** 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: 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 discovered the truth. There is a God, and it is SCP-001. [[NoticingTheFourthWall And it's a bunch of horror writers.]]

*** Once the Blackbird dies, O5-4, the Ambassador, ends up defecting to the Insurgency and meets up with them at an airport. Little did the Ambassador know that O5-3, the Kid, and MTF Tau-5 ("Samsara," the immortal clones) were following him there. His resultant death by an axe to the skull isn't pleasant, but special mention goes to the Kid for essentially behaving like HAL 5000 with the knobs turned UpToEleven. Their voice is also child-like and unnatural, hinting at the theory that they are an immensely powerful AI. However, we discover that O5-3 isn't just an AI — they were a young infant meant to be sacrificed to [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2845 SCP-2845]], until the Overseers had a better idea. They were then plugged into their intelligence network, which necessitated their spinal cord getting snipped. By the time the agents find them, this is the state O5-3 was in:

** And as if to top the whole thing off, 204 is ''ludicrously'' powerful. The initial capture required an ''Abrams tank'' and an '''AC-130'''. Yes...to capture this thing, you need not only one of the most powerful armored vehicles in the world, but also DeathFromAbove UpToEleven.

** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/djkaktus-s-proposal-iii Part Four, The Way It Ends]] starts with a new category - Principalis - and leads to a document from the Chaos Insurgency that reveals that the Overseer Council is the SCP in question, lists the sins of what they later call "thirteen immortal demigods", and decrees that they are to die.

*** O5-2, the Nazarene, was not killed by the Insurgency, either — she (formerly Dr. Sophia Light) in fact helped them by giving the last of the SCP-006 water and the anomalous spear. She committed suicide after realising that stopping O5-1's goals, and becoming close to him again, was impossible. And the place where O5-1 found her body? Dr. Clef's 001 proposal is real in this timeline, and it ''still'' let the last two overseers through to the Garden of Eden. Only O5-1 remains where the journal led Calvin — at the end of it, it's signed "Ukulele". No prizes for guessing that particular implication.[[labelnote:explanation]]It's one of the aliases of Dr. Alto Clef himself. He is also implied to be the "snake" in the prologue poem (according to Dr. Clef the author, Dr. Clef the character was responsible for casting humanity out of Eden).[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-001-ex The Great Hippo’s Proposal]] is a computer that, when given Special Containment Procedures for an object, will give directives on how to better improve containment. [[WordSaladHorror Most of it seems like nonsense]], but [[BunnyEarsLawyer the directives actually work most of the time]]. [[EvenEvilHasStandards But after the Ethics Committee vetoes one of its directives (involving the sacrifice of four D-Class)]], the computer becomes [[ItCanThink angry at the Ethics Committee]], making violent orders for them to have their faces removed. Then it causes O5-2 to disappear and when he returns it’s implied he’s carrying a MindVirus that infects the rest of the O5 Council, and gives 001 the control to have the Ethics Committee brutally murdered. This ends in a massive neutralisation of hundreds of thousands of [=SCPs=] before it’s implied that the O5 Council is overthrown and the computer is turned off, forcing the SCP Foundation to start over from scratch. The manner in which the computer destroys the Foundation from within shows how little control they really have over the anomalous, and how the world's greatest and ''only real'' protector can be so easily subverted.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-006 SCP-006]] is the Fountain of Youth. That in itself isn't so scary as it is a HealingSpring. The real concern is that the Foundation is ''hiding the fact that it is one'' to everyone but the O5s. And everyone who works on this SCP has to put on liquid-proof suits to avoid being "contaminated" with it, because if they come into contact, the protocol is to confine the "victim", perform studies on them, and execute them by [[KillItWIthFire incinerating them]], presumably so that [[HeKnowsTooMuch they cannot leak knowledge of what the 006 water really is]]. These procedures make it clear that the Foundation is willing to hide objects that could ''benefit'' humanity simply because they cannot be explained by known science.[[note]]Of course, there's also the possibility that [[AppleOfDiscord everyone would want in on this "health" water, with all the fighting and wars that would ensue]], if non-O5s knew about it, and it's not stated how much of the SCP-006 water there is, so perhaps this is for the best.[[/note]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-052 SCP-052]]: the Time-Traveling Train. Though you won’t experience anything horrifying if you step aboard, exactly where you could end up in the timeline (arrival dates range from 1976 to 2204) mean that there is a genuine risk you could meet yourself and create a temporal paradox if you arrive during a year when you are still alive. The people in the present day would see you have vanished, perhaps with a nefarious undertone. If you travel forward in time, then comes the part of [[AfterTheEnd what sort of world you might arrive to see]]? You might get lucky and get to see human progress a few years, decades, or centuries later, or end up in an alternate timeline where the Earth has undergone some sort of tragedy. Since the train has been recorded all over the world, far beyond its native lands of New York City, in numerous alternate realities (as told by an SCP “Federation” agent from the 2100s) and may even have the potential to appear at any point in human history, there’s no telling where it may go next, or which unwitting traveler may next step through the doors.

---> "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…"

** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 and goes into a fit. As soon as he enters, he screams so hard that everyone in the area is alerted, and babbles about how "It's killed all of them!", "It's unstoppable!", and "You don't know what it's capable of!". And afterwards, will forget he was even in the area. Locked the memory out of sheer horror? Amnesia?

* SCPs [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-076 076-2]] and 682 ([[NightmareFuel/SCPFoundationSCPs300To999 see here]] for more nightmare stuff about SCP-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.

** It is a golden idol with a cavity in its chest that either causes or can prevent horrifying disasters; either way, they will only abate if Protocol M8 is fulfilled. What is Protocol M8? The statue names two people: SCP-089-A and 089-B. The foundation will send out a task force to convince 089-B to complete Protocol M8 out of her own free volition. Then comes the WhamLine. "For each locution event, SCP-089-A is a healthy, unblemished human infant or child between eight months and six years of age, and SCP-089-B is that child’s natural mother. In all documented cases, at the time of the locution event SCP-089-B is alive, healthy, and experiences a strong bond of trust and affection with SCP-089-A. Following SCP-089-B’s placement of SCP-089-A in the cavity and the ignition of the inflammable materials, SCP-089-A will burn and be destroyed over a period of two to five hours." It makes sense once they translated the inscription, revealing that the idol is of the Canaanite god of [[HumanSacrifice child sacrifice]], Moloch.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-106 SCP-106]] "The Old Man". An entity resembling a rotting old man. It causes severe corrosion and decay of whatever it touches. It drags its victims into its PocketDimension (which it seems to have complete metaphysical control over) and slowly tortures them for hours or days, before ejecting their mutilated bodies back into this world. Take a look at the page [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-106 pictures]]. As if that wasn't enough, it's completely indestructible and almost impossible to successfully contain. The procedure for its recapture is, if possible, more terrifying than it is. Namely, taking a human in its preferred age bracket and injuring them by breaking a bone or cutting a tendon, placing them in a cell, and broadcasting their cries to lure in SCP-106. If SCP-106 isn't taking the bait, ''additional damage'' is inflicted. If it still isn't working, more "prey" objects are brought in. Even worse: time passes differently in the Old Man's pocket dimension. [[YearOutsideHourInside Which means that every second on the outside could be an eternity inside the pocket dimension.]] And even worse than that? The old bastard has a ''long, frog-like tongue'' that he drops on peoples' faces while he is above them. Sweet dreams.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-127 SCP-127]] is an [=MP5K=] submachine gun. Other than 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]], the [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking magazine can't be removed]] — "[[BizarreAlienBiology it seems to be permanently attached to the weapon]]".

** Also: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/revised-entry this short story]]. What would happen if said statue was replicated? Exponentially? Said entry describes 150 SCP-173s attacking and ripping apart ''SCP-682. The fucking indestructible lizard.'' And it's implied that 682 ''[[KilledOffForReal didn't regenerate]]''. These things were able to destroy him for good...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". The infestation of 173s 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. After [[NukeEm total nuclear saturation of Zone X1]], the entire remaining world's navies are to constantly patrol the coasts and sonar the oceans to prevent any 173s from escaping Zone X1. [[FromBadToWorse The final part of the story reports that instances of SCP-173 were sighted in Wales]].

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-187 SCP-187]] is a twenty-something-year-old woman who has a unique, if not, horrific, form of [[SpiderSense precognitive powers]] which shows her the present and future state of anything she is looking at, as long as the future state is sufficiently different. As a result, she often wears a blindfold because she is near crazy and suicidal from what she sees (to the point where she has to be fed intravenously because she sees all food as rancid and rotten) and must wear a pair of padded mittens which she cannot remove in case she tries to [[EyeScream rip out her eyes]]. However, her powers can be useful, when she predicted the escape of an unidentified SCP which was averted by the organization. Not that this did her any good as she was forced to participate in a series of other tests involving her meeting the Keter-levelled SCPs to see if she would predict their destructions.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-231 SCP-231-07]], a girl of undefined age who was impregnated with some kind of EldritchAbomination by a Satanic sex cult. The only way to keep it from being born is by putting her through "Procedure 110-Montauk" every twenty-four hours, which is described as involving "brutally (DATA EXPUNGED)". It can only be carried out by really obedient Class D Personnel (and before a rewrite to make it more ambiguous, only convicted sex offenders), and is being supervised by employees who have passed a psychological examination (an early warning and implication of who carries this out), and it's [[WordOfGod 10 times worse than whatever you think it is]]. By the way, the specific age of SCP-231 is not specified, only a minimum and maximum, both of which are censored in the article. But the minimum is a ''single-digit number''. And there is a fine print that you may have to View Source to find it: [[WhamLine "Don't believe it when they say they're trying to save her. Why would they bother? They've got exactly what they want exactly where they want it."]]\\

Some of the staff who were involved in the project have taken amnestics to forget it, and false memories have been implanted. This means that ''anyone'' could have been on the project and not even remember it, assuaged somewhat by the fact that you would've merely been a security guard or pen pusher; only really bad criminals serving life sentences are allowed to perform "Procedure 110-Montauk". Also, the use of amnestics was completely voluntary...although the sheer number of requests for those amnestics should tell you something. And they started using amnesia-inducing drugs on 231 herself; the sum total of 110-Montauk was starting to induce a form of shell shock in the victim. As a constant level of agony and terror needs to be inflicted to suppress the EldritchAbomination, they started wiping her mind of any knowledge of Montauk. Eventually, it was determined that a weekly dosing cycle was most efficient, as the 3rd to 4th time is the most mentally devastating; the first time is horrible, the second time establishes a pattern, and the third confirms that [[DespairEventHorizon this is what the rest of your life is going to be like]].\\

More hidden text is on that page (font size 0, so you WILL need to use View Source or copy and paste the entire entry onto a Word document to read it). It's a poem seemingly written by one of the doctors that worked with all the SCP-231s, who has gone UTTERLY INSANE and is rambling about "seven brides for the Scarlet King". Among other things, the poem suggests that SCP-231-7 is the LAST SCP-231 because when she gives birth, it will bring forth the end of time. It also implies that the procedure was terrible enough that one of the doctors shot himself in horror.\\

[[FourIsDeath Four]] lines of this invisible poem are just [[AsTheGoodBookSays Bible passages]]. Searching for those gives yet another level of disturbing: the first two (Luke 23:34, Proverbs 1:32) being reprimands against the Foundation, the third (Ezekiel 6:14) is Old Testament God [[AppealToForce boasting on how He will rain destruction]], and the last ([[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2018:21-24 Revelation 18:21-24]]) is one of the angels of the Apocalypse describing how New Babylon was annihilated, finishing with a meaningful line - "In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”

* As Dr. Bright puts it, "All the rape is in your head". The author, Clef, added that "I don't want to know what you people think it is, honestly, because I will always be disgusted at the things that people come up with. Suffice to say: yeah, it's THAT." That said, it was ''very clearly'' intended to be rape, and Bright and Clef playing coy about it does not change this. The fact that the only D-class personnel allowed were convicted sex offenders pre-rewrite, the fact that marked sexual deviancy is not to be considered an automatic fail, and the fact that some D-class personnel attempt to prolong the "procedure" make this really, really easy to put together.

* One answer to the question of what Montauk is is "nothing at all." The girl's giving birth isn't held back by her being horribly traumatized, but by the fear and dread the "procedure" generates toward the unborn and the pity and compassion directed towards the suffering girl. This is arguably more unsettling because it means the O5 Council is willing to traumatize their own organization-given cause and also that the entire containment is a gigantic bluff. Bluffs have a remarkable tendency to get called.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-238 SCP-238]], an enormous (as in "thousands of miles of tunnels") underground complex. Currently, the only thing that has worked has been blocking it off with a brick wall, and all attempts at exploration have invariably ended horribly, with reports of hallucinations, odd sounds, mysterious accidents, and [[MeatMoss partially organic walls]]. And then you get the pictures with the ''giant spiders'', combine it with the comments about an incursion finding something that wasn't "natural", and you can start guessing just what sort of thing's down in those tunnels. It doesn't get much better when you check the comments: Apparently, quite a few SCPs came from there.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-261 SCP-261]] is a [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-261-ad-de vending machine that dispenses snack foods that might be normal, strange, or bizarre]]. As SCPs go, it's actually pretty fun and not too scary. The disturbing part comes as you slowly read more and more stories about what comes out of the vending machine. The first time living food is dispensed, most researchers refuse to eat it and are as distressed by the idea as most people would be. But as more and more living food items are dispensed from the vending machine, researchers get more and more casual about it, until reports of the living, potentially thinking beings only describe their flavor. As if cramming the recently dead bodies of various cute little alien critters popping out of the machine is the normal and obvious thing to do.

** Another fun result from SCP-261 is "TASTE ME", an obvious reference to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''. It's funny, right until the part when the test subject eats it, goes into convulsions, and dies due to brain expansion. "Analysis of the cake showed large amounts of human growth hormone as well as several unidentified chemicals."

** One dispensed product is a pack of "Eetmees", [[LetsMeetTheMeat crablike creatures that beg to be eaten]], [[OrificeInvasion forcing themselves into your mouth if you refuse]]. They even loudly and cheerfully express joy when they get chewed and swallowed.

** After ''19 months'' of containment, the Foundation eventually discovered that the current larder was human, possibly a ''child'' (the age is redacted, but it’s a single-digit) that went missing with their family several decades ago. They took so long to figure out it was human because of [[BodyHorror the lack of limbs and rampant tumors]].

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-290 SCP-290]] reads like a love letter to the BodyHorror sub-genre: it's a metal sphere that reconfigures your body in wild ways while keeping you alive. The Experiment Log Addendum includes the poor test subject's head "slowly embedding itself into his thigh, both eyes absent", and a strong implication that -- possible BrainBleach warning -- the restructuring of his internal organs had re-routed some of his waste through his chest cavity.

* Speaking of disturbing food dispensers, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-294 SCP-294]] is a coffee machine that can dispense just about any kind of liquid. Like SCP-261, it's, for the most part, a lighthearted, if darkly humorous tale about a vending machine that can make anything (water, coffee, cola, beer...blood, sweat, saliva...liquid nitrogen, molten metal, sulphuric acid...) as long as it can exist in liquid form, though it operates on an extremely eerie case of being strictly literal in how it interprets your commands. If you value your appetite, do not use "joe" as a synonym for "coffee" when inputting what drink you want, especially if your name is Joe, or if there's a Joe somewhere in the room with you. Not only does SCP-261 dispense any liquid possible, but it can actively take that liquid from somewhere so it can dispense it. Said machine, if given the command 'A Cup of Joe' goes for a LiteralMetaphor in a very painful way, extracting and dispensing a mixture of bodily liquids from the nearest person named Joe. It's survivable, but the person this happened to had to be hospitalized for several weeks. There's also "The Perfect Drink", which causes the drinker to become depressive and [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] because "everything else is just a letdown now." For more straightforward ways of killing you, it will happily dispense any kind of industrial chemical you like. There's a ''reason'' why they have two security guards stationed there with orders to shoot anyone who is trying to order anything other than normal drinks or substances strictly for research.

* The very first SCP itself, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173 SCP-173]], the statue that tries to kill you if you break eye contact with it. Enlarge that page's picture to get a better idea. It appears to be ''the only thing 682 is afraid of'', as when it was locked inside 173's chamber, the creature's first response was to huddle in the corner farthest from 173 and stare at it without blinking for several hours. When snipers popped 682's eyes from afar, it responded by growing bullet-proof eyes all over its body so that it could keep 173 from getting close to it. However, while 173 did some damage to 682 before it could adapt as well as pretty much traumatizing the Hard-To-Destroy Reptile, it was unable to destroy 682.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 up to yours and screaming before disappearing. It usually takes the form of a woman with an obscenely largemouth and oversized breasts. And it can kill people. The Foundation uses it for ''enhanced interrogation'' [[note]]an euphemism for "torturing for information"[[/note]].

** 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 what you were writing about what 055 is ''not''. You still don't know what it is, but you know it exists, and several traits that don't apply to it.[[/note]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-228 SCP-228]], [[NothingIsScarier a rather simple, but effective]] entry. It's a photograph that manifests as something different each time it's viewed, based on subconscious thoughts. The anomalous effect does not persist through photographing SCP-228 but does trigger through a remote video feed. The database entry includes a live feed with instructions to report disturbing imagery to psychiatric personnel. Three guesses as to what images are usually being cycled. The image will change on a page reset after a minute or so. Images include a happy field of roses; an uncanny faceless woman in sepia tone; and a man naked and possibly unconscious, on top of a stuffed animal, in a filthy bathroom.

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, and even ''human flesh & bone.'' Anytime someone tries to destroy or fix one of the pipes, they burst open, spraying materials like oil, mercury, hordes of rats, seawater, and ''molten iron'' until the subject dies or retreats. SCP-015 currently contains about 120 miles worth of pipes. There have also been reports of banging and screaming coming from within SCP-015.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-035 SCP-035]], a comedy mask that occasionally shifts to tragedy for unknown reasons. It constantly secretes a corrosive substance from its eyes and mouth. This calls for 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]] ''[[HannibalLecture anyone]]'' [[HannibalLecture to do anything]]. After a while, they decided not to give it any more hosts, realizing the potential this thing had. It started 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]].

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]] ''[[HannibalLecture anyone]]'' [[HannibalLecture to do anything]]. After a while, they decided not to give it any more hosts, realizing the potential this thing had. It started 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 [[CreepyChangingPainting 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.

[[folder:SCP-049]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 who are now known as SCP-049-2. What makes it worse is that [[ObliviouslyEvil he actually means well]], but thinks this is the only cure for some kind of "Pestilence" that is ''not'' the Bubonic Plague but is something he cannot describe. He wants to find a ''true'' cure, one that presumably doesn't require killing people, but the Foundation won't let him continue his experiments after he "cured" the biologist assigned to him.

[[folder:SCP-052]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-052 SCP-052]]: the Time-Traveling Train. Though you won’t experience anything horrifying if you step aboard, exactly where you could end up in the timeline (arrival dates range from 1976 to 2204) mean that there is a genuine risk you could meet yourself and create a temporal paradox if you arrive during a year when you are still alive. The people in the present day would see you have vanished, perhaps with a nefarious undertone. If you travel forward in time, then comes the part of [[AfterTheEnd what sort of world you might arrive to see]]? You might get lucky and get to see human progress a few years, decades, or centuries later, or end up in an alternate timeline where the Earth has undergone some sort of tragedy. Since the train has been recorded all over the world, far beyond its native lands of New York City, in numerous alternate realities (as told by an SCP “Federation” agent from the 2100s) and may even have the potential to appear at any point in human history, there’s no telling where it may go next, or which unwitting traveler may next step through the doors.

[[folder:SCP-053]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-053 SCP-053]]. She looks and acts like an ordinary 3-year-old girl. At first. But anyone above the age of three who comes into contact with her becomes [[HatePlague overcome with extreme fear, hatred, and paranoia]] that they attack each other, then try to kill her, dying in the process while she instantly heals from any injuries she suffers. Normally, she's completely unharmed, as the last victim typically dies on the spot before they can reach her. This, coupled with the fact that '''''[[OmnicidalManiac SCP-682]]''''' is docile toward her implies that there is some sort of [[HumanoidAbomination inherent wrongness]] lurking within 053. Did we mention that anyone affected kills ''every human in the vicinity'' before going after 053 and [[AbusiveParents her parents were the first people affected]]?

** 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.

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 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…

[[folder:SCP-085]]
* When you think about [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-085 SCP-085, Cassy's]] situation, you may realize that it's both terrifying and heartbreaking at the same time; she's a [[AndIMustScream living, sentient drawing but wishes that she was human]]. Also, while she can manipulate other items on the page, and even transfer to other pages, other drawings still aren't alive; if you allow her to transfer to, say, a comic book, it's less "Cassy joins the X-Men" and more "Cassy walks around statues that look like they're in the middle of a pretty cool story." She could take Cyclops' coffee and drink it, but not talk to him. While it's not as bad as it sounds because she's not just stuck in empty whiteness — the world's as big as the amount of drawn material you can convince the O5 Council to let her have — she's also completely alone, and there's nothing to be done about it. However, she does show that the Foundation isn't all bad; references to her involve way more [[PetTheDog petting]] than [[KickTheDog kicking]].

[[folder:SCP-087]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-087 SCP-087]] 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...
** Plus, they sent four missions down into that staircase and you can only read the first three and they get progressively worse. But after the fourth mission, it started to knock on the 'door.'
** Also terrifying are the effing ''pictures'' on the thing's page. Especially the first one. It's like one of those "when you see it, you'll shit bricks" demotivators.
** Have you ever noticed that the picture seems to change? Sometimes the face will be there, and sometimes not. Right-click and select "View Image" and sometimes you'll [[SchmuckBait get a surprise]]...

** If you've played ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', SCP-087 may remind you of a certain other set of infinite stairs.

[[folder:SCP-089]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-089 SCP-089]]:
** It is a golden idol with a cavity in its chest that either causes or can prevent horrifying disasters; either way, they will only abate if Protocol M8 is fulfilled. What is Protocol M8? The statue names two people: SCP-089-A and 089-B. The foundation will send out a task force to convince 089-B to complete Protocol M8 out of her own free volition. Then comes the WhamLine. "For each locution event, SCP-089-A is a healthy, unblemished human infant or child between eight months and six years of age, and SCP-089-B is that child’s natural mother. In all documented cases, at the time of the locution event SCP-089-B is alive, healthy, and experiences a strong bond of trust and affection with SCP-089-A. Following SCP-089-B’s placement of SCP-089-A in the cavity and the ignition of the inflammable materials, SCP-089-A will burn and be destroyed over a period of two to five hours." It makes sense once they translated the inscription, revealing that the idol is of the Canaanite god of [[HumanSacrifice child sacrifice]], Moloch.
** 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, the earliest that the current prophecy could have been issued was the fourth of April in ''the year 2000''. [[note]]Since the prophecy isn't described in the article, it could be referring to anything, including climate change, the war on terror, the global economic crisis, the Haiti earthquake, the Japanese tsunami, the rise of the Islamic State, the COVID-19 pandemic, and so on. Or even all of these.[[/note]] For perspective, the next longest interval between a prophecy being given and a sacrifice being made was 1363 days. The death toll was in the tens of millions [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion and there was a massive civil war in China]].

[[folder:SCP-096]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-096 SCP-096]]: This is a [[HumanoidAbomination humanoid monster]] that has a terrifying DisproportionateRetribution...
** It is docile until you look at its face, at which point it will charge at you and kill you. This works even with pictures, and it will track you down no matter how far away you are. Also, there have been pictures spread on the internet and the SCP Foundation is still in the process of removing them. To understand how horrific this is, read [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/incident-096-1-a Incident-096-1-a]], in which SCP-096 tracks down someone who saw its face in a picture in which its body was only 4 pixels. You can be looking at a picture and never notice it's there until the monster arrives to '''''end''''' you.
** Oh, and did we mention that when enraged, he's invincible? And that he's capable of bringing down an AWACS plane? And that he doesn't just kill his victims, he also does something awful to them, [[NotEnoughToBury leaving no trace of the body]]?
** Worse still, think about 096's description. Pale humanoid with a wide mouth, long arms with large hands, blank white eyes, no hair and usually charging at anything that looks at it in a blind rage? This near perfectly matches the description of entities seen in creepy hoaxed photographs and/or videos of aliens and cryptids. ''[[ParanoiaFuel How many of those photos are actually of 096!?]]''
** There is one bit of good news: 096 has been scheduled to be terminated. Though it took 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.
** Doubling as a huge TearJerker, but one of the guys deployed to retrieve 096 from the above rampage [[DrivenToSuicide hung himself]] sometime after. Why? Because he got a front-row seat to that thing ''[[WouldHurtAChild tearing an infant apart]]''.
** One experiment has the Foundation putting a guy in a submersible at the bottom of the Tonga Trench, which is nearly eleven kilometers deep and hundreds of kilometers from where 096 was then contained. Then they showed him a picture. [[TheJuggernaut It bought the man an hour.]]

[[folder:SCP-106]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-106 SCP-106]] "The Old Man". An entity resembling a rotting old man. It causes severe corrosion and decay of whatever it touches. It drags its victims into its PocketDimension (which it seems to have complete metaphysical control over) and slowly tortures them for hours or days, before ejecting their mutilated bodies back into this world. Take a look at the page [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-106 pictures]]. As if that wasn't enough, it's completely indestructible and almost impossible to successfully contain. The procedure for its recapture is, if possible, more terrifying than it is. Namely, taking a human in its preferred age bracket and injuring them by breaking a bone or cutting a tendon, placing them in a cell, and broadcasting their cries to lure in SCP-106. If SCP-106 isn't taking the bait, ''additional damage'' is inflicted. If it still isn't working, more "prey" objects are brought in. Even worse: time passes differently in the Old Man's pocket dimension. [[YearOutsideHourInside Which means that every second on the outside could be an eternity inside the pocket dimension.]] And even worse than that? The old bastard has a ''long, frog-like tongue'' that he drops on peoples' faces while he is above them. Sweet dreams.

** [[https://web.archive.org/web/20150116205210/https://scpsandbox2.wdfiles.com/local--files/rogetbox/YOUWANTSOMECANDY.jpg WANT SOME CANDY]].
** SCP-106, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-young-man the early years]].
** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/until-death This short story]] suggests an alternate origin for 106: Remember [[TheWoobie poor]] Dr. Lang from the SCP-3001 entry? 106 is chasing her through the facility, ''because he is what is left of Dr. Robert Scranton''. And it ends with 106/Robert killing her. Overlaps with TearJerker, of course.
** The [[FacialHorror final image on the page]], one which demonstrates what 106 does to people, is probably the most horrific thing on the page. It's a horribly burned human face, without [[EyeScream eyes]] or teeth. The caption states that "[[CruelAndUnusualDeath Subject survived one hour after recovery]]." The ''real'' horror, though, comes from the picture's origin. It dates back to World War II, and according to Dr. Gears (the poster, not the character) is a mannequin used to show the effects of chemical and radiation burns. However, some other posters don't seem entirely convinced. While quite unlikely, [[NauseaFuel it's possible that the fourth picture does not display a mannequin]].
** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/once-but-not-now This story provides another alternate origin]], where 106 is the last of a species of predatory dimension travelers that hunted humankind for millennia. Despite the graphic content, it also doubles as a Tear Jerker, as 106 is alone and old, unable to hunt efficiently, and is going to starve to death.
** SCP-106 [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/he-sees-you also apparently likes playing the role of Santa]].
** Recently, the page has replaced the first and last image. The new first image gives more of a side shot to its mid-emergence, making the face look arguably more decayed than in the original. While the third image instead of using a picture of the radiation test dummy as mentioned above is a picture more made from scratch. Despite that the image arguably looks even more realistic and disturbing.

[[folder:SCP-136]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 up to yours and screaming before disappearing. It usually takes the form of a woman with an obscenely largemouth and oversized breasts. And it can kill people. The Foundation uses it for ''enhanced interrogation'' [[note]]an euphemism for "torturing for information"[[/note]].
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-140 SCP-140, The Daevite Empire]], a highly aggressive and militaristic civilization that once existed in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. The SCP in question is a chronicle of the empire's existence which, whenever it comes into contact with any suitable fluid (including human blood), will use that fluid as ink and retroactively add to its history, causing the Daevites to survive further and further into the future. The Daevites' history currently ends with their extermination at the hands of Genghis Khan -- when it was first discovered, they were wiped out by Qin Kai, some ''1400 years'' earlier. Worse, there's more than one copy of the chronicle out there, and expansion events have happened while their copy received no fluids. The Foundation has determined that if the Daevites were to survive past a certain point in history, the results would be catastrophic [[note]]Specifically if they were to exist in 1███ CE, which would constitute to a shift in class dominance, a global-scale conflict projected to have an ''extremely high'' death toll, and shattering the Foundation's secrecy to the world[[/note]].

[[folder:SCP-148]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-148 SCP-148, Telekill]], the alloy the foundation used to coat the walls of 035. It's a metallic substance that blocks ''every'' mind-altering property near it. As such, the Foundation decided that it was tremendously useful and used it on the containment of several mind-altering SCP entities. However, after some personnel guarding the biggest stash of the substance began to have symptoms of degenerating language and communication skills, they discovered that the alloy worked basically by eating the language centers of anyone near it. After an experiment with an unknown SCP that not only confirmed it but also demonstrated that, after a certain "saturation" level, 148's effect was nullified and the mind-altering SCP effects got even stronger, the Foundation immediately forbid the use of 148 with any mind-altering SCP. That 035's cell is still coated with the substance can be interpreted as either that the effects of the 035 and 148 combinations are such that the Foundation couldn't recover the alloy on time after the change in politics, or, as bad as things are, not having the coat of 148 there could have made the phenomena worse.

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.
** Even worse? The last part of the entry, about how some information about the creature was leaked to the public, is referencing a ''real-life thing'': [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop Bloop]], a mysterious sound picked up off the southern tip of South America. While the sound appears to be made by an animal, whatever made it would have to be bigger than a whale.[[note]]Although in real life, the Bloop has [[ScienceMarchesOn long been explained]] as a sped-up recording of an icequake[[/note]]

[[folder:SCP-173]]
* The very first SCP itself, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173 SCP-173]], the statue that tries to kill you if you break eye contact with it. Enlarge that page's picture to get a better idea. It appears to be ''the only thing 682 is afraid of'', as when it was locked inside 173's chamber, the creature's first response was to huddle in the corner farthest from 173 and stare at it without blinking for several hours. When snipers popped 682's eyes from afar, it responded by growing bullet-proof eyes all over its body so that it could keep 173 from getting close to it. However, while 173 did some damage to 682 before it could adapt, it was unable to destroy 682.
** Also: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/revised-entry this short story]]. What would happen if said statue replicated? Exponentially? Said entry describes 150 SCP-173s attacking and ripping apart ''SCP-682. The fucking indestructible lizard.'' And it's implied that 682 ''[[KilledOffForReal didn't regenerate]]''. These things were able to destroy him for good...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". 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. After [[NukeEm total nuclear saturation of Zone X1]], the entire remaining world's navies are to constantly patrol the coasts and sonar the oceans to prevent any 173s escaping Zone X1. [[FromBadToWorse The final part of the story reports that instances of SCP-173 were sighted in Wales]].
** 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 1 minute and 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 raises the question...what could 173 become in the future that could cause such a reaction?

As a result, she often wears a blindfold because she is near crazy and suicidal from what she sees (to the point where she has to be fed intravenously because she sees all food as rancid and rotten) and must wear a pair of padded mittens which she cannot remove in case she tries to [[EyeScream rip out her eyes]]. However, her powers can be useful, when she predicted the escape of an unidentified SCP which was averted by the organization. Not that this did her any good as she was forced to participate in a series of other tests involving her meeting the Keter-levelled SCPs to see if she would predict their destructions.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-201 SCP-201]] is an old medical apparatus that teleports anyone who comes within 30 meters to an alternate reality within a period of 48 hours. While this reality superficially resembles Earth, it exists in a perpetual state of twilight and is devoid of all life; all places of human habitation appear as if everyone suddenly vanished at the same instant. [[YearOutsideHourInside Time elapsed in this reality can vary greatly from our own]], but that's not the worst part. The worst part is that people sent to this reality are left to wander it, alone, before being randomly returned to our world. There are no monsters, no weird phenomena, and no other presences. [[NothingIsScarier Just complete and utter isolation with no idea how long you'll be stuck.]] The longest recorded time someone spent there was eight years. If anyone tried to repair any communication devices in that realm, they would receive an automated message coming from the Foundation itself. The link the discovery leads to is related to SCP-2935. This relation may be considered shoehorned solely because of similarity between the two [=SCPs=], but there are arguably even more horrifying implications than before. The first version of the page lacked the relation to another object, but it had [DATA EXPUNGED], which may or may not have been encountered in the alternate world.

[[folder:SCP-204]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-204 SCP-204]]. 204 comes in two parts: 204-1 is a colony of nanomachines that follows around 204-2, protecting them from harm. 204-2 is a child aged from 4 to 14, with a history of being abused, who can control 204-1. When 204-2 turns fourteen, 204-1 finds a new child to protect, and, if the former 204-2 is mentally stable, the former 204-2 is given a Class-A amnestic and put into a foster care program. That's not the NightmareFuel. The real NF comes from an addendum that explains that due to 204-1 freaking out if there isn't another suitable child to imprint on if needed, the Foundation has a group of suitable candidates. However, if they really need candidates quickly, they can enlist some more candidates who don't fit the protocol- i.e., they are of a suitable age (preferably under ten), but they don't have a history of abuse. The Foundation will then '''turn them over to 'caretakers' which will consist of D-class personnel convicted of violent crimes, child abuse, and pedophilia'''. It also says that the procedure for hiring the 'caretakers' is the same one for finding people to perform Procedure 110-Montauk on SCP-231. Jesus Christ.
** Oh, and as an aside? SCP-204 will psychically manipulate whatever it's guarding into taking dangerous actions so it is forced to protect what it is guarding, and thus allowed to feed. The SCP literally forces the child into danger so it can feed.
** And on top of that? Right now it's guarding a '''complete sociopath''' who is very quick to threaten people with the hungry, amoral nanomachines!
** And as if to top the whole thing off, 204 is ''ludicrously'' powerful. The initial capture required an ''Abrams tank'' and an '''AC-130'''. Yes...to capture this thing, you need not only one of the most powerful armored vehicles in the world, but also DeathFromAbove UpToEleven.
** Even the fate of the children who naturally outgrow 204-1 is nightmarish. The "lucky" ones get the amnestic...the ones who are mentally unstable are terminated.
** Crosses into TearJerker territory with the footnote. The 'caretakers' initiative? The Foundation has never had to enact it. Not once in any way. There are plenty of abused children to choose from, it seems.

[[folder:SCP-205]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-205 SCP-205]]. A pair of flood-lamps that project shadows that are telling a terrifying story about a girl meeting, mating with, and getting killed by horned humanoids. Then you realize the shadows are more like actors reenacting the story, and that you really don't want to catch their attention. But that's not the worst part: it looks like the girl didn't realize she was living with monsters before taking pictures of them. [[ParanoiaFuel Meaning that to normal eyes they look human, and that they could be walking among us unnoticed.]] Oh, and the circumstances of the recovery of the lamps make it clear that everything displayed by the shadows actually happened.

[[folder:SCP-217]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 an 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 [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-882 SCP-882]] and [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-271 SCP-271]].
** This and the other entry mentioning it here should tell you how scary ''those'' guys are. They don't want to try these things together like "poke the thing and see what happens," no. Basically, the "Broken God" is what they believe to be a deity whose parts have been separated. All of the ''most'' NightmareFuel-inducing machinelike SCP items are apparently part of a whole. Recreating that whole is the Church's ultimate goal. Of course, we don't know if they're right. If they ''are,'' some of the worst complex [[ArtifactOfDoom Artifacts of Doom]] actually make a whole greater than the sum of its parts, and that whole is ''sentient.''

[[folder:SCP-231]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-231 SCP-231-07]], a girl of undefined age who was impregnated with some kind of EldritchAbomination by a Satanic sex cult. The only way to keep it from being born is by putting her through "Procedure 110-Montauk" every twenty-four hours, which is described as involving "brutally (DATA EXPUNGED)". It can only be carried out by really obedient Class D Personnel (and before a rewrite to make it more ambiguous, only convicted sex offenders), and is being supervised by employees who have passed a psychological examination (an early warning and implication of who carries this out), and it's [[WordOfGod 10 times worse than whatever you think it is]]. By the way, the specific age of SCP-231 is not specified, only a minimum and maximum, both of which are censored in the article. But the minimum is a ''single-digit number''. And there is a fine print that you may have to View Source to find it: [[WhamLine "Don't believe it when they say they're trying to save her. Why would they bother? They've got exactly what they want exactly where they want it."]]\\
\\
Some of the staff who were involved in the project have taken amnestics to forget it, and false memories have been implanted. This means that ''anyone'' could have been on the project and not even remember it, assuaged somewhat by the fact that you would've merely been a security guard or pen pusher; only really bad criminals serving life sentences are allowed to perform "Procedure 110-Montauk". Also, the use of amnestics was completely voluntary...although the sheer number of requests for those amnestics should tell you something. And they started using amnesia-inducing drugs on 231 herself; the sum total of 110-Montauk was starting to induce a form of shell shock in the victim. As a constant level of agony and terror needs to be inflicted to suppress the EldritchAbomination, they started wiping her mind of her knowledge of Montauk. Eventually, it was determined that a weekly dosing cycle was most efficient, as the 3rd to 4th time is the most mentally devastating; the first time is horrible, the second time establishes a pattern, and the third confirms that [[DespairEventHorizon this is what the rest of your life is going to be like]].\\
\\
The article contains an addendum added by one of the heads of the SCP foundation specifically stating (presumably to set straight employees having second thoughts about all this) that while "Procedure 110-Montauk" is quite possibly the most horrifyingly evil thing the SCP foundation has ever been involved in, failure to carry it out will result in the EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, judging by the death tolls that ensued when SCP-231-01 through SCP-231-06 gave birth. Sweet dreams.\\
\\
More hidden text is on that page (font size 0, so you WILL need to use View Source or copy and paste the entire entry onto a Word document to read it). It's a poem seemingly written by one of the doctors that worked with all the SCP-231’s, who has gone UTTERLY INSANE and is rambling about "seven brides for the Scarlet King". Among other things, the poem suggests that SCP-231-7 is the LAST SCP-231, because when she gives birth, it will bring forth the end of time. It also implies that the procedure was terrible enough that one of the doctors shot himself in horror.\\
\\
[[FourIsDeath Four]] lines of this invisible poem are just [[AsTheGoodBookSays Bible passages]]. Searching for those gives yet another level of disturbing: the first two (Luke 23:34, Proverbs 1:32) being reprimands against the Foundation, the third (Ezekiel 6:14) is Old Testament God [[AppealToForce boasting on how He will rain destruction]], and the last ([[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2018:21-24 Revelation 18:21-24]]) is one of the angels of the Apocalypse describing how New Babylon was annihilated, finishing with a meaningful line - "In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”
* Foundation Ethics Committee. They're widely regarded as ineffectual and being assigned there is taken as a "can't fire him, keep him out of the way" [[KickedUpstairs type of job]]. However, they actually override the O5 Council and during orientation, one member is absolutely ''horrified'' when he learns the truth. The Ethics Committee is in charge of weighing the moral costs of everything the Foundation does. There is no canon, of course, but it's a wholly horrifying thought that this is the '''least''' horrible thing they can do in regards to the containment of the SCP.
* Alternately, imagine being part of the support staff for the 231 containment site. Knowing what you're ordering done to the girl, watching it every day, obtaining supplies and materials to enable it, terminating anyone who tries to stop it. There's a reason why so many people associated with this thing commit suicide. Even worse, it says that, as unimaginably horrible as 110-Montauk is, there have been some Class-D Personnel who attempted to ''[[MoralEventHorizon prolong]]'' it. Talk about HumansAreBastards.\\
\\
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.]]
* As Dr. Bright puts it, "All the rape is in your head". The author, Clef, added that "I don't want to know what you people think it is, honestly, because I will always be disgusted at the things that people come up with. Suffice to say: yeah, it's THAT." That said, it was ''very clearly'' intended to be rape, and Bright and Clef playing coy about it does not change this. The fact that the only D-class personnel allowed were convicted sex offenders pre-rewrite, the fact that marked sexual deviancy is not to be considered an automatic fail, and the fact that some D-class personnel attempt to prolong the "procedure" make this really, really easy to put together.
* Surprisingly, after all the unspeakable horrors, one of the [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-312 SCP-312]] as her steed. 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 a {{jerkass}}. 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-231-7 experienced at the hands of the Foundation must have been so awful that it even horrifies GOD.
* One answer to the question of what Montauk is is "nothing at all." The girl's giving birth isn't held back by her being horribly traumatized, but by the fear and dread the "procedure" generates toward the unborn and the pity and compassion directed towards the suffering girl. This is arguably more unsettling because it means the O5 Council is willing to traumatize their own organization-given cause and also that the entire containment is a gigantic bluff. Bluffs have a remarkable tendency to get called.
* The page image for SCP-231 is a simple gray-on-gray placeholder image of the Foundation's logo, with the caption explaining that the original was [[YouDontWantToKnow removed by request of the O5 Council.]] There is never a reason given for this decision.

[[folder:SCP-238]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-238 SCP-238]], an enormous (as in "thousands of miles of tunnels") underground complex. Currently, the only thing that has worked has been blocking it off with a brick wall, and all attempts at exploration have invariably ended horribly, with reports of hallucinations, odd sounds, mysterious accidents, and [[MeatMoss partially organic walls]]. And then you get the pictures with the ''giant spiders'', combine it with the comments about an incursion finding something that wasn't "natural", and you can start guessing just what sort of thing's down in those tunnels. It doesn't get much better when you check the comments: Apparently, quite a few SCPs came from there.

[[folder:SCP-253]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-253 SCP-253]] is a contagious form of cancer. That is scary in and of itself, but it gets worse: if enough people are infected by this cancer, it will start to act as a HiveMind and take control of their bodies through the neoplasms on their brains. And if that's not scary enough, the HiveMind might be able to develop human-like intelligence.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:SCP-261]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-261 SCP-261]] is a [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-261-ad-de vending machine that dispenses snack foods that might be normal, strange, or bizarre]]. As SCPs go, it's actually pretty fun and not too scary. The disturbing part comes as you slowly read more and more stories about what comes out of the vending machine. The first time living food is dispensed, most researchers refuse to eat it and are as distressed by the idea as most people would be. But as more and more living food items are dispensed from the vending machine, researchers get more and more casual about it, until reports of the living, potentially thinking beings only describe their flavor. As if cramming the recently dead bodies of various cute little alien critters popping out of the machine is the normal and obvious thing to do.
** 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.
** Another fun result from SCP-261 is "TASTE ME", an obvious reference to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''. It's funny, right until the part when the test subject eats it, goes into convulsions, and dies due to brain expansion. "Analysis of the cake showed large amounts of human growth hormone as well as several unidentified chemicals."
** And then there's the can of "Pringles." Once you pop, you can't stop. '''''Ever'''''. Of course, it can [[CrossesTheLineTwice Cross the Line Twice]] as the next sentence says that they had to get a crowbar to keep the dead body from eating the chips.
** SCP-261 once produced a fruit from [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-417 SCP-417]]. Not much else needs to be said.
** One dispensed product is a pack of "Eetmees", [[LetsMeetTheMeat crablike creatures that beg to be eaten]], [[OrificeInvasion forcing themselves into your mouth if you refuse]]. They even loudly and cheerfully express joy when they get chewed and swallowed.
** Someone decided to try to push the coin reject button. In addition to a 0-yen coin, they also got a can containing a loud, buzzing insect inside, labeled "Stop that."
** Someone used the coin-on-a-string trick in an attempt to cheat the machine and get free snacks. It dropped a ''live grenade'' and people ''died''.

[[folder:SCP-267]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-267 SCP-267]] is a subspecies of naked mole rat that feeds on tumors. They attack large animals, paralyze them, and drag them into their burrows, where they chew off their limbs and pump them full of carcinogenic venom to feed off the tumors this creates. This means that the larder creature, usually a human, is [[FateWorseThanDeath trapped in a pitch-black, reeking cave, in constant agony as the tumors swelling all over its body are chewed off by tiny unseen monsters that vomit root pulp into its mouth on a regular basis]]. This can last for ''decades''.
** After ''19 months'' of containment, the Foundation eventually discovered that the current larder was human, possibly a ''child'' (the age is redacted, but it’s a single-digit) that went missing with their family several decades ago. They took so long to figure out it was human because of [[BodyHorror the lack of limbs and rampant tumors]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:SCP-280]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-280 SCP-280]]. It's a shadowy creature that attacks people and rips them to shreds...for ''no reason''. It can rip through steel to get to its prey, and sudden exposure to light causes it to teleport away to plan its next attack. It was first discovered where it massacred a family of five in their home, the only survivor being a nine-year-old who had come over for a sleepover and was huddling terrified in the basement with only a flashlight for protection. [[ParanoiaFuel Don't turn off the lights, it may be in there with you]].

[[folder:SCP-290]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-290 SCP-290]] reads like a love letter to the BodyHorror sub-genre: it's a metal sphere that reconfigures your body in wild ways while keeping you alive. The Experiment Log Addendum includes the poor test subject's head "slowly embedding itself into his thigh, both eyes absent", and a strong implication that -- possible BrainBleach warning -- the restructuring of his internal organs had re-routed some of his waste through his chest cavity.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:SCP-294]]
* Speaking of disturbing food dispensers, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-294 SCP-294]] is a coffee machine that can dispense just about any kind of liquid. Like SCP-261, it's, for the most part, a lighthearted, if darkly humorous tale about a vending machine that can make anything (water, coffee, cola, beer...blood, sweat, saliva...liquid nitrogen, molten metal, sulphuric acid...) as long as it can exist in liquid form, though it operates on an extremely eerie case of being strictly literal in how it interprets your commands. If you value your appetite, do not use "joe" as a synonym for "coffee" when inputting what drink you want, especially if your name is Joe, or if there's a Joe somewhere in the room with you. Not only does SCP-261 dispense any liquid possible, but it can actively take that liquid from somewhere so it can dispense it. Said machine, if given the command 'A Cup of Joe' goes for a LiteralMetaphor in a very painful way, extracting and dispensing a mixture of bodily liquids from the nearest person named Joe. It's survivable, but the person this happened to had to be hospitalized for several weeks. There's also "The Perfect Drink", which causes the drinker to become depressive and [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] because "everything else is just a letdown now." For more straightforward ways of killing you, it will happily dispense any kind of industrial chemical you like. There's a ''reason'' why they have two security guards stationed there with orders to shoot anyone who is trying to order anything other than normal drinks or substances strictly for research.

** 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: 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 discovered the truth. There is a God, and it is SCP-001. [[NoticingTheFourthWall And it's a bunch of horror writers.]]
** If you enter the encryption key identifying you as an O5 member with full authorisation of the O5 council, you can read Containment Protocol ZK-001-Alpha, their final sanction against SCP-001 to be used only in the most dire of emergencies. They will virally insert a series of memetic attack agents into the SCP database itself that will [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou infect members of SCP-001 and induce a state of calmness and well-being, followed by catatonia and finally a quiet death]]. [[ParanoiaFuel That's right, they've prepared a weapon to kill YOU as you browse the database]].

Then there's just what the weapon consists of. 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''.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-006 SCP-006]] is a HealingSpring. That in itself isn't so scary. The real concern is that the Foundation is ''hiding the fact that it is one'' to everyone but [=O5s=]. And everyone who works on this SCP has to put on liquidproof suits to avoid being "contaminated" with it, because if they come into contact, the protocol is to confine the "victim", perform studies on them, and execute them by [[KillItWIthFire incinerating them]], presumably so that [[HeKnowsTooMuch they cannot leak knowledge of what the 006 water really is]]. These procedures make it clear that the Foundation is willing to hide objects that could ''benefit'' humanity simply because they cannot explained by known science.[[note]]Of course, there's also the possibility that [[AppleOfDiscord everyone would want in on this "health" water, with all the fighting and wars that would ensue]], if non-[=O5s=] knew about it, and it's not stated how much of the SCP-006 water there is, so perhaps this is for the best.[[/note]]
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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. There have also been reports of banging and screaming coming from within SCP-015.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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]] ''[[HannibalLecture anyone]]'' [[HannibalLecture 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]].

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 thinks this is the only cure for some kind of "Pestilence" that is ''not'' the Bubonic Plague but is something he cannot describe. He wants to find a ''true'' cure, one that presumably doesn't require killing people, but the Foundation won't let him continue his experiments after he "cured" the biologist assigned to him.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-052 SCP-052]], the time travelling train. Though you won’t experience anything horrifying if you step aboard, exactly where you could end up in the timeline (arrival dates range from 1976 to 2204) mean that there is a genuine risk you could meet yourself and create a temporal paradox if you arrive during a year when you are still alive. The people in the present day would see you to have vanished, perhaps with a nefarious undertone. If you travel forward in time, then comes the part of [[AfterTheEnd what sort of world you might arrive to see]]? You might get lucky and get to see human progress a few years, decades or centuries later, or end up in an alternate timeline where the Earth has undergone some sort of tragedy. Since the train has been recorded all over the world, far beyond its native lands of New York City, in numerous alternate realities (as told by an SCP “Federation” agent from the 2100’s) and may even have the potential to appear at any point in human history, there’s no telling where it may go next, or which unwitting traveller may next step through the doors.
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-053 SCP-053]]. She looks and acts like an ordinary 3 year old girl. At first. But anyone above the age of three who comes into contact with her becomes [[HatePlague so overcome with fear, hatred and paranoia]] that they attack each other, then try to kill her, dying in the process while she instantly heals from any injuries she suffers. Normally, she's completely unharmed, as the last victim typically dies on the spot before they can reach her. This, coupled with the fact that '''''[[OmnicidalManiac SCP-682]]''''' is docile toward her implies that there is some sort of [[HumanoidAbomination inherent wrongness]] lurking within 053. Did we mention that anyone affected kills ''every human in the vicinity'' before going after 053 and [[AbusiveParents her parents were the first people affected]]?

** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/revenants This story]] makes SCP-055 even more scary, without revealing what it is.

** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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, and goes into a fit. As soon as he enters, he screams so hard that everyone in the area is alerted, and babbles about how "It's killed all of them!", "It's unstoppable!", and "You don't know what it's capable of!". And afterwards forgets he was even in the area. Locked the memory out of sheer horror? Amnesia?

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 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...
* [=SCPs=] [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-076 076-2]] and 682 ([[NightmareFuel/SCPFoundationSCPs300To999 see here]] for more nightmare stuff about SCP-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.

** Plus, they sent four missions down into that staircase and you can only read the first three and they get progressively worse. But after the fourth mission it started to knock on the 'door.'

** It is a golden idol with a cavity in its chest that either causes or can prevent horrifying disasters; either way, they will only abate if Protocol M8 is fulfilled. What is Protocol M8? The statue names two people: SCP-089-A and 089-B. The foundation will send out a taskforce to convince 089-B to complete Protocol M8 out of her own free volition. Then comes the WhamLine. "For each locution event, SCP-089-A is a healthy, unblemished human infant or child between eight months and six years of age, and SCP-089-B is that child’s natural mother. In all documented cases, at the time of the locution event SCP-089-B is alive, healthy and experiences a strong bond of trust and affection with SCP-089-A. Following SCP-089-B’s placement of SCP-089-A in the cavity and the ignition of the inflammable materials, SCP-089-A will burn and be destroyed over a period of two to five hours." It makes sense once they translated the inscription, revealing that the idol is of the Canaanite god of [[HumanSacrifice child sacrifice]], Moloch.

** There is one bit of good news: 096 has been scheduled to be terminated. Though it took 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.
** Doubling as a huge TearJerker, but one of the guys deployed to retrieve 096 from the above rampage [[DrivenToSuicide hung himself]] sometime after. Why? Because he got a front row seat to that thing ''[[WouldHurtAChild tearing an infant apart]]''.

[[folder:[=SCPs=] 100 to 230]]

** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/once-but-not-now This story provides another alternate origin]], where 106 is the last of a species of predatory dimension travellers that hunted humankind for millenia. Despite the graphic content, it also doubles as a Tear Jerker, as 106 is alone and old, unable to hunt efficiently, and is going to starve to death.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 up to yours and screaming before disappearing. It usually takes the form of a woman with an obscenely large mouth and oversized breasts. And it can kill people. The Foundation uses it for ''enhanced interrogation'' [[note]]an euphemism for "torturing for information"[[/note]].

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-148 SCP-148, Telekill]], the alloy the foundation used to coat the walls of 035. It's a metallic substance that blocks ''every'' mind-altering property near it. As such, the Foundation decided that it was tremendously useful and used it on the containment of several mind-altering SCP entities. However, after some personnel guarding the biggest stash of the substance began to have symptoms of degenerating language and communication skills, they discovered that the alloy worked basically by eating the language centers of anyone near it. After an experiment with an unknown SCP that not only confirmed it but also demonstrated that, after a certain "saturation" level, 148's effect was nullified and the mind-altering SCP effects got even stronger, the Foundation immediately forbid the use of 148 with any mind-altering SCP. That 035's cell is still coated with the substance can be interpreted as either that the effects of the 035 and 148 combination is such that the Foundation couldn't recover the alloy on time after the change in politics, or, as bad as things are, not having the coat of 148 there could had made the phenomena worse.

** Even worse? The last part of the entry, about how some information about the creature was leaked to the public, is referencing a ''real life thing'': [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop Bloop]], a mysterious sound picked up off the southern tip of South America. While the sound appears to be made by an animal, whatever made it would have to be bigger than a whale.[[note]]Although in real life, the Bloop has [[ScienceMarchesOn long been explained]] as a sped-up recording of an icequake[[/note]]

** Also: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/revised-entry this short story]]. What would happen if said statue replicated? Exponentially? Said entry describes 150 SCP-173s attacking and ripping apart ''SCP-682. The fucking indestructible lizard.'' And it's implied that 682 ''[[KilledOffForReal didn't regenerate]]''. These things were able to destroy him for good...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". 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. After [[NukeEm total nuclear saturation of Zone X1]], the entire remaining world's navies are to constantly patrol the coasts and sonar the oceans to prevent any 173s escaping Zone X1. [[FromBadToWorse The final part of the story reports that instances of SCP-173 were sighted in Wales]].

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-187 SCP-187]] is a twenty-something-year-old woman who has a unique, if not horrific, form of [[SpiderSense precognitive powers]] which shows her the present and future state of anything she is looking at, as long as the future state is sufficiently different. As a result, she often wears a blindfold because she is near crazy and suicidal from what she sees (to the point where she has to be fed intravenously because she sees all food as rancid and rotten) and must wear a pair of padded mittens which can she cannot remove in case she tries to [[EyeScream rip out her eyes]]. However, her powers can be useful, when she predicted the escape of an unidentified SCP which was averted by the organization. Not that this did her any good as she was forced to participate in a series of other tests involving her meeting the Keter-levelled [=SCPs=] to see if she would predict their destructions.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-204 SCP-204]]. 204 comes in two parts: 204-1 is a colony of nanomachines that follows around 204-2, protecting them from harm. 204-2 is a child aged from 4 to 14, with a history of being abused, who can control 204-1. When 204-2 turns fourteen, 204-1 finds a new child to protect, and, if the former 204-2 is mentally stable, the former 204-2 is given a Class-A amnestic and put into a foster care program. That's not the NightmareFuel. The real NF comes from an addendum that explains that due to 204-1 freaking out if there isn't another suitable child to imprint on if needed, the Foundation have a group of suitable candidates. However, if they really need candidates quickly, they can enlist some more candidates who don't fit the protocol- i.e., they are of a suitable age (preferably under ten), but they don't have a history of abuse. The Foundation will then '''turn them over to 'caretakers' which will consist of D-class personnel convicted of violent crimes, child abuse, and pedophilia'''. It also says that the procedure for hiring the 'caretakers' is the same one for finding people to perform Procedure 110-Montauk on SCP-231. Jesus Christ.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-205 SCP-205]]. A pair of flood lamps that project shadows that are telling a terrifying story about a girl meeting, mating with, and getting killed by horned humanoids. Then you realize the shadows are more like actors reenacting the story, and that you really don't want to catch their attention. But that's not the worst part: it looks like the girl didn't realize she was living with monsters before taking pictures of them. [[ParanoiaFuel Meaning that to normal eyes they look human, and that they could be walking among us unnoticed.]] Oh, and the circumstances of the recovery of the lamps make it clear that everything displayed by the shadows actually happened.
* One of the images for [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-212 SCP-212]] features a [[EyeScream bloodshot eyeball]] being stabbed by various metal implements.
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/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 an 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 [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-882 SCP-882]] and [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-271 SCP-271]].
** This and the other entry mentioning it here should tell you how scary ''those'' guys are. They don't want to try these things together like "poke the thing and see what happens," no. Basically, the "Broken God" is what they believe to be a deity whose parts have been separated. All of the ''most'' NightmareFuel-inducing machinelike SCP items are apparently part of a whole. Recreating that whole is the Church's ultimate goal. Of course, we don't know if they're right. If they ''are,'' some of the worst complex [[ArtifactOfDoom Artifacts of Doom]] actually make a whole greater than the sum of its parts, and that whole is ''sentient.''
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-228 SCP-228]], [[NothingIsScarier a rather simple, but effective]] entry. It's a photograph that manifests as something different each time it's viewed, based on subconscious thoughts. The anomalous effect does not persist through photographing SCP-228, but does trigger through remote video feed. The database entry includes a live feed with instructions to report disturbing imagery to psychiatric personnel. Three guesses as to what images are usually being cycled. The image will change on a page reset after a minute or so. Images include a happy field of roses; an uncanny faceless woman in sepia tone; and a man naked and possibly unconscious, on top of a stuffed animal, in a filthy bathroom.

[[folder:[=SCP=] 231]]

Some of the staff who were involved in the project have taken amnestics to forget it, and false memories have been implanted. Which means that ''anyone'' could have been on the project and not even remember it, assuaged somewhat by the fact that you would've merely been a security guard or pen pusher; only really bad criminals serving life sentences are allowed to perform "Procedure 110-Montauk". Also, the use of amnestics was completely voluntary...although the sheer number of requests for those amnestics should tell you something. And they started using amnesia-inducing drugs on 231 herself; the sum total of 110-Montauk was starting to induce a form of shell shock in the victim. As a constant level of agony and terror needs to be inflicted to suppress the EldritchAbomination, they started wiping her mind of her knowledge of Montauk. Eventually, it was determined that a weekly dosing cycle was most efficient, as the 3rd to 4th time is the most mentally devastating; the first time is horrible, the second time establishes a pattern, and the third confirms that [[DespairEventHorizon this is what the rest of your life is going to be like]].\\

More hidden text is on that page (font size 0, so you WILL need to use View Source or copy and paste the entire entry onto a Word document to read it). It's a poem seemingly written by one of the doctors that worked with all the SCP-231's, who has gone UTTERLY INSANE and is rambling about "seven brides for the Scarlet King". Among other things, the poem suggests that SCP-231-7 is the LAST SCP-231, because when she gives birth, it will bring forth the end of time. It also implies that the procedure was terrible enough that one of the doctors shot himself in horror.\\

* Foundation Ethics Committee. They're widely regarded as ineffectual and being assigned there is taken as a "can't fire him, keep him out of the way" [[KickedUpstairs type of job]]. However, they actually override the O5 Council and during orientation, one member is absolutely ''horrified'' when he learns the truth. The Ethics Committee is in charge of weighing the moral costs of everything the Foundation does. There is no canon, of course, but it's a wholly horrifying thought that this is the '''least''' horrible thing they can do in regards to containment of the SCP.

* One answer to the question of what Montauk is is "nothing at all." The girl's giving birth isn't held back by her being horribly traumatized, but by the fear and dread the "procedure" generates toward the unborn and the pity and compassion directed towards the suffering girl. This is arguably more unsettling, because it means the O5 Council is willing to traumatize their own organization given cause and also that the entire containment is a gigantic bluff. Bluffs have a remarkable tendency to get called.

[[folder:[=SCPs=] 232 to 299]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-238 SCP-238]], an enormous (as in "thousands of miles of tunnels") underground complex. Currently, the only thing that has worked has been blocking it off with a brick wall, and all attempts at exploration have invariably ended horribly, with reports of hallucinations, odd sounds, mysterious accidents and [[MeatMoss partially organic walls]]. And then you get the pictures with the ''giant spiders'', combine it with the comments about an incursion finding something that wasn't "natural", and you can start guessing just what sort of thing's down in those tunnels. It doesn't get much better when you check the comments: Apparently, quite a few [=SCPs=] came from there.
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-253 SCP-253]] is a contagious form of cancer. That is scary in and of itself, but it gets worse: if enough people are infected by the cancer, it will start to act as a HiveMind and take control of their bodies through the neoplasms on their brains. And if that's not scary enough, the HiveMind might be able to develop human-like intelligence.
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-261 SCP-261]] is a [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-261-ad-de vending machine that dispenses snack foods that might be normal, strange or bizarre]]. As [=SCPs=] go, it's actually pretty fun and not too scary. The disturbing part comes as you slowly read more and more stories about what comes out of the vending machine. The first time living food is dispensed, most researchers refuse to eat it and are as distressed by the idea as most people would be. But as more and more living food items are dispensed from the vending machine, researchers get more and more casual about it, until reports of the living, potentially thinking beings only describe their flavor. As if cramming the recently dead bodies of various cute little alien critters popping out of the machine is the normal and obvious thing to do.
** 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.
** Another fun result from SCP-261 is "TASTE ME", an obvious reference to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''. It's funny, right until the part when the test subject eats it, goes into convulsions, and dies due to brain expansion. "Analysis of the cake showed large amounts of human growth hormone as well as several unidentified chemicals."
** And then there's the can of "Prangles." Once you pop, you can't stop. '''''Ever'''''. Of course, it can [[CrossesTheLineTwice Cross the Line Twice]] as the next sentence says that they had to get a crowbar to keep the dead body from eating the chips.
** SCP-261 once produced a fruit from [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-417 SCP-417]]. Not much else needs to be said.
** One dispensed product is a pack of "Eetmees", [[LetsMeetTheMeat crablike creatures that beg to be eaten]], [[OrificeInvasion forcing themselves into your mouth if you refuse]]. They even loudly and cheerfully express joy when they get chewed and swallowed.
** Someone decided to try to push the coin reject button. In addition to a 0-yen coin, they also got a can containing a loud, buzzing insect inside, labeled "Stop that."
** Someone used the coin-on-a-string trick in an attempt to cheat the machine and get free snacks. It dropped a ''live grenade'' and people ''died''.
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-267 SCP-267]] is a subspecies of naked mole rat that feeds on tumors. They attack large animals, paralyze them, and drag them into their burrows, where they chew off their limbs and pump them full of carcinogenic venom to feed off the tumors this creates. This means that the larder creature, usually a human, is [[FateWorseThanDeath trapped in a pitch-black, reeking cave, in constant agony as the tumors swelling all over its body are chewed off by tiny unseen monsters that vomit root pulp into its mouth on a regular basis]]. This can last for ''decades''.
** After ''19 months'' of containment, the Foundation eventually discovered that the current larder was human, possibly a ''child'' (the age is redacted, but it’s a single-digit) that went missing with their family several decades ago. They took so long to figure out it was human because of [[BodyHorror the lack of limbs and rampant tumors]].
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-280 SCP-280]]. It's a shadowy creature that attacks people and rips them to shreds...for ''no reason''. It can rip through steel to get to its prey, and sudden exposure to light causes it to teleport away to plan its next attack. It was first discovered where it massacred a family of five in their home, the only survivor being a nine-year-old who had come over for a sleepover and was huddling terrified in the basement with only a flashlight for protection. [[ParanoiaFuel Don't turn off the lights, it may be in there with you]].
* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-290 SCP-290]] reads like a love letter to the BodyHorror sub-genre: it's a metal sphere that reconfigures your body in wild ways while keeping you alive. The Experiment Log Addendum includes the poor test subject's head "slowly embedding itself into his thigh, both eyes absent", and a strong implication that -- possible BrainBleach warning -- the restructuring of his internal organs had re-routed some of his waste through his chest cavity.
* Speaking of disturbing food dispensers, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-294 SCP-294]] is a coffee machine that can dispense just about any kind of liquid. Like SCP-261, it's, for the most part, a lighthearted, if darkly humorous tale about a vending machine that can make anything (water, coffee, cola, beer...blood, sweat, saliva...liquid nitrogen, molten metal, sulphuric acid...) as long as it can exist in liquid form, though it operates on an extremely eerie case of being strictly literal in how it interprets your commands. If you value your appetite, do not use "joe" as a synonym for "coffee" when inputting what drink you want, especially if your name is Joe, or if there's a Joe somewhere in the room with you. Not only does SCP-261 dispense any liquid possible, but it can actively take that liquid from somewhere so it can dispense it. Said machine, if given the command 'A Cup of Joe' goes for a LiteralMetaphor in a very painful way, extracting and dispensing a mixture of bodily liquids from the nearest person named Joe. It's survivable, but the person this happened to had to be hospitalised for several weeks. There's also "The Perfect Drink", which causes the drinker to become depressive and [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] because "everything else is just a letdown now." For more straightforward ways of killing you, it will happily dispense any kind of industrial chemical you like. There's a ''reason'' why they have two security guards stationed there with orders to shoot anyone who is trying to order anything other than normal drinks or substances strictly for research.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-052 SCP-052]], the time travelling train. Though you won’t experience anything horrifying if you step aboard, exactly where you could end up in the timeline (arrival dates range from 1976 to 2204) mean that there is a genuine risk you could meet yourself and create a temporal paradox if you arrive during a year when you are still alive. Then comes the AdultFear of those you leave behind, given that for all intents and purposes, the people in the present day would see you to have vanished, perhaps with a nefarious undertone. If you travel forward in time, then comes the part of [[AfterTheEnd what sort of world you might arrive to see]]? You might get lucky and get to see human progress a few years, decades or centuries later, or end up in an alternate timeline where the Earth has undergone some sort of tragedy. Since the train has been recorded all over the world, far beyond its native lands of New York City, in numerous alternate realities (as told by an SCP “Federation” agent from the 2100’s) and may even have the potential to appear at any point in human history, there’s no telling where it may go next, or which unwitting traveller may next step through the doors.

* The page image for SCP-231 is a simple gray-on-gray placeholder image of the Foundation's logo, with the caption explaining that the original was [[YouDontWantToKnow removed by request of the O5 Council.]][[NothingIsScarier There is never a reason given for this decision.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:SCP-106, mid emergence.]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-058 SCP-058]] resembles a ''bovine heart with tentacles and spikes''. It destroyed 70% of a town during its first encounter with the Foundation. It also talks, although whether that's a good or bad thing depends on how creepy you find WordSaladHorror.

* The page image for SCP-231 is a simple gray-on-gray placeholder image of the Foundation's logo, with the caption saying that the original was [[YouDontWantToKnow removed by request of the O5 Council]] and [[NothingIsScarier there is never a reason given for that decision.]]

** 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: 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. There is a God, and it is SCP-001. [[NoticingTheFourthWall And it's a bunch of horror writers.]]

The researcher found a way out, however, which the singularity entity now offers to the O5s. The only out is to destroy all other universes, which will leave ours without any external threats, capable of continuing until entropy claims it. And the singularity, with its command of gravity, can do this by breaking the barriers of every universe except this one at once, destroying them all but keeping us safe. However, SCP-001 can't do this until the Foundation turns off its containment procedures, offering this to the O5 council. The Council, knowing that the loss of life this would result in is literally beyond count, ultimately votes yes. As the singularity gets to work, however, the fine print is revealed: It intends to remove ''every'' trace of extradimensional influence from this universe in order to keep it safe, and that includes anyone who has ever used or interracted with anomalies. Starting with the Foundation and the O5 Council. They only barely manage to turn on the containment measures again, though O5-1 and 2 are destroyed. The Foundation has destroyed every other universe in existence for their own survival.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-006 SCP-006]] is a HealingSpring. That in itself isn't so scary. The real concern is that the Foundation is ''hiding the fact that it is one'' to everyone but [=O5s=]. And everyone who works on this SCP has to put on liquidproof suits to avoid being "contaminated" with it, because if they come into contact, the protocol is to confine the "victim", perform studies on them, and execute them by [[KillItWIthFire incinerating them]], presumably so that [[HeKnowsTooMuch they cannot leak knowledge of what the 006 water really is]]. These procedures make it clear that the Foundation is willing to hide objects that could ''benefit'' humanity simply because they cannot explained by known science.[[note]]Of course, there's also the possibiilty that [[AppleOfDiscord everyone would want in on this "health" water, with all the fighting and wars that would ensue]], if non-[=O5s=] knew about it, and it's not stated how much of the SCP-006 water there is, so perhaps this is for the best.[[/note]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-127 SCP-127]] is an MP5K submachine gun. Other than 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]], the [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking magazine can't be removed]] — "[[BizarreAlienBiology it seems to be permanently attached to the weapon]]".

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/sandrewswann-s-proposal S Andrew Swan's proposal]] is a masterpiece of MetaFiction ParanoiaFuel.:

* 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.

* 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]].

** שמע ישראל יהוה אלהינו יהוה אחד In case you were wondering, that's the most important prayer in Judaism. It's supposed to be your last words. Translated: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shema_Yisrael "Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, The LORD is one."]]

* Another 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? It turns out that the minute variations in the cosmic background radiation have ''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]]. A massive industrial complex built in the 19th century, whose owner did a lot of disgusting and disturbing things to his employees and the fabric of reality, and among its production of mundane stuff also released a variety of anomalous artifacts. According to this, the Foundation was created by the people who had to take over the place from spreading the horrors and to classify and decide what to do with its contents. For a while, they used what artifacts they could put a hand on, until an incident that forced them to use a certain room of the place to genocide a supernatural species scared them and made them seal the place for good. Not that it helps, as a constant supply of new [=SCPs=] still keep popping from the place from time to time. Oh, and this document also states that some of the most dangerous groups of interest, like the Church of the Broken God and Marshall, Carter and Dark Ltd., were formed by people who disagree with their former colleagues about what to do with their findings and escaped with artifacts of their own.
* [[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. 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? 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 even before objects started appearing out of nowhere the Foundation was never really in control.
** In addition, there is [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/quiet-days a tale]] that at first seems like a case of EarnYourHappyEnding for the Foundation, where there are no more anomalies left and the remaining ones neutralized and/or freed, thus leaving the Foundation and the various groups of interest with no reason to even exist, which leads to their various members going their separate ways. However, a comment by Mann [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-556382/quiet-days#post-1564187 makes that not last]]: two men years later rediscover the Spiral Path and reignite the same sequence of events that it first brought upon the universe.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/sandrewswann-s-proposal S Andrew Swan's proposal]] is a masterpiece of MetaFiction ParanoiaFuel.:

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scantron-s-proposal Another concept]] for SCP-001: [[Wiki/SCPFoundation a massive worldwide organisation that acts like a sociopathic MIB agency]]. That's right, the Foundation itself is a SCP!

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/djkaktus-s-proposal Part One, The Children:]] 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: the people working on the project went rogue. The leader of the project is the only one that can activate the weapon. They NeverFoundTheBody, and it's hinted that he now leads the Chaos Insurgency. Then there's just what the weapon consists of. 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''.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/twistedgears-kaktus-proposal Part Two]]. It's a collection of several active [=SCPs=], as well as several inactive mechanical components resting at the bottom of the Gulf of California. What are they? [[PiecesOfGod Components for Mekhane, the Broken God.]] Yes, '''the''' [[MechanicalLifeform Broken God]]. During the 1940's, while the world was [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII focused on Europe]], a certain church was able to collect several of the necessary pieces to bring their mechanical deity to life, assembling them near La Paz in Southern Baja California. Upon its activation, designated as the 001-Apotheosis event, the entity began tearing its way through Mexico. It absorbed any metallic objects it could find, growing into a centipede-like machine so huge that devoured entire villages and ''mountains''. When the entity reached the Pacific Coast, it encountered a second mechanical being (later designated [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2399 SCP-2399]]) descending from the sky. What exactly happened between them is unknown, but it resulted in the entity's annihilation, with the scattered remains becoming designated as SCP-001. Containment of the event required mass administration of amnestics and revision of historical records to explain the damage left behind by the entity. Yeah, the Gulf of California? ''It didn't exist before 1943''. And the pieces are still down there. Waiting. It's also heavily implied that the entity they created wasn't actually Mekhane. Or if it was, then he CameBackWrong. ''Very'' wrong.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/djkaktus-s-proposal-ii Part Three, Atonement]] is part of the Ouroboros cycle, so you know it's gonna be a horrifying one. Like all skips, it begins with containment procedures, which are somewhat more drastic than usual. Not only is it constantly guarded by ''four'' specialized task forces, but in the event of a breach the entire facility will be flooded, then dumped into a borehole which is then collapsed, [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill stuffed with an landslide, and the on-site nuclear warhead will be detonated for good measure]]. Then you get to the meat of the article. SCP-001 is what remains of a Foundation researcher who was accidentally locked into a particle accelerator during a test to create a new type of reality anchor, which turned the researcher into a human singularity with god-like control over gravity. In the process, this singularity also gave him knowledge of where all anomalies come from, and how to prevent them from appearing. It tells the O5 council that anomalies are the result of a sort of "bleed" from other universes leaking into ours, and that the borders between worlds have started to break down. The breakdown is amplified by entropy, and within mere decades the walls will break down completely, reducing the multiverse to a boundless chaos of worlds colliding, until all is consumed by entropy.\\

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/djkaktus-s-proposal-iii Part Four, The Way It Ends]] starts with a new category - Principalis - and leads to a document from the Chaos Insurgency that reveals that the Overseer Council is the SCP in question, lists the sins of what they later call "thirteen immortal demigods", and decrees that they are to die.

*** After O5-7, Green, gets burned alive and kills one of the four agents, [[DisproportionateRetribution O5-6, the American, shows up with an invasion force]] to smoke out the agents. The tech wiz of the agents lures the American and his vanguard to his old village, which was infected by [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-610 The Flesh that Hates]]. The American then gets shot by another agent, and promptly gets DevouredByTheHorde.
*** As it turns out, O5-5's backstory is this. He came from a reality where London was the last city left after a [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-049 supposed cure for the Black Death]] destroyed the rest of the world, and he eventually [[FusionDance merged]] with every iteration of himself in the multiverse. However, as the lead agent discovers in a nightmarish battle, he wasn't called [[MeaningfulName the Blackbird without good reason]].
*** Once the Blackbird dies, O5-4, the Ambassador, ends up defecting to the Insurgency and meets up with them at an airport. Little did the Ambassador know that O5-3, the Kid, and MTF Tau-5 ("Samsara", the immortal clones) were following him there. His resultant death by an axe to the skull isn't pleasant, but special mention goes to the Kid for essentially behaving like HAL 5000 with the knobs turned UpToEleven. Their voice is also child-like and unnatural, hinting at the theory that they are an immensely powerful AI. However, we discover that O5-3 isn't just an AI — they were a young infant meant to be sacrificed to [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2845 SCP-2845]], until the Overseers had a better idea. They were then plugged into their intelligence network, which necessitated their spinal cord getting snipped. By the time the agents find them, this is the state O5-3 was in:

*** On a more subtle note, this whole proposal also alleges that the other three proposals of Dr. Aktus are all true. That's right: ''[[http://www.scp-wiki.net/djkaktus-s-proposal the Children]]'', ''[[http://www.scp-wiki.net/twistedgears-kaktus-proposal the Broken God]]'', and ''[[http://www.scp-wiki.net/djkaktus-s-proposal-ii Atonement]] '''are all true''''' (albeit [[TheMultiverse in a different universe]] that is visited during the finale of O5-5's chapter, in the last one's case).
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/kate-mctiriss-s-proposal Kate McTiriss's proposal]] implies that SCP-001 ''is its own article.'' According to its current containment procedures, editing the article [[RealityWarper rewrites reality accordingly]]. Its properties were discovered when the Foundation accepted an anomalous but Safe item that appeared at the top of any list that contained it. After an April's Fools joke edit, its assigned researcher realized that any change in the article (e.g. a passage that falsely stated she was given a paid vacation) would manifest in reality. Drunk with power, she used her final edit to become a godlike being. Granted, she did so to help the Foundation from a higher plane, and the O5 council blocked the article so no one else can edit it without their consent, but just imagine what would have happened if someone less scrupulous or less loyal to the Foundation discovered it first...
* To coincide with [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2798 SCP-2798]] finally failing, Kalinin released [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp001-kln his proposal]], finally bringing TheReveal to the previously undefined iteration of SCP-001 he used:
** After the field failed, an unknown alien force returned to the Earth. It started to intensify all anomalies under the Foundation's control. Some major examples: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-087 SCP-087]] relocated to the ''Pentagon.'' [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-106 SCP-106]] ''talks.'' Bobble the Clown? He evolved (again) and now teaches adults (using political figures, no less) to willingly participate in depraved acts of violence. And SCP slots 4000-4999 have been bought out by Envelope Logistics (who previously bought slot 2557). And perhaps most strangely, a number of [=SCPs=] that previously involved being transported to other places or exhibited inscrutable (but relatively harmless) functions have developed a fixation on harvesting human brain matter for no identified reason. The list continues. While some of these anomalies are decidedly [[NiceJobFixingItVillain less dangerous]] by definition than before (for example, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-294 SCP-294]] restricts itself to dispense Coca-Cola-owned drinks and damages Coca-Cola's shares as punishment for other inputs), it still doesn't help that this...thing obviously preys on population mass (using souls as a unit of measurement) to inflict as much damage as possible. To reiterate: The Foundation literally gave the Earth a gigantic human ''soul'' to ward it off, by tricking it into thinking it was just a lowly, "non-anomalous" "human" being drifting through space.
** And the proposal [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/kalinins-proposal was only part of a larger story]]. It concludes with aliens wrecking massive damage on mankind (ranging from flayings and severed hands to destroying the Three Gorges Dam and flooding a large piece of China), and sparing whoever accepts to leave Earth and become a slave in their planet. However, the last chapter, ''[[http://www.scp-wiki.net/house-of-jacinta Casa de Jacinta / Jacinta de la Casa]]'', ends with a BadassNormal giving humanity one last bit of hope in its DarkestHour by [[TakingYouWithMe self-detonating]] a chamber [[MindScrew containing a condemned idea]] for a play representing the main narrative, killing one of the aliens in the process and effectively rejecting their ideals and morals. The true motive and ideal of the aliens is pretty messed up, too. Some happiness comes from the gratitude that occurs when you know someone has suffered to give you what you have. Why not all of it?
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/wrong-proposal The Consensus]] details the events of Occult War ''i'', previously known as the Fifth Occult War. This was a global conflict that coalesced from multiple historic conflicts, such as the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War, and escalated greatly. In this reality, anomalies are not only a part of life, but were actively used in these wars. Highlights include the Union and Confederacy being armed with weapons from The Factory and a massive war with the Daevites, which included the slaughter of ethnic Mongols by ''a team-up between the Daevites and Abel.'' To solve this, members of the world's occult organizations came together to create the Foundation and triggered a CK-Class Restructuring Event, basically hitting the ResetButton on the world's history, which created ''our'' world. Events such as the Boxer Rebellion and Taiping Rebellion were retconned into existence by this event. Afterward, the O5's and their successors created things such as SCP-2000, the S/E/K class system, amnestics, and all the modern qualities of the Foundation, and it seems they're preparing to recategorize SCP-001 as just another anomaly. Which, while impressive, highlights just how horrifically powerful the Foundation really is: '''they created a reset button for reality even more powerful and efficient than their first one.''' There are also implications that this event [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unintentionally created entirely new SCPs]], such as SCP-1173 and SCP-1678.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/shaggydredlocks-proposal S.D. Locke's proposal]]. SCP-001 is the Sun, after an event on an unknown date resulted in it '''melting all living things exposed to its light.''' 6.8 billion casualties in 24 hours was the result. Oh, and everything SCP-001 affects survives exposure and simply become the epitome of BodyHorror as multiple organisms (designated SCP-001-A) fuse together and partially reconstitute themselves. They then work to expose everyone who has avoided this fate to the sunlight. And over the course of the article, SCP-001 turns everyone mentioned into an SCP-001-A instance, including [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou the reader]]. All of this been happening for at least 1,312 days, or a little over ''three and a half years'', by the time you open the first revision of the article, and in addition to the article revisions you also see the catastrophe from the point of view of a researcher who loses her loved ones to the masses of bio-goop and then spends ''985 days'' with no contact from Site-19 (emphasized to be the last beacon of hope against this whole mess and which is implied to have fallen to this solar apocalypse) in a horrifying and slow SanitySlippage culminating in her [[DrivenToSuicide suicide]] one day before you got to the terminal. The most chilling part of the entire article is a short tale of a D-Class trying to distract the beasts, and he manages to kill himself before they can pry his clothes off — except the Sun ''brings him back to life'' and converts him anyway, while he's helpless to do anything but scream. At one point, the researcher uses an occult ritual to bring her girlfriend's soul back...and it's ''still'' an SCP-001 aspect.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-001-ex The Great Hippo’s Proposal]] is a computer that, when given Special Containment Procedures for an object, will give directives on how to better improve containment. [[WordSaladHorror Most of it seems like nonsense]], but [[BunnyEarsLawyer the directives actually work most of the time]]. [[EvenEvilHasStandards But after the Ethics Committee vetoes one of its directives (involving the sacrifice of four D-Class)]], the computer becomes [[ItCanThink angry at the Ethics Committee]], making violent orders for them to have their faces removed. Then it causes O5-2 to disappear and when he returns it’s implied he’s carrying a MindVirus that infects the rest of the O5 Council, and gives 001 the control to have the Ethics Committee brutally murdered. This ends in a massive neutralisation of hundreds of thousands of [=SCPs=] before it’s implied that the O5 Council is overthrown and the computer is turned off, forcing the SCP Foundation to start over from scratch. The manner in which the computer destroys the Foundation from within shows how little control they really have over the anomalous, and how the world's greatest and ''only real'' protector can be so easily subverted.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/captain-kirby-s-proposal Captain Kirby's Proposal]] is a heavy blend of this and ParanoiaFuel. The subject? O5-13. The investigation picks up when the other twelve positions in the O5-Council are vacated at the exact same time, with the new appointees driving themselves crazy trying to find anything suspicious about O5-13. They suspect that he was involved in the deaths of their predecessors, and they do everything including drug regimens and interrogating those who dealt with Site-01's destruction to solve the mystery. The kicker? O5-13 gets sent a back-up transcript from Site-01 that reveals that O5-13 was ''never'' an SCP; instead, ''the other twelve O5 Council members were''. O5-1 realised this, and called an emergency meeting to trap everyone except O5-13 and the Administrator in a room, then call in a "Caesar Event" and nuke the base to hell.
* [[http://www.scpwiki.com/swelling-of-the-worlds Arbelict's Proposal]] is a PlayedForHorror take on the "every choice, another world" theory of TheMultiverse. Humanity, which only exists in one of 57 universes initially formed during the Big Bang, has been creating new realms every time they make a choice; as it turns out, the multiverse is not an infinite space, and humans are threatening to destroy all 57 prime universes simply by ''existing''. It's at this point that the article's actual horror comes into effect: the only real solution to the problem is, of course, to either invoke a means of halting human consciousness until the problem alleviates itself (for example, setting up a HumanPopsicle plan, which the Foundation tried), or to just wipe humanity out and start over - something that SCP-001's object class of Paradox-Apollyon (essentially a worse version of Cernunnos in that containment is only possible by flat-out ending the world) represents.\\

* And there is the [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/thaumiel Project Thaumiel]] tales, who explore the implications of most of the SCP-001 proposals. Specially, it gives [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/dr-gears-s-proposal Dr Gears' proposal]] (merely a prototype report of the first item registered by the Foundation, and conceptually the least "brickshitting" one) a [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/rota very scary turn]].

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-002 SCP-002]] is a ball of flesh with a door in it. Through the door enters into a modest apartment, the room is complete with furniture made out of the body parts of the people it's killed.
* [[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-006 SCP-006]] is a HealingSpring. That in itself isn't so scary. The real concern is that the Foundation is ''hiding the fact that it is one'' to everyone but [=O5s=]. And everyone who works on this SCP has to put on liquidproof suits to avoid being "contaminated" with it, because if they come into contact, the protocol is to confine the "victim", perform studies on them, and execute them by [[KillItWIthFire incinerating them]], presumably so that [[HeKnowsTooMuch they cannot leak knowledge of what the 006 water really is]]. These procedures make it clear that the Foundation is willing to hide objects that could ''benefit'' humanity simply because they cannot explained by known science.[[note]]Of course, there's also the possibiilty that [[AppleOfDiscord everyone would want in on this "health" water, with all the fighting and wars that would ensue]], if non-[=O5s=] knew about it, and it's not stated how much of the SCP-006 water there is, so perhaps this is for the best.[[/note]]
* [[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. There have also been reports of banging and screaming coming from within SCP-015.
* [[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 have been unsuccessful.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-019 SCP-019]] is a normal-looking pot at 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://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-020 SCP-020]] is a germaphobe's nightmare — a mold that is invisible to humans unless videotaped or photographed, can grow all over your house and ''even on your body'', and changes your personality to make you more sociable so it can spread to all your friends.
* [[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]] ''[[HannibalLecture anyone]]'' [[HannibalLecture 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]].

* [[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 thinks this is the only cure for some kind of "Pestilence" that is ''not'' the Bubonic Plague but is something he cannot describe. He wants to find a ''true'' cure, one that presumably doesn't require killing people, but the Foundation won't let him continue his experiments after he "cured" the biologist assigned to him.
* [[http://www.scpwiki.com/scp-052 SCP-052]], the time travelling train. Though you won’t experience anything horrifying if you step aboard, exactly where you could end up in the timeline (arrival dates range from 1976 to 2204) mean that there is a genuine risk you could meet yourself and create a temporal paradox if you arrive during a year when you are still alive. Then comes the AdultFear of those you leave behind, given that for all intents and purposes, the people in the present day would see you to have vanished, perhaps with a nefarious undertone. If you travel forward in time, then comes the part of [[AfterTheEnd what sort of world you might arrive to see]]? You might get lucky and get to see human progress a few years, decades or centuries later, or end up in an alternate timeline where the Earth has undergone some sort of tragedy. Since the train has been recorded all over the world, far beyond its native lands of New York City, in numerous alternate realities (as told by an SCP “Federation” agent from the 2100’s) and may even have the potential to appear at any point in human history, there’s no telling where it may go next, or which unwitting traveller may next step through the doors.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-053 SCP-053]]. She looks and acts like an ordinary 3 year old girl. At first. But anyone above the age of three who comes into contact with her becomes [[HatePlague so overcome with fear, hatred and paranoia]] that they attack each other, then try to kill her, dying in the process while she instantly heals from any injuries she suffers. Normally, she's completely unharmed, as the last victim typically dies on the spot before they can reach her. This, coupled with the fact that '''''[[OmnicidalManiac SCP-682]]''''' is docile toward her implies that there is some sort of [[HumanoidAbomination inherent wrongness]] lurking within 053. Did we mention that anyone affected kills ''every human in the vicinity'' before going after 053 and [[AbusiveParents her parents were the first people affected]]?
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-055 SCP-055]]:

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/revenants This story]] makes SCP-055 even more scary, without revealing what it is.

** [[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, and goes into a fit. As soon as he enters, he screams so hard that everyone in the area is alerted, and babbles about how "It's killed all of them!", "It's unstoppable!", and "You don't know what it's capable of!". And afterwards forgets he was even in the area. Locked the memory out of sheer horror? Amnesia?
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-056 SCP-056]] is a condescending shapeshifter who lives by the rule "anything you can do, I can do better" — when exposed to a person, animal, or occasionally inanimate object, he turns himself into a form similar to that of the observed, but which is leagues better in at least one significant way. He sounds like a mere annoyance at first...then 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 encounter with the Foundation. It also talks, although whether that's a good or bad thing depends on how creepy you find WordSaladHorror.
* [[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 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...
* [=SCPs=] [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-076 076-2]] and 682 ([[NightmareFuel/SCPFoundationSCPs300To999 see here]] for more nightmare stuff about SCP-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.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-084 SCP-084]], the Static Tower. It's a radio tower that 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''.
* When you think about [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-085 SCP-085, Cassy's]] situation, you may realize that it's both terrifying and heartbreaking at the same time; she's a [[AndIMustScream living, sentient drawing but wishes that she was human]]. Also, while she can manipulate other items on the page, and even transfer to other pages, other drawings still aren't alive; if you allow her to transfer to, say, a comic book, it's less "Cassy joins the X-Men" and more "Cassy walks around statues that look like they're in the middle of a pretty cool story." She could take Cyclops' coffee and drink it, but not talk to him. While it's not as bad as it sounds because she's not just stuck in empty whiteness — the world's as big as the amount of drawn material you can convince the O5 Council to let her have — she's also completely alone, and there's nothing to be done about it. However, she does show that the Foundation isn't all bad; references to her involve way more [[PetTheDog petting]] than [[KickTheDog kicking]].
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-087 SCP-087]] 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...

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

** There's [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/six-little-mice one tale]] that implies that the true danger in there is 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.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-089 SCP-089]]:

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-093 SCP-093]] is a red disc that, when held, has the power to transfer whoever holds it to an alternate universe when they step through a mirror. Read the whole thing, including the test reports, in order, and then read the last link on the page. The reports themselves are creepy and unsettling, but the final report is just chilling.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-096 SCP-096]]: This is a [[HumanoidAbomination humanoid monster]] that has a terrifying DisproportionateRetribution...
** It is docile until you look at its face, at which point it will charge at you and kill you. This works even with pictures, and it will track you down no matter how far away you are. Also, there have been pictures spread on the internet and the SCP Foundation is still in the process of removing them. To understand how horrific this is, read [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/incident-096-1-a Incident-096-1-a]], in which SCP-096 tracks down someone who saw its face in a picture in which its body was only 4 pixels. You can be looking at a picture and never notice it's there until the monster arrives to '''''end''''' you.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-106 SCP-106]] "The Old Man". An entity resembling a rotting old man. It causes severe corrosion and decay of whatever it touches. It drags its victims into its PocketDimension (which it seems to have complete metaphysical control over) and slowly tortures them for hours or days, before ejecting their mutilated bodies back into this world. Take a look at the page [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-106 pictures]]. As if that wasn't enough, it's completely indestructible and almost impossible to successfully contain. The procedure for its recapture is, if possible, more terrifying than it is. Namely, taking a human in its preferred age bracket and injuring them by breaking a bone or cutting a tendon, placing them in a cell, and broadcasting their cries to lure in SCP-106. If SCP-106 isn't taking the bait, ''additional damage'' is inflicted. If it still isn't working, more "prey" objects are brought in. Even worse: time passes differently in the Old Man's pocket dimension. [[YearOutsideHourInside Which means that every second on the outside could be an eternity inside the pocket dimension.]] And even worse than that? The old bastard has a ''long, frog-like tongue'' that he drops on peoples' faces while he is above them. Sweet dreams.

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/until-death This short story]] suggests an alternate origin for 106: Remember [[TheWoobie poor]] Dr. Lang from the SCP-3001 entry? 106 is chasing her through the facility, ''because he is what is left of Dr. Robert Scranton''. And it ends with 106/Robert killing her. Overlaps with TearJerker, of course.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-120 SCP-120]] is a pink kid's swimming pool that works as a PortalPool, cycling between 11 locations each time you send someone through. The 11 locations include the 5 Lagrange points. Which are in space. It was discovered because of "reports of missing children." It's a convenient way of teleporting, though, except for the Lagrange points. So they simply...cause it to cycle through them. Using D-class personnel.
* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-127 SCP-127]] is an MP5K submachine gun. Other than 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]], the [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking magazine can't be removed]] — "[[BizarreAlienBiology it seems to be permanently attached to the weapon]]".
* [[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 up to yours and screaming before disappearing. It usually takes the form of a woman with an obscenely large mouth and oversized breasts. And it can kill people. The Foundation uses it for ''enhanced interrogation'' [[note]]an euphemism for "torturing for information"[[/note]].
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-140 SCP-140, The Daevite Empire]], a highly aggressive and militaristic civilization that once existed in Central Asia and Eastern Europe. The SCP in question is a chronicle of the empire's existence which, whenever it comes into contact with any suitable fluid (including human blood), will use that fluid as ink and retroactively add to its history, causing the Daevites to survive further and further into the future. The Daevites' history currently ends with their extermination at the hands of Genghis Khan -- when it was first discovered, they were wiped out by Qin Kai, some ''1400 years'' earlier. Worse, there's more than one copy of the chronicle out there, and expansion events have happened while their copy received no fluids. The Foundation has determined that if the Daevites were to survive past a certain point in history, the results would be catastrophic [[note]]Specifically if they were to exist in 1███ CE, which would constitute to a shift in class dominance, a global-scale conflict projected to have an ''extremely high'' death toll, and shattering the Foundation's secrecy to the world[[/note]].
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-148 SCP-148, Telekill]], the alloy the foundation used to coat the walls of 035. It's a metallic substance that blocks ''every'' mind-altering property near it. As such, the Foundation decided that it was tremendously useful and used it on the containment of several mind-altering SCP entities. However, after some personnel guarding the biggest stash of the substance began to have symptoms of degenerating language and communication skills, they discovered that the alloy worked basically by eating the language centers of anyone near it. After an experiment with an unknown SCP that not only confirmed it but also demonstrated that, after a certain "saturation" level, 148's effect was nullified and the mind-altering SCP effects got even stronger, the Foundation immediately forbid the use of 148 with any mind-altering SCP. That 035's cell is still coated with the substance can be interpreted as either that the effects of the 035 and 148 combination is such that the Foundation couldn't recover the alloy on time after the change in politics, or, as bad as things are, not having the coat of 148 there could had made the phenomena worse.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-149 SCP-149]]. As if there weren't enough reasons to hate mosquitos, this one is a carrier for a kind of virus that causes cyst-like structures to grow inside the target's nose, throat, and occasionally eye sockets, each of which contains the mosquito's larva.
* [[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.

* The very first SCP itself, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-173 SCP-173]], the statue that tries to kill you if you break eye contact with it. Enlarge that page's picture to get a better idea. It appears to be ''the only thing 682 is afraid of'', as when it was locked inside 173's chamber, the creature's first response was to huddle in the corner farthest from 173 and stare at it without blinking for several hours. When snipers popped 682's eyes from afar, it responded by growing bullet-proof eyes all over its body so that it could keep 173 from getting close to it. However, while 173 did some damage to 682 before it could adapt, it was unable to destroy 682.
** Also: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/revised-entry this short story]]. What would happen if said statue replicated? Exponentially? Said entry describes 150 SCP-173s attacking and ripping apart ''SCP-682. The fucking indestructible lizard.'' And it's implied that 682 ''[[KilledOffForReal didn't regenerate]]''. These things were able to destroy him for good...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". 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. After [[NukeEm total nuclear saturation of Zone X1]], the entire remaining world's navies are to constantly patrol the coasts and sonar the oceans to prevent any 173s escaping Zone X1. [[FromBadToWorse The final part of the story reports that instances of SCP-173 were sighted in Wales]].

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-182 SCP-182]]: A nice, cheerful guy who wants to be friends. Oh, and did we mention that he's deaf, mute, and horribly scarred, and he compensates for the first three by involuntarily riding shotgun on your senses when you get within ten meters, and if you stay around him there's a 97% chance you'll go insane? And he knows this. And he can't do a thing about it.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-187 SCP-187]] is a twenty-something-year-old woman who has a unique, if not horrific, form of [[SpiderSense precognitive powers]] which shows her the present and future state of anything she is looking at, as long as the future state is sufficiently different. As a result, she often wears a blindfold because she is near crazy and suicidal from what she sees (to the point where she has to be fed intravenously because she sees all food as rancid and rotten) and must wear a pair of padded mittens which can she cannot remove in case she tries to [[EyeScream rip out her eyes]]. However, her powers can be useful, when she predicted the escape of an unidentified SCP which was averted by the organization. Not that this did her any good as she was forced to participate in a series of other tests involving her meeting the Keter-levelled [=SCPs=] to see if she would predict their destructions.

* 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.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-201 SCP-201]] is an old medical apparatus that teleports anyone who comes within 30 meters to an alternate reality within a period of 48 hours. While this reality superficially resembles Earth, it exists in a perpetual state of twilight and is devoid of all life; all places of human habitation appear as if everyone suddenly vanished at the same instant. [[YearOutsideHourInside Time elapsed in this reality can vary greatly from our own]], but that's not the worst part. The worst part is that people sent to this reality are left to wander it, alone, before being randomly returned to our world. There are no monsters, no weird phenomena, and no other presences. [[NothingIsScarier Just complete and utter isolation with no idea how long you'll be stuck.]] The longest recorded time someone spent there was eight years. If anyone tried to repair any communication devices in that realm, they would receive an automated message coming from the Foundation itself. The link the discovery leads to is related to SCP-2935. This relation may be considered shoehorned solely because of similarity between the two [=SCPs=], but there are arguably even more horrifying implications than before. The first version of the page lacked the relation to another object, but it had [DATA EXPUNGED], which may or may not have been encountered in the alternate world.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-204 SCP-204]]. 204 comes in two parts: 204-1 is a colony of nanomachines that follows around 204-2, protecting them from harm. 204-2 is a child aged from 4 to 14, with a history of being abused, who can control 204-1. When 204-2 turns fourteen, 204-1 finds a new child to protect, and, if the former 204-2 is mentally stable, the former 204-2 is given a Class-A amnestic and put into a foster care program. That's not the NightmareFuel. The real NF comes from an addendum that explains that due to 204-1 freaking out if there isn't another suitable child to imprint on if needed, the Foundation have a group of suitable candidates. However, if they really need candidates quickly, they can enlist some more candidates who don't fit the protocol- i.e., they are of a suitable age (preferably under ten), but they don't have a history of abuse. The Foundation will then '''turn them over to 'caretakers' which will consist of D-class personnel convicted of violent crimes, child abuse, and pedophilia'''. It also says that the procedure for hiring the 'caretakers' is the same one for finding people to perform Procedure 110-Montauk on SCP-231. Jesus Christ.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-205 SCP-205]]. A pair of flood lamps that project shadows that are telling a terrifying story about a girl meeting, mating with, and getting killed by horned humanoids. Then you realize the shadows are more like actors reenacting the story, and that you really don't want to catch their attention. But that's not the worst part: it looks like the girl didn't realize she was living with monsters before taking pictures of them. [[ParanoiaFuel Meaning that to normal eyes they look human, and that they could be walking among us unnoticed.]] Oh, and the circumstances of the recovery of the lamps make it clear that everything displayed by the shadows actually happened.
* One of the images for [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-212 SCP-212]] features a [[EyeScream bloodshot eyeball]] being stabbed by various metal implements.
* [[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 an 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]].

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-228 SCP-228]], [[NothingIsScarier a rather simple, but effective]] entry. It's a photograph that manifests as something different each time it's viewed, based on subconscious thoughts. The anomalous effect does not persist through photographing SCP-228, but does trigger through remote video feed. The database entry includes a live feed with instructions to report disturbing imagery to psychiatric personnel. Three guesses as to what images are usually being cycled. The image will change on a page reset after a minute or so. Images include a happy field of roses; an uncanny faceless woman in sepia tone; and a man naked and possibly unconscious, on top of a stuffed animal, in a filthy bathroom.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-231 SCP-231-07]], a girl of undefined age who was impregnated with some kind of EldritchAbomination by a Satanic sex cult. The only way to keep it from being born is by putting her through "Procedure 110-Montauk" every twenty-four hours, which is described as involving "brutally (DATA EXPUNGED)". It can only be carried out by really obedient Class D Personnel (and before a rewrite to make it more ambiguous, only convicted sex offenders), and is being supervised by employees who have passed a psychological examination (an early warning and implication of who carries this out), and it's [[WordOfGod 10 times worse than whatever you think it is]]. By the way, the specific age of SCP-231 is not specified, only a minimum and maximum, both of which are censored in the article. But the minimum is a ''single-digit number''. And there is a fine print that you may have to View Source to find it: [[WhamLine "Don't believe it when they say they're trying to save her. Why would they bother? They've got exactly what they want exactly where they want it."]]\\

* 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. 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 a {{jerkass}}. 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-231-7 experienced at the hands of the Foundation must have been so awful that it even horrifies GOD.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-232-arc SCP-232]] falls into a similar vein as 173. It's a statue of a Sumerian goddess that will cut you up if you allow any shadows into its constantly-lit containment area.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-238 SCP-238]], an enormous (as in "thousands of miles of tunnels") underground complex. Currently, the only thing that has worked has been blocking it off with a brick wall, and all attempts at exploration have invariably ended horribly, with reports of hallucinations, odd sounds, mysterious accidents and [[MeatMoss partially organic walls]]. And then you get the pictures with the ''giant spiders'', combine it with the comments about an incursion finding something that wasn't "natural", and you can start guessing just what sort of thing's down in those tunnels. It doesn't get much better when you check the comments: Apparently, quite a few [=SCPs=] came from there.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-253 SCP-253]] is a contagious form of cancer. That is scary in and of itself, but it gets worse: if enough people are infected by the cancer, it will start to act as a HiveMind and take control of their bodies through the neoplasms on their brains. And if that's not scary enough, the HiveMind might be able to develop human-like intelligence.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-261 SCP-261]] is a [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/experiment-log-261-ad-de vending machine that dispenses snack foods that might be normal, strange or bizarre]]. As [=SCPs=] go, it's actually pretty fun and not too scary. The disturbing part comes as you slowly read more and more stories about what comes out of the vending machine. The first time living food is dispensed, most researchers refuse to eat it and are as distressed by the idea as most people would be. But as more and more living food items are dispensed from the vending machine, researchers get more and more casual about it, until reports of the living, potentially thinking beings only describe their flavor. As if cramming the recently dead bodies of various cute little alien critters popping out of the machine is the normal and obvious thing to do.

** SCP-261 once produced a fruit from [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-417 SCP-417]]. Not much else needs to be said.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-267 SCP-267]] is a subspecies of naked mole rat that feeds on tumors. They attack large animals, paralyze them, and drag them into their burrows, where they chew off their limbs and pump them full of carcinogenic venom to feed off the tumors this creates. This means that the larder creature, usually a human, is [[FateWorseThanDeath trapped in a pitch-black, reeking cave, in constant agony as the tumors swelling all over its body are chewed off by tiny unseen monsters that vomit root pulp into its mouth on a regular basis]]. This can last for ''decades''.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-280 SCP-280]]. It's a shadowy creature that attacks people and rips them to shreds...for ''no reason''. It can rip through steel to get to its prey, and sudden exposure to light causes it to teleport away to plan its next attack. It was first discovered where it massacred a family of five in their home, the only survivor being a nine-year-old who had come over for a sleepover and was huddling terrified in the basement with only a flashlight for protection. [[ParanoiaFuel Don't turn off the lights, it may be in there with you]].
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-290 SCP-290]] reads like a love letter to the BodyHorror sub-genre: it's a metal sphere that reconfigures your body in wild ways while keeping you alive. The Experiment Log Addendum includes the poor test subject's head "slowly embedding itself into his thigh, both eyes absent", and a strong implication that -- possible BrainBleach warning -- the restructuring of his internal organs had re-routed some of his waste through his chest cavity.
* Speaking of disturbing food dispensers, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-294 SCP-294]] is a coffee machine that can dispense just about any kind of liquid. Like SCP-261, it's, for the most part, a lighthearted, if darkly humorous tale about a vending machine that can make anything (water, coffee, cola, beer...blood, sweat, saliva...liquid nitrogen, molten metal, sulphuric acid...) as long as it can exist in liquid form, though it operates on an extremely eerie case of being strictly literal in how it interprets your commands. If you value your appetite, do not use "joe" as a synonym for "coffee" when inputting what drink you want, especially if your name is Joe, or if there's a Joe somewhere in the room with you. Not only does SCP-261 dispense any liquid possible, but it can actively take that liquid from somewhere so it can dispense it. Said machine, if given the command 'A Cup of Joe' goes for a LiteralMetaphor in a very painful way, extracting and dispensing a mixture of bodily liquids from the nearest person named Joe. It's survivable, but the person this happened to had to be hospitalised for several weeks. There's also "The Perfect Drink", which causes the drinker to become depressive and [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] because "everything else is just a letdown now." For more straightforward ways of killing you, it will happily dispense any kind of industrial chemical you like. There's a ''reason'' why they have two security guards stationed there with orders to shoot anyone who is trying to order anything other than normal drinks or substances strictly for research.

** 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 1 minute and 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?

* 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 measures the Foundation used against SCP-001 was an incredibly powerful missile fired from a submarine. Of course, the subject destroyed it and the people behind it. The submarine was located in the Indian Ocean... on December 26, 2004, the day of the real-life [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_and_tsunami Indian Ocean earthquake]].
* Another 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? It turns out that the minute variations in the cosmic background radiation have ''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.]] A massive industrial complex built in the 19th century, whose owner did a lot of disgusting and disturbing things to his employees and the fabric of reality, and among its production of mundane stuff also released a variety of anomalous artifacts. According to this, the Foundation was created by the people who had to take over the place from spreading the horrors and to classify and decide what to do with its contents. For a while, they used what artifacts they could put a hand on, until an incident that forced them to use a certain room of the place to genocide a supernatural species scared them and made them seal the place for good. Not that it helps, as a constant supply of new [=SCPs=] still keep popping from the place from time to time. Oh, and this document also states that some of the most dangerous groups of interest, like the Church of the Broken God and Marshall, Carter and Dark Ltd., were formed by people who disagree with their former colleagues about what to do with their findings and escaped with artifacts of their own.

*** As a final note, the article isn't sure what will happen if they do this, or if the universe will remain intact following them essentially [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu killing their universe's true gods...]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scantron-s-proposal Another concept]] for SCP-001: [[Wiki/SCPFoundation a massive worldwide organisation that acts like a sociopathic MIB agency.]] That's right, the Foundation itself is a SCP!

** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/djkaktus-s-proposal-ii Part Three, Atonement]] is part of the Ouroboros cycle, so you know it's gonna be a horrifying one. Like all skips, it begins with containment procedures, which are somewhat more drastic than usual. Not only is it constantly guarded by ''four'' specialized task forces, but in the event of a breach the entire facility will be flooded, then dumped into a borehole which is then collapsed, [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill stuffed with an landslide, and the on-site nuclear warhead will be detonated for good measure.]] Then you get to the meat of the article. SCP-001 is what remains of a Foundation researcher who was accidentally locked into a particle accelerator during a test to create a new type of reality anchor, which turned the researcher into a human singularity with god-like control over gravity. In the process, this singularity also gave him knowledge of where all anomalies come from, and how to prevent them from appearing. It tells the O5 council that anomalies are the result of a sort of "bleed" from other universes leaking into ours, and that the borders between worlds have started to break down. The breakdown is amplified by entropy, and within mere decades the walls will break down completely, reducing the multiverse to a boundless chaos of worlds colliding, until all is consumed by entropy.\\

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/djkaktus-s-proposal-iii Part Four, The Way It Ends,]] starts with a new category - Principalis - and leads to a document from the Chaos Insurgency that reveals that the Overseer Council is the SCP in question, lists the sins of what they later call "thirteen immortal demigods", and decrees that they are to die.

** After the field failed, an unknown alien force returned to the Earth. It started to intensify all anomalies under the Foundation's control. Some major examples: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-087 SCP-087]] relocated to the ''Pentagon.'' [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-106 SCP-106]] ''talks.'' Bobble the Clown? He evolved (again) and now teaches adults (using political figures, no less) to willingly participate in depraved acts of violence. And SCP slots 4000-4999 have been bought out by Envelope Logistics (who previously bought slot 2557). And perhaps most strangely, a number of [=SCPs=] that previously involved being transported to other places or exhibited inscrutable (but relatively harmless) functions have developed a fixation on harvesting human brain matter for no identified reason. The list continues. While some of these anomalies are decidedly [[NiceJobFixingItVillain less dangerous]] by definition than before (for example, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-294 SCP-294]] restricts itself to dispense Coca-Cola-owned drinks and damages Coca-Cola's shares as punishment for other inputs), it still doesn't help that this... thing obviously preys on population mass (using souls as a unit of measurement) to inflict as much damage as possible. To reiterate: The Foundation literally gave the Earth a gigantic human ''soul'' to ward it off, by tricking it into thinking it was just a lowly, "non-anomalous" "human" being drifting through space.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/wrong-proposal The Consensus]] details the events of Occult War ''i'', previously known as the Fifth Occult War. This was a global conflict that coalesced from multiple historic conflicts, such as the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War, and escalated greatly. In this reality, anomalies are not only a part of life, but were actively used in these wars. Highlights include the Union and Confederacy being armed with weapons from The Factory and a massive war with the Daevites, which included the slaughter of ethnic Mongols by ''a team-up between the Daevites and Abel.'' To solve this, members of the world's occult organizations came together to create the Foundation and triggered a CK-Class Restructuring Event, basically hitting the ResetButton on the world's history, which created ''our'' world. Events such as the Boxer Rebellion and Taiping Rebellion were retconned into existence by this event. Afterward, the O5's and their successors created things such as SCP-2000, the S/E/K class system, amnestics, and all the modern qualities of the Foundation, and it seems they're preparing to recategorize SCP-001 as just another anomaly. Which, while impressive, highlights just how horrifically powerful the Foundation really is: '''they created a reset button for reality even more powerful and efficient than their first one.''' There are also implications that this event [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unintentionally created entirely new [=SCPs=]]], such as SCP-1173 and SCP-1678.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/shaggydredlocks-proposal S.D. Locke's proposal]]. SCP-001 is the Sun, after an event on an unknown date resulted in it '''melting all living things exposed to its light.''' 6.8 billion casualties in 24 hours was the result. Oh, and everything SCP-001 affects survives exposure and simply become the epitome of BodyHorror as multiple organisms (designated SCP-001-A) fuse together and partially reconstitute themselves. They then work to expose everyone who has avoided this fate to the sunlight. And over the course of the article, SCP-001 turns everyone mentioned into an SCP-001-A instance, including [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou the reader]]. All of this been happening for at least 1,312 days, or a little over ''three and a half years'', by the time you open the first revision of the article, and in addition to the article revisions you also see the catastrophe from the point of view of a researcher who loses her loved ones to the masses of bio-goop and then spends ''985 days'' with no contact from Site-19 (emphasized to be the last beacon of hope against this whole mess and which is implied to have fallen to this solar apocalypse) in a horrifying and slow SanitySlippage culminating in her [[DrivenToSuicide suicide]] one day before you got to the terminal. The most chilling part of the entire article is a short tale of a D-Class trying to distract the beasts, and he manages to kill himself before they can pry his clothes off — except the Sun ''brings him back to life'' and converts him anyway, while he's helpless to do anything but scream. At one point, the researcher uses an occult ritual to bring her girlfriend's soul back... and it's ''still'' an SCP-001 aspect.

* [[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 have been unsuccessful.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-019 SCP-019]] is a normal-looking pot at 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!

** 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 exists, and several traits that don't apply to it.[[/note]]

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-056 SCP-056]] is a condescending shapeshifter who lives by the rule "anything you can do, I can do better" — when exposed to a person, animal, or occasionally inanimate object, he turns himself into a form similar to that of the observed, but which is leagues better in at least one significant way. He sounds like a mere annoyance at first... then 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.

* When you think about [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-085 SCP-085, Cassy's,]] situation, you may realize that it's both terrifying and heartbreaking at the same time; she's a [[AndIMustScream living, sentient drawing but wishes that she was human]]. Also, while she can manipulate other items on the page, and even transfer to other pages, other drawings still aren't alive; if you allow her to transfer to, say, a comic book, it's less "Cassy joins the X-Men" and more "Cassy walks around statues that look like they're in the middle of a pretty cool story." She could take Cyclops' coffee and drink it, but not talk to him. While it's not as bad as it sounds because she's not just stuck in empty whiteness — the world's as big as the amount of drawn material you can convince the O5 Council to let her have — she's also completely alone, and there's nothing to be done about it. However, she does show that the Foundation isn't all bad; references to her involve way more [[PetTheDog petting]] than [[KickTheDog kicking]].

** Have you ever noticed that the picture seems to change? Sometimes the face will be there, and sometimes not. Right-click and select "View Image" and sometimes you'll [[SchmuckBait get a surprise...]]

** There's [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/six-little-mice one tale]] that implies that the true danger in there is 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.

** 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, the earliest that the current prophecy could have been issued was the fourth of April in ''the year 2000''. [[note]]Since the prophecy isn't described in the article, it could be referring to anything, including climate change, the war on terror, the global economic crisis, the Haiti earthquake, the Japanese tsunami, the rise of the Islamic State, the COVID-19 pandemic, and so on. Or even all of these.[[/note]] For perspective, the next longest interval between a prophecy being given and a sacrifice being made was 1363 days. The death toll was in the tens of millions [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion and there was a massive civil war in China.]]

** SCP-106, [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-young-man the early years.]]
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/until-death This short story]] suggests an alternate origin for 106: Remember [[TheWoobie poor]] Dr. Lang from the SCP-3001 entry? 106 is chasing her through the facility, ''because he is what is left of Dr. Robert Scranton''. And it ends with 106[=/=]Robert killing her. Overlaps with TearJerker, of course.
** The [[FacialHorror final image on the page]], one which demonstrates what 106 does to people, is probably the most horrific thing on the page. It's a horribly burned human face, without [[EyeScream eyes]] or teeth. The caption states that [[CruelAndUnusualDeath "Subject survived one hour after recovery."]] The ''real'' horror, though, comes from the picture's origin. It dates back to World War II, and according to Dr. Gears (the poster, not the character) is a mannequin used to show the effects of chemical and radiation burns. However, some other posters don't seem entirely convinced. While quite unlikely, [[NauseaFuel it's possible that the fourth picture does not display a mannequin.]]
** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/once-but-not-now This story provides another alternate origin,]] where 106 is the last of a species of predatory dimension travellers that hunted humankind for millenia. Despite the graphic content, it also doubles as a Tear Jerker, as 106 is alone and old, unable to hunt efficiently, and is going to starve to death.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-120 SCP-120]] is a pink kid's swimming pool that works as a PortalPool, cycling between 11 locations each time you send someone through. The 11 locations include the 5 Lagrange points. Which are in space. It was discovered because of "reports of missing children." It's a convenient way of teleporting, though, except for the Lagrange points. So they simply... cause it to cycle through them. Using D-class personnel.
* [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-127 SCP-127]] is an [=MP5K=] submachine gun. Other than 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 magazine can't be removed]] — [[BizarreAlienBiology "it seems to be permanently attached to the weapon"]].

* [[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.

** Also: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/revised-entry this short story.]] What would happen if said statue replicated? Exponentially? Said entry describes 150 SCP-173s attacking and ripping apart ''SCP-682. The fucking indestructible lizard.'' And it's implied that 682 ''[[KilledOffForReal didn't regenerate]]''. These things were able to destroy him for good... 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". 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. After [[NukeEm total nuclear saturation of Zone X1]], the entire remaining world's navies are to constantly patrol the coasts and sonar the oceans to prevent any 173s escaping Zone X1. [[FromBadToWorse The final part of the story reports that instances of SCP-173 were sighted in Wales]].
** 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 1 minute and 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?

* 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.

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-201 SCP-201]] is an old medical apparatus that teleports anyone who comes within 30 meters to an alternate reality within a period of 48 hours. While this reality superficially resembles Earth, it exists in a perpetual state of twilight and is devoid of all life; all places of human habitation appear as if everyone suddenly vanished at the same instant. [[YearOutsideHourInside Time elapsed in this reality can vary greatly from our own]], but that's not the worst part. The worst part is that people sent to this reality are left to wander it, alone, before being randomly returned to our world. There are no monsters, no weird phenomena, and no other presences. [[NothingIsScarier Just complete and utter isolation with no idea how long you'll be stuck.]] The longest recorded time someone spent there was eight years. If anyone tried to repair any communication devices in that realm, they would receive an automated message coming from the Foundation itself. The link the discovery leads to is related to SCP-2935. This relation may be considered shoehorned solely because of similarity between the two [=SCP's=], but there are arguably even more horrifying implications than before. The first version of the page lacked the relation to another object, but it had [DATA EXPUNGED], which may or may not have been encountered in the alternate world.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-204 SCP-204.]] 204 comes in two parts: 204-1 is a colony of nanomachines that follows around 204-2, protecting them from harm. 204-2 is a child aged from 4 to 14, with a history of being abused, who can control 204-1. When 204-2 turns fourteen, 204-1 finds a new child to protect, and, if the former 204-2 is mentally stable, the former 204-2 is given a Class-A amnestic and put into a foster care program. That's not the NightmareFuel. The real NF comes from an addendum that explains that due to 204-1 freaking out if there isn't another suitable child to imprint on if needed, the Foundation have a group of suitable candidates. However, if they really need candidates quickly, they can enlist some more candidates who don't fit the protocol- i.e., they are of a suitable age (preferably under ten), but they don't have a history of abuse. The Foundation will then '''turn them over to 'caretakers' which will consist of D-class personnel convicted of violent crimes, child abuse, and pedophilia'''. It also says that the procedure for hiring the 'caretakers' is the same one for finding people to perform Procedure 110-Montauk on SCP-231. Jesus Christ.

** And as if to top the whole thing off, 204 is ''ludicrously'' powerful. The initial capture required an ''Abrams tank'' and an '''AC-130'''. Yes... to capture this thing, you need not only one of the most powerful armored vehicles in the world, but also DeathFromAbove UpToEleven.
** Even the fate of the children who naturally outgrow 204-1 is nightmarish. The "lucky" ones get the amnestic... the ones who are mentally unstable are terminated.

* [[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 an 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]].

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-231 SCP-231-07]], a girl of undefined age who was impregnated with some kind of EldritchAbomination by a Satanic sex cult. The only way to keep it from being born is by putting her through "Procedure 110-Montauk" every twenty-four hours, which is described as involving "brutally (DATA EXPUNGED)". It can only be carried out by really obedient Class D Personnel (and before a rewrite to make it more ambiguous, only convicted sex offenders), and is being supervised by employees who have passed a psychological examination (an early warning and implication of who carries this out), and it's [[WordOfGod 10 times worse than whatever you think it is.]] By the way, the specific age of SCP-231 is not specified, only a minimum and maximum, both of which are censored in the article. But the minimum is a ''single-digit number''. And there is a fine print that you may have to View Source to find it: [[WhamLine "Don't believe it when they say they're trying to save her. Why would they bother? They've got exactly what they want exactly where they want it."]]\\

Some of the staff who were involved in the project have taken amnestics to forget it, and false memories have been implanted. Which means that ''anyone'' could have been on the project and not even remember it, assuaged somewhat by the fact that you would've merely been a security guard or pen pusher; only really bad criminals serving life sentences are allowed to perform "Procedure 110-Montauk". Also, the use of amnestics was completely voluntary... although the sheer number of requests for those amnestics should tell you something. And they started using amnesia-inducing drugs on 231 herself; the sum total of 110-Montauk was starting to induce a form of shell shock in the victim. As a constant level of agony and terror needs to be inflicted to suppress the EldritchAbomination, they started wiping her mind of her knowledge of Montauk. Eventually, it was determined that a weekly dosing cycle was most efficient, as the 3rd to 4th time is the most mentally devastating; the first time is horrible, the second time establishes a pattern, and the third confirms that [[DespairEventHorizon this is what the rest of your life is going to be like.]]\\

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-238 SCP-238]], an enormous (as in "thousands of miles of tunnels") underground complex. Currently, the only thing that has worked has been blocking it off with a brick wall, and all attempts at exploration have invariably ended horribly, with reports of hallucinations, odd sounds, mysterious accidents and [[MeatMoss partially organic walls]]. And then you get the pictures with the ''giant spiders'', combine it with the comments about an incursion finding something that wasn't "natural", and you can start guessing just what sort of thing's down in those tunnels. It doesn't get much better when you check the comments: Apparently, quite a few [=SCP=]s came from there.

** SCP-261 once produced a fruit from [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-417 SCP-417.]] Not much else needs to be said.

** After ''19 months'' of containment, the Foundation eventually discovered that the current larder was human, possibly a ''child'' (the age is redacted, but it’s a single-digit) that went missing with their family several decades ago. They took so long to figure out it was human because of [[BodyHorror the lack of limbs and rampant tumors.]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-280 SCP-280.]] It's a shadowy creature that attacks people and rips them to shreds... for ''no reason''. It can rip through steel to get to its prey, and sudden exposure to light causes it to teleport away to plan its next attack. It was first discovered where it massacred a family of five in their home, the only survivor being a nine-year-old who had come over for a sleepover and was huddling terrified in the basement with only a flashlight for protection. [[ParanoiaFuel Don't turn off the lights, it may be in there with you]].

* Speaking of disturbing food dispensers, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-294 SCP-294]] is a coffee machine that can dispense just about any kind of liquid. Like SCP-261, it's, for the most part, a lighthearted, if darkly humorous tale about a vending machine that can make anything (water, coffee, cola, beer... blood, sweat, saliva... liquid nitrogen, molten metal, sulphuric acid...) as long as it can exist in liquid form, though it operates on an extremely eerie case of being strictly literal in how it interprets your commands. If you value your appetite, do not use "joe" as a synonym for "coffee" when inputting what drink you want, especially if your name is Joe, or if there's a Joe somewhere in the room with you. Not only does SCP-261 dispense any liquid possible, but it can actively take that liquid from somewhere so it can dispense it. Said machine, if given the command 'A Cup of Joe' goes for a LiteralMetaphor in a very painful way, extracting and dispensing a mixture of bodily liquids from the nearest person named Joe. It's survivable, but the person this happened to had to be hospitalised for several weeks. There's also "The Perfect Drink", which causes the drinker to become depressive and [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]] because "everything else is just a letdown now." For more straightforward ways of killing you, it will happily dispense any kind of industrial chemical you like. There's a ''reason'' why they have two security guards stationed there with orders to shoot anyone who is trying to order anything other than normal drinks or substances strictly for research.

* [[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...
