->''Mankind must not go back to hiding in fear. No one else will protect us, we must stand up for ourselves.

'''Item #:''' [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4445-j SCP-4445]]

'''Object Class:''' Safe

'''Special Containment Procedures:''' Security of these data has been compromised, rendering further secrecy counter-productive. In accordance with Information Security Protocol 008-C-1 ("Class C breach") and the recommendation of General Bowe, our current orders are to allow all but the most sensitive data to remain freely available. [[SarcasticConfession The nature of these data insures that few will question the official cover story]]: that these data are short works of fiction originating from the {{image board}} "4chan" and uploaded to a publicly edited website (i.e. a "wiki"): [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/ here]].

'''Description:''' SCP-4445 is the incomplete archives of the SCPFoundation, a secret, global organization which exists to study, catalogue, and contain SCP Objects: artifacts and "items which jeopardize normalcy". These range from humans with strange powers, to creatures of extraterrestrial or extradimensional origin, to objects causing unexplainable phenomena, to [DATA EXPUNGED]. All of them represent clear threats to human normalcy, human society, human sanity, human lives, or quite simply the universe at large.

Of course, the nature of SCP Objects means that those who contain and study them must possess certain qualities: keen intelligence, a clinical outlook, and complete ruthlessness. The stakes are far too high to allow concerns like morality or the loss of human lives to interfere...

----
!!Addendum 4445-01: For specific SCP items, please [[Characters/SCPFoundation see the list]].

----
!!Addendum 4445-02: SCP-4445 provides examples of:

* AnAesop: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-505 SCP-505]]
* AfterActionReport
* AlienGeometries
* AndIMustScream (The fate of SCP-439 infectees)
** Also, SCP-762, an iron maiden that keeps anyone trapped in it alive indefinitely.
** Implied fate if you look into the eyes of an [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-531 SCP-531]].
* {{Animorphism}}: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-801 SCP-801]]
** And [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/kain-pathos-crow-s-author-page Dr. Kain Pathos Crow]], who is now a sentient dog and rides around in [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-244 SCP-244]]
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-731 SCP-731]]
* ApocalypticLog: several of the personal logs and mission reports
* ArtifactOfDoom: many
* AttemptedRape: [[spoiler: Doctor Bishop attempting to rape SCP-808.]]
* AveMachina: The Church of the Broken God, one of the organisations that opposes the SCP.
** Also [[InvertedTrope inverted]] with SCP-808, the Machines' God.
* BadassNormal: Most competent foundation personnel
* BagOfHolding: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-695 SCP-695]]
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-medium The Medium]]. Literally.
* BerserkButton: SCP-076-2-'s exposure to a picture of the symbol on SCP-073's forehead. 682's exposure to Earth life...
* BlackBox
* BlobMonster: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1007 SCP-1007]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-861 SCP-861]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-171 SCP-171]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1011 SCP-1011]]...
* BloodKnight: SCP-076-2 (Able)
* BodyHorror: Too many to list
* BodySurf: Dr. Bright via [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-963 SCP-963]].
* BoxedCrook: Class D Personnel.
* BrownNote: Anything tagged as "memetic hazard". (SCP-701, for instance, is a play the performance of which causes the manifestation of a humanoid wrapped in bandages, prompting the actors (and most of the audience) to kill themselves.) The foundation even managed to replicate their effects:
-->''WARNING: ANY NON-AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ACCESSING [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/proposals-for-scp-001 THIS FILE]] WILL BE IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED THROUGH BERRYMAN-LANGFORD MEMETIC KILL AGENT. ONLY AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL SHALL BE INNOCULATED FROM SAID MEMETIC KILL AGENT. SCROLLING DOWN WITHOUT PROPER INNOCULATION WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE CARDIAC ARREST FOLLOWED BY DEATH.''
** To an extent, of course. The picture won't actually ''kill'' you, but staring at it for too long might make you kind of dizzy.
** Actually, they took it from [[http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/blit.htm the future]]. Don't ask how they got it, but they did.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Just about all the scientific personnel, [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/routine-psychological-evaluations-by-dr-glass in one way or another.]]
** Compared to the others, the real BunnyEarsLawyer is Dr. Glass. He's probably the only one with anything resembling ''normal human emotions and morals.''
* CainAndAbel: The original pair. Interestingly, [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-076 Able]] is an immortal BloodKnight searching for a WorthyOpponent (or maybe something that can kill him permanently), while [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-073 Cain]] is a nice and helpful WalkingWasteland (towards plants - he even makes plant ''products'' rot away) with PhotographicMemory and a lot of [[HollywoodCyborg metal]] [[ArtificialLimbs parts]] who reflects all harm done to him.
* {{Cameo}}: A couple of the joke [=SCPs=] - and a few of the regular ones as well.
* CannonFodder / RedShirt: Dying is literally in the job description of Class D Personnel. It can get quite blatant; for instance [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-120 SCP-120]] notes that a moon base was constructed after expending "vast amounts of money and D-personnel".
* ChainsawGood / ThisIsADrill: After [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-076 Able]] started working for the Foundation, some changes were observed in his endless supply of hack-slash-stabbity-chop-chop implements:
--> '''Addendum 076-08:''' As of 08/11/????, SCP-076-2's weapons have become noticeably different, being constructed of an unknown dull, dark brown metal, the items mechanical in design and nature, rather than traditionalist iron forged items. Rotating blades, chain edges, and drills are often present on subject's weaponry, powered and operated by unknown sources. It is unknown as to what prompted this change, and SCP-076-2 again refuses to divulge any information regarding it, stating only "Your people have created such odd blades. I thought I might see how they worked."
* ChessMotifs: [[spoiler:SCP-177 communicates entirely in these, in a more direct manner than usual: it's literally a sentient, animate chessboard, and the only way it ''can'' communicate is by moving its pieces around. A good example of this can be seen in "Wanderlust."]]
* ComboPlatterPowers: Allowing for humanoid [=SCP=]s has resulted in many a MarySue being listed. These are generally deleted within time, but the notoriously bad ones are decomissioned: they remain in the series' canon as past [=SCP=]s and given elaborate destruction sequences.
* CondemnedContestant: D-Class personnel.
* CosmicHorror
* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: Mostly in the [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/foundation-tales Foundation Tales]] and [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/incident-reports-eye-witness-interviews-and-personal-logs Incident Reports]] sections, especially [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/incident-239-b-clef-kondraki Incident 239-b]].
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1016-d SCP-1016]], a blatant MartyStu and [[SelfInsertFic self-insertion]], being [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/termination-log-scp-1016 decomissioned]] in the most gleefully sadistic fashion possible.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/clef-and-dimitri-hit-the-road Clef and Dmitri Hit The Road]]: the two resident CrazyAwesome [[{{Badass}} Badasses]] take a vacation together.
*** And Dmitri seems to be channeling the [[TeamFortress2 Heavy]] at times: "BABIES! I FIGHT BABIES WITH MORE HONOR THAN YOU, COWARD!"
** I'd put [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/duke-till-dawn Duke 'till Dawn]] on this list as well due to the sheer [[{{CrazyAwesome}} insanity]] of Dr. Kondraki's actions, ESPECIALLY [[spoiler:riding [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682 SCP-682]] ]]!
* CrowningMomentOfFunny: Surprisingly, for a site that's determined to leave you terrified, [[Funny/SCPFoundation there's quite a lot.]]
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: SCP-682's introduction to SCP-053. This troper (who feels a little sorry for 682 despite its [[AxeCrazy homicidal tendencies]], considering [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-t-98816-oc108-682 all the crap they put it through attempting to get rid of it]]) pretty much had a complete ten-minute breakdown from dangerous levels of ''awwwwwww....'' [[UnstoppableRage That is, until they come to put it back in its containment area...]]
** Also, [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-368 SCP-368]].
** Also, [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-085 SCP-085]] aka "Cassy", a sweet, friendly girl who lives as a drawing and can interact with anything drawn in the page. In a foundation filled with stuff literally hell-bent on destroying all humans, SCP-085 comes across as one of the most heartwarming objects.
*** Someone asked [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-294 SCP-294]] to produce "something Cassy will like". It dispensed an empty cup with a drawing of a glass with a brown liquid in it. The drawing was given to Cassy, who identified it as a chocolate banana milkshake, and said that it was "delicious". [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]], but to this troper, it's incredibly endearing.
** Something similar happens to [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-208 SCP-208]], a man who literally radiates an aura of friendliness.
* CutenessProximity: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2558-j Pufferkittens.]] '''WARNING:''' Classified Euclid on account of having enough ''d'aaaaaaw'' to disrupt normal staff activities.
* DeadlyGame: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-024 SCP-024]]
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of UrbanFantasy in general.
** SCP-239 and her fate is a deconstruction of HaruhiSuzumiya-style {{Reality Warper}}s.
*** As well as the [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/termination-order Termination Report]] of [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-531-D SCP-531]].
** The series in general could be considered a deconstruction of the concept of {{The Masquerade}}. Specifically, just how far a organization would go in order to maintain said masquerade and the kinds of people who that would support the existence of said masquerade.
* DrivenToSuicide: Commonly happens among Researchers, Agents, and D-Class personnel.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: The fate of any SCP Object which crosses The Able Line (see MartyStu, below).
* EldritchAbomination
* ElementalPowers: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-776 SCP-776]] and others
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: a distressingly large number of SCP objects can cause this.
** Here are just a few: SCP-008 can cause a ZombieApocalypse. SCP-808 could have caused a RobotWar in some combination with SCP-217, SCP-155, and SCP-067. SCP-682 is an OmnicidalManiac that can't be killed by any known means and rapidly adapts new abilities in response to anything it's introduced to -- more than one End of the World scenario involves it getting its hands on something that eliminates its ability to be temporarily incapacitated through massive injury. SCP-217, and SCP-253 are TheVirus. One possible SCP-001 can cause a good old fashioned Biblical apocalypse, in possible conjuction with SCP-995 and SCP-616. SCP-231-7 is strongly believed to potentially bring one of these about if the FetusTerrible inside her is born, which means that she must be constantly and violently [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-093 operates as a gateway into a parallel world AfterTheEnd - with the implication that the threat that destroyed that world could make its way into other universes.
** Also, anything that can cause an ''XK-class End-of-the-World scenario'', such as the speculation involving [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/dr-clef-s-proposal Dr. Clef's proposed SCP-001]] moving, in confluence with a breach in [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/SCP-995 SCP-995]] and the opening of [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/SCP-616 SCP-616]].
*** Not just those. There's at least one other K-class, the CK-class Restructuring scenario, which is mentioned by Dr. Clef in relation to SCP-239. It doesn't end the world outright, but the world is so different that it might as well be gone. Also terrifying is the fact that there are probably several other K-class scenarios... Let's hope they involve pufferkittens.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Every once in a while members of the Foundation demonstrate that there are a very few lines they will not cross, at least not without very good reason. Examples include the researcher with an obsession with exposing children to [[OmnicidalManiac SCP-682]] mysteriously ending up in its containment cell himself.
** Human experimentation with [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-439 SCP-439]] was immediately terminated on discovering that its victims remain alive and possibly [[AndIMustScream conscious]].
** Well summed up with a particularly pointless and unpleasant experiment proposed for [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-505 SCP-505]], when the reason for the proposal being rejected was simply "There is a limit to what I will allow in the name of science.".
**[[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-231 SCP-231's page]] indicates that the Foundation is terribly, ''terribly'' guilt-ridden about it, and more than once have had to deal with agents who have tried to [[spoiler: rescue the girls]]. It's also worth pointing out that [[spoiler: any D-class personnel who tries to "prolong" Procedure 110-Montauk is '''immediately''' executed.]]
** Dr. Clef [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-t-98816-oc108-682 introduced a guest researcher]] to [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-682 SCP-682.]] Why? He had introduced [[ChildrenAreInnocent two children]] to it, one of whom was drugged, neither of whom survived, and planned on continuing.
*** A common misconception. His real objection is that both experiments basically produced no usable data. He didn't seem to have any objection to the 053 experiment.
**** Which does not explain why Clef calls him sick.
*** Also, it probably doesn't hurt that "SCP-053 will regenerate almost instantaneously from any wound, regardless of severity." So he wouldn't have needed to worry about her being killed.
* EvilPhone: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-145 SCP-145]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-989 SCP-989]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-400 SCP-400]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-867 SCP-867]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-519 SCP-519]]
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-283 SCP-283]] is a rock falling sideways. Period.
* ExpospeakGag: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-914 Experiment Log 914]] describes one of the researchers as developing [[{{Nosebleed}} "a sudden acute epistaxis"]] after discovering that a Rockman.EXE cartridge had turned into a Rockman.EXE H-doujin.
* ExtranormalInstitute: Any of the foundation's various sites.
* ExtremeOmnivore: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-524 SCP-524]]; and [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-101 SCP-101]], which is used as a refuse disposal unit
* EyeScream: Various (e.g. [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-525 SCP-525]])
* FaceFullOfAlienWingWong: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-835 SCP-835]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-562 SCP-562]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-600 SCP-600]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-767 SCP-767]]
* FanFic: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-732 SCP-732]] is a "plague on records" that, in-universe, contaminates records files and turns them into bad fan fiction, frequently of the Mary-Sue variety.
--> A recent breach in SCP-''!@#i'manorphanwithnofamilybutlotsofmoneybwahahahaha!@'''s containment, which should have warranted the simple and safe procedure of [DATA EXPUNGED], -somehow- led to the deployment of Mobile Task Force Omega-7. [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-076 SCP-076]]''%^^kicked abel's ass and now he's my bestestestfirend evar!!@#'' was quite displeased when he found that the "elfin death god" he was sent to contain was not a death god of any sort at all. Quite displeased. ''$$onadatewith[[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-808 SCP-808]]!%^''
* FanService: Several personnel requested [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-808 SCP-808]] and [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-105 SCP-105]] hook up, so to speak. They were threatened with cleanup for SCP-682.
* FormulaicMagic: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-033 SCP-033]].
* FourIsDeath: The mean number of wings for [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/dr-clef-s-proposal Dr. Clef's proposed SCP-001]] has been noted to be 4.
* GaidenGame: The [[http://goc.wikidot.com/start Global Occult Coalition]] wiki is in the works, with the GOC focusing more on destruction of SCP candidate objects than studying them.
* GargleBlaster - [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-294 SCP-294]] can make quite a few.
* GeneralRipper: General Bowe, who has attempted to weaponise both [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-514 the Doves of the Peace]] and, by implication, the [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2558-j pufferkittens]].
* GiantSpider: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-694 SCP-694]]
* {{God}}: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-343 SCP-343]]
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Just count the number of times "mandatory psychiatric evaluation" appears or some similar phrase.
* HappyFunBall: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-190 the scp-producing toy chest]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-297 killer vibrator]], among others. [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-018 SCP-018]], like the TropeNamer, has an uncanny ability to accelerate to unsafe speeds.
* {{Hellgate}}: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-354 SCP-354]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-616 SCP-616]]
*HeWhoFightsMonsters: A serious concern, especially in the case of SCP-231.
* {{Hikikomori}}: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-237 SCP-237]]
* HistoricalInJoke
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: [[CaptainObvious Like saying that grass is green.]]
** For in-universe sufferers of Nightmare Fuel, we have poor [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-507 SCP-507]], who involuntarily jumps in between alternate realities. These alternate realities run the gamut of this one and one of many horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible places. The examples given on 507's page are:
*** Someplace perfectly dark, with the sound of breathing ''very'' close by. After that he asked if he could carry a flashlight at all times.
*** Someplace with moldy corpses all over the ground. Wait, did I say corpses? Because they were breathing.
*** [[MadnessMantra "So many spiders."]]
*** The dark place again. The flashlight revealed the breathing to be a man leaning into 507's face so close as to almost be touching him. He had a black suit, black shades, and a SlasherSmile. "Back so soon?"
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/835aarfull The After Action Report for SCP-835]]...there's a reason some data ought to remain expunged...
** Presumably, Procedure 110-Montauk.
* HighTurnoverRate: Not content with having PLENTY of {{Red Shirt}}s, it is standard procedure to terminate them after a month.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Practically every article is an example of this. Among the most stark and disturbing examples are the fates of SCP-231-2 to SCP-231-7. It got to the point where one security guard was angry enough to try and get SCP-231-4 out of the facility and still causes controversy to this day.
* {{IKEA Porn}}: Played creepily in the SCP-217 fic [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/union "Union."]]
* IndyPloy: Dr. Kondraki is a master of this. When assigned the termination of a highly dangerous [[OurVampiresAreDifferent insufficiently different vampire]] SCP ... well:
--> '''Interviewer:''' ''I have here a copy of Dr. Kondraki's termination procedure proposal. Step one in his plan to use cat urine and a pistol loaded with silver bullets. Backup plans two, three, four, and five are listed as, and I quote, 'Wing It,' 'Make Something Up,' 'Cross That Bridge When I Come To It,' and 'Put My Head Between My Knees And Kiss My Ass Goodbye.' ''\\
'''Clef:''' ''[EXPLETIVE REDACTED]''
** One of his colleagues even describes him as, "A master of the IndyPloy."
* InsufferableGenius: Dr. Bright. Worse, his genius is an InformedAbility that can only be inferred from the fact that he's still alive and SCP-963 is not locked in a safe.
* ImmuneToBullets: Various, but especially notable is [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-357 SCP-357]], who's immune ''only'' to bullets.
* IncrediblyLamePun: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-504 SCP-504]] is a species of tomato that hurls itself at people and recordings making poor attempts at humor. The lamer the pun, the faster the hurl.
-->'''Spoken:''' ''"So, I was going to bed, and my brother told me, 'Goodnight! Don't let the bedbugs stick their proboscis in your skin and suck your blood!'" *pause* "Good luck on a healthy dermis!"''\\
'''Result:''' Two-second pause before activity. Tomato clocked at [REDACTED]. Sound barrier broken. Subject killed.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: Subverted with SCP-572, a badly crafted, blunt, and poorly balanced katana that makes its wielder suicidally convinced of the superiority of the sword and their abilities with it.
* KickTheDog: The Foundation does more than a few things that are, simply put, quite horrible. Whether they're examples of this or simply tragic-but-neccessary is [[YourMileageMayVary up to the individual]].
* KillerRobot: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-228 SCP-228]] [[spoiler:-- what [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-808 SCP-808]] would have become after a RobotWar in an [[AlternateHistory alternate timeline]].]]. Also Hatbot.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Class A Amnesiacs
** Brutally deconstructed/subverted in [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/a-man-at-the-top-of-his-profession "A Man at the top of his Profession"]]. Turns out [[spoiler: Class B and C work for recent memories. Class A is just a sedative so the subject can be taken to a secure location and psychologically traumatized until they block out what they saw.]]
*** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/a-man-at-the-top-of-his-profession "A Man at the top of his Profession"]] has been mostly [[CanonDisContinuity rejected as canon]], according to comments from the mods on the discussion page. After all, [[spoiler: if the Foundation couldn't just erase memories, they'd ''kill'' the witnesses, not waste time and resources on horrific torture. They've done so before on several occasions. At most, it might, emphasis on ''might'', have been a policy in the distant past, as indicated by the year in which the story takes place.]]
* LetsMeetTheMeat: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/SCP-261 SCP-261's]] "Eetmees."
* LivingShadow: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-017 SCP-017]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-122 SCP-122-1]]
* LivingStatue: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-011 SCP-011]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-264 SCP-264]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-234 scp 234]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173 SCP-173]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-689 scp 689]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-359 scp 359]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-531 SCP-531]]
** The Foundation has so many statues, they could probably make a statue garden. A very, ''very'' dangerous statue garden.
* LostInTransmission: Otherwise humanity might be exposed to [DATA EXPUNGED] with the plunger.
* MadArtist: various SCP are closely related
* MadDoctor: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-212 SCP-212]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-542 SCP-542]]
* MadeOfIndestructium: The vast majority of inanimate objects are indestructible, to justify the Foundation locking up the dangerous items instead of just tossing them in an incinerator for the good of mankind. In fact, plenty of "safe" objects are also indestructible, including [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-458 SCP-458]], the never-ending pizza box, which has proven impervious to various attempts at destroying it. Yes, they actually tried to destroy a magical box that instantly and inexhaustibly conjures up the favorite pizza of anyone who touches it.
* MagicMirror: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-554 SCP-554]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-242 SCP-242]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-093 SCP-093]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-575 SCP-575]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-543 SCP-543]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-901 SCP-901]]
* MagnificentBastard: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/drclef-member-page Dr. Clef]]
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Clef actually uses this line to introduce himself to a RealityWarper he's about to kill. Considering [[strike:almost]] everyone in the Foundation finds him uncouth and disgusting, he was probably just being wry [[{{Satan}} considering certain...implications about his nature]].
* MartyStu: parodied by [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-10101 SCP-10101]].
** Averted with SCP-076-2. Despite being (some argue) overpowered and (everyone agrees) a total badass, Able is ''not'' written as likeable in any way, is ''not'' always victorious, is ''not'' the center of attention, and is ''not'' (thankfully, or there'd be a lot of badfic) capable of forming relationships. The wiki has an unofficial Mary-Sueness threshold called "The Able Line"--if a humanoid SCP is more of a super[[strike:hero]]being than Able, it probably sucks.
*** Not entirely true on the relationship bit, what with [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-182 Saint]] and all.
*** 182's "relationship" with 076-2 is...[[DisContinuity iffy]]. WordOfGod is that Saint is in love with Able, and keeps bothering him with his weird mind powers like some crazy psychic stalker. Able, on the other hand, is pissed because people are talking to him with telepathic powers and ''won't shut up.''
** Deconstructed with SCP-056, a being that changes its form to always be [[TheMinnesotaFats better than everyone/everything else present]] -- among dogs, it appears as a bigger/fancier/better-groomed dog; given an IQ test, it scores 30 points higher than the smartest person in the room; in a gym, it can always lift 30 lbs more than the strongest person in the room; with no one present, it'll focus on the surveillance camera and turn into a ''better'' one. Anyone talking to it for too long usually ends up ''violently'' hating it. [[InsufferableGenius Its incredible narcissism doesn't help]].
* MentalTimeTravel: Foundation member The Fishmonger, a.k.a. "Observer Zero" [[spoiler:a.k.a. [=FO0=]]] was apparently [[spoiler:an agent of some kind of time traveling organization, sent back in time to his younger self's body to delay the development of GPS just a bit as part of a temporal war between his organization and several other factions. He got distracted by a girl (who was herself a mental time traveler ordered to distract him by one of the other factions, who [[IHaveYourWife threatened to erase her brother from the timeline]]), resulting in his faction ceasing to exist and thus not pulling him back.]] He went on to ... well just read the Wanderlust series of [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/foundation-tales Foundation Tales]].
* TheMessiah: [[spoiler:At the end of Wanderlust, [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-808 SCP-808]]. If [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-239 SCP-239]] believes someone is good, then they will be ''because she's a reality warper'' (and maybe, just maybe, ''literally'' TheMessiah, as in ''{{God}}'').]]
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-343 SCP-343]] is omnipotent and claims to be God. He's also mischevious and people like him a lot, though he's pissed off a doctor by deleting his orders.
* MixAndMatchCritters: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-569 SCP-569]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-517 SCP-517]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-136 SCP-136]] can create them
* MoralEventHorizon:
--> "[[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-590 SCP-590]] is not to be named as anything other then Five Ninety. He is a tool to be used, not someone's friend, sibling, or child."
** The worst part is that he is someone's sibling. Read [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/dr-bright-s-personnel-file Dr. Bright's]] Personnel File. Yeah.
** Their dealings with 352 are more worrying. 352 is Baba Yaga; carnivorous, strong, fast, tough, fond of human flesh, and rated Keter for her aggression. It's been discovered that while she likes humanflesh, she prefers the flesh of young infants. They are considering altering her diet to accommodate this fact.
* MultipleChoicePast: Dr. Clef gets at least one new origin every time he's in a story. Previous claims have included [[spoiler: Satan, Adam, and a RealityWarper who blew up the space shuttle ''Challenger'' in childhood by casually wondering what would happen]], all in the same story.
** Notable in that these are all relayed by Clef himself, who is a self-admitted liar.
** Also the case with SCP-001. There are several articles with that number. None of them may be true, some of them may be decoys for the real SCP-001, or all of them may be true.
* MundaneUtility: So many.

** Sometimes the organization actually does it themselves, like moving [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-294 SCP-294]] to the break room to save money on drinks[[hottip:*:This [[GargleBlaster inevitably]] lead to a requirement for security clearance]].
* MurderIsTheBestSolution: Distressingly common, and considering what the Foundation deals with, distressingly justified. The Foundation takes ''no'' chances.
* MurderousMannequin: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-847 This.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: A group calling itself "The Chaos Insurgency" cannot possibly be up to any good.

* NauseaFuel : Your imagination filling in the details for the DATA EXPUNGED bits on the really creepy SCPs.
** The uncensored report for SCP-835 also qualifies. Urghh...
*** SCP-835 has got nothing, ''nothing'' on SCP-610.
* NecessarilyEvil: The SCP Foundation recognizes that it does ''very bad'' things, for the greater good of humanity.
* NeverHeardThatOneBefore: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-294 SCP-294]] can take any liquid (or anything that can become a liquid) within its unknown range and pour it into a plastic cup. One request was so common that it lead to a special note:
--> **Addendum [SCP-294ad]: ** In order to stem the daily tide of attempts, it is now officially noted that keying in "[[ShockSite two girls]]" gives the standard "OUT OF RANGE" error message. Come up with something more original next time.
* NightmareRetardant: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/joke#pages Joke SCPs]].
** Humorous "Added notes" regarding why the Doctors are no longer able to do so-and-so (often with commentary along the lines of "seriously, what the hell people") can lighten up otherwise dark articles.
* NoKillLikeOverkill: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-788 SCP-788]] Experiment Log:
--> Subject: D-37123\\
Date: ██/██/20██\\
Weapon: RPG-29, loaded with a 105mm HEAT round\\
Procedure: One sheet of SCP-788 was set up at a range of 50 meters. Subject instructed to fire the weapon at the target.\\
Result: [DATA EXPUNGED]
* NoNameGiven: The O5. Most of the time, even their identification numbers are blanked out.
* NoOSHACompliance: Played completely straight. Not only are the prison-recruited D-class personnel regularly treated to definitely unethical and probably lethal experimentation, they are often done so in cases where little useful information is likely to result, and are often subjected to the machinations of some of the more diabolical SCPs purely for the amusement of the ranking research staff. On the other hand, anyone who works at the Foundation willingly is expected to follow reasonable safety procedures, although considering the nature of some SCPs they still have a short life expectancy.
* NoodleIncident: Every single time you see "[DATA EXPUNGED]" or "[REDACTED]"; it seems like the whole idea is to have at least one such incident per SCP. The unspecified reason for ''never'' letting [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-447 SCP-447]] come into contact with dead bodies (''seriously, DON'T!'') is especially noodly and is occasionally referred to elsewhere (as seen below, it scares O5-2 shitless).
** SCP-231 is essentially a NoodleIncident played for {{Squick}} and NightmareFuel rather than laughs.
** The uncensored reports of [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-835 SCP-835]] demonstrate exactly what could be behind every NoodleIncident, and why you really don't want to know.
** Then we have [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-503 SCP-503]], which is one giant NoodleIncident waiting to happen.
*** [[IncrediblyLamePun Oh, you bastard.]]
* NumberOfTheBeast: Both played straight and subverted, with [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-616 SCP-616]] being a HellGate, but [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-666 SCP-666]] is a hut causes hallucinations in anyone who has used drugs (specifically, the hallucinations are those of places they've done drugs in - example: caffine addicts find themselves at a coffee shop)
* OffscreenTeleportation: Several, like [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173 SCP-173]] and [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-689 SCP-689]]
* OminousFog: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-416 SCP 416]], the former SCP-106 [[http://img171.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=51967_SCP-106_122_993lo.jpg]]
* OneHundredAndEight: The highest number of wings observed on [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/dr-clef-s-proposal Dr. Clef's proposed SCP-001]].
** Also, the sum of the time of death (hours + minutes + seconds) for all the holders of [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-843 SCP-843]].
* OrganicTechnology: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-747 SCP-747]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-127 SCP-127]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-003 SCP-003]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-605 SCP-605]]
* {{Oubliette}}
* ParanoiaFuel -- Aside from the obvious, Class D personnel can be recruited from the general population if they run out of condemned prisoners. It is, of course, still debated.
** SCP-112 is an ArtifactOfDoom activated in the presence of any non-virgin ''or'' non-castrated person. ''And it has been stolen by Muslim terrorists.''
* PersonOfMassDestruction -- Pretty much every human housed by the Foundation (and maybe the ''researchers'').
* PhlebotinumBreakdown: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-447 SCP-447]]. It can purify water, it tastes great, increases your fuel economy by 150%, can make your NES output an HDMI signal, turns regular milk into lactose-free milk and can make concrete harder... but please, ''puh-leeze, do NOT let it touch a dead body''. Others are easy to find out: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-427 SCP-427]] will heal you before turning you into a BlobMonster.
* RealityWarper: Several SCPs display varying degrees of Reality Warper abilities. SCP-239 is a Suzumiya Haruhi level one.
** Ironically, some of the decommissioned SCPs were terminated for being reality warpers that essentially blackmail the Foundation: "Give me what I want or I'll run wild." (The alternative OOC reason being quality control to get rid of Mary Sues.)
* RewritingReality: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-871 SCP-871]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-255 SCP-255]]
* {{Room101}}: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-100 SCP-100]]
** This is also possibly a subversion of the [[NineteenEightyFour obvious reference]], since the actual SCP-101 is relatively tame: [[spoiler: it's a bag which eats things and is apparently mostly used for trash disposal.]]
* RunningGag: [DATA EXPUNGED]
** On a not so funny note, that may be to KEEP you from gagging.
** The constant warning that [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-447 SCP-447-2]] should be kept away from dead bodies.
** There's also how the discovery of any SCP being potentially lethal inevitably leads to someone wondering if it could be used to kill SCP-682.
* ScrapbookStory
* SealedEvilInACan: SCP-076-1, amongst others, is one such can. It contained SCP-076-2, but it was a very leaky can, and when SCP-076-2 started working ''for'' the Foundation, it became little more that 076-2's respawn point.
** SCP-231 is an interesting case, as the SCP ''is'' the [[IncrediblyLamePun can]] that the evil is sealed inside. And the Foundation will do ''whatever'' it takes to keep said evil sealed up.
** [[DudeNotFunny You did]] ''[[DudeNotFunny not]]'' [[DudeNotFunny just make that pun.]]
* SeriesMascot: SCP-682 appears to have assumed this role, as witnessed by the protests on the site forums whenever anyone suggests killing it off for good. SCP-808 or SCP-076 may also qualify, depending on whether you prefer your mascots scary, cute or badass. The original one was SCP-173.
* SeriousBusiness: Deconstructed with SCP-514, a flock of doves that neutralizes all weapons and violent urges within 500 meters. The mobile task force assigned to monitor it and keep it out of enemy hands must therefor be proficient in many ''other'' ways of settling disputes - rock-paper-scissors, for example. Or children's card games.
--> '''05-??''': ''Are you serious? The fate of one of our [=SCPs=] could be decided on the outcome of rock-paper-scissors!?''\\
'''Captain ????????''': ''I assure you sir, you have nothing to fear. We are dead serious about these matters.''
** The site itself maintains quality by treating each wiki edit like a live Claymore mine.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Currently there is an ongoing effort to tone down the humorous elements. See [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-192324/scp-like-foundation-personnel this forum thread]] for further explanation. Also, [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/chowderclef "Chowderclef"]] is an official RetCon of all of Dr. Clef's quirky escapades
** Of course, "Chowderclef" still allows for the possibility it's Clef and someone else playing a prank on the rest of the Foundation.
* ShoutOut Overexposure to [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-427 SCP-427]] caused D-073 to start quoting from SystemShock. Well, that and turn into an abomination.
** A number of joke [=SCPs=] are things/people from other media. Some examples include [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-420-j SCP-420-J]] ([[spoiler:[[GuiltyGear Bridget]]]]), [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3001 SCP-3001]] ([[spoiler:{{Evangelion}} Unit-01]]), and [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-360-j SCP-360-J]] ([[spoiler:an Xbox 360]]). (Unfortunately, they've been deleted due to negative votes.)
** The Berryman-Langford Memetic Kill Agent in the SCP-001 index is an obscure reference, but [[http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/blit.htm quite obvious if you recognise it]].
** The last part of SCP-194 may be a ShoutOut to [[spoiler: SevenDays and the Backstep program.]]
** SCP-447-2 is a [[TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy Non-Toxic Edible Green Slime]] that does strange things to corpses.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-261-ad-de Thiotimoline cookies]] are a reference to an old Isaac Asimov joke.
** When [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-066 SCP-066]] (a cube-shaped puzzle) found out it no longer belonged to its previous owner, [[{{Hellraiser}} it deployed chains and ripped the research team apart]].
* ShrugOfGod: When asked about what exactly the [DATA EXPUNGED] and {{Noodle Incident}}s are, most authors decline to give a straight answer and encourage the reader to fill in the gaps for themselves.
* SomethingForEveryone: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-421 SCP-421]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-799 SCP-799]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-508 SCP-508]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-435 SCP-435]]

* {{Squick}}: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-597 SCP-597]] [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-562 562]]
** And others, especially if you wonder what's behind all those blanks and [DATA EXPUNGED]s.
* StatusQuoIsGod: The primary reason for the Foundation's existence.
* TakeOurWordForIt: [DATA EXPUNGED]
* TakeThat: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4444 SCP-4444]] is basically a Take That directed at Gaia Online's SCP Ropeplay Guild.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-953 SCP-953]] killed [[MegaTokyo an Agent Gallagher]] for being an otaku.
* TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday: Site 19, according to one of the propositions for SCP-001.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Inverted with regard to SCP-076-2 and several higher foundation personnel that are... less than stable. There are PLENTY of foundation therapists. The subjects in questions just don't really want anything to do with them.
** Deliberately avoided with SCP-231-7. In order to prevent a possible TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt scenario, her emotional distress has to be ''maximized'' by constantly [DATA EXPUNGED].
*** And subverted in the same: containment procedures for SCP-231 require staff to undergo psychological counseling on a regular basis.
* ThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow: [DATA EXPUNGED]
* {{Troperiffic}}: See the [[Characters/SCPFoundation SCP-specific list list]]
* {{Unfunny}}: Most of the staff.
* WhatMeasureIsAMook - Canon is flip-floppy on whether they still execute D-Class personnel monthly, or not.
** Of course, it seems that a lot of them really deserve this sort of treatment as it's implied that an awful lot of them are barred from experiments that require subjects to not be sociopaths or sexual deviants...with tests that apparently pass doctors who feed each other to 682 and gender swap for fun. And guards and scientists are occasionally reclassified to D level for things such as using SCP-294 to produce meth, LSD and heroin.
* WalkingWasteland: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-353 SCP-353]], [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-073 SCP-073]] (towards plants and plant products - animals are fine)
* WeHaveReserves: The general treatment of Class D personnel. Especially evident with testing for [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-504 SCP-504]], where it was discovered that recordings worked just as well as people, yet whoever was overseeing the test continued using people, apparently just because he didn't like them (although it's at least noted that he would be reprimanded for it).
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The Foundation, putting it ''lightly.''
** The Foundation considers the Global Occult Coalition to be [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well Intentioned Extremists]], because by destroying SCP objects they are risking both destroying any chance of gaining knowledge from the objects and eliminating something humanity might really, really need in the future.
*** And in return, the GOC look down on the SCP Foundation for not being extreme enough
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-014 SCP-014]], the Concrete Man.
* TheWoobie A lot of them.
** SCP-231. All seven of them, but ''especially'' SCP-231-7.
*** Compounding it: Due to constant exposure to it, SCP-231-7 has started to show reduced emotional response to Procedure 110-Montauk, running greater risk of TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. The solution? Administering Class A Amnesiacs to her during ''every'' procedure, so every time it happens, it is her ''first'' time. ''Goddamn.''
**** They've perfected it. Now, they give her amnesia every...fourth attempt. So, she experiences it, dreads the next one, fears the next one, and then once she's almost used to it, she forgets the whole thing. Fun.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-590 SCP-590]]. A young man who has the power to [[EmpathicHealer heal injuries, both mental and physical, with a touch, taking them into himself.]] The first thing the Foundation does is infect him with mental retardation to keep him pliable, then strap him to a hospital bed and start using him as a disease repository to clean out personnel who get sick.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-187 SCP-187]]
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-085 SCP-085]]. A sentient drawing (created from an experiment involving SCP-067 and SCP-914), fully aware of her 2D status and described as quite friendly...but she's unable to see or hear people in the third dimension, which means things are awfully lonely most of the time. Communication can only be made by writing on the paper she currently exists on.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-042 SCP-042]]. A formerly winged horse, now in suicidal depression.
* WorthyOpponent: SCP-076-2 lamented the loss of an SCP agent who was able to match him in combat. Partly because said agent died when an on-site nuclear warhead was detonated (to stop 076-2) instead of in combat (as 076-2 thought a WorthyOpponent deserved) and partly because fighting the Foundation was ''really'' boring without said agent there to make it challenging.
* YouAreNumberSix: Every humanoid SCP is referred to by their designated number. Most of them don't mind this.
* YouFailTheIQTest: The {{Blob Monster}}s created by overexposure to [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-427 427]] are claimed to have IQ that could possibly exceed 400.
* ZombieApocalypse - Sort of. The "Unclean" on the other side of the mirror if one is holding SCP-093 caused one on the other side, and are the result of exposure to "His Tears", which cause genetic restructuring in the victims. They absorb their victims - a crazed log by one state the absorbed "live forever", apparently forming a HiveMind. [[ItMakesSenseInContext You'll have to read the logs and items recovered to understand.]] Also, SCP-008 is a straight take on a possible ''cause'' for one.
** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-610 SCP-610]] is essentially [[{{Halo}} The Flood]], except horrifically ''much'' worse and spread by viruses.
