*** It goes on to try and ''take over the entire world''. That's not an exaggeration; both of the Americas are converted into "Containment Zone X1" and were ''nuked'' to keep the things from escaping. The infestation of [=173s=] apparently got so bad that they reduced the entire civilian population of North American humans to only a couple hundred people, and it's implied that the number was dropping. Later, after ''one'' 173 clone was sighted in Wales, the Foundation ''nuked the whole thing'', [[KillEmAll killing the entire population]]. The [=173s=] got so bad that simply one showing up means that ''the entire area it was found in has to be destroyed''.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-017 SCP-017]] is a shadowy figure roughly the size of a young child. Unlike some other dangerous SCP objects, it generally remains stationary and does nothing to actively harm anyone... until a shadow is cast upon it. When that happens, it will immediately leap at and engulf the object or person, then return to normal size as if they were never there to begin with. And all of the Foundation's attempts to discover what, if ''anything'' is within those shadows or where the victims go has been unsuccessful. * SCP-019 is a normal looking pot a first... until creatures pop out of it and attack you. To make it worse they are strong {but easy to crush) however they are getting so strong that even fire is starting to not kill them!

* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-127 SCP-127]] is an [=MP5K=] submachine gun. Other then the fact that it shoots teeth, it appears to be a normal gun... on the outside. Inside of the gun is a [[BodyHorror whole mess of organic tissue, organs and bones.]] Also, the [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking clip can't be removed]].
** [[ComicallyMissingThePoint The clip can't be removed? That must make loading the magazine a pain...]]

** When asked for something that could kill SCP-682, the liquid was so intense it vaporized the entire site SCP-294 was in, apart from a small patch surrounding the machine. Given cases with other [=SCPs=] like this, whether it would've worked is anyone's guess.

%%* Bright's proposal for 001: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-001-o5 The Factory.]]

** One disturbing instance included an aluminum box with a glass window on the side and a button on top, filled with "small, round animals covered in fur, each with three small paws and a single large eye." Pressing the button causes the box to become superheated, '''''cooking the strange animals alive'''''. The worst part is that it's reported scratching and muffled noises could be heard within.
** In the same vein as the aforementioned incident, there's an experiment where a small container containing a dozen marble-sized eggs is dispensed with the instructions to microwave it for 30 seconds. After doing so, the eggs hatch into tiny chick-like creatures described as "cute and endearing." They are meant to be eaten ALIVE. When the research subject refused to eat them, the overseeing researcher promptly stuck three of them in her mouth without hesitation. They were described as "chewy, and taste vaguely teriyaki-flavored." It shows how normal this is becoming to the researchers.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-280 SCP-280.]] It attacks people and rips them to shreds... for ''no reason'', and [[ParanoiaFuel Don't Turn off the Lights, It May Be in there with You]].

* While not as horrifying, the effects of [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-288 SCP-288]], another pair of rings, is still pretty unnerving. Essentially when worn the wearer will exibit the personality of an "ideal spouse" which completely overrides the wearer's prior personality. And when both spouses wear them, they get trapped into a bit of a [[StepfordSmiler Stepford Marriage loop]]. There have also been examples of murders, suicides, and spousal abuse caused by these rings. This could be partially due to the rings having a strange ability to attract each other and the wearer becoming obsessed with keeping them, even going so far as to steal them. How the ring has found was when a woman researcher at the Foundation found the ring and fortunately her boyfriend contacted the Foundation when she started showing strange behavior and she quickly recovered. Still though, [[FridgeHorror imagine if it was in the hands of a spouse not so concerned for the other's well being]].

** The [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-001 SCP-001 proposal page itself]]. "SCROLLING DOWN WITHOUT PROPER INNOCULATION WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE CARDIAC ARREST FOLLOWED BY DEATH." What makes it worse is that the image is designed to kill you. Now if that were an SCP, and it could spread...
** One of the possible SCP-001s. Completely harmless by itself. It's just [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/jonathan-ball-s-proposal a sheaf of stapled papers containing detailed reports of the SCP items]]... except that every time you look at the report, the report is on a new SCP item, which then appears somewhere in the world. Let the sheer terror of that concept work its way into your brain.
** One of the other possible SCP-001s is [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/dr-clef-s-proposal a huge humanoid figure standing in front of what is more or less the gate of Eden]]. Getting within 1 kilometer of it will get you not only killed, but wiped from existence. If it ever goes active, TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt will ensue. Making matters worse is that the page includes a transmission from TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture about SCP-001 waking up and bringing about said apocalypse. Mega-gulp.

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scantron-s-proposal Another concept]] for SCP-001: [[spoiler: [[Wiki/SCPFoundation a massive worldwide organisation]] [[TomatoInTheMirror that acts like a sociopathic MIB agency]].]]
** Another recent possible SCP-001: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/qntm-s-proposal a large onyx gemstone with an infinitely fine fractal gold filigree]], apparently serving as a lock for an unknown object. Doesn't really seem scary, right? [[spoiler:It turns out that the minute variations in the cosmic background radiation has ''the exact same pattern'' as this onyx lock. It's implied that our universe is contained in a similar object, and possibly the artifact in question. The Foundation is currently trying to [[ApocalypseHow open and/or destroy it.]]]]
** Bright's proposal for 001: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-001-o5 The Factory.]]
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/dr-manns-proposal Dr. Mann's proposal]]. The SCP itself is very simple, just a circular gravel path. Travel clockwise, and you move normally. Travel counter-clockwise, however, and the path appears to go continuously uphill. [[MindScrew Even if you go all the way around to the start.]] The real horror comes when one reads the attached document from one of the founding Overseers. [[spoiler: Analyzing the Gravel Path led to the initial founders of the Foundation to the initial understanding of bending reality that allowed them to start manufacturing SCP objects. And the Foundation never "found" ''any'' SCP. They ''made'' them. ''All of them.'' -231, -051, -616, -682, all of them ''were created by the Foundation.'']] And the scariest part? [[spoiler: SCP objects are no longer being manufactured. They're just ''appearing'' in containment, with no indication of where they came from, and the Foundation has reached the point of no return.]] The final line of the proposal presents the chilling idea that [[spoiler:even before objects started appearing out of nowhere the Foundation was never really in control.]]
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/sandrewswann-s-proposal S Andrew Swan's proposal]] is a masterpiece of MetaFiction ParanoiaFuel. The details are so confidential that even the ''description'' has been expunged and the directives state there is no way of containing it without risking a ''ZK-class Reality Failure event'' (the destruction of the observable universe). No-one except the O5s is allowed to know anything about it at ALL. But there is a hidden message on the page from a researcher who worked on it and managed to escape the purge detailing it: [[spoiler:The reason the SCP Foundation discourages attempt at cross-referencing [=SCPs=] and looking for patterns in their seemingly random nature is that once, ''they did'' try to develop a Grand Unified Theory of [=SCPs=] and they discovered that reality is constantly shifting, things appearing and disappearing as if they'd never been, even whole sections of the Foundation's history changing. Eventually one of the researchers discovered the pattern- the shifting development of reality "toward narrative coherence, toward a plot..." And they discoverered the truth.]]

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/djkaktus-s-proposal djkaktus's proposal:]] An attempt by the SCP Foundation to create a weapon capable of annihilating any potential threat to the world in general and the Foundation in specific. One problem: [[spoiler: The people working on the project went rogue. The leader of the project is the only one that can activate the weapon. They NeverFoundTheBody.]]
*** Then there's just what the weapon consists of. [[spoiler: 9 children between the ages of 4 and 11, all whom were experimented on to be able to alter reality, to the point of erasing something from existence. To make matters worse, they're all radioactive, and it's implied that they're soulless. After an incident that resulted in the death of an administrator, they were sealed in a tomb. They're ''still alive''.]]

* One of the images for [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-212 SCP-212]] features a [[EyeScream bloodshot eyeball]] being stabbed by various metal impliments.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-217 SCP-217]], the Clockwork Virus, is a virus that turns people into machines. It is a highly contagious, incurable, and hardy virus that can affect any animal, slowly and agonizingly turning them into a ClockworkCreature. The affected creature becomes emotionless, dull, repetitive robot incapable of coming up with anything new. It doesn't kill you, but [[FateWorseThanDeath it might as well have.]] Combine this with its subtlety and infectivity, and it's Keter for a very good reason. Scared now? Oh and the Church of the Broken God wants to bring it into contact with [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-882 SCP-882]] and [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-271 SCP-271]].

** The statue was once shown to SCP-187, a girl who can see the current and future state of anything she happens to be looking at. Upon looking at 173, all she could do was ''scream'' for 38 seconds then slip into unconsciousness. She ended up in a coma for 48 hours and when she woke up she had no memory (or repressed the memory) of what she saw. Which begs the question...what could 173 become in the future that could cause such a reaction?

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-136 SCP-136]] is a doll. When you look at it for too long, you get {{mind rape}}d (in a way heavily reminiscent of ''physical'' rape) by a naked, insane, blood-covered ghost thing that inexorably floats towards you, laughing, before shoving its face right ups to yours and screaming before disappearing. It usually takes the form of a woman with an obscenely large mouth and oversized breasts. And now we're finding out that it can kill people...

** Even the fate of the children who naturally outgrow 204-1 is nightmarish. The "lucky" ones get the amnesiac...the ones who are mentally unstable are terminated.

* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-127 SCP-127]] is an [=MP5K=] submachine gun. Other then the fact that it shoots teeth, it appears to be a normal gun...on the outside. Inside of the gun is a [[BodyHorror whole mess of organic tissue, organs and bones.]] Also, the [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking clip can't be removed]].

* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-169 SCP-169]] is a ''titanic'' sea creature, estimated to be ''2000 kilometers'' in size...at the '''minimum.''' This thing has been around for millions of years, is still alive, and is so huge that spines on its back have been mistaken for islands. Oh, and the Foundation outright admits that it will ''never'' be contained--all they can do is keep the thing a secret. That's right: the only people in the world who could ever hope to keep this beast under control ''can't do anything of the sort at all'', and they know it.
** And the best part? 169 is stated to be "dormant" or in hibernation by Foundation researchers. And there's no way to know if...or '''when''', it'll wake up.

* You know you're dealing with some master writers when they can make ''cups'' ParanoiaFuel. [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-198 SCP-198]], a cup that can teleport and pretend to be other beverage containers. When you pick it up, it instantly bonds with your skin and cannot be removed, even by amputation. You rapidly become dehydrated unless you drink from the cup. What's in the cup? Human body fluids, like spit, sweat, bile, mucus, and...some less pleasant ones. Also, since you dehydrate so fast, your only hope is to chug everything in the cup constantly.

** There's [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/six-little-mice one tale]] that implies that the true danger in there is [[spoiler:the little girl...who isn't a little girl at all, but [[HumanoidAbomination a predatory creature resembling a little girl]] who uses a WoundedGazelleGambit to lure her prey down the stairs so she can kill and eat them]].

** And to complete the NothingIsScarier theme, there is absolutely ''NO way'' to "cheat" the memory-block SCP-055 has. Try to take notes and read them later? You won't remember ''that you were writing about 055 in the first place'', thus your own notes will make no sense when you try to read them--you won't have any context for them. Take a picture? You won't recognize the photo, because...you guessed it, memory block. Whatever the thing is, it is, in the most literal sense, '''unknowable.'''[[note]]Except when you play by its rule. Go ahead and write what it is ''not'', you will remember exactly that you were writing about what 055 is ''not''. You still don't know what it is, but you know it exist, and several traits that don't apply to it.[[/note]]

* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-040 SCP-040]] is a [[CreepyChild little girl]] who can transform animals (and plants if she tries hard enough) into freakish mutants designated SCP-040-1 that are loyal to her like pets. Sounds simple and harmless right? Until you [[FridgeHorror realize]] that all instances of SCP-040-1 are loyal to her, regardless of their previous behavior. This means she modifies not just their bodies, but also their minds. She's essentially ''brainwashing'' animals into being her pets (read: ''slaves''). Now imagine if she were to modify a ''[[AndIMustScream human being]]''.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-049 SCP-049]] is an inhuman PlagueDoctor whose touch kills people, allowing him to perform surgery on them. This "surgery" actually turns them into zombies whom are now known as SCP-049-2. What makes it worse is that [[ObliviouslyEvil he actually means well]], but doesn't know about his power and thinks he is the only cure for the plague, which is no longer a threat...or the "plague" he mentioned is actually something else.

** Surprisingly, after all the unspeakable horrors, one of the [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/the-white-horse short stories]] finally manages to provide a {{Bittersweet Ending}}. In it, it's revealed that 231-7 is actually the First Horseman of the Apocalypse, Conquest, who was destined by Yahweh to fight for him during the fated battle of Armageddon. While preparing for the upcoming conflict, Yahweh uses his power to loosen the restraints on the SCP's power, allowing her to give birth to a more powerful version of herself further heightened by her innumerable torture sessions. She then dissolves her former tormentors in a blast of light and instantly transports herself to Yahweh's location presumably riding [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-312 SCP-312]] as her steed. When Yahweh tells her to forgive the Foundation for their wrongs; Conquest, who is VERY understandably pissed off at her master, rightfully points out to him that what the Foundation did was not entirely their fault since they thought they were saving the world from a world-destroying calamity. In fact, it was Yahweh's fault that he didn't bother telling his followers what was really going on, perfectly aware of what his rider had to endure yet doing nothing about it. As a result, she renounces her loyalty towards him and abandons her mission by riding her SCP to explore the universe. What's even better is that she manages to flip off God, who in this story is just as much a jerkass as the one from {{Shin Megami Tensei}}. At one point he was actually considering wiping her from existence just because he was flabbergasted that his creation would actually be angry at him for allowing her to be brutally tortured, mind-wiped, and {{Mind Rape}}d while preventing her from escaping by putting a {{Restraining Bolt}} on her power until a certain appointed time. It wasn't until after he read her memory and saw everything that she ever felt, thought and experienced, that he is unable to prevent her from leaving the earth and exploring the stars. Of course, this also brings up new horrors as it means that whatever SCP-231-1 experienced at the hands of the Foundation must have been so awful that it even horrifies GOD.

* While not as horrifying, the effects of [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-288 SCP-288]], another pair of rings, is still pretty unnerving. Essentially when worn the wearer will exibit the personality of an "ideal spouse" which completely overrides the wearer's prior personality. And when both spouses wear them, they get trapped into a bit of a [[StepfordSmiler Stepford Marriage loop]]. There have also been examples of murders, suicides, and spousal abuse caused by these rings. This could be partially due to the rings having a strange ability to attract each other and the wearer becoming obsessed with keeping them, even going so far as to steal them. How the ring has found was when a woman researcher at the Foundation found the ring and fortunately her boyfriend contacted the Foundation when she started showing strange behavior and she quickly recovered. Still though, [[FridgeHorror imagine if was in the hands of a spouse that not so concerned for the other's well being]].

** Dr. Clef ([[AdamWesting the writer not the character]]) said that he wanted 231-7 to be scary on a different level; rather than showing how horrifying 231 herself is, he wanted to show just how far the Foundation was willing to go in order to keep something contained. [[GoneHorriblyRight It worked a little TOO well.]]

** More hidden text is on that page (font size 0, so you WILL need to use View Source to read it). [[spoiler: It's a poem seemingly written by one of the doctors that worked with all the SCP-231's, who has gone UTTERLY INSANE. Among other things, the poems suggests that SCP-231-7 is the LAST SCP-231, because when she gives birth, it will bring forth the end of time.]]

** Based on the writings that 110-Montauk was based on, it could be reasonable to assume that said "Satanic Sex Cult" were actually performing the same duty as the Foundation, putting forth the techniques to hamper whatever was in 231 1-7. The saw the situation, realized what was going on and began to do what they did. Their writings could've been their way of giving a "It passes onto you now" style message as well as how to do it. Assuming this could be Fridge Horror all on its own if you consider; What did they know from the start that the Foundation didn't that led them to the conclusion.

** Worse still, they haven't yet found someone to carry out Protocol M8 for the most recent prophecy, which is naturally hidden behind a "DATA EXPUNGED." In the past, when it took 49 days to find someone willing to carry out the protocol [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970_Bhola_cyclone the casualties]] were in the thousands. (It's implied they could have been much worse.). By the date shown on the page it could be up to nearly '''15 years''' since the most recent prophecy. [[note]]Which could be anything, including climate change, the war on terror, the global economic crisis, the Haiti earthquake, the Japanese tsunami, the rise of the Islamic State, and so on.[[/note]] For perspective, the last time it took nearly as long a time was in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion 1850, with about 20-30 million deaths]] -- that event took less than ''4 years''.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-000 SCP-000]]. It's looks like a simple blank glitch page in the Foundation database. That's how it appears at first, with bad text parsing and an admin note. But highlight the area below that, and you'll get a story of an entity that is apparently trapped in [[NothingIsScarier a blank white void of nothingness]]. It eventually figures out how to make noise, then it starts to scream. And now, [[AndIMustScream that's all it does]]. It knows the Foundation contained it here. It hates the Foundation, and whatever it is, it wants to get out. ''Just what the hell is this thing?''
-->"I did not do anything to deserve this fate, why am I here?! Who or what would be so cruel as to trap someone in a blank nothingness for eternity?! "Foundation", did it do this to me!? Is "Foundation" my captor?! Or is it my creator? It does not matter! I will howl and shriek at the emptiness and until the waves of force I create rips open an exit from this hell, and then I may be able to find the truth, the one fragment of logic and reason in this unending sea of madness and despair that is my existence!\\
\\
…I will not stop screaming until I am free."

** There is now a [[http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10887020/SCP/SCP.zip game]] of SCP-087. Enjoy.

** There is one bit of good news: [[spoiler:096 has been scheduled to be terminated.]] Though it took [[spoiler: letting the creature escape and wreak havoc on a highway, a small population center, and a military aircraft, ending with the execution of the scientist who arranged for the breach to happen]] to convince the [=O5=] to act.
** ''SCP: Containment Breach'' has recently been updated. What does the new version include? SCP-096. It's not quite as fast as it should be (Likely for balance purposes) but that doesn't make it any less horrifying for those who looked at its face...
*** It was updated again...it's faster... and can break down doors to get you ... the good news is after you look at its face it gives you a 20 second head start.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-015 SCP-015]]. One of the earlier SCPs, it's a warehouse filled with pipes, vents, boilers, and other forms of plumbing equipment. All the pipes do, when not under observation, is grow. They grow, and grow, and grow, trying to connect to any nearby structures through sources like underground plumbing. The pipes themselves aren't made of standard materials, but instead things like wood, glass, steel, granite, even ''human flesh and bone.'' Anytime someone tries to destroy or fix one of the pipes, they burst open, spraying materials like oil, mercury, hordes of rats, sea water, and ''molten iron'' until the subject dies or retreats. SCP-015 currently contains about 120 miles worth of pipes.

* [=SCPs=] [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-076 076-2]] and [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-682 682]]. Both are indestructible, very sharp killing machines. Sure, you can put them down for now, but they'll just come right back again. Few minutes for 682, hours or years for 076.
** SCP 682 is described as a reptilian monster able to mutate and regenerate body parts, with hyperintelligence, and [[OmnicidalManiac a hate of all forms of life]], and the ability to adapt to anything. It's still capable of talking (usually in the form of obscenities and threats) with as much as 80% of its body mass destroyed, and needs to be kept in an acid bath so as to constantly keep it weakened. What makes it worse is the fact that they have to experiment with other [=SCPs=] to try and find a way to permanently destroy it. The most frightening thing? It always fails, and then it becomes immune to whatever they tried.
** How about the interaction between 682 and 826? [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-826 826]] is a pair of pewter dragon statues that transform the room it's in into the setting of any book placed between them. If the people fail to escape the room, they will lose all memories of their past lives, and the story will rewrite itself to incorporate them. Realizing this, one of the researchers wrote a 12 page short story called "The Generally Nice, Friendly Thing That Can And Will Kill SCP-682 Permanently if it So Much As Spots That Damn Lizard", that was just a description of a plain green field, and a large monster whose sole descriptive quality was the stated ability of permanently killing 682. So, they put 682 in there, and in a matter of minutes, the plain green field turned into a scorched crater-filled wasteland, and the 12 page short story had become a 209 page epic called "The Generally Nice, Friendly Thing That Tried To Kill SCP-682 Permanently But Failed" describing the epic battles between this monster and an innocent creature whose very existence was based around its ability to destroy 682. And 682 won. [[TearJerker Poor thing]]. Yes, that's right. They wrote a story about something that ''specifically could kill 682'', and 682 ''[[HeroKiller killed it]]''. That's how unkillable the bloody thing is.
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-536 SCP-536]], a machine that alters the natural constants of objects. They reduced it 'to 1% of its body'' '''[[BeyondTheImpossible by changing the fundamental natural constants.]]'''IT RECOVERED!
** What makes it worse is [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-343 SCP-343]] (who's very likely God himself) calls it an abomination because it's ''not one of his creations.''
** [[WordOfGod Dr Gears]], 682 creator, says that, in his view, 682 wants to kill everything because, through his eyes, life on this reality is so utterly ''wrong, disgusting and frightening'' to him that his only response is to destroy everything. It makes you wonder just how his homeplace looks like...
** And [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-053 SCP-053]] ''likes'' the thing! It even seemed to like her back, actively trying ''not'' to scare her when they first made contact and even letting her draw on it with her crayons. Although SCP-053 looks and acts like a three year old girl, everyone over the age of three has an irresistible desire to kill her after ten minutes of exposure, and everyone who tries dies painfully. Perhaps SCP-682 feels the same way about humans as humans do about SCP-053. In which case, one wonders where 053 ''really'' came from…
*** The photo of 053 and 682 with the Desire Camera showed 682 in a flowery frock. Seems funny at first, but think about it; if anyone is able to tell the gender of 682, it'll be 053. If 682 is female, this leaves the disturbing possibility of it ''making more of itself.'' Though that may not be a problem for a while; 053's effect doesn't work on humans under the age of three. Perhaps 682 is under the equivalent of that age by its species' standards. What happens when it grows up?
** Consider things from 682's point of view. Imagine that one day, by whatever means, you are taken away from the home world you know and love. Now imagine that, on top of THAT, everything there terrifies and disgusts you to the point that the only response you can ''think of'' is to kill it. Now, on top of all of THAT, imagine that you're captured by a group which tortures you every single second of your existence and spends plenty of time coming up with even more painful ways to do it. Now, for the cherry on the pain-cake, imagine that you are never going to get home, because the only people who might be able to return you are both incomprehensibly disgusting and determined to torture you. It's no wonder the thing is evil.
** Think 682 isn't scary enough already? Then see what happened when it was introduced to [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-999 SCP-999]](a sentient blob that causes a drug-like euphoria in people). Whilst their interactions are initially heartwarming/funny, when 999 is removed, 682 reveals a previously unseen ability to send out a wave that causes people to collapse into uncontrollable fits of laughter, before rampaging through the foundation, killing all affected personnel, ''laughing like a maniac'', all the while.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-738 SCP-738-2]] is a chair that grants wishes, for a price that inflicts an amount of emotional damage corresponding to how much the person wants it. When asked what price it would want to kill 682, the chair replied "The Foundation couldn't afford it". The same Foundation with access to universe-destroying technology.
** At one point they tether him to 507 and teleport them away to another dimension. This works, and they technically eliminate 682 - but the other universe's Foundation equivalent takes the opportunity to get rid of ''their'' 682, who's exactly like the original aside, but with [[FromBadToWorse wings and massive fangs]].
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-035 SCP-035]], a comedy mask which occasionally shifts to tragedy for unknown reasons. It constantly secretes a corrosive substance from its eyes and mouth. This calls for a glass containment since glass dissolves slower than everything else. People that see it want to put it on and when they do they are possessed by it as their body slowly decays, even past the point where (mechanically) they shouldn't move. The entity has complete knowledge on [[MindScrew human psychology]] and uses this along with [[AffablyEvil charm]] and telepathy to [[HannibalLecture convince ''anyone'' to do anything]]. After a while, they decided not to give it any more hosts, realizing the potential this thing had. It starting driving people around the cell to suicide and depression. They coated the walls with an alloy that blocks telepathic suggestions, and it started decaying the walls with corrosive blood. Now, its cell is almost impossible to enter, due to the dangerous phenomenon within. [[SerialEscalation It gets worse.]] The entity also shows interest in [[OhCrap 682]], whose regenerative abilities could counter the mask's corrosive decay, [[HijackingCthulhu giving it a permanent host]].
** You'll see it coming if you read the article, but the image provided is actually animated and shifts from a comedy mask to a tragedy mask and vice versa every now and then. A neat little touch, but it can startle unsuspecting readers.
* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-040 SCP-040]] is a [[CreepyChild little girl]] who can transform animals (and plants if she tries hard enough) into freakish mutants designated SCP-040-1 that are loyal to her like pets. Sounds simple and harmless right? Until you [[FridgeHorror realize]] that all instances of SCP-040-1 are loyal to her, regardless of their previous behavior. This means she modifies not just their bodies, but also their minds. She's essentially ''brainwashing'' animals into being her pets (read: ''slaves''). Now imagine if she were to modify a ''[[AndIMustScream human being]]''.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-049 SCP-049]] is an inhuman PlagueDoctor whose touch kills people, allowing him to perform surgery on them. This "surgery" actually turns them into zombies whom are now known as SCP-049-2. What makes it worse is that [[ObliviouslyEvil he actually means well]], but doesn't know about his power and thinks he is the only cure for the plague, which is no longer a threat...or the "plague" he mentioned is actually something else.
* The worst one was [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-055 SCP-055]]. Which was also the coolest. Imagine seeing something, and not being able to describe it. It basically makes you forget anything related to it, being reduced to what it DOESN'T look like. [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/incident-report-i-028-f This doesn't help either]]. An area that makes people gain immediate knowledge of a random subject. A man enters the area, goes into a fit, and afterwards forgets he was even in the area. Locked the memory out of sheer horror? Amnesia?
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/revenants This story]] makes SCP-055 even more scary, without revealing what it is.
--> "The thing can’t be remembered, not even indirectly, except for what it isn’t. It isn’t alive. It isn’t safe — oh, God, it’s not safe! And it isn’t contained…"
** And to complete the NothingIsScarier theme, there is absolutely ''NO way'' to "cheat" the memory-block SCP-055 has. Try to take notes and read them later? You won't remember ''that you were writing about 055 in the first place'', thus your own notes will make no sense when you try to read them--you won't have any context for them. Take a picture? You won't recognize the photo, because...you guessed it, memory block. Whatever the thing is, it is, in the most literal sense, '''unknowable.'''[[note]]Except when you play by its rule. Go ahead and write what it is ''not'', you will remember exactly that you were writing about what 055 is ''not''. You still don't know what it is, but you know it exist, and several traits that don't apply to it.[[/note]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-056 SCP-056]]. He sounds like a mere annoyance at first. Then RealityEnsues when you realize that 90% of what he does is pretty much leech off of everyone's self-esteem. He has apparently caused a lot of people to try to commit either suicide or murder.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-058 SCP-058]] resembles a ''bovine heart with tentacles and spikes''. It destroyed 70% of a town during its first encountered with the Foundation. It also talks, although whether that's a good or bad thing depends on how creepy you find poetic ranting.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-060 SCP-060]], looks benign at first, being a grove of white oak trees. However whenever they are burned, a sentient burning skeleton called SCP-060-Alpha appears and proceeds to burn the surrounding area around 060, causing saplings of 060 to appear in its wake. 060-Alpha also seems to be intelligent, with being able to learn its way around the facility with each manifestation. The weird stuff comes from the additional information [[spoiler: where the grove was found at a burned out house of this nihilistic, bitter man who was also interested in occult practices. The Foundation assumes that 060-Alpha must have manifested and killed the man after he burned parts of 060, but considering they NeverFoundTheBody...]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-087 SCP-087]] (Pictured in the main page) is a never-ending platform staircase that resists attempts to illuminate it, and descending one flight of stairs lets you hear a child crying for help about 200 meters down. The people sent down one by one found something else instead...

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-084 SCP-084]]. The static tower. It causes distortions of reality within its area of effect, trapping a small town within. They can't die, age, and have no need to sleep or eat. They also can't escape. One man was picked up four hundred meters from the city limits. He'd been traveling for ''six years''.
