is immune to the effects and malice of the aliens, and helps O5-2 get away from the chaos and relay some information about the aliens' raison-d'etre, suggesting he will be the true protagonist of the Foundation's resistance efforts. However, the aliens somehow find him, and he dies for good the next time O5-2 meets him. In his stead, he's replaced with a separate entity serving as the head honcho's Mouth of Sauron.
• Destructive Savior: He gives people all the information they need to prevent disasters. If only he could do it without overloading their minds with trauma and putting them to sleep for days, he might actually be the hero he thinks he is.
• Dreaming of Things to Come: His purpose, more or less, is to clear up the symbolism of prophetic dreams and bluntly tell people what's going to happen. Whether he causes this is unknown.
• The End of the World as We Know It: Competitive Eschatology canon again. He's a World Ender, one of the deific figures summoned by the Harbringer to end the world. Unlike Yahweh, Fenris, Yaldabaoth, and others, however, he's trying to make sure humanity comes out on top.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Warns the interviewer about an unknown female SCP that he refers to as "the bad guy." When the interviewer tells him there's no such SCP by that number, he replies that she hasn't been born yet, but ominously adds "She will."
• Nice Guy: A little morbid and strange to be certain, but he only showed his existence to the Foundation to help them stop a nuclear war and seemed genuinely perturbed when his chosen "prophet" for that died.
• Noble Demon: If he's responsible for the events in his warnings, he's a remarkably sporting and fair creature.
• Our Founder: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, he's the founder of the Foundation. It's unknown how or why he became anomalous, if he wasn't to begin with.
• Rhetorical Question Blunder: He defensively asks if his predictions have caused any harm, clearly expecting to be told "no." At which point a doctor informs him that the last guy to receive one died of shock.
• The Rival: In Competitive Eschatology, his relations with the current Foundation administrator is... strained.
• The Men in Black: The most striking feature people remember about him is that he looks like this, with his "Cold War era business suit."
• Screw Destiny: His ultimate goal, it seems, is to stop a more hostile SCP who hasn't been born yet, and he helps people do this himself.
• You Can't Fight Fate: Some of the things he warns about happen anyway.

SCP- 993 — Bobble the Clown

SCP-993 - Bobble the Clown

Still image from an episode of SCP-993: 'Bobble's Kitchen Surprise'

Author: Tanhony

Posted: August 25th, 2011

"You're very selfish, taking me away from the children like that, you know."

SCP-993 is a children's educational cartoon titled Bobble the Clown. The primary plot of most episodes features the titular character, a clown named "Bobble", learning a new skill or activity. The show's anomalous properties become obvious when viewed. Anyone ten years of age or older will immediately fall unconscious when the show begins and will remain incapacitated until it ends. Children under the age of ten have reported that Bobble teaches and advocates activities such as arson, stalking, cannibalism, murder, and torture. These activities appear to become ingrained in the minds of all conscious viewers, and repeated exposure can result in permanent psychotic and schizophrenic symptoms.

A list of his appearances can be found here. For tropes regarding his "show" visit here.

---

• Art Evolution: Bobble's initial character image was far more realistic looking, and was later redrawn to make it more clear that he is a cartoon character.
• Ax-Crazy: Bobble loves murder, torture, arson, cannibalism, and [DATA EXPUNGED].
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Anyone under 10 who watches the show will regularly do the things he teaches them (arson, cannibalism, etc) until the Foundation erases all memories of the show from the child's mind.
• Corrupt the Cutie: Kids who watch enough episodes of Bobble the Clown develop psychotic and schizophrenic tendencies. In Behind the Scenes, he claims that he's "been making little savages for quite a while now."
• Curb-Stomp Battle: During a test with SCP-3922, He promptly shoots down the 3922-A spaceships and disintegrates their soldiers.
• Depraved Kids' Show Host: What else can you call a kid's show host that teaches kids to murder, torture, and stalk people?
• Eldritch Abomination: A sentient TV show. What's more, it claims to have had attempted existing in previous forms (wrap your head around that one), namely cave paintings. The way it affects the real world is inconsistent and tenuous, able to kidnap people and film them, but not fight back against its containment procedures.
• Even Evil Has Standards: In the logs accompanying SCP-1730, which take place in an alternate timeline where the Foundation became much more brutal and cruel after fusing with the Global Occult Coalition, even he is horrified by Dr. Emerson's mass slaughter and torture of humanoid SCPs and the brutal experiments he conducted.
  Bobble: How many, hee hee hee, how many entities were swallowed by Site-13? (laughs) You silly silly out of place boy. Silly little boy. Everything made its way into Site-13. If the Foundation could find it and the Coalition could catch it, it was fed into the meat grinder down here. Everything. They mulched us all, if there was nothing to gain. Some got lucky. Bobble got lucky. Stuffed in a funny box and played with. Toyed with. Experimented with. To see what sounds we made when we wanted to die. Others were not so lucky.
• Faux Affably Evil: Bobble initially acts like a friendly kid show host despite the contents of his show being anything but kid-friendly, but upon his episodes being blocked by the Foundation he has a Villainous Breakdown (represented by the last two episodes being named "Bobble Hates You" and "[EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU" respectively) in which threateningly stares at the camera and he angrily details methods of breaching several SCPs and killing researchers involved in his containment.
• The Gadfly: In the Competitive Eschatology, he seems to take enjoyment out of saying things that annoy SCP-343.
• Harmful to Minors: Bobble's show teaches children to become murderers, cannibals, and arsonists. Sounds like good, wholesome educational programming.
• Horsemen of the Apocalypse: He is War in the Competitive Eschatology canon.
• I Know You're Watching Me: After the Foundation blocked the show's signal, the episode "Bobble Hates You" was aired, which consisted of Bobble sitting on a chair and staring angrily at the viewer for a full half hour. He followed this up with the episode "[EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU", where he detailed methods of breaching containment for several particularly dangerous SCPs and murdering researchers involved in getting the show off the air.
• I'm a Humanitarian: The very first episode detailed has Bobble kidnap some poor citizen, who he later skins, guts and cooks.
• Immune to Bullets: As shown in Behind the Scenes, where the first thing he says is that bullet can't hurt him, since he isn't real...
• Invisible to Adults: Anyone at or over the age of 10 who tries to view an episode of Bobble the Clown immediately falls unconscious and stays that way until the program ends. To document Bobble's escapades, the Foundation shows them to children and then doses them with amnestics once they're finished describing what they saw.
• It Can Think: At first, the SCP just seems like it's a collection of disturbing cartoons with some supernatural phenomena attached. Then the last two observed episodes reveal that it's aware that the Foundation is blocking its signal. And it's pissed.
• Logical Weakness: He can only affect things through his show, so the Foundation can completely contain him by intercepting the show's signal, hence his 'safe' rating. Bobble can do no more than glare angrily and broadcast an anti-foundation episode (which is also intercepted).
• Magical Clown: Bobble is implied to be an Eldritch Abomination in the guise of an educational cartoon character.
• Psychopathic Manchild: Not surprising, seeing as he's an evil kids' show host and a psychotic Monster Clown.
• Psycho Knife Nut: At least two episodes feature him carving up victims, one of them a Foundation doctor, with a huge butcher's knife. His current character image shows him wielding a meat cleaver.
• Pyromaniac: In the episode "Bobble in the Big City," Bobble teaches viewers how to light fires undetected and burns down a large building with numerous people inside before walking away.
• Really 700 Years Old: He apparently introduced mankind to fire and inspired the Navajo legends of skinwalkers. Or so he says.
• Skin Walker: Claims that it's one of his previous forms, implying he was the basis of the myth.
• The Stoner: Giving him SCP-420-J resulted in a new episode of his show being aired called "Bobble Gets Baked", divided into 3 segments — "How To Roll the Perfect Doobie," "How To Make a Bong Out of Found Materials" and "How To Take Over the Regional Black Market Drug Trade With Ruthless Efficiency."
• Subverted Kids' Show: Bobble the Clown is most definitely NOT a show for kids. It is about a clown teaching the viewer various useful life skills, which all involve violence or other disturbing actions.
• Token Evil Teammate: Among the Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Competitive Eschatology canon — Conquest (231-7) simply quits out of protest, the Pale Horse (682) becomes The Atoner upon awakening, Death (053) does not appear to be all that different than how she normally is and Famine (027) is shown to be reasonable and in general comes off as more of a mystical force than a "person". This leaves Bobble as the only one who comes off as truly malevolent.
• Villainous Breakdown: The last episode log "'[EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU'" comes off like this, where Bobble angrily details methods of breaching containment for several SCPs and murdering researchers involved in his containment.
  "Setting of the episode appears to be Site ██'s video archive, where recordings of SCP-993 are stored. In the episode, Bobble angrily details methods of breaching containment for several SCPs. Bobble then details methods to murder researchers involved in its containment, showing detailed knowledge of their daily routines and habits. Notably, what appears to be an animated version of Dr. ████ walks past Bobble halfway through the episode. A clock on the wall shows the time as ██:██ PM. Dr. ████ confirms that he was walking past SCP-993's archive at the time."
• Would Hurt a Child: He brainwashes children into committing horrible acts, including torturing and killing other kids.

SCP- 999 — The Tickle Monster

SCP-999 - The Tickle Monster

A depiction of SCP-999 by ProfSnider.

Author: ProfSnider

Posted: February 3rd, 2009

SCP-999 is one of the most benevolent entities in Foundation custody. It’s an amorphous mass of orange slime with a consistency similar to peanut butter. 999 is easily malleable and can change shape at will, though when at rest, it becomes a rounded, oblate dome roughly 2 meters wide and 1 meter in height. 999 is described as playful and dog-like in behavior. When approached, it will often react with overwhelming elation, slithering over to the nearest person and leaping on them, "hugging" and "nuzzling" them with pseudopods while emitting high-pitched gurgling and cooing noises. Simply touching 999 causes immediate mild euphoria, which intensifies the longer one is exposed to it. Its favorite activity is "tickle-wrestling", often by completely enveloping a person from the neck down and tickling them until asked to stop. While the creature will interact with anyone, it seems to have a special interest in those who are unhappy in any way. People suffering from crippling depression or PTSD have reported having a far more positive outlook on life after multiple interactions with 999. Though its behavior is infantile, it seems to understand human speech and most modern technology. 999’s diet consists entirely of candy and sweets, M&M’s and Necco wafers being its favorites, which it consumes in a manner similar to an amoeba.

---

• Adorable Abomination: SCP-999 is a small, happy and friendly orange blob that's absolutely adorable. And according to one story, it's also a child of the Scarlet King, a horrifically evil and extremely powerful Eldritch Abomination. The Foundation believes that, if it's raised with love and allowed to grow to its full potential, it may have the power to reform the Scarlet King himself.
• All Animals Are Dogs: Acts like a dog, anyway.
• All-Loving Hero: SCP-999 has unlimited love and compassion to all it encounters, including SCP-682. In fact, SCP-999 risks its own safety to save the lives of others as much as possible.
• Anti Anti Christ: According to New Job, 999 is the thing that 231-7 was carrying, and thus a child of the Scarlet King. However, the 7th Bride of the Scarlet King, unlike her sisters, gave birth to heroes instead of monsters.
• Badass Adorable: A friendly, cute little blob of jello that spreads happiness through touch and gets in tickle fights with 682. It even rescues hapless staff and comforts the survivors when 682 makes another murderous rampage-escape attempt.
• Beware the Silly Ones: As adorable and silly as it seems on the surface, it's surprisingly willing to (and able to) Take the Bullet for innocent people, and one Tale implies that it is actually an Anti Anti Christ who will help redeem malevolent Eldritch Abominations — including the Scarlet King himself!
• Breakout Character: He is the most iconic heroic SCP and is basically the series' mascot.
• Creepy Good: On the surface, SCP-999 should be objectively terrifying considering how it's a two-meter-tall Blob Monster that forcibly grabs people with pseudopods. However, it's so weirdly adorable and genuinely friendly that it's almost impossible not to like it.
• Cuddle Bug: It likes to hug people with its pseudopods.
• Fantastic Drug: Touching it induces a drug-like euphoria in people, and seems to alleviate the symptoms of depression and PTSD, if not outright cure them, with no negative side effects whatsoever.
• Friend to All Living Things: It loves all forms of life, including SCP-682! After the two were put into a cell together, 999 requested another encounter, seemingly seeing it as a 'play date'.
• Friendly Tickle Torture: Its favorite activity, it envelops a person from the neck down and tickles them until asked to stop (though it does not always comply with this request, but it always seems to feel guilty when it realizes that it has gone too far).
• Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: Its interaction with SCP-682 had it force 682 into become happy against its will, despite the lizard trying to crush and kill it as soon as they met.
• Good Cannot Comprehend Evil: How does it respond to 682 trying to murder it and escape? It thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and asked for another 'play date.'
• Immune to Bullets: Thanks to being a gelatinous blob, 999 cannot be harmed by bullets.
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: It shows no ill will towards anyone or anything, even in the face of the Foundation canon's greatest evils.
• Klatchian Coffee: Personnel are not allowed to give SCP-999 soda, because the last time somebody did, it was literally bouncing off the walls for half an hour. It was visibly queasy afterwards and had a mild Heroic BSoD for the rest of the day, refusing to move or eat.
• Let Us Never Speak of This Again: In one experiment with 914, a small amount of 999's slime was inserted into 914 on the Very Fine setting, resulting in a small, evil, garlic-smelling blue blob that ended up being eaten by 999. After this, mentioning "Incident E-999-A" to 999 will result in it ignoring the person who brought it up and wandering off to play with someone else.
• Nice Guy: It's nice to everyone and everything it meets, even 682! The only exception ever was E-999-A.
• No Biological Sex: It does not seem to have a biological gender and is usually referred to as "it", although some stories use "he" pronouns for it.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: 999 is ordinarily an all-loving being that shows love even to the evilest possible monsters, the fact it acts hostile to E-999-A (a clone of it the Foundation created) is surprising to say the least.
• Psychic Powers: It's implied to have at least some psychic abilities, considering how it always smells like someone's personal favorite smell and it can even alleviate clinical depression and PTSD by immersing itself around the victim.
• Related in the Adaptation: In "New Job", it's not only the offspring of both the Scarlet King and SCP-231-7, but it's also SCP-682's half-brother.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: The complete opposite of 682, who is its half-sibling, according to lore that says they are both children of the Scarlet King. Also, its cloned younger "sibling" E-999-A is blue, garlic-scented, and hostile to everything.
• Sweet Tooth: Its diet is composed entirely of sweets. M&Ms and wafers are its favorite.
• Taking the Bullet: SCP-999 loves all animals (including humans) so much that it will leap in front of a person to take a bullet fired at them.
• Team Pet: Is allowed to wander the site and the staff generally treat it like a well loved family pet.
• Took a Level in Badass: In the joke article SCP-999-JP-J, after what happened in the experiment with SCP-682, SCP-999 realized that he had to become stronger in order to protect everyone. After taking advantage of the containment breach to escape and seek training, SCP-999 returns to the Foundation with a body of steel and a new tickling technique.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Its favorite candies are M&Ms and Necco wafers.
• The Unintelligible: SCP-999 does not talk, and only makes gurgling and cooing noises.
• Your Favorite: With scents instead of food. SCP-999 emits a smell that is pleasing to every person who comes into contact with it, but the smell is different for each person. Different people have reported it smelling like chocolate, fresh laundry, bacon, roses, and Play-Doh.
