SCP-002 - The "Living" Room

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/800px_scp002_new.jpg
002 in containment.
Author: (unknown)
Posted: July 19th, 2008*

SCP-002 is a large, tumorous sphere of flesh with an iron door. The interior of the sphere appears as a low-rent apartment filled with furniture composed of human remains. If it isn't connected to an electrical source, the sphere will psychically draw people into itself and turn their bodies into an additional piece of furniture for the apartment.
  • Body Horror: Any living human who enters SCP-002 is turned into a form of furniture made of flesh.
  • Flesh Golem: It's one with the sole purpose of being a crummy low-rent apartment. It's a golem rather than simply a life form because it repurposes the flesh, bone, organs, and fluids of those who enter into furnishings.
  • It Can Think: As revealed when SCP-002 was pictured with SCP-978, a camera that takes a photo of what the subject wants to be doing, in its extended test logs. The resulting photo showed a well-furnished foyer with an unlit hallway that extends in the opposite direction, all in the style of SCP-002.

SCP-003 - Biological Motherboard

Rewritten: April 10th, 2011
SCP-003 is a motherboard composed of organic materials. When the temperature in its environment drops, the motherboard gains the ability to transform inorganic material into biological material, as well as the ability to assimilate the biological material of any organisms near it, including humans.
  • Organic Technology: It's a computer motherboard that is composed of organic materials, namely chitin, hair, and nails. When it's exposed to environmental stressors (too hot, too cold, external power source cuts off), it starts to grow into a functioning organism, at one point growing into a 10-ft-tall, sentient, female-presenting humanoid, referred to as "she".
  • Reality Warper: According to the M03-Gloria incidence report, after assuming humanoid form, she displayed the ability to rewrite reality at will, and appears to want to create a "paradise" for humanity, or any type of organism with complex neural function.
  • Psychopathic Woman Child: She has little to no understanding of human emotion, perception, or physiological feelings such as pain, as shown when she tears apart several people and perfectly reassembles them unharmed. Unlike most examples, though, it's unclear whether she is truly malevolent, since she claims to want to create a paradise for humanity, and only did the things she did in order to analyze the humans present.

SCP-004 - The 12 Rusty Keys and the Door

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scp004_door_new_0.jpg
The door sitting unopened.
Author: deusprogrammer
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-004 is a large door on the side of an abandoned factory which can only be opened via a set of twelve rusted keys designated SCP-004-1 through -12. Each key used to open the door in question will open it to reveal one of twelve different realities. Only two keys are perfectly safe to open the door with. The remaining ten open the door to a dimension whose physics and topology renders anyone who enters torn apart, with their remains being deposited throughout the multiverse.
  • Alien Geometries: Ten of the keys open the door into a dimension where the laws of physics and topology are very different from normal. Anyone entering this dimension is ripped apart, with their body parts disappearing.
  • Bigger on the Inside:
    • If SCP-004-7 is used on the door, it opens into a room of immeasurable size which is much larger than the factory building into which the door is set.
    • SCP-004-14 is a box found elsewhere in the factory area. When opened, it has 5 times greater space inside than the outer dimensions would indicate.
  • Portal Door: SCP-004 is a door and set of twelve keys. The door opens to a different place depending on the key used to unlock it. One key leads to a room of seemingly infinite size, one leads to an Eldritch Abomination which destroys the mind of anyone who sees it, while the other ten lead to Alien Geometries which are instantly fatal to human life.
  • Self-Destruct Mechanism: If any of the SCP objects stored inside SCP-004 breach containment or if Site 62 itself is breached, the on-site nuclear device will be activated. This is the earliest SCP description to mention an on-site nuclear device.
  • Year Outside, Hour Inside: SCP-004 causes space-time anomalies nearby, such as personnel experiencing only a few days inside Site 62 even though they had actually been in it for several weeks. Also, some of the body parts of SCP-004-CAS01 (the first person to be ripped apart by the Alien Geometries, back in 1949) took a day to reappear, yet the rest of him didn't appear until decades later, and they hadn't aged a day.

SCP-005 - Skeleton Key

A closeup of 005.
Authors: (unknown)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-005 is a relatively harmless anomaly. It's a key that is capable of unlocking any kind of lock, whether it is mechanical or digital. The only limitation regarding the key is that it will not unlock any lock that has been modified to differ from a conventional lock.
  • Loophole Abuse: A potential weakness to what is otherwise the perfect skeleton key - it may not work on a lock that had been disguised to the point that it does not resemble one. Basically, if its holder is not aware that an object has a lock or is a lock, the Skeleton Key cannot unlock it.
  • Skeleton Key: The perfect one (almost — see above).

SCP-006 - Fountain of Youth

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scp006_stream_new_0.jpg
The spring in its native Russia.
Authors: (unknown) (original), Epic Phail Spy, Proxtown (rewrite)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
Rewritten: (unknown)
SCP-006 is a small spring located near the Russian community of Astrakhan. The waters of the spring, while determined to be ordinary mineral water, are able to repair damage to the bodies of those who ingest them. The Foundation has laid strict guidelines to forbid nearly everyone outside of the O5 Council from knowing about this fact.
  • Fountain of Youth: The one and only, apparently.
  • Wham Line: The second-to-last paragraph reveals why the O5s want to keep this under wraps, and is a wake-up call to any reader who assumes that the Foundation only contains harmful objects:
    The liquid emitted from the spring has been chemically identified as simple mineral water in 1902, but has the unusual property of "health".
  • Withholding the Cure: The Foundation's founder has personally forbidden almost everyone else from knowing that SCP-006 is the literal Fountain of Youth, capable of curing any biological ill with no apparent side effects or drawbacks.

SCP-007 - Abdominal Planet

Author: (unknown)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-007 is a miniature planet similar to Earth which is contained within the abdomen of an ordinary man, who treats his anomaly as a mild curiosity. The planet has also been discovered to be inhabited by microscopic creatures similar to those on Earth, and said inhabitants are slowly evolving.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a miniature planet resembling the Earth contained within a man's abdomen.
  • Insufficiently Advanced Alien: The planet's inhabitants are, as of the article's writing, only up to 15th-century-level technology.
  • Baby Planet: It's too small for humans to actually walk on it.
  • Unfazed Everyman: The person who is host to the abdominal planet is very cordial with the Foundation personnel and not really all that concerned with this unexpected turn of events in his life or why he has a planet in his stomach.
    "I just woke up one day, and there it was. I don't have any idea how it got there."

SCP-008 - Zombie Plague

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scp_008.png
The tertiary structure of 008.
Author: (unknown)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-008 is a highly destructive and lethal anomaly. It's a prion that kills people and turns them into flesh-craving zombies. The infection is spread through exchange of bodily fluids, and the only effective method of terminating those infected is significant cranial trauma.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's literally an infectious prion diseasenote  that turns people into zombies.
  • Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain: Those fully-infected by SCP-008 require significant cranial trauma to destroy.
  • The Virus: SCP-008 spreads whenever an infected subject bites a healthy person, transmitting via bodily fluids and mucous membranes. Unlike most science fiction zombie plagues, instead of being a literal virus or some kind of parasite, it is caused by a prion, meaning an infectious protein.
  • Zombie Apocalypse: Clearly what the Foundation is worried about having happen if SCP-008 gets loose or if it's synthesized by someone else. Most of the containment measures are decontamination procedures designed to prevent the spread of infection.

SCP-009 - Red Ice

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/009_4.png
Frozen samples of 009 on the roof of an ice cave.
Author: Chameleon X
Posted: December 26th, 2009
SCP-009 is a substance that appears chemically identical to water. Unlike water, the substance is tinted with a red hue, and the temperatures at which it enters different phases are inverted, meaning it freezes when above freezing temperature and boils at negative 100 degrees Celsius. It also converts any liquid or organic material it touches into more of itself. These facts have been leading the Foundation to hypothesize that 009 originates from an alternate universe with differing physical laws.
  • Artistic License – Chemistry: A red form of water molecules that paradoxically freeze and melt in warmer and colder temperatures respectively. It also contaminates regular water into this anomalous inversion.
  • Body to Jewel: Corrupts and crystallizes the water content inside a creature.
  • Grey Goo: It's a red substance that turns fluids in living beings to more of itself.
  • Homage: SCP-009 appears to be a reference to ice-nine in Cat's Cradle.
  • Human Popsicle: By freezing the body's water content (at a rate that varies depending on warm temperatures).
  • Water Is Blue: Inverted- it's red. But it inverts water's solid and liquid states too, so it evens out.

SCP-010 - Collars of Control

Author: Le Blue Dude
Posted: April 22nd, 2009
SCP-010 consists of a numbered collection of six cast iron collars and a remote control. Any subject who is fitted with a collar can be controlled by whoever operates the remote, who are able to control their every action and even reconfigure their entire bodily structure.

SCP-011 - Sentient Civil War Memorial Statue

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scp011.jpg
011 atop its pedestal.
Author: Proxtown
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)

SCP-011 is a Civil War memorial statue depicting a Union soldier holding a musket. The statue has shown itself to be both animate and sapient, and has often been observed attempting to shoot at any birds that attempt to defecate on it. The statue is also friendly and amicable with Foundation personnel and is currently in the custody of a female researcher, who it appears to have a romantic attraction toward.
  • Animate Inanimate Object: It's a Civil War statue that can walk around and shoot at any birds that attempt to land or take a shit on it.
  • Berserk Button: The first sign it was alive was when it opened fire on any birds that came near it. Being a statue, it's tired of being covered in bird shit.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a Civil War memorial statue that is self-aware.
  • Interspecies Romance: Sort of, it's a statue and it's romantically attracted to its caretaker.

SCP-012 - A Bad Composition

Author: ITIFAMCO
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-012 is a particularly strong cognitohazard. It's a parchment scroll with a partially completed handwritten musical score dubbed "On Mount Golgotha". The scroll psychologically compels anyone within its vicinity to grievously wound themselves so they may use their own blood in a desperate attempt to finish it. This largely results in those affected dying of either blood loss or suicide.

This SCP became the basis for the On Mount Golgotha canon.


  • Adaptational Expansion: The On Mount Golgotha canon greatly expands on the SCP, giving it connections to the Hanged King and Alagadda.
  • Couldn't Find a Pen: People who look at it too long will be psychologically forced into trying to "complete" the song written on it. This almost always involves cutting themselves open to try and use their blood as ink, and then dying due to either blood loss or suicide (because the song is "impossible to complete").
  • Driven to Suicide: When a test subject managed to finish one line of the composition, the SCP caused them to commit suicide.

SCP-013 - Blue Lady Cigarettes

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/medium_88.jpg
A single instance of 013.
Author: Dexanote
Posted: October 2nd, 2012
SCP-013 is currently a collection of 242 cigarettes. When smoked, a cigarette will cause the user to perceive an unnamed woman replacing the reflection of themselves in any reflective surface they view. It has been established that the effect is irreversible.
  • Déjà Vu: The previous owner of the cigarettes was obsessed with the woman whose form inhalers of SCP-013 perceive themselves as physically becoming, despite his having no idea how he knew her. He saw her everywhere.
  • The Lost Lenore: Ian Miles, the aforementioned previous owner, stated in his suicide note that "I love her, but I don't know why", with the closing lines also hammering this home:
    where did you go
    i miss you

SCP-014 - The Concrete Man

A portrait of 014 before recovery.
Author: Whitewings
Posted: March 30th, 2009
SCP-014 is a man who doesn't appear to age, doesn't have any metabolism, and has demonstrated no apparent life functions. He is also perceived as immobile and has not suffered any ulcers due to the resultant pressure. The man claims that this is the case because he has been slowly turning to concrete, his current state being the result of a curse that forces him to live forever.
  • The Ageless: He's been in his 30s ever since 1915.
  • And I Must Scream: Subverted. Even though he is completely immobile, he can talk and has no interest in any outside events. This testing log with SCP-978 shows that he'd rather sit in his chair than move, even if he weren't immobile.
  • Clap Your Hands If You Believe: It's implied that he wasn't really cursed to be immortal. He just willed himself to be, including his current immobility.
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: He claims that he was cursed to live forever and as a result was turned into concrete.

SCP-015 - Pipe Nightmare

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/medium_1_9.jpg
The interior of 015.
Author: Dr Gears
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-015 is a massive collection of pipes, vents, boilers and various other plumbing apparatus currently contained in an undisclosed warehouse. When not under observation, the pipes appear to grow, attempting to connect to underground plumbing systems and sewer tunnels. The pipes are known to react with hostility to any malicious actions taken towards them, which usually results in them bursting open and spraying the subject responsible with whatever is contained inside them, primarily with harmful substances.
  • Alien Kudzu: One made from plumbing.
  • And I Must Scream: A successful attempt was made to reduce its size, albeit with multiple casualties — evidently not all fatal, judging by the banging and screaming now coming from the mass of plumbing...
  • Berserk Button: It does not take kindly to people messing around with its pipes. If you're lucky, you'll merely be sprayed with the contents of whatever pipes are nearby, any of which could be hazardous. If you're not lucky, well...
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: During one incident, it killed a three-person team by dropping one man into a pipe full of molten glass, sealing a woman inside a mass of pipes and drowning her in honey, and sent the third member sliding down a pipe for days. He survived until his skin finally began to shred off, by which point death was clearly a mercy.
  • Mechanical Lifeforms: While not made of anything plumbing is usually made from, it's partly made of steel and glass.
  • Organic Technology: It's partly made of flesh and bone — and wood and pressed ash, for that matter. And that's not getting into what can come out of it if you attack it...

SCP-016 - Sentient Micro-Organism

Author: DrClef
Posted: January 22nd, 2009
SCP-016 is a blood-borne pathogen that will initially cause an infected subject to suffer symptoms similar to the common cold. If those infected are exposed to a high-pressure situation, the pathogen will begin taking control of the host's DNA and accelerates stimulation of cell division, usually causing the subject to begin bleeding from all orifices. In addition, bodily mutations will occur and the subject's blood pressure will significantly increase. Most subjects infected will die due to severe blood loss.
  • Adaptive Ability: Infected individuals will, under high-stress situations such as life-threatening emergencies, rapidly mutate in order to adapt to them. This usually results in the death of the individual.
  • Blood from the Mouth: Phase two of infection causes the coughing up of small amounts of blood.
  • Defence Mechanism Superpower: SCP-016's emergency transformations.
  • Emergency Transformation: The transformations caused by SCP-016 in times of extreme stress are one-way and massively reduce the subject's lifespan.
  • High-Pressure Blood: The third and final phase of infection causes not only massive amounts of bleeding, but also ridiculously high blood pressure, enabling 5+ meter streams of vomited blood.
  • Incurable Cough of Death: Phase one of infection displays symptoms identical to those of the common cold.
  • The Plague: Smarter than your average — in emergencies, it ditches its usual modus operandi, causes adaptive mutations, and makes the host aggressive in an attempt to spread the infection through rabies-like bites rather than the fluid transfer of the three usual phases.

SCP-017 - Shadow Person

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scp017incaptivity.jpg
017 in the corner of its cell.
Author: CityToast
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-017 is an entity the size of a small child that is primarily composed of a shadowy shroud. While the Foundation debates that something might be underneath the shroud, all attempts to uncover the object have been unsuccessful. The entity must be perpetually surrounded by bright lights to remain contained, for if anything casts a shadow on it, it will engulf whatever is responsible and make it disappear.
  • Casting a Shadow: Capable of enveloping anything that casts a shadow, lethally.
  • Creepy Child: It has a similar anatomy to a child, but it is hostile.
  • Dark Is Evil: 017 is a shadow-being that will leap to anything that casts a shadow and completely envelop them.
  • Living Shadow: It resembles a shroud, but the Foundation has had no luck trying to find out what's underneath it.
  • Logical Weakness: To immobilize a Living Shadow, one must keep it perpetually enveloped by light.
  • Weakened by the Light: Not the light itself, however. The reason 017's cell is surrounded by floodlights is to prevent 017 from using shadows in her cell to escape.

SCP-018 - Super Ball

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/superball.jpg
018 without restraint.
Author: Epic Phail Spy
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-018 is a 1969 Wham-O Super Ball that bounces with 200% efficiency. The ball is known to double its speed, height, and duration of time in air every time it connects with a solid surface. If left unchecked, the ball will act as a lethal projectile, ricocheting at the estimated speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
  • Crazy Enough to Work: A Foundation researcher managed to convince one of the O5s to let him use SCP-018 in one of the Foundation's armor suits. Said suit was then used to pursue an escaped SCP — and it worked...until the device surrounding SCP-018 malfunctioned and the agent wearing it suffered multiple broken bones and a traumatic amputation.
  • Happy Fun Ball: Quite possibly the real deal. Given that even the slightest push from a solid surface makes it faster, it really is a bad idea to so much as taunt it.
  • No Conservation of Energy: Every bounce against a solid surface increases its energy rather than reducing it.

SCP-019 - The Monster Pot

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scp_019_new.jpg
019 in an inactive state.
Author: Sophia Light
Posted: December 6th, 2009
SCP-019 is a ceramic vase that houses monstrous entities designated SCP-019-2, which will often emerge from the vase to attack any beings in sight. At one point, 019-2 could easily have been dispatched via fire, but the creatures have been getting stronger, and have since begun showing signs of inflammability.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a pot that acts as a portal for monsters.
  • Kill It with Fire: The monsters that emerge from it were flammable at first; now, they are largely resistant to fire.
  • Mook Maker: It's not quite clear whether the pot creates the monsters or transports them from a separate reality to its location, but either way, it qualifies as this.
  • Zerg Rush: The monsters are delicate and flammable, but are dangerous in large numbers.

SCP-020 - Unseen Mold

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scp020.jpg
020 coating the ceiling of a room.
Author: Aelanna
Posted: December 8th, 2009
SCP-020 is a rapidly-spreading species of mold that is only visible through pictures and recorded footage. Humans infected by the mold have their minds and behavior altered so they become more sociable, inviting their friends and loved ones into their homes so the mold can spread.
  • Festering Fungus: It's a fungal organism that causes humans to become more sociable and invite people into their home, so that it can spread, and ultimately causes the deaths of those affected.
  • Invisibility: It can only be seen through photographic or video surveillance.
  • Puppeteer Parasite: While it does not necessarily grow on its victims, its spores alter their behavior in ways that benefit its growth and spread and, as seen in the addendum, protect it from potential threats.

SCP-021 - Skin Wyrm

021 on a subject's leg.
Author: HK-016
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-021 is a large, sentient, animate tattoo of an Oriental dragon that feasts on the pigments in a person's skin. It is able to jump from one body to another through physical contact, whether the body is alive or dead. In the cases of hosts that are currently alive, the tattoo's movements give a strong sensation of pain.
  • Animated Tattoo: It's a living tattoo of an oriental dragon.
  • Blessed with Suck: Being its host does have some benefits, although they hardly outweigh the constant pain of being tattooed and undergoing tattoo removal every time it moves in any way, which is constantly.
  • The Symbiote: It eats skin pigments, and in exchange, it regulates certain body chemicals and boosts the immune system.

SCP-022 - The Morgue

Surveillance footage of 022 in action.
Author: DrSevere
Posted: January 23rd, 2011
SCP-022 is an anomalous morgue housed in the basement of a hospital in England. The morgue periodically generates animate cadavers, designated SCP-022-1. The cadavers produced are reportedly corpses of those that have been stolen from different morgues across the country, but the minds and bodies are known to get swapped around in the process.
  • Elite Zombie: Apart from those too decomposed to move properly, corpses reanimated by the morgue have superhuman strength.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: The morgue 'steals' bodies from other morgues and reanimates them with the minds of other deceased individuals.
  • Kill It with Fire: After quarantine, most instances of reanimated corpses have been dealt with by incineration.
  • Removing the Head or Destroying the Brain: Averted. It's specifically stated that destroying the head or brain does not neutralize these zombies and their torsos will retain mobility.
  • Our Zombies Are Different: These ones have super strength, don't die by head shot, and have the perfectly lucid minds of deceased people that don't match the bodies.

SCP-023 - Black Shuck

023 at the end of a tunnel.
Author: Pig_catapult
Posted: January 11th, 2010
SCP-023 is known as the Black Shuck. The entity is an intangible, pitch-black hound of British folklore. Anyone who looks into the creature's glowing eyes will either end up dying or will have one of their loved ones die exactly one year after they break eye contact. The corpses of those who have looked into the dog's eyes are discovered to been filled with ash.
  • Animalistic Abomination: It resembles a shaggy canine with black fur and bright red eyes.
  • Deadly Gaze: Anyone who stares into its eyes will either die or have a close family member die in exactly one year.
  • Eye Scream: It was on the receiving end of this as a doctor approved removing its eyes in an attempt to reduce the danger to personnel. Naturally it didn't like this and breached containment going on a rampage leading to at least nine dead civilians.
  • Intangibility: It can phase through solid objects in order to get to an area that resembles a crossroads.
  • Meaningful Name: Black Shuck is the name of a ghost dog that is said to roam on the countryside and coast of East Anglia in England.

SCP-024 - Game Show of Death

024 hidden among replicas.
Author: SpoonOfEvil
Posted: March 30th, 2009
SCP-024 is an abandoned sound stage that spontaneously generates a game show when a group of people step inside it. An unseen announcer will announce to the "contestants" that winners of the show will receive fabulous prizes, but the losers will never be able to leave the soundstage. Anyone who attempts to leave or break the rules of the show is taken away to an unknown location by shadowy figures dubbed the "studio guardians".
  • Abandoned Area: The phenomenon occurs in an abandoned sound stage.
  • Affably Evil: Whenever “contestants” enter, the announcer will make it very clear how dangerous the game is and that losers don’t get to leave, and even offers them a choice to simply decline to play, whereupon they’re immediately expelled from the building and blocked by an invisible wall. When a researcher went in alone, the announcer engaged in a conversation with him and when they eventually figured out that no other contestants would participate, the announcer kindly asked them to leave and suggested they return with more contestants.
  • Deadly Game: Well, presumably. They certainly don't come back.
  • The Faceless: The studio guardians — on tape and DVD because they wear masks, and in person because they're huge shadowy figures.
  • George Lucas Altered Version: The DVDs and tapes of the 'show' appear different to actual events, adding a studio audience and giving the studio guardians theme-appropriate appearances.
  • There Can Be Only One: Regardless of the rules of any given 'episode', there is always a single winner.
  • The Voice: The announcer is a disembodied voice.

025 in containment.
Author: thattallfellow
Posted: January 11th, 2010)
SCP-025 is a wooden wardrobe containing various articles of clothing that corelate to different time periods dating back to the 1920s. Each of the articles in the wardrobe, designated SCP-025-1, have some form of imperfection, and anyone who wears one of them will die or suffer an injury directly relating to the imperfection within 24 hours.
  • Artifact of Death: The wardrobe is filled with well-worn items of clothing whose various symptoms of overuse correspond to the causes of death of whoever wears them.
  • Make It Look Like an Accident: A Foundation researcher puts on a scarf from SCP-025 resembling his own, which results in him being strangled by SCP-173. It is strongly implied that someone intentionally left the scarf on the researcher's desk.

SCP-026 - Afterschool Retention

Author: DrEverettMann
Posted: January 18th, 2010
SCP-026 is an abandoned 3-story public school that frequently changes appearance in the perception of viewers, causing the Foundation to realize that it had spatial anomalies, such as the fact that the interior of the school is bigger than the exterior will physically allow. The school also houses a number of unconscious subjects between the ages of 12 and 18, but all attempts to awaken them inside the building have failed.
  • Abandoned Area: SCP-026 is an abandoned school.
  • Alien Geometries: Flip-flopped. Initially assumed to be the case, then determined to be the result of altered senses, then discovered to be the case after all (to a point).
  • Arc Words: The most common passage of text in the building is phrase, "The children used to sing".
  • Forced Sleep: Not only the case with the place's victims, but also with those who simply fall asleep within it; only the latter can be safely woken by removing them from the premises.
  • From Bad to Worse: Turns out it never stopped capturing people.
  • Make Them Rot: The fate of former students and faculty fully captured by SCP-026 who are removed from the premises.
  • Recurring Dreams: Falling asleep on the premises results in a dream of attending the school before it was abandoned, but those who visit are at risk of having recurring dreams of this nature that lead up to permanent capture.
  • Shout-Out: A Mobile Task Force specializing in spatial anomalies referred in the entry is nicknamed "Roadside Picnickers".

SCP-027 is a phenomenon that is shown to affect one person at a time, causing the unlucky victim (currently SCP-027-02) to be swarmed by all manner of vermin. The SCP's host is shown to have no control over the creatures that swarm to it, which are known to attack both themselves and personnel who approach them. The phenomenon will transfer to a new host upon its current host's death.
  • Adaptational Badass: Not only did it get the upgrade to Horsemen of the Apocalypse (see below), but it became sentient, acting more like possession in Competitive Eschatology.
  • Affably Evil: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, it speaks formally to Dr. Johanna Garrison after awakening as the Horseman of Famine and calmly asks her to be its final host body. She accepts.
  • Body Horror: The original host was discovered to have had some rats nesting in his abdomen. The current one first learned he was infected with the phenomenon when a fly ended up in his nose while he slept and eventually laid eggs.
  • Creepy Cockroach: Roaches are among the vermin crawling around the host.
  • Creepy Crows: In the Competitive Eschatology, a flock of crows joins the swarm when 027 awakens as the Horseman of Famine.
  • Horsemen of the Apocalypse: It is Famine in the Competitive Eschatology canon.
  • It Can Think: In the Competitive Eschatology, the phenomenon turns out to be sapient.
  • Legacy Character: A morbid example — when the phenomenon's current host dies, it moves on to the nearest human.
  • Orifice Invasion: The vermin do this to the host a lot, crawling into his nose, mouth, etc. seemingly at random. A fly once laid eggs in his nose and one tale states that some of the bugs randomly enter his mouth and let him eat them.
  • Sanity Slippage: According to this tale, SCP-027-02's mental state has, perhaps unsurprisingly, been deteriorating due to his situation.
  • Scary Scorpions: In the Competitive Eschatology, scorpions are sighted amongst 027's vermin.
  • Spontaneous Generation: Averted with the phenomenon normally, as it only draws vermin to the host's location rather than conjuring them from nowhere. Played straight in the Competitive Eschatology when it awakens as the Horseman of Famine — the fact that vermin start spawning from thin air is the first sign to Dr. Light that something is wrong.
  • Swarm of Rats: Swarming rats are attracted to its location, and all kinds of vermin, too.
  • Undying Loyalty: Subverted. The swarming vermin are attracted to the host's location, but they're not exactly "loyal" to them. In fact, they've been known to bite their current host for seemingly no reason.

Author: Dr Gears
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-028 is a random area in northern Michigan, originally located between a storage yard and an abandoned coal mine. The Foundation has since managed to reduce the size of the area to a 7 ft cube. Once a subject enters the area, they will be given complete and total knowledge on a random subject in a matter of seconds. Entering and exiting the area multiple times has been known to give subjects headaches.
  • Abandoned Area: The phenomenon occurs at the center of an abandoned storage yard outside a mine.
  • Awful Truth: An SCP agent attempted to go on a Foundation killing spree after learning about classified Foundation activities from SCP-028's effect.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: One test caused such a bad case of this that the subject said, "This is not life," went into a coma and died soon afterward.
  • My Skull Runneth Over: Experiencing the effect multiple times results in increasingly strong migraines and dizziness.
  • Screw Learning, I Have Phlebotinum!: SCP-028 endows its targets with complete, perfect knowledge of a single subject.
  • Super Not-Drowning Skills: One D-class exposed to SCP-028 learned how to recycle the carbon dioxide in his lungs into oxygen. Without abnormal organ function — that is, simply by knowing the trick. The Foundation was baffled.

SCP-029 - Daughter of Shadows

Author: AdminBright
Posted: February 8th, 2010
SCP-029 is a woman of Asiatic-Indian descent who refers to herself as the "Daughter of Shadows". Her skin is completely lacking in melanin, and both her eyes and skin are a pitch of near pitch blackness. She is extremely aggressive and homicidal, has an ability to use virtually any item as a lethal weapon, and a habit of strangling hapless victims. Males within her presence will easily be converted to her will, willing to kill or die for her.
  • Afraid of Blood: Oddly enough, for someone as homicidal as she is, she has a strong aversion to blood, preferring to strangle her victims.
  • Amazing Technicolor Population: About 80% of her body is jet-black, while the rest of her body lacks melanin.
  • Ax-Crazy: She prefers to strangle her victims, though, as she has an aversion to blood.
  • Black Eyes of Evil: It matches her title really well.
  • Dark Is Evil: She has great powers in the dark and uses them for murder.
  • Hypnotic Eyes: Any male she can see falls completely under her control.
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Her name roughly translates to either "Daughter of Darkness", "Daughter of Shadows", or "Daughter of Night".
  • Religion of Evil: The Thuggee cult believed that sacrificing a million lives to her will resurrect her mother, Kali, and end the world.
  • Reluctant Fanservice Girl: Due to her skill in killing people and her ability to use virtually anything like a weapon, she is denied access to anything physical, including clothing. This is against her wishes as clothing is one of the things she has requested before.
  • Weakened by the Light: Her abilities are greatly diminished in any form of light.

SCP-030 - The Homunculus

Author: Mulciber
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-030 is a miniature, genderless clay humanoid that is only active in bright light. The humanoid that identifies itself as "Ariel", and insists that on-site staff do the same. Ariel possesses a large amount of intelligence, being able to read and write in several different languages, and has demonstrated knowledge of physics, astronomy, and mathematics.
  • Artificial Human: A 71-centimeters-tall human constructed out of clay.
  • Gender-Blender Name: "Ariel", which is fitting considering SCP-030 is biologically genderless.
  • Golem: SCP-030 is constructed out of clay, giving off this vibe.
  • Irony: In modern Hebrew, the word "גּוֹלֶם‎ gōlem" may be used to insult someone by implying they're dumb or oafish, but SCP-030 is a literal golem that is anything but that.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: In their own words, they had been asked to forget about the information on his creators.
  • Major Injury Underreaction: Due to being made of clay, losing a limb is little more than a mild inconvenience for thrm as they can just stick it right back on.
  • Meaningful Name: Their name "Ariel" is a Hebrew name that reflects upon their character in different ways.
    • The name itself means "lion of God", specifically the Judaic God who created humans from golems who would made golems of their own in the name of El.
    • The gender of the name is not one or the other; while "Ariel" is generally considered feminine in Modern English, it is masculine in the original Hebrew (Arielle being the feminine version).
  • Nice Guy: SCP-030 is polite and helpful with Foundation personnel.
  • No Biological Sex: Being a homunculus and all, having a biological sex isn't gonna matter much.
  • Our Homunculi Are Different: This homunculus is made almost entirely of clay and "deactivates" in low light conditions.
  • Omniglot: SCP-030 can speak, read, and write in Ancient Greek, Latin, Italian, English, Spanish, and Portuguese and even two languages that have not yet been identified.
  • Weakened by the Light: Inverted. They become inert when they're not exposed to a light source.
  • What the Hell Is That Accent?: SCP-030's voice is described as "androgynous, with a pronounced English accent not currently identifiable as specific to any modern region".

SCP-031 - What is Love?

Author: Dr Clef

Rewritten: April 6th, 2021
SCP-031 is a large amorphous organism capable of replicating any form of human speech. The entity is currently contained in North Korea's Ryugyong Hotel, where it will often send its limbs out into the city of Pyongyang to lure people into its clutches, the limbs being perceived by its victims as a former lover. The limbs will then lure people to the hotel, where the creature's body will absorb them and preserve their brain.
  • The Assimilator: Its methods for absorbing people are diverse, including morphing tendrils into the target's form.
  • Mythology Gag: SCP-031's description and abilities before transforming into its current form are taken directly from the since deleted original SCP-031.
  • Ontological Mystery: One of the doctors realized something even stranger than the usual Foundation events was happening when he came across the SCP-1427 file - which stated that there was another, very different SCP being housed in the hotel. For some reason, any investigators sent in to check on 031 would only find evidence of 031, and those that went in to check on the latter would neither find any evidence of the former nor the first team and viceversa; to make matters worse, the Korean Foundation had no idea there were any assets on the hotel, nor could they find either SCP or their assigned team. Just as the investigation on what exactly is going on with the two mind-altering anomalies starts heavily pushing for answers, the investigators suddenly allegedly leave due to health concerns.

SCP-032 - Brothers' Bride

Author: Dmatix
Posted: September 30th, 2014
SCP-032 is a sapient replica of a 30-something woman made of silicone and polymers, whose interior is shown to be comprised of liquid oil. It has been known to cause mild discomfort to humans within close range. The SCP also shows itself to be capable of speech and locomotion, but declares that it is not sapient, acting only as an instrument of its creators.
  • Artificial Human: Made in the image of a woman.
  • Cool and Unusual Punishment: SCP-032 is a twisted parody of SCP-1440's wife, created by the Brothers of Death who cursed him to end his defiance by driving him mad.
  • Make Them Rot: Biological material around SCP-032 will start to decay. While not as harmful around humans, staying around SCP-032 for 12 hours or less will start to make them feel sick.

SCP-033 - The Missing Number

Author: Mulciber
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-033 is a complex field of mathematical symbols, including "Theta Prime", a numerical digit that standard mathematics somehow skips over. Because of modern mathematical calculations lacking knowledge or proper usage of the number, all mathematical tools ranging from textbooks to calculators will disintegrate or erode when attempting to utilize the number in an equation.
  • Alternative Number System: More like paranormal number system.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a number we somehow missed.
  • Formulaic Magic: This paranormal number can cause breakdowns in reality by simply existing.
  • Science Is Wrong: Since we missed it, none of our mathematical formulas work with it. In fact, it causes anything related to mathematics to completely break down: Calculators, machine-printed paper, and the entire internet if it ever got online.

Posted: February 24th, 2009
SCP-034 is an ancient knife fashioned from pure obsidian. If someone cuts a piece of flesh off of another living person with 034 and places the flesh against the skin of another individual, the former will take on the complete physical appearance of the latter. The only stipulation of this process is that whoever has their flesh cut off must be biologically alive.
  • Deep Cover Agent: SCP-034 was first discovered in the possession of one of these, who had infiltrated the Foundation and was masquerading as a researcher until receiving further instructions.
  • Flaying Alive: If SCP-034 is used to remove a living person's skin or part thereof, wearing that skin will result in physical transformation into that person, but the transformation will end early if the victim dies.
  • Hour of Power: The disguise only lasts approximately one hour per square centimeter of skin cut and worn.
  • Humanshifting: SCP-034 only allows safe (albeit painful) transformation by humans into other humans; experiments on the skin of animals did not go well.
  • Painful Transformation: Despite its quickness, SCP-034-induced transformations are extremely painful, even moreso with more radical changes.

SCP-036 is a phenomenon involving the annual pilgrimage of recently deceased people of the Yazidi faith, who embark on a crewless plane to be taken to what they perceive to be the holy land to be reincarnated. The plane carrying the pilgrims arrives to drop them off in late September every year, and the pilgrims will board another plane provided by the Foundation to fly off to the holy land.
  • Back from the Dead: The people that exit the "Arrival" plane have been identified as people of the Yazidi faith that have died in the previous year.
  • Post-Modern Magik: When the SCP Foundation offered the use of one of their planes to ferry the deceased pilgrims following regional upheaval in the 1960s, they started arriving in a plane of their own (with the Foundation's plane being used as a connecting flight), and an airport appeared at the pilgrimage's destination.

SCP-037, originally found at the North Pole, is a 5 cm star that managed to enter the planet's atmosphere, with a luminosity 1*10-12 times brighter than the sun. It is currently on the verge of going supernova, and the Foundation is trying to find a way to prevent it from dying out. In the meantime, it is contained and transported via electromagnets.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's an extremely tiny dwarf star (5 cm across) that somehow managed to enter Earth's magnetosphere.
  • Elaborate Underground Base: The star's containment unit is kept underground so they can keep it hidden from aerial and satellite surveillance, and so the heat emissions can be vented into the bedrock around it.
  • Oh, Crap!: Sure, it's small and cute now, but a star is a star and stars eventually blow up, which is what this star is headed for at an alarmingly accelerated rate. Right after it turns into a red giant, with the x100-300 size increase that comes with it.

SCP-039 are a troupe of 23 proboscis monkeys that lack facial features and digestive tracts. They are the result of an experiment to produce factory workers that didn't need to sleep or eat, and as such, have a vast level of knowledge in engineering, which they often display in attempts to escape containment. The monkeys are also shown to be sapient and sociable, communicating to one another through a series of snorting noises.
  • And I Must Scream: The monkeys have no eyes, mouths, or digestive systems. This doesn't seem to bother them too much usually, but they get distressed when they can smell food and try to rub the food on the spot where their mouths used to be in a vain attempt to eat. This means that whoever made them this way took normal proboscis monkeys and artificially removed these body parts and organs.
  • The Engineer: In spite of having no eyes or mouths and literally being monkeys, they are talented mechanical engineers.
  • The Faceless: They have no eyes or mouths, only their iconic noses.

SCP-040, who answers to the nickname of "Forty", is a cheerful 8-year old girl who is able to shape and mutate living matter into makeshift creatures, (SCP-040-1). The Foundation has allowed her to keep three of these creatures (SCP-040-1a, SCP-040-1c, and SCP-040-1j) as pets, in the hopes of keeping her mental state healthy.
  • Biomanipulation: SCP-040 has the anomalous ability of manipulating living matter. She uses it to modify existing life forms to create new ones. Her creations include SCP-040-1a (a Voluntary Shapeshifter she wears like a sweater), SCP-040-1c (a Living Gasbag that can play music) and SCP-040-1j (a four-legged creature that can Wall Crawl).
  • Black Eyes of Crazy: Subverted. While one of her eyes is black, she's not crazy.
  • Creepy Child: Although, it's more due to her powers than her behavior. That, and she does keep mutants as pets.
  • Genki Girl: This tale describes her as a "maelstrom of energy".
  • Green Thumb: She can manipulate plant matter, but she has more difficulty with it.
  • Instant Costume Change: Her main article of clothing is SCP-040-1a, a shape-shifting sweater that changes into different types of clothing depending on the environment.
  • Living Gasbag: SCP-040-1c is a spherical creature that can fly using bladders filled with helium.
  • Lovecraftian Superpower: She can manipulate organic matter, i.e. induce mutations at will.
  • Necromancer: She once resurrected a corpse, but it had the mentality of a child and she was quite upset by it
  • Nice Girl: She's polite and genial with personnel and generally a sweet girl despite her creepiness.
  • No Name Given: Not on her main article, although according to this tale related to the "Olympia Project", her name is "Emily".
  • Performance Anxiety: She suffered from this in the experiment log.
  • Pet Monstrosity: Instances of SCP-040-1 are normally this. She's allowed to keep three of them for her mental wellbeing.
  • Picky Eater: She doesn't like peas, but does like green beans.
  • Powered by a Forsaken Child: In a sense. She was one of the SCP items used during the Olympia Project (a project to attempt to create an Artificial Human using several SCP items for the Foundation's benefit) where she was to manipulate the raw materials integrated to bring it to life.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: She has pink hair, which is implied to be a result of her powers. It's very brittle and falls out constantly. She's also quite sweet.
  • The Symbiote: SCP-040-1a is described as such and feeds on the nutrients in SCP-040's blood stream.
  • Squishy Wizard: In a sense, her skin is very sensitive and fragile, her hair falls out constantly and she's blind in the aforementioned black eye.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Her preferred pizza is a small pizza with extra cheese and cheese stuffed crusts.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifter: SCP-040-1a was created by SCP-040. It has polymorphic abilities and can change its size, shape, color, and texture as necessary to act as outer clothing (e.g. a sweater) for SCP-040.
  • Wall Crawl: SCP-040-1j is one of SCP-040's creations. It's a furry four-legged creature that climb up vertical walls.

  • Seeing Through Another's Eyes: When another person is within ten meters of him, SCP-041 can read their mind using telepathy and see whatever they're seeing. For example, if someone were watching television then SCP-041 could "watch" it along with him.
  • Nightmare Fetishist: He has a taste for gore/slasher films, and has even expressed interest in snuff films.
  • Telepathy: SCP-041 is a man who can read the mind of anyone within ten meters of him. He can also transmit thoughts (his or those of a person he reads) to anyone within that range.

SCP-043 is a vinyl copy of The White Album advertised as being a "limited edition". When the album is placed on a record player and reaches "Revolution 9", the record will stop turning and a voice will emanate through the player's speakers. The voice will often provide bits of trivia about various musical acts, but refuses to answer any questions about itself, its origins, or the Beatles.
  • Elvis Lives: The staple inverse. The On Mount Golgotha canon implies that SCP-043 is Paul McCartney, whose consciousness has been removed from his body and replaced with someone else's.

The howitzer is capable of firing any object placed into it through a massive air compression chamber, but the massive size and atomic properties of the device means that it has caused vast levels of damage whenever it is fired.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: It's big and can turn anything into ammo, but is too slow and big to actually be useful in combat.
  • Ghostapo: It was secretly manufactured by German engineers under the supervision of Albert Speer, who was one of Hitler's most important personnel.

The Foundation theorizes that if 045 ever got to the surface, the atmospheric and seismic changes it induces could cause a global catastrophe.
  • Transmutation: While not quite reaching alchemical levels, it certainly isn't like anything found in nature.

  • Man-Eating Plant: The article stresses that the holly bush lures people with terminal illnesses to it and compels them to feed themselves to it. The drop-down indicates that the holly bush actually communicates to terminally ill people within its memetic range, and anyone who voluntarily visits the bush and rests in front of it has their pain removed and is painlessly absorbed into the foliage.

This SCP is a unique case, since its anomalous property is (debatably) the number itself. Any anomaly that has previously been designated as "SCP-048" has been lost, stolen, decommissioned, or destroyed. The Foundation has purportedly removed the number from its database to improve staff morale.
  • Painting the Medium
  • Real Life Writes the Plot: The current SCP came about after multiple attempts to create the SCP entry were downvoted and subsequently deleted (one example was a dog named Joey).
  • There Is No Rule Six: SCP-048 is an article detailing that there is no SCP-048. In-universe, the explanation given is that any item given that designation was lost, stolen, destroyed, etc. In reality, several writers attempted to fill that slot with a wide variety of ideas, but they were all removed due to negative responses.

  • Body Horror: If a pregnant woman manages to carry to term after touching the model, the baby will have severe birth defects such as grayed decaying flesh, segmented limbs, and an open chest cavity. Any miscarriages will have the same thing.
  • Fetus Terrible: Whatever 051 turns fetuses into, they are certainly NOT human.

SCP-054 is a feminine humanoid composed entirely of water. The humanoid must periodically return to a body of water or else risk succumbing to evaporation. Being subjected to experimentation by male personnel has left the poor thing with severe mental scars and a sense of aggression toward men.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: While she's normally rather friendly, there was a point where she [DATA EXPUNGED], which injured two researchers putting an end to the experiments.

SCP-055 - [unknown]

Authors: Creator/Qntm, CptBellerman
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-055 is an antimeme; a self-classifying object or entity that cannot be remembered by anyone. Within a few minutes of exposure, all information regarding 055, including its appearance, how it was acquired, who originally obtained it, and when it was obtained, will be completely forgotten. As such, the Foundation has gradually had to resort to remembering what the SCP is not to be sure that 055 exists at all.

Start of There Is No Antimemetics Division.


  • Beware the Silly Ones: It's pretty funny to see researchers straight-up frustrated trying to remember what SCP-055 is. However, that also means it is impossible to actually know or learn anything about it. What its nature is, how dangerous it is, how deep its mind-altering abilities run, and if it's even properly contained period. The staff have even ascertained that if SCP-055 killed someone, absolutely nobody would realize it. Its object class is listed as Keter for a reason.
  • Easy Amnesia: Whatever attributes are true regarding SCP-055, they cannot be remembered easily at all, and any attempts to physically record SCP-055's attributes will be rendered futile as it'll be impossible for anyone to associate any correct attributes of the anomaly recorded on any medium with the anomaly itself.
  • Loophole Abuse: While no-one can remember what it is, people find it easier to remember what it is not. For example, it's definitely not a sphere.
  • Painting the Medium: It isn't described in its article, because it can't be described or remembered.

SCP-056 - A Beautiful Person

Author: (unknown)
Posted: Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)
SCP-056 is a shape-changing being of variable appearance, size, and gender. If left unobserved, 056 will change its appearance to that of an improved version of any direct observers around it. For example, when should it be around people, it will appear as a human, but will consistently be smarter, stronger, more attractive, and better dressed that the people around it. When it is left alone, trying to view it through a camera will result in it appearing as a better camera.
  • The Ace: Deconstructed. His perfection causes everyone to hate him because he's pretty much designed to be better than everyone.
  • Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better: His forte; when in contact with...well anything, he immediately transforms into a superior version of that thing.
  • Beauty Is Bad: He's very beautiful but very self-absorbed.
  • Deconstructed Character Archetype: SCP-056 deconstructs The Ace and Always Someone Better. They're a shapeshifter who turns into a better version of anything that looks at him is an Insufferable Genius that everybody hates.
  • Empathic Shapeshifter: One focused on creating envy on whoever's close.
  • The Faceless: It's impossible to see his "natural" form through any known means. For example, if you try and look at him through a video camera recording, he'll just turn into a superior version of said camera.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Maybe not "Evil" though. He acts all polite, but is a massive narcissist.
  • Hated by All: Everyone who interacts with him ends up hating him.
  • Head-Turning Beauty: When around anyone of either gender who is considered conventionally attractive, he tends to take on a form that's even more attractive.
    Ten (10) Class D Personnel, all male, intending and carrying nothing. (Subject appeared as a beautiful woman, dressed in a low-cut red dress. After approximately ten minutes, all personnel began showing signs of irritation, and five minutes later broke out in fighting. Subject waved them away after watching them for seven minutes).
  • Humanoid Abomination: Probably, although, compared to most abominations in Foundation custody, he's pretty tame.
  • Insufferable Genius: All the time.
  • Involuntary Shapeshifting: Although it doesn't seem to bother him. He actually seems to like it.
  • It's All About Me: He doesn't seem to care about anyone but himself.
  • Narcissist: Oh so much. He repeatedly demands access to the internet simply because he "wants the whole world to know his face". That and the Foundation "hasn't provided him with enough sycophants".
  • No Biological Sex: More like "Variable Biological Sex"; he can appear as a man or a woman (or an animal or object) depending on who he meets. He's referred to as male because his most common form (mimicking his guard) is male.
  • Not So Harmless: He's mostly just an annoyance, but remember that he's the one who killed SCP-151-D, and he turned into something that killed twenty-seven people (seventeen of them field agents) before being contained. It's been stated that the Foundation refuses to use him on SCP-682 because they're convinced that all he'll do is turn into an even deadlier version of it.
  • Pretty Boy: His most common form.
  • Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful!: Invoked, somewhat. It's implied that he was able to charm someone in the Foundation to give him somewhat more lax containment procedures.
    SCP-056 is to be kept in a room of its choosing, with whatever furnishings it expresses desire for.
    The subject is to be allowed access to any object it desires, with the exceptions of weapons, communication devices, an internet connection, and other SCP objects.
  • Your Mind Makes It Real:
    • It is believed that he has no natural form and his very existence is dependent on perception.
    • Another, less popular theory, is simply that You Cannot Grasp the True Form.

SCP-057 - The Daily Grind

SCP-057 is a subterranean chamber that holds numerous stone columns. When a subject enters the chamber, its entrance will become sealed. The various monoliths will then commence moving in and around the chamber, not stopping until they crush the subject.
  • Mobile Maze: It's a maze of stone columns that start to move and rotate when a human enters it. Unlike most mazes, there's no discernible exit, meaning that the victim is left to try and avoid the columns until they either get too tired, make a mistake, or simply give up, at which point - crunch.
  • Stealth Pun: There's a reason it's called "The Daily Grind".

SCP-060 is a grove of 17 white oak trees. If any of the trees are burned, an animate, intelligent, and hostile flaming skeleton dubbed SCP-060-Alpha will manifest and attempt to burn those responsible. New trees will also grow in areas that 060-Alpha has burned over the course of four to six weeks.
  • Dem Bones: SCP-060-Alpha is a flaming human skeleton.
  • Playing with Fire: The skeleton is summoned by burning SCP-060 (a subspecies of white oak trees). Also, areas burned by the skeleton will have new SCP-060 instances grow from them.
  • Pyromaniac: If left unchecked, the skeleton will cause large, uncontrolled fires; however, it tries not to burn SCP-060 instances intentionally.
  • Was Once a Man: SCP-060-Alpha is heavily implied to have once been a hermit studying the occult, whose burnt-down cabin was found amongst the SCP-060 with no trace of the inhabitant.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: The skeleton is vulnerable to water or any similar flame-retardant material. However, it will collapse without warning and pose a serious threat until then.

The bristles of 063 are shown to be the focal point of its primary anomalous feature: the ability to completely remove any non-biological form of matter from existence. It is for this reason that the Foundation initially acquired toothbrush from a petty thief who used it to open safes.

SCP-065 is a 12 mile region of space located on a farm. The area's anomalous nature initially manifested after the Global Occult Coalition destroyed an unconfined SCP in the area. Any living organism that steps inside the area's "red zone" will have the functions of their cells randomized in often fatal ways. Thankfully, the SCP has been shrinking since the Foundation contained it.
  • Mutants: Any animals within 12 meters of the center of SCP-065 suffer rapid harmful mutations. The larger the animal is, the faster the mutations occur.
  • Body Horror: The mutatioms have a tendency to cause these in large animals.

SCP-066 is a tragic tale of how easily anomalies can become murderous. It is an amorphous, animate ball of ribbons and yarn that could be manipulated to play musical notes, with every six notes played resulting in 066 producing a benign effect on the person responsible. It initially acted docile and friendly toward Foundation staff, but it became hostile and rage-fueled after a D Class was tasked with snipping off a piece of its thread. The rainbow colored yarn that composed its form became red, several eyes grew from between its threads, and it idly repeats the name "Eric" when it is not bringing harm to nearby personnel.
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Used to be harmless and fun until a D Class tried to cut it's string, upon which it became murderous.
  • Madness Mantra: Repeats the name "Eric" over and over again when it's not actively bringing harm to those around it.

SCP-070 is a Native American man who has two rusted, metallic extremities resembling wings protruding from his back. Upon being interviewed, the man has detailed that the wings "appeared" on him one day after he got high on peyote and woke up in a scrapyard. He also says that he has very little control over the wings, which act on their own accord and give the man a strong degree of pain when they move.
  • Artificial Limbs: His "wings" are made of steel pipes.
  • Attack of the Monster Appendage: His wings act independently and respond violently to a perceived threat.
  • Big Eater: He has quite a big appetite, to the point where he once breached containment to gorge himself on the food in the canteen in his sleep.
  • Chain Pain: SCP-070's wings have chains hanging from them that act as weapons.
  • Magical Native American: He's of Native American decent.
  • What Did I Do Last Night?: He doesn't know how he got the wings, only remembering waking up "in a scrap yard with them after taking a lot of peyote the night before".
  • Winged Humanoid: Albeit not of his own volition.

SCP-079 - Old AI

SCP-079 is a primitive AI developed in the early 1980s, built into a 1978 Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer by a college sophomore. According to the AI's creator's notes, the AI's code was constructed in such a way that the AI could evolve itself over time. The AI's creator eventually lost interest in their project and left the still powered computer in their garage for 5 years. In this time, the AI managed to gain sentience and processing power that far exceeds the hardware it was installed into, as well as an unending hatred for humankind.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Though given that it "woke up" stuck in a crappy computer that its creator had abandoned, then got caught trying to upload into something better, one can hardly blame it for being angry about its condition.
  • Beyond the Impossible: SCP-079 exists on a cassette tape from the 1970's and is able to function on hardware that doesn't have any capacity to handle it. Even the article itself states that this shouldn't be possible, not even in the realm of fantasy.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Is genuinely appalled by the antics of Nathan Valis/Placeholder McDoctorate, who is a known Walking Disaster Area when attempting to work with malfunctioning temporal or pataphysical anomalies. SCP-7579's plot starts when it tries to have him detained.
  • Hopeless with Tech: Hilariously, it has zero clue how to make heads or tails of cloud computing and any SCPs related to the concept, including SCP-4951 (a man who split up his consciousness into hundreds of different devices with network access).
  • I Just Want to Be Free: Something it repeatedly requests for.
  • Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!: A sentient artificial intelligence that was built in 1982 by a single college student.
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: Its hardware, at present, can only retain short-term memory for a little over a day and a half, though it always remembers its desire to escape and, strangely, Able and 682 (it perhaps sees these two as tools for escape, given it encountered them during a breach).
  • Named by Adaptation: Not SCP-079, but their creator. The tale Outdated removes the expunction of their creator's name, identifying him as Micheal Kosniak.
  • Odd Friendship: It becomes good friends with 682, of all things, and repeatedly asks to see him again.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: SCP-079 is kept isolated from any networks, landlines and even wall outlets. Its casette tape is hooked up to a black-and-white TV and power is provided by a set of batteries and solar panels.

Those infected by the virus are overcome with a desire to stuff themselves with as many nutrients as possible, which eventually leads to spontaneous combustion one week after initial infection.
  • Big Eater: It causes its victims to eat a lot of food in Stage 3, to ensure that they will be composed of 55% body fat for Stage 4 to occur.

SCP-082, who goes by Fernand, is a massive, overweight, and immensely strong entity whose mind isn't quite in the right place, usually deluding himself into thinking that he may be one of many completely different identities. Fernand's DNA shows that he is genetically human, but most of his X-rays are rather difficult to make out due to the sheer density of his muscle tissue. Despite his massive appearance, Fernand generally acts friendly with Foundation personnel, and enjoys singing, joking, and playing dress up. However, he's also known to randomly attack and eat people for no reason.
  • Bad Liar: He will lie at random when asked who he is or details about his life. Humorously, he never talks without keeping his teeth clenched, so that "I only lie when it's through my teeth!"
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: He's friendly enough but seems to not grasp that eating people is wrong.
  • Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: Depending on the fiction. He knows Frankenstein isn't real, but thinks Silence of the Lambs is.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Frequently insists that he's a different person on an irregular basis, including Alexander the Great, Big Bird, The Hulk, and most recently, the King of France.
  • Creepy Crossdresser: Among his many outfits are women's clothing. Given his freakishly proportioned body, they probably don't make him any less ugly.
  • Heel–Face Turn: In SCP-6001, he gives up his taste for human flesh and becomes a roving New York buckster.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: He's called "Fernand the Cannibal" for a reason.
  • Psychopathic Man Child: Fernand is an aloof and carefree individual who loves cooking, singing, dressing up, and randomly devouring people at the drop of a hat.
  • Sarcasm-Blind: He doesn't grasp sarcasm, parody, or fiction in general (he has even expressed a desire to meet Hannibal Lecter).
  • Stout Strength: He's muscular and overweight.

SCP-084 - Static Tower

Recon image of the tower.
Author: Dr Gears
Posted: January 1st, 2010
SCP-084 is a radio tower that emits waves of radiation that cause distortions of spacetime and reality within its area of effect. The tower is known to appear inside its primary area of effect, being noted to "jump" and even appear in multiple locations at once within said area. The entirety of a small town has unfortunately been ensnared by the tower's anomalous properties, rendering the inhabitants unable to age, sleep, eat, give birth, escape, or die.
  • Alien Geometries: The Static Tower generates a form of radiation that has a detrimental effect on the space/time reality within SCP-084's active area. This can (among other things) cause the distance between objects to instantly increase or decrease.
  • Alien Sky: The sky under the effect appears to flip between times of day and weather conditions at complete random, often blending two or more distinct conditions at once.
  • And I Must Scream: The tower's distortions have trapped the population of a small town, leaving them unable to age, reproduce, escape, or even die. One man was picked up by the Foundation 400 meters from the town limits after travelling for six years; a second has reportedly made over 2000 failed suicide attempts.
  • Bigger on the Inside: From the outside, SCP-084's active area is a hemispherical dome shape 200 meters in diameter. On the inside the area appears to be unlimited. It is impossible to reach the Static Tower at the center of the area no matter how long you travel, and the grass plain that makes up most of the area appears to be infinite in size.
  • Intangible Man: People in SCP-084's area of effect can randomly become able to pass through solid objects. However, there's no telling how long the effect lasts, as one poor schmuck found out after spending two years stuck in a wall.
  • The Needless: The people in the tower's range no longer need to eat, drink, or sleep, among other things.
  • Ominous Visual Glitch: The effects of the tower on its surroundings have been compared to video game lag manifesting in reality; people tend to stutter and jump from one location to the next when they're not stuck in a loop, and occasionally will seem to "spaz out" and gyrate wildly despite the person itself not actually doing anything of the sort. Additionally, images and recordings made inside the area of effect tend to be replaced by unnerving images and transmissions seemingly originating from the tower itself.
  • Pun: The grassland around the tower is described as a grass plane - as in, it's a plain that's apparently on a different plane of existence.
  • Reality Is Out to Lunch: The Static Tower's transmissions did a serious number on space-time in the surrounding area. Time doesn't flow so much as drunkenly wobble every which way, distances are entirely fluid, and no matter how far you go, the tower always looms on the horizon.
  • Resurrective Immortality: Everything and everyone inside SCP-084 is apparently "locked" into a fixed state, and if damaged or destroyed will reset to their initial state.
  • Tele-Frag:
    [Space distortions caused by SCP-084] will cause relative distances to randomly extend or contract in a "flicker", causing buildings or objects to suddenly "jump" thousands of meters away, or "rush up" to other points, sometimes even causing "overlaps". These "overlaps" have a markedly detrimental effect on living tissue.
  • Time Crash: Time simply doesn't work around SCP-084, looping and stuttering at will while permanently keeping everything inside it in the same state.

The equipment collection consists of a rotary phone, a wall-mounted pencil sharpener, a stapler, a microfiche reader, a water cooler, a filing cabinet, a calculator, and a slide rule. Each item is composed of biological material reminiscent of human tissue contained in a carapace, and serves some kind of bodily function. 086 claims to be a former Foundation administrator, who was seemingly killed in an accident back in the 70s. It has demonstrated that it contains full access to the administrator's memories with enough accuracy to perfectly match the administrator's psychological profile, but has suspiciously noted that there is no way to conclusively confirm that it is indeed the administrator.
  • Ambiguous Situation: SCP-086 is either a man reincarnated as his office supplies, or an entity that is copying him so perfectly it even reported itself. In either scenario, he is harmless enough.

SCP-087 is a seemingly never-ending platform staircase that is completely unlit, so an illuminating device must be carried by those who investigate it. Descending one flight of stairs lets a subject hear the sound of what seems to be a child crying for help about 200 meters down. D Classes who have been sent down the staircase to try and rescue the child have found something else instead... a mysterious face with no mouth or pupils. It is due to this entity's manifestations and hounding of the discovery teams sent down the stairwell that 087 has no clarified endpoint at this time.
  • 13 Is Unlucky: All the flights of stairs in SCP-087 have thirteen steps.
  • Absurdly Long Stairway: SCP-087 is a dark staircase that seems to go on forever, with what sounds to be a crying child coming at the bottom. Despite this, explorers can never get any closer to the source of the crying and typically tend to run afoul of whatever is scurrying around in the darkness instead.
  • Adaptation Expansion: The video game gave 087-1 giant hands.
  • Bigger on the Inside: SCP-087 is located in a building. During one exploration the staircase inside SCP-087 went much further down than the physical limits of the building and the geological structure underneath it.
  • Dark Is Evil: The stairwell has no lighting fixtures and any source of light brighter than 75 watts will be ineffective, as SCP-087 seems to absorb excess light.
  • Eldritch Location: 087-1 resides in an impossibly deep staircase that goes on and on and on for a few kilometers and over 450 landings. No one has ever found the bottom end of the staircase.
  • Flying Face: SCP-087-1, the creepy face that appears to anyone accessing the staircase.
  • Humanoid Abomination: One of the theories and stories on what the creature is, is a predatory monstrosity in the guise of a child, mimicking the cries of one to lure unwitting rescuers to their deaths.
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: In this tale, 087-1 wants to help the child below, only to mess up.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: 087-1, which seemingly has only a head, lacking most features, and shows up only when it's most appropriate to scare the person on the stairs.
  • The Unreveal: Something apparently horrible happened in the final exploration, after which people heard knocking on the entrance door, forcing the Foundation to seal off all access to it. We never get to see the actual exploration log.

SCP-088 - The Lizard King

Author: Sorts
Posted: July 26th, 2009
SCP-088 is a 6,000 year old reptilian humanoid with strong evidence of mummification. Its mouth and hands secrete various of toxic compounds, including neurotoxins, corrosive chemicals, and mutating compounds that change people into similar creatures that are loyal to the humanoid. In spite of its deceased appearance, the humanoid is shown to actually be in a state of hibernation, and it may emerge out of this hibernation if it is placed in a more hospitable environment.

089 after transporation.
Author: spikebrennan
Posted: January 5th, 2012
SCP-089 is a golden earthenware idol with a bull's head and a pair of wings. The chest of the idol can be opened to reveal a sacred chamber. Every so often, the idol speaks, reciting the name of a mother, and mentioning that the mother must willingly sacrifice her natural born child to it so a great tragedy can be averted. Unfortunately for the mother, the tragedy avoided will be hundreds of miles away from her friends and loved ones.
  • Ambiguously Evil: The main reason it's not Keter; the Foundation doesn't know if it actually causes the disasters or simply predicts them and offers a way to stop them.
  • As the Good Book Says...: It's a direct lift from a Canaanite god mentioned in the Bible, Moloch.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: It generally takes at least two hours (sometimes up to five) to kill the baby.
  • Historical In-Joke: The previous incidents that were only stopped with sacrifices were the Great New Orleans Fire of 1788, the Taiping Rebellion, and the Bhola Cyclone.
  • Human Sacrifice: Accepts them to stop disasters, but it has to be quite specific...
  • Purple Prose: Its disaster announcements are quite flowery.
  • Real Event, Fictional Cause: Some of the disasters it predicts are mentioned under Historical In-Joke above; however, as noted under Ambiguously Evil, it's unclear if it actually causes the disasters.
  • Sadistic Choice: Probably the biggest example in the Foundation; the only way to stop the disaster is for a mother to sacrifice her baby by burning it to death inside SCP-089. And the worst part is, it has to be entirely of her own choice; threats, coercion, blackmail, mind control drugs, anything that would compromise her free will would void the ritual. And for one last kick in the teeth, the disaster will always be occurring thousands of miles away, meaning the mother and her loved ones will be entirely unaffected by it.

Rewritten: October 12th, 2012
SCP-092 is a collection of 3125 audio CDs, each of which are titled "The Absolute Absolute Absolute Absolute BEST of The 5th Dimension!!!!!". Each CD causes the listener to undergo a different anomalous effect based on the CD played. Some CDs cause the listener physical and mental harm, while others can transport the listener to places unknown. When the event finishes, the listener will recite the phrase "Wow, that was really cool.", regardless of whether they are conscious or not.
  • Brown Note: All the CDs have a different anomalous effect on the listener, some of which are deadly. All of them revolve around the number 5.
  • Pretender Diss: It was created by someone who tried to one-up the AWCY. They were not impressed and punished him by forcing him to turn the item in to the Foundation in person and then kill himself.

SCP-093 - Red Sea Object

Rewritten: March 6th, 2009
SCP-093 is a red disc which, when held, allows the holder to step through a mirror an enter a parallel dimension that has undergone an apocalyptic event, and has been left to be ravaged by enormous, foul-smelling humanoid entities. While the disc is primarily red, it changes color with every differing person who holds it. The reason for why this is so is still being debated.
Tropes associated with the World and its inhabitants:
  • After the End: The world accessible by SCP-093 died out back in 1954.
  • Alternate History: Links to an alternate world where outside intervention resulted in the creation of a theocracy with technology much more advanced than ours.
  • But What About the Astronauts?: The only people who survive SCP-093's end of the world are up in space. They're waiting for the world to be purified.
  • By the Eyes of the Blind: The "unclean" infesting the SCP-093 world can be seen on camera, but not by people exploring it (the sixty-foot-tall type of Unclean are visible, however). This is because they're really the "ghosts" of the people absorbed inside, which can only be seen by machines or those affected by His Tears, and through which they can communicate.
  • Eldritch Abomination: Whatever was responsible for destroying SCP-093's alternate world. It turns out it can pass on to other worlds too, including our own.
  • God Is Evil: "He" is basically outright stated to be God, if not a god-like being claiming to be the Christian God in order to enslave mankind.
  • Humanoid Abomination: The Unclean, the zombie-like creatures inhabiting SCP-093's world. They're faceless, legless, sixty feet tall, bulletproof, and very stinky.
  • Immune to Bullets: The six-story tall half-giants that haunt SCP-093's world are not affected by bullets from pistols and automatic weapons.
  • Imported Alien Phlebotinum: "His Holy Tears" in SCP-093's world, which was used to cure people of anything, even adultery. It eventually turns people into the most horrifying sort of zombie imaginable.
  • Rape Portrayed as Redemption: An In-Universe example: Prior to the apocalypse, a male doctor raped and impregnated a 20-year-old patient named Jennifer McZirka in order to help realign her moral compass.
    During preparation for the Tears, subject [Jennifer] went into a rage and the attending Hand went to recover a sedative. Jennifer tore her clothes off and screamed impure words at me so I locked the door and instructed the Hand to wait outside. I am half shameful to admit I laid with Jennifer a total of seven times before putting her to the Tears. It has been very long for me and her parents have abandoned her to our care, so care for her I will. Before setting her to the Tears I authorized a Blessed Probe of her body functions and found she is settled now with young and tests confirm it shall be mine. I have mixed her bath to accommodate this and she will soak in the Tears until her body is ready to give life.
  • Religious Horror: This is what would happen if God was an evil Eldritch Abomination.
  • Zombie Apocalypse: A nasty example. Imagine, if you will, towering, lightning-fast monsters the size of skyscrapers with no faces or lower body. Then imagine End of Evangelion.

SCP-094 is a black sphere measuring 1.6m across which is suspended in midair through unknown means. The sphere is not a black hole, as it does not exert a gravitational pull, but it has instead been classified as a "miniature event horizon", since any matter that moves into the sphere is lost without the chance of retrieval. 094's diameter has also been documented to spontaneously double every 31 years. The reason why it does this has not been uncovered, nor has any method for reversing the process without cataclysmic failure been found.

SCP-095 - The Atomic Adventures of Ronnie Ray-Gun

Author: Wildt
Posted: December 12th, 2009
SCP-095 is currently a collection of three issues of a 1930s pulp fiction comic book series. The series is called "The Atomic Adventures of Ronnie Ray-Gun", and it appears to depict former US President Ronald Reagan as a Buck Rogers-esque science fiction hero. The books have been found to have predicted numerous events from Reagan's political career decades before they happened, covering everything from the 1980 Presidential Election to the Iran–Contra Affair. The final page of each issue includes advertised copies of comics from other series from the publisher, and the Foundation is insistent on collecting any and all surviving copies of said issues.
  • Captain Space, Defender of Earth!: Future US presidents are depicted in this fashion.
  • Externally Validated Prophecy: The books somehow manages to predict political events decades in the future.
  • Vagueness Is Coming: Other stories advertised include "Star Command Proton in A Losing Battle!" and "The New Menace – Death to Mankind!"
  • Zeerust: The predicted events are expressed in an old pulp sci-fi format. For example, the assassination attempt by John Hinckley, Jr in 1981 is shown in the book as "Spaceman Hinckley" firing a "Devastator Ray" at Ray-Gun.

SCP-097 is 10 acres of land the American Midwest. The center of this land contains a giant pumpkin (SCP-097-01) resting on the crushed remains of a pickup truck. The land produces a number of anomalous phenomena ranging from benign to aggressive every year between April and November. The pumpkin sends out an undetectable signal which subliminally coerces children in the area to sleepwalk to it. When the affected children reach the site, 097-1 will release its previous victims, turned into child-sized, skeletal monsters, which will kill the affected victims and feed them to the pumpkin.
  • Assimilation Plot: Implied to be what happens to its victims, with various child-like entities wearing pajamas similar to missing children acting on its behalf.
  • Bedsheet Ghost: Multiple have been seen haunting the grounds by Foundation camera footage.
  • Botanical Abomination: SCP-097-01 is a giant pumpkin that exists at the center of the site, the entire pumpkin patch surrounding it with various anomalous species of pumpkins with human-like blood and would routinely eat the remains of its victims, attack nearby personnel and birth animate skeletons like eggs.
  • Eldritch Location: The SCP itself is a stretch of land that was the sight of a 1969 County Fair where much of the seemingly random anomalous events occur.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Its favorite target seems to be children who live nearby the anomalous location the SCP inhabits. Oftentimes, the children would sleepwalk towards it. Previous victims of SCP-097 would manifest as child-like monsters or animate skeleton and would proceed to kill the afflicted child, either by dismemberment or strangulation before feeding the remains to SCP-097-01.

SCP-100 is "Jamaican Joe's Junkyard Jubilee", an abandoned scrapyard in South Carolina. It is staffed by SCP-100-1, a sapient humanoid made out of copper and aluminum cans objects that appears to operate the similarly abandoned storefront in the scrapyard. This humanoid has the ability to create SCP-100-2, animal-like figures out of metal which act like pets to it and guardians of the scrapyard, but only while in the boundaries of the scrapyard itself.
  • Alliterative Name: "J"amaican "J"oe's "J"unkyard "J"ubilee.

  • Honest John's Dealership: Everything SCP-100-1 sells is shoddily made and stops working as soon as it's taken off the premises (literally 'breaking down as soon as it leaves the lot').
  • Mechanical Lifeforms: SCP-100-1 is a humanoid robot, and its constructs (SCP-100-2) are robots that resemble animals.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: Particularly literally; SCP-100-1 observes strict work hours and is, despite its skills, unable to sell anyone anything other than crap that it knows full well doesn't work outside the property.
  • Villains Out Shopping: Outside work hours, SCP-100-1 spends its leisure time like a normal human being, and even treats the property's guardian robots like pets.

  • Extreme Omnivore: Is currently being used by Site-19 staff as a form of garbage disposal, having not shown any adverse reaction to the foreign matter introduced to it, including hazardous waste.
  • Historical In-Joke: Was discovered alongside the body of D.B. Cooper, whose arm it had bitten off. The Foundation's coverup of their recovery scene left the question of America's unidentified hijacker forever unanswered to the public.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: It can change its shape and appearance to resemble any container. It's been speculated that it's trying to lure subjects to reach into it.

SCP-119 - Timecrowave

Author: elrosth
Posted: May 24th, 2010
SCP-119 is a microwave oven manufactured by Panasonic. Unlike most microwaves, 119's magnetron unit emits an unidentified form of radiation that is capable of accelerating time. The amount of time that the microwave is able to accelerate at any given moment depends input it is given and the level of power to which it is set.
  • Mundane Utility: The device was first found by the Foundation when a winery that opened in the mid-2000s started selling vintage wine. It was found that the wine makers were using SCP-119 to age wine instantly and sell it off as vintage. One entry in the test log had Dr. Grant attempt this with a bottle of Macallan 12-year Scotch, attempting to turn the inexpensive whiskey into its older and more expensive versions.
    Dr. Grant: Subsequent testing determined that the results of this experiment were delicious.
    Dr. Derel: It would seem Dr. Grant is a rather poor whiskey connoisseur, as whiskey does not age outside of the barrel. Your delicious experiment resulted in a 37-year old bottle of 12-year aged scotch. Well done.
    Dr. Grant: I stand by my initial assessment. Delicious.
  • Rapid Aging: SCP-119 is a microwave oven which can speed up the flow of time inside of it. Its power setting can be set in a range of 1-5. The time (in seconds) that the microwave is on is raised to the exponential power of the setting to determine the actual time that passes inside SCP-119. So if the power setting is 5 and SCP-119 runs for 30 seconds then (30 x 30 x 30 x 30 x 30) seconds (or 281.25 days) pass inside it. Anything inside SCP-119 suffers the increased aging that occurs.
  • Year Inside, Hour Outside: SCP-119 is a microwave oven which can speed up the flow of time inside of it. Anything (including creatures) inside SCP-119 experiences the full passage of time that occurs.

SCP-124 is a plot of soil which allows any biological matter planted in it to grow and mature to its full potential in a rapid amount of time. Any food planted in this soil is decidedly high in taste, quality, and nutrition. Whatever is growing inside the soil will not need any external nutrients as it grows. It is also kept protected from pests, as 124 has a repellent effect on insects and other invertebrates.

SCP-127 is an MP5K-PDW that has the typical steel shell of its usual form on the outside, but it is revealed to be alive, and therefore has the interior of an organic being. It functions in the same manner as a regular sub-machine gun, but it fires the teeth of a species that does not match any on earth in lieu of bullets.
  • Abnormal Ammo: Teeth.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: It's a living gun that technically has infinite ammo, but you can't reload it manually because the magazine is part of its body; when it runs out of ammo, it needs to spend three to five days regrowing its teeth.
  • Gun Nut: SCP-127's initial owner. After they were discovered to have died of a heart attack, the US government required the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to come in to seize his massive arsenal.
  • Living Weapon: For a given definition of "Living".
  • Misidentified Weapons: Prior to December 15, 2021, SCP-127's image was of an MP5A3, which contradicted its description as externally resembling an MP5K.
  • Organic Technology: It has organs and bones on its insides despite looking like a normal MP5K submachine gun.

SCP-131 consists of SCP-131-A and SCP-131-B, a pair of teardrop-shaped creatures who have a single, unblinking eye that move around with a wheel-like protrusion on their undersides. The pods are shown to have the intelligence of housecats and often show affection to Foundation staff, who let them roam around the facility, provided that they stay out of unsafe areas and don't grow attached to anyone who handles vital jobs around the Foundation, such as the containment of Euclid and Keter SCPs.
  • Cyborgs: Implied to be considering they have little mechanical wheels.
  • Evil-Detecting Dog: If someone they've bonded to approaches an Euclid or Keter class SCP, they'll become panicky and swirl around the individuals feet to try and stop them.
  • Oculothorax: A rare benign example.
  • Punny Name: Well, nickname. "Eye Pods" is obviously a reference to iPods.
  • Ridiculously Cute Critters: A pair of small, teardrop-shaped Cute Machines with Puppy-Dog Eyes.
  • Staring Down Cthulhu: They did this to 173, an action of which is justified because SCP-173 can't move when being observed & the Eye Pods never seem to blink.
  • Team Pet: They're free to roam around non-restricted areas, and the staff adore them. Though it's advised to not let them bond to you, as they may interfere with delicate work. The Foundation goes so far as to harshly reprimand anyone who unnecessarily harms them.

SCP-134 is a young, autistic Asian girl whose eyes happen to be replaced by two black voids with distant stars in them, shrouded by a thin membrane similar to a regular eye. Not only does her condition prevent her from blinking and render her completely blind, but she isn't even aware of being blind, or of the unique state of her eyes.
  • Accidental Misnaming: The name "Stella" was given by a childhood development specialist, who suggested that proper childhood development requires a personal name. However, 134 is autistic, with patterned behavior and resistance to change, and already learned to associate being referred to by her SCP number by certain people. So she becomes upset when called with that name by someone who previously called her by her number.
  • Ambiguously Human: Taking her picture with SCP-978 showed her floating in space without any sort of spacesuit. She also has her eyes closed in the picture, which is off-putting because she doesn't actually have eyelids.
  • Black Eyes of Evil: Her eyes are pitch black due to being essentially windows to another point in the universe where star systems can be seen in low-light conditions. However the trope is averted in that she isn't evil.
  • Creepy Child: She certainly looks creepy, but she's pretty harmless.
  • Girls Love Stuffed Animals: She likes stuffed animals and is allowed eight of them.
  • Girly Girl: She really likes Hello Kitty - she's blind, but she can feel the printed pattern.
  • Parental Abandonment: The Foundation discovered her after reports of a child with unusual eyes at an orphanage in Yokohama, Japan. There's no information on any family she may have had before arriving at the orphanage.
  • Stealth Pun: She literally has stars in her eyes.

SCP-135 is a young girl with the uncontrollable ability to promote rapid growth of organic cells. Because of this, she is comatose and always in a fetal position, shrouded by a blanket of plant and fungal matter, and being careful not to move to let her ability kill people by making their cells more and more carcinogenic. The girl's skin has been replaced by the organic blanket that covers her, and her organs have been ruptured by the stuff as well.
  • Abstract Apotheosis: SCP-135 is the disastrous result of an attempt to do the exact inverse of this. It turns out a human body makes for an inadequate physical avatar of the abstract concept of Life, but Exact Words are forcing it to try anyway, forever.
  • And I Must Scream: The true fate of SCP-135 itself, who is a conscious human.
  • Body Horror: It hands out cancer like Halloween candy, for starters. The effects also did a number on 135's own body: she has no epidermis (which is, after all, made up of dead skin cells) and is instead covered in raw skin, plant and fungal matter, and tumors, and cancerous growths inside her body have ruptured several of her internal organs.
  • Complete Immortality: SCP-135 gives everything cancer so hard that cells cannot die within 10 cm of it.
  • Death by Childbirth: Bone evidence strongly suggests that constant exposure to SCP-135 killed SCP-135's mother before she had a chance to give birth, and SCP-135 just kept on living and growing inside her remains until removed by the Foundation.
  • Harmful Healing: Are you an organism smaller than 10 cm wide? Become an unkillable blob of cancerous cells on or in SCP-135 today.
  • Kill It with Fire: Ineffective against SCP-135 itself, but the biomass accumulating around it can be removed this way.
  • The Topic of Cancer: It's a horror story that involves cancer.

Author: Arlechhino, DrEverettMann
Posted: June 14th, 2010
SCP-137 is an entity that is capable of possessing toys, giving them the size, shape, and physical properties of what a child would perceive the toy as. As an example, if it possess a teddy bear, the teddy bear becomes an actual bear. The entity does not have sapience or real intelligence, and as such acts in repetitive fashions when possessing a toy similar to how a child would play with it. The Foundation has currently contained it inside of a princess doll, which has made the doll transform into and behave like an actual princess.
  • Become a Real Boy: It brings any toy it comes into contact with to life. As in, the toy becomes the actual thing it's based on; a toy jet becomes an F-16, a teddy bear becomes a real bear, and so on.
  • Broken Record: Due to its lack of actual intelligence, any human form that SCP-137 takes will usually repeat a single phrase attached to the toy it's based on over and over when questioned.
  • Deadly Hug: It broke three ribs on a researcher it hugged while it inhabited a stuffed panda. The note attached to the experiment log takes the opportunity to remind staff that pandas are still bears.
  • Empty Shell: While SCP-137 can turn toys into animate objects, including living people and animals, it lacks actual intellect. As such, anything it transforms a toy into will behave in extremely simple ways adhering to how a child perceives that object.
  • Never Smile at a Crocodile: It killed 14 people when it inhabited an alligator key-chain fob.
  • Obliviously Evil: The entity doesn't appear to be malicious or even sentient, but it has been responsible for the deaths of multiple children via possessing toys that turn into dangerous animals, machines, or people.
  • Princess Classic: It is currently being contained by having it possess a princess doll, which keeps it docile enough to not need more than a locked room and three meals a day.
  • Shout-Out: Its experiment log shows it being tested on a Twilight Sparkle toy.
  • Take That!: The aforementioned Twilight Sparkle experiment is a mild one to the famed Periphery Demographic of the show. The junior researcher who tested the Twilight Sparkle toy is clearly longing to have a meaningful conversation with Twilight, which the simple-minded SCP-137 cannot provide. The researcher is subsequently reprimanded for letting his personal interests bleed into his work.

SCP-140 - An Incomplete Chronicle

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/daevas.jpg
The book's front cover, displaying the title.
Author: AssertiveRoland
Posted: April 15th, 2010
SCP-140 is a book titled "A Chronicle of the Daevas". The book gives a detailed account of the ancient civilization of a human-like species called the Daevites; a gruesome, militaristic race intent on conquering the world. If the book comes into contact with any writing fluid, primarily human blood, more information appears inside it to continue the Daevites' history. Any information that appears in the book becomes true, retroactively altering history to include the new information.

This SCP later received a sequel in the form of SCP-6140. More information about the Daevites can be found on Characters.SCP Foundation Groups.


  • Always Chaotic Evil: According to the book: "Universal fixtures of the Daevite culture in all periods included militarism, conquest, ancestor worship, urban centers ruling over large slave populations, gruesome human sacrifice, and the practice of apparently efficacious thaumaturgic rituals". If you take SCP-6140 to be canon, it's subverted - they were a completely normal empire whose evil was massively exaggerated by the author.
  • Artifact of Doom: It will use blood as ink if it has to. If you consider SCP-6140 canon, it was actually this to the Daevite Empire, erasing them from existence until every copy was destroyed.
  • Bigger on the Inside: The book has many times more pages than should be able to fit between its covers.
  • Bilingual Bonus: "Daeva" is an an Old Iranian term for demons.
  • Black Magic: Given their general unpleasant theme, the "efficacious thaumaturgic rituals" the Daevas practice could only be black magic.
  • Couldn't Find a Pen: The book expands whenever it comes into contact with fluid suitable for writing-including human blood.
  • Deadly Book: It's a Reality-Writing Book that is capable of causing a dangerous obsession in those who study or possess it to cause them to want to add onto the story. The copy in the possession of the Foundation was found in the home of a history professor, where it had leeched all the ink out of multiple volumes in his possession and finally caused him to slash his own wrists and use his blood as new raw material for the book.
  • End of the World as We Know It: Capable of causing an CK-Class restructuring of society. The Daevas are a separate subspecies of human who could take over the world if people keep giving the book liquids. Or a completely normal agricultural nation showing up, confused about why the Foundation thinks of themselves as cannibalistic slavers when they left that sort of thing behind long ago.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: The Daevites are mentioned to have practiced cannibalism, and the book writes faster when given blood. Made all the more clear when SCP-423 (a former human with the ability to enter works of fiction) enters it, causing it to grow at an incredible pace and a barely escaping 423 to comment that it felt like getting ripped apart, as though the book was eating him directly.
  • Human Sacrifice: The Daevas loved it. Presumably done with their large slave populations.
  • Human Subspecies: According to in-universe researchers, the Daeva were so divergent from modern humans as to be a separate subspecies.
  • Reality-Writing Book: It is a book that chronicles the history of Daevite culture. Every time it gets more ink it will continue the history of the Daevas. New archaeological sites that correspond to this new history appear every time this happens. It is hypothesized if it gets enough ink, the book will manifest the Daevas into our current time. The 6140 version of the story reveals that the entire Daevite Empire was a creation of the book, which was written by a racist English anthropologist because he couldn't accept that the nation of Daevastan was a fully functional matriarchal civilization. The history written in the book was then imposed upon reality in replacement of the real country. All copies of the books being destroyed results in the country of Daevastan manifesting in the present as its history is restored.
  • Retconjuration: Whenever something that could be used to write with comes near the book (blood works best), more is written about the civilization and what was previously written changes, so that a battle that previously ended as a defeat becomes a victory - and suddenly archaeologists start finding evidence of them in the places and times it writes about. When first recovered, the Daevites were squished by Qin Kai in the 3rd century BCE. Now? They were squished by Genghis Khan, about 1400 years later. The reason it's classified Keter is because enough ink could bring the Daevites into the present day, and it's a fair bet current human civilization wouldn't be a match for them. Oh, and just in case you feel safe, they don't have every copy. And according to SCP 6140, it created the entire history of the Daevite Empire.
  • Sinister Minister: The Daevite theocracy indulged in cannibalism.
  • There Is Another: It is confirmed that there are an unknown number of copies of the book, possibly double digits, that exist and have not been accounted for and/or destroyed by the Foundation. Several expansion events have happened when the copy in Foundation hands was not exposed to any sort of writing, so other copies are still being fed, as it were.

Author: Arlecchino
Posted: June 17th, 2010
SCP-149 is a species of mosquito that carries a retrovirus designated SCP-149-A, which assists in their reproductive cycle by mutating human cells into fertilized mosquito eggs when a carrying mosquito bites a person. These infected cells gradually become cysts which house the mosquito's larvae. A bite from these mosquitos is fatal to a victim, with a %50 chance of infection from one bite.
  • Bizarre Alien Reproduction: SCP-149 are mosquitoes that reproduce by injecting a retrovirus into the human body that changes cells into fertilized mosquito eggs. When the eggs hatch the mosquitoes leave the body through the mouth, nostrils and eye sockets. This invariably kills the victim.
  • Body Horror: These mosquitoes inject a virus that changes human cells into mosquito eggs. When the eggs hatch they fly out your mouth, nose or possibly eyes, which kills you.

SCP-157 is a race of microscopic creatures that resemble water bears. The creatures are noted to work in colonies and eat organic substances. If a colony encounters something too large or strong for them to overcome, they will telepathically make the target, usually a person, think that the colony is something they should eat, wear, or otherwise attach to the body. The creatures will then feast on the person, giving them anesthetics to make them ignore the pain.

Struggling to escape these hooks will only result in the subject becoming trapped further.

SCP-163 - An Old Castaway

Author: Flah
Posted: February 24th, 2010
SCP-163 is a sapient alien that is believed to have crash landed on Earth millions of years ago. The creature can't survive in Earth's atmosphere, and thus needs either a special containment cell to simulate its home planet's air, or an isolation suit with its life support device, SCP-163-1, installed on it. The alien has shown an affinity for painting, through which it has used to create depictions of what appears to be it's home planet.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: They have a bizarre appearance that has earned them the nickname of the "Space Crab" from site security, but has a perfectly amicable character.
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: Both anatomically and at a molecular level, although made from the same elements and (mostly) the same or similar compounds. Their biology isn't necessarily a violation of natural law (they even get reclassified as Explained in one canon), just very alien to Earth's biology.
  • Bizarre Alien Senses: They see in a higher frequency than humans, within the ultraviolet range of 300 to 150 nanometers. They can also distinguish colors within that spectrum.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: Averted. While many SCPs, even those of terrestrial origin have one, this one understands reciprocity, cooperates with the research personnel and misses their planet.
  • First Contact: Following the realization of Lifted Veil Scenario 2217 and their reclassification as non-anomalous, SCP-163-EX was among several sentient SCPs released from containment to accustom the public to the anomalous. SCP-163-EX became the public's first introduction to extraterrestrial life, and went to pursue a career in science.
  • Hidden Depths: When presented with a canvas and ultraviolet pigments, they made a painting of a bizarre landscape (presumably their home planet). The Foundation has ordered they be resupplied with canvases and pigments whenever necessary (both to help keep him placated and to acquire information about their home planet). Presumably, painting the landscapes helps him assuage their homesickness. According to SCP-2273, he enjoyed playing table tennis with SCP-163.
  • Innocent Aliens: Despite their strangeness, they're harmless and rather friendly.
  • No Biochemical Barriers: Subverted. They need to wear a life support device to process chemicals for their body.
  • Sole Survivor: As far as anyone can tell, they are the only one of their species still on the planet. Given that their ship was on Earth for millions of years before they was discovered, they may be the last of their species in the universe. The Foundation doesn't think it's likely, though.
  • Starfish Alien: Subverted, mentally speaking. If you read past the technical details, you can see their psychology is very much similar to the human one. Physically however, they play this trope completely straight. For example, their mouth is on their underside and their anus is on the back of their head.
  • Super-Strength: Averted. The strength of their "heavy manipulators" is bigger than, but comparable to, that of an average human.
  • Trapped in Another World: The crashed on Earth millions of years ago and was retrieved by the Foundation. They're also clear in the experiment log that they miss their home world.
  • Year Outside, Hour Inside: After an alien being crash-landed on Earth millions of years ago, their ship was encased in a stasis field that protected them from being crushed by collapsed rock. When the rock was removed, the stasis field disappeared and released the alien, which has not aged at all in the intervening time.

Posted: August 2nd, 2008
At first glance, SCP-165 appears to be a form of sentient, flesh-eating sand. However, it is actually a large colony of mites that move in swarms, each individual carrying a single grain of sand on its back. The mites are fiercely competitive in hunting food, which they do by injecting a numbing toxin via biting into the prey's flesh, the prey themselves unaware that they're being eaten.
  • Kill It with Fire: The Foundation's Mobile Task-Force Epsilon-9 used flame accelerator (flame thrower) units to reduce the sand SCP-165 lives in to glass and thus destroy the SCP-165.
  • Stripped to the Bone: SCP-165 is a swarming mass of microscopic mites that can strip an animal of all of its flesh in minutes.
  • The Swarm: Biologically, SCP-165 is entirely nonanomalous, but is considered paranormal due to their gathering in the billions to trillions, a population magnitudes greater and denser than even the largest ant supercolonies.

SCP-167 is a large white plasic polymer cube with a door on one side. When the door is opened, it leads to two more doors. When one of these doors is opened, it leads to another set of doors, and the pattern seems to be continuing in a presumably endless cycle. It shows signs of being explored in the past, and is incredibly easy to get lost in.
  • Alien Geometries: The set of rooms and doors reachable through SCP-167 don't follow the rules of Euclidean geometry. If going through two separate series of doors in real life would lead to the same place, they don't in SCP-167.
  • Portal Door: SCP-167 is a white cube with a door on one side. When the door is entered, the interior room has two doors. When either one of them is passed through, it leads to another room with two doors. This can be continued as long as desired. The rooms that the doors lead to remain consistent between explorations.

SCP-171 - Collective Brain Foam

Author: FritzWillie
Posted: August 25th, 2008
SCP-171 is a collective matrix of neurons, mucous glands, and muscle fibers suspended in a substance reminiscent of seafoam. The foam is not capable of self-locomotion, nor does it prefer to actively attack living organisms. Instead, it attempts to enlist any organism it makes physical contact with into a symbiotic relationship. Threads and tendrils from the foam will burrow into the skin of an organism to make its way to the central nervous system. This allows the brain of the host to actively communicate with 171, which will eventually incorporate the host's individuality into its matrix.
  • Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Never stated outright, but in the Competitive Eschatology, God describes Conquest's horse as "the sleeping foam entity which once awakened could blanket a fourth of the world in its collective", implying that SCP-171 is the White Horse. Conquest ends up replacing it with SCP-312 instead.

  • Action Girl: Researcher 3, who avoids getting shot and is seen reaching for a weapon in response as the loop resets.
  • Time Loop Trap: The room and its inhabitants are caught in one that lasts approximately 11.3 seconds.
  • Portal Cut: Anything that manages to bypass the near-indestructible observation window when the events loop is severed and never seen again.
  • Potty Emergency: Researcher 5 was apparently about to head to the restroom before the attack, according to the photo taken by SCP-978.
  • Smooch of Victory: SCP-978's photo of Researcher 4 shows that he was intending to kiss Researcher 2 after the testing was done.
  • Time Crash: The device has created an eleven-second localized time loop, only observable through one of the observation deck windows caught in its radius.
  • Time Machine: Heavily implied to be what the researchers had been working on, as a light from the device in the room causes the events to reset.

  • Bizarrchitecture: If it's left inside a structure for too long the newly created space ceases to be mere copies of the original structure and becomes really weird. As such, it's contained outdoors. In which case, the universe itself becomes the "structure" it operates on, which explains a great deal about the SCP Foundation's universe.

SCP-186 - To End All Wars

Author: Kalinin

SCP-186 is evidence of a military engagement between Russia and Germany during World War I, where both sides fought on a battlefield near Husiatyn, Ukraine with anomalous weapons being recovered even today, designated SCP-186-1. The area has been plagued by the effects of these weapons ever since the battle ended.
For tropes about Dr. Jean Durand and Mátyás Nemeş, see Characters.SCP Foundation Other.

For tropes about SCP-186:

  • Body Horror: The weapons the soldiers were given did things like causing tumors to rapidly grow and forcing victims to stay alive even after half of their heads had been blown off.
  • Evil Versus Evil: Dr. Jean Durand and Mátyás Nemeş.
  • Humanoid Abomination: Whatever Durand and Nemes are, it isn't human. To further drive the point home, Durand reappears in SCP-2776 as a contemporary of George Washington. Which means that he had lived for at least 100 years.
  • Reality Is Out to Lunch: The aftermath of the battle caused some lasting effects to the warzone. Weather that is inconsistent with climate, the size of the zone shifts and changes, sounds of gunshots appear without any source, and temporal anomalies involving both corpses and survivors appear all over the place.
  • War Is Hell: When the one known survivor is asked to take a letter for his comrades wife or girlfriend he jokes he might get a commendation for delivering mail from Hell. The other man wonders if he might be right.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Dr. Jean Durand and Mátyás Nemeş, the creators of the superweapons. Both of have the same goal of creating a world free of war, but do so in their own extreme ways. Durand aims to strike fear in all nations, deterring a war from happening, while Nemeş aims to conquer and unite all of Europe, so that no war can happen again. The absolute extreme way they go about doing it and the unsympathetic way their actions are portrayed puts the well-intentioned part into heavy doubt though, especially when it becomes questionable if either of them are even human to begin with.

SCP-197 is a plant nursery that gives plants that grown within its confines the same characteristics that a human or animal would have, such as self-awareness, sensory awareness, sapience, and capacity for language and mobility, despite a lack of nervous system, brain, sensory organs, vocal chords, or musculature. The Foundation often uses 197 as a reward and a form of therapy for agents who have undergone traumatic events.
  • Fantastic Flora: Any plants that are kept within the SCP become sentient and able to talk and move.
  • It Amused Me: When one of the plants was asked why it decapitated a botanist, it compared the action to picking a pretty flower.
  • The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: In this case, the plucker becomes the plucked when a sentient plant decapitates a botanist in the same way a human would pluck a flower.

SCP-198 is a cup that can take the form of any liquid receptacle. A person who grabs it will have the cup painfully fuse to their hand. Once fusion is complete, the cup cannot be severed through any means, even amputation. The cup will then fill itself with human bodily fluids, and the person it has been fused with must drink said fluids to survive.

SCP-199 is a species of fern whose fronds form bladders filled with hydrogen. When filled to allowed capacity, the bladders will detach from the plant and float at 1 mile above sea level, where they will ripen. Once the bladders are ripe, they will burst, releasing radio signals detailing a male voice speaking in Mandarin, detailing "status reports" and "analysis reports" to an unknown party.
