Misters | Pitch Haven

The Little Misters are a series of anomalous humanoids created by Dr. Wondertainment. Finding all of them will turn you into Mr. Collector. Gamers Against Weed also created their own series of Misters as a parody.

Mister SCPs and tales featuring them can be found here. Mr. Fish and Ms. Mad About Video Games have their own tags here and here.

    open/close all folders 

    Little Misters (in general) 
  • Artificial Human: Most of the Misters appear to be human or mostly human but they have no memories from before they were Misters. They were manufactured by various groups of interest.
  • Scannable Man: All of the Little Misters have a tattoo somewhere on their body that marks them as a product of whoever created them.

    Little Misters by Dr. Wondertainment 
  • Depending on the Writer: Why the Little Misters were made, what their abilities are, and if they are former humans or were created as they are depends greatly on the author. Several of them appeared in tales before their SCP articles were actually written and have very different abilities in them.
  • Literal Split Personality: According to least one story, the Little Misters are based on aspects of Doctor Wondertainment's personality. This includes the bad ones like Mister Redd and Mister Silence.
  • Living Toys: A rather disturbing version of this trope. They were created by a toy company with the intention that people would collect them, but they are fully sapient and appear to be mostly human biologically.

SCP-527 - Mr. Fish

Mr. Fish, designated SCP-527, is a Little Mister who is non-anomalous on almost all counts. The only trait that could qualify him as anomalous nature is the fact that his head is that of a goldfish. Mr. Fish displays no other anomalous qualities, since his head functions the same as the head of any other non-anomalous human, allowing him to be is capable of speech.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

  • But Now I Must Go: In SCP-6314, itself a Distant Sequel to SCP-2217, he leaves the Foundation and moves to Boston to try and track down Wondertainment. Sara Kothari gives him SCP-6314-F, a barb fish named Ferdinand with a human face; Kothari realizes it's probably wrong to give a pet as a gift, but Mr. Fish immediately recognizes Ferdinand's face as his own.
  • Butt-Monkey: He often gets dragged unwillingly into dangerous adventures and suffering a lot of pain.
  • Heart Is an Awesome Power: Who better to trust the master keys to a massive prison of aquatic anomalies than a fish man who's been through hell himself?
  • The Jailer: Project Isorropia reveals he is the long-lost warden of the FISH PRISON (or a version of him, anyways.) Though a bit harebrained, once the FISH PRISON detects his return, he takes to his true calling quite well and unlocks a trove of equipment specialized for capturing and containing aquatic SCPs, which in turn entices the Foundation to drop his SCP designation entirely and make him an official staff member.
  • Non-Human Head: SCP-527 has a human body, except for his head, which is that of a gold barb fish. Despite this, he can think and speak as well as a human being.
  • Precision F-Strike:
    Dr. Baker: Do you… have any idea why your creator might have fashioned you in this… way?
    Mr. Fish: Fuck if I know.
  • Scannable Man: Not a barcode, but a label tattooed on his foot. "Mr. Fish, from Little Misters ® by Dr. Wondertainment".
  • Was Once a Man: SCP-6314 suggests he was a normal human whose head was swapped with that of a fish named Ferdinand, which became SCP-6314-F. The Foundation suggests giving Ferdinand to Fish whilst unaware of the connection, something he immediately accepts just before he moves to Boston.
  • What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: His only power is that he has a fish head: despite what the Foundation expected, he can't breath underwater, he can't communicate with fish, and he has no other strange abilities.

SCP-629 - Mr. Brass

Mr. Brass, known as SCP-629, is a Little Mister made entirely of bronze and tin, appearing as a middle-aged man with a beard, button down shirt, tie, jeans, shoes, jacket and beanie. Mr. Brass is sapient and capable of speech, and while he's not particularly amicable with the Foundation, he does cooperate in their interviews and tests. Despite the rigidity of bronze and an apparent lack of mechanization, Mr. Brass is capable of ambulation and articulation, during which his metallic body often produces mechanical clicking and whirring sounds.
  • Alternate Universe: The rewritten version of SCP-629 radically reinterprets the Little Misters series. In this universe the Little Misters are the members of a band created by Doctor Wondertainment. The writer did this because they set the new version of the article in the What A Wonderful World canon and they felt that Dr. Wondertainment creating artificial humans for people to collect was out of character for them in that canon.
  • Easily Detachable Robot Parts: His legs, arms, torso and head are all detachable and can be reattached to any part of his body.
  • God Guise: In the original version of the article, the Foundation found him in the custody of the Cogwork Orthodox Church, a sect of Mekanites who believed him to be a prophet or manifestation of their god Mekhane.

SCP-644 - Mr. Hot

Mr. Hot, known as SCP-644, is a Little Mister who visually appears to be 30 years old and of Italian descent. Mr. Hot is able to accurately determine whether or not a person has children, biological or adopted, as well as determining the greatest material wish of any child he can sense, as well as the popularity of any product intended for children.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: In the first interview with Mr. Hot after his capture, the Foundation scientist in charge of researching him puts him in a room tailer made to contain someone with powerful pyrokinetic abilities, only to discover that this Little Mister is essentially a supernatural toy salesman.

SCP-905 - Mr. Chameleon

Mr. Chameleon, known as SCP-905, is a Little Mister composed entirely of photons, which form a humanoid shape. Mr. Chameleon has shown the ability to speak through the manipulation of air particles, as well as the same movement as a man of the same body structure. Due to his photonic nature, he is unable to manipulate solid objects, aside from emitting weak electromagnetic radiation. Mr. Chameleon sheds photons at a constant rate of approximately 0.001% of his body volume per second. He also shows the ability to change the wavelengths emitted from these shed protons to match his background, but shows an inability to absorb colored lights. Due to the constant loss of photons, Mr. Chameleon must be "fed" regularly in order to maintain a "healthy" body volume. Feeding him too many photons causes oversaturation, which he describes as an extremely painful burning sensation.

SCP-909 - Mr. Forgetful

Mr. Forgetful, designated SCP-909, is a Little Mister appearing as a young adult Caucasian man wearing a 3-piece suit. Mr. Forgetful gets his name because he suffers from permanent anterograde amnesia. He seems to be aware of his condition, but he cannot recall experiences past a certain point. Mr. Forgetful's anomalous effect becomes apparent when he writes down any experience still in his working memory. When described through writing, the experience immediately enters his long term memory, but it will disappear from the memory of every other person near him.

SCP-913 - Mr. Hungry

Mr. Hungry, known as SCP-913, is a Little Mister appearing as a middle-aged African-American man wearing a shirt and dress pants. Mr. Hungry is known to have an extremely fast metabolism, requiring the recommended daily caloric intake for a normal person every 2 hours. If he does not eat the recommended amount of calories within two hours, Mr. Hungry will enter a trance. During this time, he will break down and ingest any solid matter he can find, including indigestible matter. He can rend objects with an estimated force of 3000 N, and bite objects with an estimated force of 5000 N while in his trance state, while also being unable to distinguish between living subjects and other material.
  • Big Eater: SCP-913 must eat the normal daily caloric requirement of a human being every two hours, or he falls into a trance and becomes an Extreme Omnivore.
  • Extreme Omnivore: If SCP-913 doesn't get enough to eat, he will eat any solid matter that he can get his hands on.

SCP-917 - Mr. Moon

Mr. Moon, given the designation SCP-917, is a Little Mister appearing as an elderly Caucasian man wearing a coat, dress shirt, and slacks. Mr. Moon’s facial features will disappear and reappear in relation to the lunar cycle, completely disappearing during a new moon and appearing normally during a full moon. This process mimics the phases of the moon, beginning at the left ear and crossing his face. Mr. Moon has explained that the experience is painless, but it leaves him blind, deaf, and mute when his related features are absent.
  • Facial Horror: As the new moon phase occurs, his facial features disappear.
  • Lunacy: His facial features appear and disappear according to the lunar cycle.

SCP-920 - Mr. Lost

Mr. Lost, known as SCP-920, is a Little Mister appearing as an Asian man of indeterminable age wearing a green hoodie, a white t-shirt, and jeans. Leading Mr. Lost to a certain destination is physically impossible, as he shows an inability to control his own movements and will instead wander about, being unable to choose a location. Mr. Lost also seems to have a slight psychic pull, causing subjects that come in contact with him to feel a compulsion to "walk and talk" with him. Conversing with him is not recommended, as subjects will follow him and become lost. He does not appear to have normal human requirements, and can "wander" through deserts, tundra, and oceans without any difficulties.
  • Charm Person: People who see him feel a strong compulsion to "walk and talk with him". This invariably gets that person lost, possibly even dead due to thirst or starvation.
  • Contrived Coincidence: An attempt to take SCP-920 to a location will fail, possibly because of an astounding coincidence.
  • Idiot Ball: If someone tries to move SCP-920 to another location, the attempt will fail. One way this can occur is the people picking him up making very stupid decisions on where to go, causing them to all become hopelessly lost.
  • The Needless: Doesn't seem to need food, water, sleep, or anything else that a normal human being would need. He's been spotted wandering through vast deserts, tundras, and even oceans without any apparent difficulty.
  • No Sense of Direction:
    • He has no control over his own movements, causing him to wander aimlessly. As such, he can't follow any directions to get places.
    • It's impossible to contain him for long. Lock him in a room, and he'll suddenly reappear five miles away, completely lost. Again.
    • Being in his presence also appears to induce this in others.
  • Perpetual-Motion Monster: He's a man, but fit this trope nonetheless. Doesn't seem to need food, water, sleep, or anything else that a normal human being would need.
  • Scannable Man: Not a barcode, but a label tattooed on his left calf. "Mr. Lost from Little Misters ® by Dr. Wondertainment".
  • Walking the Earth: He's called Mr. Lost for a reason, and he sends people he talks to on similar journeys, although unlike him, they can get un-lost (if they don't die of thirst or starvation first, that is).
  • Walking Techbane: Any attempt to lead SCP-920 somewhere using a technological device (such as a GPS system) will cause that device to fail. In fact, the Foundation has to use satellites to track him because tracking him through other means (such as helicopters) failed due to his abilities.

SCP-1007 - Mr. Life and Mr. Death

“Mr. Life and Mr. Death”, given the designation SCP-1007, is a Little Mister that appears to be of indeterminate ethnicity. His anomalous feature is that he undergoes the entire human life cycle within a 75 minute time-frame, aging at the rate of one year per minute. Once 75 minutes have elapsed, Mr. Life/Death will invariably die of spontaneous cessation of metabolic activity with no evident cause. SCP-1007-1 is a key that fits into a small metal keyhole inserted into Mr. Life/Death’s back, between his shoulder blades. When 1007-1 is turned, Mr. Life/Death’s physical age is reversed by one year for each turn, until he has regressed to the form of a neonate.

SCP-1799 - Mr. Laugh

Mr. Laugh, given the designation SCP-1799, is a Little Mister who possesses the physical characteristics of a clown, with facial skin devoid of pigmentation, elongated feet, and a circular red nose. Every attempt Mr. Laugh makes to verbally communicate with humans subjects will be interpreted by the subjects in question as a joke. The longer he continues speaking, the funnier the "jokes" will become, until the subjects are overcome by laughter. Due to his effect, Mr. Laugh is extremely difficult to direct and interact with.
  • Brown Note: Anyone who converses with him will instantly believe that everything he says is a joke and be sent into fits of hysterical laughter, which will only get worse as the conversation continues.
  • The Eeyore: Being laughed at for every single moment of your life and being randomly forced into doing painful magic tricks is certainly not good for your mental well-being.
  • The Hyena: What he unwillingly causes people to become.
  • Magical Clown: Mr. Laugh is capable of performing magic tricks without any props, such as removing and reattaching his limb, pulling a string of cloth out of his mouth, and extruding smoke from his orifices. The problem is, he cannot control any of them and all of them are very painful.
  • Ironic Name: Mr. Laugh is suicidally depressed.
  • Sad Clown: Played with. Mr. Laugh himself is a literal representation of the "sad clown" trope, being a depressed clown that cracks jokes. Yet this trope only applies when people in-universe were affected by him, when people think he's cracking jokes. From the document's (reader's) standpoint, Mr. Laugh is clearly a suicidally depressed person who is not even attempting to hide his pains.

SCP-2396 - Ms. Sweetie

  • Ambiguously Human: Says she can't remember if she was always like this or used to be human.
  • Anthropomorphic Food: Says she used to be made from sweets and sugary confections before Wondertainment gave her a human form.
  • Attractive Bent-Gender: She's scared to tell the other Little Misters that she suspects she started as a man.
  • Body Horror: If a male human touches one of the candies she produces (designated SCP-2396-A), he will have his body gradually converted into hard candy until he becomes an instance of SCP-2396-B.
  • Does Not Like Men: The feeling is mutual on the part of any male humans who encounter her, if she's taken in enough sugar.
  • Living Toys: Possibly. She's clearly alive, and in the interview logs, she refers to herself as a "girl's toy".
  • Rape as Backstory: Says it wasn't rape but that Mr. Redd did something to her with "adoration in his eyes" that made the other Little Misters want to kill him.
  • The Smurfette Principle: She alludes to this trope and complains about being the only female in the Little Misters line.
  • Solid Gold Poop: Wondertainment changed her from candy to human form after she vomited sugar plum pudding for two straight weeks.
  • Statuesque Stunner: She's 2.5 meters tall.
  • Sweet Tooth: She claims to need to eat food containing sugar, as she otherwise undergoes great pain.
  • Team Mom: Says the other Little Misters either fell in love with her or saw her as a mommy.
  • Technicolor Eyes: She has eyes with pink irises.
  • Unicorn: SCP-2396-B will sometimes take this form.

MR.Redd

  • All for Nothing: He manages to release The Scarlet King from SCP-231 only for it to be immediately sealed away by Mr. Collector and for him to then get locked up by the Foundation.
  • Black Sheep: He is listed as discontinued on the list of Misters that they all come with. In the Tales of Mr. Collector series this is because of something horrible he did to Ms. Sweetie.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Once just a particularly unhappy Little Mister, he's now a powerful servant of the Scarlet King.
  • Psycho Knife Nut: He can generate red knives he uses as weapons.

Mister Silence

  • Black Sheep: To an even greater degree than Mr. Redd. The other Misters never talk about him and possibly don't even know he exists. Doctor Wondertainment considers him to be so dangerous that he wants him to be forgotten.
  • Painting the Medium: Text referring to him appears purple.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: He is one of the anomalies sealed away forever in SCP-3790. He is locked in a box bound in chains and the box itself is also placed in a cell whose door has been welded shut.
  • Super Prototype: He was the very first Little Mister that Doctor Wondertainment ever made and was considered to be so dangerous that the doctor locked him in a box and voluntarily surrendered him to the Department of Abnormalities to make sure he would never see the light of day again.
  • Un-person: He is the only one of Doctor Wondertainment's Little Misters that is not listed on the lists of Misters because unlike the rest he does not want Mister Silence to ever be found.

    Brand New Little Misters by Dr. Wondertainment 
The more you try to think, the more it will hurt. This is penance for your hubris.
A new generation of Little Misters targeting the Foundation personally. They occupy an Alternate Universe where Dr. Wondertainment doesn't exist, though it is implied they are remnants of a previous cycle of the universe where they did exist, sent to this one by the Doctor in a mad quest for revenge.

General Tropes

  • Allegorical Character: Of the Foundation's sins and every single time they've failed across the multiverse. This is furthered by how it's suggested that the Brand New Little Misters aren't singular identities, but titles that are passed from person to person, making their existence even more symbolic than if they were like their predecessors.
  • The Bad Guy Wins: By the end of the series, the entire O5 council is either dead, compromised, or broken by the events caused by their respective Mister. Also, it's implied Redd transported himself to the new universe as well, which would allow him to do as he pleases in a world where his company never existed.
  • Darker and Edgier: The ways the new Misters affect their marks (or create themselves out of their dead bodies) have a distinct Psychological Horror element to them that no other iteration of Wondertainment could even conceive of pulling. The themes of each article also wax philosophical much more openly than what would be expected of the machinations of a simple toymaker.
  • Driving Question: Wondertainment created them in a previous timeline. They were sent to this one to chase down the Overseers. We know why, but how?
  • Evil Knockoff: It's implied Mr. Dimension and Mr. Chronal spoofed SCP-2000 to make the jump past the end of the previous timeline. They tried to zap the company together with the other Brand New Misters, but that plan evidently fizzled out. Like it was ever the point, though.
  • Legacy Character: It is implied their names don't refer to singular beings, but are titles that can be passed down from person to person. O5-2 dies inside SCP-5289 and becomes Mr. Remembrance, O5-4 is suggested to be Mr. Collector's reincarnation and is fated to relive his predecessor's life, and O5-12 devours enough of the new Mr. Fish to drown herself in the ocean and inherit his title.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Just as the Doctor ordered, the Foundation finds themselves on the wrong end of the Brand New Little Misters' abilities because of their decisions to contain them.
    We swam in a sea we knew to be empty. We should have been more careful.
  • Thanatos Gambit: The Misters who came to the new timeline as living beings are dead when the Foundation finds them (except for SCP-1019-A, but he might as well be Legally Dead given his condition), but are still able to execute their missions regardless through anomalies that persist beyond death.

Mr. Prologue

Not actually a Mister, but Mr. Money and Mr. Hot's last conversation with each other as they toast to the end of their world.

Even still, they have a feeling their journey isn't over quite yet...
  • Face Death with Dignity: Although SCP-001-LILY is likely compelling them to do so, Money and Hot decide to have a toast once they realize the world's ending.
  • Gone Horribly Right: Hot's always been right about where his company was headed. It's unlikely, however, that he'd expect the survival of the end of the world to make things so bitter.
  • Start of Darkness: The doctor's revenge from beyond the grave starts with Mr. Prologue, of course.

SCP-5289 - Mr. Remembrance

SCP-5289 is a 5x5x5-meter concrete and rebar cube, previously used by the ASCI as a containment chamber. It is unusually resilient, but things start to get especially strange when O5-2 vanishes during a power outage.
  • Central Theme: Guilt, and the inability to handle it. It's implied O5-2 seals herself inside SCP-5289 and dies in the process, becoming Mr. Remembrance as she is unable to cope with the guilt of all the times the Ethics Committee has fought.
    I would stay in a silent room for all eternity, if it meant I would never hurt anyone.
  • Mythology Gag: It's a concrete-rebar structure as old as the Foundation itself, moved to Site-19 at an unknown date. Are we talking about a prototype containment chamber, or SCP-173?

SCP-1019 - Mr. Toxic

Mr. Toxic, given the designation SCP-1019-A, is a sapient amalgamation of several human bodies in a roughly spherical shape and capable of minimal movement. He is able to speak, albeit incoherently, and he shows no further signs of intelligence. He resides in SCP-1019, an underground facility located in Alcross, Sweden with a layout almost identical to Site-179's underground component. Officially, he is unrelated to the Foundation's history or the Brand New Misters. The truth, as only O5-6 and O5-7 realize, is far worse.
  • Central Theme: How far are you willing to go to save your skin?
  • Doomed by Canon: The article ends with O5-6 and O5-7 arranging to meet to discuss their findings after having previously learned the truth about SCP-5760, but the series format dictates that their choices will be irrelevant, as Gears and Memory will either kill or become them no matter what they do.
  • Transhuman Treachery: SCP-1019-A is O5-3, who built SCP-1019 to escape an unspecified disaster, and together with its inhabitants improved themselves with cybernetics while the outside world was Reclaimed by Nature. Unfortunately, he realized that he was really running from human civilization all along, and an unknown entity came to make him repent for abandoning them. O5-3 and the others eventually returned to their meatselves, but the process was flawed, and only his mind survived with a titanic amount of guilt and a faint flicker of hope that the Foundation wouldn't end up like him.

SCP-1908 - Mr. Soap

SCP-1908 is a Brand New Mister of various bath-related names, which takes the form of a sapient mass of opaque, white-blue soap water approximately 190 liters in volume. He can locomote by rolling himself across the ground in a roughly spherical mass, though maintaining this shape appears to be taxing. To interact with his environment in more complex manners, 1908 will partially coalesce himself into portions of human anatomy (SCP-1908-A). When he is not consciously exerting control over 1908-A, 1908 will manifest and unmanifest at random intervals.

SCP-5760 - Mr. Collector

SCP-5760 is a mummified, indestructible corpse. He's functionally alive, though no one knows if he can actually feel anything.

His name is not a coincidence.
  • Canon Character All Along: The O5-4 of the previous universe, specifically the one that followed the events of SCP-REDD and became Mr. Collector.
  • Never the Selves Shall Meet: O5-6 and O5-7 really, really don't want his Reincarnation getting anywhere near his corpse.
  • Small Role, Big Impact: Long dead and harmless, but his true identity provides a major clue for the origins of the Brand New Little Misters and their reason for existing.

SCP-6558 - Mr. Nobody

SCP-6558 is an anomaly where SCP documents will reference another non-existent anomaly in bizarre ways that often admonish the Foundation's mission. It is implied that Dr. Wondertainment either created or contracted a Pattern Screamer, resulting in the infection after they rechristened them as Mr. Nobody.

SCP-6627 - Mr. Chronal and Mr. Dimension

SCP-6627 is a factory and office building, transported to this world through a tear in reality. It is implied to be the ruins of Dr. Wondertainment's old headquarters.
  • Ambiguous Situation: The corpse in the main office could be taken as Wondertainment, as it's wearing a suit bisected with two colors. However, Wondertainment typically uses purple and yellow; the suit of the skeleton uses black instead, implying that it may also be the remains of Chronal and Dimension in the same way that Mr. Life and Mr. Death were one person in the previous timeline.
  • Bittersweet Ending: O5-11 is left unharmed by the Mister intended for them, but if O5-6 and O5-7 are to be believed, they're in for a rough ride as long as O5-4 is still working with them.
  • Evil Knockoff: It is mentioned that the only way the building could have arrived in baseline reality is through an advanced geothermal generator. A link to SCP-2000 is placed here, implying Wondertainment copied it for his own ends.
  • I Know You're Watching Me: Implied at the end with O5-4's access to the document together with O5-11. At this point in the series, he had already been revealed to be Mr. Collector's reincarnation and could not be trusted to monitor his brethren anymore.

    Misters by Gamers Against Weed 

SCP-2562 - RTFM

Also known as Mr. Top Text and Mr. Bottom Text, they're a pair of men who alter any documents they touch.
  • Bookends: Their powers involve the creation of these.
  • Mirror Character: Mr. Top Text adds text near the beginning of a document, usually by clarifying the document's content. Mr. Bottom Text simply replaces text near the end with "BOTTOM TEXT".
  • Foil: Mr. Top Text is cooperative with Foundation staff, but Mr. Bottom Text is not.

SCP-3090 - Ms. Mad About Video Games

A list of her appearances can be found here.
  • Losing Your Head: She can detach her own head. She is however unable to communicate while it is detached.
  • TV Head Robot: While she isn't a robot, she had a TV screen for a head.

SCP-3015 - A Story Concerning Self-Doubt, Slight Disillusionment, and Frustration, As Told By the Lucky Member of a Group Whose Relatable Works Are Loved Internationally

Also known as Mr. Bernie Sanders.
  • Ass Shove: It's main anomolous trait is activated when someone says the phrase "Feel the burn", which will cause it to spread its ass and open a portal to a warehouse. Yes, we are not joking.
  • Bait-and-Switch: SCP-3015 is "Mr. Bernie Sanders", and its anomalous traits are activated by saying "Feel the burn". Besides that, it has no connection to the politician of the same name.
  • Open Sesame: The phrase "Feel the burn" or certain other phrases containing those three words (such as "It's time to feel the burn" and "I feel the burn") must be spoken to activate the portal.
  • Rouge Angles of Satin: In Document 3015-C, a link to a YouTube video has the text "hear is the lick".

SCP-4239- Mr. Destiny

  • Cosmic Retcon: Gamers Against Weed accidentally altered history when they created 4239. He claims to be ''as old as the first written word for fate" and has a presence in Sarkic mythology.
  • Non-Human Head: He has a canine head that constantly changes between different types of dogs.
  • Hero of Another Story: He's spent most of recorded history battling malevolent anomalous being trying to force their designs on humanity.
  • Super-Strength: The GOC note that he has physical prowess far beyond what a normal human is capable of. Before GAW set up shop on his island, Destiny travelled to the mainland usually just by swimming the entire way.
  • Winds of Destiny, Change!: When he calls a person to his island, events will conspire to make their journey incredibly easy.

    Tiny Señors By Professor Funtastic (In General) 
  • Mundane Horror: At least three of the Senors are walking analysis of various mental issues such as anxiety and lack of purpose; their gimmicks lower in stakes and played for character-drama.
  • Recurring Element: The Senors that agree to interviews are suffering from major mental problems, their articles being about uplifting oneself past the trauma brought on by said issues.
  • Shoddy Knockoff Product: All of them to the Little Misters. If Wondertainment's bemused response to Funtastic in 6067's article is anything to go by, he's not very fond of them.

    Tiny Señors by Professor Funtastic 

SCP-1551-EX - Señor Pig

  • Animal Testing: The Foundation engages in this with 1551-ex to determine if it's anomalous. Numerous tests are done, but nothing is found. 1551-ex ends the article missing its right eye, its right ear and its front foreleg.
  • Body Horror: Senor Pig is a pig with a human face attached to its forehead.
  • Death of Personality: Parodied. Pig has the face of a farmer named Mateo G. Hernandez on its forehead. This leads the Foundation on a wild goose chase of tests trying to determine if Pig was made from (or houses the soul of) Mr. Hernandez. All of their testing determines that it's just an animal with nothing weird about it.
  • Exactly What It Says Onthe Tin: It's a Senor. And it's a pig. It's Senor Pig.
  • Flat Character: It's just a pig.
  • Red Herring: Played for Laughs. The face on Pig's head leads the reader (and the Foundation) to assume it's a homunculus containing the personality and/or soul of the human the face belonged to. Turns out it wasn't - Funtastic just ripped a man's face off and put it on a pig.
  • Team Pet: Out of the Tiny Senors. The face on its forehead seems to be the closest attempt to make Pig look human. Everything else is just a pig wearing clothes. It's neither sapient nor remarkable.

SCP-5057 - Señor Taste

  • A Friend in Need: Dr. Cole notices 5057's temperament is melancholy and sullen in contrast to the child-like wonder its documents said it had. Taste eventually opens up to Dr. Cole, who promptly confronts Rex's supervisor about it. Everwood tries to distance himself from the situation, but Cole keeps pushing. The Ethics Committee catches wind of the fiasco eventually and forces them to apologize.
  • Broken Bird: Taste tries to distance himself from Dr. Cole after the verbal lashing he receives from Rex; seeing himself as a failure. They keep prodding and he eventually opens up about what happened. He gets better.
  • False Friend: The victim of this. The first researcher to oversee him starts out nice (albeit snarky) and even inspires Taste to take up painting. He was just trying to coax information on Professor Funtime out of Taste; neither "Rex" nor his supervisor appreciate their charge. On the day of Taste's transfer, Rex is cruel to the poor guy and even states he was never his friend. "The Good Ending" reveals that not only is Taste in much kinder hands now, but the Ethics Committee is eventually notified and makes Rex apologize. He's Easily Forgiven.
  • Golden Ending: Non-video game example. The tale "The Good Ending" is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, taking Taste out of what's essentially an abusive containment and setting him up with someone that cares about him.
  • Hypocritical Heartwarming: Dr. Everwood admonishes Rex in the Ethics Committee document, expecting better of his second-in-command. Mind that he's the one that initially complained about containing 5057 and personally told Rex to drop the friendship act himself.
  • Internal Reveal: "The Good Ending" reveals that Rex's cruelty does not go unnoticed. Dr. Cole eventually notifies the Ethics Committee, who make him apologize.
  • Let's Meet the Meat: He insists he's edible, and asks people to eat him. He's made of plastic and covered in poison, so obliging him might not be the best idea.
  • Poisonous Person: His skin excretes ethylene glycol, the stuff that makes antifreeze taste sweet.
  • Sensitive Artist: Taste is one. Him trying to get people to eat him is merely a feature of his nature as a product. He actually seeks companionship and is absolutely devastated when Rex verbally degrades him prior to his transfer. Dr. Cole manages to get him out of his funk.
  • Shoddy Knockoff Product: A knockoff of Doctor Wondertainment's Little Misters created by Professor Funtastic. The research team for Doctor Wondertainment get annoyed when SCP-5057 is assigned to them, since he's not a real Wondertainment product.

SCP-6057 - Señor Boom

  • Ambiguous Situation: Boom implies that he was raised directly by Professor Funtastic, but it's left open how exactly Funtastic disappeared or what he's up to now.
  • An Aesop: Someone may struggle with anxiety, but it does not define them.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: Discussed. Boom almost blows himself up during an anxious episode. Dr. Li coaxes him into performing the breathing techniques he'd been taught. This works and his following request to walk outside is approved. Li attributes it to his dedication to improve himself. The article ends on a very hopeful note, the two agreeing that it's a very beautiful day outside.
  • Nervous Wreck: Boom is chronically anxious and requires constant therapy to keep his emotional state (and the explosive potential tied to it) in check.
  • Parental Abandonment: Boom's father (who may or may not be Professor Funtastic himself) disappeared at some point before Boom's choice to explore the outside world. Boom worries that he'll return and reprimand his son for getting taken away. Li sees it differently.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: Senor Boom is true to his name, capable of exploding at up to 14 Kilotons (IE: with the force of a nuke).
  • Properly Paranoid: Not Boom, but his father. According to Boom's backstory, his father became aware of his powers and isolated him from the world in fear that someone would take him away. Given he's in Foundation containment, Boom's father was on the money.
  • Wacky Sound Effect: When Senor Boom goes boom, the sound of the explosion is replaced with a cartoonish-mild "pop!". Confetti even rains down.

SCP-6067 - Señor Hole

  • Aborted Arc: 6067's containment procedures imply the Recyclone is sentient, yet no attempts are made to interview it, much less interact with it.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: In the Recyclone's commercial, the kids' response to their dad getting mad at them for throwing soda cans on the floor is to let a sentient murder-tornado swallow him and their whole house up.
  • Dramatically Missing the Point: In their correspondence, Funtastic doesn't seem to understand why Wondertainment hates the idea of a property-destroying uber-tornado and only responds to Wondertainment's disdain for the product with another proposal for funding. The conversation ends there.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Dr. Wondertainment finds the idea of 6067 as a toy "appalling" and distances himself from the product wholesale; threatening legal action if his name is linked in any way to the Recyclone.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: In its scrapped commercial script, The Recyclone is marketed as a living garbage chute. However, even during the commercial, it's clear that kids playing with it let the power go to their heads and what was supposed to be a shortcut through their chores results in them allowing the thing to swallow up their entire household, complete with dad inside.
  • Token Nonhuman: Out of all the Tiny Senors, the Recyclone is just a tornado. Unlike the Senors' other standout Senor Pig, the Recyclone doesn't appear to have been created in the likeness of (or from) a human.

SCP-6157 - Señor Fluff

  • An Aesop: Decon-Recon Switch. The article builds up to the idea that 6157 is trying to teach Everwood something, which the man himself debates openly. It later becomes clear that it's the entity that's curious and its attempts to forcibly assign a "meaning" (In this case, Aesop) to Christmas are why it's not getting the answers it wants. The Santa Everwood mistakes for an instance is the one that directly spells this out.
    Santa: Only an idiot would think something as personal as a holiday could have one specific meaning across all contexts.
  • Bait-and-Switch: The second time Everwood is sent to investigate a mall, his first instinct is to assume 6157 is the mall Santa and interrogate him. It's actually the mall Santa's attendant, who dissolves in front of the two. Santa himself is not amused and gets amnestics for his trouble.
  • Bittersweet Ending: More on the "sweet" end. While 6157 doesn't get a concrete answer to what Christmas means, he and Everwood eventually settle on the idea that it doesn't have to have one. Everwood gets the entity a gift before its final de-manifestation and the last lines in the article make clear that he plans to meet 6157 again next year.
  • Character Development: For both major parties.
    • Dr. Everwood is a Defrosting Ice King throughout, slowly treating 6157 with more respect per clone he talks to. His encounters with the entity make him realize how socially-starved he's been and the two end the article on fantastic terms, intent on meeting each other next year.
    • 6157 starts the article as an annoying pest interrogating people about Christmas and about what it's supposed to mean. Each iteration demonstrates more and more of a philosophical side, becoming clear that its search for the meaning of Christmas is it Desperately Seeking A Purpose In Life. Both it and Everwood come to realize they're overthinking the idea and end up friends be the time of 6157's last appearance.
  • Deliberately Bad Example: Minus the Transferable Memory gimmick, 6157 is essentially a culmination of almost every stereotype associated with Christmas media. His friendship with Everwood even plays out like an interaction out of a Hallmark movie, albeit with the roles reversed.
  • Depending on the Writer: In 5057's article, Dr Everwood dismissed the Funtastic line as sad shoddy knockoffs and gave 5057 zero respect, even telling his second-in-command to drop any niceties before its transfer. Here, Everwood becomes increasingly concerned for 6157 and eventually engages in a rapport with it, even stating that it's been the only thing to have given him any consideration in a while.
  • Expendable Clone: Fluff's clones melt into snow after each of their interactions with Everwood.
  • Foreshadowing: The first time 6157 dons a "mall Santa" persona, he bats a bunch of small "what ifs" to the meaning of Christmas, the last one being death. It isn't until later in the article that we learn about it's 12-day life-span.
    6157: Maybe the true meaning of Christmas is dying.
    Dr. Everwood: It's not.
    6157: Maybe it is for me.
  • Mayfly–December Friendship: By the end of the article, Everwood has entered into this with Fluff. Fluff can only survive for 12 days during the holiday season before perishing. However, he comes back every year.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: Fluff pops up repeatedly during the holidays, pestering people about the meaning of Christmas. It's all he does and while his clones are most definitely annoying, they aren't evil at all; just curious.
  • Running Gag: 6157's first few encounters with Dr. Everwood have him melt right onto the poor scientist at the end.
  • Talking Heads: The entire article is Dr. Everwood having conversations about the holidays with a bunch of snow-clones. The clones aren't hostile and nothing exciting really happens.
  • Transferable Memory: The last interaction with Everwood reveals that each instance of 6157 shares the memories of the previous one.
