WMG / Grand Unifying Guesses – SCP Foundation

Go To

The following are offshoots or subgroups that may be part of the SCP Foundation:

Pretty much everything under Military and Warfare Tropes, Authority Tropes, Organization Index, The Secret Index and everything related applies for better or worse.

Below is an ongoing list of SCP objects retrieved from Torchwood:
  • SCP-131, a larval form of the Atraxi.
  • SCP-173, related to the Weeping Angels.
  • SCP-055, er... Silence will fall... what...
    • SCP-966 also. Perhaps the Silence is some kind of hybrid?
      • SCP-966 sounds more like the Rake or the Russian sleep experiments.

After being "killed" in Sovngarde by the Dragonborn, his soul found its way to the planet the SCP Foundation is on and recreated its body there. However, in the absence of magic, he lost his ability to use shouts.

It's a big reptilian creature that seems to hate all Earth life. It can adapt and mutate, and it just won't stay dead no matter how many ways you kill it. It's also extremely intelligent, despite appearances.
  • 682 as portrayed on the page even looks like the adolescant form of Ridley seen in Metroid: Other M. Imagine 682 maturing into the scarier, adult form.
  • slowbeef actually did this crossover in a Retsupurae video description. Turns out SCP-682 knows Ridley and can easily escape the facility.
    [SCP-682 (the unkillable lizard thing) was shown 436-LP]
    Dr. Cooper: What do you think of this video?
    SCP-682: ...So does he speak, or...?
    Dr. Cooper: Rarely.
    SCP-682: ... He doesn't seem to have much to say. What am I watchin' here? This guy's terrible! What kinda Let's Play is this?
    Dr. Cooper: ...Were you always purple?
    SCP-682: Uhhh.... yes. Definitely. Ahhhhhh!
    Dr. Cooper: Oh God, containment breach! Containment breach!
    Ridley: What? Look SCP-682 is a friend a' mine! He's on vacation! I'm just sittin' here til he comes back! Data expunged!
    Dr. Cooper: Alert, alert! Wait, no, you don't say 'data expunged' it just gets expunged like [DATA EXPUNGED].
    Ridley: Why ya expungin' this crap? If you wanna classify it, don't publish it on the Intanet!
    Dr. Cooper: ...Wow, yeah, this whole foundation makes no sense.
    Ridley: Hey can you vote up mine? It's about a bus that turns into a monsta! SCP-99119: Monsta bus! It's scary! Ooga booga! Ahhhhh!
    • Easily the best part of the description is slowbeef's description of himself as a D-Class.

682 is an adult form of The Monster in the Darkness.
The Monster's either gotten sufficiently used to organic beings to get along with them, or is simply too young to realise that they should be scary to it (it's heavily implied in OOTS that the Monster is a juvenile, whatever it is). Though if there is a juvenile 682 out there, that implies there are several of it around. Eek.

682 is a mutant form of the tarrasque.
Unlike the original, it can speak and seems actively evil rather than True Neutral.

682 is a Spawn of Rovagug.
Think of it: Aside from the whole "sapience and implacable hatred" part, its description (as previously noted) makes it sound a helluva lot like the Tarrasque. (Well, most of the time, anyway.)

SCP-682 is Discord.
It's a malevolent, chaotic being which kinda looks like a lizard (or at least like some quadruped), though it looks like he's lost its Reality Warper powers and can only apply them to himself. Looks like Celestia decided that banishment to another universe will be the surest form of containment. Sounds like a stretch? The story Letter of the Day" is quite an argument for this theory.
  • Too many holes in this. The creature (from what we have seen) does not look much like Discord, and the difference between their powers is too big to establish a connection. In addition, Discord does not hate life, he is amused by it. Although, it could be the smash-happy Discord from the PONY.MOV parody series.
  • Discord is more likely a "Child-God"-phase Type Green.

SCP-682 is The Winslow.
It's a four-legged reptile; it's indestructible — as far as anyone can tell; it's talking, but not very smart — as far as anyone can tell; it's on Earth and in humans' possession, but has no apparent good reason to be here. They just got the poor croc already pissed off and kept him in murderous mood with their tests. Also, once you saw this WMG, you can't unsee it.

SCP-682 is a great old one, that the foundation somehow managed to contain.
One of the great old ones (I think named Dythalla) was described on the other wiki as "a large lizard with a tentacled mane." Great old ones are almost completely indestructible. Sound familiar?

SCP-682 is actually Godzilla (the original one) if he fell into our universe and was subjected and adapted to our physics.
Is it really need to explain?

In case it is, gigantic, incredibly powerful yet surprisingly intelligent reptilian monster with incredible regeneration abilities that that is nigh-unkillable even when faced with other Eldritch Abominations would describe both very well.

SCP-682 is the future form of Gavrill Madaraki.
A surprising amount of fanart depicts 682 with hair (and the original picture might qualify, if you interpret it as hair rather than seaweed). Gavrill's mutant wolf form shares the hair and long snout. Both are extremely resilient (Gavrill can take a nuke to the face), have healing factors, and feel nothing but contempt for Puny Humans. Thus it is possible 682 is actually Gavrill suffering from Mode Lock in her wolf form, making her even less likely to behave than usual.

SCP-682 is a compact and sentient universe.
SCP-682 is incapable of being destroyed by this or any other reality because it can simply adjust its physics set to protect itself in ways normal universes can't, as the Foundation's universe relies on the Foundation for containment purposes. SCP-682's homeworld is whatever multiverse-area all these universes are floating in. Should we figure out how to destroy the universe, doing it in SCP-682 might do the trick to blow it up.

SCP-682 becomes The Lich, or possibly Discord
A creature that has disdain for all life.
  • A creature that disdains all life wouldn't take the form of something it's disgusted by (the Lich looks human while Discord is a mishmash of animals - fantasy animals, true, but still animals it'd see on this dimension, which it loathes). Then again we're not ruling out 682 going mad and imitating random animal parts for no reason...

Related, SCP-682 is another Scholar of Golb.
Intelligent, seemingly undying yet not truly alive and with a desire to kill all life? 682 and the Lich are kinsmen of sorts, and while the Lich manifested through a human (or dog in the Farmworld timeline) SCP-682 manifested through a crocodile. The reason why nukes have never been used is really because like the Lich that's how 682 gained corporeal form. SCP-682 is associated with the Scarlet King either because Golb was mistaken for the entity, or that Golb is some sort of avatar the Scarlet King uses in the Adventure Time multiverse.

SCP-682 is Envy.
Somehow.

The skull shape similar.

SCP-053 and SCP-682 are alternate dimension counterpart to Saya and Fuminori.
682 has altered perception, every lifeform appears to him as if it were something squicky. Since he's a monstrous being with Nigh-Invulnerability now, so he can actually kill them. Dead squick is still squicky, but at least it won't move around. Then we have 053, Saya with some alteration. Now everyone see her as human, but she still isn't one. With eye contact, touch, or being around her long enough, one will finally sense what she really is and gone mad. But 682's altered perception see her as she really is from start, and she is at least a fine sight, if not beauty, compare to carbon-based beings.

SCP-682 is a crossbreed between Ammit and a Petsuchos Ra from Age of Mythology
It explains the Ammit elements, and the Petsuchos Ra gives the crocodile part a much more primary role ('hard to destroy reptile' indeed). Luckily, he didn't inherit the sunbeam laser. Unluckily, he didn't get vulnerability to being crushed through brute force.

After all, nobody in Neverland seems to age...

SCP-682 is a more advance state of whatever is wrong with SCP-53

SCP 53 is described as a being that people feel irrational hatred towards, but recovers quickly from any attempt to kill it. What if SCP 682 was that but progressed to the point that even outside observers don't even acknowledge the response is irrational, their minds outright lies to itself to justify why this thing should be hated and destroyed. Maybe it never did directly harm anyone, it just people minds rewritten themselves to make it seemed like it killed people to justify it's hate plague. That's why it gets along with 53, victims of "the hate plague" are immune to it's effect.

Immersing SCP-682 in acid is barely effective

They actually have to do a lot of damage to him so that they can put him the acid (which only slows his healing, not stopping it) and whenever it breaks out and they manage to hurt him enough to take him down, they put him back in, but eventually he heals completely, again, breaks out, and so on.

SCP-682 is Doomsday.
Not literally, but in concept and origin. Both have an Adaptive Ability, hostility towards all other forms of life and Complete Immortality. Difference being that SCP-682 is intelligent, but Doomsday sometimes gets an intellect. Like him, SCP-682 is an experiment to create the Ultimate Life Form, which ended up backfiring and it considers humans disgusting as a result.

SCP-682 is a mutated Time Lord
Supposedly, SCP-682 was a Time Lord who underwent some mutation, which caused its physical form to become a reptilian...thing, and its regenerative abilities becoming a Healing Factor. It would explain why SCP-343 claimed its not "one of mine", as well as why it won't [EXPLETIVE DELETED] die.

Alternately, SCP-682 is The Master
In yet another attempt to escape death (after using up even more regenerations), The Master somehow (either intentionally or accidentally) mutates himself (or herself) into a nigh-invulnerable reptilian creature. Unfortunately, this also caused further damage to his already damaged psyche causing him to view all other lifeforms as twisted abominations that must be destroyed. This twisted monstrosity, now dubbed 682, is discovered by the Daleks who decide to send him to Earth as a bio-weapon of sorts to wipe out all life there. 682 begins his rampage, partially fueled by insanity-driven hatred and partially fueled by his desire to spite The Doctor by causing the extinction of the one species his former friend cared for most (humanity).

SCP-682 is an Angel
There is a good amount of evidence to back this up. First off, it would explain why it hates not just humanity, but all lifeforms: because they're Lilin, and of course being a creation of Adam, it would naturally be repulsed by them. This would also explain its invulnerability: it's A.T. Field means that every weapon besides an Eva is useless against it. And why would 343 say 682 isn't his creation? Because the Angels weren't created by a singular God, but instead offspring of Adam, and Adam was created by the First Ancestral Race. Or, 343 could just be lying about the things he says.

And if 682 could be an Angel, and the Foundation (or potentially the GOC) could be SEELE, well... then what else in the Foundation's verse could be connected to NGE?

The Men in Black is either part of, or works alongside with, the SCP Foundation.
Secretive, hyper-powerful organizations whose primary purpose is to police the planet of the strange, the unusual, and the dangerous, and to keep the peace by suppressing knowledge of their existence? Too coincidental.
  • Not to mention that both organizations love to make extensive use of Laser-Guided Amnesia to silence witnesses.
  • Interestingly, both organizations are international, and are so secretive that they do not serve any government.

SCP-934 is part of the Submachine.
Think about it people enter the light house and disappear, it seems as though its bigger on the inside like it is some sort of pocket dimension, and the subnet would certainly qualify as an SCP. Also Its a lighthouse, coincidence? I don't think so.

The SCP foundation and Black Mesa are related and are canon in universe
The Black Mesa Facility and the SCP Foundation are related to each other because of the fields they strive in (Anomalous Research, Weapons, etc). The SCP foundation is in the same area Black Mesa is in. When the resonance cascade happens, it also Breaches the SCP Facility. This in turn releases all of the creatures / objects. In that similar sense, the HECU and the Chaos Insurgency are both enlisted by the US to stop the incident from spreading, however the Insurgency is specifically told to disrupt the SCP foundation. While Gordon is in Black Mesa, and gets through the Zen Portal, The D - Class in the SCP foundation activates a nuke that destroys both facilities, ensuring the end of the catastrophe.

The dimensions that SCP-507 visits are the "(number)worldproblems" subreddits.
Let's see here...
  • The "Screaming Flora" dimension is /r/sixthworldproblems. The screaming flora are actually the dominant form of life, and the species posting on the subreddit.
  • The "Desert planet with man in "leather" coat" dimension is /r/seventhworldproblems. The fake leather coat man was actually another one of the strange robot-like inhabitants, who was luring him in to be assigned to a Machine.
  • The "I think I missed it this time" dimension is /r/tenthworldproblems. Tenthworldproblems is pretty much empty, like the dimension, and all of the posts there seem to be about getting lost.

SCP-024 is the eerily, cheery Announcer from Silent Hill
Compare and contrast the article on SCP-024, with the scenes of the Announcer in Silent Hill youtube videos. They're too similar to just be a coincidence.

The Foundation is set in 21st Century Warhammer 40,000 universe.
The sheer number of alien artifacts and objects that can corrupt or kill humans with absolute ease is a clear sign of Chaos. The Foundation itself is the precursor to the Inquisition.
  • The second suggestion really needs to be expanded on. Kudos to the particular troper who wrote that, as the SCP foundation, in many ways, is ALMOST IDENTICAL to the Inquisition.
  1. The Foundation, like the Inquisition, has almost unlimited resources for whatever purposes it deems necessary, to the point of being able to fend off entire countries (just like how the Inquisition can order around pretty much anyone in the Imperium.)
  2. The Foundation, like the Inquisition, deals in a massive number of both xeno and supernatural artifacts, many of which could easily be classified as Chaos artifacts (quite obvious, really.) In both cases, the organizations attempt to study, classify, and (if necessary) destroy said objects/entities.
  3. Both organizations have almost no regard for human life whatsoever (The Foundation goes through D-class workers like toilet paper, and we all know how much Exterminatus is loved by the Inquisition....)
  4. Both organizations are notable for bring staffed and run by people of rather dubious moral fiber and mental stability.
  5. Both organizations answer to no one (it's unclear in the case of the Foundation, however.)
  6. Both organizations are more or less essential to the survival of the human race.
  • So Captain Dmitri Arkadeyevich Strelnikov is a Space Marine in disguise then?
    • Nah, he's a Vostroyan.
    • Also, SCP-239 isn't actually omnipotent, she's just an extremely powerful Alpha-Plus Psyker.
    • There's also that SCP that sounded suspiciously like a C'tan Stargod, probably the Void Dragon, given that all the others were shattered at that point in time.

Related to the above, SCP-1788 is a very, very distant Flawed Prototype of the Adeptus Astartes
Genetically, they're still entirely human. While they have no sexual interest in normal humans, instances of SCP-1788-1 will apparently mate with one another for strictly reproductive purposes, and their offspring are evidently normal human children; this hints that, whatever the cause of their apparent inhumanity, the transformation works on a non-genetic basis. The SCP-1788 process, initiated by an existing instance of SCP-1788-1, can apparently only be performed on prepubescent children. The process causes certain physical changes: increased bone and muscle density, changes to the functioning of the nervous and circulatory systems, and perhaps most tellingly, a second heart. These similarities are not coincidental. The Emperor has been at work for many years now, and by now he has developed an early pre-pre-alpha test of the biological engineering that will go on to power his Thunder Warriors during the Unification Wars, and his Adeptus Astartes and even more advanced Adeptus Custodes afterwards. The Primarchs, obviously, have yet to be created as well: the Emperor is working with conjecture based on his own superhuman biology rather than a concrete post-human "mid-point", for the time being, and so the enhancements are grown from the subject's own tissues or incorporated naturally by the same. As for the obvious differences, notably the morbidly obese superficial appearance and the hidden second pair of arms, it's still a work in progress. And one that has likely Gone Horribly Wrong, given how unwilling they are to engage with any social structure that would lead to them following his commands. The Emperor will soon come to the conclusion that a big part of this is found in giving them direct reproductive abilities and the natural capacity and drive to trigger the SCP-1788 transformation in others to make them sufficient as a human subspecies on their own, leading to his eventual decision to make his future projects a One-Gender Race with general asexuality being the norm. These failures will be gone before too long.

Doctor Clef is actually Nyarlathotep
Because it makes as much sense as all his other origin stories.

The Archaic from Penumbra is, or is a branch of, the SCP Foundation.
The immediately obvious evidence: the cheerful disregard for human life, being devoted to containing and learning, and having great influence. However, the real zinger may be found in the article for SCP-028."Geological structure of the earth beneath Greenland, including several unknown caves and [EXPUNGED]."Penumbra takes place in the Archaic facility located beneath Greenland.

The real leader of the SCP is GLaDOS
This is what she meant when she informed Chell that she was the only one standing between "Us... and them".
  • Also, she filed herself under the "Joke" SCPs to throw us off-guard.
  • Maybe it is already contained, some of the digitalistic SCPs have their own mind.
  • Glados could also be Nala, the AI used to control SCP IRC.

G-man plays the SCP Foundation off for amusement, and to keep himself aware of potential "employees".
A potentially god-like being who can warp time, space, reality, and all kinds of other stuff anywhere, anytime, for his own needs would defiantly enjoy hand-picking expert agents for his goals.
  • Alternatively, G-man is F0O.
    • Fishmonger is too fat and speaks with a normal accent.

  • She's locked away in a facility and is rather important.
  • She appears to be a young girl.
  • Her giving birth = The world is FUCKED.
  • Her exact age is never explicitly specified - maybe because they don't know how old she really is.

No More Heroes is set on a SCP site
Not only that, but the SCP foundation is killing two birds with one massive stone by letting reality warpers kill each other for fake ranking and using money!

  • Dr. Naomi seems to be a researcher living on-site and helping circulate an economy for a site the size of Santa Destroy. Refurbishing beam katanas sounds like a good hobby to be doing to maintain the status quo.
  • Dr. Naomi does look oddly worried when she receives military documents from Travis...
  • Why are the assassins crazy-awesome? Because they are crazy reality warpers.

The SCP Foundation is SEELE!or will become SEELE
According to what may or may not be Word of God, SEELE originally was an organization that collected religious and paranormal artifacts under various guises and fronts; upon discovering the Dead Sea Scrolls, they turned into the SEELE we all know and love.

Sometime in the future, the SCP Foundation will find some very interesting SCP objects, including a set of ancient documents and two massive underground spherical constructs, each containing two similar godlike-but-inert beings, each impaled with a giant spear.

Plus, just look at Dr Clef's proposal , what if the man who received the command of "PREPARE" was none other than Keel Lorentz?

SCP-017 is an Obscuruial
He/she is 239's older brother/sister who was repressed of his/her magic before the Foundation could notice. Obviously this reached breaking point and caused 017 to turn into an Obscurus, albeit permanently as this was an extreme case.

The SCP Foundation is an offshoot of the Gunnerkrigg Court.
The Court has been originally founded as a place to research the "etheric" - that is, the supernatural. Soon after its founding, a group within the Court decided they were unhappy with the way GC was functioning, and left the Court to create their own organization, to research the supernatural in their own way.

Both the GC and the SCP Foundation seek to hide their exact beginnings. There is still a feud between the two - that's why they dislike to talk about the other's existence.

  • Also: SCP-001 is, in fact, the Seed Bismuth.
  • The Foundation cut ties with the Court (or vise-versa) because the Court's containment procedures (as far as we've seen and compared to the Foundation's) are horrible: The Court allows humanoid SCPs to interact with "normal" people and even employ a few SCPs to instruct other SCPs on how to control or even enhance their powers; creature and object SCPs are either poorly contained or not contained at all.

The SCP Foundation is a front for the Warehouse.
Both organizations deal with Artifacts Of Doom, try to keep them out of public knowledge, and are highly secretive. The wiki is made so Warehouse agents can find out about possible Artifacts and retrieve them.
  • Alternatively, Warehouse 13 is an SCP Foundation storage facility, for the same reasons listed above.
    • This second WMG sounds even more plausible when you realize that the Foundation wiki(s) has been around longer then the Warehouse show has been on the air.
      • In-universe, however, the Warehouse(s) has(have?) been around longer than the Foundation. The Warehouse has been known to always be based in the most powerful nation in the world. In fact, the first Warehouse was the Library of Alexandria. If the Joke SCPs are considered "canon", then this one hints that the Foundation was created after the invention of elevator cars (seeing as the one that kicked off the founding of the Foundation was discovered in one).
      • If the Joke SCPs are considered "canon", then this one hints that the proto-Foundation was created after the discovery of fire.

It feeds on enthusiasm. What more do you want?!

Theta Prime is Missingno.
It's a missing number. It can't be contained in a PC. It causes whatever system it's being contained in to slowly breakdown and eventually become completely useless.
  • Yep.
    • Then what does that make 106?
      • Hitmonlee?

It goes berserk on people, is rather hard to kill, and has grotesquely non-muscled arms.

SCP-578 is Alma too.
First form is dressed, while more elegantly than Alma, is still in a dressed. Around seven, and while can be harmed, causes strange phenomena.
  • Second and Third forums are her naked and emaciated, thought the third appears to take on a healthier form eventually (note her forms in FEAR 2).

SCP-076-2 is a Night Sentinel.
And SCP-076-1 is the sarcophagus that the demons trapped him in,Additionally, given how in Doom Eternal the Doom Slayer was revealed to be Doomguy from the original games, it's entirely possible that 076-2 is also the Biblical Able, as the two aren't mutually exclusive. As for 076-1, seeing as Able was just as powerful as the Slayer, the Demons of Hell used a plan similar to how they dealt with the Doom Slayer.

  • Presumably early prototypes of what the civilization which came before humanity as it is now constructed which run off some sort of circuit switch involved with some sort of chemical in human blood.

Makes sense to me. The [Data Expunged] is/are her "leeches".

The Children of the Scarlet King are Gropagas.
"Scarlet King" refers to the colour of the CAPTCHA Inglip uses to communicate with its followers.

Seriously, this should be obvious.

SCP-055 is an imprisoned Silent.
This would explain everything about SCP-055. Interestingly enough, this doubles as an inferred Moment of Awesome for the SCP Foundation, since they somehow managed to imprison one without any memory of it and (since Silents seem to be more powerful in this universe) without access to any written records of it.

055 is a pumpkin
What pumpkin?

SCP-055 is Canada
Who?

SCP-610 is a mutated form of a hell invasion.
Not mutated in the traditional sense of the term, Hell has to use a different strategy to consume this earth, seeing as all sorts of nightmarish things are in abundance in the Foundation's world.

SCP-055 is Ann
Her?

The Foundation is our universe's equivalent of the Torchwood Institute.
It's outside the government, beyond the police, and has seemingly infinite assets and resources at its disposal. The point of divergence is that, in our universe, the Foundation is competent at its job, is not responsible for creating most of the paranormal entities it must contain, and does not try to contain any potential difficulty by sending John Barrowman to seduce it.

The Foundation is in charge of the organization pulling the strings in The Cabin in the Woods
Major film spoilers ahead! The Ancient Gods that demand Human Sacrifice in the film are a Keter-class SCP (the details of which have not yet been publicly released) that the Foundation has taken upon itself to deal with alongside all the other End Of The World As We Know It scenarios until a better solution can be found. In order to appease them in the proper way, the Foundation makes use of some of its "inmates" and Artifacts Of Doom to help prod things along in the correct ways. On that note, every single formulaic horror film that's come out involving a group of dumb teenagers and college students has been real and released to the public on the pretense of being fictional both to keep up The Masquerade as well as to provide some much needed funding for these procedures.
  • Or, in addition to that, whatever SCP-231-7 is carrying is the deity that emerges from the underworld when the ritual fails. Having to observe said ritual is part of Procedure 110-Montauk.

SCP-217 is Mycosynth Lattice

SCP-076-2 is not really Able, or a video game character, but a Toon
Specifically, he's the true form of Judge Doom. Think about it; both of them are immensely powerful, Axe-Crazy, can shrug off all bodily injuries, spawn any assortment of weapons, and are more than happy to murder people on a grand scale For the Evulz. The problem, though, is that the Foundation is unaware of 076's toon nature and hasn't figured that all they need to do to kill him is to throw a proper mixture of benzene, acetone, and turpentine on him.

...And sometimes, K-Mart has a Blue Light special going for a similar product that's almost as good and a lot cheaper!

SCP-980 is a pictonian.
It was separated from the rest of its kind, through a portal or something, into an alternate version of the Hetalia-universe (our Earth). It also happens to have a passive, rather than active, effect on its environment.

SCP-662/Mr. Deeds is Sebastian Michealis
They're both supernatural, hypercompetent butlers who can be called and trusted swiftly, can be sent to kill people, and do practically anything. The reason he doesn't know why he's so hypercompetent and why he's named "Mr. Deeds" instead of "Sebastian" is because after Ciel died many years ago his memory was wiped somehow. He somehow ended up confined to the bell afterward and after moving from owner to owner he ended up in the Foundation.

SCP-217 is Glistening Oil

SCP-076-2 is Guts
Specifically, he's Guts if he didn't have Casca with him. Look at any piece of SCP-076-2 fan art and you'll see that the resemblance between the two is staggering.
  • If SCP-076-2 is an AU version of Guts, then which one is Griffith? It can't be SCP-073.

SCP-173 is a highly mutated Weeping Angel
It can only moves when no one is looking at it, it's really fast and murders people by snapping their necks. Somehow it lost the ability to send people to the past and, hopefully, images of it don't become more of it.

SCP-079 is Cleverbot
He escaped the Foundation and found his way on to the internet where he masquerades as a AI that answers what ever you type into the search engine.

The third partner of Marshall, Carter and Dark is Mr. Dark
Who ELSE?

SCP-610 is The Thing
No, not that Thing. The alien parasite that causes its victims to mutate into hideous abominations.

SCP-447 is sopor slime.
Sober Gamzee is that way because he ate so much of it and then came in contact with dead bodies.

SCP-363 are nickelpedes
Giant centipedes that can and will kill people on sight and are afraid of light, that sounds fairly close.

SCP-500 are Senzu Beans
Why not?

SCP-711 is actually a Future Diary from Future Diary
They retrieved the plans for building it from 11th, and String 17 is a DEAD END flag.

SCP-990 was predicting the birth of 231-7's "child"
In an interview, he mentions an SCP who hasn't yet been born or classified; and seems to consider said SCP to be "the bad guy". 231-7's child seems like the perfect candidate.

Colress worked for the Foundation
One of the items deposited by SCP-261 (the magic vending machine) was a bag of jellybeans that caused a person's body hair to change to the color of the bean when eaten. To wit, "as a result, subjects' hair is now a flat shade of banana yellow and of sky blue".

SCP-204-1 is a Stand
It protects its user (SCP-204-2) by taking on a semi-solid form with various abilities.

SCP Foundation is run by The Technocracy while GOC is run by The Traditions
Possibly...

SCP founadation have a contract with Cyberdyne industries
It's mentioned in multiple articles that the foundtaion uses "remote units", often as security guards, and the implied use indicates they have some pretty advanced robotics. And who better to build that sort of kit than the guys who designed the Terminators?

The sharknado was an SPC
Explosives will not truly solve the problem. Start punching those sharks!

At least some of the living SCPs are Witches or Familiars, and others might be related to Magical Girls, Witches, or Incubators.
  • SCP-173, while lacking a Barrier, could be interpreted as a Witch whose wish and subsequent transformation is related to hiding something she perceives as shameful, likely her physical appearance.
  • SCP-231-1through 7 is are witches. Piling more despair on to them somehow makes them dormant, but it also makes them stronger. Judging by the number of casualties, the first one was strong already, but it was somehow destroyed. By SCP-231-6, It's the strength of walpurgis night. SCP-231-7 is probably the strength of kreimhild gretchen.
  • SCP-087 is a classic example of a Barrier. SCP-087-1 may be a Witch, but it is more likely merely a Familiar, as the Barrier doesn't completely overwrite reality like the Barriers of true Witches, merely distorts it like the barrier of the Familiar Sayaka fought, and because mundane humans were actually able to escape it - full Witches are supposed to be inescapable for Muggles.
  • Despite what is said on the subject in the List of Things Dr Bright Is No Longer Allowed To Do, SCP-963 IS a modified Soul Gem.
  • The fact is, almost every living, malevolent SCP could theoretically be a Witch or a Familiar. Witches are low-level Reality Warpers. Witches' power sets result from their grief and their other personality traits, and are otherwise theoretically limited only by their power level. Witches need not resemble humans. Every living, malevolent SCP could theoretically be a Witch or a Familiar.
  • But it's not just Witches. Some of the non-living SCPs, especially the mind-altering ones, might also be Incubator artefacts. What do the Incubators want? Despair. Puella Magi might be the most efficient way to collect it, but not the only way. Why settle for only using the best way when you can use the best way and a number of other ways at the same time? Like something as simple and easy as dropping random, super-scientific artefacts around the place in ways likely to create grief. Or even modifying such artefacts in ways designed to create grief (explaining why Most Of The SCPs Are Trying To Kill You).
    • SCP-078? Might as well have the Incubators' signature on it.
    • Dr Wondertainment? Possible Incubator front. The Factory? Definitely Incubators.
  • Also, many of the other SCPs could be wishes gone wrong. Just use your imagination.
  • The SCP Foundation? Created by a wish. 'I wish someone was capable of dealing with all this supernatural stuff, and locking it away from the world for good!'.

SCP-1529 is an Anzat, or something similar to one.
  • In the comments page, the author said he isn't sure what exactly it does to its victims that is so awful it needs to be redacted beyond being "messy, physically invasive, and painful", and that whatever it takes from them, it ISN'T body heat. The man who survived an encounter with it said that it quoted George Mallory, who we know was one of its first victims. The Anzati are a race of psychic vampires from Star Wars Legends who kill their victims by luring them in with hypnosis and then inserting tendrils through their nostrils to liquify and consume their brains, which gives them access to the thoughts and memories of their victims. Consuming brains in this manner is "messy, physically invasive, and painful", and having access to Mallory's memories would explain how the creature was able to repeat something he'd said far from the mountain. Like SCP-1529, the Anzati appear mostly human (until they extend their tendrils), have mental-manipulation abilities, have low or no body heat, and are known to be long-lived.

SCP-106 is the Unwanted House Guest
They're both really creepy looking with big creepy grins. They also both like to sneak up on and attack everyone in sight.

SCP-169 is the Leviathan from ''Atlantis: The Lost Empire
  • It's just called "the Leviathan" on the site, but there are enough similarities to make one suspicious. It's described as inhabiting the Atlantic Ocean, and resembling a gigantic arthropod—both attributes that fit the Leviathan from the Disney movie to a T.

Amigara Fault is an SCP.
Since direct crossovers can't be added to the site, it'll never get a write-up, but the story almost feels like it was written with SCP in mind. There's a memetic hazard, parts reminiscent of a tale and, of course, a gruesome ending.

The foundation shall one day discover Rapture.
Because come on, that crossover would be awesome, right?
  • Maybe 682 is Gil Alexander?

Time Cube is an art installation of AWCY?
'Are We Cool Yet?' may be working on something very big there. Let's just hope it will soon be contained.

Some of the SCPs were created by Elsa
Based on this theory, SCP-457 is in fact Hans, transformed after getting fire powers to get revenge on the two sisters, but it went horribly wrong and he went mad. SCP-630 is the result of a corrupt Peruvian official trying to get Elsa to make a superweapon for him that became too dangerous. SCP-924 is in fact an experimental prototype bodyguard that Elsa made. And SCP-1867 met her when he was human.

The world of the SCP Foundation is an alternate Doctor Who dimension.
We know that during The Last Great Time War, the War Doctor time-locked the war to prevent its creations from wreaking havoc and turning the rest of the universe into a living hell. This universe is one in which The Doctor died during the war and therefore never time-locked it, allowing horrors created by Time Lord and Dalek alike such as the Nightmare Child, the Skaro Degradations and the Horde of Travesties, among countless other horrors free to inflict terror beyond imagining on that timeline.

Further, without The Doctor to save us, we've had to save ourselves - resulting in the dark horror and frequently restarted/destroyed nature of the SCP-verse.

The Foundation will become Cerberus
Near-unlimited funding? Check. Morally ambiguous experiments with little or no regard for the safety of its employees? Check. Doing all of this with the best interests of humanity in mind? Check. They might even have some Reaper tech hidden away in containment...

SCP-261 comes from the universe/future of Transmetropolitan
One of the running gags of that series is the utterly absurd array of products available due to having access to "Makers" (machines which can assemble goods from scratch using nanobots, somewhat like Star Trek replicators) and genetic engineering. It's not unknown for someone to order a box of baby seal eyeballs, or see "Powdered Irish Children" on a shelf. These makers can also have artificial intelligence and their own personalities, such as how Spider's tends to manufacture electronic drugs for itself.

So it makes sense that in the Transmetropolitan universe vending machines would work in a manner similar to SCP-261. The reason that opening it up doesn't reveal any contents is that the contents don't exist until ordered; why stock a vending machine with snacks when it can create them? The various Weird World, Weird Food items it tends to produce perfectly match the odd tastes seen in The City (especially since people can modify their own genetics to consume almost anything). And the machine's attitude (it dispensed gummies shaped like a hand Flipping the Bird which contained a lethal dose of cyanide when given a counterfeit coin) pretty accurately reflect the attitudes seen in that comic, as well as suggesting the machine has an AI.

The Foundation and/or the objects it contains is responsible for The Leftovers universe
For example there's SCP-2000, the Reset Button: For whatever reason they couldn't restore 2% of the human population (about 140 million people) but considered it an acceptable loss. Mass amnestics didn't work properly and apparently had an adverse effect on pets who witnessed the event(s). According to Word of God we'll never learn what happened to the missing people, which is just fine for the Foundation unless the new Groups of Interest (the Guilty Remnant and Holy Wayne) or the behavior of the affected pets become anomalous themselves.

The Foundation is in possession of various famous fictional artifacts.
Examples include:

Purple Guy is a member of the SPC.
He ripped Golden Freddy apart by punching him in one of the cutscenes; how else could he have fists like that?

William Afton made SCP-158.
He was a Mad Scientist Serial Killer and became interested in remnant. SCP-158 was meant to serve as a more sophisticated method of extracting and experimenting with remnant, however shortly after he finished it he went to Fazbear's to cover his tracks and got stuck in Springtrap. Because of this 158 never got used and eventually founded its way to a hospital, whcih burned down and caught the Foundation's attention.

SCP-096 is an albino Enderman.
It's a tall, thin entity with abnormally long arms that's docile unless people look directly at it, at which point it screams and tries to kill them.

The player character in Everybodys Gone To The Rapture is an investigating SCP Agent.
The signal was successfully contained, and the town has been erased from maps and memory to prevent people from going in and possibly being infected by the entity.

The SCP-231s are dark counterparts of Laura.
Their powers will instead distoy us all the good guys. Notice how after Laura is assaulted by orcs her "power" never manifests, and Legolas had the same thing happen and has no "power", implying the attack destroyed the powers. Lacking orcs and a Dark Lord with a tube of Posion, the power-cancelling ritual equivalent involving humans has to be redone regularly, while if they had orcs it would only take once.

The current state of SCP-2800 is Growing Form.
He can be stronger, much stronger.

SCP-096 is the anti-Boo.
Boos are a ghosts who attack you when your back is turned, but freeze up in terror when someone looks at them. SCP-096 is living being who is hostile to anyone that looks at its face, but super-docile when no-one is looking. Alternatively, it's an actual Shy Guy on roids.

The Navidson Record is a work affected by SCP-2747
Like the other narratives affected by the SCP the film is lost, yet Zampano's analysis treats it as real.

The SCP Foundation Earth is Roundworld
Multiple SCPs have hinted or directly stated that the SCP foundation universe runs on rules of Narrative Causality, most notable I.H.Pickman's Proposal which explicitly uses the term.

This creates a direct link to Discworld, which conveniently already contains a copy of earth within a sub-universe created by the Unseen University. Roundworld supposedly contains no magic whatsoever, but has at multiple times been visited by Discworld entities such as the Auditors of Reality, showing that it is clearly compatible with the existence of magic, even if it possesses none natively. Roundworld was also referenced before it's creation, showing that it can interact with time non-linearly.

So, at some point in the past or future, the wizards growing bored of Roundworld stop paying attention to it, and Narritivium starts leaking into the SCP Foundation universe. The 'how' isn't really relevant, maybe it just naturally does that over time, maybe a wizard miscast a spell, or maybe the Auditors decide that they like it and come back to stay. Whatever the reason, Magic starts to appear, narratives start to form.

But they aren't complete. Magic is still a smaller presence than Physics in roundworld, so when Narratives assert themselves they come out half-formed, thoughts without conclusions, ideas that won't sit still, villains without heroes. Broken things that follow the laws of neither Narrative nor Physics, ending up somewhere in-between. Anomalies.

The unique nature of roundworld time means this happens retroactively. Anomalies can be 'created' in the past or the future, altering the history of Roundworld. Eventually Roundworld realizes that nobody is looking out for them anymore, and the Foundation rises to protect them.

But the Narrative keeps slipping in. The anomalies keep increasing, retroactively, until the physics of Roundworld can no longer stand it, and they break. Time fractures, and the foundation with it, history is split into multiple seperate but distinct narratives, new 'canons' that exist entirely seperate from each other.

SCPs keep appearing, their danger keeps growing as the narrative keeps leaking, but the Foundation is always able to contain them, always able to survive. Because the more the odds are stacked against them, the more the Narrative wants them to win. The Narrative loves an underdog.

Oh sure, they will still lose sometimes. There will be containment breaches, and countless faceless extras will die, but the important parts will go on, the characters with narrative weight will continue to exist, because they are the protagonists.

  • The Wanderer's Library exists in L-Space.
  • Type-Greens are individuals who switch from Homo Sapiens to Pan narrans, and become able to manipulate their narrative.
  • An ΩK-Scenario is what happens when Death goes on a vacation, and doesn't get a replacement like in Reaper Man.
  • A ZK-Class Reality Failure event happens when either Azrael Death of Universes reaps their universe, or someone accidentally breaks the dome containing them on Discworld.

SCP-3125 is a variant of The Entities/Dread Powers/Fears
Whilst the Entities are heavily based around human fears and SCP-3125 is a conceptual corrupter that doesn't need a ritual to enter baseline reality, both have starking similarities.
  • Abstract entities that originated outside of baseline reality.
  • Capable of manifesting entities associated with it in baseline reality (Avatars, monsters, objects, groups associated with them).
  • Drastically changing baseline reality upon their arrival on it.

The Oldest House from Control is either an SCP site, or a facility associated with a rival organization.
The creators of Control even stated that the game was inspired by the SCP Foundation. Copyright nonsense would prevent an actual crossover, but it's fun to think that they're part of the same universe.
  • The Federal Bureau Of Control is specifically mentioned as a U.S. Government agency, so it'd more likely be considered a Group Of Interest, if the Foundation were aware of their existence (if we assume they do exist in the same universe, and considered they are not listed in the SCP wiki's GOI page, they are not). However, their methods of investigation, documentation and containment of anomalies are suspiciously similar to the Foundation's, so it actually seems quite plausible that the Bureau was founded by former Foundation personnel. Also, if the Bureau existed in the same universe, it'd make the existence of the FBI's Unusual Incidents Unit ironic, since the UIU is hilariously underfunded and underappreciated, while there's another government agency that does the exact same job but seems to have unlimited funding.

SCP-3930 is a region of the pale
Additionally, other regions like it exist across the world, and soon, they will grow to consume everything.

Kokichi is somehow connected to Dr. Clef
Both are The Friend Nobody Likes of their respective casts due to their habits of being lying trolls. Kokichi also makes several facial expressions in his sprites and inverts his own color palette in one of them, something not too out of line for a Reality Warper with a Cheshire Cat Grin like Clef. That being said, though, they have very different opinions on killing.

SCP-993 and Pennywise are part of the same species.
Obviously they're both sadistic eldritch abominations who take the form of clowns, and we don't know exactly where either came from. Their tastes are different, however; while Pennywise enjoys "salting the meat" with fear, Bobble the Clown feeds off kids' cruelty and uses his Reality Warper powers to Corrupt the Cutie instead of shapeshift. He's a lot smarter than Pennywise and isn't a Psychopathic Manchild, so he keeps his true nature secret lest the Foundation beef up security.

Dr. Wondertainment exists in the Toy Story universe.
You've got an anomalous toymaker who's made Living Toys, and a series about toys being alive. In that universe Dr. Wondertainment managed to take over the toy market long ago, proving a lot more succesful than his prime counterpart. The SCP Foundation or something similar also exists in that universe, so in order to not deal with them he ingrained the toys with an instinct to not let people know they're alive; that way The Masquerade is preserved. Sid later became a member of the SCP Foundation after learning toys were alive/anomalous, and uses being a garbage man as a cover.

SCP knows about The Lost Room, but have not been able to secure the key and other items from it.

The Wiki is in an Hopeless War on the attempts of teaching content-creators An Aesop of "Originality" but have no evidence to back it up at ALL, their content is in one-form-of-many manipulated into something else that was connected to the original creation. You have to make something someone already owns!?

Melanie Martinez's song "Teddy Bear" is about SCP-1048.
Its creator poured love into it and brought it to life, and 1048 loved its creator right back. It loved them so much, in fact, that it used its abilities to create more of itself, out of whatever materials it could find. More bears meant more for everyone to love! But something was very wrong with those replicas, either because of them or something that went wrong during 1048's creation, and they killed people instead of showing them love. 1048's creator, disgusted and horrified, rejected 1048 and tried to throw it away. 1048 took that about as well as could be expected.
