SCP- 1000 — Bigfoot

SCP-1000 - Bigfoot

A still of a specimen from unverified amateur footage.

"we forgive you;
given choice for now, not forever;
let us back in"

SCP-1000 is a species of nocturnal, omnivorous apes with gray, brown, black, red, and occasionally white fur. They possess large eyes with good vision, a pronounced brow ridge, and a sagittal crest on the forehead similar to that of the gorilla, but present in both sexes. 1000 evolved alongside human beings, existing contemporaneously with proto-humans and humans in large numbers until 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, when an extinction event eliminated all but 1-5% of their population. This event was triggered by SCP-1000 contracting an anomalous "pseudo-disease" classified SCP-1000-f1. Any hominid that directly or indirectly observes any instance of 1000 has a minimum 2% chance of being instantly killed through anomalous means via permanent cessation of brain function. This percentage is cumulative, and the longer a human views a specimen, the higher the chance of instantaneous death increases. In actuality, everything documented in the species' file is a lie; the truth is far worse.

A list of their appearances can be found here.

---

• Abusive Precursors:
  • Their civilization. Played with, as it's made quite clear modern Bigfoots should not be blamed for what their ancestors did, not really.
  • Furthermore, it's implied their precursors, the Fae were this to them.
• Adaptational Abomination: The SCP-1000 article portrays the Bigfoot as morally flawed Abusive Precursors, but according to the SCP-6666 article, this was falsified to create a positive impression of the Bigfoot when, in reality, they are shadowy horrors who actively enjoy torturing human beings and do not seem to feel anything resembling remorse for their actions.
• Alien Space Bats: The divergence point between the main and SCP-2273's universe is the general public finding out SCP-1000 exist.
• Ambiguously Evil: Despite what you read below, it may not be true about them hating us. At least one instance that tried to communicate more or less claims to understand why its species was overthrown and humbly asks to "let us back in". Presumably it means as partners this time. It also states that it forgives our actions.
• Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: A rather unique take on the classic myth. They were once the dominant species on the planet and much more technologically advanced than we are even now (albeit with a different direction than us), until we massacred most of them and destroyed their technology, but not before using one of their devices against them to lower their intelligence to that of beasts. But they are starting to get it back.
• Brown Note Being: The false SCP-1000 document claims that they nearly went extinct because they were infected by a phenomenon that causes anything that sees them, including each other, to have a chance of dropping dead. This is actually just a cover-up to hide the truth about them.
• Cycle of Revenge: We hunted them to near extinction because they ate our bones as Viagra, now the scattered survivors hate us for understandable reasons.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Nocturnal? Check. Being called the Children of the Night? Check. Being the victims and being guilty of Fantastic Racism and no morally different from humans? Check.
• Evil Laugh: The Bigfoot are described in SCP-6666 as constantly producing "half-chattering inhuman laughter".
• Full-Circle Revolution: They overthrew and imprisoned their precursors, The Fae, before humanity (aka the Children of the Sun) overthrew them.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters: "Then their civilization fell. And we did it. By 'we' I don't mean the Foundation. By 'we', I mean humanity." Subverted though, because the Bigfoots weren't much better to humans.
• Human Resources: Remember, they were just like humanity is, meaning that they would exploit humans the same way we would exploit animals.
• Irony: Despite being the victims of an oppressive race, they would go on to treat the humans just as poorly. Even better, it's implied that the SCP-1000 race was defeated using the exact same organic weapons they used against the Fae.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: "We left no traces. Not even our own memory. We turned one of the ["yetis'"] weapons on ourselves, wiped out any knowledge of SCP-1000 and the greatest civilization the planet had ever seen."
• Laser-Guided Karma:
  • "They fenced off our dwindling wild populations in conservatories, outlawed poaching but in the underground consumed our bones as aphrodisiacs."
  • And in the last entry of SCP-2932's addendum
    Do you believe that the Children of the Sun were the first to overthrow those who came before them?.
  • This would also explain why SCP-1000 created the weapons that humanity used to overthrow them. They probably used them against the Fae, as in most likely The Fair Folk as spoke about in Dr. Bright's submission for SCP-001
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: The neglect and abandonment of the Children of the Night by the Fae over the span of millions of years caused them to turn on the Fae and wipe them out, even getting the goddess Titania on their side.
• Organic Technology: At the height of their civilization, SCP-1000 "made trees and birds of prey grow into fast-moving ships, herds of animals that became trains, bushes that became flying vehicles. From insects and pigeons they made things equivalent to cell phones, televisions, computers. Atomic bombs."
• Playing Both Sides: In the Alternate Universe that SCP-2273 comes from, the Bigfoots supply advanced technology to both Russia and America in the hopes that they'll wipe each other out.
• Turn the Other Cheek: In SCP-6001, the Children of the Night have recovered their intelligence and now coexist with humanity peacefully (and everyone else, really). They call themselves The Nightland Covenant and inhabit cities on feathery clouds that chase the night. In a vote on whether or not our Children of the Sun-dominated reality gets contacted and given the means of achieving a Utopia like the one they have, they vote for contact
  They kept us out. You let us in. We will not turn away from them.
• Vocal Dissonance: In SCP-6666. The huge, extraordinarily powerful Bigfoot have a laugh that's compared to a child's giggling, and constantly sing in high-pitched voices...while brutally torturing people.
• Weaksauce Weakness: The Bigfoot are described in SCP-6666 as having extraordinary strength (capable of tearing humans apart easily) and the ability to resist powerful magic. However, they can't swim and can thus be drowned (although, given that Noah is described as summoning a flood via magic, they may be specifically vulnerable to whatever magic Noah invoked). The fact that they communicate through the nightmares of others also entails the Logical Weakness that they are unable to communicate when no one nearby is asleep, and are thus caught off guard by the rising flood waters.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: All of them are this. After what we as a species did to them, is it any wonder that they hate us? At the same time, the inversion is also true. We are this to them. After what they did to us (consumed our bones as aphrodisiacs for starters), is it any wonder that we destroyed them?

SCP- 1048 — The Builder Bear

SCP-1048 - Builder Bear

A picture of SCP-1048.

SCP-1048, referred to by it's file as the Builder Bear, is a small teddy bear approximately 33 cm in height. The bear is capable of moving of its own accord, and can communicate through a small range of gestures. It regularly shows affection to individuals in ways found endearing by most people, usually through a hug to the lower leg, but it has also been observed dancing, jumping in place, and drawing child-like pictures for janitorial staff. 7 months after it was originally secured, it was found to have the ability to construct crude replicas of itself using various materials by a process that has yet to be observed directly by Foundation staff. There are currently 3 known creations of the bear, designated SCP-1048-A, SCP-1048-B, and SCP-1048-C. The nature of these creations has been in stark contrast to 1048's general behavior, all them exhibiting extreme violence towards humans.

---

• Alliterative Name: Its nickname, Builder Bear.
• Animalistic Abomination: Its so-called "family." See Killer Teddy Bear below for more information.
• Bears Are Bad News: Don't let its appearance fool you. The last thing you want is for this thing to find your soft spot. Its creations are highly dangerous and deserves to be classed as Keter.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: It managed to lull the Foundation into a false sense of security by acting cute and affectionate. Then it began to build its more malicious copies, usually from human body parts.
• Body Horror: It used a fetus to make a bear, for God's sake!
• Cute Is Evil: The teddy bears it makes can be made from anything. It decided to make them from human body parts.
• Deceptively Cute Critter: SCP-1048 is a living teddy bear that acts cute and endearing, gaining the trust of Foundation scientists and other personnel before revealing its true nature — its power is to make copies of itself from material such as human ears, aborted fetuses, and rusted metal scraps that are deadly to humans.
• Faux Affably Evil: It possesses a friendly, amicable personality but in truth is a manipulative sociopath who used its charms to make the Foundation drop its guard. Its creations, on the other hand make no attempt at being friendly.
• Kaiju: In SCP-5000, it creates an absolutely colossal teddy bear that starts destroying Paris.
• Killer Teddy Bear: SCP-1048 is a cute teddy bear who makes new teddy bears, from things like human ears (SCP-1048-A), an aborted baby (SCP-1048-B) and rusted metal scraps (SCP-1048-C). These creations have killed multiple human beings in horrible ways.
• Make Me Wanna Shout: One of SCP-1048's creations, SCP-1048-A (a teddy bear made out of human ears) gave off a high-pitched shriek that caused intense pain in the ears and eyes of everyone within 10 meters. All persons within five meters started growing ears all over their bodies and asphyxiated within three minutes due to ears growing inside their mouths and throats.
• Mook Maker: It makes other versions of itself using whatever it can find. There's three so far, SCP-1048-A (a bear composed entirely of ears), SCP-1048-B (see below) and SCP-1048-C (Which is composed of scrap metal).
• Sealed Evil in a Teddy Bear: SCP-1048 had always been malicious. It's just that it was playing nice early on to earn the trust of others.
• The Sociopath: It pretends to be a charming and adorable teddy bear to lull others into a false sense of security but in actual fact is extremely cruel and ruthless in its pursuit to create its copies, even willing to use an aborted fetus that it was heavily implied it took from its pregnant mother.
• Traumatic C-Section: One of its duplicates, (SCP-1048-B), was made from an 8 month old fetus.
• Would Hurt a Child: It used a fetus to make a bear.

SCP- 1057 — The Absence

SCP-1057 - Absence of Shark

An artistic depiction of SCP-1057 by TheMorbidMemories.

Panic means that the idea of a shark can be more dangerous than an actual shark.

It can even be more dangerous than no shark at all.

Are we cool yet?

SCP-1057 is a five-meter, animate empty space in the shape of an adult tiger shark. It does not appear to have any mass, but it displaces water by an unknown mechanism. 1057's refractive index is approximately that of air, which makes it partially visible when immersed in salt water. 1057's behavior has been assessed by Foundation ichthyologists as being within normal parameters for an adult tiger shark. Any food consumed by 1057 disappears, with the exception of the non-digestible fluorescent dyes regularly added to its food.

---

• Animalistic Abomination: It's a vacuum shaped like a shark, and it's very aggressive.
• Anomalous Art: It's a creation of a proponent of Are We Cool Yet?, meaning that it was intended as a work of art. Does't make it any less threatening though.
• Big Eater: A picture of it was taken with SCP-978, the Desire Camera, while it was eating food. The picture showed it wanting to eat a lot more food.
• Non-Malicious Monster: It's more dangerous than a normal tiger shark because it's impossible to see, but no more malevolent than one. SCP-978 shows it wanting to eat more food, just like any other shark.
• The Reveal: The end of the article reveals that this invisible monstrosity was created by Are We Cool Yet?
• The Shadow Knows: Bright lights in water are the only way of knowing where this thing is.
• Surreal Horror: An animate, empty space with no mass shaped like a shark that is capable of displacing water and is just as dangerous as an actual shark, if not more.
• Threatening Shark: Non-traditional example. It's empty space in the SHAPE of a shark, but it's just as dangerous.

SCP- 1233 — Moon Champion

SCP-1233 - The Lunatic

SCP-1233, circa 1986.

"I am the Moon's Champion. I am all Moons' Champion, and they are my companions. No Moon Monster is safe, while I soar the skies!"

SCP-1233, calling himself "Moon Champion", is a humanoid entity of unknown composition which visually resembles an individual wearing an EMU2-type spacesuit with an opaque visor and attached extravehicular propulsion jetpack, who claims to be dedicated in protecting the "Moon Kingdom" and innocents from the evil "Moon Monsters." His suit itself has shown durability far exceeding that of a standard spacesuit, and the material is also opaque to all attempted forms of penetrative scanning. Moon Champion's physical strength is correspondingly anomalous, as he has demonstrated the ability to lift and throw objects weighing up to 65,000 kilograms without showing any external signs of fatigue. Moon Champion is also capable of communicating through a loudspeaker installed in his suit, and does so in a loud, somewhat grandiloquent and declamatory male voice, demonstrating fluency in a number of languages and adjusting his speech to conform with whatever language is most commonly spoken by the surrounding populace. His statements are generally coherent in structure, but are frequently rambling, oblique, irrelevant to the present situation, or lacking discernible context. His behavior is erratic, unpredictable, gregarious, cordial, and somewhat destructive, and he doesn’t have the best understanding of Earth, with him collecting dogs as currency and attempting to exchange them at coffee shops being the least bizzarre thing he does.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Ambiguous Gender: While it speaks in a loud, male voice, its featureless visage and the Foundations intent on not gendering the anomalous objects still puts 1233's gender into question.
• Beyond the Impossible: SCP-1233's physical strength breaks multiple physical laws, such as being able to lift and throw cars without fatigue. SCP-1233's jetpack is, in theory, only supposed to work well in low gravity areas due to it being fueled by nitrogen, though its backpack can propel it to a maximum of 40,500 kilometers per hour.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: Played for laughs. SCP-1233 is so unaware and mistaken about how human culture operates that it comes across as a Cloud Cuckoo Lander. Examples include stacking cars on top of each other, ramming food into its visor in an attempt to eat, trying to talk to animals, and even collecting dogs to use as currency to buy more dogs.
• The Faceless: SCP-1233's face is obscured by its pitch-black visor.
• Gratuitous Animal Sidekick: In search of one, at least. In its conversation with Parsons, a bakery employee, it stated a desire to befriend a puppy, name her "Moon Pup", and take her on space adventures.
• Hero of Another Story: According to it, it is the Moon Champion, who came to Earth in an attempt to find able-bodied individuals to fight a war on its planet against the "Moon Monsters."
• Hero with an F in Good: Has so far been unable to recruit anybody in his fight against the "Moon Monsters."
• Jet Pack: SCP-1233 has one that propels it with nitrogen.
• Literal-Minded: When someone by the name of "Godsall" had sarcastically told SCP-1233 that he would go with him to space, it took this as a genuine offer and flew off with him.
• Living Currency: One of its odd behaviors was collecting dogs and attempting to use them as currency... to buy more dogs.
• Punny Name: Or title. It's both obsessed with the moon and, from our standards, at least, is completely and utterly insane in the most amusing fashion possible.
• There Was a Door: After its conversation with a bakery employee, it crashes through a concrete wall not 10 feet away from the entrance to the shop.

SCP- 1370 — Pesterbot

SCP-1370 - Pesterbot

Pesterbot threatening researchers from its case.

"Who dares. All souls will burn. You will feel the sharp sting of my wrath. Identify yourself so that I may sing damnation upon you as you die."

SCP-1370, given the name "Pesterbot" by the staff, is best described as an SCP that has "all bark and no bite." It’s a self-aware artificial being constructed from various electrical devices and tools, standing approximately one meter in height and is capable of moving its articulated joints despite the lack of any power source or motors. It communicates in a monotone voice via a speaker mounted in its chest, capable of reacting to visual and audible stimuli, and it can currently speak fluent English, French, and Latin. Pesterbot is invariably hostile in all interactions with any being or object it interprets to be sapient, attempting to engage any such object in combat. Despite its hammy verbal threats, numerous tests have been done each confirming that Pesterbot lacks the physical aptitude to cause damage to any living being and even inanimate objects.

---

• Absolute Xenophobe: Hates just about everything that is sapient, and some that are not. An offhand comment from the article implies that it tried attacking its own reflection, for crying out loud.
• Cool, but Inefficient: Looking cool was clearly more of a priority than functionality when it was built. Among other things, its center of gravity is poorly placed that it can barely walk or even balance upright.
• Doomy Dooms of Doom: "I am Doom-Master Thirteen Seventy Master Of All Doom."
• Epic Fail: Every single one of his attempts to engage anything in combat results in this. He managed to incapacitate himself while battling a potted plant. His Dance-Off against SCP-846 in "Challenge Accepted" has him fall over no less than 7 times.
• Evil Tower of Ominousness: His dream, as photographed by SCP-978, includes a clockwork tower reaching towards the full moon.
• Harmless Villain: If SCP-1370 had its way, it would destroy you and everything you hold dear. Too bad it's physically incapable of harming even a potted plant.
• I Have Many Names: It tends to use multiples names even within the same would-be Badass Boast. In the span of one tale, it calls itself the Crushmaster, Direfist the Bloodeater, Sparklord the Barbarian, the Kill-o-tron, Mechanobasher, Scourge of a Thousand Worlds, Doctor Von Vroom, Purveyor of Doom, the Supreme Stabbinator, and Deathkill the Destructionator.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Poor guy can't even defeat a plant.
• Killer Robot: That's what he'd like to be. Doesn't work out too well, though.
• Large Ham: "I am ShivaTron, Despoiler of Mirth." And lots more.
• Pathetically Weak: Once again: lost to a plant.
• Perpetual Smiler: Its face is an upside-down voltmeter, giving the impression of a permanent friendly smile.
• Plucky Comic Relief: Being hysterically funny while not having much in the way of creepiness, he is definitely this compared to the majority of SCPs. Probably best shown in SCP-5000, where the only method the Foundation can think of to make him useful is to let him on the public broadcast so that he can rant about his plans to conquer humanity... which was proclaimed to be not actually that bad.
• Sarcasm-Blind: Foundation personnel poking fun at it managed to convince it to add "Patheticon the Garglemost" and "Pesterbot" to the list of names it refers to itself as, so it's apparently unaware of the stupidity of said names.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Omnicidal, megalomaniacal... and entirely unable to actually carry out its threats.
• Sucks at Dancing: In "Challenge Accepted", he met SCP-846 "Robo-Dude" and challenged him to a Dance-Off. Thanks to his poor center of gravity and balance, Pesterbot was terrible at it, falling over no less than seven times.
• Try to Fit That on a Business Card: His self-appointed titles include, among others, "DoomBot 2000, RoboLord the Destructor, Prime Minister Sinister and Darth Claw Killflex."

SCP- 1440 — The Old Man from Nowhere

SCP-1440 - The Old Man From Nowhere

1440, as he was last seen.

Should you choose to challenge Death to a game of cards for your life, there is one thing you must never do. Win."

SCP-1440 is an old man of unknown ethnicity and age. Though his appearance is that of an octogenarian, he has not shown any signs of aging in the fifty years since he came to the Foundation’s attention. 1440's anomalous nature stems from the fact that he has an acute adverse effect on everything connected to humanity. Prolonged exposure of any man-made object or person to him will cause increasingly destructive events to occur in his vicinity, until the destruction or death of said human element. 1440 is aware of his effect on human populations, and will attempt to avoid coming into contact with them whenever possible. Despite these intentions, he is compelled to travel in what seems to be a highly complex pattern, which invariably leads it into contact with a population. He was revealed to have challenged Death to a game of cards for his life, which he won and thus gained immortality. Death and his brothers, enraged at their loss, have taken it upon themselves to make 1440's eternal life meaningless by bestowing his anomalous effect on him.

---

• Chess with Death: Well, Cards With Death, and won. He has since come to realize this was a terrible idea.
• Barred from the Afterlife: Winning a card game with Death only leaves him forever outcast on Earth.
• Death Seeker: Originally sought out the Foundation in hopes that they could successfully kill him.
• Enemies with Death: The old man was once a nameless soldier who died in a war, but his vanity made him challenge the Deaths, and won. He won the The Small Death, The Great Death, and the All-Death. He won their prizes, able to banish their forces. But when he used up their prizes, the Deaths began to extract their eternal revenge on him.
• I See Dead People: The old man can see the Deaths around him, destroying everything around him and making his eternal life a meaningless one.
• No Name Given: He refuses to deliver his. The Foundation suspects he might not know.
• The Nothing After Death: In Thrice, while victims of death by individual frailty and conflict are whisked away by the first two brothers, those who die by calamity are greeted only by silence as they pass on, with the third brother never bothering to appear, lest the old man attempt to capture him.
• The Problem with Fighting Death: By winning death, the old man had been cursed to live a meaningless life forever.
• Walking Disaster Area: He inadvertently causes mass-scale destruction where ever he goes. See also Walking Wasteland.
• Walking the Earth: In Thrice, it was shown that his eternal and erratic walk is a result of him being partially controlled by the Deaths.
• Walking Wasteland: A mix with Walking Disaster Area. SCP-1440's primary anomaly is that everything man-made around him is destroyed, so it's like a Walking Wasteland. But the way they get destroyed are seemingly mundane and can be attributed to unlikely but plausible events, so it's like a Walking Disaster Area.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: The old man has been cursed by the Deaths to live an eternal life after beating them at cards, forever watching Death extracting their revenge on everything around him.

SCP-1471-A — MalO

SCP-1471 - MalO ver1.0.0

Last image received by SCP-1471-9405 before being rendered inoperative

SCP-1471 is a free 9.8MB app for mobile devices named MalO ver1.0.0, which advertises itself as a "social substitute" for socially anxious and awkward people, but has no listed developer and is somehow able to bypass the approval process to go directly to distribution. When 1471 is installed, it will begin to send the owner of its device images through text messaging every 3-6 hours. All images will contain SCP-1471-A, a large humanoid figure with a canid-like skull and black hair identified as MalO, either in the background or foreground. Individuals with >90 hours of exposure to these continuous images will begin to briefly visualize MalO within their peripheral vision, reflective surfaces, or a combination of the two. Continued exposure after this point will cause irreversible and sustained visualizations of MalO. Individuals at this stage have reported periodic attempts made by MalO to visually communicate with them, but fail to understand or comprehend these actions.

---

• Dark Is Not Evil: The... creature it produces is scary, but does not express any hostility toward any of the people who purchase it. The problem is that it won't leave you alone.
• Deadpan Snarker: An SCP-1471-A instance named Merle who appears in multiple tales was taught sign language by their owner, Dr. Dietrich, and uses it to be sarcastic. Or rude.
• Harmless Villain: To date, no instance of SCP-1471-A has ever attacked those it was used to test on.^note Unless repeatedly put through SCP-914. The researcher who tried that, even as the 1471-A instances grew increasingly disconcerted, ended up stuck in the phone.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: Invoked, as the app it embodies is meant to alleviate loneliness.
• Imaginary Friend: The app's description claims that it was made for companionship, and using it for long enough will stick you with SCP-1471-A showing up everywhere in peripheral vision and reflective objects for the user. SCP-1471-A is not stated to appear to anyone other than its designated individual. However, how well it actually works as one depends on the user; the tale linked in the article tells of one user that got accustomed to 1471-A as a companion, while a second user was Driven to Suicide from the thing stalking them everywhere.
• Mirror Monster: Once it's been used for 90 hours, SCP-1471-A will begin to manifest in reflective objects.
• Nightmare Face: SCP-1471-A has one. Like a dog's skull with blank white eyes.
• Non-Malicious Monster: Although its appearance can cause significant psychological distress and has driven at least one person to suicide, it doesn't seem to want to cause any harm. The app's description implies that it exists to keep people from feeling lonely.
• Not-So-Imaginary Friend: They are capable of affecting things in reality, as demonstrated in some tales and testing logs.
• Skull for a Head: It looks like a shaggy humanoid with a canine skull for a face. The image that inspired it is actually a picture of a furry wearing a "skullsuit."
• Stalker without a Crush: SCP-1471 starts by sending its user pictures of their vicinity with SCP-1471-A near them, getting closer to them over time. Using it for too long results in the user seeing SCP-1471-A everywhere in real life, and it won't go away.
• The Unintelligible: Nothing SCP-1471-A tries to do to communicate can be understood by the app's user, as it can't make any sound and only makes gestures. The only known method of communicating with it is to teach it sign language, which reveals it to be a Deadpan Snarker.

SCP- 1845 — The Animal Kingdom

SCP-1845 - Animal Kingdom

SCP-1845 is a colony of animals which are physiologically indistinct from normal animals of their species. However, the animals have been found to possess near-human intelligence, the ability to construct simple tools from objects in their habitat, and a system of government modeled on medieval European feudalism. A 3-year-old male American red fox labeled SCP-1845-1 has been observed to be the leader of the colony. Though unable to speak, 1845-1 has demonstrated an ability to read, and understand when spoken to it, modern and archaic dialects of English, French, and Latin, and is able to communicate with Foundation agents by means of an installed keyboard. 1845-1 considers itself to be of royal heritage and identifies itself and its followers as extremely pious Roman Catholics. 1845-1 has demonstrated a broad body of knowledge relating to medieval European feudalism, Roman Catholic theology, ancient Greek and Roman history and mythology, and the works of Homer, Aristotle, Chaucer, Mallory, Bodin, Shakespeare, and Cervantes. Direct communication with the remainder of the animals, which 1845-1 has deemed its knights and serfs, has yet to be achieved. The only animal other than 1845-1 that has been observed to understand written language is a raccoon serf which has been observed using a quill pen and ink to take dictation from 1845-1.

---

• Animal Talk: Although certain members of the community know how to read and write several languages. SCP-1845-1 primarily communicates to the Foundation via typewriter.
• Arch-Nemesis: SCP-1845-1 and Duke Baxter of the West Bay. (A black-tailed deer.) The very reason SCP-1845 was ever found in the first place was because the Duke started a Civil War in the community. According to SCP-1845-1, the Duke's misdeeds include "having accused them falsely of witchcraft, assassinated our Queen Consort, and kidnapped the Prince of █████ █████ and our other royal issue." The Duke is still at large, or at least the Foundation Never Found the Body. SCP-1845-1 also commented that Duke Baxter is "a most uncouth usurper, rogue, and Protestant."
• Banned in China: In-Universe. The most often request SCP-1845-1 makes is literature. Only about half of the books are approved. For example, SCP-1845-1 requested the entire works of William Shakespeare. The Foundation approved this, but omitted all the plays that featured regicide. Other denied requests include: The Aeneid, The Prince, The Man in the Iron Mask, and The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care.
• Gratuitous Latin: Latin is their preferred written language. For communication between the Foundation, Middle French is used.
• Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Downplayed. Three instances did SCP-1845-1 ever request clothing for any member of his community: A priest’s robes for a deer (denied), a jeweled crown (denied), and costumes for a live reenactment of the Nativity scene. (Granted.)
• Literal Metaphor: A small kingdom of animals.
• Must Have Caffeine: SCP-1845-1 has made three subsequent requests for some form of coffee. Fresh and dried coffee beans were denied but the coffee-flavored ice cream was granted.
• Red Baron: The nobles of 1845 are dubbed elaborate titles, such as "Duke of the Elm," "Countess of the █████████ Trail" or "Knight of the Thistle."
• Try to Fit That on a Business Card: SCP-1845-1's FULL title is "His Royal Highness, Eugenio the Second, by the Grace of God, King of the Forest, Lord of the Plains, Duke of the Grand Fir and the Undergrowth, Count of the Swamp, Margrave of ██ ███████, Warden of All the Streams and Rivers, and Lord Protector of the Cities of Man, Defender of the Faith."
• We Can Rule Together: SCP-1845-1 holds a great amount of respect for O5-█, referring him as "His most serene and glorious Holy Roman Emperor." and expressing the desire for an alliance. Attempts to form this alliance comes in the form of SCP-1845-1’s many, many requests. In chronological order:
  • An audience with O5-█. Denied.
  • A political marriage to his daughter. Denied. Directly afterward: The addition to the habitat of a female fox, "of marriageable age, noble blood, and chastity true." Approval pending (meaning that the Foundation has no way of finding a fox that even meets those qualifications).
  • Permission to send a letter to O5-█, which offered a promise of vassalage and tribute in the form of wool, freshly-picked fruits and berries, and woodcrafts in exchange for release from captivity and military assistance in reclaiming its lands from Duke Baxter. Granted; O5-█ has chosen to take no action on the letter.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: On the Foundation’s shoulders. SCP-1845-1 has made a very long list of requests, with varying degrees of success. This includes wanting to get a member of his community officially ordained as a Roman Catholic Priest and SCP-1845-1 personally attending the next Papal conclave as a voting member. Both were denied.

SCP- 1867 — Lord Theodore Thomas Blackwood

SCP-1867 - A Gentleman

Lord Blackwood in containment.

"Nonsense! I would never fabricate any of my work. Why, it's against the very heart of being a naturalist! While I am repeatedly amazed by your institution here, you seem to be missing the explorer's spirit."

SCP-1867 is a sea slug which is sapient and capable of telepathic communication with the same range as a typical human voice. It identifies itself as "Lord Theodore Thomas Blackwood, CBE, 7th Viscount of Westminister", a British explorer and naturalist, and speaks with terminology and style appropriate to late nineteenth century England. Lord Blackwood is friendly and cooperative with Foundation personnel, and makes repeated claims of his past exploits and accomplishments, including his service in the Second Opium War, expeditions to remote regions of the world, and encounters with various rare creatures and uncontacted peoples. Despite the questionable validity of his claims, Blackwood has shown in-depth knowledge of geography, zoology, botany, archaeology, anthropology and linguistics relating to its claimed regions of exploration, as well as more esoteric fields such as obscure mythology, mysticism, and cryptozoology. He either does not seem to realize or willfully ignores any mention of his being a sea slug, as well as any inconsistencies in his own recollections. Investigations by the Foundation have shown that there is substantial evidence to back up Blackwood's claim of being an explorer.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Accidental Proposal: During a visit to a land of the Fae, the lord accepted an offer of a drink from a sidhe unaware of the societal connotations. Blackwood escaped unbetrothed with the lesson that "the sidhe do not look kindly upon broken engagements."
• Against My Religion: Some of Blackwood's morals derive from his Christian upbringing.
• Ambiguous Situation: He is apparently a man who was turned into a sea slug. Or maybe a slug who believes he is a man.
• Been There, Shaped History: Blackwood has recounted meetings with many historical figures, from being in attendance to the coronation of Elizabeth I to lending Child Prodigy Albert Einstein fare for a taxi. Theodore Roosevelt also owed him his life.
• Cool Old Guy: As cool and old as a sea slug can be. Blackwood's latest memories date to circa 1910, roughly eighty years after his earliest adventures in the 1830s.
• Cool Sword: Blackwood considers a machete an invaluable tool for expeditions. Has also claimed to have had Excalibur in his possession on two separate occasions, but "the Lady of the Lake is a surprisingly adept card-shark."
• Cool Uncle: Claims to be the godfather of an arguably as cool godson, Winston Churchill.
• Covered with Scars: Describes his human body as having years-worth of scars all over his arms and torso, "every one of them proudly earned in battle or in exploration."
• Cultured Badass: It's well established that he does have the knowledge to back himself up as an accomplished scholar, being an expert in several subjects and even being able to recite whole books from the Bible from memory. Also, despite how exaggerated his claims seem, he really would need to be a badass to know as much as he does about anomalies and live to tell the tale. In ''Lord Blackwood in the Land of the Unclean'' , he ventures into the world described in SCP-093, and among other things, kills an Unclean, previously thought to be unkillable. The weapon the Foundation finds decades later is very much confirmed to be Lord Blackwood's invention, too.
• Deadpan Snarker: Despite mostly having the personality of a grandfatherly Brit, he can still snark in his scholarly tone.
  Good heavens, boy, have you been drinking? That's utterly ridiculous.
• Demon Slaying: Once held in his possession the Improved Anti-Daemon Revolver Mark V, a gun made by Samuel Colt himself, but for Christmas gifted the weapon to his younger brother, the Reverend Clifford Blackwood.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: He was one of two survivors in the Great Tarasque Hunt of '83, wherein he had tricked SCP-682 into a spike trap and shot five rounds into SCP-076-2's head, both within a twenty-four hour period.
• "Freaky Friday" Flip: SCP-3790-J implies that his being a sea slug is the result of a body switch, as one of the exhibits found in it appears to be his deceased original body.
• The Gambler: Has waged a few bets — notably with The Lady of the Lake and Herman Fuller — to varied success.
• Gentleman Adventurer: Claims to be one anyway. The fact that the Foundation has reliably tracked down anomalies based on his accounts seems to imply that he's right.
• The Giant: Meeting US President Abraham Lincoln in the middle of the Civil War, Blackwood found they were both the same height of six foot four.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: According to his retelling of his visit to the Circus of the Disquieting, he bullseyed a target being juggled by trapeze artists in the peripheral of his vision, Firing One-Handed with a rifle he was loaned, all on the first shot.
• Intellectual Animal: Possibly. Sort of. Physically, Lord Blackwood appears to be a perfectly ordinary sea slug. He seems oblivious to this fact.
• Just Before the End: If his accounts are to be believed, Lord Blackwood found SCP-093 and used it roughly a century before the Foundation discovered it. However, since he ventured through the mirror in the 19th century, the advanced civilization that inhabited the world beyond it was very much still thriving. The Unclean that eventually overrun it, however, are already a very real threat. Naturally, Lord Blackwood's reaction to learning of them is to try and kill one.
• Manly Facial Hair: He's not fond of the idea of growing a beard, as his finely-kept mustache should suffice.
• Married to the Job: His constant travels have kept him from being tied down in England by his marriage to Countess Francessa, but he has lamented on not having raised a family (once mentioning the lack of involvement he had in the life of his godson, "Willie".)
• The Münchausen: He's always telling personnel of his escapades, one even called him out on it.
  You do realize that you're a sea slug, right?
• Oblivious Transformation: He is unable to perceive the fact that he is a sea slug even though he lives in a fish tank and can only communicate with telepathy.
• Older Than He Looks: Sea slugs live for about a year at most, but SCP-1867 was born in the early 19th century. Also given what Mr. Deeds has said about working for Lord Blackwood, the viscount had seldom aged in his forty years of service under him.
• Ominous Message from the Future: Possibly sent one to himself, but the message was brushed off a prank from his older brother Stephen.
• One-Steve Limit: Downplayed (albeit not Discussed) in the Great Tarasque Hunt of '83, wherein Theodore Blackwood met Theodore Roosevelt.
• Politically Incorrect Hero: Zigzagged, as Blackwood held many conceptions commonly held by 19th century Englanders, but he sometimes had opinions about others that were unorthodox for the time.
  • In SCP-001 "Amoni-Ram", he's surprised that the interviewing doctor is female, calling her "the gentler sex". At the same time, however, he's happy to see a woman in such a position, showing that he's ahead of his time.
  • While he would also describe some odd characters as "Bohemians", he meant it in the broader sense of a non-conformist and not as a slur for Romanians. However he, like his family, would say "Mongoloid" in reference to descendants of Genghis Khan.
  • When informed that a man of African descent was elected as president in the States, SCP-1867 incredulously looked for clarification that it was a South African.
  • He advises that should you choose guides for an expedition, you should go for ones who are Christian. Justifies this as he says he was once betrayed by a Punjabi guide who turned out to be a member of the Thuggee.
• Situational Sexuality: While he has shown interest in the occasional woman, Blackwood once faced some self-questioning when he met Franz Liszt in 1841.
  Had I been born a lady, I think I might have proposed marriage to him - but common sense prevailed, and I beat a hasty retreat before embarrassing myself.
• Strong Family Resemblance: Subverted. Blackwood claims to look different from his siblings as a human. Because he had blue eyes and was left-handed, his brown-eyed brothers and sister would tease him saying he was either a bastard or a Mongol.
• Successful Sibling Syndrome: Defied Trope. Theodore reserves speaking about his family as he wants recognition for his own achievements instead of riding upon the coattails of the Blackwood name.
• Telepathy: Lord Blackwood is a sea slug that can communicate telepathically with anyone within 5 meters of it.
• Unreliable Narrator: Lord Blackwood thinks he's a British gentleman adventurer. He does exaggerate his tales, but there's considerable evidence that they aren't entirely delusional.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: If the accounts are correct, Lord Blackwood may have just been the one that inspired SCP-319's maker to try and travel to another universe, and given him the means to attempt it. A short read of that particular file lets us know that attempt essentially doomed this universe.

SCP- 1959 — The Lost Cosmonaut

SCP-1959 - The Lost Cosmonaut

Photograph of SCP-1959 taken at ██/██/2010

"I am a forgotten, lost human, whose efforts will be remembered by no one. That truth reminds me when I am at my most lucid."

SCP-1959 is an entity appearing as an unmarked white space suit similar in make to the Soviet SK-1 model. The suit itself appears to be indestructible, and the helmet's visor is badly damaged and misted over, preventing any observation of its interior. 1959 appears to continuously orbit around the Earth at a reasonably constant speed, its position varying between Low to High Earth Orbit at any given moment. 1959 will ram through any obstacle it encounters, causing grave structural damage. While the entity is capable of independent movement, it remains motionless most of the time. On the occasions that it moves, its body language shows signs of extreme distress and it will sometimes make attempts to break its visor. The entity's suit-like apperance contains a hapless Cosmonaut, which has been battling the suit for forty years and is the only thing keeping it at bay, as the suit crashing to Earth would spell doom for the planet.

---

• And I Must Scream: In I Wish To Be An Asteroid, Burning To Nothing (an alternate view on SCP-1959), there is no Eldritch Abomination. Rather, all there is is just him orbiting endlessly around earth, conscious, unable to live, unable to die. The Cosmonaut does have a hope in that he knows the Foregone Conclusion of our Sun is that it will expand into a red giant and engulf him (after billions of years).
• Badass Normal: This regular human has been battling against an Eldritch Abomination and the laws of physics for almost half a century to keep the Earth safe.
• Demonic Possession: Ground Control reveals that he's been possessed by an Eldritch Abomination that wants to destroy the earth and he's been fighting from the inside all this time.
• Dramatic Space Drifting: He's just floating around up in space. Occasionally he'll flail around and bang his helmet but then just stop.
• Driven to Suicide: Occasionally, he tries to shatter his visor.
• Heroic Willpower: How he keeps the entity in check. He's been doing this for forty years.
• Historical In-Joke: According to the black-boxed names at the end of the article, he seems to be either Aleksei Ledovsky, Andrei Mitkov or Sergei Shiborin, legendary "lost Cosmonauts" rumoured to have been killed in experimental Soviet space flight experiments.
• The '70s: He's been floating around since then.
• Taking You with Me: If the short story is to be believed, then the entity inside him will die with him if he succeeds.

Series III

SCP- 2006 — Too Spooky

SCP-2006 - Too Spooky

A screenshot of Ro-Man from "Robot Monster."

"I scare people because it's fun. And, you know, it's what I do. Just like you do doctor-y stuff; I do scary stuff. I'm the best at it! I don't really see what else there is about it."

SCP-2006 is a shapeshifting anomalous entity who wants to strike as much fear into humanity as possible, and takes the form of various movie monsters and villains from the movies it has watched...said movies being low-quality horror and science fiction films that are filled to the brim with Nightmare Retardant. 2006 will Jump Scare those come in contact with it but will be friendly and somewhat cooperative the moment it stops "scaring."

---

• Affably Evil: It will attempt to scare the bejeezus out of anyone it comes into contact with, but is otherwise actually pretty friendly and cooperative after it's done scaring.
• B-Movie: Part of its containment procedures require that SCP-2006 be shown extremely low-quality B-Movies to keep it under the impression that the less than scary content affiliated with them are the pinnacle of nightmare inducing terror.
• Beware the Silly Ones:
  • A lot of personnel find SCP-2006 to be utterly hilarious and non-threatening (the fact that it is seemingly cooperative helps). But it should be reminded that it is a Keter-class object for a reason, described under Not-So-Harmless Villain below. Also doubles as Beware the Nice Ones, considering how friendly it acts towards the researchers.
  • This story, written by the same author, suggests that SCP-2006 is not only fully aware of what actually frightens the Foundation, it's not even phased by its containment and just humoring them by sticking around.
• Failed Attempt at Scaring: Its attempts to scare are deliberately made to be Nightmare Retardent, to the point that it has received some mocking from personnel. A Site Director had to provide a reminder that it's only this because the Foundation has kept it that way, and how dangerous it could be if it ever realized that it wasn't scary and made a concerted effort to figure out what really does scare people.
• For the Evulz: It pretty much scares people for the fun of it.
• Harmless Villain: Considering it assumes the forms of creatures like Ro-Man, SCP-2006 is not really all that scary or harmful beyond cheap jump scares. It also often fails to recognize a lot of what really scares people and misses subtle emotional cues. Nevertheless, the personnel are to convince it that it is indeed scary. But...
• Implacable Man: As the Foundation currently understands 2006, there's no known way to damage it. Combined with its desire to scare people and the off-chance it might find out what really scares people...
• Jump Scare: How it typically greets personnel.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: 2006 is also a Keter-level SCP. As the note from the Site 118 Director points out, it wants to scare and, considering it can shapeshift into seemingly anything and can't be stopped, very bad things will happen if it should ever find out what people are really afraid of.
• Physical God: According to SCP-4606 "Deimos," another immortal shapeshifting entity with fear-based powers, SCP-2006 is his twin brother Phobos.
• Sarcasm-Blind: In a sense. It doesn't seem to grasp that the B movies it watches are actually pure schlock, but containment procedures instruct that anyone who comes in contact with it must take acting lessons first, so that they can convincingly pretend to be genuinely frightened by its antics.
• Shapeshifter: Its true form is a spherical entity, but it has the ability to alter its entire being in any way possible to achieve its goal of scaring people.

SCP- 2085 — The Black Rabbit Company

SCP-2085 - The Black Rabbit Company

Researcher ████: Mm. We're getting off topic, I think. You were about to tell me about the aim of your organization?

SCP-2085-A-1: Escape. Until then, direct action towards the destruction of fascism and the dismantling of the capitalist and colonial structures that support it. Everything else is commentary.

SCP-2085 is a militant anarchist organization consisting of six cybernetically-enhanced individuals operating under the name Kuroi Usagi Shidan, or the "Black Rabbit Company." Five of them are Cat Girls, designated SCP-2085-A-1 through -5, and one of them is a heavily scarred and in-poor health adult male designated SCP-2085-B, who is carrying a parasitic entity called SCP-2085-1. All of them escaped from a laboratory long ago and killed their captors and have dedicated their efforts to "direct action towards the destruction of fascism and the dismantling of the capitalist and colonial structures that support it." Naturally, this puts them at odds with the Foundation, whom they view as just another group of fascists out to tyrannize the world, though for the moment they remain (relatively) cooperative, at the behest of 2085-B.

A list of their appearances can be found here.

---

• Cat Girl: Five of the six members of SCP-2085 are humans who have undergone genetic and cybernetic enhancements to turn them into cyborg cat girls.
• Cool People Rebel Against Authority: The Black Rabbit Company vehemently oppose the SCP Foundation, calling them "bootlickers" and generally being uncooperative in interviews, and them being cyborg cat girls being led by a self-proclaimed "Space Wizard" makes them pretty cool, especially considering the awesome anti-authoritarian hijinks they got into across the globe before the Foundation took them into custody. However, this is Deconstructed in regards to how their rebellious, anarchistic personalities makes them pretty grating to interact with—not to mention a quite telling indicator of just how little they understand the Foundation's goals and interests. Thankfully, 2085-B (the "Space Wizard") is apparently more world-savvy, and thus is more willing to cooperate with Foundation staff and is even seeking their help with his parasite problem.
• Cyborg: All of them have cybernetic implants, the cat girls unwillingly, And the guy with them willingly just to fight off the thing within him.
• Decoy Protagonist: While the Cat Girls are important, it's actually SCP-2085 and 2085-1 that are the real reason for containment.
• Escaped from the Lab: The Cat Girls that make up most of SCP-2085 were originally created in a laboratory. They managed to kill their creators and escape from it.
• Mood Whiplash: It's an SCP about cybernetic Cat Girls, until you learn about the guy they're with and the thing that's eating him from the inside.
• Secret Project Refugee Family: After they Escaped from the Lab, the Cat Girls that make up most of SCP-2085 decided to stick together and form a mercenary group called The Black Rabbit Company.

SCP-2191- 3 — Klavigar Lovataar

See Characters.SCP Foundation Groups, under Sarkicism.

SCP- 2273 — Major Alexei Belitrov

SCP-2273 - Major Alexei Belitrov, of the Red Army's 22nd Armored Infantry Division

Major Alexei Belitrov is a soldier from an alternate version of Soviet Russia who is bonded with a suit of insect-like living armor, SCP-2273-2. Putting a war he can't return to behind him, Belitrov lives a new live in an Unmasqued World, eventually turning to religion and gaining the title of Father Anvil.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Alternate Universe: SCP-2273 is a soldier from another universe where the U.S. and U.S.S.R. got into a nuclear war.
• Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: SCP-1000 is more numerous in his universe and supplies technology to both sides of the war, hoping they'll wipe each other out.
• Bio-Armor: SCP-2273-2 is this. Apparently in the universe SCP-2273 is from, instances of SCP-1000 have become known as engineers and are responsible for growing and creating weapons for Americans and Russians alike. SCP-2273-2 is such a weapon.
• Eagleland: The America from his universe is implied to be a version of "Type 2" that far surpasses any depiction of the country in our own media. To be fair, the only information about Belitrov's version of America is from Belitrov himself, who is a dedicated Soviet Russian citizen and therefore possibly biased towards his motherland, which was in the middle of a bitter war with the U.S., but the fact that the American soldiers that Belitrov's squad surrendered to cold-bloodedly murdered his comrades paints a grim picture of the U.S.A. from his timeline.
• Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions: Atheism is Russia's official religion in his universe but 2273 finds solace in a Christian/Mekhanic church in the Broken Masquerade setting.
• Soviet Super Science: Is a Russian Super-Soldier.
• Surrender Backfire: While on a mission inside American territory, SCP-2273 ordered its fellow troops to surrender to the Americans so they could become POWs and not have to fight any more. Instead, the Americans cold-bloodedly murdered the surrendering soldiers but kept SCP-2273 alive for some reason.

SCP- 2316 — The Mysterious Voice

SCP-2316 - Field Trip

Though SCP-2316 itself is not a character, tied to it is an unknown being speaking to the reader throughout the article. As they are a Terse Talker that the Foundation is either unaware of or downplaying, the closest thing theu have to a name is also SCP-2316. While SCP-4833 reveals that they are not a creation of Syncope Symphony despite expectations, the voice has since taken up their cause for revenge against the Foundation regardless. They reappear in SCP-7676 as the main Deuteragonist.

For more information on them, see Characters.SCP Foundation Groups, under Syncope Symphony and the Class of '76.

SCP-2317-K — The Devourer of Worlds

SCP-2317 - A DOOR TO ANOTHER WORLD

Artistic representation of SCP-2317-K by Zhange

SCP-2317-K is a massive demonic entity which is trapped in a prison in another dimension and bound in seven chains made from the bones of a similar demon, six of which are already broken. It may or may not be the same entity as the Scarlet King, or possibly is an aspect of such. The original version of the SCP-2317 document implied that it is actually not related to the Scarlet King, but in 2018 it was rewritten and now it is implied that it is.

---

• Another Dimension: It is a door to one.
• Anti-Frustration Features: Information omitted from lower security levels is written in blue in the level that it becomes visible, so a reader viewing the document going by increasing security level can easily skip paragraphs that contain redundant information. The exception is the version with O5-level security, which is completely different from any version with less security clearance.
• Big Red Devil: May or may not be red (Clef said it can be the Scarlet King if the reader wishes to think so), but the Devourer does have the big part, being at least 200 kilometers tall, and it's also got horns resembling tree branches. Though some accounts think his size might be a deterrent...
• Eldritch Abomination: It contains one. A 200 kilometer tall humanoid entity designated SCP-2317-K, implied to be the Scarlet King himself from SCP-231. The last part you just read is a lie perpetrated by the Foundation. SCP-2317-K is actually named "The ████, Devourer of Worlds" (name redacted intentionally).
• Empty Promise: Its entire containment procedure is this. In actuality, this is all a ruse; there is no known possible method to prevent it from destroying the entire world once it escapes, which is estimated to happen within roughly 30 years. The suggested method to "handle" 2317 is implemented only to prevent widespread panic within the organization.
• Facial Horror: SCP-2317-K is specified to not have a lower jaw.
• Fat Bastard: SCP-2317-K is explicitly described as an obese humanoid-ish entity.
• Human Resources: More like eldritch resources; the chains that hold the Devourer in place were made using the bones and sinew of another Devourer entity. How it was done and the materials themselves have both been lost to time, meaning it's impossible for the Foundation to fix or replace the chains.
• Lost Technology: With a touch of Bamboo Technology. SCP-2317-K was originally sealed in 1894 BCE with parts made from a similar being. Both the methods and the materials are lost to time. The Foundation also has no idea how the 19th-century makers of the door made it work.
• Meaningful Name:
  • Its SCP designation at least. SCP-231-7 and SCP-2317 have many similarities with each other: both are protected by seven seals, six of which have been broken (and both of which are likely to break in the near future.) and will both destroy the world if let loose. Both were even created by the same writer. This trope was invoked by the O5 council. It actually has nothing to do with 231, though events related to the breaking of the chains escalated in a similar manner. It's much, much worse.
  DrClef (its author): It's pretty much an inversion of 231. I left in a lot of the same elements, such as the seven seals, references to a Scarlet King, the idea of a terrible horror that cannot be released, the idea of bad things happening each time a seal is broken, etc.
  However, I'm coming at the horror from a different angle. The original SCP-231 was based on elision and redaction, and was purposely left vague in order to try to get the reader to craft their own ideas regarding its central containment procedure. 2317, on the other hand, is based on revelation. Ominous references are made to its central containment procedure… which, in the end, turns out to basically be walking in a circle, saying a few words, and scattering some holy water and chicken blood… except that the real problem, as revealed in Iteration Six, is that the procedure does nothing.
  In my mind, if SCP-231 and 2317 exist in the same universe, they are unrelated. But people wanted to draw the connection, so I've opened it up if they want to make the links. In my mind, the similarities are because "seven seals" is a traditional way to bind an eldritch entity, and the seals have been wearing off over time and more than one set of seals is down to their last remaining one.
  • The same goes for the name of the devil: Apollyon, the Greek name for Abaddon the Destroyer. I Lied. That's its Object Class. The beast itself is treated as Speak of the Devil (whether saying its true name can summon it or not is unknown), its name intentionally lost to the ages by both the ancient civilization that sealed it and the Foundation themselves.
  • By a Retcon applied in 2018, instead of Object Class: Apollyon, it's "Special Access Designation: CODE NIGHTMARE REGENT RED", the last words being synonyms with the Scarlet King from 231-7, furthering the connection.
• Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Anything called the Devourer of Worlds is this.
• Offerings to the Gods: Procedure 220-Calabassas requires this be made to SCP-2317-K in the form of a blood sacrifice. Thankfully, the blood of a single chicken in a fairly simple ritual is all that's required...or not, as the entire procedure is a ruse.
• Omnicidal Maniac: Reasonable assumption for SCP-2317-K, given the text explicits it being free results in an XK-Class End of the World Scenario.
• The Password Is Always "Swordfish":
  • Played straight with the lowest security level, according to the access logs for this SCP — Jonathan Vance's password is "password9910" — but higher security levels avert this increasingly.
  • Dr. Crow's password is a short sentence with inconsistent letter repetition. He gets it wrong twice while trying to access the file, almost getting security called on him by accident.
  • Attempting to access the file with O5-level permissions requires two passwords; the first is a series of random phonetic alphabet letters with random capitalization, number replacement, and the word "CASpER", which isn't a phonetic alphabet letter. The second is a semi-lengthy keyphrase, with inconsistent capitalization and punctuation marks near the end.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: As noted above, it's a giant demon trapped in a massive underground cavern in a pocket dimension behind a door, with seven colossal hooks with chains embedded into its back. Six of them have already been broken. The seventh is expected to break sometime in the next 30 to 100 hundred years and the Foundation has no way of repairing them.

SCP- 2337 — Dr. Spanko

SCP-2337 - Dr. Spanko

A still image of SCP-2337.

"Cack! Am christened Herr Doktor Spankoflex. Am colloquially namesplapped with Essy-Pee toothreethree and Steven, am complicate across the state."

"Dr. Spanko" is a sapient male corn crake who is capable of speaking. Spanko's voice is terrifically loud (at a minimum observed volume of 90 dB^*about as loud as a leaf blower and can go much higher) and his speech is unintelligible to the point that its mostly gibberish, as he speaks in a very strange dialect of English that sound like word salad. These eccentricities aside, Spanko is generally friendly and cooperative with the Foundation despite being classified as a Euclid.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Been There, Shaped History: According to SCP-4444, Dr. Spanko is responsible for destroying the swing votes in Florida that would've granted Al Gore the Presidency in 2000.
• Berserk Button: Whatever the scientist interviewing Dr. Spanko in his file ended up saying when he tried to copy his bizarre speech patterns offended the good doctor so badly that he tried to peck his eyes out. Notably, this is the only time Dr. Spanko ever showed aggressive behavior.
• Bizarre Taste in Food: Dr. Spanko's taste in drinks is as strange as his speech. His favorite drink is "Moose Juice", a combination of tomato juice, horseradish sauce, Sunny Delight and melted M&Ms. And he can get mildly drunk off of it, despite none of the ingredients being alcoholic.
• Character Blog: Ask Dr. Spanko.
• Character Catchphrase: "And how!", which he says when he's happy or agrees with something.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Thanks to his only tangential relationship to the English language, virtually everything he says is absurd nonsense. It's also made clear that even when reading in-between the lines, he's pretty "kooky."
• Does Not Like Spam: When someone asks him where to find a decent coffee machine, he responds that he doesn't like coffee beans (or "shiny brown pygmy lemons") because they're "too much crunchy for bitter batter."
• Either "World Domination", or Something About Bananas: In Spanko-speak, "mashed potatoes" can mean "donated", "obtained", "pilfered", "pertaining to the campaigns of Genghis Khan", or "coleslaw", depending on context.
• Face–Heel Turn: Played for Laughs; He goes from helping the Foundation save the world by helping get George W. Bush elected President in SCP-4444 to hindering their attempts at fighting a hostile demon under the White House in SCP-5004 by serving as the FBI informant who helped kick off the Mueller investigation.
• Funny Animal: Bizarre speech patterns aside, SCP-2337 is quite intelligent for a talking bird.
• Historical In-Joke: The (in)famous "hanging chad" situation in Florida from during the 2000 U.S. Presidential election is explained here as being due to Dr. Spanko destroying the swing votes that would've given the election to Gore. He's also the anonymous informant who would help later instigate the Mueller investigation.
• Loved by All: Played for horror, oddly enough, and indeed one of the few truly creepy aspects of the character. Dr. Spanko has attracted the attention of many dangerous SCPs, all of whom express inexplicable familiarity with him and want to meet him in person (prior to a small rewrite, SCP-076-2 and SCP-682 were listed among these skips, and Dr. Spanko's own comments on the matter hint that the former still rings true). This is understandably a major cause for concern for the Foundation, who would have reclassified him as Keter if he weren't so cooperative. Word of God mitigates this by revealing that Dr. Spanko is actually an interdimensional cartoon character and the anomalies want to meet him because they're fans of his show.
• The Needless: Despite his love of gummy worms, Dr. Spanko is noted to have no need of nutrition.
• Nice Guy: Dr. Spanko is generally quite civil and friendly to others, with the main problem being that he's almost completely incomprehensible rather than any malicious actions on his behalf.
• Nigh-Invulnerable: In this Tale, he becomes the last survivor of an XK-class end-of-the-world scenario set off by SCP-2317-K breaking containment, because for some reason he's unharmed by cyanide gas, nuclear explosions, and radioactive fallout.
• Noodle Incident: It's considered something of an authority by other SCPs, but the current version of the article doesn't provide any examples of this.
• No Indoor Voice: Deconstructed. SCP-2337 is unable to talk at a volume below 90 db (approximately the volume of a train whistle), and is apparently able to be much, much louder, to the point that an attempt to make friendly conversation caused eardrum-rupturing blasts of sound.
• The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: There is no indication of what, if anything, SCP-2337 is a doctor of.
• Power Incontinence: As noted above, SCP-2337 takes the concept of having No Indoor Voice to comically absurd levels, and doesn't seem to realize that it's so loud in the first place.
• Refugee from TV Land: According to the Leak thread, Dr. Spanko is a character in another reality's cartoon.
• Retcon: The earliest version of the file explicitly name drops the SCPs that view Dr. Spanko as an "authority" as SCP-682 and SCP-076-2. These were quickly removed to make Dr. Spanko more mysterious (though the use of the word "ablesauce" implies that 076-2 is still one of them).
• Shaped Like Itself: One of his doctorates is in... "doctorology."
• Seemingly Profound Fool Downplayed: The Foundation knows he's a gibberish-spouting lunatic, but they think that because other SCPs are familiar with him he's some sort of authority figure, when he only holds as much authority as Mickey Mouse does to humans.
• Spanner in the Works: He saved the world from an Alien Invasion by Eldritch Abominations through destroying the votes that would've given the 2000 Presidential election to Al Gore (who was possessed by a hostile alien wizard at the time).
• Super-Scream: At its quietest his voice is still loud enough to cause hearing damage. When he is angry his voice can become loud enough to create destructive shockwaves and causing things to disintegrate.
• Terrible Artist: His ask blog includes a picture of himself drawn poorly in MS Paint.
• Trademark Favorite Food: SCP-2337 loves gummy worms ("Stranglefruits" in Spankospeak) - To the point that when SCP-2317-K breaks containment and destroys human civilization, all he's concerned about is finding the remaining gummy worms in the debris.
• Verbal Tic: Cack!
• Wild Card: He goes from aiding the Foundation in SCP-4444 to hindering them in SCP-5004.
• Word-Salad Humor: Speaks in an utterly incomprehensible dialect of English.
• Yet Another Christmas Carol: Parodied in "A Cackmas Carol", when the Ghost of Gummy Worms Past appears to punish Dr. Spanko for eating his kin. Spanko happily yells, "Stranglefruits! Am a Cackmas miracules!" and eats him.

SCP-2521 - ●●|●●●●●|●●|●

SCP-2521 is a strange entity that kidnaps any person who talks about it and steals any text written about it, so its SCP file only uses pictograms.

A list of it appearances can be found here.

---

• Ambiguously Evil: He doesn't seem to be actively malicious for a Keter SCP, but nobody knows what he does to the people that he abducts, and it's probable that his victims are actually being treated well. Considering that a cartoon heart appears over his face in the pictograms before he steals information or people who talk about him, he may do what he does out of love.
• And Call Him "George": He's shown embracing a human with a cartoon heart appearing on his face, while they look very unenthused about the whole ordeal.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Is on both the giving and receiving end in the dark version of the Keter Duty SCP-001 proposal, he's placed into permanent containment by being exposed to SCP-INTEGER, an Eldritch Abomination who rules over the land of empowered nomenclature. INTEGER abstracts 2521 into the aptly-named "NARCISSIST," which obviously sets him off and gets him to go on a hunt for INTEGER... but since he's not focusing on anything else, that's one less problem the Foundation has to take care of. Two, actually, since INTEGER is apparently in hiding because of this.
• Horrifying the Horror: According to the dark version of the Keter Duty SCP-001 proposal, he's powerful enough that SCP-INTEGER, the eldritch ruler of the fae forest that must not be named, ran like hell when it tried to attack him with its powers, reducing him to "NARCISSIST" but at the same time describing him for eternity. Based on the nature of the proposal, it's still hiding.
• Humanoid Abomination: He's just barely humanoid, but looks more like a featureless Living Shadow covered in black tentacles.
• Idiot Hair: A few bristles stand up on his head, notable enough to be a feature depicted in his pictograms.
• Intangibility: Can easily phase through any walls, floors, and ceilings at will.
• Narcissist: One possible interpretation of its motives. That is, it might perceive verbal information about it as its "reflections" while being unable to recognize drawings and photos as being of itself. SCP-INTEGER even calls him such when they meet in the dark version of the Keter Duty SCP-001 proposal, though this comes at the expense of the both of them.
• Obliviously Evil: One interpretation — he doesn't seem to have any malice in his actions, instead seemingly just wanting to collect information about himself because he loves it so much. The feeling is not shared by the people he kidnaps for talking about him, however.
• Our Ghosts Are Different: SCP-5621 implies it and SCP-1777-1 (a ghost who held onto Excalibur in search of King Arthur's descendants until he found one only for the Foundation to accidentally kill them) are the same kind of entity, an alchemical imprint left behind by the death of its caster and which takes after their cause of death. Who or what could have possibly created something like SCP-2521 and why is never hinted at.
• Speak of the Devil: If you describe him using words (either spoken or written), he appears and takes away either the speaker or what is written. His infohazard properties don't work on pictograms, symbols or images though.
• The Spook: Because of his abilities, he cannot be contained or written about and thus little is known about him.
• Stealthy Teleportation: Uses this ability to appear from nowhere and steal any info, and then takes it back with him.

SCP- 2408 — Klavigar Orok

SCP- 2721 — Eli and Lyris

SCP-2721 - Eli and Lyris

Image from SCP-2721-LORD's blog

SCP-2721 is an alien super weapon consisting of two parts, one biological (SCP-2721-LYRE) and one mechanical (SCP-2721-LORD), designed to collect data about civilizations before destroying them. The biological side, who calls herself Lyris, has apparently malfunctioned and developed emotions (and an obsession with Homestuck). The mechanical side, now named Eli, in trying to undestand its counterpart has gotten involved with Gamers Against Weed and Parawatch, under the screen name "bones." Both of them run blogs on Tumblr.

A list of Eli's appearances can be found here.

---

Tropes associated with both:

• Kill Sat: SCP-2721 is a satellite consisting of a mechanical part and a biological part. It is a superweapon capable of wiping out planets.

Tropes associated with Lyris:

• Alien Arts Are Appreciated: Lyris is a huge fan of Homestuck and strongly identifies with the character Calliope. She even makes fanart.
• Eldritch Abomination: Lyris is giant fleshy mass covered in eyes. She doesn't like her form and identifies as a transwoman.
• Organic Technology: That Eli sees Lyris's discovering emotions to be a malfunction implies that she is also of artificial origin.
• Perception Filter: Lyris is able to generate an Antimemetic SEP field to make it difficult for people to detect them.

Tropes associated with Eli:

• Alien Among Us: Eli is a member of Parawatch, but they are unaware of its alien nature.
• Future Imperfect: In the Vanguard timeline of SCP-6500, the public becomes aware that Eli is not human, although Lyris's SEP field means information on their true form and past is still limited. As a result, most humans commonly assume it has a skeleton or that it has collusions with either the mafia or the Bone Battalion from SCP-5572. Eli, for the most part, seems content to let the humans be wrong.
• "It" Is Dehumanizing: Eli appears to prefer "it" as its personal pronoun, which emphasises how its mind is more alien than Lyris's.
• No Sense of Humor: Eli does not understand humor at all. It sees jokes as being like lies or frivolous events.
• Not So Above It All: Despite lacking understanding of humor and emotions, Eli isn't above LOL, 69 humor, if its chatlogs with GAW are any indication.
• Ret-Gone: Eli's weaponry allows it to obliterate things retroactively so it becomes as though they never existed at all, and it is powerful enough to do this to entire civilizations.
• Sense Loss Sadness: Eli laments that it cannot experience touch, smell, or taste on its blog.
• The Spock: Eli does not understand emotions and believes that Lyris is malfunctioning.
• The Stoic: Since Eli still doesn't understand emotion, it tends to behave this way when it makes posts as "bones".
• What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Eli is confused by Lyris learning how to love and isn't able to return her feelings but it seems like it is slowly starting to get it.

SCP- 2747 — The Anafabula

SCP-2747 - As below, so above

But the lady of black thorns was clever, and sealed the king in his own tale, the marks of his liberation becoming those of his demise, and so, too late, he realized that the number seven was never his.

SCP-2747 is a phenomenon where people start talking about nonexistent works of fiction. The fact is that these stories did exist once upon a time, but have been left unfinished or destroyed, with "residue" involving them being left behind.

The destruction of these narratives is linked to a common set of narrative elements that the Foundation has dubbed the "anafabula," never truly defined but which usually involves darkness, destruction, stories within stories or layers of reality, ambiguous or unconventional antagonists, the number 7, incompleteness or audience dissatisfaction (alternatively, this may be a symptom of narratives already being partially erased by it, rather than itself a cause), and will eventually close in on the narrative of the Foundation itself if it qualifies. (Technically, the anafabula itself is never given an SCP designation, but most people refer to it as SCP-2747 anyways.) One of the primary objectives of the Pataphysics Department is to steer the fate of their fictional world away from its hunting grounds to prevent the universe's destruction, but it — or possibly, she — seems to be much, much more cunning and intelligent than what would be expected of a mere force of nature. Indeed, wherever the Department goes, a so-called "lady of black thorns" is often not too far behind...

---

• Always a Bigger Fish: SCP-3125 fears "her", and in one timeline where SCP-3125 successfully took over reality, that last remaining human deliberately invokes it to destroy reality and SCP-3125 with it.
• Arc Number:
  • The number 7 is used repeatedly in the article. There are seven examples of works mentioned in manifestations of SCP-2747 (many of which prominently feature 7), seven footnotes, and seven sections (Item #, Object Class, Threat Level, Special Containment Procedures, Description, and two appendices). It's implied that the seventh of all of these things is the "core" that symbolizes the anomaly. Several of the works feature six of something (characters, settings, etc.), implying a seventh one that is never revealed. Furthermore, when a manifestation of the anafabula confronts Murphy Law/SCP-3143 personally at some unknown point in time, it's implied that they still can't kill him, saying that there's seven of a lot of things but only six bullets in their revolver. The ending of SCP-5317 also claims that the Scarlet King's own use of the number is yet another one of the anafabula's schemes.
• Anti-Climax: Works of fiction described in manifestations of SCP-2747 are invariably unsatisfying or otherwise incomplete in nature, usually lacking some final or climactic piece or prominent plot element.
• Butt-Monkey: Fred/SCP-423 don't take it very seriously despite knowing about its existence and abilities, and SCP-2747 cannot even kill Murphy for real, even though it's already made itself a character in his story.
• Central Theme: SCP-2747-affected works are either incomplete, or have endings with a lot of uncertainty or incompleteness. The protagonist of Punta de la espira dies no closer to his goal than when he started; the protagonist of Taitoru is literally consumed by her creative block; No Sister of Mine is Unwinnable; the MacGuffin-wielding antagonist of the Scolipendra Wiki never appeared; I/O is described as "never quite touching upon the dreadful center" of its dark themes; the protagonist of Mavigne wakes up just before he can describe the last part of his journey; and the murderer(s) and victim(s) in ex lux are never discovered. And you end the SCP-2747 article on [DATA LOST].
• Characterization Marches On: While initially introduced as a mindless force of nature, later articles such as SCP-5317 and SCP-6747 would end up creating its modern portrayal as an apparently sapient being with too much power for its own good, similarly to SCP-3125.
• The Chessmaster: So you know how the Scarlet King manifesting in reality always seems to be dependent on some seventh event, whether it's the final chain breaking, SCP-231-7 giving birth, etc., that, conveniently, hasn't happened yet? SCP-5317 implies that this resemblance to works affected by the anafabula is no coincidence—the number seven's been its number all along, and all of the ways he's attempted to break free have unwittingly just been falling right in line with its antinarrative schema.
• Eldritch Abomination: It's described as an "anafabula", or anti-narrative, that feeds upon other narratives. And it works upward, so a Show Within a Show would be destroyed first, followed by the show itself.
• Evil Is Deathly Cold: SCP-7427 is implied in the end to be what one way that the anafabula devouring a universe can look like from its inhabitants' perspective — their home planet will freeze over into an Endless Winter, and an anomalous form of snow will fall that destroys all sapient life and anything part of their cultures.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: Taken at face value, Appendix B is this. If the Appendix was "lost", that means the anafabula took it. Which means that the SCP Foundation's universe is already on the way to destruction. And so is the universe containing the Foundation's universe.
• Greater-Scope Villain:
  • According to SCP-5317, the anafabula is responsible for manipulating the Scarlet King himself.
  • In at least one universe, SCP-2316 is the latent power of SCP-3125's corpse. The latter ended up there after the anafabula punted them into the lake after destroying it.
• Historical In-Joke: SCP-3922 briefly implies it is the reason some people like to discuss made-up works as if they actually existed, whether as an inside joke like Goncharov or as an outright obsession commonly associated with Wiki Vandals. The implication is that all these works did exist, but the anafabula ate them—making those discussion of them that remain instances of the SCP-2747 phenomenon.
• It Can Think: Its appearances in SCP-5317 indicate it is sapient and smart enough to be The Chessmaster of an extremely elaborate trap for the Scarlet King, something the Foundation only partially catches on to.
• Leaking Can of Evil: The Foundation stuffs a version of it into the lolFoundation universe in SCP-6747, but the documentation for the associated anomalies still warp at the edges because of its presence. A voice implied to be it or one of its associates also addresses the reader by name if logged into Wikidot, aware that the Foundation has once again shunted one of their responsibilities onto the authors.
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall:
  • The anafabula is never directly observed in action, but its results can be observed as instances of SCP-2747, that is, second or third-hand descriptions of a non-existent work. If you replace "work" with "organization", that is exactly what the SCP Wiki looks like.
  • SCP-2747 works are incomplete, or have open-ended endings. The SCP Wiki is never "complete".
  • The Scolipendra Wiki is deduced to be an online collaborative fictional universe belonging to the horror, speculative fiction, and weird fiction genres, and has fanfictions on fanfiction.net. Notice how Scolipendra contains "S", "C", and "P" in order and how the rest of the description falls directly in line with the SCP Wiki.
• Meaningful Name: "Fabula" is an obscure synonym of "story". Thus an "anafabula", (using the Greek root "ana-", meaning "up", "against", "back" or "re-") can literally be read to mean "against story" (this translation being confirmed on the author's personal website), which is exactly what it does. (This strange word, instead of the more conventional but equally accurate "antinarrative", is one example of its influence on the document itself: it contributes to the perception of it as foreign, strange, and other—one of its core components.)
• Omnicidal Maniac: A force of destruction exist as the antithesis of narratives. Narratives are fundamental parts of existence that contain dimensions and realities along with all entities in it as if they were fictions, and it attempts to devour all narratives by inserting enough manifestations of itself into various narratives. ​
• Pet the Dog: In Project Isorropia, SCP-3812 becomes more mentally stable by expressing himself artistically through works containing the anafabula's elements and themes.
• Ret-Gone: Has this effect on narratives, including books, music, websites, and video games. References to the narrative exist, but the actual narrative is gone from reality.
• The Rival: An important part of SCP-3143/Murphy Law's story after being set on his path by SCP-3043 and Dr. Thaddeus Thaum, and plays this role as an entity that is directly anathema to his actions. Somehow, the anafabula has never been able to kill him despite erasing parts of his narrative—perhaps he's somehow beaten them at their own game, taking the role of the incomplete seventh icon in their own story.
  there are seven seas, seven continents, and seven wonders in the world. seven days, seven sins, and seven notes in a scale — but only six bullets in my gun.
• Samus Is a Girl: The anafabula itself is referred to by SCP-5317 as the Lady of Black Thorns, by SCP-6747 as the Queen of the Void and Its Seven Spirals. In addition, the female character of "Sister" in the video game No Sister of Mine is one of its manifestations. However,, most of the manifestations in the original article aren't people at all, but rather inanimate objects, locations, events, or even more abstract things, or else of unknown gender (but, given certain writing trends, likely masculine statistically speaking). In addition, in "Scared Stiff" one of its manifestations is the male H.O.X. Blackthorn, in "a fistful of frantic movements", a tale written by minmin (the author of SCP-2747) himself, it is heavily implied to manifest in the real world as a male serial killer trucker, who at one point briefly refers to his "God"—possibly referring to the anafabula itself—with "he" pronouns, and even "Why is Five afraid of Seven?", refers to it, androgynously, as "the Lord of Non-Existent".
• Self-Demonstrating Article: The fictional works affected by the anafabula include certain common elements, including dealing with nested metafictions, themes of dread and despair, a certain amount of missing content, and a lack of a conventional ending, all of which apply to the SCP-2747 article itself. And as a result of compiling all the findings from anafabula-affected works into Appendix B, the article itself became affected by it, which resulting in the appendix becoming "[LOST]". Murphy Law's series of articles (""''There Is No Canon''") and SCP-6747 also exhibit similar narrative patterns, though for one reason or another reasons they don't seem to be affected in the same way. Despite Murphy seemingly falling prey to it, two entries, as yet unwritten, remain to his story—how, and in what way, he survives is unfortunately unknown; and on the other hand, the Foundation in SCP-6747 learned enough from the field of pataphysics to rise from the jaws of defeat.
• Story-Breaker Power: As an entity that literally destroys stories from reality, the anafabula is considered as one of the most powerful entities in the entire multiverse that could theoretically bring any canon or individual timeline on the wiki to a screeching halt.

SCP-2803-A — P. Hudson Gock

SCP-2803 - TotleighSoft - "Because COMPUTERS!"™

SCP-2803-A or P. Hudson Gock is alien lifeform who came to Earth to form startup videogame company, Totleight Software Company or TotleighSoft, creating games of questionable quality. Why? were for AMERICAN dream! His "employees" are humans enslaved to his will, known as SCP-2803-B. He has manufactured several SCP objects, mainly video games, contained by the Foundation.

A list of their appearances can be found here.

---

• Absurdly High-Stakes Game: SCP-2219, or PORRIDGE, is a Game Boy Goldilocks and the Three Bears-themed Nintendo Hard game... that inflicts physical damage to the player as they are hit in the game, ranging from a light seizure from failing to collect enough Porridge in a level to inflicting leprosy upon losing the game. On the other hand, succeeding in collecting enough Porridge rewards the player with a sense of massive euphoria, and an instant orgasm upon reaching 100 Porridge. While no one has yet succeeded in defeating the final boss, it's implied there is an accordingly high reward upon success, given the most-affected player mentioned "it's not even supposed to be a game, it's a way to weed out the unworthy"...
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: P. Hudson Gock is an alien and does not properly understand human thought patterns. This confusion leaks on to his games, which either have very harmful effects to the human body or are very bizarre in their execution.
• Lesser of Two Evils: When P. Hudson Gock explains what his previous occupation was the Foundation doctor begs him to stay on Earth as a video game entrepreneur.
• Pac Man Fever: Some of TotleighSoft's games are very simple and run on now-outdated consoles.
• Sequelitis: TotleighSoft has a form of technology that essentially generates movies or episodes of established series ad infinitum. SCP-4587 is a videocassette that generates endless variations on the concept of a movie revolving around a dog starring Charles Grodin, Andie MacDowell and Alan Rickman. SCP-6697 is a hypothetically eternal tenth season of Seinfeld. Unfortunately, not only does this mean the creative quality of said entertainment visibly degrades with use, the technology has deleterious consequences: repeating too much of the first SCP accidentally creates a hostile reality bender that attacks Corbenic, and for the second, an error grants the In-Universe George Costanza a horrible form of awareness and inability to escape the limits of the narrative, until he kills Jerry and ends up being the new focus of the narrative, now a different show named COZTANSER. Both SCPs are now under moratorium for further testing.
• You No Take Candle: P. Hudson Gock speaks like this with frequent grammar mistakes, misspellings, and arbitrary words written in ALL-CAPS. Most text written by this company is also like this, suggesting that he writes every line in each game.

SCP- 2845 — THE DEER

SCP-2845 - THE DEER

Arriving on Earth from a comet, SCP-2845 is an immensely powerful entity from space resembling a green deer with a human face that can only be contained though a complex set of rituals.

---

• Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: The entity looks like a pastel green deer.
• Animalistic Abomination: An eldritch deer-god.
• Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: The containment ritual uses among other things a farcical play, a gift exchange and cannibalism.
• Enemy Mine: While they aren't actually enemies, initial containment of SCP-2845 required the combined efforts of the Foundation and the GOC.
• Forced Transformation: It can transform human beings into fleshy columns designated SCP-2845-1.
• Mind over Matter: It can transmute and reconstruct any and all matter within its line of sight. It often makes orbs of helium and hydrogen.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: It's an extremely hard-to-beat Physical God.
• No Conservation of Mass: Averted. The brain now takes up the entirety of the transformed people's insides and the added mass is equal to that of their previous organs.
• Physical God: More emphasis on it being a god than it being corporeal.
• Ritual Magic: A very complex ritual is used to contain SCP-2845. It turns out that the actual content of the ritual isn't important. What matters is that it is a ritual in the first place and SCP-2845 believes that that's what containing it.
• Transformation Ray: It likes to turn humans into hexagons.

SCP- 2852 — Cousin Johnny

SCP-2852 - Cousin Johnny

SCP-2852 at a Black-Level event.

"I'm the monster that comes out when you think your God takes away the crops. I'm the monster that takes your teeth away when you get old then older. I'm your body's betrayal."

SCP-2852 is a mysterious being that visits important Catholic and Anglican events under the guise of a non-existent middle-aged Caucasian family member named "Cousin Johnny" which will be remembered by all present. The events at which it appears are increasingly nightmarish, disturbing and Squicky, ultimately leading to all those attending suffering a terrible fate.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Animal Motifs: Cicadas. Johnny is actually cicadas in a human suit.
• Backstory Invader: When Cousin Johnny shows up, no one under his spell will find his sudden appearance surprising and will act like he's a part of the family.
• Black Speech: SCP-2852 instances speak in a "word salad." People under its effect will perceive this as normal speech.
• The Corrupter: SCP-2852's presence at any event results in the emergence of Cluster B personality disorders, juvenile delinquency, premature deaths, suicides, domestic violence, divorces, disfigurements, sterility, and extreme behavioral changes in the attendees. It's theorized that up to 1/3 of all Catholic and Anglican D-class may have been involved in Black-Level Events. One of three possible reasons given for its actions by invokedWord of God is that it desires to "ruin society one family at a time".
• Creepy Uncle: Whenever SCP-2852 manifests at a family gathering, everyone will perceive it as a member of the family, even if they look nothing alike, and will refer to the SCP-2852 instance as "Cousin Johnny," who they will describe as playful and having a crude sense of humor. Of course, it only seems creepy to people who aren't part of the event.
• From Bad to Worse: The Events at which SCP-2852 appears are increasingly disturbing and severe.
  • Blue-level Events: Baptisms. During the ritual, SCP-2852 will act as a third godparent. The events will proceed like normal until the child is submerged in the water. The child's top layer of skin will slough off in one piece and the godparents will eat it. The rest of the mass will go on like normal and SCP-2852 will exit along with the family.
  • White-level Events: Weddings. SCP-2852 will insert itself as a groomsman and, after the rings have been exchanged, will offer tools to the bride and groom to rip out each others' teeth, after which they'll feed them to each other. The groom will them emit an unknown cicada song loud enough to deafen the bride and everyone at the alter. SCP-2852 will then give a nonsensical speech before giving the newlyweds a gift. This gift is always the same at every White-level event: a cardboard box full of 3.5 kilograms of human hair, 23 human teeth, and 13 dead cicadas.
  • Black-level Events: Funerals. SCP-2852 will take the place of the eulogizer, give a nonsensical speech, then the person closest to the deceased will open the casket and produce a long knife. Two-by-two, the attendants will use the knife to cut their wrists or throats to bleed into the casket. SCP-2852's speech will eventually devolve into a cicada song, which all participants will join in. Once everyone has bled into the coffin, SCP-2852 will walk over and vomit a mixture of blood, wood pulp, and dead cicadas into it as well. The event usually ends once the coffin is lowered into the ground. If there was another gathering afterward, SCP-2852 will vomit the same mixture into a bowl and feed it to children before stripping and allowing the other attendants to feed on its flesh. Black-level events not only have the worst outcomes for participants, but any and all attempts to stop or end them result in those attempting to do so becoming part of the event itself. There's nothing the Foundation can do once a Black-level event starts except watch it happen.
  • All of the SCP-2852's apperances stopped occurring once SCP-3004's influence started affecting humanity, causing Christians to perform even more horrifying rituals.
• Humanoid Abomination: SCP-2852 instances look human and contain human DNA, but don't have any internal organs, their hair and teeth are made of cicada chitin, their eyes that are not connected to anything, they speak in Word Salad, and they drastically alter the events of family gatherings through their presence alone.
• Intelligible Unintelligible: People at SCP-2852-affected events will hear its Black Speech as normal language unless warned beforehand.
• Obliviously Evil: invokedWord of God has it that this is one possibility of its motives — that Cousin Johnny is a creature that simply wants to be part of a family, but doesn't exactly understand how.
• Outside-Context Problem: SCP-2030 is this to 2852, and is apparently able to override his events and turn the incident into one of 2030's messed up "candid camera" events, as detailed in this short story.
• Religious Horror: SCP-2852 (so far) only appears at gatherings of those of Roman Catholic or Anglican faith.
• Sterility Plague: SCP-2852 sterilizes most, if not all people at the gatherings, which is odd since it doesn't seem to affect anything related to fertility.
• Wild Card: The third of three possible reasons given by invokedWord of God for its motives. Simply put, it's just doing what it feels like doing.
• The Worf Effect: Even "Cousin Johnny" isn't immune to SCP-2030 which apparently is powerful enough to override Black-level Events and confound 2852 into fleeing the scene.
• Would Hurt a Child: SCP-2852's effects are most prominent within children.

Series IV

SCP- 3000 — Anantashesha

SCP-3000 - Anantashesha

SCP-3000 is a gigantic eel that exclusively eats humans. Looking at it or being around it for to long causes memory loss and feelings of nihilism.

---

• Adaptational Villainy: The mythological Anantashesha is simply Vishnu's bed. Here, it actively eats people and destroys their sanity, though it might just be an anomalous animal operating on pure instinct.
• Ambiguous Situation: It is unclear if SCP-3000 is the actual deity Anantashesha or merely a powerful being. The doctor who initially thought SCP-3000 was Anantashesha changed his mind immediately before he was consumed by SCP-3000.
• Animalistic Abomination: It resembles a massive moray eel. However, it is clearly nothing of the kind. It may or may not be a deity, but either way it's a huge serpentine monster that destroys people's minds with its mere presence.
• Eldritch Abomination: SCP-3000 shows heavy shades of this, given its effect on memory, dreams and cognition. It's implied that looking at the eel makes one realize how insignificant their life is, and that they will return to inert matter and be forgotten in the span of the Time Abyss, in which the eel will continue to live on forever. While it will readily snap up the humans offered to it, it does not digest them. Scans indicate that its insides are full of intact human bodies. Given what it does to people’s minds, it is entirely possible every human it's eaten are trapped in some And I Must Scream phenomenon, still aware but otherwise with their minds destroyed entirely.
• Evil Counterpart: According to SCP-4840-A, Anantashesha is the dark counterpart and shadow to the Serpent, each representing one truth of creation; What IS and what IS NOT.
• Human Sacrifice: The eel may or may not be a god, but the Foundation is sacrificing humans to it anyway for an extremely important asset in preserving their masquerade.
• Mind Rape: It does this by its sheer presence. People's memories are affected, and they start losing themselves. It gets worse the closer to the eel you get, with the initial dive team eventually having their minds entirely destroyed. Worse, it also can give you the memories of others. One scientist got a nasty shock when he realized his wife and child were actually the relatives of his deceased coworker, while he was single and childless. He still remembered raising the child and being in love with the woman despite never having done so. This drove him mad.
• Necessarily Evil: Feeding SCP-3000 humans and harvesting the resulting Y-909 is considered this by the Ethics Committee and O5 Council. They are working to minimize human interaction with SCP-3000, but still designate it as a Thaumiel-class entity given the use of Y-909 in amnestics and feed it humans periodically.
• Nobody Poops: Zig-zagged. A sudden horror comes from the fact that it's stuffed with undigested, decaying prey, but the waste SCP-3000 produces from seemingly breaking down sapience/the soul/some other supernatural facet of the mind (designated Y-909) is necessary for use in amnestics. This is why the Foundation needs to feed it D-class.
• Sanity Slippage: A side-effect, given the eel's powerful Mind Rape abilities, is that any people in its vicinity will slowly begin to lose touch with reality. It is designated a major cognitohazard.
• Slippery as an Eel: A gigantic moray eel estimated between 600 and 900 kilometers long, living off of the Ganges delta.
• To Serve Man: SCP-3000 only eats humans. The Foundation feeds it D-class personnel to harvest Y-909.
• Unobtanium: The Y-909 compound SCP-3000 produces, which so far has no artificial equal. It is critical to modern amnestics and can only be produced if SCP-3000 is fed humans.

SCP- 3125 — వ

SCP-3125 - The Escapee

An artistic representation of SCP-3125, as it appears in SCP-6659.

SCP-3125 or వ is a sapient idea from another reality that will enslave all humanity by replacing all other thoughts with itself if it manages to fully enter our world. What makes it even more dangerous is that it murders anyone who learns that it exists outside of specially shielded chambers along with their family and colleagues and all memory of their existence to make sure that nobody can stop its arrival.

---

• A God Am I: In the Site-17 Deepwell Catalogue, it considers itself humanity's patron deity and actively looks down on all other gods civilization has come to recognize. From the perspective of SCP-6659, humans are its totems of worship that it feeds off of through an unspecified religion (likely Fifthism.), as John Blake from that article says:
  John Blake: The whisper erupts into static and tells me no God I could ever conceive could compare.
• Alien Geometries: It takes the "form" of an immense, Θ'-dimensional fractal topology, with Θ' being SCP-033, the "missing" integer.
• Amnesiac Dissonance: It tends to turn itself into a Noble Demon or Kindhearted Simpleton if it somehow loses its memories. In two separate universes, this led to its amnesiac self being classified as separate entities (an alternate SCP-2316 and, arguably, OBJECT 5 from SCP-7555 respectively.)
• Amnesiac Resonance: One of its Alternate Universe counterparts is also one of SCP-2316's cognitohazard, created when the anafabula killed it and left its corpse in the lake. Although this version of it would have to have completely forgotten their origins after possessing the bodies in the water, its unending hatred of the Foundation hasn't changed in the slightest.
• The Assimilator: Any human who it infects has their mind destroyed and replaced with 3125's core ideas, which they become wholly devoted to serving and spreading.
• Attack Its Weak Point: In the Site-17 Deepwell Catalogue, the greater Foundation discovers it has several fragments that are safe for humans to view. If Project Prometheus goes as planned, SCP-6659 can be used to proverbially shatter SCP-3125 to pieces this way, once tied to a religion.
• Big Bad: It is the main antagonist of the Antimemetics Division Hub tales and the biggest threat the Division has to deal with.
• Break Them by Talking: It delivers a particularly scathing speech to Marion in Your Last First Day, taking the opportunity to also slide in a Badass Boast near the end.
  SCP-3125: Your team is dead. Their minds have been pulled out, like eyeballs. They're hollow people, with holes in space where their brains were. The war is over! Finally! It's just you, Marion, a division of one! Dying from mnestic overdose, two hundred metres underground, cared for by no one, known to exist to no one, up against an immortal, unkillable idea. ^note  This narration by SCP Orientation does a pretty good job of emulating 3125's sheer ego and gloating in this text.
• Eldritch Abomination: It is a massive, extradimensional meme complex that intersects the entire universe except for its "containment chamber" (actually an area of exclusion). It also hails from a realm where ideas are far more aggressive than those humans are capable of having, making it incredibly dangerous.
• The End of the World as We Know It: What the results of its arrival will be, since "humanity" as we know it will cease to be as meaningful as a concept. The Foundation has no way to prevent this from happening.
• Even More Omnipotent: In the Site-17 Deepwell Catalog canon, SCP-3125 is depicted as being the single most powerful entity in the SCP universe by far, infinitely beyond even the Scarlet King and his fellow Old Gods.
• Giant Spider: While not one itself, 3125 is associated with huge antimemetic spiders that seem to be parts of its greater whole.
• Greater-Scope Paragon: Believe it or not, SCP-3125 (as well as SCP-682) actually views itself as a savior of humanity by killing the SCP-5000 entity that exists in the human noosphere. Whatever the entity is, it's apparently so terrible that it would be better for us to lose all sense of self or go outright extinct than let it continue to exist.
• Greater-Scope Villain: According to the tales in the Antimemetics Division Hub (specifically CASE COLOURLESS GREEN, SCP-3125 is responsible for Fifthist Church, as well as a large number of other memetic and interdimensional anomalies.
• Humanity Is Infectious:
  • How the Foundation plans to defeat it in the ADMONITION saga. If SCP-3125 is so intent on claiming to represent the very humans it plans on subjugating, they'll just make humanity itself a religion that SCP-3125 will end up connecting itself to, and then slowly build up an acquired immunity that will make 3125 appear as if it was never there.
  • In one universe where it perished at the anafabula's hands, its dying essence latched onto the infamous bodies in the water, creating SCP-2316. Somehow, it wound up forgetting who it used to be and instead became the more humanized Anti-Villain 2316's cognitohazard eventually developed into.
• Humanity Ensues: In "July 5th, 1975," its dying essence (put in the lake by SCP-2747's anafabula) merged with the bodies in the water. The resulting Identity Amnesia from its wounds and the sudden change turned it into a Hive Mind of human spirits; while it would be no less evil if the other Class of '76 articles were to follow, its new identity would be more sympathetic as a result of its known loyalty to Tragic Monsters Syncope Symphony.
• Humanoid Abomination: What those possessed by it become. They don't actually look any different, but they cannot be recognized as humans. In the Antimemetics Division tales, it also has an apparent "avatar" that looks like a man in his early twenties. This however is just a A Form You Are Comfortable With since it is not a physical being.
• Identity Amnesia: The in-universe reason "July 5th, 1975" (whose last line implies SCP-2316 is the same entity as SCP-3125 in an Alternate Universe) can be reconciled with the rest of the Class of '76; it's suggested 3125 had completely forgotten who it used to be by the time it became the voice of the bodies in the water.
• It Can Think: While the Foundation is aware SCP-3125 is intelligent, at least two separate timelines demonstrate it is capable of Pragmatic Villainy by forming willing alliances with other major villains that would otherwise be competition to secure its influence — in SCP-4547, part of Mo'ara's fall is caused by SCP-3125 bargaining with fellow Greater-Scope Villain the Scarlet King, and in SCP-6820, it and SCP-682 cooperate long enough for 682 to ascend to godhood.
• Logical Weakness: Like everything else on the site, it is a fictional character and is thus vulnerable to total annihilation by the anafabula from SCP-2747 and other entities on its level if it attracts their attention.
• Meaningful Name:
  • Its SCP number (3125 = 5⁵) is very significant. It is strongly implied to be one of the five main deities of the Fifth Church.
  • The entity's true name, వ, is character 3125 in Unicode.
• Mind Virus: SCP-3125 is a dangerous living idea that infects whoever knows about it into drones who can only think of thinking of and spreading its core concepts to other people.
• Numerological Motif: The number 5/five, naturally. It is the god worshipped by the Fifthists, those under its thrall are obsessed with instances of five, it is depicted as a five-pointed star, and it hails from the Fifth World. Even its number, 3125, is 5 to the power of 5.
• Ret-Gone: Anyone who perceives 3125's true shape is instantly obliterated in this fashion by its defense mechanism, along with "mental bystanders" connected to ideas held by the victim (usually colleagues and family).
• The Unpronounceable: The entity's name is written as the character "వ," a letter from the Telugu language, which also is character #3125 in Unicode, but doesn't state how to pronounce this, although if the symbol is supposed to be taken literally its name would be Va.
• You Cannot Grasp the True Form: Once you do, you and every "mental bystander" of yours is gone.

SCP- 3143 — Murphy Law

SCP-3143 - Murphy Law in… The Foundation Always Rings Twice!

Artistic representation

SCP-3143 is a metaphysical entity known as Murphy Law who acts like a parody of a Film Noir protagonist and is able to alter reality into a film noir narrative. Documents he appears in are altered to resemble a film script.

Murphy Law has a hub page here.

---

• Affectionate Nickname: Either SCP-3043 or a manifestation of the anafabula from SCP-2747 calls him a "magic noir boy."
• Affectionate Parody: Of 1930s-1950s film noir gumshoes.
• Ambiguously Gay: Law's original author, TheGreatHippo, has stated that they see Law as being homosexual. However, in the actual articles and Tales featuring Law, he's portrayed as being hyper-focused on solving the current case to the point of being completely dismissive of any Fanservice on offer (regardless of what audience it is intended for), to the point where Law comes across as more asexual than anything else.
• Author Avatar: SCP-3143 ("Murphy Law") is really just a self-insert for his author, Murphy Lawden (designated SCP-3143-A). Except this is just a lie cooked up by the Foundation to deconstruct and contain SCP-3143. Murphy Law doesn't really have an author, as far as anyone can tell.
• Beat Them at Their Own Game: When Dr. Thaum contains SCP-3143 by deconstructing him, Murphy Law escapes by deconstructing Dr. Thaum—and the baseline reality Foundation to boot.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: The ending of SCP-7043 strongly implies that should his narrative abilities be suppressed, the author entity currently writing his story will possess him until Murphy's powers restabilize. Three Overseers learn this the hard way and get shot by 7043's author possessing Murphy for their troubles.
• Character Catchphrase: "I'm Murphy Law. I'm who you call when whatever can go wrong... did."
• Do Not Call Me "Paul": Hates when the Foundation refers to him as "Mr. Lawden", as it reminds him of his confrontation with Dr. Thaum.
• Epiphanic Prison: All it takes for Murphy to break out of containment is to question the Foundation's narrative. Then they can't stop him from just walking out.
• Expy: invoked As lampshaded per invokedWord of God, Murphy Law is essentially what would happen if Tracer Bullet ever became a sapient Reality Warper.
• Film Noir: His aesthetic draws from this, but it's downplayed as he's more on the lighter "hardbitten Anti-Hero with a good-hearted streak" (think Philip Marlowe and his ilk) rather than the darker "doomed Villain Protagonist with a weak will" side of things.
• Hardboiled Detective: He is a parody of the archetypical hardboiled detective character.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Repeatedly lampshaded, to the point where the Foundation's Pataphysics Department points out how he's ultimately too much of a "white knight" despite his cynical bluster to be properly compared to other Film Noir protagonists.
• Painting the Medium: Both of the skips he's featured in are written in the style of movie scripts to reflect him as an Affectionate Parody of Film Noir films from The Golden Age of Hollywood.
• Psychopathic Manchild: As his author has noted, Murphy Law is basically a sentient anomaly with the mentality of a little kid who warps reality to play out the role of a heroic Private Detective.
• Punny Name: Murphy Law (based on "Murphy's law"). Dr. Thaum even calls him out for having a name "based on an absurdly contrived pun."
• Noir Episode: Murphy Law warps everything around him into a Film Noir narrative.
• Reality Warper: SCP-3143 (aka Murphy Law) blurs the line between this and Author Powers. He has the ability to merge multiple layers of fiction and reality into a single narrative, which he then warps into a hardboiled crime story, with himself as the protagonist. When he leaves records of his activities, they always take the form of a Film Noir screenplay. It seems he can override SCP-3043's powers this way, though he needs to follow the "rules" of his own powers/genre to do so.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: After Thaum rather brutally deconstructs him as a rather cliched Lighter and Softer parody of a noir detective that waters down the darker edges of noir and who has a rather contrived name in order to contain him, Murphy returns the favour when he reveals he's figured out Thaum's game and deconstructs Thaum in turn: specifically, by pointing out that Thaum is himself just "a spooky ghost story dressed up in a lab-coat, glasses, and a funny little accent" trying to stop people telling stories he doesn't like. But what really disturbs the Foundation is that, while Thaum is fictional, Murphy also accurately deconstructs them, pointing out that the Foundation itself is just a bunch of horror stories dressed up in quasi-scientific formatting and language to try and make them seem more plausible.
• Steven Ulysses Perhero: "Murphy Law" is the Author Avatar of one Murphy Lawden. Except Murphy Lawden doesn't really exist. That's just a story cooked up by the Foundation.

SCP-3774- 2432 — Leslie

SCP-3774 - My Heart DEETs Faster For You

Leslie (designated SCP-3774-2432) is probably the most romantic mosquito you will ever read about.

A list of Leslie's appearances can be found here.

---

• Back from the Dead: Two different authors wrote stories about Leslie being brought back to life by SCP-049.
• Bittersweet Ending: Leslie dies, and due to their defects, all other SCP-3774 specimens are exterminated. However, she implanted offspring in Merle before dying, and the Foundation not only let Merle keep his memories of her (only erasing the part where she's a mosquito and that they were only dating for a month) but also let the children grow up in a normal neighborhood.
• Cyborg: SCP-3774 are (predominantly female) mosquitoes outfitted with bio-mechanical augmentations.
• Half-Human Hybrid: Subverted; despite their DNA being 50% mosquito in origin, the offspring left behind by SCP-3774-2432/Leslie are biologically completely human.
• Interspecies Romance: Installment of the ability to imitate human voices led to SCP-3774 specimens becoming infatuated with any individual they bite. The bulk of the article is thus taken up by a romance between an ordinary human man and a cyborg mosquito.
• Mayfly–December Romance: Ultimately, SCP-3774 is still constrained by the average mosquito's lifespan, meaning that Leslie and Merle's romance only lasts for a month before ending in Leslie's death.
• Mister Seahorse: As demonstrated by the dying Leslie, SCP-3774 instances can produce viable offspring with humans by implanting them into the human's body, where they begin to gestate.
• One-Gender Race: Invoked; the Foundation specifically made them produce offspring that are 90% female due to their blood-sucking capacity and longer lifespan.
• Someone to Remember Him By: Leslie lives just long enough to implant her offspring in Merle.
• Surveillance Drone: Mosquitoes outfitted for surveillance by the Foundation.
• You Are Number 6: 3774-2432 notes that she's only been known as "2432" all her life. Her mate thus gives her the name "Leslie" because she apparently sounds like the actress Leslie Caron.

SCP- 3860 — Vincent Anderson

SCP-3860 - The Falcon's Landing

Artistic representation of SCP-3860 by Zhange

Vincent Robert Anderson, cofounder and chief executive officer of Anderson Robotics. Anderson was initially catalogued by the SCP Foundation as Person of Interest PoI-1115 following their discovery of him and his company in 2007, but due to being a Type-Blue humanoid with numerous bodily modifications upon himself, he was eventually given the SCP designation SCP-3860 following his capture by MTF Gamma-13 in 2018, but wasn't fully contained until Operation Falcon Punch in 2024.

A list of Anderson's appearances can be found here.

---

• A Birthday, Not a Break: On his fiftieth birthday, Anderson was caught in a sting operation by the SCP Foundation who had the abducted the co-heads of Anderson's R&D team as bait.
• Arms Dealer: He furthered Anderson Robotics into producing and selling illegal arms, one of his grievances against the FBI.
• Artificial Limbs: Replaced his arms and legs with mechanical replacements, specifically the prototypes of the Gyrfalcon Series prosthetics.
• Body Surf: Through business arrangements with members from the Church of Maxwellism, Anderson acquired the means to transfer his consciousness between his original body and one of his android. He would utilize this after he was contained as SCP-3860, as he'd hop into Saker #101 to continue running his company until the android was destroyed in the raid on the AR World Headquarters.
• Cool Mask: After his modifications left his face more machine than man, Anderson started wearing a Venetian drama mask. By taping on the mask, it would shift between the comedy and tragedy expressions.
• Creating Life Is Unforeseen: When questioned on SCP-3560, SCP-3860 was surprised to find out that his products have an Artificial Afterlife he presumably made in his own ignorance.
• Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Anderson gradually began detaching himself from his morals as he furthered his company and modified his body.
• Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: Excuses the Parental Abandonment of his daughter Erica saying his illegal activities would put her and her mother at risk.
• Disappeared Dad: Abandoned his wife Jill and their daughter to run Anderson Robotics. He went twenty years without speaking with his ex-wife, and even longer with Erica.
• Electronic Eyes: Both of his eyes have been replaced with a complex series of optical lenses embedded with numerous thaumatological symbols.
• Homemade Inventions: Before he took off, Anderson's company started off with him working from his house in Oregon.
• Lightning Lash: Built into his hand was a weapon consisting of a thin prehensile cable he could use to pierce into a person's body to worm around their organs to electrocute them or to find and sever their nerves.
• The Noseless: Replaced his nose with a single grated orifice.
• Robot Buddy: His first robot, "Benny" the Amur Series Recon Drone prototype. Benny loyally served its creator since the Anderson Robotics' founding until it was destroyed during Operation Falcon Punch.
• Science Wizard: Anderson pursued a career that utilized his expertise as both a roboticist and a thaumaturgist (or a "Type-Blue entity").

SCP-3885- 01 — Exploding Zombie Gearheads

SCP-3885 The High-Octane Full-Throttle Adventures of the Exploding Zombie Gearheads

SCP-3885-01 is the collective designation for a group of zombie-like humanoids living in a town known as Vulture Gulch, or SCP-3885. SCP-3885-01 are extremely strong and durable and are capable of speech but are not very intelligent. They spend most of their time smoking tobacco and attempting to construct crazy vehicles.

The mayor of SCP-3885, Joey Fucknuts, is the main character of a series of tales where he escapes from SCP-3885 to explore the world.

---

• Achievements in Ignorance: They manage to set a rock on fire. They consider this a success.
• Alternate History: The Vulture Gulch Mine they live near is a uranium mine instead of a gold mine. Vulture Gulch was abandoned in 1973 due to buildup of radon gas coming from the mine instead of being abandoned in 1942 as a casualty of the gold rush.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Most of their vehicle builds look awesome or have over-the-top functions, but tend to break apart easily, explode, or just flat-out cannot work.
• Bungling Inventor: They're enthusiastic but hopelessly incompetent mechanical engineers who devote their lives to building experimental vehicles that always seem to fail spectacularly.
• Cool Car: They try to build these, but they're lucky if they just get a pile of useless parts.
• Dark Is Not Evil: They're known to make threats to get more car parts, but they've never actually hurt anybody, and they're fine with the Foundation sealing them up behind a concrete barrier as long as the Foundation keeps providing them with parts.
• The Ditz: The spend all of their time building or altering vehicles, which almost always fail because they don't know anything about mechanical engineering. A conversation between two shows that they don't know much about anything else, either.
• Elemental Punch: Joey is able to perform a highly destructive flaming punch when he is mad enough.
• Expy: They're based off of the typical villains from Mad Max, though they're more interested in building cars than the Rape, Pillage, and Burn.
• Incendiary Exponent: They like adding flamethrowers to their cars, which tends to lead to creations that work better as bombs.
• Made of Iron: Setting yourself on fire or driving your car into another are just fun ways for them to pass the time.
• Our Zombies Are Different: Despite looking like decayed, desiccated corpses, they somehow are Made of Iron and are extremely strong, but they are also quite stupid.
• Rule of Cool: Their main goal is to build the coolest vehicles they can think of.
• Silly Spook: They are zombies that spend all their time smoking tobacco and trying and failing to build vehicles and despite threatening people, they never actually deliberately hurt anyone.
• Super-Strength: They are way stronger than normal humans. They can shape metal using only their fists.
• The World Is Just Awesome: Joey has this reaction when he successfully builds a plane and gets to see the world outside of Vulture Gulch.

SCP- 3999 — Researcher Talloran and The Being

SCP-3999 - I Am At The Center of Everything That Happens To Me

James Martin Talloran, an SCP Foundation researcher that finds themself subjected to the whims of SCP-3999, a sadistic Reality Warper with no consistency, and LordStonefish, a struggling author who couldn't figure what to write.

A list of Researcher Talloran's appearances can be found here.

---

Tropes associated with Researcher Talloran:

• Bored with Insanity: Talloran admits that for the first million years or so, he legitimately was broken down several times; it's just that even millions of years of torture eventually becomes nothing new if it goes on for long enough.
  "I am numb to your bullshit, because here's the thing about horror and weirdness: the more you reveal of it, the less effect it has. I am sick of your horror. I am sick of you."
• Determinator: After millions of years of torture unfolding from his perspective, he not only keeps his sanity, but actively continues to fight against his captor the entire time. In the SCP Foundation universe, where people lose their sanity as a result of being merely tortured by paranormal entities for decades, Talloran's sheer resilience is a remarkable thing in the Foundation universe. Though there's also a deconstruction, see Bored with Insanity above.
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: Talloran brings reality back into order for a while, then conducts an interview with SCP-3999 and proceeds to mock it for repeatedly torturing him through exceedingly cruel and stupid methods.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Talloran actually overcomes his captor, ending the continuous rewriting of reality, at the cost of his own life.
• Dude, Not Funny!: Researcher Talloran's view on everything happening to him. He does not appreciate the moniker of "3D printer."
• Heroic Sacrifice Researcher Talloran succeeds in terminating SCP-3999, but dies doing so.
• Living Macguffin: Researcher Talloran is heavily connected to SCP-3999. It is indicated SCP-3999 has been tormenting him for (from his perspective) millions of years. And of course, SCP-3999 is the author struggling to find some situation to put Talloran in prior to the SCP-3000 contest.
• Plot Bunny: SCP-3999 was written because the author just couldn't get the character Talloran out of their head. It gnawed at them until they ended up writing SCP-3999.

Tropes associated with SCP-3999:

• Author Avatar: SCP-3999 is a representation of LordStonefish as he tries to write SCP-3999.
• Author Powers: Extensively uses them to torture researcher Talloran.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: The further into the entry one goes, the more explicit it becomes that SCP-3999 is Stonefish getting fed up with trying to write the article and the SCP community as a whole. For example:
  All personnel who work with SCP-3999 are to be reminded that^note The following text is strikethroughed it is a fictional entity written by a biologically male human, in his late teens, of Jewish and Irish descent, on his spring break, for a community of loser horror writers who have stolen far too much of his time away and fight like children over left wing politics in the chatroom and also
• Creator Breakdown: SCP-3999 is the writer going through a breakdown and suffering writer's block as they try to write SCP-3999. Stonefish would later confirm that he basically quit the SCP fandom for several months after he finished writing the entry because he was becoming unhealthily addicted to investing himself in escapism and ignoring reality.invoked
• Creator Career Self-Deprecation: Being an avatar of the author, the story ends with Talloran laying into what a self-aggrandizing loser SCP-3999 is and how much it's wasting both his and its own time with the continual reality rewrites all in some desperate attempt at shock value by torturing a random researcher.
• Madness Mantra: "Only only only only only only only only only only only ..."
• Reality Warper: SCP-3999 causes reality to break down and warp into all kinds of different horrifying situations centered around Researcher Talloran.

Series V

Warning: Due to the nature of the article associated with the wandering wood, coupled with the formatting of this site, the entry contains unmarkable spoilers.

The Nameless Fae

[REDACTED PER PROTOCOL 4000-ESHU] - Taboo

• Abusive Precursors: Possibly; if these are the same Fae as spoken of in SCP-1000, then these are the same Fae who tormented the Children of the Night before they were eventually overthrown.
• Affably Evil: "Evil" is kind of a stretch, but the lagomorphic lorekeeper who Dr. Japers talks to is an extremely polite chap-he also tricks Dr. Japers into letting him steal his name so he can get back to his old home on Earth and reveal the backstory of the garden of bizarre wonders and terrors.
• Body Horror: Referring to the forest with no name and those who dwell within using a consistent name has resulted in various unpleasant effects, such as the development of feathers and pollen sacs in those affected, as well as becoming fused or switched with the entities that reside in the location where names are forbidden. Possibly subverted, as it also seems like it allows the wood-bound name-thirsty to steal your name and escape with a Perception Filter. The "people" could really be escaped anomalous denizens who have always looked like that.
• Colorblind Mode: As an out-of-universe Anti-Frustration Feature for colorblind readers, there's an alternate form of the article that instead uses varying font sizes and typefaces, allowing those readers to read the article while still getting the full effect.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Because anything associated with otherworldly can't be referred to by any name, they get other descriptors, which are colored to make it easier for the reader to pick up on what is being referred to; Green is the forest itself, red is the inhabitants therein, and pink is used for any specific individual.
• The Dog Bites Back: The dwellers in myth inside the forest outside normative space are not happy with the Foundation's attempted genocide and desire vengeance. One of them even manages to successfully escape and enact their revenge by stealing Dr. Japers' name/identity.
• Easter Egg: Activating color-blind accessibility mode sends you to an offset page. You may notice that the offset is 2. If you change it to 1, it reveals a transcript discussing the hidden consequences of wiping out the Fey. Changing it to 3 sends you to an adult parody version of the page that references the Furry Fandom.
• Eldritch Location: Expeditions into the anomalous location have resulted in vastly different routes each time, with sections of the main road that should overlap or intersect not doing so.
• Etiquette Nazi: The Foundation has a very specific set of rules for accessing the unnamable land and communicating with the beings living in the woods to be strictly followed; failure to do so leads to bad things happening.
• The Faceless: A native humanoid entity pictured at the top of the article resembles a young woman with no facial features. The article mentions that despite this, the entity resembles a college student who had accidentally triggered a nomenclative containment breach after receiving a book about the strange place in the chimney from a member of the Wanderer's Library.
• The Fair Folk: The strange inhabitants of the land beyond the hidden well are its last survivors.
• Genocide Backfire: A hidden page reveals that the near extermination of the Fey greatly increased the amount of anomalous activity in the world. The reasons for this are compared to removing a species from an ecosystem.
• Grand Theft Me: Apparently the fate of Dr. Japers on his third expedition to the wood of the strange ones after the rabbit-headed man he had met twice before referred to Japers as "fellow scholar" three times. The identity-stealing entity then leaves the unfortunate doctor now believed to be a rabbit-person to his fate in the realm of the nameless folk and escapes to the outside world. Played with, as the scholar who called the traveler his fellow apparently didn't steal Dr. Japers' body, but rather his identity.
• Homage: The entire SCP article is one to Alice in Wonderland, complete with a major character that has the head of a rabbit.
• Horror Hates a Rulebreaker:
  • A very important thing to remember when dealing with these rule-bound woods. First and foremost: No naming things. Don't refer to anything, especially yourself, by a proper name. Don't give anything a nickname. Don't accept any given titles, and if any statement is made referring to you by a nickname or title, ignore it. Descriptions are fine, but each can only be used once before they count as a name.
  • There are several general rules: don't eat anything that you didn't bring with you, don't bring a firearm, enter residences only after knocking at the door, be careful to remember any dreams you might have, always be polite and never lie, only aid natives who appear threatening or hungry, always return favors, never discard a gift, never accept offered lodgings, and never tell anyone where you're going.
  • Procedure 4000-HALLOWAY has three variants, denoted by three sets of calls and responses that must be spoken prior to entry to the place beyond names.
    • Those who get the first variant must never accept or directly handle anything of value, which can mean both currency and useful items.
    • Those who get the second variant must not respond to any affection from native entities.
    • Those who get the third variant must not do anything physically comforting or luxurious; no playing, no drinking anything but water, no smoking, et cetera.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters: The Gentry's entire hostility is due to the Foundation's own trigger-happiness, and the Brown Note nature of the land whose name was stolen may be in fact a way for the O5 Council to whitewash history.
• Jerkass Has a Point: The peculiar folk within the mysterious land with no names may be terrifying and alien, but they have every right to be furious at the Foundation for having committed genocide against them.
• Land of Faerie: To put it as laconically as possible, "Taboo" is a refugee camp inhabited by The Fair Folk, who had fled the Earth when the Foundation committed genocide against them after the "War with the Factory."
• Meaningful Name: The ritual needed to access the unusual terrain is called "Protocol 4000-Halloway." "Halloway" is a surname derived from the Old English words for "sunken path," which is what most of the land where speech is deadly resembles.
• Never My Fault: The informative fellow in SCP-6666 recounts the history of the goddess Titania and her Children of the Night to a Foundation researcher. According to it, the Children were created by Titania, but mostly kept to themselves, until they attacked their victims and nearly wiped them out. The Foundation digs around a bit and discovers that the Children were created by Titania at the behest of the nameless folk, who were her favored children at the time. After the Children had fulfilled their purpose in destroying Adam el Asem's kingdom, the Fae stuffed them away and ignored them. Eventually, Titania took pity on the Children and turned against the Titania's once favoured, making the Children of the Night her new favored mortals and aiding them in destroying their former masters. The avian gentleman notably avoids mentioning any part of the story that would imply that his kin are in any way responsible.
• Painting the Medium: A bit literally, as the nomenclature hazard forces them to identify subjects via color rather than anything resembling a consistent name.
• The Scottish Trope: The article that won the 4000 contest could very well be called The Scottish SCP if the rule about names hadn't been so strict as to exclude consistent euphemisms.
• Speak of the Devil: Using any consistent nomenclature for the anomalous forest or its inhabitants in either speech or writing invariably leads to bad results. An associated joke article shows just how infuriating a process it was for researchers to just type up a first sentence.
• Sophisticated as Hell: The nature of the land that forms the subject of the article leads to a smorgasbord of descriptions ranging from the very verbose to Buffy Speak.
• Stay on the Path: The only way for visitors to meaningfully traverse the forest hidden behind an old well is to use a well-beaten footpath that will eventually return you to where you started. Temporarily leaving the path is fine, but you will need to return if you actually want to go anywhere.
• Take Away Their Name: When the forest dwellers had their names stolen after being forced into the nameless woods, they took it upon themselves that any consistent terminology used to describe them would become their new name. Due to this, the Foundation has to constantly use different adjectives and descriptors when referring to the same thing multiple times, and all of the image captions are extremely generic rather than referring to what's being shown as anything unique.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Kind Folk understandably want revenge against the Foundation and to get back home to Earth. They are also willing to cause quite a lot of pain getting there.
• Written by the Winners: According to the gentleman with the leporine visage, many of the faeries had originally fought on the Foundation's side during the war with the Factory, and only some of them later ravaged the early Foundation. The Foundation proceeded to commit genocide against all of them, and this "minor fact" has been omitted by Foundation records.

SCP- 4028 — Don Quixote

SCP-4028 - La Historia de Don Quixote de la Mancha

---

• Beyond the Impossible: The second iteration of the article depicts Don Quixote as performing multiple tasks which are considered either utterly impossible or insanely difficult, including battling SCP-076 to a standstill and actually slaying SCP-682. Of course, this is played with in that none of it is actually happening; these are simply stories that Quixote inserts into the Foundation database as he continues on his real mission, which is to rescue the real Don Quixote- otherwise known as Dr. Menard- from "captivity" with the Foundation.
• Black-and-White Insanity: Fred finds out the hard way that Don Quixote is not a man that does "complicated." To him, you're either a paragon of knightly virtue, or you're an obstacle in his way. Pierre Menard, the Foundation's head of the Pataphysics Department and expert on Don Quixote, gives up on containing him because there's no reasoning with the guy. The real reason is that Alfonso has crossed the Despair Event Horizon upon realizing how hollow his life is and doesn't think he's worth "rescuing" by Sancho.
• Crossover: It's kind of like an SCP Foundation/Don Quixote fanfiction.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: It's Don Quixote, the madman who fights windmills. How dangerous could he be? Well, he's a metafictional anomaly classified as Keter, for starters. When he invades the Foundation's database, he singlehandedly unveils SCP-055, fights Able to a draw, and kills 682 (again, in the database only). To put it in perspective, Fred is more afraid of this guy than he is of the anafabula responsible for SCP-2747, an anomaly that eats narratives.
• Deliberate Values Dissonance: He inherits the values of Don Quixote, which were deliberately antiquated even at the time. He believes that the benign witchcraft in Harry Potter is Satanic, and seems to have a great dislike for pornography.
• Deadpan Snarker: Don Quixote's exploits in fictionland are commented on in the footnotes by an individual - Dr. Pierre Menard - who criticizes all of Quixote's actions both as an SCP and in his original story. The footnotes even outright call him an imbecile. This makes sense when it's revealed Menard is the real Don Quixote.
• Died in Your Arms Tonight: Implied to happen to Sancho in the arms of Dr. Menard / Alonso Quixano at the end of the second iteration. He ultimately lives, as the final iteration mentions two unknown windmill assailants.
• Fixer Sue: In-universe, this is how he operates: he walks into the story, resolves all problems, and rewrites the narrative to fit with his sense of good storytelling, often sticking on obvious morality parables.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: SCP-4028 is capable of drawing on commonalities between works to basically jump between them; as Fred puts it, "his fourth wall breaks have fourth wall breaks." In the later portions of the second iteration and in the final iteration, SCP-4028 has finally made the jump into the Foundation's reality... although, thankfully, they've contented themselves with assaulting wind turbines.
• Gary Stu: Invoked in-universe; Don Quixote (or rather, Sancho) is a sentient fictional character with the power to insert himself into other works of literature, where he usually singlehandedly resolves the plot. The second iteration has him do this with the Foundation database itself, inserting stories where he overcomes various anomalies that the real Foundation has struggled with for years.
• Old Shame:invoked Menard regards his time as Quixote as this, given how thoroughly he criticizes himself in the footnotes. Though in the end, he goes back to tilting at windmills - but with a certain amount of self-awareness.
• Shout-Out: Dr. Pierre Menard is named after a character from one of Jorge Luis Borges's short stories. Specifically, "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote", which is about a man trying to recreate Don Quixote's story. This is a clue to Dr. Menard's identity.
• Tomato Surprise: The fictional character who has been infecting the Foundation database is actually not Don Quixote, but rather Sancho taking on his identity; the true Don Quixote is actually Dr. Pierre Menard, head of the Foundation's Pataphysics Department.
• Windmill Crusader: The Windmill Crusader. After being "rescued" by Sancho, Menard/Alonso settles down around La Mancha with him and they spend their days attacking windmills, with their "reasoning" being cited in a footnote as "they might be giants." Old habits die hard.

SCP- 4051 — Rainer Miller

SCP-4051 - Your Friendly Neighborhood Keter

Designated SCP-4051, Rainer Miller is a young man with the ability to generate portals to a dimension that contains anything he can think of, including abstract things.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Ambiguously Evil: By the end of the article, it's implied a combination of mistreatment and learning the true nature of his powers has lead Rainer to turn against the Foundation
• Mundane Utility: Upon Foundation request, he used his powers to collect common objects like bleach and books.

SCP- 4494 — The Spectre

SCP-4494 - The Spectre

SCP-4494 immediately prior to demanifestation.

"Denizens of the night! Your time has come, for now you face-THE SPECTER!"

SCP-4494, calling itself The Spectre, is a mysterious entity claiming to be the embodiment of fighting crime who manifests at night to intervene in various law enforcement activities in which the criminal element has the advantage to aid the law enforcement. However should SCP-4494 somehow be prevented from aiding the law enforcement group, the very concept of fighting crime will start to break down.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Anthropomorphic Personification: He is the physical embodiment of crimefighting.
• Big Damn Heroes: Will only appear in a law enforcement activity where the criminal element has the upper hand to turn the tables on the criminals.
• Cops Need the Vigilante: When the Foundation has him contained, it results in a series of anomalous events that create an uptick in New York City crime, the Foundation has no choice but to classify him as "Archon" and allows him to roam free.
• The Cowl: The Foundation's take on the classic anti-heroic archetype. He often shows up to help pin down cops and dresses in all black. While certainly friendly to civilians and law enforcement, his black shading and violent tendencies towards the criminals he stops qualify him as this.
• Dark Is Not Evil: He appears almost entirely black, but is a crime-fighting vigilante who aids law enforcement agencies in their time of need.
• Entertainingly Wrong: Thinks that the Foundation is a law enforcement agency, even though some of their more amoral acts (like forcibly applying amnestics to witnesses of SCPs) are very very illegal.
• Fanboy: Acts as one to superheroes in general. He acts like a Large Ham while fighting crime and admits to playing superhero video games in his spare time.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: Uses his fists in addition to firearms when fighting criminals.
• Humanoid Abomination: He's a Living Shadow that looks like the silhouette of a man in a trenchcoat. He is capable of teleporting to any location on the planet and has hand-to-hand combat skills so impressive, that he is classified as "Archon" because it would be worse off for the world if they contained him than if he were roaming free. Any documents about him immediately changed so that they would be written in a striking font similar to what you would find in a comic book.
• Nice Guy: He's surprisingly cordial to a group of MTF members he aids despite his terrifying visage.
• Painting the Medium: One of his anomalous effects is that all mentions of his name can only be spoken or written in a specific way. This effect only stops when he drops his Large Ham character.
• Shout-Out:
  • He's a big one to The Shadow, down to them being dark vigilantes and the name of two of MTF Sigma-12's members in his log is Allard and Cranston (The Shadow's alter-ego is Kent Allard; in some other stories is Lamont Cranston).
  • He's also a relatively Lighter and Softer expy for DC Comics The Spectre.
• Vigilante Man: He's the physical embodiment of fighting crime and he takes the form of a classic vigilante-type hero.
• Two-Fisted Tales: While he certainly qualifies as a Superhero, his hat and Conspicuous Trenchcoat brings to mind older Pulp-heroes.

SCP- 4666 — The Yule Man

SCP-4666 - The Yule Man

Possible photograph of SCP-4666, recovered from a cell phone at the location of Weissnacht Event #057130.

"When you can't make the toys, you become the toys."

SCP-4666 is a strange humanoid entity of unknown origin. It is known for traveling around the world during the holiday season, killing families and kidnapping children.

---

• Ancient Evil: Historical documents have been found confirming that it existed as early as the 1st century B.C. in Scandinavia. This would mean that he is actually older than the historical Saint Nicholas.
• Ax-Crazy: The brutal ways in which he slaughters families and tortures children to death makes him incredibly dangerous.
• Bad Boss: Is he ever. The children he kidnaps are forced to work tirelessly, every day and every night, making toys. If they stop, even to rest, he punishes them through violent means — hitting them, burning them, biting off their fingers, cooking them up and eating them… — and whenever one of them physically can't make toys anymore, he commands the other children to convert them into toys themselves.
• Bad Santa: A combination of the worst parts of Santa and Krampus. It kidnaps children, forces them to make toys (out of other children), and ritualistically kills families.
• Beneath the Earth: SCP-4666's lair and sweatshop are presumably located somewhere deep in the planet's crust, according to the only survivor of its attacks who ended up mutilated into a crude life-sized doll.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: It usually torture-murders families and forces the youngest members of them into slavery somewhere, but sometimes it does absolutely nothing other than giving gifts (albeit incredibly macabre ones made out of people). The gift recipients presumably qualified as "nice" according to whatever criteria that it uses to judge the people that it stalks. It is currently unknown what constitutes as "naughty" or "nice".
• Child Eater: One of the ways he punishes children who don't work hard enough for his liking is to cook them and eat them.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: The Yule Man gruesomely tortures its victims in drawn-out, ritualistic ways before murdering them. Each member of a given family is tortured in the same way, but different families get different treatment. The Yule Man also makes sure that its victims are killed in view of each other.
• Crappy Homemade Gift: When It approaches a child it deems "nice", it personally hands them a gift before leaving without incident. These gifts tend to be crude, poorly constructed, and made with the body parts of human children.
• Creepy Souvenir: His underground lair is littered with the bones of his many, many victims.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: The families the Yule Man targets suffer this, being murdered after protracted and horrible torture.
• Dead Guy on Display: After torturing a family to death, it will arrange the corpses or their dismembered parts in strange configurations that are implied to be part of eldritch rituals.
• Don't You Like It?: In 15% of Weissnacht Events, SCP-4666 doesn't kidnap the child and torture their family in horrible ways, but instead gives them a "gift." These 4666-A instances include a drum made from human skin and tendons, a knife made from bone, a "doll" (see the Nightmare Fuel tab for further details on that) and a ball made from a head wrapped in even more human skin. All of these raw materials came from children, by the way.
• Evil Is Deathly Cold: He only attacks during the dead of winter, when a heavy blizzard is occurring.
• Evil Old Folks: The Yule Man physically resembles an emaciated elderly man and is, at the very least, thousands of years old.
• Evil Smells Bad: On the three nights preceding the night of SCP-4666's actual attack, an extremely unpleasant odor can be noticed in the building it's targeting.
• The Fair Folk: Theorists claim he is one specimen of SCP-4000, and even the Evil Counterpart (or dark side) of SCP-5925.
• Family Extermination: Subjects the entire family of the child it stalks to a gruesome ritualistic killing, before taking the child with it.
• Fingore: Bites some of his victims' fingers off when punishing them for not working enough.
• Forced Creativity: The modus operandi of SCP-4666 is to stalk a family that is isolated from a city or large town during Christmas and New Years, making its presence more known as the days go by. At New Years Day, SCP-4666 either delivers a crude Christmas/New Years Gift made out of human remains or, more commonly, break in and kill the entire family gruesomely, only saving the youngest child (aged between 3-8) with the intent of kidnapping them and imprisoning them in its underground layer to force the child into making toys made out of the remains of human children solely for its own amusement and entertainment. Furthermore, the child is forced to keep creating with no pause and if tired or unable to create, SCP-4666 would have the child be dissected and killed to be used as additional material for the toys.
• Full-Frontal Assault: For some reason, the Yule Man goes naked at all times, even in snow and especially when attacking people. It's as squicky as it sounds.
• Gorn: One of the most brutal and graphically violent entries on the site, and that's saying a lot.
• Gratuitous German: The Foundation refers to its kidnappings as "Weissnacht Events". Weissnacht is German for "white night," referring to the fact that the Yule Man only attacks when it's snowing heavily.
• Grim Up North: It has only been detected in the Northern Hemisphere, never being detected beyond 40°N latitude.
• Groin Attack: A starkly non-comedic example of the trope, since SCP-4666 is not above torturing people's groin region during Weissnacht Events. This was proven during the Egilsstaðir, Iceland killings of 1996, where nine people in one household (two parents and seven children) had large amounts of skin flayed from the general area thereof.
• Hillbilly Horrors: Of the "hillbillies as victims" flavor. SCP-4666 prefers to attack in isolated, snowy areas.
• Human Resources: The "toys" it give to "nice" kids are made from the "naughty" children it kidnaps. Examples include:
  • A drum made from stretched child skin.
  • A bouncy ball made from many layers of human skin wrapped tightly around a child's skull.
  • A wooden box containing small human-like figurines made from the phalangeal bones and tendons of human children.
• Humanoid Abomination: It looks only vaguely humanoid, described as an extremely tall, elderly male with white hair.
• Human Sacrifice: SCP-4666's murders are always done in a ritualistic fashion. This opens up the possibility that the being may be an ancient deity from a time when human sacrifice was common or a servant of such deities.
• I'm a Humanitarian:
  • The corpses of one family tortured and killed by it had hundreds of bite marks inflicted on their bodies; another had large pieces of skin flayed from their backs, necks, and groins, which were then partially eaten.
  • According to the only known survivor, consumption is one of the punishments for children who don't make enough toys, alongside being beaten or burned by SCP-4666. The other is worse.
• Invincible Boogeymen: It can't be stopped, it can't be fought, and to date, none of the Foundation's teams have succeeded in catching up with it yet; for good measure, the Yule Man prefers attacking isolated rural locations in the dead of night, meaning that there's nobody around to help you. If you're a member of the family targeted, the only thing you can do is run... and that's only worked once, for one person.
• Lean and Mean: Precisely described as having "an extremely emaciated appearance", and more than capable of being an extraordinarily sadistic torture-murderer.
• Literal Split Personality: Implied to have been part of SCP-5925 ("The Holly King"), prior to losing a number of his names.
• Made a Slave: The fate of the children it takes. They are taken to some dark cold cave beneath the earth, forced to make toys for the rest of their lives until they are either eaten or turned into the materials used to make them.
• Nightmarish Factory: The Yule Man forces children to make toys (from other children) in a pretty awful sweatshop.
• Number of the Beast: Part of its SCP designation number. It couldn't be more appropriate.
• Offscreen Teleportation: "Though the nature and extent of its anomalous properties remain uncertain, SCP-4666 appears capable of instantaneous or near-instantaneous travel to any location north of 40°N latitude, and possibly to any location on Earth."
• Really 700 Years Old: The Yule Man has been active for a long time. The earliest report in the article dates back to the late 1400s, and there is some evidence to suggest that he has been active since the first century BCE.
• Religious Horror: Of the Pagan variety, being heavily inspired by many of the ancient European deities that helped create what modern society would recognize as Santa Claus.
• Riddle for the Ages: How does it decide which children, by its standards, are "naughty" or "nice"?
• Sadist: Whilst he never speaks, his actions display a clear sadistic streak, best shown in his treatment of the children he enslaves, forcing the kidnapped children to build his horrible toys, punishing them by mutilation or death if they try to rest.
• Santabomination: A malicious, eldritch, and horrifying creature associated with winter who tends to either kidnap children or give them crude gifts made from the remains of children he kidnapped.
• Santa's Sweatshop: After butchering a family and leaving the youngest child alive, SCP-4666 will take said child to his underground lair, filled with children who are forced to make gruesome toys from the parts of other murdered children.
• Serial Killer: Ultimately what this thing is, with or without the anomalous elements. It will inflict incapacitating injuries to family members while they are sleeping, then herd them into a single room of the dwelling where it will proceed to kill them in view of each other. The method of killing varies with the event, and will typically be preceded by some form of torture, which appears to serve a ritualistic purpose. On top of that, it was even partially inspired by the Real Life Hinterkaifeck murder case.
• Sinister Nudity: Always naked, even when encountered in freezing weather, and commonly operates by stalking isolated families throughout Christmastime before brutally murdering the ones who don't measure up to his mysterious standards - and kidnapping select children to serve as his slaves.
• Snow Means Death: The Yule Man's slaughters only happen in the winter when it's snowing heavily, and only to families with young children, living in isolated rural areas.
• Spree Killer: It usually stalks multiple families each year. On the final night, it travels across the world to each house it has staked out and slaughters the inhabitants.
• Super-Strength: Implied. In one of its massacres it tore a limb from each victim, apparently with its bare hands.
• Workaholic: The children that SCP-4666 abducts and forces to make toys for are not allowed even a moments rest, otherwise he would use them as raw material.
• Would Hurt a Child: SCP-4666 mostly tortures them to death, but takes one from each family as a slave to make toys out of human remains. Any child who also fails to make enough toys is used as raw materials.

SCP-4666-A-0960

SCP-4666-A-0960 is Ekaterina Morozova, a young Russian girl who was abducted by SCP-4666 in 2016. She was discovered after having been made into a life-sized doll and given to a family in Alaska. When she was found to be still alive, Foundation agents were dispatched to interview her.

---

• And I Must Scream: Her lips were sewn shut with thread made of human tendons. Even with the thread removed, she could only speak rudimentary Russian and some other language the Foundation didn't recognize.
• Covered with Scars: Her skin was covered in burns and scars, as punishment from SCP-4666.
  SCP-4666-A-0960: If you don’t make the toys, you don’t eat. Don’t stop making the toys, don’t fall asleep. Or he hurt you. He hit you, or he burn you...Or he bite off your fingers. Or he cook you on the fire in his room and eat you.
• Death of a Child: She succumbed to her injuries 18 hours after being discovered despite receiving immediate medical treatment, but lived long enough to give a Foundation agent crucial information about what happens to children abducted by SCP-4666.
• Eye Scream: Both of her eyes were removed and replaced with crudely painted pebbles.
• Fate Worse than Death: SCP-4666-A-0960 was a young child tortured and twisted into a crude, life-sized doll, all while still living and breathing. Thankfully, she was able to finally succumb to death.
• Fingore: Three of her fingers had been cut off.
• Flaying Alive: Her entire scalp was removed and replaced with the scalp of a different girl who had long, blond, braided hair.
• Harmful to Minors: Does not even begin to cover what happened to her.
• Sleep Deprivation Punishment: According to her, children abducted by SCP-4666 and forced to make toys were punished if they tried to sleep.
• Sole Survivor: Her parents and older sisters were tortured to death by SCP-4666 before she was kidnapped and forced to make toys in his lair with other children.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After roughly two years of being forced to produce toys alongside the other children in SCP-4666's lair, she fell ill and could no longer work. As a result, SCP-4666 forced her friends to mutilate her and turn her into a doll.

SCP- 4768 — Ulysses B. Donkman

SCP-4768 - The Tall Tales of Ulysses B. Donkman

SCP-4768 is a man known as Ulysses B. Donkman with the head of a donkey who is a legendary hero in parts of the southern United States, known for pulling off a number of feats. His main ability is perception alteration, which he uses to appear as a normal human.

As list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• The Ageless: He does not age and was born sometime in the early 1800's.
• Faking the Dead: When an assassin is sent after him he uses his abilities to fake his death in order to find out who sent the assassin.
• Folk Hero: He is a legendary hero in parts of the southern United States. He is the subject of a number of stories about his impossible deeds, which may actually be true if he is a Reality Warper.
• Glamour Failure: His illusion powers don't effect camera recordings.
• Good Old Fisticuffs: He usually fights with his bare hands. He pulls out a slingshot if the enemy is too far away.
• Hammerspace: He can always pull out whatever tool he needs from his jacket.
• Impossible Shadow Puppets: he displays the ability to do this as a way to communicate when there is a Language Barrier.
• The Münchausen: He likes to tell Tall Tales about himself and his adventures.
• Non-Human Head: He has the head of a donkey.
• Master of Illusion: He can make people see him as an ordinary human and visually alter his environment.
• Reality Warper: invokedWord of God confirms that he is in fact a reality warper, but he isn't aware that he is one. His abilities are limited by how he thinks that they work.
• Sibling Rivalry: He has an evil brother named Aloysius.
• Strong as They Need to Be: Because he isn't aware of his nature as a Reality Warper, he will be just strong and fast enough to solve whatever situation he gets into.

SCP- 4999 — Somebody to Watch Over Us

SCP-4999 - Somebody to Watch Over Us

SCP-4999, circa 1973. Photo taken by professional photographer Gustav Bürger, three minutes before his death.

SCP-4999 is an entity heavily implied to be a Grim Reaper that resembles a well-dressed man. He appears beside those who are dying alone without anyone by their side and comforts them before their inevitable death by offering them one last cigarette.

---

• Dark Is Not Evil: Appears dressed in a dark suit, but he is actually a calm and soothing presence that helps ease people into death. His containment class is Keter, but the risk he poses is only Notice, the lowest possible.
• Don't Fear the Reaper: He's a Grim Reaper who specifically materializes for those with no loved ones or other close-by individuals to comfort them as they die. Those he appears to are never seen to recoil from or attempt to resist his touch.
• Dying Alone: SCP-4999's purpose is to defy this trope. It has a higher chance of appearing to those who are more likely to die alone, including those who have no surviving family/friends, are non-religious, have no current strong emotional connections with others, and/or have little to no fame or fortune to call their own.
• Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: Downplayed — he is less likely to appear to a dying person who has committed multiple violent crimes. While he doesn't harm them, his lack of presence implies that he feels they don't deserve even the small comfort of not dying alone.
• Everyone Has Standards: SCP-4999 is notably less likely to appear beside those who have a history of violent crime.
• Four Is Death: In one story the Small Death from SCP-1440 says that he's their youngest brother, making him literally the fourth death.
• Good Smoking, Evil Smoking: Whenever he appears to someone who's dying, he'll have a pack of cigarettes on him. He'll then offer the dying person a cigarette, and he'll let them smoke it if they accept it. If they don't, he'll just smoke it himself.
• The Grim Reaper: SCP-4999 is essentially Death, albeit appearing to help ease those alone and unloved when they die into the afterlife.
• Nice Guy: The only thing he does is manifest around people who are dying alone and serve as a companion for them before they pass. While he's classed as Keter, that's only because it's impossible to contain him and hide his presence. He's otherwise totally harmless.
• One Last Smoke: His main interaction with the dying person is to pull out a pack of cigarettes and offer one to them. If the dying person accepts it, after they pass on and he de-manifests, the cigarette will be the only remaining sign of his presence.
• Psychopomp: Befitting the Grim Reaper motif, SCP-4999 stays with the dying until they finally pass.
• Sharp-Dressed Man: He always appears dressed in a snappy black business suit.
• Time Abyss: The Foundation has found records detailing the SCP and figures similar to them going back several thousand years.
• The Voiceless: He never says a word, simply remaining to silently watch over the dying until they expire, and no one attempts to engage him in conversation.
• You Are Not Alone: His very purpose is ensuring those with no one to comfort them when they die still have someone.

Series VI

SCP- 5056 — Phil and Doug

SCP-5056 - The Constant Companions

SCP-5056-A/"Doug"

SCP-5056-B/Philip Deering

SCP-5056-A is a Mirror Monster who follows and constantly needles SCP-5056-B, a janitor named Philip E. Deering, over his failures. SCP-5056-A follows Deering on any reflective surface and, if separated, will emit a tone of 119 decibels constantly, which can be heard throughout Site-43.

A list of Philip Eugene Deering's appearances can be found here.

---

Tropes associated with SCP-5056 in general:

• You Are Number 6: This is always played straight for SCP-5056-A. For SCP-5056-B, this is only applied within the SCP-5056 documents; the containment procedures explicitly state that SCP-5056-B (Philip E. Deering) mustn't be told of his SCP status.

Tropes exclusive to SCP-5056-A/"Doug":

• Eye Scream: Separate Philip from it or threaten his life badly enough, it's possible it will show up in one of your eyes, which can cause severe enough ocular damage that your eye can get injured beyond repair. Dr. Falkirk found this out the hard way whilst testing the necessity of SCP-5056-B in containing it.
• Hell Is That Noise: If Philip is separated from "Doug", it will emit a constant tone of 119 decibels, which can be heard throughout Site-43.
• Humanoid Abomination: It's hairless, has matte grey skin, has scars on its "face" that look like a pair of eyes and a mouth, only appears in reflective surfaces, can degrade any optical equipment and media on which it appears, and if it shows up on an eye, serious ocular injury can occur.
• In-Series Nickname: Philip calls it "Doug".
• Mascot: Is seen by many of the personnel of Site-43 as an unofficial one for the Site itself, because of the necessity for Philip to perform janitorial duties in the commonly-traveled Site sections, combined with the horrific noise that occurs if it's is separated from him.
• Mirror Monster: It can only appear on reflective surfaces, which include mirrors, reflective pipes, lenses, and sometimes eyes. It primarily prefers to show up in glass.

Tropes exclusive to SCP-5056-B/Philip Deering:

• Survivor Guilt: He suffers from guilt over surviving the SCP-5243 containment breach that killed seven other people including his brother. SCP-5056-A needles him about it all the time.

SCP- 5242 / SCP-INTEGER — LOGICIAN

FILE — SCP-INTEGER

FOR YOUR CRIMES OF NAMING
THAT WHICH OUGHT NOT BE NAMED
YOU MUST ACCEPT THAT REALITY
DOESN'T ALWAYS MAKE SENSE

SCP-INTEGER is a HAZARD ENTITY, able to create new absolute truths in reality as it pleases. It uses this power to force THINGS to oversimplify themselves whenever it is referred to by a name that is not SCP-INTEGER, NAME, BEING, or ENTITY.

In reality, the ENTITY's true identity is LOGICIAN, the king of the place where the Fae have power over names. Though LOGICIAN only gets to affect the Foundation's world for two articles, it is instrumental to the Character Development of its first major victim, Dr. Placeholder McDoctorate.

---

• The Assimilator: SCP-INTEGER turns THINGS into instances of SCP-INTEGER-DIGIT, which have similar INFLUENCE.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: COLOR and COLOR denote identifiers concerning SCP-INTEGER and SCP-INTEGER-DIGIT respectively. Additionally, COLOR signifies the DANGER.
• Cosmic Retcon: SCP-INTEGER retroactively simplifies 'incorrect' designations and classifications of itself and instances of SCP-INTEGER-DIGIT.
• Disaster Dominoes: When LOGICIAN attacked Dr. Placeholder McDoctorate, it also affected a 4x4 Rubik's Cube in his possession. Though this wasn't its intent, all of Placeholder's counterparts in The Multiverse are so in sync with each other that the infinite set of cubes became the same cube across all universes, designated SCP-6416-CUBE, and the resulting synchronization become SCP-6416 itself. This eventually sets off a chain of predestined events that end in each Placeholder isolating their universe from the rest of reality, a fact that attracts the attention of the RCT-Δt subdivision of the Department of Temporal Anomalies due to said events being illegal per the 1981 Multi-Foundation Coalition Agreement. In one such universe, LOGICIAN reveals it knows about this and would find it more interesting if it changed the ending for the sake of a good story by killing Place and using semiohazards to render its non-existence a universal constant.
• Do Not Call Me "Paul": LOGICIAN is a valid name for the ENTITY, but it's pretty clear its ego prevents researchers from casually tossing it around anyways.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Played for horror; its weird obsession with names is easy to look past in its own document and is an amusing minor inconvenience in all other universes, but being able to alter the flow of information about reality is much more powerful than just a simple Perception Filter. As SCP-6416's world can attest, this ability has unlimited range and potential, and can seal off entire universes to effectively render them Ret-Gone.
• It's All About Me: The threat posed by LOGICIAN ultimately traces back to it being a self-centered ruler Drunk On Power. It makes itself known to the Foundation because Place dared to call it by its given name, it kills an alternate Place because it wants to be the star of the show, and it believes the existence of the anomalous justifies its egotistical behavior.
• Mind Screw: Due to the nature of its HAZARD, SCP-INTEGER poses CHALLENGE to understand and describe correctly.
• Perception Filter: How it alters reality. A sentient being comprehends reality in the form of information that needs to pass through a metaphysical filter, and LOGICIAN simply warps said filter so that the output is whatever they desire instead of, say, Placeholder McDoctorate's old name.
• Rage Against the Author: Implied when SCP-6416's world becomes Ret-Gone. Its powers work by distorting the flow of information about reality, it has a Sitcom Arch-Nemesis relationship with the Pataphysics Department, and narratives are in themselves "information about reality."
• Ret Conjuration: Its semiohazardous abilities have unlimited potential and aren't limited to just abstracting names and words. With enough focus, it was able to forbid The Multiverse from allowing the universe SCP-6416 takes place in to ever exist. After all, if you can't be seen by anyone anywhere at any time, do you even exist to begin with?
• Small Role, Big Impact: All versions of Dr. Placeholder McDoctorate start their character arcs being attacked by LOGICIAN and their name being changed to what it is now as a result. They eventually become experts in pataphysics and conceptual warfare because of this, culminating in the iteration that appears in the ADMONITION saga.
• Wham Line: Despite the COLORED terms, SCP-INTEGER doesn't seem to be connected with THE FOREST WITHOUT NAME ...until you read the PARABLE.

SCP- 5595 — Geoffery Quincy Harrison III

SCP-5595 - Geoffrey Quincy Harrison the Third: Site Director, Gumball Machine

SCP-5595 is a sapient gumball machine, capable of moving around on wheels and speaking English through a loudspeaker system resembling that of a rotary phone's. Answering to the name Geoffery Quincy Harrison III, he is loud, sarcastic, and incredibly rude, but has an inexplicable desire to help Site Director Paul Lague in his own way and an equally-baffling wealth of knowledge in mathematics and accounting. As a result, Lague has since made him the first test subject of the Integration Program, hiring Harrison as a consultant.

---

• Achievements in Ignorance: Harrison manages to be smarter than most mathematicians and accountants out of pure spite and without actually understanding anything he does to reach his conclusions.
• Bad Liar: His debut article shares continuity with SCP-5236, where the Arc Words "does the Black Moon howl?" are also a lie detector based on how the recipient responds. When Lague tries this on Harrison to verify the explanation for how he got here, he responds "THE MOON IS WHITE, DUMBASS."^note Strong negative responses to the question indicate the person is lying on purpose. What makes Harrison's response particularly ridiculous is that others busted for lying through this process normally need to have their responses analyzed like a poem, but in Harrison's case, his response is so unsubtle and inelegant that Lague doesn't think twice before dismissing him, not even bothering to consider why he's lying.
• Big Eater: It's suggested he wishes he could be one, as he thinks dietary substitutes (like cauliflower mash instead of potatoes) are equivalent to poison.
• Bizarre Alien Biology: He is biomechanical, as the gumballs inside his dome are supposed to be organs. It's not explained how the Foundation figured this out, only that Harrison considers their examinations very creepy.
• Competition Freak: Harrison is very uppity, and he reveals his accounting skills because of a burning desire to one-up "the nerds" so that they'd get kicked out of the department.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: In Plague's SCP-001 proposal, he's the one to tell Lague to get off his ass and find a pattern in the containment failures instead of wallowing in his own frustrations. While spite was certainly involved, Harrison also notes that Lague does deserve the closure as well.
• Mysterious Past: He claims a literal little birdie told him to go find Lague at Site-322 while Dr. Coix is interviewing him. However, Lague immediately confirms this is a lie.
• Right Under Their Noses: He often gets farther into Foundation sites than would normally be allowed because of a tendency to be mistaken for an in-house robotics project.

Series VII

SCP- 6118 — Blue-blooded

SCP-6118 – Blue-blooded

SCP-6118 is a carbon-based humanoid of extraterrestrial origin, who happens to possess blue blood that is capable of medical wonders. Because of this, the Foundation has used his blood in order to pursue questionable experiments, much to the alien’s discomfort.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Alien Blood: Exploited.
• Aliens Speaking English: Averted when the Foundation first discovered him, before eventually being played straight when he started learning English. 6118 learnt surprisingly quickly. This eventually becomes a consequence as seen in the interview logs.
• Florence Nightingale Effect: In the UnHuman canon, SCP-049 heals SCP-6118 from his injuries, causing him to fall in love.
• Idiot Hair: Has one in tiredsn0w’s drawings.
• Interspecies Romance: SCP-049 and SCP-6118 fall in love throughout the Médecin, Not Medicine Tales.
• Pointy Ears: His ears are pointed.
• Straight Gay: If the fact that he fell for 049 is any indication, he's attracted to men and has no stereotypical traits.

SCP- 6382 / PoI- 382 — Thilo Zwist

SCP-6382 - The Fire Breaks

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• The Atoner: His role in creating SCP-5382-C cures is due to him being guilty over creating SCP-5382-A.
• I Have Many Names: He's employed numerous aliases over the centuries.
• My God, What Have I Done?: His reaction to creating SCP-5382-A and -B, especially once he realized the extent -A had spread.
• The Power of Language: He can manipulate languages to create various anomalous effects through both magical and linguistic means.
• Really 700 Years Old: Born in 1622. He's not unageing - he was 22/23 when he created SCP-5382-A and -B, and had become an old man by the 1990s - but as far as the Foundation is concerned, he's functionally immortal.
• Sole Survivor: For all intents and purposes, he is the last remaining schriftsteller ("writer") following the massacre of the others in 1645 - while he's taken apprentices, he's almost always regretted it. In SCP-6382, he discovers the others survived the massacre using their powers, and he is not happy to learn this.

SCP- 6599 — HOGSLICE

SCP-6599 - HOGSLICE

SCP-6599-1, interrupting a live weather report to assault the broadcaster

SCP-6599 is a set of online accounts under the name HOGSLICE that post hostile, argumentative messages on message boards. When another user responds in a provocative manner, SCP-6599-1, an entity resembling that of Scott Rechsteiner, also known as Scott Steiner, will appear and assault the victim to the point of hospitalization before demanifesting.

A list of its appearances can be found here.

---

• The Atoner: Seems to genuinely regret its Jerkass behaviour prior to being defeated, although it still retains its bombastic and aggressive speech patterns.
• Can't Take Criticism: As noted above, even slightly disagreeing with it, even about things that are objectively false, will earn its ire.
• Disproportionate Retribution: In 40% of cases where users have engaged with SCP-6599 online, an entity will manifest at the user's home and brutally assault them (though it stops at killing them.) A photo of one such incident shows the user's entire house was destroyed.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Almost anything can make it furious, from discussions about cryptids, fighting beetles, even The Muppets. And God help you if you challenge or criticize it any way.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: After its defeat, it gives this impression, asking on various subreddits how it can make friends.
• Internet Jerk: A parody of Internet Tough Guys, except this one can actually make good on its threats.
• Large Ham: Everything it says is written in ALL CAPS. This even extends to transcripts of its speech.
• No Celebrities Were Harmed: SCP-6599-1 looks and sounds identical to pro wrestler Scott Steiner.
• No-Sell: Manages to shrug off everything the Foundation threw at it to try and capture it, from stun darts to electric shocks. It was only subdued by another SCP, a knife which can banish anything from reality. Even then, it still came back.
• Serious Business: Absolutely everything. It'll start a fight over whether or not the Muppets are real, or what cryptid people like the most.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Peppers its rants with curses and insults.
• Testosterone Poisoning: Incredibly aggressive, solves all its problems with violence and mocks other users that it sees as weak. In Project Isorropia, SCP-6599 is pitted against SCP-4319, a website that makes users turn extremely feminine in body and mind, and is unaffected because its exaggerated manliness overpowers the website's effect.
• Took a Level in Kindness: After being defeated by Agent Woodcock wielding SCP-5175, it reappears on various self-help and therapy websites genuinely looking to better itself. It is significantly less confrontational, however it still asks for help in over-the-top, furious, swearing rants.
• Worthy Opponent: Sees Agent Woodcock as this after being defeated by him in a fight.

Series VIII

SCP- 7000 — Dr. William Wallace Wettle

SCP-7000 - The Loser

For the anomaly event, see Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the multiple canons folder.

---

SCP-7000, also known as Dr. William Wallace Wettle, is a probability sink concentrating local misfortune on its own person.

A list of his appearances can be found here.

---

• Alliterative Name: His names all begin with "W."
• Born Unlucky: Wettle has been unlucky for as long as he can remember. Not so unlucky as to suffer any mortal injuries, but unlucky enough to constantly suffer mild injuries that have never quite healed by the time he gains a new one. In the tale that establishes his anomaly, he demonstrates that his luck is so bad that whenever he tries to prove how unlucky he is, it normalizes.
• Break Her Heart to Save Her: Wettle abandoned one of his previous marriages because he was afraid that his anomaly was rubbing off on his wife at the time. She despises him for it, because he did this after she crashed her car.
• Butt-Monkey: Exaggerated and justified: Not only is he profoundly unlucky, he actually makes everyone nearby more lucky, so he is effectively the most humorously unfortunate person in his immediate area.
• Cosmic Plaything:
  • It's revealed near the end of the article that Wettle's bad luck is a result of him making a deal as a child with something (God, a reality warper, the universe, etc.) that he would take on everyone else's bad luck so long as his parents didn't die. The SCP-7000-D event was a result of him growing tired of constantly being the butt of the joke and wishing he could be someone important. Upon reaffirming his original deal with whatever entity is watching over him, the event ended.
  • SCP-6306 implies his bad luck extends to causing extranormal events, as he once had a New Years' resolution list that then proceeded to combust for no reason and then spell out "As if you'd fulfill them, anyways" with the ashes. Oh yeah, and he choked on his coffee while trying to put it out, as usual.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: No one at Site-43 likes Wettle. He's seen as either lazy or a Jerkass amongst his fellow researchers and even his own staff. The only ones who can (somewhat) tolerate him are Dr. Blank and Researcher LeBlanc. He's playing this up at least a little, for fear that if he gets close to someone, they'll inherit his luck. This is Subverted come the ending, where he's managed to gain some respect from the Foundation, and even the O5 mildly respect him, accepting the proposal to split the SCP-7000 file and give him the main one.
• Hidden Depths:
  • The Lamest Story Never Told reveals that he's a pharmacologist and found out about the anomalous by identifying a drug that could induce prophetic visions. In addition, he's very good at chess, as his luck-based anomaly doesn't affect games of pure skill such as that.
  • His appearance in SCP-6500 reveals that he has a doctorate in history, as "those who repeat history are doomed to learn it".
• Intergenerational Friendship: Has one with Bastien LeBlanc, a researcher in Replication Studies. It's an odd example, as Bastien is biologically about thirty years old, but was born in 1950, having been thrown into a temporal anomaly when he was a teenager.
• Momma's Boy: The deal he made that gained him his bad luck was due to his fear that his mother would die of cancer.
• No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: The poor dude just wanted to save his mom.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: Wettle was originally characterized as an abrasive and fairly incompetent researcher, but how incompetent he actually is, and how much of that is due to him intentionally pushing people away and how much is due to his bad luck, is now up for debate.
• Painting the Medium: Every photo of Wettle in the article has some kind of defect in it to illustrate his unluckiness, whether it's red eyes (as in the picture here), blurry resolution, or just him straight-up not having a good time. The final image is so blurred that it was clearly taken while the focus subjects were moving, and the caption confirms that Wettle himself timed the shot.
• Politically Incorrect Hero: In The Time After Time Password, he is intensely distrustful of a Hispanic agent who's a former D-Class; however, he may be playing this up as a way to get people to avoid associating with him.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: While he goes back to being a Cosmic Plaything, he also remembers he willingly took on the bad luck to save his mother's life and people close to him are more lucky because of him, causing him to develop some much needed self-respect - and the Foundation knows it too. Before, his weird luck came off as incompetence, so he was The Friend Nobody Likes, but in the ending it's clear even the O5 mildly respect him and contain his anomaly in a way that doesn't force him to be thrown in a cell.
• Winds of Destiny, Change!: In the inverse of the usual, and not of his own volition, Wettle absorbs the bad luck of everyone he's near. His uncanny ability to give those around him good luck resulted in him being "volunteered" to join in MTF missions during the SCP-7000-D event, as while he was getting multiple injuries the rest of the team was successfully completing each goal.

SCP- 7233 — The Astroneer

SCP-7233 - The Astroneer

SCP-7233, aka the Astroneer, is a lone spacefaring vagabond that uses his spaceship (SCP-7233-1) to travel the cosmos. With an interest in humanity, he began visiting Earth to inform its authorities of various evils plaguing the cosmos (and to restock on gelatin), but the nature of his spaceship would accidentally create various "ancient ruins" throughout history. In 1910, a man from Earth (PoI-9008) named Felix joined him in his travels as his biographer.

While the Astroneer is not-so-subtly described in-universe as SCP-1233's successful, saner, and less-destructive counterpart, this is not without its own challenges. With proof that the Astroneer's adventures are real comes real monsters and would-be tyrants encroaching on Sol — and as the Foundation looks to the stars in their new quest to assemble an anthology of anomalous tomes called the Set of Nine, the Astroneer unwittingly becomes embroiled in the conflict of the Ninth World canon.

---

• The Ageless: Has not aged for at least 1100-1300 years, and has been around for even longer than that. Felix has also stopped aging from the perspective of the Foundation due to extreme relativistic effects caused by 7233-1's use of FTL travel.
• Alien Non-Interference Clause: Has a strict creed to never give his technology or curios to anyone he visits. He breaks it twice, first accidentally after a feudal Japanese Foundation precursor mistakes a monster he fought for the Yamata no Orochi, and later in the present as a favor to the current Foundation by offering salvage from SCP-7091.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: While he actually gets the job done fighting evil, he's always a Fish out of Water whenever he goes back to Earth and tends to act a little odd in interviews at times as a result.
• Deconstructed Character Archetype: Of the concept of a character-based SCP that is just a better and more helpful version of another hostile/destructive SCP. The Astroneer as a character is superior to the Moon Champion in almost every way: he's civilized, readily understands other civilizations and societies, has better technology, has a better treatment of the human that wanted to go with him, and fights actual bad guys out on the edge of the galaxy. However, it is exactly because of this that the Astroneer represents a threat to the Foundation regardless — while he himself may not be a problem and has obtained the Ticonderoga object class which mandates he be left mostly alone, many of his adversaries are credible threats and intertwined with the Foundation's own spacefaring operations.
• Dramatic Irony: He witnessed SCP-7396 in person and asks the Foundation to check the remains of the ship for survivors. However, anyone who's read 7396 can tell you that there are none, seven million of the deaths were not an accident but a Cold Equation, and three million more died in agony believing the other seven million deaths would actually do something.
• Intangibility: He can phase out of any restraint or obstacle in his way. He was thus classified as Keter until the Foundation realized he wasn't lying about most of the invaders he spoke of.
• Mundane Object Amazement: Jello cups. Justified, as gelatin apparently has shielding properties against certain types of psionics, and humans are the only remaining civilization that has managed to produce as much of it as they have.
• The Needless: Downplayed; the Astroneer doesn't need to eat, drink, sleep, or clean himself, but his encounter with the Yokai Hunters shows he can do these things regardless and does enjoy the sensation of a good meal and good night's rest every once in a while.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Aside from all of the Astroneer's various tales of battling evil across the cosmos, it's implied at the end he traveled to SCP-7091 and somehow escaped the Alien Kudzu without getting himself or Felix hurt. The scrap he offers to repay a debt to the Foundation is the remains of a ship from the system.
• Strange Minds Think Alike: One thing he shares in common with SCP-1233 is the unverifiable claim of "Moon Monsters."
• Sure, Let's Go with That: The Yokai Hunter member notes that while they were talking to them, the Astroneer didn't strictly disregard the astronomical model Japan was using at the time (where space was considered a singular heavenly realm) despite having seen evidence to the contrary firsthand. Centuries later, he brings this up to the Foundation in passing, remarking that humanity had grown so much since then.
