Explained SCPs

An SCP is considered explained when it is no longer considered to be anomalous due to being proven to not be abnormal, becoming so widespread that nobody thinks they are abnormal anymore, or successfully finessing the Foundation into thinking they aren't there. They are still considered in-universe articles.

SCP-0000-EX - Lost

SCP-0000 is the feeling of Déjà Vu. The origins of it, however, are buried in some of the Foundation's most bitter memories...

• Alternate Universe: It's mentioned that 14 parallel worlds were erased to power some kind of alert system that forms SCP-0000, which eventually broke and became the comparatively useless feeling of Déjà Vu. SCP-0000 escalates into reality failure because in a population of 72 billion human souls, it's guaranteed a decent chunk of them will want vengeance. So they manipulated the system to try and take back control.
• Arc Words: "Does the future dream?"
• Create Your Own Villain: Left unchecked, the insurgency of souls rebelling against the Foundation's alert system will destabilize reality on Earth by tearing every human on the planet out of our plane of existence. And everything, from start to finish, will be the Foundation's fault.
• Déjà Vu: It's apparently the result of some kind of defective precognition system the Foundation installed in humans. Considering it's powered by the souls of Alternate Universes who didn't get a say in the matter, this doesn't end well.
• Downer Ending: O5-12 willingly ignores the letter addressed to them regarding SCP-0000, and logs off without a second thought.
• Hard Truth Aesop: You cannot forget your sins if you want to move past them. You will always, always have to remember the full weight of them, and even though it may hurt, the consequences for forgetting will always be worse.
• I Did What I Had to Do: The writer of the letter at the end admits it was probably not a good thing when the Foundation erased 14 parallel worlds for the survival of their own. But at the same time, they were facing an equally-cataclysmic anomaly.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: To stop SCP-0000 from completing its rebellion and collapsing reality, the Overseers wipe the memories of everyone on Earth. Again, and again, and again. Whatever method used did not function on the immortal council. So they took it a step further, and erased their entire minds. The author of the letter isn't even sure how, or what came after that.
• Meta Twist: SCP-0000-EX is properly filed in the list of explained anomalies, and while the anomaly is still out there, it's kind of like 8900-EX in that it's so widespread as to be irrelevant. There's even plenty of mentions of amnesticization. Except 0000 isn't just Déjà Vu. It's the terrible, terrible things the Foundation did that resulted in its creation, and how they almost doomed the world letting it run amok.

SCP-012-EX - Eurydice

SCP-012-EX is the feeling of being watched by monsters in the dark. The Foundation originally sank countless resources into the belief that these monsters were real, but abandoned the project and declared the SCP an -EX due to the declining mental health of its leader calling its credibility into question.

---

• Apologetic Attacker: The instance that kills Dr. Richardson is suggested to be weeping over its actions when it is discovered by several human agents, and leaves in a panic attack after they try to get a visual on it.
• Beware the Quiet Ones: SCP-012-EX is content to just watch, but it's strongly implied they killed Dr. Richardson and removed the evidence because he figured out they were real.
• It Can Think: Considering SCP-012-EX is strongly implied to be real, the killing of Dr. Richardson also suggests they're sapient, as they were reacting to his work and orchestrated a break-in only a sapient being could possibly conceive.
• Killed to Uphold the Masquerade: Ultimately suggested to be Dr. Richardson's fate at the hands of SCP-012-EX, an intensely ironic death for a member of an organization that enforces The Masquerade themselves.
• Out-Gambitted: The monsters pull The Masquerade over the very organization that prides itself on doing that themselves, and escape undetected without any repentance for their crimes.
• Real After All: The general theme of the article is that Dr. Richardson was right about SCP-012-EX being real, but they're smart enough to hide the evidence.

SCP-711-EX - Man from the future/present

• The Everyman: Poor guy from our time got sent back in time and his gadgets were seen as SCPs.
• Deliberate Values Dissonance: It is not specified exact how long the man was sent back, but the language of the document, especially the use of the word "negro" still being commonplace, implies that the poor guy was definitely sent back to a time predating the Civil Rights Movement, likely the early 20th century.
• Unlucky Everydude: Imprisoned by the SCP when he was sent back in time. He eventually died in imprisonment, with all his requests to be taken back to his own time being ignored by the higher-ups of the Temporal Anomalies Department.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Not the man himself, but the writer of the SCP refers to him as a "negro".
• What the Hell, Hero?: Dr. Xyank of the Temporal Anomalies Department repeatedly requests to take the guy back to his own time after it was verified that he was non-anomalous. They were all denied, and Xyank makes his displeasure with the Foundation for pointlessly keeping the poor guy imprisoned until he died quite clear.

SCP-1851-EX - Drapetomania

• Deliberate Values Dissonance: The whole file is shaped by the racist attitudes of the 19th century.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: In-Universe. It's an old article from a 19th-century precursor organisation to the Foundation. The "anomaly" is founded not in research and more the racial beliefs and propaganda of the time.
• Historical In-Joke: "Drapetomania" was a "mental disorder" believed to affect slaves who desired their freedom in the real-world 1800s USA.
• Master Race: The writer of the document tends to mention "white masters" and "inferior statuses".
• Old Shame: In-Universe. Dr. Cartwright might have rigorously believed the highly racist beliefs he was spewing when he drafted the original document, but one of his descendants later tries to have it quietly deleted from from the Foundation's archives, due to how badly it reflects on his family's legacy.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Whoever makes a document passing off a "Negro" slave's want for freedom as an anomalous mental disorder is not going to be looked on upon in a good light nowadays. One of his descendants, painfully aware of this fact, later attempts to have the document deleted as a result.
• Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: Word of God states that the point of the article was to show the horrors of slavery.
  It's the most horrific thing I could think of, and it happened.
• Warts and All: In 1916, after the language of the document has been rendered unacceptable and highly offensive, a member of the later generations of the Cartwright family puts in a request for it, as well all copies and all records of it being destroyed, due to his family involvement with the racist politics expressed in the document having been rendered an invoked Old Shame. The O5 council refuses this requests, and basically tells Dr. Cartwright that they won't whitewash history just for his or his family's sake, and that it is better that they remember the organisation's ugly past than try to sweep it under the rug and pretend it never existed.
• Wham Line: Partway through, the slaves used by the foundation are referred to as the "Drapetomaniac Class". Ever wonder what the D in "D-Class" stood for? There's the answer.

SCP-2011-EX - Temporary Secretary

SCP-2011-EX is Paul McCartney's "Temporary Secretary." It is allegedly a memetic hazard that causes people who listen to it to behave irrationally, much to O5-4's disdain.

---

• Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: While SCP-1926-1 doesn't replace Paul in this timeline, he is a thaumaturgist that gets kicks out of writing mediocre music that compels people to make complete fools of themselves.
• Brown Note: Listening to the song induces irrational behavior in its victims. The SCP is discovered because O5-4 winds up driving into a ditch because of this; whereas any normal person would dismiss it as a coincidence, the Overseers are too professional to have that kind of incompetence or lack of emotional intelligence, and they know it.
• It's All About Me: The Foundation believes O5-4 is making everything up because they don't want to admit they're a terrible driver. Or are they?
• Real After All: Paul is in fact a skilled thaumaturgist, and gave "Temporary Secretary" and "Wonderful Christmastime" (SCP-6211) their properties on purpose.
• Take That!: This SCP and its sequel SCP-6211 both effectively call McCartney's discography mediocre at best, if not outright terrible enough to make O5-4 want to crash their car.

SCP-8900-EX - Sky Blue Sky

• The Bad Guy Wins: It's an SCP that bested all of the Foundation's attempts to contain it or create a countermeasure and it succeeded in affecting all of Earth's population. The aftermath of its victory is why we see color as it is today.
  05-8: Gentlemen, we have failed. SCP-8900's effects have become so widespread as to be commonplace. The natural blue of the sky has been replaced with a gross and unnatural shade, and the green of trees has been equally corrupted. SCP-8900 has brought ruin down upon the entire visible spectrum, and we have been overrun.
• Coloring in the World: The SCP's effects are implied to be the very reason we see color as it is today. Before SCP-8900-EX spread its influence through colored photographs and more, the world used to be more black-and-white. The SCP Foundation had to utilize a world-scale variant of Laser-Guided Amnesia to make people think the way color is today was always like that.
• Monochrome Past: The past was black-and-white, until an unexplained anomaly created the colors we see today. All photographs are color photographs, what we think of as the advance of photo technology is actually just the effect spreading.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: The Foundation releases an amnestic into the atmosphere to make everyone forget that the world's colors used to be different.

International SCPs

Out-of-universe, the SCP Foundation website has gained a large international following, at first with just translating articles, but also writing their own. Note that some sites (Such as SCP-CN and SCP-PL) format their SCPs as SCP-INT-###, while others (such as SCP-JP or SCP-FR) format their SCPs as SCP-###-INT.

Chinese SCPs

SCP-CN-994 - I See You (Epilepsy Warning)

• Dead-End Room: Doors and windows in rooms affected by SCP-CN-994 become impossible to open from the inside, leaving the subject trapped until the room is breached from the outside.
• Driven to Suicide: To date, all victims of SCP-CN-994 have attempted suicide. Amnestics reduce the effect but do not eliminate it completely, and the suicidal urges come back even worse when the subject next finds themselves in a confined space.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Hence the "meta" tag. Shortly after opening the article, the text will be replaced by countless repetitions of the text "I see you" flashing across the screen (hence the epilepsy warning), which will itself be replaced by a giant ASCII art eyeball and a notification that MTF GengWu-23 has seen you and is en route to break you out.
• Haunted Headquarters: The anomaly manifests at random in enclosed spaces at Site CN-34. But may not be restricted just to that site...
• The Walls Have Eyes: One of the anomaly's effects is causing eyes to appear on surfaces surrounding the victim. Including your device's screen.
• Word-Salad Horror: Electronic devices being used during SCP-CN-994 manifestations will display large amounts of meaningless text. Or maybe not so meaningless I SEE YOUI SEE YOUI SEE YOUI SEE YOUI SEE YOUI SEE YOUI SEE YOUI SEE YOUI SEE YOU

SCP-CN-2510 - Metanormalcy

SCP-CN-2510 is the end of all anomalies, much like the English branch's SCP-6500. However, because countless laws of reality are in truth the edicts of gods and the byproducts of other SCPs, this means reality itself is in danger of collapsing long before anyone could have any hope of finding a way to reverse the damage.

At the end of everything, the fate of The Multiverse hinges between a statue and the irredeemable. It is here that the truth of the Foundation's mission and the last two anomalies in existence are laid bare...

---

• Arc Words: "Not necessarily," usually in reference to the idea that the Foundation does their mission to protect humanity.
• Both Order and Chaos are Dangerous: The article's Central Theme is that while many anomalies are dangerous, the way they operate and have perturbed reality would mean a world without them would be equally so. This is a universal constant enforced across every narrative in every SCP wiki branch, with the Gate of Truth revealing this located Where It All Began within SCP-173.
• Cessation of Existence: Ultimately, the completion of SCP-CN-2510 would result in a patasphere inhospitable to anything that can exist — physical objects, concepts, thoughts, The Multiverse, Void Between the Worlds, time, the narrative itself, and even the absence of any of the above would all cease to be.
• Cosmic Keystone: SCP-173 is the Foundation multiverse's vessel of an omniversal truth, that normalcy and the anomalous are in fact one and the same. It began to fall apart from SCP-2165's entropy, until the reader finished it off by hurling the flash drive containing SCP-CN-2510's file into its face, causing a surge of the power of Metanormalcy that hits the Reset Button and banishes SCP-2165.
• Dub-Induced Plotline Change: The context of this article changes between languages. In the Chinese wiki, SCP-CN-2510 is the grand culmination of the branch's fundamentally different understanding of pataphysics, where the narrative layers are a distinct plane of existence ruled over by gods both familiar and new with their own preconceptions on how the story should be written. In the English wiki, however, it is instead a primer on the subject, obliquely hinting at the Void Emperor (identified by one of his aliases, Xu Empyrean) and his compatriots.
• Evil Vs Oblivion: Why is SCP-2165 considered Beyond Redemption by everything in every branch wiki that has ever existed and will ever exist, no matter how evil they might be? Because it attempted to alter the terms of every wiki's narrative and rules of existence by force through the denial of their absolute truth, which in spite of its goals would create a universe inhospitable to literally everything and anything imaginable. Indeed, SCP-2165's crusade puts all of it on the line, and everyone in every narrative consequently has at least the slightest incentive to act against this force.
• Gate of Truth: SCP-173 acts as a sort of this, being the physical vessel for the truth of the narrative connecting every SCP Foundation wiki, the principle of "Metanormalcy." Of course, since SCP-173 is still the concrete neck-snapping statue, it was impossible to do anything with this knowledge until SCP-2165 attempted to disrupt that truth and destroy the entire narrative by creating a story where normalcy has stamped out everything anomalous, causing the power of balance within SCP-173 to build up and lash out. Once the reader destroys the statue for good, SCP-173 imparts this truth within them before they both perish in the resulting World-Healing Wave.
• Gone Horribly Right: Reality is collapsing because according to the main SCP wiki, "normalcy" entails things like not having entropy, non-existence, death, the Moon, and a bunch of other things required for life and the universe itself to be sustainable.
• Karma Houdini: The true wielder of SCP-2165, a pataphysical Mad God known as the Void Emperor or Ultimate Veiler, is never accounted for and presumably escapes after abandoning their former weapon. In Project Isorropia, it is additionally implied Madeleine Sailer and SCP-4010 are made to be The Scapegoat for the Emperor's machinations.
• Stealth Sequel: Chronologically takes place before SCP-2165's, explaining why it is irredeemable: it (or whatever it wielded) is the only cosmic force strong enough to annihilate the Foundation's multiverse on every possible level, a feat only possible by denying the very truth on which every narrative operates on.
• Where It All Began: The final act takes place in the SCP Foundation's beginnings as a wiki, within SCP-173's containment chamber where SCP-173 serves as the Gate of Truth for every narrative and universe spawned by its inception.
• World-Healing Wave: SCP-173's death releases the limitless power granted by the truth of Metanormalcy, extinguishing SCP-2165's influence and rewinding time to before it enacted SCP-CN-2510.
• Yin-Yang Bomb: SCP-2165 is banished by a surge of... something contained within SCP-173 and which is fueled by the balance between normalcy and the anomalous.
• Upsetting the Balance: The cause of SCP-CN-2510 is revealed to be SCP-2165 trying to create a story where no anomalies exist, disrupting the fundamental truth of the universe that "normalcy" and "anomalies" need each other to survive and thus leading to it becoming irredeemable.

French SCPs

SCP-079-FR - NPC Village

• And I Must Scream: The fate of those trapped into the village, doomed to repeat programmed patterns until their death.
• Non-Player Character: A little village full of them, but in our reality instead of a game.
• NPC Scheduling: The reason why people are trapped in the village. They're submited to the script and can't escape their role, despite being intended to be fully conscious.

SCP-054-FR - Blue Fear

• Giant Wall of Watery Doom: SCP-054-FR manifests on, and seemingly has the ability to control these, as waves it appears on somehow move faster than a normal wave.
• Sea Monster: In the sense that the monster is the sea— whatever this is causes ocean waves that are at least 4m tall to randomly take on the properties of Great White Sharks!
• Threatening Shark: Large waves that can eat people stuck out at sea whole.

German SCPs

SCP-125-DE- The Imprisoned Regent

• Alien Geometries: The inside of the Kyffhäuser is seemingly bigger on the inside.
• Flowery Elizabethan English: In the translated version, SCP-125-DE's speech is rendered in this, rather anachronistically. In the original German, they just use archaic German grammar.
• Ghostapo: The Nazi-revivalist GOI known as the Fourth Reich wants SCP-125-DE on their side.
• Historical Domain Character: Frederick Barbarossa, a Holy Roman Emperor, waiting to awaken and reclaim Germany in its time of need.
• King in the Mountain: SCP-125-DE depicts what is arguably the Trope Namer. Specifically, they're Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor, and the Foundation is keeping a healthy population of Ravens around the place where he sleeps so that he doesn't awaken.
• Large and in Charge: He's the Holy Roman Emperor, and is stated to be over 4 metres tall, and estimated to weigh around 800 kilograms^note For those who use Imperial measurements, that's over 13 feet, and over 1700 pounds.
• Sealed Army in a Can: SCP-125-DE is buried with his entire court of knights and servants, as in the original myth.

Japanese SCPs

SCP-240-JP- Zero Instances of Locust

• Death-Activated Superpower: The locusts' anomalous ability to Ret-Gone themselves only occurs when an instance dies.
• Reality Warper: SCP-240-JP's anomalous effects occur whenever an instance dies, which Ret Gones it from all of reality, so as to maintain the total number of instances. As such, the number of locusts is/was always zero.
• Ret-Gone: Whenever one dies, it will retcon reality such that it had never existed at all.
• Posthumous Character: Perhaps. There are no instances of them, meaning that they were always been dead at some point.

SCP-488-JP- Werewolves

• Artistic License – Biology: A pack of Grey Wolves (Canis lupus) found in Japan; while they did exist at one point in time, they went extinct in Japan during the Meiji restoration era, in an effort to stop them from invading ranches. Or maybe that's what SCP-488-JP wants you to think...
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: SCP-488-JP is incapable of affecting red text.
• Expospeak Gag: Throughout the SCP, one might notice that certain linguistic choices are made that aren't exactly in line with the Foundation's writing voice; this is a result of SCP-488-JP affecting the file.
• Interface Screw: Some of the article is written in red. This is the actual, accurate article. All of the black text is additions from the wolves in question to make themselves look more dangerous than they really are.
• Logical Weakness: 488-JP can't edit red text, because canids can't properly see the color red.
• Non-Malicious Monster: Despite their terrifying description, SCP-488-JP instances are just grey wolves who alter information, which is theorized to be a defense mechanism to make up for poor physical capabilities.
• Our Werewolves Are Different: They aren't actually werewolves, just normal grey wolves who can anomalously affect information about themselves, which they edit to make it look like they're dangerous werewolves.

SCP-835-JP- X̶e̶n̶o̶p̶h̶o̶b̶i̶a̶ Keteru Yamiko

• Anthropomorphic Personification: Once every 1-3 months, a Foundation employee would randomly disappear, leaving nothing behind but a pool of their blood. Staff found a notable decrease in activity after a research assistant was reprimanded for drawing a Cliché Storm Original Character, "Keteru Yamiko", to attribute the disappearances to.
• Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Staff disappearances ended due to Protocol-Idol-835, as knowledge of Keteru spread among Foundation members, and the bloody phenomenon dwindled under the newfound popularity.
• Cliché Storm: Yamiko is an intentional example. A research assistant decided to use a bunch of anime clichés to explain a mysterious effect causing Foundation employees to disappear.
• Meaningful Name
  • "Keteru", from SCP-835-JP's object class from before the character's creation (ケテル). This also serves as a Double Meaning as the kanji spelling "消照", uses the characters for "to disappear" or "to extinguish" (消 ke) and "illumination", "shine", or "sunlight" (照 teru).
  • "Yamiko" (闇子), meaning "dark child".
  • The former codename "xenophobia" referred to how bizarre it was and that knowing Nothing Is Scarier. Once a human face was put to it, it had a more tangible, oddly-comforting reasoning behind it.
• Moe: invoked Keteru Yamiko herself, depicted as a Raven Haired, Ivory Skinned Magical Girl Warrior in a black Sailor Fuku wielding a kitchen knife.

SCP-1302-JP- Rotating.

• Deathly Dies Irae: One of the capsules in SCP-1302-JP has a muffled voice repeating the lyrics of Dies Irae, from somewhere within a pulsating mass of flesh and organs. And it's the next capsule to open.
• Dissonant Serenity: Many of the scenes that have unfolded inside the Ferris wheel are gruesome, but one of them is just a young boy calmly looking out and occasionally yawning.
• Ferris Wheel of Doom: An extremely slowly rotating Ferris wheel with no way to get out of it beyond waiting for your capsule to reach the bottom and open, which takes 100+ years. Somehow, a number of disappeared people either appeared in or were placed in it.
• Never Found the Body: When one of SCP-1302-JP's capsules reached the bottom and opened, it unleashed a torrent of red liquid all over the waiting Foundation personnel. Neither the liquid nor any of the personnel were recovered.

SCP-1973-JP- Monster of Mary Sue

• Parody Sue: Anyone who interacts with SCP-1973-JP will either have an extremely positive or extremely negative opinion of it, but without being able to clearly articulate why, and their behaviour will also be affected, such as an MTF team that broke protocol to ask it to join their team.
• Reality Warper: Will distort reality to ensure that it "wins" any confrontation, no matter how implausible the result.
• Self-Demonstrating Article: Yup, except it's not translated.

Korean SCPs

SCP-188-KO - Heart of the Earth

• Apocalypse How: As noted below, its long-term effects will eventually lead to, at minimum, a Class 3b apocalypse. The Foundation is reluctant to try and cut SCP-188-KO's wire, as they're afraid that it would cause a worse apocalypse from the rapid gravity change.
• Gravity Screw: SCP-188-KO is actively affecting Earth's gravity — every time the wire of the crane moves, so does Earth's center of gravity. This is already having adverse effects such as rising sea levels and increased glacial melting, and it's only going to get worse.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: Totally impervious to all forms of damage except for heat, and even then it has an absurdly high melting point (as befits something that's drilled all the way down to Earth's core.)
• Non-Indicative Name: SCP-188-KO itself is not the core (or the "heart") of the Earth — rather, it is a long wire attached to a crane which pulls from the core up.

Portuguese SCPs

SCP-119-PT- The Pompous Girl

• Beware the Nice Ones: Kind and joyful when calm. However, she has the capacity to compromise an entire facility when angry.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Doesn’t judge others superficially and treats everyone equally, but she also doesn’t see a problem in taking advantage of others for her own benefits, treating them, oftentimes, like mere disposable pawns.
• Blood from the Mouth: One of the adverse symptoms of those affected by SCP-119-PT.
• Compelling Voice: The main aspect of SCP-119-PT’s anomaly is hypnotizing people through conversation and direct contact.
• Emotional Powers: Her anomaly is amplified through anger, frustration and discomfort.
• Luxury Prison Suite: SCP-119-PT’s containment cell has things like: expensive furniture, perfume, a tea set, carpeted floor and even a bathroom with a bathtub.
• Mass Hypnosis: The aura of the anomaly affects, at the same time, everyone near her, being the proximity and effectiveness proportional to her current emotional state. From calm and pleased to furious and spiteful.
• Sweet Tooth: One of the ways to calm down SCP-119-PT is by giving her sweets. Chocolate being the most effective until now.
• Your Days Are Numbered: No one who has ever gotten in touch with SCP-119-PT survived more than 74 hours after exposure.

Spanish SCPs

SCP-ES-026- Sauelsuesor

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps 001 To 999.

SCP-ES-061- Alternative VHS Player

• Alternate History:
  • Any VHS tape put in and played by the VHS player will show a What Could Have Been version of the medium. For example, when A New Hope was played, Luke Skywalker is renamed Luke Starkiller, Han Solo is a hairy bat-faced alien, and Moff Tarkin is played by Vincent Price instead of Peter Cushing, among other changes.
  • This is also true of documentaries; when a tape chronicling the rise and election of Nelson Mandela as president of South Africa was played, it instead showed South Africa being torn apart by racial conflicts, culminating in a bloody civil war.
• Interdimensional Travel Device: In a sense. The VHS player seems to tap into Alternate Universe versions of the tapes being played by it, and playing those instead.
• Porn Without Plot: Two pornographic tapes were played by the VHS player and there was no change to either, because there was no narrative that could be changed.
• These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know: After a documentary on human evolution was played, it revealed... something... that made the O5 Council forbid further testing on non-fiction historical tapes.

Deleted SCPs

SCPs are occasionally removed from the SCP Wiki's official listings, usually due to low voting scores from the community, and sometimes done on request from their original authors. Here's a few of them which have been archived or preserved somehow.

Archived SCPs

Out-of-universe, Archived SCPs are SCPs that normally would have been deleted, but have been preserved off of the main list either because they were referenced in other documents or by staff purview.

SCP-049-ARC - Plague Doctor

• Retcon: The original SCP-049 article before djkaktus' rewrite, kept there for its iconic presence.

SCP-157-ARC - The "Shot Heard 'Round The World"

• Chekhov's Boomerang: It tends to manifest somewhere else after its uses, and has notably reappeared throughout history.
• Real Event, Fictional Cause: SCP-157-ARC was the bullet that Gavrilo Princip used to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and later Lee Harvey Oswald on President John F. Kennedy.
• Who Shot JFK?: Less of "who", more of "what shot JFK".

Decommissioned SCPs

Out-of-universe, in the early days of the site, particularly poorly written SCPs, instead of being deleted, had tales written about them being destroyed and were placed on a wall of shame. This is no longer permitted by site rules, with the only new Decommissioned SCPs being ones written as Decommissioned, as part of the Decommissioning Department.

SCP-083-D - Duke

Decomissioning Tale - ''Duke 'til Dawn''

• Godzilla Threshold: The tale Duke 'til Dawn details SCP-083-D's decommissioning, in which Dr. Kondraki tries to kill SCP-083-D in an unauthorized procedure. Practically every mundane and anomalous method fails, but what comes close to killing it is when Dr. Kondraki incurs SCP-682's wrath and baits it into battling SCP-083-D, leading to it being Eaten Alive, at the cost of letting SCP-682 breach containment and utterly wreck the Site.
• Healing Factor: Sported one strong enough to nullify most forms of damage.
• Logical Weakness: SCP-083-D had a powerful Healing Factor that rendered even being eaten and digested alive harmless, but as a vampire, depriving it of its blood would be an effective way to starve it out. It was successfully decommissioned when SCP-298 was used on it, an organ whose Brown Note paralyzes and exsanguinates listeners.
• Our Vampires Are Different: SCP-083-D was a vampire capable of only safely drinking the blood of virgin females, with O-Blood types, non-virgin blood and the blood of rape victims enraging it.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: Dr. Kondraki in the tale Duke 'til Dawn brought stereotypical weapons to try and decommission SCP-083-D in the middle of an interview; a wooden stake, a gun with silver bullets, and a bottle containing silver nitrate, garlic, and cat urine. None of them worked and only served to anger SCP-083-D.
• Vampires Are Sex Gods: Described as having had an alluring aura against women. Subverted however, as sexual harassment was an apparent issue female staff had complained about when interacting with SCP-083-D.

SCP-122-D - Large Canine

Decomissioning Tale - ''Incident 239-B - Clef-Kondraki'' (Cameo)

• Body to Jewel: SCP-122-D was decommissioned when it tried to attack Dr. Crow, who was walking by with SCP-244-ARC (a spherical device capable of dozens of autonomous actions, such as self-defense and entertainment). SCP-122-D was struck with a beam that crystalized its entire body after repeated attempts to keep it at bay. Because of this, SCP-122-D was considered decommissioned.
• Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: When the request for better meals was denied by Gen. Roth, he was later attacked by a gang of D-Class acting on behalf of SCP-122-D for the act of disrespect. Whether this was a psychic influence or done out of affection remained a mystery.
• Mix-and-Match Critters: It sported bat wings on its humanoid dog's body.
• Skewed Priorities: It has been noted that roughly 50% of Site-██'s budget was to be used/was used in purchasing gourmet meals and expensive whiskey and wines for SCP-122-D to dine on. This was later denied by a Gen. Roth.
• Take That!: Twice, done in both the main article and the incident report and likely in reference to SCP-122-D's unpopularity.
  • From Incident 239-B - Clef-Kondraki:
  (Found in Crow's personal log regarding SCP-122-D's death by crystallization): "Huh... Bastard had it coming. Nobody liked that mutt anyway. Make a nice lawn ornament though..."
  • From the main article:
  (Final Addendum 122): "Upon further investigation and review, I have discovered a possible correlation with affection towards SCP-122, and inevitable death. Dr. Tibor's recent death due to cancer is an obvious example, as are all the D-class personnel who attacked Roth."
• Wolf Man: SCP-122-D was a humanoid canine with wings, and was capable of intelligent communication through written language.

SCP-135-D - The Shape Shifter

Decomissioning Tale - ''Iceberg puts 135 on ice''

• Literally Shattered Lives: SCP-135-D, and a D-Class used as bait, were struck with a large amount of nitrogen that left them completely solid. Dr. Iceberg would then produce a shotgun to fire at them, shattering them into pieces (SCP-135-D had shapeshifted into the D-class's form, and was thus destructible by organic standards).
• Passed-Over Promotion: Essentially the plotline of the tale involve SCP-135-D's destruction. Dr. Iceberg was dissatisfied over having held the same Level 2 clearance level for a decade when Dr. Clef and his associates held Level 4 clearance. He assumes that it's because they can easily decommission unwanted SCP items, and takes initiative to destroy a dangerous object slated for decommissioning: the then SCP-135.
• Shapeshifting: SCP-135-D could transform into objects sitting near it, creating a perfect copy. It should be noted that the item doesn't seem to be alive in any sense, so copying a living form essentially just creates a lobotomized version of the individual.
• Roswell That Ends Well: SCP-135-D is said to have been found at the Roswell crash site after the UFO incident, where the fauna and wildlife around it had been killed from exposure to it.

The Original SCP-031 - What is Love?

• Blob Monster: Its true form is a huge, grotesque sluglike creature.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Seems to operate under this.
• Master of Illusion: It masks its true form by resembling the romantic or sexual desire of anyone who looks at it. The effect does not work on cameras, hence why the photo shows its true form, and it backfires on aromantic individuals, who only see a cloud of smoke with a vaguely humanoid shape inside.
• Mundane Utility: It uses its illusory abilities for couch hopping.
• Really Gets Around: Due to its power, it tends to have a massive amount of admirers.
• Your Heart's Desire: Its power. Anyone who looks at it sees their greatest romantic desire. Aromantic individuals only see a vaguely humanoid shape shrouded in a cloud of smoke for some reason.

The Original SCP-332 - The 1976 Kirk Lonwood High School Marching Band

SCP-332 is the titular Class of 1976 marching band of Kirk Lonwood High School, consisting of 30 humanoids known as SCP-332-1 through -30. Once every 48 hours, the band will enter an active state, during which they will perform a marching routine. If a subject hears the band's music, they will attempt to obtain any instrument near them and join them in playing. If affected subjects (hereafter known as SCP-332-B) are unable to join the band within 10 minutes, they will walk with the band and mime playing an instrument as they march with the band, attempting to replicate the sounds produced with their voice. 332-B instances will march and play until they pass out from exhaustion or hunger, at which point they will be trampled by the rest of the band.

---

• Brainwashed and Crazy: Possibly. Some members of SCP-332 have occasionally been seen to struggle against an unknown force before falling back in line after their brief moments of distress. It's possible they're just being controlled by another entity.
• Magic Music: Of a decidedly malevolent kind. Anyone who hears it will attempt to find instruments themselves and join in, becoming very anxious if they can't, but instead miming an instrument as they walk with the band. They will then march along until collapsing from exhaustion or hunger, and are then trampled by the band and other hypnotized people. During the first incident, this led to a 40% fatality rate among students and teachers at their school.
• Obliviously Evil: To the extent that they're capable of thought in their current form, the band is just performing its regular pieces and regular marches for an unusually long period, and they don't seem to notice the people they hypnotize and trample.
• Perpetual-Motion Monster: Seem to have had no ill effects from standing in a field for thirty years and, unlike their victims, do not feel hunger or exhaustion from their activities.
• The Virus: Their music acts this way. For every ten people hypnotized into becoming 332-B, the radius their music can be heard at extends another three hundred meters. The band will not stop playing until every 332-B has collapsed or died.

SCP-0106 - AIS-106

0106, photographed during Breach Event 106-Zulu

"Play?"

An Alternate Universe counterpart of SCP-106, it has several unique abilities and behaviour patterns distinct from the the original. These differences might only seem skin-deep, but it's surprising the things the smallest change can lead to....

---

• The Assimilator: The final document reveals that 0106's corrosion substance can draw objects as large as a planet into the pocket dimension, which it's done to several versions of Earth.
• Adaptation Expansion: The black fluid 0106 emits is explained to be the portal to his pocket dimension, with the corrosion being an effect of the realm's air leaking out into the environment. While in the original the two abilities were wholly separate.
• Deal with the Devil: 0106 has struck one with an alternate version of the SCP Foundation called the AIS Republic: In exchange for leaving their reality (referred to as the "Prime Dimension") alone, the AIS created Lure Protocol 106-Omega, an Interdimensional Travel Device they used to transport 0106 to alternate Earths it can use as "hunting grounds".
• Foreshadowing: 0106 is somehow already familiar with many Foundation sites and how best to navigate them, hinting at the fact this isn't the first time it's dealt with the SCP Foundation.
• Voluntary Shapeshifting: It's described as "amorphous", able to reshape its body to resemble any human subject its had physical contact with.

The Original SCP-1075 - Daredevil Horse

• Clingy Costume: Its saddle can't come off and forcibly merges with anyone riding it.
• Hellish Horse: A horse that tries to kill anyone who rides it.
• Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Was the steed of Famine in the Competitive Eschatology canon.
• Undying Loyalty: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, it's significantly more docile in the presence of its rider, SCP-027 (the Horseman of Famine).

The Original SCP-1548 - The Hateful Star

• Alas, Poor Villain: Video Killed the Radio Star explains its disappearance. Its reversing direction caused its anomalous properties to make it collapse. Its last transmission being the first time not declaring its misanthropy and practically pleading with them.
  SCP-1548: I don't want to go.
• Cessation of Existence: Its implied ultimate fate as it collapsed on itself, considering it just stopped sending transmissions.
• Colony Drop: One thing that could possibly have happened had it eventually arrived to Earth was for it to hurl itself against our planet.
• Husky Russkie: For some reason it apparently broadcast its Morse messages in Russian. (Either that or the agent who received it happened to be Russian and the star adapted its message in consequence).
• Lampshade Hanging: The star was thousands of light-years away, but it still managed to communicate directly with people observing it from Earth. What this means is that the star must have known that it was going to be observed thousands of years before it actually happens, and timed its messages so that the pulses reach us exactly on time. The Foundation actually acknowledges this, and admits they have no idea how the star was able to do that.
• Omnicidal Maniac: If its wrathful messages are anything to go by. Fortunately, it was so far away in space that, barring unforeseen circumstances, it wasn't due to arrive for around five thousand years, though now it is no longer an issue now that it has imploded on itself.
• The Omniscient: Though at first it mostly broadcasted generic threats, later transmissions revealed that it knew a lot about us. Everything about the top-secret Foundation itself, even the personal information of the leaders. It could apparently also see into the future. This may or may not have been dependent on direct observation, as in each instance it only did this in response to Foundation personnel, the leaders included, directing telescopes at it.
• The Rival: To 682, in a who-knows-if-it-happened-or-not tale, complete with a morse code rap battle.
• Sentient Stars: It was a sentient star that intended to destroy all of humanity, and was headed our way until it accidentally imploded on itself.
• Very Loosely Based on a True Story: While it's not actually careening towards Earth at near-light speeds nor broadcasting messages of impending doom, the pulsar in question actually exists. It's at the heart of the Crab Nebula.
• Weird Sun: Well, technically more of a Weird Star. It also seems to regularly broadcast messages after solar flares. If that means it is connected to the solar flares (as in causing them), then we may be doomed long before it actually reaches us.

The Original SCP-4730 - Earth, Crucified

• Apocalypse Cult: Apparently one exists out of prisoners SCP-4730 takes from other worlds. SCP-4730 allows them to exist due to the iconography the cult creates being somehow important to their containment efforts.
• Apocalypse How: An SCP-4730-3 instance freely admits that they are more than willing to trigger these on Earths that sufficiently resist them. This is accomplished by either deliberately releasing the anomalies that that Earth is currently containing or introducing new anomalies from other Earths into that universe.
• Creepy Crosses: Earths that are contained by SCP-4730 are stripped of their natural resources by countless cross-like mining devices.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: An SCP-4730-3 instance claims that they have mastered containing god-like entities by dumping them into blank regions of space called "Nowhere".
• He Who Fights Monsters: Despite referring to itself as "The Greater Foundation," SCP-4730 is considered an extremely dangerous and hostile SCP by the Foundation. Likewise, SCP-4730 regards the worlds it finds with anomalies to be in need of containment.
• Planet Looters: When SCP-4730 finds an Earth with sufficiently dangerous anomalies it sets up cross-like mining devices across the planet, essentially stripping the planet bare.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: SCP-4730 claims it has the same goals as the Foundation, but expanded towards the multiverse and takes it to a gratuitous conclusion. The multitude of dead worlds and regions of space rendered blank in its wake, however, makes the Foundation conclude that it is more of a Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist.
