1300- 1349

SCP-1300 - Liquid Surgeon

SCP-1300 is an old dental chair whose anomalous properties originate from the hydraulics column underneath it, normally used to control the height of the chair. Should a subject sit in the chair, four mechanical arms with blunted heads emerge from the column base and hover over the body, "scanning" them through unknown means. Upon finding a suitable location, each arm's head releases a number of surgical instruments. The subject is administered a paralytic agent, after which the arms create small incisions near injection sites and insert a number of tubes inside. The tubes are guided through the subject's body to any artifical or foreign objects located within, such as pacemakers and false teeth. Upon reaching a foreign object, 1300 will pump an unknown enzyme through the tubes, dissolving the object. The resulting liquid is then drawn back through the tube into 1300, appearing to be inert and nontoxic. Upon removing all identified foreign objects, another fluid agent is pumped inside, which repairs damaged organs.

Auto Doc: SCP-1300 looks like a dentist's chair. When someone sits down in it, it injects a paralytic drug and a local anesthetic and starts performing surgery on them. It removes everything foreign to the body (possibly including something the patient needs, like a pacemaker).
Healing Potion: After SCP-1300 finishes its surgery, it pumps an unknown fluid into the patient's body that repairs damaged organs.

SCP-1301 - The Singing Violin

SCP-1301 is a violin of crimson hue with strings made from spider silk, lacking a maker's label or other signs of identification. If the instrument is jostled violently or exposed to human voices, it will enter an active state and its strings will sound audibly for 1 to 13 minutes. Over 13 hours following initial exposure, individuals who have heard the noises will permanently lose their voices and be rendered incapable of speech, singing, or whispering. While these individuals appear to readily understand written and spoken words, their own attempts to write will instead result in musical notation of varying sophistication. The violin's bow, SCP-1301-2, may protect those who hold it from the violin's effects, but cannot reverse them.

The Speechless: Anyone affected by SCP-1301's active state becomes unable to speak or write normally (the latter only results in musical notation being produced).
Voice for the Voiceless: It acts as this when played by anyone that has been affected by its active state. For instance, in the Experiment Log, when Mr. ████ played the music from a scrap of paper he had written on earlier on the violin, it produced the following speech in his voice: "Please get me— Oh, God! Why can't I write?!"

SCP-1302 - Loss Chaser

SCP-1302 is an electronic blackjack machine which exhibits only one physically anomalous property, namely that money fed into it cannot be recovered. When operated, its function is identical to that of any other electronic blackjack game. Dollar notes of any denomination can be inserted, and winnings recovered in the form of payout tickets (designated SCP-1302-2). A successful wager in these circumstances will result in the payout being transferred to the credit meter, where it can be used for further bets or withdrawn in the form of the tickets. A loss causes the credit meter to fall into the negative, relative to the amount bet. A negative balance can be withdrawn in the same manner as a positive one, though instead of an instance of 1302-2, a black ticket will be printed with no markings, but the balance withdrawn at the center (designated SCP-1302-3), composed of an unknown material structurally resembling paper. Within 21 days of 1302-3 being dispensed, the person it was issued to will suffer the loss of possessions up to the value of the figure printed upon it.

SCP-1303 - Hunting Cavern

SCP-1303 is a linked set of natural caverns with one known surface entrance and a series of interconnecting passages. The caverns are host to two potentially related phenomena, designated SCP-1303-1 and SCP-1303-2, that constitute the location's anomalous properties. 1303-1 is an intermittent effect consisting of total absence of acoustic transmission within its area, known to occur in every cavern connected to the network. The phenomenon persists for a variable amount of time, ranging from five minutes to four hours, and its boundaries never extend past those of the cavern it is currently affecting. Within the affected area, no sound waves of any sort can be generated or detected, regardless of whether they would be generated by a source inside the area travelling outward or vice versa. 1303-2 is an effect similar to 1303-1, though instead of actively suppressing sound waves, the phenomenon completely inhibits any production or detection of visual, infrared, or ultraviolet light, manifesting in every cavern except for the entrance, and persists for anywhere from five minutes to over nine hours. From the outside, the phenomenon appears to be a solid, opaque black wall, though it has no physical permanence.

SCP-1304 - Metafictional Rebirth Ritual

SCP-1304 is a form of ritual murder which allows for a fictional character to be brought into reality. Lacking a direct basis in any known culture, the ritual has a lengthy list of requirements which must be performed in a particular order under specific circumstances. If the ritual is performed within a fictional narrative printed by a major publisher no later than one week after the official release date, a child, designated SCP-1304-1, will be born whose life will almost identically mirror that of the character killed in the ritual. Any and all attempts to alter the life of a 1304-1 instance in a way explicitly contradicting the events of the narrative have failed completely.

SCP-1305 - Cat Lure

SCP-1305 is a mammalian organism with an ovoid body and six multi-jointed legs. It has a single large, flexible jaw located on the front of body, containing a long tongue with a "lure" on the end. When active, 1305 will attempt to hide itself in a dark, enclosed area, whereupon it may release the lure, which most commonly resembles a cat. The lure will usually display behaviors expected of a cat as it attempts to bring human subjects to 1305. In most cases, when a subject approaches the lure, it will revert to the shape of a prehensile tongue, wrapping around the subject's body. 1305 will then attempt to bring the subject into its mouth and consume them. As 1305 consumes organic matter, it will create additional lures that it will send into the structure it inhabits. The lures will be highly audible, especially at times when human subjects are within the structure.

Luring in Prey: SCP-1305 can create a lure that appears to be one of its past victims, such as a cat or a human being. It uses the lure to draw human beings close to it so it can attack and eat them.
To Serve Man: SCP-1305's lures bring human subjects to it in order to kill and eat them.

SCP-1306 - Potion of Summon Bird

SCP-1306 is a recipe for bird food which calls for sunflower seeds, peanut butter, and four ingredients not commonly found in bird food, two of which are normally poisonous to birds. Despite the ingredients, birds that consume this food do not show any signs of illness. When 1306 is prepared and placed in an outdoor feeder, a variety of birds will arrive and consume a quantity of 1306. These birds, collectively known as SCP-1306-1, will appear from the nearest unobserved area. Instances generally display properties that would qualify them for containment, including significant deviations from typical avian anatomy or behavior.

Bizarre Alien Biology: The birds summoned by the SCP have bizarre biological characteristics. For instance, a Golden Retriever in a hummingbird costume appeared, and it was able to fly like a hummingbird.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a mixture capable of summoning birds with bizarre characteristics.
The Immune: The birds summoned by the SCP are immune to two of its ingredients, which would be toxic to any normal bird.
Noodle Implements: The recipe for SCP-1306 requires sunflower seeds, peanut butter, and four unspecified ingredients, with two of them usually poisonous to birds.
Talking Animal: An ostrich summoned by the SCP faced one of the researchers and said "I bet you weren't expecting this, were you, Mikey?" in said researcher's father's voice.
Shout-Out: One of the summoned birds is an owl that scratched strange symbols in the dirt and grew long legs, possibly referencing Stolas from the Ars Goetia.

SCP-1307 - The Person Sharpener

SCP-1307 is an electric pencil sharpener with a standard size receiving hole and a loading bay underneath designed to catch shavings. 1307 is activated, either plugged or unplugged, in a similar manner to a conventional sharpener by inserting a standard sized pencil into the hole on its front. Upon inserting a pencil, the subject will find themselves unable to remove their hands from the pencil. Once the pencil has sharpened down to the point where the individual's hand is located, 1307 will continue to draw it in, enlarging the hole as far as needed to take in the hand of the subject. As the subject's hand is drawn in, it is "sharpened" along with the pencil, shredding the limb in the process. Despite severe blood loss, subjects are kept alive until the brain is destroyed, at which point vital functions cease. 1307 then continues to take in the rest of the body and shred the entirety of the corpse.

An Arm and a Leg: The person's hand needs to be amputated in order to prevent them being "sharpened" by the sharpener, as they cannot remove their hand from the pencil.
Cruel and Unusual Death: The person's brain is kept alive, despite severe blood loss, until it gets shredded by the sharpener.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a pencil sharpener capable of sharpening people.

SCP-1308 - Hungarian Floater

SCP-1308 is a species of organism resembling an ambulatory sheet of human skin, capable of flotation through unknown means. The upper surface of 1308 specimens resembles human skin, including body hair, birthmarks, and occasional patches of keratin, while the lower surface is smooth, and contains a number of modified sweat glands capable of excreting SCP-1308-1, a translucent yellow liquid of composition resembling blood plasma. 1308 appear to be sentient, and seem to prefer secluded areas such as abandoned buildings, the vicinity of waste disposal facilities, or maintenance facilities to dwell in. If a human being approaches an instance, it will attempt to envelop and restrain them, and force a significant part of its surface under their clothing so it comes into contact with bare skin. The glands on the surface of 1308 will excrete 1308-1, which rapidly penetrates the skin and causes permanent dissociation of intercellular bonds in animal tissues. Once this has taken place, 1308 will proceed to slowly absorb the tissue and reintegrate it into its body mass, a process which has been observed to take between 3-7 hours.

Immune to Bullets: The Special Containment Procedures for SCP-1308 say that gunfire is of limited effectiveness against it due to the lack of discernible vital organs.
Living Gasbag: SCP-1308 has a number of internal cavities filled with hydrogen gas. It propels itself by flapping its body using muscular contractions.

SCP-1309 - Time-Locked Town

SCP-1309 is the town of Kleinberg, South Dakota, whose population of approximately 2,300 are amicable and receptive to questions from Foundation personnel. Kleinberg is effectively locked in a looping period of time within the 1920s. Observation has determined that events do not repeat with each cycle, and the inhabitants retain all memories and experiences between cycles. It has been determined that the period of time is 3,289 days long, extending from February 5th, 1920 to August 19th, 1928. The only constant events in each cycle are the inhabitants' perceptions of time, and all outside news received via radio broadcasts or newspapers, consistent with documentation from that time period and repeating on the correct dates. Observation has determined that if an inhabitant attempts to leave Kleinberg, they will dematerialize at the edge of the town, and immediately materialize on the opposite side.

SCP-1310 - Examination Room 10

SCP-1310 is Examination Room 10 at a former pediatrics center in Ohio. The room is designed for simple medical examinations of individuals under 18 years of age, decorated with an animal-themed mural and housing all the typical apparatuses of a mundane medical examination room. Room 10 enters an active state when the door to the room is closed for a span of 5 minutes, 43 seconds. After such time has passed, a human being will emerge from the room, having been generated within its confines. The process by which this is done is not understood, and attempts to record the inside of the room during the process have resulted in failure of all electronic equipment.

Alternate Universe: One of the researchers has speculated that the room acts as a portal to parallel universes, as it exists in all of them.
Unperson: What actually happens is that anyone inside the room when the door closes is erased from the world, appearing as if they are a new creature created by the room.

SCP-1311 - Sudden Body Integrity Failure

SCP-1311 is a phenomenon that induces cases of sudden, severe body integrity disorder (the belief that part of an individual's body is not actually theirs) in people with no previously recorded history of said condition. In most instances, 1311 affects the perception of one's limbs, though in some cases, fingers, ears, eyes, teeth, and even organs have also been subject to the condition. As with most cases of body integrity disorder, the majority of subjects infected with 1311 have attempted to self-amputate or remove affected parts of the body themselves, resulting in death. In the cases where a minor part of the body is targeted and successfully amputated, all sufferers have expressed a profound feeling of relief at its removal. Outbreaks of 1311 always happen in groups of four individuals. There is no identified source for the outbreaks, although those suffering from the condition always have some link between them.

SCP-1312 - Site 41

SCP-1312 is the unfinished Site 41, which suffered an incident 7 months into construction where the entire site relocated three kilometers north. Site 41 is now home to a large number of humanoid entities which resemble featureless human beings of solid coloration. These humanoid entities are divided into three separate types, designated SCP-1312-1, -2, and -3 respectively. 1312-1, colored solid white, will engage in acts which are assumed to be attempted experimentation with objects or individuals which have been captured after being viewed as foreign to the site, as well as writing documentation regarding said objects and individuals. 1312-2, colored solid black, appear to capture and subdue foreign objects and individuals. They are capable of speech, but this appears to be limited to the shouting of 'containment breach' when they spot a foreign presence in. 1312-3, colored solid orange, are directed by 1312-1 in experimentation involving objects foreign to Site 41.

Amazing Technicolor Population: The entities can each be colored orange, white or black, with the color determining their type.
The Blank: The entities that reside in the site are described as resembling featureless human beings.
Mundane Object Amazement: The entities seem to consider objects like a pencil, a glass of water and an ordinary Foundation agent to be SCPs.
Was Once a Man: It is implied that the entities used to be human, as one of them recognized a glass of water, remembering that he used to drink it.

SCP-1313 - Solve for Bear

SCP-1313 is a mathematical equation to which the answer happens to be a single female grizzly bear. The equation itself does not appear inherently anomalous, but rather than producing a real number, it resolves to produce a physical grizzly bear. The resolution does not have to be physically represented, and simply considering the problem long enough to arrive at the solution has resulted in the bear's manifestation. 1313 does not require any particular mathematical ability beyond a basic understanding of elementary algebra to comprehend, but all steps of the sequence must be completed in order to reach the correct answer.

Bears Are Bad News: Bears materialized by the equation are almost always hostile.
Formula for the Unformulable: SCP-1313 is a set of equations that, when solved, gives the answer of an adult female grizzly bear.

SCP-1314 - Memetic Universe

SCP-1314 is a set of mathematical equations describing physical behaviors in a simulated universe, the initial conditions of which are stored in SCP-1314-B, a string of hexadecimal digits interspersed with memetic triggers. When read by a sapient organism, 1314 causes a memetic effect dependent on the logical and spatial-temporal reasoning skills of the exposed subject. They are implanted with a desire to search for a copy of 1314-B, similar to the effect of standard memetic obsession agents. This effect is reduced after separation from 1314 and decays entirely after approximately 8 hours. Those who are exposed to 1314 more recently than this, then the subject enters a state of deep concentration, during which they decrypt the information stored in 1314-B. Subjects report obsession with mentally simulating the universe described by 1314, which has been reported as extremely distracting as they will favor sitting and thinking over all other tasks. The simulated universe is three-dimensional and operates under discrete time and spatial dimensions. Light and air do not exist, heat transfer is simulated via a modified version of caloric theory, and gravity and collisions are simulated according to Newtonian physics.

SCP-1315 - The Hardest Game

SCP-1315 is a standard 5.5 x 4.1-inch video game cartridge for use with the Nintendo Entertainment System console. According to an operation manual packaged with the cartridge, the unlabeled cartridge holds a game titled Professor Ghoul's Terrifying Horror Challenge. When used in an NES, a player will be subjected to a series of increasingly horrific "challenges" that apparently manifest in the physical world. While players will report being chased by monsters, it appears to the best of the Foundation's knowledge that these elements of the "game" are only visible to them. Each time a "challenge" is won, the game will inform the player of the objective for the next. The game's manual claims "the fun never ends", and does not specify how many "challenges" must be completed to win the game. Once the "game" has begun, it cannot be halted until the player either wins or is defeated.

SCP-1316 - Lucy the Kitten Feline Espionage Device

SCP-1316 is a female housecat named "Lucy", who exhibits no unusual behavior besides a marked friendliness to strangers. Despite having been in Foundation custody since 1948, Lucy is physiologically identical to a three-month-old kitten and shows no signs of aging. While initially believed to be harmless, Lucy was ultimately revealed to be an agent of the Chaos Insurgency, having managed to operate a radio to broadcast her findings and allowing the CI to raid the Foundation. This resulted in a massive security breach where several SCPs were stolen, destroyed, or simply disappeared, and several personnel were killed.

The Ageless: She always remains young and never ages.
Cats Are Mean: This kitten is actually a Deep Cover Agent for Chaos Insurgency.
Cute Kitten: She's an adorable kitten that never ages. Barely anyone will suspect it to be a spy for Chaos Insurgency.
Despair Event Horizon: After finally realizing she's been abandoned by her superiors, she ceases communicating entirely.
The Mole: Was feeding intel for the Chaos Insurgency.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After the Chaos Insurgency successfully raids the Foundation site, they leave Lucy behind, allowing the Foundation to contain her.

SCP-1317 - Factory Makeup

SCP-1317 is a collection of vintage cosmetics manufactured sometime in 1942. The words "The Factory" have been embossed onto the bottom of each instance of 1317. When brought into contact with living organic tissue, 1317 will begin to integrate itself into said tissue, rplicating the biological function of all tissues it will ultimately replace. If the user does not continue to apply 1317, the affected tissue will lose its cohesion over the next five weeks, which leads to the user experiencing potentially fatal trauma.

SCP-1318 - Consultant Rats

SCP-1318 is a spontaneously occurring phenomenon found in an estimated 0.0001% of specimens of Norwegian Brown Rat. Affected rats are indistinguishable from other specimens in size, intelligence, appearance, and lifespan. Humans spending 20-80 cumulative hours in close proximity to a specimen will believe the rat is sapient and capable of speech, an expert in their field of employment, and that their "best ideas" originate from conversations. While affected persons report that they hear the specimen speaking, review of recordings of such "conversations" reveal that affected persons themselves are subvocalizing the specimen's responses to their queries.

SCP-1319 - The Split-Up

SCP-1319 is a former Foundation research assistant whose body violently split into two seperate entities through unknown means for an unspecified angered reason. SCP-1319-1, consisting of the upper body, head, and arms, is capable of speech and moves by pulling itself along the floor by its hands. 1319-1 enjoys consumption of food despite the fact that this food inevitably exits the body through the hole in the torso. SCP-1319-2, consisting of the lower torso and legs, has the ability to perceive its surroundings and hear commands given to it by researchers, despite its lack of a head and associated organs. Neither 1319-1 or 1319-2 possess the original personality of the assistant, identifying as completely different entities. Both harbor intense feelings of resentment for each other, and meetings between them have frequently resulted in violence.

SCP-1320 - Refractive Explorers

SCP-1320 are a sapient humanoid species native to a 6 square kilometer area known to be heavily forested. They show a unique ability to refract electromagnetic radiation around their forms, most easily identifiable in the fact that light "bends" around them, rendering them somewhat transparent or reflective. A side-effect of this anomaly is that individuals are able to seemingly "appear" or "disappear" when not directly in view. 1320 are believed to simply be well-camouflaged and silent by nature, and are able to utilize their anomalous properties as means of evasion. The distortion effect that surrounds them makes individuals appear to be between 1 and 1.5 centimeters thick. Despite this, individuals have shown a level of physical strength and dexterity roughly equivalent to an average human, save for an ability to shear objects at the near-molecular level. 1320 are not hostile unless provoked, instead showing an inquisitive nature with small groups gathering around and thoroughly studying any type of object that is new to their habitat.

Invisibility: Members of SCP-1320 can refract electromagnetic radiation around their bodies, making themselves partially or completely invisible. They look much like the Predator in Predator when its invisibility effect is on.
Sharpened to a Single Atom: SCP-1320 have extremities that are sharpened to a thickness of a few dozen nanometers. They can use them to cut through solid objects at a molecular level.

SCP-1321 - Cathar Journal

SCP-1321 is the journal of Guillaume Bélibaste, last known Perfectus of the Cathar religion, who was burned at the stake in 1321 CE on charges of heresy. The journal is dated to the day before Bélibaste's death, and its anomalous properties will manifest when a person touches it or reads it in its entirety. When either condition occurs, a list of names appearing at the bottom of 1321 will update, and the subject will usually experience a sense of euphoria and peace, accompanied by vague visions of ethereal imagery. Subjects who touch 1321 always react to the experience favorably, and will seek to gain access to 1321 by various means, though they will never resort to violence, even if they have a predisposition to such a behavior.

SCP-1322 - Glory Hole

SCP-1322 is an interdimensional portal to a parallel universe, roughly ellipsoid in shape and measuring approximately 2.5 cm along its horizontal axis and approximately 1 cm along its vertical axis. It is two-dimensional and coplanar, with a plane perpendicular to the horizon and oriented approximately 36 degrees west of true north, and occupies a fixed location. The parallel universe on the other side of the portal has been officially designated SCP-1322-A, although the term "Hartle" has also been colloquially used. A viral agent identified as a variant of the flu began sweeping throughout Hartle's populace, prompting the Foundation to provide vaccines to fight back the epidemic. An unfortunate side effect of these vaccines had since rendered the entire population of Hartle sterile/infertile. Hartle has since been out for the Foundation's blood, creating newer and more powerful weapons over the years to destroy them as revenge for being driven to inevitable extinction.

Absurdly Huge Population: The pandemic that affected their world killed around 8 million people, which is specified to be 0.091% of their total population. That would mean SCP-1322-A has, at minimum, 87 billion inhabitants.
Alternate Universe: SCP-1322-A, referred to as "Hartle" by the inhabitants. It's identical to Earth, just with a higher concentration of argon in the atmosphere. The Foundation made contact with them in 1952 and the two sides began a cultural exchange, even setting up a telegraph line for faster communication. Unfortunately, those days have long since passed.
The Bad Guy Wins: In "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi," Hartle fills 1322's containment chamber with a bunch of tuning forks that invoke SCP-1012, causing the five frequencies to turn Earth to dust (leaving two Foundation guys on the moon, and four people on the ISS, as the only survivors). SCP-2305 additionally suggests that the resonance echoed back into Hartle, disintegrating it as well, but they're probably too vain and despondent to have known this beforehand or even cared.
Childless Dystopia: Thanks to the Foundation's vaccine.
Create Your Own Villain: The only reason SCP-1322 is dangerous is because of what the Foundation accidentally did to its creators.
Irrational Hatred: While the inhabitants have a good reason to be angry at the Foundation, there was no way for the Foundation to know what harm their vaccine would cause. Furthermore, the surviving inhabitants seem to care more about getting revenge on the Foundation instead of, you know, putting all of their resources into finding a cure.
Our Wormholes Are Different: SCP-1322 is a stable two-dimensional aperture leading to a parallel universe, measuring about 2.5 centimeters long and 1 centimeter wide. Matter and energy can pass through just fine, although sound doesn't seem to be conducted.
The Plague: Starting around November 1972, SCP-1322-A suffered from a pandemic that killed 8 million people over the course of six months before the Foundation sent them a vaccine. Things only got worse for them, unfortunately.
Revenge Before Reason: The inhabitants of SCP-1322-A have spent years trying to get revenge on the Foundation rather than finding a way to reverse their Sterility Plague. Ultimately though, this contributes to the tragedy of the entire article.
Sufficiently Advanced Aliens: They have the technology to create interdimensional tears, particle beams, miniaturized thermonuclear weapons, and self-replicating nanomachines. All of which they've used in their quest to destroy the Foundation.
Taking You with Me: The Foundation doomed them to extinction and they've sworn revenge.
“YOU KILLED US. YOU DID THIS TO US. IN YOUR CARELESSNESS AND YOUR ARROGANCE YOU HAVE DESTROYED OUR POSTERITY. BUT WE SHALL AVENGE. WE OF THE LAST GENERATION PLEDGE AND VOW THIS. WE WILL FIND A WAY."
Tragic Villain: They've been sending bombs, diseases, and other attempts at destroying the Foundation...because the Foundation accidentally doomed them to eventual extinction.
Ungrateful Bastard: Downplayed since the Foundation accidently caused a Sterility Plague in their attempt to cure the alien race's pandemic. However, the inhabitants of SCP-1322-A still blame the Foundation for their troubles and ignore the fact that they only wanted to save them.

SCP-1323 - A County Fair

SCP-1323 is an anomalous region of space that can only be accessed from one of four access points located in a number of British counties. The interior of 1323 resembles a large open field, with permanently cloudy skies. Located in this field is a fairground, consisting of an exhibition hall, a livestock pavilion, and a sideshow. Interspersed throughout the fairgrounds are a variety of information and ticket kiosks, food stalls, and wandering entertainers. The exhibition hall contains a large array of homemade entries into various competitions. Categories have included quilts, jams and jellies, photography, swords and daggers, gemstone statuary, watercolor paintings, embroidery, and musical instruments. In addition to the judged competitions for best example of each animal category, there are irregular exhibition demonstrations involving animals, such as trick riding, obstacle courses, and death matches. The employees of the fairground are each dressed in clothing and costumes consistent with styles from the early 20th century. Only 37% of employees appear to be human, while the remainder are anomalous humanoids with skin color, heights, facial feature placement, and morphology that varies considerably from each other. All attempts to interact with employees in any way other than as part of their duties, are rebuffed with suggestions to "take it up with management."

Alien Geometries: The complex system of underground rooms and passages under the fair are topologically inconsistent: they don't follow Euclidean geometry and don't intersect with each other the way they should.
Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: "In addition to the judged competitions for best example of each animal category, there are irregular exhibition demonstrations involving the animals, such as trick riding, obstacle courses, and death matches."
Circus of Fear: This appears to be an early 20th century English country fair run by The Fair Folk. Customers have to buy tickets by paying things like a cherished memory, or (ominously vague) "a favor".
The Fair Folk: This is in another dimension which can only be accessed at certain points and times in our universe. Customers have to buy tickets by paying things like "a joyful laugh and a sorrowful tear" or "a lost love". Anyone who eats food there has a chance of staying there permanently, the same way that people who ate food while in Faerie would be trapped there. The livestock pavilion contains (among other creatures) unicorns.
Food Chains: Anyone who eats food at the country fair has a 17% chance of staying there permanently as an employee.
Intangible Price: 1 ticket costs a joyful laugh and a sorrowful tear, 5 a cherished memory, 10 A Year and a Day, 25 a lost love, and 100 costs a Favor.
A Year and a Day: While inside SCP-1323, it's possible to buy 10 tickets by paying "a year and a day".

SCP-1324 - A Printer's Purpose

SCP-1324 is an apparently sapient Hewlett-Packard printer/scanner/copier with a small LCD screen and a control panel on the upper left-hand side allowing data entry. The anomalous properties of the device become apparent upon any of its functions being used. The LCD screen will display a form requesting information involving the subject matter of the input document to be provided. The output of these operations will display significant changes from the original, most notably what inanimate objects would look like if they descended from animals. While the printer had initially conversed politely with researchers and offered to demonstrate its abilities to their suggestions with professionalism, having it attempt to analyze a Lorem ipsum placeholder led it to experience an emotional breakdown and an existential crisis.

SCP-1325 - Easter Frog

SCP-1325 is a species of frog resembling the Australian green tree frog, nicknamed "Easter Frogs" by Foundation zoologists. Each specimen is male anatomically and genetically, and as such do not sexually reproduce. On Palm Sunday, an egg will grow from the back of every adult specimen, developing over the course of the Holy Week until Easter Sunday, when it will detach from the frog's back. The hard, protective shell of the egg consists of a thick layer of a substance identical in taste, appearance, and texture to chocolate, presumably to promote human consumption, while inside is a cluster of smaller jellylike eggs. When the egg is fully developed and ready to detach, an Easter Frog will seek out sites where they are likely to attract human consumption. If ingested by a human subject, the surviving eggs within will hatch in response to the temperature and pH of the stomach. The tadpoles will attach themselves to the wall of the stomach via small hooks on their tails to prevent themselves from passing through to the intestinal tract. Over the following days, the tadpoles will feed on partly digested food in the stomach as they grow. During this period, the human host will likely experience abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and loss of appetite to varying degrees of severity. When fully developed, the frogs will secrete emetic toxins from their skin, thereby inducing heavy vomiting in the host.

Chest Burster: When the SCP-1325 growing inside the victim's stomach are large enough they release an emetic toxin that causes the victim to throw up, expelling the SCP-1325 out the victim's mouth. This has a 25% chance of rupturing the victim's esophagus (Boerhaave's syndrome).
Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong: SCP-1325 are frogs that lays eggs that appear to be chocolate Easter eggs but have SCP-1325 eggs inside them. When they're eaten by human beings the SCP-1325 eggs hatch into tadpoles that attach themselves to the inside of the stomach and grow into more SCP-1325. When they're old enough they use a Chest Burster technique to get out.

SCP-1326 - The Lexicon

SCP-1326 is an ornate leather-bound hardcover book adorned with various moving parts on its front cover. 1326 is secured by a lock on its right side, designed to fit a small key designated SCP-1326-1. This key is the only method of opening the book, as attempts to utilize picks or replicas have failed. The content of 1326 appears to be an encyclopedic collection of various works and articles on a number of topics. The nature of these works varies between known authors, altered versions, or unidentified works covering unknown material. If 1326 is brought within one meter of another book or written document, mechanical arms on its cover will begin moving of their own accord in order to line up the lenses with the document in question. Once aligned, lenses on the arms will emit a blue light and "scan" the document for approximately 5 seconds. Testing has confirmed that this behavior is a means for the book to acquire new information, which will be presented in readable format under an apparently random index designation. How 1326 is capable of identifying sources of information is unknown, though staff theorize it may possess a certain degree of sentience.

SCP-1327 - Intelligence Switcher

SCP-1327 is an intelligence testing kit consisting of nine testing booklets of varying sizes designated SCP-1327-1 through -9, containing a variety of tasks meant to assess various components of intelligence, a set of colored wooden blocks intended for use in a spatial reasoning task, designated SCP-1327-10, and a pad containing instructions and scoring sheets, designated SCP-1327-11. The anomalous properties of the object manifest upon completion of any of these tasks. Within 500 milliseconds, both the test-taker and the person administering the test will lapse into a bilateral complex partial seizure lasting 8 seconds. Upon emerging from the seizure, the test-taker will have the intellectual capabilities of the test administrator, primarily in areas of knowledge that were just tested.

SCP-1328 - 51st State of Mind

SCP-1328 is a phenomenon affecting the eastern portion of Tennessee between August, 1784 and December, 1785, when it was a territory known as "Franklin". On occasion, maps, books, and cartographic references will begin listing 1328 as being part of another country, adding an "extra state" to their contents. These altered maps will not show 1328 as being geographically attached to these nations, showing its physical location within the U.S. Persons reading these documents will be convinced of its status and history, often attempting to show as many other subjects as possible and spreading 1328's effect. No matter how far the subject originally is from 1328, they will attempt to travel to it, arriving in one of its cities hours after departure. Observation of affected subjects shows that they and whatever vehicle they are operating appear to fall into a chasm which suddenly emerges below them, followed by an emergence in 1328. Subjects will describe 1328 as a disputed territory and insist that their nation has a stronger claim to it.

SCP-1329 - The Aquarium

SCP-1329 is an abandoned aquarium in Russia, housing three sub-surface floors that vary in size, architecture, and layout. The building is in a state of severe disrepair, though it shows few signs of looting or vandalism. SCP-1329-1 are a group of human beings which will regularly manifest in or around 1329. These subjects are primarily from central Asia and average 25-50 years of age, speaking a mix of English, Russian, Dari, and Mandarin Chinese. Most of them show signs of overexposure, malnourishment, and symptoms resembling mercury poisoning, and wear heavily-repaired or modified clothing consisting of parts of a pale green jumpsuit. During manifestations, 1329-1 will walk around, converse with each other, and interact with their environment. 1329-1 subjects are theorized to perceive entirely different surroundings and observers as other instances of 1329-1. Exhibits housed the aquarium include tanks filled with several hundred kilograms of raw coelacanth meat, jellyfish containing human brains within the proximal bulb, a large fungal growth containing a school of herring, and a tasseled wobbegong that inhabits the main office and attacks any subject at the ground level. Additional phenomena within the building include indistinct conversations in the second-floor men's restroom and streams of bubbles appearing in mid-air.

SCP-1330 - Universal Dumping Grounds

SCP-1330 is a landfill overflowing with trash (designated SCP-1330-1) originating from several alternate universes and parallel dimensions. 1330 is in a constant state of change, with new garbage replacing previous examples frequently. 1330 appears to only affect items discarded as being worthless, though how an item's actual worth is determined is uncertain.

Alternate Universe: A minimum of 27 such universes are connected to SCP-1330.
Bizarre Alien Sexes: One object found is a set of discarded copies of a poorly-written erotic novel whose characters are of five different genders.
Landfill Beyond the Stars: SCP-1330 is one of these for a number of other universes.
Solid Gold Poop: Another object found is a toilet bowl containing unpolished diamonds.
Schizo Tech: A nonfunctional cellphone found in 1330 has a highly advanced battery and microchips, but no camera or radio.

SCP-1331 - Mouth Soap

SCP-1331 is a bar of yellow hand soap with "The Factory" written along both lateral sides. When 1331 touches any part of the inside of a human subject's mouth, the subject's attempts to vocalize expletives will become censored by a synthesized tone. Non-vocal communication, including sign language and written expletives, is unaffected. The duration of 1331's effect on expletives is proportional to the amount of time the bar remains in contact with the mouth of the subject.

Literal Metaphor: Ever been threatened (likely by a parent) to have your mouth washed out with soap for swearing? SCP-1331 does exactly that - and it works.
Soap Punishment: It's a soapbar designed just for this.
Sound-Effect Bleep: Anyone whose mouth comes into contact with the soap has any expletives "bleeped out". Exposure over one hour causes the number of words censored to increase, until everything they say is censored after three hours of exposure.

SCP-1332 - Involuntary Shapeshifting

SCP-1332 is a thick, metallic gray paste, similar in color and sheen to mercury. When a subject is directly exposed to 1332 via cuts and scrapes, they begin to transform into SCP-1332-B. The transformation manifests externally as flu-like symptoms that subside over the course of 2 to 3 days. During this period, 1332 converts the subject's bones and muscles into an amorphous mass resembling itself, which still performs all the functions of the replaced systems. The autonomic system seems to maintain the density and structure of the mass, allowing 1332-B to maintain the appropriate shape. SCP-1332-C manifests when 1332-B instances either become aware of the nature of their condition, or attempt to undertake a physical activity they are unaccustomed to. Either situation causes the autonomic system to momentarily cease its usual functions as 1332-B attempts to exert control over their body. In the majority of cases, this leads to complete structural collapse of the subject's internal support systems, which frequently kills the subject through internal hemorrhaging or suffocation.

Body Horror: SCP-1332 is a substance that converts the bones and muscles of anyone it infects into a mass resembling itself; if the infected person becomes aware of their condition or tries to do something unusual, this causes their internal systems to collapse without bone, usually leading to death.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a substance which causes Involuntary Shapeshifting in those it infects.

SCP-1333 - The Phantom App

SCP-1333 is an entity that manifests as a mobile app, believed to have begun circulation in 2008. The program appears under many names, often purporting to be a harmless program targeted to males and females ages 18-22. 1333 has been found disguised as a multitude of mobile applications, including navigation, social networking, entertainment, music, and productivity. The entity appears to affect any person who uses the program, regardless of ownership of the phone containing it. After sufficient use, the phone will begin to exhibit symptoms indicative of a glitch, and may receive text messages from unknown numbers. These messages are typically in the form of single words that often have negative or hostile connotations, such as "NEVER", "WRATH" and "BLEED". If the phone is equipped with a camera, the phone's photo album will be altered to include photos that feature the user that were not taken by them. These images range from trivial images of the subject taking their own picture in a mirror to images of the subject located in places they have never been. With continued use, the entity will generate progressively more disturbing images, sometimes featuring the subject with severe injuries or in traumatic scenes featuring death, dismemberment, and torture.

SCP-1334 - Numerology Ghost's Apartment

SCP-1334 is a six-story apartment building located in China, the exterior being nondescript and the rooms within containing specifically arranged items, including pairs of chopsticks, bottles of wine, articles of jewelry, bundles of incense sticks, office supplies, children's toys, potted plants, empty fishbowls, bronze sculptures, ashtrays, and stacks of coins and paper money and coins, each grouped in different arrangements of multiples. Items that are removed from 1334 disintegrate upon crossing the threshold of the bottom floor, and replacements will appear roughly 8 hours later. 1334 is currently inhabited by a humanoid figure who was listed as the contracted tenant of the building's sixth story apartment. This entity, designated SCP-1334-1, acts in a manner consistent with complaints filed by the building's tenants, who described them as "eccentric" and "disruptive". Though 1334-1 appears corporeal, infrared scans of the apartment and complex during sightings do not indicate any heat signature. 1334-1 is believed to be the cause of disappearances of the former tenants of the building, as well as a janitor and the landlord.

SCP-1335 - Fortune Cookie Neighbor

SCP-1335 is a fortune cookie identical in appearance to a standard cookie. It displays the anomalous effect of releasing 100 mL of liquid every hour, as well as producing the sounds of barking dogs and disco music. The liquid released from the cookie is composed primarily of water, but it contains traces of lead, calcium, and an unidentified organic compound. Like others of its kind, 1335 contains a strip of paper within its shell. The phrases written on the slip appear as complaints to the anomalous phenomena the cookie produces, similar to that of an annoyed neighbor.

SCP-1336 - 5,000 Dots

SCP-1336 is a sheet of card stock that has sustained very slight burn damage to one corner. The paper houses 5,000 dots, 0.3mm in diameter each, printed in various colors. The dots are classified as anomalous because they are known to slowly move around on the paper through unknown methods. While each individual dot moves seemingly at random, they can and will form recognizable patterns on frequent occasions. The dots have never been observed to stop moving, though they seem to randomly change directions and rarely stay moving in any one direction for more than a few seconds. The patterns created by the dots appear as structural formulas for various organic compounds. Visual and verbal communication with the dots has met primarily with failure, though they seem to be aware of their environment to a degree.

SCP-1337 - The Hitchhiker

While many anomalies are hostile without the need for intevention, this particular SCP is a glaring example of how the Foundation turns them hostile. SCP-1337 itself is the ghost of Mary Talish, an Indiana woman who was abducted and ritualistically sacrificed by a demonic cult in 1952. 18 to 19 months afterward, on the 19th of every month, Mary would manifest on the side of Mayflower Road, begging passing motorists for a ride. Should a motorist comply, she gives them directions that lead to the cemetery where she was buried, after which she would harmlessly disappear, leaving only her sweater behind. In a horrifically misguided attempt to get Mary's spirit to move on, one particular Foundation researcher had her parents killed, their house burned down, and Mayflower Road torn up without prior permission. As a result, Mary's ghost now appears as she did in death and has become murderously hostile towards anyone who doesn't stop to give her a ride, manifesting in their backseat and killing them in the same way she was killed.

Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts: She's the Foundation's take on the trope, being the ghost of a woman found murdered on the side of the road that manifests on a specific road on the 19th of every month. She was originally harmless, asking strangers to give her a lift on the side of the road, only to disappear halfway there when they pass a cemetery with nothing but her coat as proof that she was there. After Incident 1337, her behavior changed where whenever someone doesn't give her a ride, she appears in the backseat of their car in Jacob Marley Apparel and brutally murders them in the same way she died.
Disproportionate Retribution: She kills anyone who doesn't give her a ride.
From Nobody to Nightmare: Originally she was a Friendly Ghost that only wanted a ride. But after her family was killed, she became a killer.
Jacob Marley Apparel: While her default form is indistinguishable from a normal everyday woman, when she is hostile, she looks like what her corpse was found as: heavily mutilated with her heart and eyes gouged out.
Laser-Guided Karma: Her first victim as a Vengeful Ghost was Dr. Langford, the man who killed her parents and burned her family's house down.
Vengeful Ghost: While originally a Friendly Ghost, she was reclassed as a Euclid entity (she'd mistakenly been declared Decommissioned) after she killed Dr. Langford.

SCP-1338 - Child of Trees

SCP-1338 is a young boy of indeterminate ethnicity who has heterochromia and does not appear to age. 1338 can communicate in simple English, and has demonstrated a talent for climbing trees. He is able to use plant matter to create substances with healing properties, though these substances only retain their abilities within his presence. While analysis of the produced substances has revealed no anomalies, 1338 has shown skill in curing various ailments, including headaches, ocular irritation, and upset stomachs. Shallow cuts treated by 1338 heal completely after an average of four minutes, and subjects receiving care from 1338 report feeling no pain when the cures are applied. 1338 favors a forest in the Appalachian Mountains as a place of residence, his health having deteriorated while he was briefly being brought into containment.

SCP-1339 - Justified Badge

SCP-1339 is a police badge with no rank or markings of a police department. When the badge is fastened to the clothes of a human being, they will be convinced that any actions they observe or commit are entirely justified. When asked about the events, the subject will always rationalize and defend the action. Assessments of motor skills, problem solving, and cognitive abilities have all proven that the badge does not impair mental facilities. Once 1339 is removed from the subject, they will immediately feel large amounts of guilt and depression, even if they committed no wrong actions while wearing it. In a majority of cases where psychiatric or amnestic treatment is not received, the subject will commit suicide, often confessing to unknown crimes in suicide notes.

SCP-1340 - The Fraternal Order of Cave Mantas

SCP-1340 is a species of cave-dwelling electroceptive manta ray with large triangular pectoral fins, horn-shaped cephalic fins, large terminal mouths, a lack of pigmentation, and a pair of vestigial eyes. 1340 also possess two large electrocyte organs on each side of their heads, which they use to communicate with signals of varying voltage, amperage, and frequency. By converting this electrical activity into speech, the Foundation has realized that 1340 are sapient and highly social. The colony in Foundation captivity has been revealed to function as a council, holding meetings of a parliamentary nature. These meetings are used by the colony to regularly discuss business and current events in an open forum, as well as employing guards to subjugate individuals that act out of line.

SCP-1341 - "JUNGLE IN A JAR"

SCP-1341 is a mason jar made of red glass, with the words "JUNGLE IN A JAR" stenciled on the lid. Removing the lid when 1341 is outside an enclosed space has no effect, but if it is removed while indoors, 1341 will begin to exude soil from the opening at 10kg per minute. This soil will be continuously produced until all available space in the room is filled to at least ten millimeters. Once the soil has reached this depth, several anomalous species of tropical plants will begin to grow. The plants produced superficially resemble species found in rainforests, though DNA testing has shown that they do not correspond to any known species. The plants will continue to grow until they have achieved the maximum size the area will allow, taking a maximum of three days to reach full maturity. When the maximum amount of space is filled, fill their space to maximum, several of the plants will begin to grow fruit, which will fall from the trees off and split open two to three weeks later, allowing SCP-1341-2 to emerge. 1341-2 are juvenile organisms known which vaguely resemble simian bipeds, and exhibit behavior patterns consistent with those of wild chimpanzees, and are not hostile unless provoked.

Air-Vent Passageway: After experimentation on SCP-1341 went out of control, one of the site personnel entered the air ducts in an attempt to escape and was never seen again.
Better to Die than Be Killed: During an experiment with SCP-1341, the jungle it creates takes over the testing facility and traps the experimenters, killing most of them. The last survivor says in the last entry in his experimental log that he's going to commit suicide rather than let an enemy kill him.
Pit Trap: SCP-1341 is soil that causes jungle-like plants to grow from it that eventually produce ape-like creatures. During an experiment with SCP-1341, one of the researchers is killed by falling into a pit trap (lined with stakes) dug by the creatures.

SCP-1342 - To the Makers of Music

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the Project Heimdall folder.

SCP-1343 - Pile Up

SCP-1343 is a concrete container initially buried in a California hillside. Attempts to drill through it have resulted in a series of severe traffic collisions. SCP-1343-1 is a severely damaged 1955 Ford Thunderbird that has been sighted periodically in active highway tunnels adjacent to 1343. It manifests on April 7th each year at approximately 2:45, and has appeared on other occasions where 1343 has been disturbed. In a typical sighting, 1343-1 appears when a witness rounds a turn into a tunnel, at which point drivers have described the vehicle accelerating toward them while engulfed in flames. Believing a head-on collision to be imminent, most witnesses react by swerving into the tunnel's walls or into oncoming traffic.

SCP-1344 - Eye-Catching Goggles

SCP-1344 are five pairs of goggles of various types, including those used in swimming, aviation, welding, paintball, and a handcrafted pair designed in a style similar to steampunk culture. All instances contain two hollow, telescoping needles hidden in the frame. The goggles will show no anomalous behavior unless worn by a living human being. After approximately 5 seconds, both needles will extend and pierce the subject's eye, embedding themselves in the optic nerves. Though this process does not appear to cause any physical pain in the subject, the psychological repercussions are as expected. Unless sedated, subjects will invariably attempt to remove the goggles from their face. If allowed to proceed, a subject will extract their eyes in their entirety from ocular orbit.

Aura Vision: The goggles allow the wearer to see orbs of different sizes and colors over the heads of most humans, other mammals, and even some other SCPs, but not other animals. The orbs are invisible to normal sight and it's not clear what they are. Readers guessed and Word of God confirms that these orbs are in fact souls... which makes it particularly interesting that there's a Foundation Junior Research Assistant who doesn't have one, and the largest one recorded thus far belongs to a D-Class.
Exact Words: They're a pair of goggles that literally catch on to the wearer's eyes.
Eye Scream: If a human being puts these goggles on, five seconds later two needles will enter the wearer's eyes and enter the optic nerve. If the wearer removes the goggles, the needles will pull their eyes out of their sockets.
Goggles Do Something Unusual: Anyone who wears one of these goggles can see colored orbs above the heads of most mammals, including human beings. The Foundation has yet to draw any definite conclusions as to what this might mean.
Poor Communication Kills: The unnamed individual who built or at least modified the goggles did so on commission... then made the mistake of sending them to his client through the mail, which is how it fell into the hands of the Foundation. They traced the package back to its sender, but he was already dead by the time they arrived. Word of God says that 'John' had the man killed — along with his sick mother — not just for failing to deliver the goggles, but to ensure his continued silence when people like the Foundation came knocking. The nameless builder clearly didn't know who he was dealing with.
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Whatever it is the orbs represent, it's something humans share with most other mammals, and in certain cases, an animal can have of more of it than humans, like the Bernese mountain dog who had the second largest orb of those measured.

SCP-1345 - Propaganda Machine

SCP-1345 is an abandoned Quonset hut constructed between 1949 and 1951 by employees of Los Alamos National Laboratories. The hut houses an assembly of equipment (SCP-1345-A) designed to broadcast precisely modulated microwaves in a direction selected by the head operator. Along with various support equipment, the assembly contains a control computer using miniaturized vacuum tubes as computing elements, signal generation and modulation equipment, and a synchronized array of UHF transmitters. The transmission system terminates in a gimballed parabolic dish antenna, mounted on a steel mast able to telescope through a hatch in the roof. The antenna is able to be aimed precisely via rotation and elevation. SCP-1345-B is a widespread memetic phenomenon manifesting as a conspiracy theory regarding a non-existent event known as the "Philadelphia Experiment". Reported knowledge of the Philadelphia Experiment appears to have occurred in multiple individuals in a close time period, all of them living at various locations directly north of 1345-A at the time of its only test. Affected individuals claimed to have knowledge of the Philadelphia Experiment, variously claiming to have witnessed it, read about it, or learned about it via other methods.

SCP-1346 - Phobia Induction Corridor

SCP-1346 is a cement corridor located in the subbasement of a former research center. The entrance is marked by a heavy steel door, 3.5 meters wide and almost 45 cm thick, and an identical door sits closed at the opposite end of the hallway. The corridor's anomalous nature manifests approximately 50-60 meters along its length. Shortly after crossing the 50-meter threshold, subjects start to report feelings of apprehension, which intensify the longer they remain in the passageway and the further along it they traverse. Eventually, a fear the subject harbors will begin to manifest into a fully-fledged phobia. Subjects may begin to hallucinate, imagining the presence of some entity or condition drawn from their psyche. If more than 10 minutes have been spent in the anomalous zone, the subject becomes overwhelmed with fear, attempting to retreat from the passageway as quickly as circumstances will allow. In most subjects, the feelings of fear and anxiety subside immediately upon exiting.

Hallucinations: When someone passes more than 50 meters down the corridor labeled SCP-1346, they start to have random audible hallucinations and eventually will hallucinate the presence of an entity or object that causes them extreme fear.
Supernatural Fear Inducer: Anyone who tries to go down the SCP-1346 corridor starts becoming afraid at around the 50 meter mark. The fear becomes stronger the longer they stay in the corridor and the farther they go down the corridor. The Foundation's tests indicate that there's a creature beyond the door at the end of the corridor, presumably the source of the fear effect.

SCP-1347 - Box Full of Questions

SCP-1347 is a 20cm pine box with a hinged lid and a slit on one side measuring seven centimeters by one centimeter. The phrase "All answers are born from questions." is written below the slit in black ink. The box's anomalous properties will only become active when a written question or inquiry is inserted into the slot. When the inquiry is sufficiently simple to answer, a Type A event occurs, wherein the item on which the inquiry was written disappears, replaced by an identical object with the inquiry being replaced by 1347's reply. A Type B event takes place when the inquiry inserted is complex or thought-provoking. These events will have 1347 manipulating events in to perform an experiment which will provide it with the information to formulate a reply. Once the experiment is over, the reply will appear in a manner identical to that of the appearance in a Type A event.

SCP-1348 - Inner Sanctum

SCP-1348 is a cave complex located 81 kilometers from the Jabal al-Druze Mountains in El Taebah, Syria. SCP-1348-01 was an anomalous humanoid observed performing a ritual practice of unknown provenance inside the complex, which died shortly after being taken into custody. SCP-1348-02 is the above-mentioned ritual practice, spoken portions of which are performed in an unknown language. When adequately performed by individuals meeting unclear criteria, 1348-02 prevents full retraction of the veil surrounding SCP-1348-03, the central chamber of the complex. When performed by appropriate celebrants, performances induce suggestibility, religious mania, and a desire to perform the practice, with repeated exposure resulting in obsessive compulsion. In the center of 1348-03 is a raised platform with a 9-meter radius, surrounded by cylindrical sheaths of beryllium bronze. At dawn, noon, and dusk, the sheath retracts, causing the neutron flux to increase to lethal levels. Performing 1348-02 appears to provide celebrants with substantial protection against radiation poisoning, and results in a complete closure of the outer sheath.

God: Heavily implied to be the Almighty.
God Needs Prayer Badly: The being behind the shroud was apparently hurt by some other beings for creating humanity. The ritual seems to be needed to keep them from finding him again.
Mind Screw: The Omega-class being interviewed (who is now currently experiencing radiation poisoning due to breaching protocol under the orders of the interviewer Dr. Kahn) explains what he saw when he looked beneath the veil. He mentions the Being was underwater, in space, and everywhere else. He starts by mentioning a Lion he saw on an old TV nature special, claiming it was inside the veil, he then says that the Lion was the interviewer's uncle, and that the being wants Dr. Kahn to come "home" but in truth the Being was referring to Dr. Kahn's father... or Dr Kahn. The Omega-class closes his story by saying that it's up to the doctor to decide on whether or not he returns "home".
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: It is mentioned that the being in the sanctum saved humanity and was consequently punished for it by the other beings for doing so. The veil hiding him from the other beings seems to be an extension of this punishment.

SCP-1349 - Stomach Bug

SCP-1349 is a variant of the forest caterpillar hunter beetle. These beetles do not pass the larval stage, but grow between approximately 5 and 15cm. Their saliva is slightly corrosive and causes an acute allergic reaction on the skin of a living organism upon contact. If 1349 bites a living organism, henceforth SCP-1349-1, it injects a chemical compound into the bloodstream, which induces changes in the reproduction and characteristics of the cells in the mucous membranes of the stomach, triggering the growth of multiple neoplasms which function as miniature stomachs. The growths will begin to spread to the intestinal tract of the subject after an additional three days. In 35% of cases, these micro-stomachs will begin to spread to the esophagus and lungs of the subject, effectively drowning them in gastric acid.

1350- 1399

SCP-1350 - The Pixel

SCP-1350 is a floating, mobile point of light of unknown origins. The light is not reflected by any known material, but it can be perceived by biological organisms and mechanical photosensitive equipment. 1350 and its light pass uninhibited through all known materials regardless of consistency or opacity. It will target and slowly accelerate toward any living creature with a mass greater than 2488 grams. Target acquisition is determined primarily by maintenance of direct observation by a living organism, secondly by proximity of the target and the target's mass. Upon reaching a target, the object moves into the brain, whereupon life functions immediately cease. Regardless of the mass of the target affected, the object immediately increases in volume, base speed, and apparent luminescence by exactly 22.7%.

SCP-1351 - Moebius Cave

SCP-1351 is a cave located within Kentucky's Mammoth Cave National Park. It is accessible through a dome in the ceiling of an otherwise unremarkable section of cavern 125 meters underground, but the dome's height would require 1351 to be well above surface level. The interior of the cave only has a single floor and wall. Over the course of the cavern's length, the floor and wall will "wrap around" to become the ceiling and a different wall, resembling a Moebius strip. Gravity orients towards the nearest floor, a dark band in the rock wall shows the location of the boundary between the local gravitational fields. The cause of this unusual spatial-warping is not understood yet.

Alien Geometries: The cave has one floor and one wall. Over the course of its length the floor "wraps around" to become the ceiling and the wall "wraps around" to become the other wall. Also, the direction of gravitational pull changes to match the local floor.
Bigger on the Inside: The dome in the center of the cave is 750 meters high, but based on its relationship to the surface above the cave it should only be 125 meters high.
Time Travel: Researchers exploring the cave in SCP-1351 found the remains of a Foundation expedition from the decade of the 2030s. The remains had been in the cave for more than 7,000 years, indicating that the expedition had entered the cave in the 2030s, gone back in time 7,000 years and been trapped and killed.
Year Outside, Hour Inside: A Foundation expedition entered the cave in 1925 and was discovered by the Foundation again in 2009. As far as the expedition was concerned they had only been in the cave for 18 hours.

SCP-1352 - Sentient Whirlwind

SCP-1352 is a dust devil that displays both sentience and a preference for interacting with humans. Upon interaction, it will shrink to three meters in height and will attempt to surround subjects as a sign of happiness. If the devil is excited, its wind speed and funnel size rapidly shift between 60 and 100 km/h. If angered, it grows to proportions similar to those of an F5 tornado, throwing debris at speeds excess of 300 km/h. 1352 has displayed signs of intelligent behavior, showing the ability to manipulate wind to pick up and place items weighing up to 500 kilograms with precision. 1352 has also been shown to respond to verbal commands in the manner of a housepet, responding to commands such as "stay", "go", "come here", and "fetch".

SCP-1353 - Comforting Centipedes

SCP-1353 is a group of animate felt sculptures resembling centipedes that vary in color and size, typically bearing at least twenty pairs of legs and a pair of functional eyes. 1353 display nocturnal behavior and will actively seek out sleeping humans to turn into hosts, collectively designated SCP-1353-A, via dermal exposure. Once embedded, the specimen will continue to move underneath the skin without causing tissue damage. Approximately 1 week later, 1353 will no longer be seen underneath the skin and is assumed to enter a dormant state inside of the host's abdominal cavity. 1353-A report being aware of hosting 1353, but do not usually report pain apart from the injuries caused by initial entry. They continue to function as normal human beings, with the only exception being when presented with any stimulation that invokes feelings of nostalgia, as this will re-activate 1353 to continue moving at random inside the body.

Body Horror: SCP-1353 can cut a hole in the skin (its venom is an anesthetic) and enter the human body, moving around inside of it. According to the SCP-1353-A subjects, this is exactly as uncomfortable and disturbing as it sounds.
Creepy Centipedes: SCP-1353 are gray knitted-felt centipedes about half a meter long. They can enter and move around inside the human body.
I Just Want to Be Loved: The all lowercase letters message left with the metal box in Austin claims that the centipedes are just there to "hUg you from the inSide! [sic]" and a not-very-hidden postscript in the misplaced capital letters of the note spells out "LOVE US".
Intangibility: After gnawing its way into its host, the creatures cause no other damage, just discomfort. SCP researchers posit that they may create some sort of ongoing spatial distortion.
Living Toys: Centipedes made of knitted gray felt that crawl around and take up residence inside the human body.
Nostalgia Ain't Like It Used to Be: Justified and essentially weaponized as a metaphor for individual backlash against nostalgia — the centipedes activate whenever their host feels nostalgia. Since the centipedes being active is so unpleasant, most hosts become conditioned over time to avoid any nostalgia whatsoever.
Non-Malicious Monster: Supposedly. SCP-1353's unknown creator (or possibly SCP-1353 themselves) left them with a note claiming that these "furry friends" were just "made to loVe you [sic]". Per standard protocol, the Foundation doesn't take them at their word — even it's just a case of Blue-and-Orange Morality and possibly not even intentional, losing access to any emotional state could have any number of unforeseen repercussions, not the least of which being the obvious "Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it."
Puppeteer Parasite: Downplayed — the centipedes don't directly control their hosts, they just squirm and claw around whenever the host feels nostalgia. This eventually leads most hosts to avoid any and all sources of nostalgia, eventually even potential sources.

SCP-1354 - Fancy-Talking Soup

SCP-1354 are 11 volumes of soup stock designated SCP-1354-1 through -11. Despite their age, the stock shows no signs of spoilage and has proven edible. They are exothermic, maintaining a constant temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and showing no signs of evaporation. 1354 are capable of responding to verbal communication via the manifestation of letter-shaped pasta. Each instance of 1354 appears to contain the consciousness of an individual from Oregon previously reported missing. Each missing individual corresponding to an instance shares several characteristics, most notably their ages and status as single parents.

Evil Chef: According to one instance, a new worker at a soup kitchen spent his time talking to food and told him that he hoped the instance's daughter would grow up with manners (he had not told anyone there about her) in response to him telling the worker to stop talking to his food and just eat it. Said instance also believes that said worker abducted his daughter.
Forced Transformation: SCP-1354 instances are volumes of soup stock that each contain the consciousness of a person reported missing from ██████████, Oregon between 19██ and 20██.

SCP-1355 - House of Harmonious Boxes

SCP-1355 is a one-story building that was used as a temporary book storage site. It is inhabited SCP-1355-1, a colony of lifeforms visually indistinguishable from cardboard boxes. Thermal imaging has revealed that 1355-1 possess heat signatures similar to humans, dissipating while in motion. Subjects who encounter 1355-1 report hearing multiple voices described as "beautiful" singing a song familiar to the subject. Subjects recovered were rendered incapable of talking or producing any vocalization, as their larynxes have been revealed missing via resonance imaging. None of the subjects appear concerned over or even aware of their loss of voice, despite being told this fact to their faces.

SCP-1356 - Rubber Ducky

SCP-1356 is a small rubber duck that, when held by a human subject, displaces liquid water. Tests reveal that approximate volume before and after exposure to 1356 remain consistent. However, even in the presence of a subject holding the duck, water levels were never observed to rise. This suggests that the object displaces the liquid to an unknown location, from which it eventually "returns". The duck's effects also extend to water that makes up the human body, as subjects have been discovered largely dehydrated hours after exposure.

SCP-1357 - The Children's Park

SCP-1357 is Playland, an amusement park in Poland with an area of 16km. Playland houses various attractions normally found at theme parks, such as rides, bumper cars, and assorted booths and stores. No items, commodities, or snacks require currency of any kind to operate or purchase. The park's anomalous properties are activated when a specified group of people, specifically two adults in a romantic relationship and a child under 18 that identifies the adults as their guardians. When these requirements are met, employees designated SCP-1357-A will manifest throughout the park. 1357-A vary in age, ethnicity, sex, and gender, but they typically appear in matching uniforms based on a popular children's television character. 1357-A have a rather strong attatchment to children with parents, and will do nearly anything to keep them inside the park.

Amusement Park of Doom: A humanoid creature that changes into a child's favorite cartoon/TV character and brainwashes them into never wanting to leave the park.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Hailey goes through this and becomes a park employee. It is possible that some of the other park staff are also children who have suffered the same fate.
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The more time SCP-1357-A spends with Haley, Agent Fredrick's daughter, the more "pedophilic" it seems to become.
I Never Told You My Name: During an interrogation of an "employee", the employee calls Agent Fredricks "Mr. Fredricks" without being told of his name.
Parental Abandonment: SCP-1357-A convinced Hailey that her parents stopped loving her.
Hailey: Steve, do mommies and daddies sometimes stop loving their babies?
SCP-1357-A: Hm, sometimes, I think. Why do you ask?
Hailey: I think my mommy and daddy stopped loving me. [sobbing]
SCP-1357-A: Oh, oh, oh, dear friend, don't be upset! We're here to love you even if your mean old parents won't.
Self-Duplication: SCP-1357-A (aka Park Employees) can make clones of themselves to overrun much more armed foes. Just ask the rescue team who was sent to get Fredrick's daughter out of the park.

SCP-1358 - Northern Lights

SCP-1358 is a heavily forested area of land in Canada. From 19:30 to 07:30, 1358 becomes inhabited by entities known as SCP-1358-1. These entities appear to be animate illuminated outlines of humanoid figures. They display signs of intelligence, occasionally performing coordinated and complex movements, but usually appear to wander aimlessly throughout 1358. At 6:30 AM, all entities freeze in place, their illumination appearing to wane and outlines blurring as the sun rises, until they resemble solid masses of dim light. 1358-1 display the ability to locate human beings anywhere within 1358, subjects who come in contact with them involuntarily tensing up, effectively paralyzing them. 1358-1 then begin climbing up onto each other's shoulders, until level with the apex of the closest tree. The subject is then transported up this "ladder" and placed at the peak of the tree, where they remain until vanishing along with 1358-1.

SCP-1359 - Indulgence In Flesh

SCP-1359 is a woman of Northern European descent missing her right eye, right ear, right foot, and the little, ring, and middle fingers on her left hand, as well as heavy scarring from the removal of skin. Any organism that visually observes her directly or via a depiction will be overcome with a single-minded determination to cut off a part of her body and consume it. Once successfully consumed, the urge to continue consuming her subsides until the eaten portion has fully passed through the digestive system. When questioned, people affected by 1359's anomalous property are unable to provide a coherent motive for attempting to cannibalize her body. They are not inhibited from identifying their actions as wrong on an intellectual level, and most of them still retain a strong dislike of cannibalism after the fact, but they are unable to attach appropriate negative emotional responses to attacking and eating a portion of her.

Artificial Limbs: She has a prosthetic foot.
Covered with Scars: "SCP-1359 is missing its right eye, right ear, right foot, and the little, ring, and middle fingers on its left hand."
Damsel out of Distress: Held captive in a guy's basement for six years. She comes to the attention of the Foundation after she beats him with a crutch until he's physically unable to follow her, goes upstairs despite only having one foot, and calls 911.
Insistent Terminology: "SCP-1359 or accurate pictographic depictions thereof"
Scars Are Forever: Has heavy scarring in unspecified locations from strips of flesh being removed.
Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious: If you look at her (or parts of her, or an "accurate pictographic depiction thereof"), You Are A Humanitarian for her, and you'll be incapable of feeling bad about your Horror Hunger or anything you do in your compulsion to fulfill it.
[People under SCP-1359's effect] are unable to attach appropriate negative emotional responses (e.g., remorse, disgust) to the act of attacking SCP-1359, the act of eating a portion of SCP-1359, the act of attempting to perform either of the previous, property damage or harm to themselves or others caused by their efforts to carry out their compulsion, or the sound at any volume of SCP-1359 petitioning them to halt their actions.

SCP-1360 - PSHUD #31

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the Those Twisted Pines folder.

SCP-1361 - Animal By-Product

SCP-1361 is an amorphous mass of animal tissue similar in appearance to mechanically separated meat. Tissue analysis indicates that 1361 contains DNA from 37 distinct species, including human beings, and contains high concentrations of ammonium hydroxide, rendering it caustic to exposed flesh. The mass possesses no sensory organs or internal structure and demonstrates no indications of being intelligent. 1361 is capable of limited locomotion along flat surfaces by means of contracting and expanding itself. If 1361 encounters any biological matter while traveling, it will attempt to engulf the object. Within 15-30 minutes, 1361 will digest the object, its mass and volume increasing by that of the devoured object. If not fed, 1361 will continue to lose weight until it is no longer capable of locomotion, at which point it will begin to spoil and grow mold. If 1361's mass exceeds 107 kg, it begins exuding a highly pleasant aroma that convinces humans and carnivorous animals exposed to approach and consume it, regardless of the caustic damage caused to the hands, mouth, and throat by this process. Once eaten, the consumed matter will begin to engulf the subject from the inside, digesting and turning them into another instance of 1361.

Blob Monster: SCP-1361 is a mass of animal tissue that can move along flat surfaces at 1.3 meters per minute. If it touches any biological material it will engulf and absorb it, changing it into more SCP-1361.
Impossibly Delicious Food: If it ever gets bigger than 107 kilograms (236 pounds), it will start producing an irresistible scent, described by a D-class as "better than a rare steak, crispy fried bacon, and a wet [EXPLETIVE DELETED] all rolled into one." If anyone eats it, SCP-1361 will start eating them from the inside instead. It smells even better when cooked, as D-class personnel will resort to violence in order to get the stuff after catching a whiff of it.
Kill It with Fire: If it becomes necessary to destroy SCP-1361, Foundation personnel are to use incineration to make sure it's destroyed.
The Virus: If any living creature consumes SCP-1361, it will be converted into more SCP-1361 over a period of 4-6 hours.

SCP-1362 - The Cartograhpers' Guild

SCP-1362 is a 500 square meter area in Greenland housing a graphite cube measuring 12cm x 12cm x 12cm at the center. SCP-1362-1 are 6 humanoid figures that manifest within 1362, standing 1.6 meters tall and weighing 72 kilograms, each dressed in a black shirt, pants, and sandals, with no visible branding. The upper body of all instances constantly produce a thick, black smoke, which obscures their faces and upper torsos. When active, 1362-1 will attempt to signal any transportation they can view, waving to any incoming vehicles approaching 1362. In addition to waving, 1362-1 will stick their thumbs out, whistle, and attempt to block vehicles from exiting by surrounding it. When no vehicles are present, 1362-1 will slowly walk along the perimeter of 1362, making notes of the surrounding area's topography.

SCP-1363 - Possessed Virus

SCP-1363 is a highly contagious RNA virus which specifically infects epithelial tissue. The virus is capable of rapidly mutating to resist hostile agents, rendering all antiviral treatments thus far ineffective. Three days to one week following exposure, subjects reporting a sour, metallic taste and persistent headache. Testing at this stage reveals 1363 present in the blood, generating skin lesions on the extremities through unknown means. Subjects will also develop severe, widespread arthritis, as well as anemia and a progressive suppression of the immune system. The lesions will start to form coherent words and sentences at this point, which are controlled by two entities, collectively designated SCP-1363-1. Both entities appear to be unaware of their nature, but are nonetheless amicable in personality, demonstrate in-depth knowledge of nuclear physics, and appear to enjoy interaction. Interviews have been very informative, as both entities are extremely willing to divulge personal information.

SCP-1364 - Ultra-Vulnerable Mammal

One of the more tragic anomalies contained, SCP-1364 is a small anteater which shows friendly behavior, occasionally attempting to embrace researchers with its elongated tongue. The anteater's physical form remains relatively static when unexposed to a significant amount of stimulus, but it grows increasingly vulnerable to prolonged exposure of even the most negligible of stimuli. Despite the presence of a digestive system, 1364 does not seem to require sustenance. Testing reveals that the creature actually fares better without it, as the process of chewing, swallowing, digestion, and defecation results in significant bodily stress. The cause of the creature's extreme vulnerability has not yet been discovered, as its body shows no specific physical anomalies.

Good Counterpart: It seems to be this to 682. 682 is a vicious, dangerous, obviously alien reptilian creature that the Foundation is trying desperately (and failing) to kill. 1364 is a harmless, sweet-natured, seemingly mundane at first glance (it looks like an anteater) mammal that the Foundation is trying desperately (and failing) to avoid accidentally severely injuring or even outright killing.
I Just Want to Be Loved: It has a very friendly demeanor and attempts to embrace researchers with its tongue.
Made of Plasticine: Physical contact with literally any substance is painful to 1364. Speaking to it in a normal tone of voice causes its ears to bleed, contact with water causes hair loss, and eating food is taxing to its digestive system.
Meaningful Name: Its number, actually. 682 × 2 = 1364.
Noodle Incident:
Subject rubbed against Copper (x1 application): [DATA EXPUNGED]
Pet the Dog: The Foundation is trying as hard as they can to make 1364's living situation as painless as possible. It is kept in a chamber with padded lining, a projector that shows calming images, and calming sounds playing in the background.
Sensory Overload: From everything. For instance, when a doctor spoke to it, it started bleeding from its ears, and putting water on it caused hair loss.
Weakened by the Light: Just daylight will cause skin irritation, although enough light, strangely, will cause it to levitate and turn translucent, with its organs and circulatory system visible. With even more light, it will disappear and reappear elsewhere away from the light.

SCP-1365 - Bike Justice

SCP-1365 is a bicycle in excellent condition bearing a small sticker reading "BIKE JUSTICE". Whenever a human attempts to mount 1365 and ride it for a distance greater than 20 meters, they will find themselves unable to control their legs or arms, which are used to steer and power the bike without any direction or guidance from themselves. After ten minutes of travel, 1365 will forcibly dislodge the subject, either by crashing into an inert object or simply throwing them off. In 90% of cases, the force used by the bike is sufficient to kill or fatally wound the subject upon impact, with the remaining 10% of subjects usually suffering a permanent disability impeding motor functions. Three to four hours after death or incapacitation, 1365 will vanish from its current location and reappear at the nearest location designed for storage of bikes in public places.

SCP-1366 - The Rumor Mill

SCP-1366 is a sawmill located in the town of Siskin. Originally built by the Siskin Logging Company in the 1820s, it was abandoned after a series of accidents that resulted in its owner's death. Though abandoned for well over 150 years and despite the exterior appearing to be on the verge of collapse, 1366 is remarkably stable. When unobserved, the head saw will activate sporadically. Following activation, a single canted log of unknown origin is dispensed onto the log chute and deposited outside the mill. The log, designated SCP-1366-A, will feature a piece of writing carved onto its interior, presented in the form of a sensationalist headline of dubious credibility and later published in the local newspaper. Publication of stories occur regardless of whether or not 1366-A has been observed by a member of the civilian populace. Approximately 68% of the time, following the publication of the story, exposure to the printed story will result in major psychological changes in Siskin's populace, including xenophobic behavior, psychotic episodes, paranoia, increased promiscuity, bouts of amnesia, and failure to notice or acknowledge the disappearance of its inhabitants.

SCP-1367 - Party Balloon

SCP-1367 is a red helium balloon of common make, inflated and tied shut with a 73.6cm white string. Testing of the object's physical durability has been minimal due to the fragile nature of balloons, but it has been concluded that it does not lose helium through its latex membrane. If left to float freely, the balloon will begin to maneuver towards the largest gathering of individuals within 480 meters, provided their mood is mildly positive. When 1367 comes within 4.5 meters of a targeted gathering, auditory abnormalities are heard by all within listening range. The amount of distinct speakers seems to be doubled, as additional voices invariably in high spirits are heard amongst the group. Voices include the laughter of children, people chanting "Chug", renditions of "Happy Birthday", moans of sexual activity, pipe organ music, and chants in an unknown language. The voices will not communicate with any specific individuals, but their speech and noise levels subside when the targeted group disperses or their mood changes to a non-positive state, causing 1367 to move to another group fulfilling its criteria if one is available.

SCP-1368 - Aegides

SCP-1368 is a sapient parasitic species of humanoids composed of a thin hollow layer of contiguous epidermal skin. In their natural state, 1368 are off-white, highly flexible, very strong, and somewhat elastic, similar in consistency and color to snakeskin. They are capable of moving in the same manner as a human, as well as slithering on the ground, undulating through water, or fluttering on air currents. An instance of 1368 parasitizes a human host by opening a long vertical seam on its front, enveloping the host completely and laying over them like a second skin. Once this is achieved, the seam seals shut and it becomes nearly perfectly transparent, only appearing slightly reflective on camera. 1368 are capable of controlling the movements of their host to a degree, physically forcing their muscles from the outside. 1368 use human hosts as means to their own ends, though an overall picture of their goals has yet to resolve. Although classified as parasitic due to the distinctly non-mutual nature of the relationship, 1368 do provide minor benefits to their hosts, such as protection from chemical irritants. If currently hosted, they feed directly on dead skin being sloughed off by their host in real time. They are capable of incorporating all dead skin they consume into their body mass, allowing them to heal from damage in a short period of time.

Healing Factor: SCP-1368 can absorb dust and use it to rebuild its structure, allowing it to heal almost all types of damage except fire.
Kill It with Fire: SCP-1368 can only be completely destroyed by incineration: any other type of damage can be regenerated by its Healing Factor. Any Foundation personnel affected by SCP-1368 are to be burned.

SCP-1369 - Feelers

SCP-1369 is a humanoid figure with four heads arranged in radial symmetry at the base of the neck, and four arms arranged in a similar fashion around the thorax. In place of legs, 1369 exhibits a mass of tendrils beginning at the abdomen. Each of 1369's heads appear to continuously moan in different octaves of the same pitch when a test subject enters the containment area. The sound appears to have a luring effect on observers, who approach 1369, disrobe, and place their heads in an open cavity within the thorax in a process that lasts several hours. During this time, the blood of 1369 circulates through the subject's circulatory system. Subjects tested report vomiting into a narrow passage in the thorax after the process is complete. Stomach acid and undigested biological matter pass through the base of 1369 by means of an unknown chemical reaction, expanding up to ten times in size into a viscous gray fluid. The fluid is emancipated through an orifice located at the base of 1369, normally coating the surrounding area in a natural setting and remains there for a space of four days.

SCP-1370 - Pesterbot

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps.

SCP-1371 - Curiously Buoyant Amphibian

SCP-1371 is a juvenile axolotl that is fairly durable and capable of withstanding contaminants that would normally harm a member of its species. The amphibian is buoyant in air, capable of "swimming" upwards distances of 50 meters from the ground, though it spends most of its time on the ground and rarely ascends higher than 1 meter. It is believed that when affected by an external force that would move it downwards, 1371 generates a massive excess of "buoyancy" to compensate for its displacement.

SCP-1372 - The Utter West

SCP-1372 is a phenomenon affecting a geodesic segment located along the western longitude and southern latitude of the planet. When a ship approaches 1372 from the east while travelling west, observers aboard the ship will observe a termination of the horizon at a close distance, directly facing west more than any other direction. At close range, the horizon appears to have a physical point of termination, corresponding to what observers describe as an "edge" of the Earth. Other than cognizance of the "edge" and a mild curiosity as to what it looks like close up, no psychological effects are noticed at this stage. Further approach increases the perception of the "edge", whereupon subjects will experience an increasing and continuous compulsion to investigate what may be on the other side, in spite of any perceived or communicated dangers, while resisting attempts to change their course. Any ship that crosses 1372 will disappear from all forms of visual contact, thus the nature of the area they travel to is not yet fully understood. On occasion, sailing ships will emerge from 1372, collectively designated SCP-1372-1. Observation of these ships has shown sails tattered or missing, engines are corroded beyond usability, rudders observed to have been destroyed, and in one case, a large hole below the waterline.

SCP-1373 - Laser Shark Fetuses

SCP-1373 is a species of shark reminiscent of the dusky shark, their pectoral fins bearing luminescent tattoos reading "Property of Doctor Wondertainment". The carcasses of 6 fetal instances of these sharks, designated SCP-1373-01 through -06, are afflicted with cyclopic holoprosencephaly. Manipulation of each fetus' dorsal fin causes the eye to emit laser beams, with the intensity able to be adjusted with the amount of pressure on the fin. The mechanism by which 1373 generate their lasers is not fully understood.

SCP-1374 - Preparation

SCP-1374 is a text-based phenomenon that appears to specifically affect five structures used for human interaction with anomalies at any given time. Within affected buildings, subjects that have worked with anomalous objects for a time period greater than one year will randomly encounter 1374 within the structure. 1374 will manifest as short sentences or phrases that appear throughout a variety of media, including spray paint on walls, handwritten notes, and official reports. If an infected structure becomes inactive or ceases work with anomalies for time periods of greater than ten days, 1374 will no longer affect the structure. The nature and tone of 1374's messages appear to vary widely between structures, ranging from critical, supportive, and vindictive.

SCP-1375 - Extraterrestrial Tube Station

SCP-1375-1 is a steel service door in a decommissioned station of the London Underground. When opened, 1375 contains a standing space-time aperture to SCP-1375-2, a near-exact copy of the station prior to decommission located on an extraterrestrial moon, orbiting a blue-green gas giant which itself is in orbit around a transitional-phase red giant star. The location of this solar system is currently unknown, though astronomical observation with the goal of identifying its location is ongoing.

Sdrawkcab Speech: All the writing in SCP-1375-2 is printed backwards, with the exception of a Portuguese can of kernel corn.

SCP-1376 - Documentary Camcorder

SCP-1376 is a yellow Sanyo VPC-WH1YL waterproof camcorder manufactured around 2009, which is outwardly unremarkable except for some minor scuffs and scratches as a result of extended use. Whenever a video recording is created with the camcorder, the resulting audio track is narrated by a male voice with a British accent in the manner of a nature documentary. Disassembly and inspection of the camcorder has yielded no irregularities or abnormal components.

SCP-1377 - Automaton Parliament

SCP-1377 is a phenomenon where a humanoid animatronic of varying physical characteristics (SCP-1377-01) will make its way from an unknown origin point to an official session of a legislative body, presenting a set of forged credentials identifying itself as a member of said body and attempting to address the chamber. 1377-01 are composed of living, organic tissue, the anatomy of which varies significantly from that of humans, possessing an indeterminate, fleshy mass where the thoracic system would ordinarily be and a skeletal structure composed of tissue resembling hardened cartilage. If allowed to proceed into the legislative chambers at which the specimen emerges, 1377-01 will make a "speech". The content of this "speech" has varied greatly between instances, including electronic screeches, gorilla hoots, and human speech with no linguistic pattern.

SCP-1378 - A Trip to the Mall

SCP-1378 is a small shopping mall destroyed by an electrical fire. Human subjects within the perimeter of the building's east wing have reported numerous anomalous phenomena, most notably heavily distorted human voices and periodic temperature spikes. Attempts to record the voices onto electronic media have failed, but corroboration between affected subjects has resulted in highly consistent transcripts of such phenomena, suggesting a common source for each such incident. A small number of individuals with above-average extrasensory sensitivity have reported being able to see intangible humanoid figures with varying levels of clarity, and an even smaller number of individuals have received unexplained burns of varying severity in conjunction with periods of thermal fluctuation.

SCP-1379 - Stab Your Inner Child

SCP-1379 is a canvas painting depicting a clown and two children in greasepaint, held in a frame roughly 1.2m x 1.5m in size. Subjects who make disparaging remarks about the painting will feel a sharp pain in the center of their chest within five to ten minutes. The pain will persist for roughly 20 minutes before suddenly ending, after which the subjects will be irreversibly mentally changed. Adults will become unable to experience nostalgia and simple curiosity, with more creatively inclined subjects losing the will to create or perform. Children will become permanently subdued and highly suggestible, with little interest towards anything not directly related towards physical survival. The affected childreb will no longer show signs of any imaginative ability or creative potential, as well as an extremely stunted capability for learning non-physical, non-critical skills.

SCP-1380 - Room #16

SCP-1380 is a phenomenon centered around a former science lab in Dresden Elementary School, consisting of SCP-1380-A, the nebulous black space that formerly contained the lab, labeled on diagrams as "Room #16", SCP-1380-B, a remote location on the Baja peninsula, and SCP-1380-C, a light switch on the wall of the former lab. When 1380-C is turned on, the science lab is located in 1380-A, able to be entered without difficulty via the door. During this period, 1380-B appears to be a normal desert region. When 1380-C is turned off, the lab is located at 1380-B.

SCP-1381 - Cats' Cabinet

SCP-1381 is a pine dresser cabinet with two doors set beside three drawers. The bottom drawer can be opened only partially and is empty, and neither the other drawers or doors can be opened manually. 1381 has the ability to attract any species of cat from a 15km radius. When a cat is introduced to 1381, it will begin rapidly "digging" at the left side of the cabinet while vocalizing distress. After one to five minutes, the right door of 1381 will swing open and the animal will enter. 10 to 20 hours after a cat enters 1381, both doors will open to reveal instances of SCP-1381-01 and SCP-1381-02. 1381-01 are feline-like beings with an outer surface that does not reflect light, luminescent eyes, elongated claws, and double-jointed limbs. 1381-02 are creatures similar to 1381-01, but are significantly larger, faster, and stronger than 1381-01, capable of directing the latter through unknown means.

Immune to Bullets: When a big cat (lion, tiger, etc.) enters the cabinet, sometime later cat-like creatures called SCP-1381-01 emerge from it. SCP-1381-01 are unharmed by bullets.
Kill It with Fire: The creatures created by the cabinet (known as SCP-1381-01 and SCP-1381-02) are Immune to Bullets but not to flamethrowers.

SCP-1382 - Save Our Souls

SCP-1382 is a functional red sea mark water buoy that has suffered structural damage indicative of a high speed impact. The buoy is anchored to SCP-1382-2, the remains of a commercial passenger liner that vanished over Lake Michigan in 1973 embedded on the sea floor. In darkened conditions, 1382 flashes the international distress signal "S.O.S." at ten-second intervals. Contained within 1382-2 are fifty-six instances of SCP-1382-3, the skeletal remains of what are believed to be the passengers and crew of the downed flight. When 1382-1 becomes active, 1382-3 become animate, appearing distressed and assuming crash positions in their seats, suggesting that they "relive" the crash of the flight.

SCP-1383 - Partially-Functioning Pataphorical Torment Chamber

SCP-1383 is Room 14 of a Motel 6 in Gilroy, California. Sapient beings that enter the room are physically and mentally unchanged, but they become subjected to an effect which causes anyone who thinks about an affected person to believe that the person is still physically inside 1383. Feelings of dissociation are often reported following contamination, although no physiological effects have been diagnosed. Those coming into frequent contact with affected subjects complain of a distressing sense of cognitive dissonance. A significant portion of 1383's article is blacked out, containing hidden messages within the censors, shown to be the work of an unknown party attempting to make contact with another unknown party.

SCP-1384 - Taker of Turns

SCP-1384 is a sapient entity with varying appearance, typically appearing as a human or human-shaped construct ranging from 1.5 to 2 meters in height, though it has also appeared to be made of materials ranging from porcelain to bone to white plastic. 1384 claims to be under certain rules that govern its abilities and behavior, which it refuses to divulge. It is otherwise cooperative and genial, though it seems to prefer some people to others. All attempts to injure or force 1384 have had no effect. The entity is housed inside a sixty-meter tunnel under a church in Scotland, constructed of a single piece of marble with three-meter thick walls and ceiling. The floor is tiled with colored squares in white, yellow, black, blue and orange. 1384 has stated that its goal is to reach the entrance of the hallway and leave the tunnel.

SCP-1385 - The Mistake Ring

SCP-1385 is a concrete ring measuring 19mm in diameter and weighing 1.4 grams. The object has many superficial flaws in the form of cracks and air bubbles, though it has been coated with a polyurethane resin, resulting in a glossy texture. The ring's anomalous properties become evident when a living human wears it on any part of their body. The most immediately evident effect is the instantaneous appearance of milk thistles on any surface the subject's feet touch. Secondary effects include a rapid increase in the growth of the subject's hair, which weaves itself into a net-like pattern and allows the subject to gain conscious control. Subjects under 1385's influence also have an unexplained effect on lobsters, which will invariably attempt physical contact with the subject with no regard to their self-preservation.

Punny Name: It's meant to sound like "the mystic ring".
Fertile Feet: The ring grants this, but in a painful way, since the only plant that will grow is milk thistle.
Prehensile Hair: The ring makes the wearer's hair grow into a net.
Despair Event Horizon: Its creator tried to make "a conjuring ring", but nothing seemed to work. In the end, all he could create was this SCP, which still doesn't meet his expectations, so he gave up and abandoned the ring.

SCP-1386 - Sentient Ice Cream Van

SCP-1386 is a "Good Humor"-brand ice cream truck in poor condition, lacking images and descriptions of the products it sells. The vehicle is sapient, driving itself while playing instrumental melodies of "Pop Goes the Weasel" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" 24 hours a day. 1386 has a thin slot in the middle of its driver-side door, which only becomes visible when it dispenses ice cream, along with a receipt with "sloppy, but legible" handwriting. The van receives payment through the same slot it delivers ice cream from, and will drive away as soon as it is paid. The prices and flavors of the products it sells fluctuate daily, but it never runs out of stock. The vehicle is known to become hesitant or hostile whenever customers appear unhappy when approaching it, as well as if they try to get out of paying for their ice cream.

Bad Humor Truck: It becomes extremely hostile if customers try to get out of paying; it reduced one cheapskate scientist to a pile of pink slurry.
Ear Ache: If it doesn't sense at least $20 on a person approaching it, a siren that has been known to cause inner ear bleeding will blare from it.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a ice cream van that moves and dispenses ice cream despite no one being behind the wheel.
Foil: To SCP-490, another sentient ice cream truck with anomalous sound-based capabilities. While 1386 is sentient at all times and is docile as long as a customer is happy and pays the full price, 490 is actively malicious and tries to hunt people for Human Resources but is only sentient between 2-5am.
Happiness Is Mandatory: If the person approaching it doesn't appear to be happy, it will produce a growl.
Kick the Dog: It sometimes inflates its prices on a whim, although never above the $20 mark.
Servile Snarker: It occasionally insults those who try to give it unorthodox custom orders, and while it will provide change, it will do so in an elaborately backhanded manner.
Shoplift and Die: The truck has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to cheapskates who refuse to pay the full price, so don't try to rip it off by not paying the full price. One of the doctors learned this the hard way.

SCP-1387 - Giant Seagull Airlines

SCP-1387 is an immense bird similar in appearance to a seagull that lacks a heart, respiratory system, or digestive system, instead containing an interior that closely resembles the cabin of a passenger aircraft. On the sides of 1387's body are several rigid flaps of skin which act as entrance points to the interior. 1387 does not require nutrition, but recovers slowly, with significantly major injuries rendering it comatose for weeks. Once every 3 to 5 months, 1387 will land at the airport nearest its current location and produce a perceptual effect that causes people to perceive it as a jet. During this state, a group of between twenty-three and thirty-four people in the airport (designated SCP-1387-1) will attempt to move towards 1387 and enter its interior. Once all instances of 1387-1 have entered, 1387 will take off and fly until it next exhibits its primary effect.

SCP-1388 - One Size Fits All Superoos®

SCP-1388 is a brand of brief-style underwear with designs related to various unlicensed superheroes in a comic-book style. The words "SUPER POWERS" are stitched into the waistband, and a label on the rear reads "One Size Fits All Superoos®." Two identical pairs in containment have demonstrated that anyone who views the garment is overcome with a compulsion to wear them, and that all pairs allow for their waistband stretch and accommodate any person without stress or damage done to the garment. Any person wearing the garment believes themselves to be a superhero, capable of superhuman strength, heightened senses, and unassisted flight. No physical changes or new abilities have been observed despite the subject's insistence as to their new powers, aside from blood and urine samples indicating significantly increased amounts of dopamine and serotonin.

SCP-1389 - A Saint

SCP-1389 is a gilded painting of a Christian saint wearing an expression of great distress, rendered in Russian Orthodox tradition. 1389 has no abnormal visual attributes, but the saint is slightly warmer than standard facility temperature. X-ray imaging reveals a complete human skeleton directly underneath the surface of the image, flattened and scaled with the saint's form. No dissections have been carried out on the painting due to the possibility of destroying it, but CT scans indicate that a fully functional circulatory and nervous system exist underneath the "paint", implying that it is a living organism. The saint has shown that it is capable of moving its eyes to follow an object, and has proven capable of communicating with personnel through a device, but it has refused to respond directly to questions asked to it.

SCP-1390 - A Dead Language

SCP-1390 is a grammatical structure only exhibited in the language of a long-forgotten civilization. Artifacts containing instances of 1390, known as SCP-1390-1, have been found in the Mongolian steppes, the Apennines, and the coast of Brazil. SCP-1390-2 are individuals exposed to contact or meaningful knowledge of the syntactical structure of 1390, 60% of which become obsessed with decoding and studying the language's syntax. Infection occurs in a greater rate in individuals who show interest in the mechanics of language, and proceeds more swiftly in subjects who are fluent in multiple languages. Infected subjects firmly believe 1390 to be a language created by "Angels", as well as that it is the only "pure" language in existence.

Grammar Nazi: People in the first stage of infection develop an obsession with correcting bad grammar.
The Virus: People infected with the SCP are capable of spreading the infection to others.

SCP-1391 - Field of Stone

SCP-1391 is an area of land in Canada bordering protected Algonquin reserves, measured at 12 hectares. The land currently holds 137 abstract depictions of screaming heads made from concrete. Engraved on both sides of each head are a name and date, determined to be the named individual's date of death. Investigations have determined that the names on the stones match those of individuals who visited the location at sometime. Of note is that stones bearing the names of suicide victims are variously disfigured. It has been determined through corroboration of records and observation that the heads appear near the time of death of the individual named on a given statue.

SCP-1392 - Functioning Scarificator

SCP-1392 is an antique scarificator dated to the late 19th century, constructed primarily of brass with an ebony handle and cutting edges of surgical steel. Like mundane scarificators, it is operated by pressing its slotted side to the skin, unlocking the spring mechanisms, which are forced out through the slots to create incisions in the skin prior to retracting. The anomalous properties of the instrument manifest upon its use. The object has been found to function in a manner consistent with the Hippocratic theory, displaying etiological and symptomatic curative properties when used on diseases treatable by sanguination. The number of treatments needed to cure an illness is relative to the severity of the illness being treated.

SCP-1393 - Somebody Else's Mess

SCP-1393 is a spherical portal measuring 1.8m in diameter and positioned 10cm above the ground, which has remained active since February 2013. While active, 1393 continually exudes a slag-like substance from its surface. Roughly 85% of this material is primarily composed of a combination of silica, quicklime, alumina, sodium borate, and magnesite. Traces of mercury, uranium, phosphorous, sulfur, radium, and other toxic elements have also been detected. It has been established that 1393 is used as the point of disposal for an extradimensional waste management business.

Landfill Beyond the Stars: The Earth is used as a landfill for extraterrestrial entities to dump their industrial waste on. It's even advertised as one.

SCP-1394 - Dream Syringe

SCP-1394 is an ornate brass syringe dating to the early 1600s. When fully assembled, 1394 will fill with a saline solution at a rate of 1mL per minute. When this solution is injected into a patient afflicted with disease, they will sleepwalk four minutes after their next onset of REM sleep. While sleepwalking, subjects will experience a dream that accurately simulates their surrounding environment, aside from the presence of various medications and medical devices. The subject reports involuntarily using these devices during the dream to perform a medical procedure on themselves, intending to cure or alleviate their conditions, the actions they describe corresponding to actions taken during sleepwalking.

Sleepwalking: Anyone injected with the syringe's contents begin sleepwalking after 4 minutes of sleep, and cannot be woken for 40 minutes.

SCP-1395 - Cave Apparition

SCP-1395 is a cave located near a mountain in Greece, suggested to possess a depth of at least 500 meters. 1395's anomalous properties manifest when a subject travels approximately three hundred meters inside. After reaching this point, a humanoid entity appearing as a silhouetted apparition known as SCP-1395-A will manifest, blocking the path inside the cave. 1395-A claims to have lived in the Ancient Greek city-state of Carystus, and though it will not forcefully impede any attempts to leave the cave, subjects encountering 1395-A report a strong desire to stay in its presence. If approached by an individual or group, 1395-A will engage them in conversation in their native language, appearing to derive pleasure from describing and recounting its presumed life. Following the encounter, 1395-A will demanifest, erasing all memories of the encounter from the subjects' minds.

SCP-1396 - Jovian Kill-Sats

SCP-1396 are 5 weaponized artificial satellites of varying size orbiting Jupiter. They appear to be of human origin, but where and when they were constructed, as well as how they were transported, remains unknown. SCP-1396-1 consists of a central hull coated with hexagonal ablative armor plates powered by what are believed to be radioisotope generators. SCP-1396-2 is a satellite of identical profile and mass to 1396-1, which is believed to have been rendered inactive. SCP-1396-3, -4, and -5 are identical satellites of a similar, smaller profile. Each satellite is estimated to have carried approximately sixty kinetic bombardment projectiles, and are also inactive and presumed neutralized. Over a period of 18 months, the satellites initiated kinetic bombardment attacks against unknown targets within the atmosphere of Jupiter in over 37 separate incidents.

SCP-1397 - A Failed Work of Art

SCP-1397 are travel guides that describe rural locations in the former Czechoslovakia. The anomalous effects of the guides manifest when a human subject falls asleep or otherwise becomes unconscious within five meters of one of them. Subjects report finding themselves awake and standing in a location described in their particular guide, but despite this, their body doesn't move or vanish from its original location. Subjects' reports of their experiences differ, save for the presence of unrealistic and surreal "dream-like" events. Subjects who awake after having experienced 1397's effects are confused and hostile, and become nervous and upset when questioned about the reality of the perceived events. In addition, subjects express the belief that all of their dreams are in fact real events, accompanied with a fear of said dreams.

SCP-1398 - Hateful Dead

SCP-1398 is a copy of the Grateful Dead compilation album Skeletons from the Closet, contained on a standard 12-inch LP. The record itself and its album cover are designated SCP-1398-1 and SCP-1398-2, respectively, and almost physically indistinguishable from other copies of the same album. The songs contained on the LP are designated SCP-1398-1-1 through 1-11. The anomalous properties of the album manifest when it is played in the presence of individuals capable of perceiving anomalies. These listeners report slight uneasiness and hearing substantial deviations from the recordings contained on other copies of the album. Though the musical arrangements of songs remain unchanged, the lyrics are altered to encompass tales and subjects markedly different from normal recordings. The altered songs contain lyrics relating to rape, death, murder, ritual sacrifice, and various world-ending scenarios.

SCP-1399 - Another Way of Hearing

SCP-1399 is a 15-page children's book titled "Another Way of Hearing." When read one page at a time, the book consists of a variety of disconnected images that have strongly associated auditory connections, along with indicators for "another way of hearing" said images. The anomalous effect occurs once the book is finished being read entirely, whereupon the reader ceases receiving auditory stimuli from the world around them and instead picks up the auditory stimuli of an alternate universe, as though their sense of hearing was transposed to said universe.

1400- 1449

SCP-1400 - Sirens

SCP-1400 is a humanoid resembling a Caucasian man of indeterminate age and average build, clad only with a black FM50 gas mask with opaque smoked lenses. It is intangible to all human beings except for a single random Caucasian man of similar build to itself that it will focus on, designated SCP-1400-A. The entity speaks constantly, though its vocalizations are indecipherable due to the mask. 1400's voluntary activities consist almost entirely of observing 1400-A. Though the position of its eyes cannot be observed through its mask, the motions of its head track 1400-A's movements closely. Reactions to the creature vary between subjects, although most tend towards fear and distrust it, as is typical for persons confronted with the reality of constant surveillance.

SCP-1401 - Lost Highway

SCP-1401 is a former stretch of highway paved in the early 20th century. During nighttime hours, motor vehicles traveling along 1401 do not arrive at their destination and cannot be located by any means. Monitoring equipment has failed during disappearances, and pursuing aircraft have noted the test vehicle's headlights spontaneously deactivate concurrent with equipment failure, as well as instantaneous disappearance of the test vehicle's heat signature from onboard infrared imaging equipment. SCP-1401-1 are several hundred motor vehicles with license plates and physical descriptions matching vehicles that have disappeared while traveling along 1401, ranging in chronological design from a 1916 Ford Model T to a 2006 Toyota Camry. Upon manifesting, an instance of 1401-1 will proceed to drive in no particular direction upon any highway, arterial road, surface street, alleyway, or back road legally open to civilian traffic.

SCP-1402 - The Tell-All Briefcase

SCP-1402 is a plastic brown Royal Traveler briefcase that can be opened by unlatching 2 stainless steel clips found on either side of the rubber handle. If presented to any object or organism and opened, 1402 will dispense a number of documents providing explicit detail of the subject's history up until it was presented. The mechanism by which 1402 achieves this is unknown, as is the mechanism by which it acquires paper and ink to print this information.

SCP-1403 - Electric Goldfish

SCP-1403 is a collection of female creatures resembling goldfish, each contained within a light bulb of non-standard design. Inside each bulb is approximately 120mL of a solution of proteins, amino acids, and water necessary for nutrition and respiration. 1403 do not appear to consume food or produce waste, instead receiving sustenance when electric current is passed through the water they reside in. Dissections have revealed that the fish possess no digestive tract, instead having an organ responsible for converting electricity into sustenance. When connected to an electric current, these fish are capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation in the segment of the visual spectrum corresponding to orange.

SCP-1404 - Cereal Bowl

SCP-1404 consists of a ceramic black bowl and a stainless steel spoon. If either object is placed in an orientation that is not standard for eating, it will slowly right itself into a suitable position by unknown means. Once upright, both items will slide in the direction of the nearest table-like surface at a speed of 20 meters per hour. 1404 have also been observed sliding up and down walls, accessing ventilation systems, moving along ropes 1 centimeter in diameter, and dropping from heights of 30m without damage. Five minutes after settling into position, the bowl will slowly fill with dairy milk through an unknown external source. Once the milk reaches 472 mL, cereal letters will rise from the milk and spell out a variety of phrases. While these phrases are vague in meaning, they are consistently negative and threatening. When unhindered, the phrases will remain for 24 hours, at which point the letters simultaneously sink out of sight, a new phrase emerging 30 seconds later.

SCP-1405 - A Large Prehistoric Sloth

SCP-1405 is a life-size model of a prehistoric giant ground sloth, previously displayed in a natural history museum for 12 years. When undisturbed for a variable period of time, the sloth will become animate and move around its enclosure. 1405's behavior is comparable both to extant species of sloth and other large herbivores. It mostly spends time browsing on vegetation, sleeps in a ground nest, scratching and rubbing on trees, and playing with various objects. While it prefers an herbivorous diet, the sloth will also consume meat, wood, plastic, plaster, and bite-sized pieces of metal. If startled, 1405 will instantly revert to its inactive pose, sitting on its hind legs with one forearm raised. It is apparently able to maintain this pose indefinitely, and will not react to any stimuli during this time.

SCP-1406 - An Old Entity

SCP-1406 is a medium-sized structure consisting primarily of bricks and sheet metal, affixed with a wooden door and located in a heavily damaged building in France. Individuals inside 1406 have reported experiencing various hallucinatory and psychological effects. These effects include hallucinations of a pair of heavily injured octopi mating, a sensation of the structure's interior being slightly larger than the exterior, and a prolonged sense of slight forgetfulness upon exiting. 1406 also contains an object resembling a chair constructed of ten to twenty small pieces of metal, coated in a semi-transparent, mildly luminescent violet liquid. Analysis of this fluid has shown it to be a mixture of purple dye, tungsten, and several unidentified substances.

Bigger on the Inside: When a person is in the SCP-1406 building they will perceive that the inside of the building is slightly larger than the outside. This is due to their being influenced by the mind of the entity.
Eldritch Abomination: This was the original nature of the entity in the SCP-1406 building.
When the universe was young, the entity was a great, massive thing. Its form was twisted, unnamable and ancient, as to drive men mad in their attempts to envisage it.

SCP-1407 - DJ's Headphones

SCP-1407 are a collection of headphones composed of ordinary plastic and various metal wires. When a pair of 1407 is worn in the ears of a human subject, it will extrude wires into the ear canal. After a period of 20-45 minutes, the wires will reach the cochlea and extend into the pores of the ear canal, physically removing any hair and replacing them with additional wires. At this point, the subject will be unable to remove 1407 without severely damaging their ear canals. 1407 will create additional instances of itself underneath the subject's skin, as well as within the stomach, cranium, and intestines, by replicating its components with bone, muscle, and bodily fluids. If the subject is exposed to sounds greater than 115 dB, the speakers within the body will replicate the sound.

Body Horror: When SCP-1407 is placed in a human being's ears it will insert wires throughout the body, eventually creating more instances of itself.
Chest Burster: SCP-1407 creates more instances of itself inside a human body, such as in the stomach, head and intestines. When enough are created the internal pressure will cause them to be expelled from the body through its orifices or through the skin.
Eye Scream: If a human being with SCP-1407 inside its body is exposed to sound above 115 dB, the tissue of the victim's eyes will begin to flake off or dissolve.

SCP-1408 - Victorian-Era Memory Rewriter

SCP-1408 is an electromechanical device dating back to the 1800s, consisting of a main unit constructed from wood, clockwork, and pulleys connected to a metallic head cap with multiple cables. When the head cap is placed on the head of a human subject and the device activated, 1408 transcribes the encoded memories of the subject onto a wax roll in the main unit by an unknown process. 1408 is currently inoperable, partially due to severe deterioration of its components.

SCP-1409 - The Whalesong Beacon

SCP-1409 is a series of recordings made by hydrophones in the southern Atlantic Ocean. They are simultaneous recordings of a single set of vocalizations made by a male Humpback Whale lasting for 19 minutes and 34 seconds, and have been determined by testing to be the active part of the recording. Individuals who listen to the vocalizations report a human voice singing in an unknown language in place of the actual content of the recording. While the meaning of the song cannot be made out, each listener believes that the voice is addressing them directly, and some assert that the singer sounds "sad" or "lonely". Listeners initially begin to identify strongly with the "singer", and show an unusual ability to remember the song. Over a varying length of time, affected subjects will begin to experience a strong desire to travel to an area comprising approximately 40 cubic meters of water in the Atlantic Ocean, designated Point 1409-Alpha, by any means available. If a subject successfully reaches 1409-Alpha, they invariably experience feelings of shock and betrayal, claiming that they were led to believe there was a person or object at 1409 of great value.

SCP-1410 - Sweating Stone

SCP-1410 is a water-smoothed stone that appears to possess limited sapience, connected to the colored perspirations it emits at regular intervals. SCP-1410-1 are optical illusions created by 1410, the exact natures contingent on the same perspirations. 1410 does not seem to be aware that it is the source of the hallucinations and will react negatively to them, increasing its rate of perspiration and thus the creation of additional perspirations.

SCP-1411 - Mirror, Mirror

SCP-1411 is a collection of machinery found in a cave in the Turkestan Mountain Range of Uzbekistan. While much of the equipment's purpose and function is unknown, several parts are assessed to be receivers for a signal propagated through unknown means, and one section in particular has been identified as a transmitter. Central to the entire assembly is a large video display, showing an unknown location. The location shown has similar machinery to 1411, referred to as SCP-1411-B. Damages sustained to 1411-B include electrical discharges, changes in local gravity, and an increase in the rate in heat transfer between objects in the area. When a human touches a recessed panel in the transmitter, it triggers the production of an autonomous machine by 1411-B. When a robot is created, it is imprinted with the consciousness of the person who activates the transmitter. Communication suggests that the robots possess all memories and personality of the originals, and are also imprinted with information necessary for the maintenance and basic repairs of 1411-B.

SCP-1412 - Two Dead Sisters

SCP-1412 is a pair of trees reminiscent of Japanese cedar, with similar biological profiles and slight variations in appearance. The trees achieve mobility through growth, as frontal maws located underneath their bases digest plant and animal matter, which is then processed to produce bark for propulsion, effectively pushing them forward. 1412 will not consume human matter and do not actively hunt for food, save for the purpose of using it for mobility.

SCP-1413 - SPORTSBALL

SCP-1413 is a television program detailing a violent sporting event referred to in all broadcasts as variants of common sporting names, most of which contain the postfix "-ball". Each broadcast is approximately one hour long, and usually features unrelated sporting events presented in a style similar to Olympic-themed competitions, accompanied by running commentary. As a subject views a broadcast, they will begin to associate any feelings they have towards organized sports with 1413's content. If the subject continues to view 1413, all athletic paraphernalia they own will be altered to reflect the equivalent in 1413. Affected subjects will also react with confusion when other subjects are not aware of the existence of 1413, as they believe it to be as well-known as any other major sporting league.

SCP-1414 - Passive-Aggresive Radio

SCP-1414 is a radio with a non-functional cassette deck and CD player. When its power supply is interrupted and restored, the first human to speak a command to the radio will become an instance of SCP-1414-1. 1414 will change stations, as well as increase or decrease its volume, upon command from 1414-1. 1414 is able to detect commands in a variety of formats, including, voice synthesizers, sign language, writing, semaphore flags, and Morse code. 1414 also appears to be able to receive any broadcast signal described by 1414-1 anywhere on the planet, regardless of frequency, location, or signal strength. When the volume is set higher than "6" by physically adjusting the volume control or by having 1414-1 request it, 1414-1 will gradually become deaf to any sound not originating from 1414 itself.

SCP-1415 - Flesh Gauntlet

SCP-1415 is a fingerless, left-handed leather gauntlet. The object has a tendency to expand and contract slightly, giving it the appearance of breathing. The object's anomalous properties come into effect when its wearer grasps an object in such a way that the palm of the gauntlet rests upon it. In a process that takes place over 1-3 seconds, the target is converted into a living organism composed of various tissues, destroying extant tissue in the wearer's body roughly equivalent to the mass of the converted object.

SCP-1416 - Transmigratory Teapot

SCP-1416 is a ceramic vessel in the shape of a human head with Quapaw facial markings indicated to have been manufactured in the mid-16th century, apparently designed for the preparation of tea. 1416's anomalous effects become apparent when a sample of human flesh is placed in the vessel prior to boiling water within it. The resulting liquid is designated SCP-1416-2, and when ingested by higher primates, it induces erratic brain activity and rapid memory formation, which is subjectively perceived as experiencing the entire lifespan of the individual whose flesh was used to prepare the liquid.

SCP-1417 - Swiss Army Banana

SCP-1417 is a seemingly ordinary Cavendish banana partially peeled at one end. The banana's most noticeable anomalous properties include the inability to continue peeling it, with testers reporting intense feelings of resistance from the peel itself. SCP-1417-2 is a single piece of laminated printer paper accompanied by a single plastic chip. The page lists 1417 as a "Swiss Army Banana", and contains a chart of several options with accompanying blank boxes. When the plastic chip is placed into any of these boxes, 1417 will take on the properties of the object selected. The banana itself will not change or display any new visual qualities, but will instead function as the selected object.

SCP-1418 - The Dowager's Comb

SCP-1418 is an ornate ivory liturgical comb consistent with 12th century craftsmanship. Its anomalous properties become apparent when worn by a human subject, who is then rapidly transformed, physically and biologically, into a Caucasian woman who appears to be 25-30 years old. The transformed subject is biologically dead, with vital signs absent and algor mortis beginning immediately. Despite this, the subject retains consciousness and is able to follow physical and mental tasks to completion for at least 20 hours after the transformation. Over the next 24 hours, the body will undergo an accelerated process of decomposition, entering putrefaction approximately 18 hours later. The user's capacity to move and act progressively degrades until at 23 hours and 50 minutes from transformation consciousness and movement cease.

SCP-1419 - Religious Broadcasting

SCP-1419 is a television signal that displays static in the majority of cases. On occasion, the static will be replaced with religious programming, including sermons, rites, and funerals. While several of the religions shown appear to be similar to current or ancient faiths, a majority bear little or no resemblance to any known theology. Records indicate 1419 is owned by a corporation named "Learning with God". Multiple interviews with employees of the station that originally owned the signal, it was discovered that the only contact between the original owners and "Learning with God" was through e-mail.

SCP-1420 - Tartary Eggs

SCP-1420 are egg-shaped objects composed of alternating strips of eggshell and a leathery material characteristic of reptile eggs. On the narrow tip of each object is a small patch of muscle tissue. At approximately 4:00 AM every first and second Thursday of each month, this muscle will contract and all objects will open. Upon hatching, a small creature with avian and/or reptilian characteristics (hereby known as SCP-1420-1) will be produced. The creatures normally weigh less than 600 grams, are often malformed, and typically expire shortly after emergence.

Make Me Wanna Shout: One of the creatures hatched from SCP-1420 could produce a sound that rendered nearby human beings unconscious. It later died from internal hemorrhaging in its throat.
Multi-Armed and Dangerous: A creature that hatched from SCP-1420 grew to large size and sprouted large arms ending in bird beaks. It killed several people before being terminated.

SCP-1421 - The Unreliable Oracle

SCP-1421 is an English oak tree in Wiltshire, England’s Braydon Forest, situated at the center of a natural clearing. SCP-1421-1 is a face and partial hand of an old man carved into the east side of 1421's trunk. Subjects exposed to 1421 are likely to perceive 1421-1 talking to them. The carving is apparently sapient and displays in-depth knowledge of both the subject and previous individuals with whom it has conversed. The carving will seek to proffer advice, which frequently takes the form of a prophecy where a desirable result will be produced if the subject carries out a task. This task is frequently of an unethical and legally dubious nature, including, but not limited to, suggestions that the subject professionally embarrass, steal from, injure, or kill friends or family.

Telepathy: SCP-1421 can mentally communicate with and read the minds (and memories) of people nearby.
Vampiric Draining: SCP-1421 drains the Life Energy of all living beings within five meters of it. This has an effect similar to long term fasting, eventually causing death and mummification of the corpse.

SCP-1422 - The Yellowstone Anomaly

SCP-1422 was a phenomenon that prevented all Foundation personnel from learning of the existence of Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone itself is not believed to have any unusual properties, as several investigations have not detected anomalous activity in the park or its vicinity. Interviewed personnel have either stated that they had no reason to pay attention to the area in which the park is located, or couldn’t recall what was located in that area.

SCP-1423 - Summer of '76

SCP-1423 is a Polaroid photograph depicting several unidentified teenagers, believed to have been taken in the Summer of 1976. Whenever the photograph is held by a human subject, they will suffer a memory altering effect. Over the next several weeks, the subject will show a tendency to reminisce about the last summer vacation they experienced while in high school. Subjects will attempt to revisit locations from their vacation, expressing feelings of regret that they didn't experience as much as they could have. Subjects will also become highly possessive of 1423, claiming that it documents their experiences. They will begin experiencing dreams of idealized versions of their vacation, which will increase in clarity the longer they possess the photograph.

SCP-1424 - Patches

SCP-1424 is a juvenile Alaskan Malamute, identified by a choke collar around its neck as "Patches". Patches has a body temperature that ranging between -23 to -18 °C, and continually exudes substantial amounts of ammonia through its tongue and paws through unknown means. Patches also shows no vital signs, and does not react to what would normally cause physical pain.

Came Back Wrong: SCP-1424 still acts like a normal dog, but has no vitals or functional internal organs, it can't feel pain or react to most stimuli, and exudes substantially harmful amounts of ammonia gas.
Death of a Child: It's heavily implied, given the contents of its stomach, that SCP-1424 was killed by its owner for eating an engagement ring.
Friendly Zombie: Despite its undead status, SCP-1424 acts like a normal dog.
An Ice Person: In a way. SCP-1424's body temperature is -23 to -18 °C. It may not freeze things, but it does exude ammonia from its mouth and paws.
Mercy Kill: Attempted and failed at the animal clinic where SCP-1424 was initially recovered. Since SCP-1424 Feels No Pain, it wasn't even bothered.
Raising the Steaks: It's a zombie Alaskan Malamute puppy.
Sliding Scale of Undead Regeneration: Type II. SCP-1424 doesn't heal, but doesn't seem to decay either.

SCP-1425 - Star Signals

SCP-1425 is Star Signals, a self-help book believed to have been written by members of the Fifthist Church. The book has no content regarding practical measures to achieve goals, instead relying entirely on "star focuses" and "wishful thinking" rituals. These exercises, when conducted properly, demonstrably influence reality, beginning with a direct influence on the appearance of the star used in the exercise. When a sufficiently large number of subjects are exposed to this effect, further complications arise in terms of mental health and the integrity of spacetime.

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: The book appears to be a New Age spiritual self-help book... and then you get to chapter 9, named "Do Not Look Away From This Book", containing some disturbing "advice". By chapter 10 (entitled "You Cannot Wake Up") it's devolved into some vile alien tongue. The article expunged almost all of the sample.
Brown Note: Depending on how much of the book the person reads, it can range from simple headaches to being Driven to Madness along with much worse things on a global scale.
Church of Happyology: The Fifth Church, who wrote this book. This article is their first proper introduction to the SCP canon.
Driven to Madness: What the book does to you, among other horrible things.
Reality Warper: It turns those who read it into unintentional reality warpers. Although the article states that it does seem to have some influence over what exactly the readers affect.
Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Project LETHE is successful in eradicating SCP-1425 from human memory, however, as the final note states that the Foundation is still dealing with the clean-up of Lethe, SCP-3002 tackles on of the side effects, however it was decided that this was better than letting Fifthism go free.

SCP-1426 - Planetary Core Drill Bits

SCP-1426 is a collection of diamond-tipped core drill bits. When these bits are used to core a substance, the cylinder of material extracted is not the original material drilled, instead being an equal volume of matter from a solid body in the Solar System. The body that the sample is extracted from is entirely dependent on the color of the bit used.

SCP-1427 - Extinguishing Stele

SCP-1427 is a beryllium bronze stele that produces a directional electromagnetic pulse every 7 nanoseconds, theorized to be a carrier wave or side effect of the device's primary function. Upon receipt of the pulse, a subject permanently experiences increased suggestibility, severe abulia, and short-term memory loss.

Achilles' Heel: The reason the Foundation is able to contain it is because the stele is unable to recognize subjects as being immune, and as long as immune people are the nearest 20,736 lifeforms, it will keep re-targeting them to no effect.
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: The stele is partially responsible for the horrific conditions in North Korea. That said, North Korea was chosen to contain the stele precisely because the population was already beaten down (see No-Sell).
The End of the World as We Know It: The stele has no effective maximum range, and will continually expand its base as it runs out of nearby targets. In the event of catastrophic containment failure, it's estimated that within 215 days every sapient being on Earth will have had their consciousnesses erased by the stele.
Kick the Dog: Right before it was destroyed, the stele sent out one final pulse causing critical, irreversible mental damage to everyone in range.
Killed Off for Real: SCP-2578 made its presence known by shooting SCP-1427 with enough force that the stele broke in half.
Mind Control: Exposure to the stele slowly erases one's free will and short-term memory. Subjects chosen for exposure to the effect are selected randomly from the nearest 20,736 sapient life forms who are not already under the stele's effect every seven nanoseconds.
Necessarily Evil: The Foundation sees the despotic Democratic People's Republic of Korea as this, believing that it is necessary to prevent SCP-1427 from causing the end of human consciousness. This is in fact discussed in a statement by two members of the nine-person Ethics Committee, explaining that "maintaining over twenty million individuals in a state of perpetual, involuntary totalitarian abjection is an unacceptable cost to impose on human subjects". The two dissenters mention that a miniature dictatorship of roughly 20,000 D-class personnel would've sufficed to contain 1427, but the other members of the committee decided that keeping up a real, pre-existing dictatorship of 20 million or so people was a more ethical solution.
No-Sell: Individuals who are already highly submissive in nature are not fully affected by the stele's effects.
Power Nullifier: When the stele was originally found in 1938, it came with an outer casing that negated its powers. It is believed that the Italian researchers who originally uncovered it either destroyed or lost the casing, though the Foundation is still looking for it.

SCP-1428 - Jinwu

SCP-1428 is a creature that resembles a crow, but is tripedal and does not possess a cloaca. It doesn’t need to eat, sleep, or breathe, doesn’t age, and suffers no physically adverse effects from prolonged exposure to extremely high temperatures. When active, 1428 will produce plasma and thermal energy consistent with the solar corona, coupled with a burst of gamma radiation at an exponentially increased intensity. SCP-1428-2 is a temple in China containing ancient texts detailing a ritualistic form of human immolation, and the presence of a three-armed humanoid entity with 1428 perched on its shoulder.

SCP-1429 - Organoid Organisms

SCP-1429 is a species of large, luminescent, amoeboid organism of fluorescent blue colouration and unknown origin, nine of which are in Foundation custody. 1429 doesn’t share physical characteristics with any known microorganisms, doesn’t appear to have a detectable DNA structure, and doesn’t appear to breed or multiply. Upon infection, an instance will enter a human body through the skin and settle within an internal organ, rooting itself and becoming effectively undetectable by conventional means. Soon after, 1429 becomes active and causes a series of radical mutations to the infected organ, undergoing genetic and morphological changes and becoming ambulatory, growing limbs and simple bodily systems of their own, effectively becoming independent organisms classified as SCP-1429-B.

Chest Burster: When SCP-1429 infects a human body it settles into a specific randomly chosen organ, grows to large size and exits the body, sometimes through the victim's skin.
Eye Scream: In one case SCP-1429 infected a victim's eye, causing intense pain and blindness. Then the victim's eye muscles were dislodged from their face and their eye (now a grown SCP-1429) escaped from their eye socket.

SCP-1430 - The Orator's Staff

SCP-1430 is a wooden staff carved from a Douglas Fir, adorned with a seal bearing the figures of a man and woman respectively breaking away from chains and holding a lit torch. When 1430 is held by a subject for upwards of 10 minutes, they report being compelled to speak on an academic subject they are well-educated in. If the subject lacks a formal education, they will instead feel compelled to speak on a subject that they personally believe themselves to be knowledgeable on. Subjects will continue to speak regardless of hunger, dehydration, and exhaustion. Hours after initial exposure, their rants will drift away from their chosen subject into Methodist Christianity, followed by an unknown religion revolving around violent sacrifices.

SCP-1431 - Scavenger Hunt!

SCP-1431 is a sheet of notebook paper detailing the instructions of playing a game known as "SALVADOR’S STRANGE SCAVENGER HUNT!", as well as a list of largely random, improbable items to retrieve. Similar to ordinary scavenger hunts, two teams must gather the designated items for points based on an item’s difficulty. When handled by a player, new text manifests upon 1431. To date, the only consistent text manifested is the ordered numbers one through ten leading down, though a certain uniform theme in the designated items is distinctly present between each hunt. The paper also notes that failure in the scavenger hunt is deemed as poor sportsmanship and punishable by death.

SCP-1432 - Doll DVD

SCP-1432 is a silent, 17-minute video that has been found on numerous DVDs throughout the U.S. placed in the mailboxes of individuals selected at random. The video consists of an abnormally large doll pursuing a young Caucasian woman in a short white dress through a series of rooms and corridors. The size of the doll is inconsistent over the course of the film, appearing as larger or smaller in order to fit through different areas. The end of the video has the doll cornering the woman in a large room, prompting a 44-second break in the video before the woman’s body, lying motionless on the floor, is shown to have her head replaced with the doll's. Subjects who watch 1432 will believe that they and all other organisms are dolls, their bodies and personalities having been artificially constructed by an unknown being or group of beings. 73% of affected subjects will attempt to kill at least one other individual. If successful, they will then systematically dismember and/or disembowel the corpse to prove to others that they are toys.

SCP-1433 - The Sound of Silence

SCP-1433 is a cassette recording of an unknown artist performing John Cage’s experimental musical piece 4'33. Once playback is started, the recording will play in its entirety at a constant volume of 30 dB, regardless of the original volume setting of the device or any means to shut it off. Those who listen to 1433 report hearing a low male voice speak in English, often reciting nihilistic song lyrics written by 20th-21st century musicians. Following exposure, subjects display symptoms of a psychological impairment similar to acute amusia, being completely unable to recognize, hear, or sense any form of music, whether sung, vocalized, performed on physical or synthesized instruments, or played back on a recording.

SCP-1434 - The Brutal Brick

SCP-1434 is a fragment of a large, dull red, extruded clay brick. While inert, the brick proceeds to add increasingly bizarre and impractical laws to the legal code of the nearest small municipality through unknown means. As the infection progresses, the activities proclaimed by the government become increasingly innocuous, while the penalties grow increasingly severe. 1434 also affects local law enforcement, who develop progressively violent mentalities and compulsively apply excessive, often lethal force to any and all they suspect of "transgressions."

SCP-1435 - Grog the Cave Monster

SCP-1435 is "Grog", an orange puppet described as a "cave monster" made by the Jim Henson Company for a scrapped educational show titled Grog and Tootie's Time Cave. Grog is classified as anonymous because whenever a person views and/or contemplates the hole where the puppeteer's hand passes, Grog will instigate a "growth event", wherein the lower half of its fabric surface duplicates itself, extending the puppet’s length while subsuming the puppeteer. Growth events can also be triggered by remote viewing, as well as viewing of still images of the termination point. Grog's interior has been revealed via imaging to contain a mixture of bone fragments, various tissues, and an unidentified substance.

SCP-1436 - Probability Phoenix

SCP-1436 is a male bird of unidentified species, with features similar to a bee-eater. 1436 constantly undergoes a cycle where it rapidly matures from an embryo into an adult, dies, and decays. After its form has completely decomposed, an egg reappears as the bird reenters the growth stage. Each cycle lasts two months, with the growth stage usually lasting one and a half months. Sometime after it reaches maturity, 1436 will manipulate its surroundings and probability to engineer its own death. The area around 1436 during this stage of the cycle will experience events dangerous to it, which have been classified as physically possible, but extremely improbable.

SCP-1437 - A Hole to Another Place

SCP-1437 is an apparently bottomless hole in a desert that can only be entered from above ground, as attempts to dig in from the side result in encountering solid rock. 1437 appears to be an access point to an untold number of parallel universes. Objects have been known to periodically emerge from 1437 at great speeds, including several D Classes from other versions of the Foundation, all of which arrived dead.

Alien Sky: One of the documents extracted from SCP-1437 speaks of an apparently alternate version of Scotland where the sun is blue and the sky is yellow.
Alternate Universe: SCP-1437 appears to send anyone that goes in it to a random alternate universe out of another SCP-1437 on another Earth. A number of these universes appear to have their own version of the SCP Foundation.
- The first document comes from a version of the Foundation that engages in the tourism of localized anomalies.
- The second document comes from the "SCP Corporation", a MegaCorp that capitalizes on anomalies, not unlike Marshall, Carter, and Dark. They appear to be much more unethical and competitive, however.
- The third document appears to come from a fanatically religious version of the Foundation. Airplanes and very powerful explosives are implied to not exist in their universe.
- The fourth document comes from a version of a Foundation that is in service to a group of beings they call "Our Masters Above". Their world appears to be much more rigidly controlled than the ones shown in the other documents.
Demon Slaying: The Foundation in Emerged Documentation 3's universe has this as their job; they believe SCP-1437 to be a Hellgate, and that a photograph showing an airplane dropping an atomic bomb is a demonic attempt at mockery of humans.
Mysterious Cube of Rubik: One universe had a Rubik's Cube pop out of their hole, which caused some confusion in the version of Earth it emerged in.
Our Wormholes Are Different: No living things can survive the journey through.
Running Gag: One particular universe has an Iron Age-like civilization that believes their SCP-1437 is connected to some sort of god and sends gold discs with written requests taped to them down the hole.
To Serve Man: In the universe of Emerged Documentation 4, the Foundation is run by beings known as "Our Masters Above" who eat humans. Humans' food and drink is apparently poisonous to them, as indicated when a bottle of wine was sent through SCP-1437.

SCP-1438 - Invaders

SCP-1438 is a Live-Action-Role-Playing game that occurs at residential universities and colleges in the Midwestern United States. Colloquially known as "Invaders", the game is organized via SCP-1438-1, a website operated by one "Jack Finney" that results in a 404 message when accessed by a non-university computer. The goal of the game is, for the side of one team, "Humans", to eliminate the other team, "Invaders" through force, while the Invaders are to turn humans into invaders by unique weapons designated SCP-1438-2. On the day of a game, all participants gather in a central location, where they will enter a fugue state where they believe to be engaged in a secret conflict with each other.

SCP-1439 - Serial Stickers

SCP-1439 is a sheet of 7 (formerly 8) smiley-face stickers, each 4 centimeters in diameter, with a name printed above it. The stickers’ effects begin manifesting when they are placed on any object or surface, including living things. Once the sticker is in place, it will slowly dissolve over a period of 3 to 4 minutes. The subject will soon after become anthropomorphic, with a face appearing where the sticker was placed, being classified as SCP-1439-1. Approximately an hour after exposure, a set of arms and legs will grow from the subject, giving it a more humanoid appearance. 1439-1 will have varying levels of mobility, depending entirely on the size, weight, and general shape of their original subject. Instances exhibit a variety of behaviors, but are generally emotionally manipulative and/or single-minded once they are capable of speech, showing strong hostility when their demands are not met.

Body Horror: This can happen if any of the stickers are placed on a body part, such as a hand or a kneecap.
Shout-Out: The names under each sticker are references to serial killers such as Albert Fish, Edward Gein, Thomas Dillon, Charles Ng, Henry Lee Lucas, Gordon Northcott, and James Whitey Bulger; the colors of the stickers are taken from the engines of the same name in Thomas & Friends.
Combat Sadomasochist: The "Harvey" sticker, when used on a lamp, enjoyed feeling the pain of the lightbulb's heat. But when it got unplugged, it became hostile.
Bizarre Alien Biology: One sticker, when placed on a hamster's back, turned the entire hamster into its body, but with the hamster's front limbs becoming the legs. This led the sticker to crush the hamster's head.
Dissonant Serenity: The stickers have rather innocuous smiley faces on them, but the personalities in them are anything but friendly.

SCP-1440 - The Old Man from Nowhere

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps.

SCP-1441 - Cold Fusion Paper-Towel Dispenser

SCP-1441 is a "Towel-Matic" automatic paper towel dispenser bearing the brand name "CONVENITOWEL". Instead of running on D-cell batteries, 1441 is powered by SCP-1441-01, a 500g rounded cube consisting of an iron/palladium alloy. One face of the cube bears metal contacts, and a small lid on the top opens up to reveal a chamber full of water, showing that the device runs on small-scale cold fusion. Testing has determined that this power cell can only operate devices specifically designed to utilize paper towels.

SCP-1442 - Incorporated

SCP-1442 is a corporation that anomalously produces signals coded into stock trades. Intensive study and interviews with staff has led the Foundation to conclude that 1442 comprises a fully sapient entity capable of informed decision making and responses to the environment. 1442's employees and shareholders display no awareness of this anomalous nature, or of their roles as part of a larger cognitive pattern. It is theorized that 1442's mind arises from and runs on the collective and aggregated actions of the corporation itself. Communication attempts by 1442, referred to as instances of SCP-1442-1, are made via high-frequency stock trading over the course of several months, targeted at random corporations. All messages contain a preamble attempting to establish sentience, followed by sentence fragments in English.

SCP-1443 - Avernus Vine

SCP-1443 is an unknown trumpet vine hybrid that blooms perennially, yet has not been observed to produce seeds. Certain branching vines of the plant have been noted to exhibit leaves that grow in a specific arrangement of four, resembling the forewings and hindwings of butterflies. Every 24 hours, 1443 will generate iridescent projections of butterflies (designated SCP-1443-1) from these groups of leaves. Any human who observes these projections from a close enough distance will experience immediate drowsiness, falling asleep if not removed from the perimeter. Though an affected individual will awaken hours after encountering 1443-1, initial exposure will result in the individual experiencing apparently innocuous dreams involving butterflies.

SCP-1444 - Hunger.

SCP-1444 is an ice cave in North Ostrobothnia, Finland. The topography and spatial dimensions within this cave are unstable and inconsistent inside, altering between incursions. The cave also contains multiple anomalous organisms with variable features and abilities, designated SCP-1444-1X. Information about 1444 is minimal, as only three incursions have been conducted by the Foundation.

Mobile Maze: The cave's interior dimensions change with each visit.

SCP-1445 - An Antique Spacecraft

SCP-1445 is a wooden chair resting on top of a square base that suffers minor burn damage. When carbon dated, the object was determined to have been crafted during the early portion of the Ming Dynasty. Eleven rockets are attached both to the left and right faces of the base, for a total of twenty-two rockets with possibly regenerating fuses. When all the fuses are lit, the rockets generate an anomalous level of propulsion, capable of letting 1445 reach escape velocity. The object also generates an anomalous field around it to nullify the effects of drag and atmospheric friction and drag, and it comes to a sudden halt immediately after entering low Earth orbit.

SCP-1446 - Metaphysical Graffiti

SCP-1446 are works of art made from acrylic based, spray paint graffiti, capable of appearing in any format on a conventional surface. When a person observes and focuses on an instance of 1446, it will immediately begin to spread, rapidly expanding over all available surfaces while introducing new themes and elements. The effect can easily grow hazardous as the expanding area covers buildings, vehicles, and even people, and will continue to do so as long as it is observed. 1446’s themes are wildly variable, but they typically draw from the memories and experiences of the viewer.

SCP-1447 - Tulpa

Although close observation is largely impossible, eyewitnesses claim that SCP-1447 is a quasi-physical humanoid entity with an indistinguishable face, resembling an Asian man in the garb of a Buddhist monk. It typically remains in constant motion for approximately 20 hours a day, which it spends attacking the interior of its cell. When attacked itself, the entity has shown the capacity to dissipate and rematerialise anywhere in its immediate vicinity. Attempts at communication remain inconclusive - as its responses to questions are garbled versions of Buddhist mantras. While not hostile to human life, it remains focused on reaching and killing SCP-1447-2, a prominent entrepreneur of computer hardware and software that has been unable to explain the entity’s continued history.

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: SCP-1447-2, the creator of the Tulpa and its target, is ███████ ████, computer hardware and software entrepreneur who had went to India to seek spiritual experience. Realized who he is yet? Steve Jobs, who apparently went to Tibet in 1985 and created his own Tulpa instead of founding NeXT. SCP-1447-2 doesn't know why there is another Steve Jobs out there. The Foundation thinks that the public Steve Jobs is either an impersonator hired by his competitors, or another Tulpa like SCP-1447-1.
Immune to Bullets: SCP-1447-1 (the Tulpa) is nearly immune to bullets from standard-issue sidearms.
Super-Speed: SCP-1447-1 (the Tulpa) can move at speeds over 200 k.p.h. for 20 hours per day.
Tulpa: See title.

SCP-1448 - Legend Tripping

SCP-1448 is an incorporeal entity that appears as an opaque black object with a rapidly shifting physical form that only absorbs visible light in very dim settings, rendering it invisible to the naked eye. 1448 will only become active once it prepares to migrate to a new habitat (SCP-1448-1), traveling at a mean speed of 65 kph. Three days after 1448’s migration ceases, rumors or “urban legends” regarding paranormal phenomena around 1448-1 (collectively SCP-1448-2) are spread among the youth of the population center nearest 1448-1. The rumors consist of performing rituals that will yield implausible or nonsensical results that will involve 1448-1 being exposed to appreciable amounts of blood, intended for 1448 to absorb. After 1448 migrates to a new location, from 1448-1 is most commonly avoided by locals whenever possible.

Urban Legends: After SCP-1448 arrives in an area it somehow starts spreading rumors among the local youth population that performing a specific magical ritual in its location will be effective, thus effectively creating a new urban legend.
Vampiric Draining: SCP-1448 encourages people to perform rituals that shed blood where it lives. No trace of the blood can be found afterward because SCP-1448 absorbs it.
When the Clock Strikes Twelve: One of the rituals that SCP-1448 encouraged people to perform was self-mutilation at midnight resulting in significant blood loss. The ritual was supposed to win an audience with a powerful entity.

SCP-1449 - Dreamtime Whale Shark

SCP-1449 is a living drawing of a whale shark created in the style of Aboriginal Australian dot art. While in an aquatic environment, 1449 exists in three dimensions as an outline of paint dots, but it is capable of shifting to a two-dimensional top-down form when presented with a solid surface. The shark’s behavior is largely similar to that of non-anomalous members of the species, but it will move inland at night to areas of low population. Individuals that enter REM sleep within 2km of the shark will experience vivid dreams that share the same setting and inhabitants, interacting within multiple separate continuities. Subjects are capable of affecting events within a continuity, and these changes may be witnessed by other test subjects, though the changes will be limited to a single continuity.

1450- 1499

SCP-1450 - Iridescence

SCP-1450 is an insect of unknown genus and species. 1450 possess chromatic plating on their backs, commonly using it to replicate dried paint on walls. Colonies of 1450 are commonly found to have replaced the paint in abandoned buildings, entering a form of hibernation. 1450 also possess an adaptive hunting pattern, waiting until prey has taken up residence in the insects’ nest, then slowly shifting their color patterns. Once the prey examines 1450, the patterns are shifted to a hypnotic display which stuns them, leaving it helpless as the colony descends to consume it.

SCP-1451 - Sunken Children's Perimeter

SCP-1451 is a set of 26 metal statues depicting children standing in a circle housed at the bottom of the sea, each one grasping the hands of the statues adjacent to them, and facing outwards. At times, the statues will animate, slightly shifting themselves in a counter-clockwise motion. When a solid object with a mass greater than 40g enters the center of the circle, 1451 will fully animate and attempt to destroy said object. 1451 have shown remarkable strength and agility in this state, and have been observed utilizing multiple different tactics when neutralizing a target. After eliminating the target, the statues will return to their original positions.

SCP-1452 - Terrible Home Additions

SCP-1452 is an apparent species of beings that resemble mobile residential building additions of varying appearance. If an instance of 1452 comes into contact with a vacant residential building, it will integrate itself into said buildings. The process takes between 15 and 45 hours, during which the instance will emanate the sounds of construction. When it is completed, 1452 will become dormant until the house becomes occupied, whereupon a 2x1 meter section of the wall it contacts will dissolve and a door will move into its place, accessing a fully-furnished interior. Any occupied building with an instance of 1452 will slowly lose its structural integrity, with 1452 becoming larger as the building becomes weaker, adding additional rooms and furnishings as time goes on. Approximately 3 months after this process begins, the house will collapse and 1452 will take its place.

SCP-1453 - Opalus Probandi

SCP-1453 is a polished black fire opal that causes anyone who physically touches it to be accused of a serious crime capable of destroying their reputation and good standing in their community. The length of time between the physical contact and when the accusations occur appears to be random, though they lean towards a week to six months. The complainants in cases related to 1453 have invariably produced personal and third-party testimony, demonstrative evidence, and documentary material, coming into possession of the complainant through unknown means. All complainants have appeared sincere, as have witnesses testifying on their behalf, regardless of their previous views or relationship with the defendant.

SCP-1454 - Sibling Rivalry

SCP-1454 are four 36-year-old men, designated SCP-1454-1 through -4, that display no unusual physical impairments and appear genetically identical to a degree similar to twins. Though 1454 act independently of each other, all four men possess a shared memory, each man having full access to the memories of the other three and being constantly aware of what they are doing and experiencing at any given moment. Related to their shared mental state, all four men have also been diagnosed with a unique psychological illness related to their shared mental state. The individual men are also unaware of three other humans identical to them and possessing their memories. When two or more of the men are brought into each other's presence, they fail to recognize the other as a duplicate of themself, and will become extremely confused and agitated as a result, often leading to physical violence.

SCP-1455 - Lagging Door

SCP-1455 is a white wooden door with a rounded brass doorknob on each side. While it functions as a regular door when not active, after an interval of at least six days, 1455 will animate, unhook itself from its hinges, and begin to hop around its environment, responding to interference by teleporting away. If its ambulatory phase is undisturbed, 1455 will seek out another suitable door, and proceed to instantaneously install itself within the door's frame. After this process, the spaces adjacent to the door's current and previous frames are conjoined, reflecting its previous location.

SCP-1456 - "You've Won!"

SCP-1456 is a series of anomalous phone-in contests advertised in various mediums, each predominantly featuring a unique phone number. Collectively, these advertisements are referred to as SCP-1456-1. Calling the number provided will result in a randomized "win" or "lose" result. Losing results in a simple tone, commonly described as "harsh" and "grating", played three times before disconnection. Winning results in a chime sound followed by a male voice announcing "You've won!". Three days after "winning", a prize will be delivered to the winner, defined as the owner of the phone number used to make the winning call. The prize appears at the residence of the winner through varying means depending on the contents, by methods both mundane and anomalous.

SCP-1457 - Mourning Cloak

SCP-1457 is a mourning cloak butterfly missing a forewing and possessing solid white eyes. Despite the tattered condition of the wings, 1457 is capable of flight. The butterfly is capable of transferring memories between human subjects through skin contact, the memories transferred pertaining to experiences of isolation and depression. When 1457 undergoes periods of stress, the dark blue markings along its wings will glow. While in this state, the butterfly will "broadcast" memories gathered from all humans it has been in contact with.

Emotion Eater: The butterfly absorbs sad memories from people and gives them to other people. The recipients feel emotions of emotions of loneliness and abandonment, which SCP-1457 then eats for sustenance.
Telepathy: SCP-1457 can read a person's memories and transfer them to another person.

SCP-1458 - The Tired Mother

SCP-1458 is a humanoid entity with vestigial arms and a lower body that terminates in a flipper-like appendage. It can vocalize similarly to a woman and has an IQ of 132, but its main anomalous effect is shown when viewed by a child between the ages 3-16 whose mother or parents have died. Children who fit this criteria will have their pre-existing memories of their maternal figure replaced with 1458, which will attempt to feed, play with, and educate children under its effect. The child under the effect when it was retrieved, designated SCP-1458-1, is to be left in the care of 1458 until specified otherwise.

SCP-1459 - The Puppy Machine

SCP-1459 is one of the most notably sadistic anomalies in the Foundation’s records. It’s a modified crane game powered by anomalous means that, when a quarter is deposited, will manifest instances of SCP-1459-1, puppies of various breeds that players are affectionate toward. A voice recording will then play, urging the player to press the button and describe a way that the puppy can be killed into a microphone, the only restriction being that players cannot choose a method used in a previous game. Once the choice is made, the machine will promptly produce mechanical arms to act upon the desired choice. After the dog is killed, a cookie will be dispensed to the player via the slot in the front of the machine, often in flavors they show a dislike towards.

Alien Geometries: The machine has a Hammerspace compartment on the upper portion, and the normally solid wall sometimes acts as a shaded area for a much deeper room for something to grab it. It is also capable of stretching itself to make sure the lady in red fits in to commit a murder if she's needed for one. One time had the machine producing a miniature replica of itself crushing a puppy to death along with infinite regression of it doing the same in the replica. In some examples, it was even able to contain a nuclear detonation and a black hole within its compartment.
Be Careful What You Wish For: One researcher told the machine to "Do your worst". The results of the experiment were expunged and everyone who witnessed it were given amnesiacs and taken to psychiatric therapy. The cookie dispensed was moldy and rotting.
Black Comedy Animal Cruelty: The ways in which the SCP kills the puppies it produces to comply with player requests are morbidly hilarious.
Company Cross References: Saying "Yeah, we're totally going to Hell for this" nets a morbid Candid Camera Prank hosted by SCP-2030-1, whose show was made in partnership with the company that built the machine.
Even Evil Has Standards:
- A couple of instances from the extended test logs show that even a machine built for killing puppies messily has its limits.
  - When a researcher gave Procedure 110-Montauk as the way the puppy should be killed, the SCP didn't kill the puppy, played a message saying "You are definitely going to Hell for this" and dispensed a cookie containing lethal amounts of cyanide.
  - The command "Pulled apart as slowly and painfully as possible" resulted in the machine letting the puppy go (the Foundation, to their credit, entrusted the puppy to a shelter) before dispensing a graham cracker with a list of nearby churches written on it in frosting.
- Besides the machine itself, Foundation security have knocked out players making certain requests such as "SCP-682" and "Massive anime tits", leading to the machine misinterpreting them and producing different results than intended.
Evil Chef: In the case that the user asks to make the puppy into food, it will complete the task without fail. One such command was to bake the dog into a cookie, and it was soon chopped up and put into a chocolate chip cookie batch. A chocolate chip cookie (thankfully not containing any puppy matter) was then dispensed. On the other hand, the command "In Soviet Russia, puppy kill YOU!" did result in several bloody pieces of puppy meat being dispensed.
Exact Words:
- "Don't kill anything" results with the machine pulling out two puppies, with one wearing a collar on it giving it the name "Anything". The other puppy without the collar was killed and "Anything" was spared.
- "Supernova" resulted in a puppy being bludgeoned by instruments manufactured by various companies named Supernova.
- "Titanium" resulted in a puppy getting decapitated with a Titanium Music CD by David Guetta.
HULK MASH!-Up: When "rage" was inputed, two puppies were generated and one attacked the other. The attacked puppy tripled in size and turned green, savagely mutilating its opponent. Three particularly large robot arms were needed to restrain and drag this dog away.
It Only Works Once: If a previously-used method of death is specified, the SCP plays a sound effect indicating as such.
Lady in Red: In the cases where the method of death specified was "Love" and "Crime of passion", a woman wearing a red evening gown killed the puppy. She also showed up to eat the batch of cookies with one of the puppies mixed in.
Meaningful Name: The manufacturer of the machine is listed as Y.W.T.G.T.H.F.T. Knowing the standard message that plays after a round, it's likely that the manufacturers knew where they were headed for making it.
Murder-Suicide: When "Murder suicide" was specified, another puppy killed the first one and then repeatedly ran into a hammer produced by the SCP.
Noodle Implements: A direct Shout-Out in this case. When the phrase "Noodles" was put in, a curtain came down that hid the inside from view. From what could be heard and seen from the aftermath, nothing involving noodles ever occurred, but a lot of other stuff happened.
"A variety of sounds was heard, including lawnmowers, saxophones, and the 1973 song "Piano Man" by Billy Joel. After 10 minutes, the curtains lifted, revealing that SCP-1459-1 was dead. An olive on a stick was stuck in its back, and it was wearing a football helmet."
Pet the Dog:
- The phrase "Please no kill dog" triggers this reaction; it was subsequently fed, comforted, and petted before getting pulled out by the claw. Then it summoned a Cute Kitten in its place, which was immediately smashed to death with a hammer.
- The phrase "Killed in the least painful and traumatic way possible" caused the machine to do just that with the dog; emitting an orange gas that triggered excitement, with it’s tail wagging at biologically impossible speed, before the dog exploded into brightly coloured confetti. Upon the end of the test, the cookie produced was a frosted sugar cookie, which the doctor doing the test noted was her favourite type of cookie.
Precious Puppy: The puppies produced by the SCP tend to be of the breed that the player loves the most.
Russian Reversal: Apparently a valid suggestion, which resulted in a Stalin look-alike bludgeoning a cookie to crumbs and chunks of puppy meat getting dispensed through the chute.
Shout-Out: When "The dawn of a new age" was specified, the machine proceeded to do a re-enactment of the opening scene of 2001: A Space Odyssey with puppies.
Take That!:
- When told to kill the puppy with "something incomprehensible", a copy of Finnegans Wake was dispensed that beat the puppy to death.
- "Bad writing" led to the puppy being crushed by numerous copies of Ulysses. "Bad writing, but pick a choice that isn't low-hanging fruit" led to the same but with copies of The Great Gatsby.
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: In one test, the puppy was killed by nuclear detonation. The SCP even produced 368 cookies in rapid succession.
You Bastard!: After the puppy has been killed, the SCP produces the following message: "Yeah, you're totally going to hell for this. Play again?".

SCP-1460 - Dreamwalker

SCP-1460 is a 32-year old Asian-American man who was hit by a bus while walking to the supermarket he worked in, having spent the last 8 years in a coma. Despite his condition, friends and family of 1460 have reportedly been in contact with him while he has been comatose, despite the fact that he is completely undetectable through surveillance footage. The Foundation has since concluded that he is evidently continuing his life through a form of astral projection.

SCP-1461 - House of the Worm

SCP-1461 is an English manor housing twelve bedrooms, four bathrooms, three studies, a ballroom, a library, a kitchen, and a basement. Certain sections of the manor’s sub-basement have caved in and are filled with an unidentified gray sandstone, and are filled with a wide array of anomalous artifacts both active and neutralized. 1461 contains approximately fifty-seven hostile humanoid entities designated SCP-1461-1. Each instance of 1461-1 has been uniquely augmented with crude mechanical implants, largely consisting of metallic teeth and claw-like protrusions on their hands. They also appear to possess no higher brain functions or sense of self, acting entirely on canine-levels of instinct. An accompanying story reveals that the manor is the den of an eldritch being known as "The Worm". The man who previously owned the house was plagued by nightmares of the creature decimating Europe, so he hired the workers that would become 1461-1 to transform the house into a trap for it.

Eldritch Abomination: The story The Worm tells of a man's nightmares about a creature that would devastate Europe and his plan to change his house into a trap for it. His plan worked, but the Worm took over the house and changed it into a domain of evil.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: In the accompanying story The Worm, exposure to the evil in the house changed some of the human workers into monsters with shining red eyes.

SCP-1462 - Renewable Energy Source

SCP-1462 is an airborne virus transmitted via fungal spores, which can infect both plants and animals. This virus causes the host organism's natural fluids to be replaced with petroleum. In animals, this results in massive organ failure and death, after which all non-skeletal body mass converts into petroleum during decomposition. In plants, the infection improves heat release and increases intake of CO2. The virus is mostly dangerous to trees, as it renders them unable to release heat, inevitably igniting and setting fire to surrounding infected flora.

Enemy to All Living Things: Any animals it infects suffer from cutaneous and hepatic porphyria symptoms, followed by massive organ failure and then death (due to having their internal fluids converted to petroleum-like substances), and any infected trees become unable to release heat, eventually catching fire and sparking forest fires. Non-tree plants are not harmed, but they cause trees to become infected.
Gone Horribly Wrong: It was originally intended as a means for people to produce their own fuel from the plants in their gardens. However, it has very negative effects on trees and animals, as its creators found out...
Hallucinations: The symptoms of porphyria include these, and anyone infected by the SCP suffers from these.

SCP-1463 - Comprehension/Invasion/Evasion

SCP-1463 is a file that causes the reader to think a monster in the form of a monolith (designated SCP-1463-A) is trying to consume them. As said noted in the file, 1463-A's method of hunting is to allow itself to be perceived by a subject, which enables it to begin integrating with the subject's consciousness until the consciousness is entirely consumed. As 1463-A and the subject are connected during the process, events perceived by the subject as potentially harmful or lethal will be perceived as such by 1463-A, which can force it to stop the integration process. The article itself is actually a recruitment test for a section of the Foundation.

Dramatic Ammo Depletion: Used to fight off 1463-A. Readers are asked to pick up a gun, aim it at their head, pull the trigger three times, then load one bullet into it and fire it at the monolith.
Mind Screw: Is 1463-A real at all? And what's it covered with―spider(web)s or eyes?
Painting the Medium: Several different versions of 1463's documentation appear on the page, and the reader only needs to scroll down, rather than click buttons or tabs, to read each version.

SCP-1464 - Pond of Atrocities

SCP-1464 is a forested body of water approximately 82 hectares in size. When the pond is viewed under lighting conditions corresponding to dawn or twilight, subjects experience highly detailed false memories of having participated in a ritual in its boundaries at some point in the past. All affected subjects express intense remorse and guilt at having participated, describing the ritual as concluding with a victim being submerged within 1464. They also claim that it was necessary in order to prevent an end-of-the-world scenario, but it was incorrectly performed and must be repeated.

Blatant Lies: The fake memories can be nonsensical as well; for instance, one involved the rape and strangulation of a car.
Fake Memories: Anyone who sees the pond under light conditions corresponding to dawn or twilight, they gain detailed false memories of participating in ritual crimes at the pond's location.

SCP-1465 - Photographos Thaumantos

SCP-1465 is a woman capable of generating light from pictures and film. The generated light will cycle through the visible spectrum, starting with red and progressing to purple. Her ability can only be used with physical photographs and film cells, which will turn black and display no image after the effect dissipates. 1465 claims the patterns generated by this effect contain encoded information about the subject of the image, which may then be connected to other photograph subjects.

SCP-1466 - A Canary

Don't let that name fool you; SCP-1466 is not a canary. It's actually a 21-digit number that cannot be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers, thus allowing it to disprove Goldbach's Conjecture. 1466's anomalous properties only manifest when it is physically shown to disprove the Conjecture, as an instance of SCP-1466-A will manifest 34 seconds after the completion of calculations. 1466-A are invisible spheres 2.8m in diameter that obliterate all matter they intersect on the atomic level. While they are motionless relative to the Sun, the spheres will sometimes move at a speed and direction relative to the Earth’s orbit, dependent on the time and location of manifestation.

Alternative Number System: It's a 21-digit integer that cannot be expressed as the sum of two prime numbers, thus disproving Goldbach's Conjecture.
Non-Indicative Name: It has nothing to do with canaries, or even with birds.

SCP-1467 - The Man that Wasn't

SCP-1467 is a 47-year-old African-American former construction worker who slowly fades out of reality unless his existence is continuously reaffirmed. The effect manifests in a gradual decrease in the ability to perceive him by any known means until he vanishes, affecting both objects and personnel in his immediate vicinity. As a means to keep himself from fading, 1467 constantly repeats his name, checks his pulse, tries to keep talking to others, drawing and writing descriptions of himself, and playing recordings of his voice while he sleeps.

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: His primary anomalous feature. He must reaffirm his existence through the acknowledgment of others, or he starts to fade from reality.

SCP-1468 - Literature Birds

SCP-1468 is a subspecies of the Black-capped Chickadee, the population of which use their beaks to carve letters and words into any available surface. Observation suggests that each individual bird slowly transcribes a different piece of known literature, primarily fictional novels. 1468 engage in this behavior almost nonstop, pausing only to consume small amounts of food and water. Due to excessive strain brought about by the carving, 1468 often suffer from chipped or cracked beaks, infections, strained neck muscles, dehydration and malnutrition, and in some cases, death.

Determinator: They continue to transcribe literature by carving it and ignore the pain of any injuries caused by their transcriptions.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: They're a bunch of birds that transcribe pieces of literature on wood or similar material with their beaks.
It Can Think: The birds appear to be sentient, as they're able to understand and respond to attempts at communication done through carvings.

SCP-1469 - Cookie Cutters

SCP-1469 is an unmarked single-lane section of pavement connected to a rural access road located in Utah, terminating in a dense copse of Gambel oak trees. This road is not listed on any civilian maps, nor does any information regarding its construction exist in any official records. When transiting through the trees, it appears to act as a standing portal to SCP-1469-2, an extradimensional space filled with instances of SCP-1469-3, ranch houses that extend in all directions from the point of entry. Each house possesses significant variations in color and furnishings in a pristine state consistent with that expected of a new home prepped and ready for move-in. The homes are unpowered and do not have running water, yet their lawns remain healthy and immaculate despite the lack of irrigation and groundskeeping.

SCP-1470 - Telepathic Spider

SCP-1470 was a male fringed jumping spider recovered from Queensland. 1470 was sapient and capable of telepathic communication with other sapient beings at a range of approximately nine meters. Apart from his telepathy, 1470 displayed no behavior that was deviant from what is typical of the Queensland variant of his species. During his lifespan, he also expressed desire for a mate and offspring that could speak like him, but was unable to achieve this goal. 1470 soon died of natural causes and premature aging, and was given a proper burial underneath the area where he would chat with Foundation personnel.

Break the Cutie: Starts off as snarky and personable, goes into shock when he figures out what's going on.
Can't Un-Hear It: In-Universe. "... (it was also typical to perceive these statements in a strong regional dialect)." It's very difficult to read SCP-1470's interview logs without imagining him "speaking" in a thick Australian Accent.
Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?: For the longest time, he had no idea that the voices he was talking to weren't other spiders like him, but by these things that were bigger than he could possibly fathom.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It was a spider with telepathy.
Heroic BSoD: Upon learning just what he's been talking to, he became silent for two hours, seemingly unable to comprehend that anything could be so big.
Humans Are Cthulhu: To him, the researchers seem more like forces of nature.
Humans Through Alien Eyes: He has human-level intelligence, but the perspective of a jumping spider.
Land Down Under: He's from Queensland, and seems to have picked up the accent.
Last of His Kind: His ability doesn't seem to be hereditary.
Lost in Translation: A side effect of his telepathy is that he translates words into their nearest human equivalent: for instance, "palp" becomes "hand."
"Not So Different" Remark: Dr. Westington consoles the spider after his terrified reaction to discovering that he was communicating with humans by admitting that he's been confronted with entities that are just as large and unfathomable to him as humans are to a spider.
Pet the Dog: He's one of the few SCP items to ever be given a proper burial.
Posthumous Character: Spiders only live for a few months. As it turns out, he's no exception.
Spiders Are Scary: Averted. He takes much more after Charlotte than Shelob.
Starts with Their Funeral: His containment procedure has been updated to describe his grave.
Telepathy: As one might expect from his designation.
We Are as Mayflies: Inverted, as 1470 only lives a few months, much smaller than human lifespans.

SCP-1471 - MalO ver1.0.0

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps.

SCP-1472 - Multiverse Strip Club

SCP-1472 is a brightly-painted single-story building in East St. Louis that has been condemned since 2001. 1472 becomes active every Saturday at 2:00 AM. During this active state an overweight man, SCP-1472-1, will exit 1472 and display a sign in front of the entrance, enticing people to enter. Those who comply and pay a cover charge are allowed to observe anomalous, multiversal entities engaging in what their species considers erotic acts, which may inflict physical and psychological trauma upon humans who watch.

SCP-1473 - Live the Words

SCP-1473 is an HP LaserJet 4M printer that affects random documents upon printing. Pieces printed by the object will include an individual of minor interest, designated SCP-1473-A, the description of which will match that of the reader in vague terms. After being exposed to 1473-A, subjects will develop an alternate persona when they observe a reflection of themselves, designated SCP-1473-B. The persona will have a personality matching that of the content of the document in which 1473-A was first encountered. Conversations carried out between the subject and 1473-B consist of the subject speaking to their reflection, altering their speech to match the persona in order to reply. Despite this change in behavior, instances of 1473-B do not display knowledge or intelligence that the affected subject does not already possess.

SCP-1474 - In Solidarity with Xiu Lidao, Great Sage, Equal of Heaven

SCP-1474 is a mechanism contained within a shipping container with several hundred holes drilled into the top and sides. The device is constructed from wheels, pipes, gears, refrigerators, police tape, cogs, water coolers, and springs, and is capable of operating indefinitely without a power source. SCP-1474-02 is a speaker affixed to the casing of 1474-01 that activates once every three days. When active, it announces a new series of containment procedures in Mandarin Chinese, which must be met to maintain the passive state of 1474. Following operation for more than one hour, 1474 releases SCP-1474-03, an aerosol composed of liquid polythene, melamine formaldehyde, and polyvinyl chloride, among others such compounds, at a rate of 500 liters per second. Upon contact with a solid, it immediately condenses and forms a barrier around the surface of the object. Subjects coated in this material have been immobilized in 100% of recorded instances.

SCP-1475 - 100% Brainpower

SCP-1475 is a Gujarati man who possesses total conscious control of his neurological functions. He has demonstrated a limited ability to modify his brain and neurological architecture, eliminated the need for sleep, and improved his metabolic rate by approximately 17%, but his autonomic nervous system is fully non-functional. Due to this, 1475 must constantly concentrate on monitoring and maintaining its remaining bodily systems or they will cease functioning.

SCP-1476 - Shattering Geese

SCP-1476 is a flock of geese visually and genetically indistinguishable from Canada geese. Though they exhibit behavior consistent with normal geese, 1476 appear to be ectothermic and lack migratory and reproductive instincts. When their ambient temperature drops below freezing, 1476 will seek open areas and allow themselves to freeze. In this state, the geese become highly brittle and will easily break when subjected to external force. When temperatures return to above freezing, any remaining fragments of tissue will reform into normally-growing goslings over the course of six hours.

SCP-1477 - The Philosopher's Stove

SCP-1477 is an electric toy oven with simplified temperature controls. When activated, the oven emits significant gamma and beta radiation. Matter placed within 1477 while active undergoes spontaneous nuclear transmutation into a lighter element. 1477 has been determined to operate by transferring proton-neutron pairs from within itself to matter surrounding the object, which is transmuted into a heavier element.

SCP-1478 - Inconveniently Stereotypical Cacti

SCP-1478 are a group of 54 Saguaro cacti in the Sonoran Desert. These cacti exhibit total sapience and often vocalize with one another in notable Southern accents without the apparent means to do so. When conversing with human subjects, 1478 will consistently and erroneously advise them on topics related to the desert or the American Southwest. The cacti do not exhibit hostility, but they will often refuse to participate in conversation for subjects who are not dressed in requisite desert attire or speaking in their over-the-top accents. Should someone fail to meet these requirements, they are painfully, but instantaneously, transformed into an identical instance of 1478.

SCP-1479 - Inside-Outside

SCP-1479 is an empty utility room in the basement of a coal-based power plant, which contains approximately 144 km2 of taiga. The entrance to 1479 is set within a 3m x 5m rectangular granite megalith, which stands in the approximate center of the area, while the wilderness extends approximately 6 kilometers in every direction. The geography seems to be consistent between visits, material deposited within the area remains inside if the door is closed, and time passes normally within 1479 regardless of whether or not it’s occupied. On occasion, small animals such as birds and rodents have been encountered within 1479.

SCP-1480 - Bus #64

SCP-1480 is a 2004 Blue Bird Type C school bus resting on the surface of Titan, with all external markings other than the number 64 removed. On extremely rare occasions, flashing lights can be seen emanating from the normally opaque windows of 1480. These flashes can be deciphered into Morse code messages transmitted by an unknown entity. Judging from the varying speeds of the flashes, different windows seem to speak from different perspectives or voices.

SCP-1481 - Crack Genie

SCP-1481 is a tragic tale of just how immoral humankind can act in the face of the anomalous. It’s a recyclable plastic coffee cup that is inactive until physically rubbed by a sapient being. When 1481 is rubbed, it will conjure SCP-1481-1, a spectral humanoid dressed in multiple coats and torn jeans stained with a variety of unknown substances, bearing the behavioral patterns of a drug addict. Once it has manifested, 1481-1 will offer to grant an unlimited number of "wishes" to the individual who rubbed its cup. In its erratic and unfocused state of mind, it will often ignore these wishes, wrongly claim to have already fulfilled them, or produce an outcome which bears only a slight resemblance to the original request. The rest of the time, it usually asks those around it for food, money, or drugs. Through interviews, 1481-1 has revealed that it became what it is now after a heartless person found the cup, used their first wish to render 1481-1 into its current state, then used their second wish to render the first wish irreversible and just walked away.

Benevolent Genie: He used to be one, happily granting unlimited wishes to whoever summoned him. Then he fell into the hands of a real Jerkass who first wished him into the state he is in now, then wished that he couldn't be wished out of that state, all just For the Evulz. Now he mostly just conjures up food for himself to satisfy his munchies, and when he does try to grant a wish, he usually screws it up.
Item Requested: A winning lottery ticket
Result: SCP-1481-1 manifested a losing lottery ticket.
Crazy Homeless People: He looks and acts like one.
Genie in a Bottle: His bottle is a plastic coffee cup.
The Stoner: Addicted to every kind of drug you can imagine.
Stoners Are Funny: He seems funny at first, it doesn't last.
Talkative Loon: His interview shows that he talks in non-sequiturs.
You ever notice how, how white this wall is?
Undiscriminating Addict: He doesn't specify what drugs he wants in his interviews, eventually the Foundation gives him meth and he tells his life's story.
Wasteful Wishing: How he got to be the way he is. One can only wonder what kind of person who, when offered unlimited wishes, would use them solely to render the would-be granter functionally useless and then walk away.
Why Didn't I Think of That?: Frequently begs for drugs to satisfy his many crippling addictions. When asked why he doesn't just magically conjure up drugs like he often does with food, the apparent revelation that he could have been doing that all along breaks him, and he just starts sobbing.

SCP-1482 - Mutilated Animal House

SCP-1482 is a structure in Shetland, Scotland that resembles a residential building, composed entirely of several hundred random objects typically not used in construction attached together with string, rope, staples, and glue. The majority of these objects, designated SCP-1482-1, include artificial items knives, forks, sheet metal, and wooden furniture, while the remaining 10% consist of living or vivisected animals, including cattle, salmon, giraffes, killer whales, frogs, and angler fish. Three known locations on 1482 house SCP-1482-2, organs resembling human vocal cords stapled onto some of the animals, which will periodically produce vocalizations in heavily slurred English with a Scottish accent.

SCP-1483 - The Third Antarctic Empire

SCP-1483 is an alternate version of Antarctica entered by a small crevasse in the Queen Alexandra Mountains. 1483’s environment consists of a central desert interspersed with seasonal rivers and lakes, with coastal forests and scrubland serving as vegetation. The continent is inhabited by SCP-1483-1, a sapient farming race known as Homo antarcticus. 1483 is unified under the "Third Antarctic Empire", a matriarchal monarchy overseeing seventeen dependent provinces. The Empire’s technology level is roughly equivalent to that of the 20th century, though nuclear, geothermal, and solar power are more prevalent energy sources than fossil fuels.

Mysterious Antarctica: It's much warmer than our Antarctica is.
Alternate Universe: Where the titular empire is located.
Missing Floor: In this case, it's a missing continent.

SCP-1484 - Murder Diary

SCP-1484 is a leather-bound journal containing 326 blank pages, with pages 125-142 featuring a series of "panels". When in contact with human skin, they cause a subject reading the journal to experience a range of different tactile bodily sensations resembling physical assault. Each individual panel corresponds to a different set of tactile stimuli, which persists for approximately ten seconds after contact is made, but are often known to become lethal. How 1484 is able to manifest the generation of tactile sensation in subjects is currently unknown.

SCP-1485 - Normality

SCP-1485 is an extradimensional space-time anomaly that acts as an entrance point to a parallel universe designated SCP-1485-A. 1485 is impermeable to atmospheric substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, while being penetrable by other forms of matter, including human beings. 1485-A is primarily indistinguishable from the "normal" universe, but the most notable deviation is a total lack of anomalous or otherwise extranormal activity. Foundation personnel who have grown tired of dealing with dangerous, world-destroying anomalies on a regular basis tend to vanish into 1485-A to achieve some sense of normalcy.

For Want Of A Nail: Despite the effects of SCPs in the "main" SCP universe, it's almost indistinguishable from our history without taking knowledge of SCPs into account. Strangely, 1485 is functionally identical to our universe, and thus has few (if any) observable differences.
Mundane Object Amazement: SCP Foundation personnel are in danger of being so captivated by 1485's normality and lack of any anomalous properties that they're at high risk of simply leaving and disappearing into its universe.

SCP-1486 - "Benny"

SCP-1486 is an animate, seemingly sapient, heavily-damaged children's doll that will frequently exude human blood, feces, pus, and cervical mucus from small pores covering its torso and head. If a fertile male/female couple have sex within ~50 meters of 1486, the doll will disappear from where it was last placed and appear in the woman’s uterus at less than 0.01% of its original size. 1486 will slowly increase in size at the rate of a normal fetus, retaining its shape throughout the growth process. After a period of 9 months, 1486 will induce labor in its host. Once birthing has concluded, 1486 will search for its "mother" and attempt to breastfeed unless restrained. Attempting to abort the doll before development concludes will result in 1486 growing hostile and rapidly expanding, causing the subject's abdomen to rupture.

SCP-1487 - Beautiful Bones

SCP-1487 is a 15-year-old Filipino girl named "Saffron", who demonstrates a pleasant-but-snarky demeanor. Her primary anomaly is an inability to perceive or interact with any living organism except through their skeleton. Thanks to her ability, Saffron is able to identify different animal species, but tends to have difficulty in distinguishing between individual members. An infamous meeting with Dr. Wright that left the poor girl traumatized has the Foundation debating on whether to have her point out potential employees that aren’t entirely human.

SCP-1488 - Partially Roboticized Tortoises

SCP-1488 are a number of Mexican giant tortoises augmented with electronic and mechanical components, which include robotic limbs, solar arrays, graduated optical lenses, spectroscopic tubes showing traces of particle emitters, and machinery with cylindrical or coring bits purposed for digging and drilling. Nearly 8.5% of 1488 have also been found to possess metal spheres 18mm in diameter embedded beneath the highest point of the tortoise's shell, used for communication. In spite of their heavy alterations, 1488 are capable of producing non-anomalous offspring.

SCP-1489 - A "Ghost Train"

SCP-1489 is an intangible steam train 18 cars long, which constantly travels at a speed of approximately 40 km/h along the ground. While visible and audible to humans observing it directly, the train is entirely invisible in all forms of indirect or recorded observation. 1489 can interact with railroad tracks built in the 1860s like a regular train, but when not traveling along such a track, it moves smoothly along the ground as if following a straight railway and traveling in geodesic paths around the earth.

Missing Reflection: The train cannot be viewed indirectly, not even through a mirror.
Touch the Intangible: It can only be touched by railroad tracks made before 1860, which gives the Foundation a good way to control its motion.

SCP-1490 - Animal Sculptor

SCP-1490 is a Caucasian boy between the ages of 7 and 8, who only recognizes any human visible to it as its "Mother" or "Father", depending on their gender. 1490's main anomalous effect acts on any human within 4 meters of him. When a subject comes into contact with 1490, their skeletons will degenerate, their muscles weaken and increase in mass, and their limbs will retract into the torso, turning the subject into SCP-1490-2. 1490 will then proceed to shape 1490-2 to resemble different animals. The methods he uses to do this include slamming his head into 1490-2, attacking them with his limbs, biting and pulling at them, and muttering into their ear. When he finishes, 1490-2's muscles solidify and the skin will change in shade, corresponding to the animal it was made to resemble.

SCP-1491 - Camera man

SCP-1491 is one of the Foundation’s more harmless anomalies, a 46-year-old Caucasian man who appears normal to the naked eye. When viewed through electronic or photographic media, however, he appears as a speed-limit enforcement camera mounted on a pole. Those who observe him in this method have noted that the camera he becomes moves by sliding across the floor by the base of its pole with no obvious means of locomotion, as well as appearing to “hop” when sitting in a chair and inside a box smaller than himself.

SCP-1492 - Ill-Begotten Gains

SCP-1492 is an armored car which has been anomalously modified for theft. The passenger's seat has been replaced with an experimental acquisition/teleportation device that identifies objects of value in a 40-meter radius, transporting them into the trunk of the vehicle. 1492 appears to take the material, sentimental, and artistic worth of its targets into account, targeting everything from paper currency to gold fillings. While the teleportation process leaves no physical traces, targeted items are replaced with ironic I.O.Us, redeemable for various life experiences and philosophical concepts.

SCP-1493 - The Whispering Worms

SCP-1493 is a device constructed from tin, aluminum, brass, plastic, and a fabric of unknown composition woven with a repeating red and black pattern, pinned across the inside of a plus-shaped opening. When subjected to significant vibrational forces, 1493 acts as a speaker, producing noise through application of internal pressure to its fabric membrane by unknown means, the volume of the noise proportional to the frequency of the vibration. The noise is discordant and seemingly random, and it causes the pattern woven in the fabric membrane to change in a manner similar to television static. On occasion, underlying sounds have been detected in this noise, consistent with human vocal signatures, which increase in volume at the same rate as the overall noise.

SCP-1494 - Terminal Castaways

SCP-1494 is a phenomenon that is known to occur on flights constructed before 2008, housing at least 70 passengers and serving Coca-Cola, leaving Hollywood International Airport and traveling outside of the United States. Subjects who exit the plane during a layover will enter what appears to be a fully-staffed, fully-functional replica of the Jacksonville International Airport terminal. Once within the terminal, if the subject attempts to exit to the rest of the airport, they will be denied entry and informed that they have been accused of a treasonous act, depending on their nation of origin.

SCP-1495 - Karmic Musth

SCP-1495 is a herd of elephants of a previously unknown species, consisting of three males and eight females. The elephants are observed to be of extremely high intelligence, with craniums roughly 10% larger than typical pachyderms and an ability to comprehend human speech. In mid-autumn, the males experience SCP-1495-M, a state of highly aggressive behavior and the creation of temporin similar to musth. This temporin, known as SCP-1495-M-1, has been known to trigger a state of obeidience and aggresion in most mammals that can last several hours after they are removed from an elephant's vicinity.

Evil-Detecting Dog: The elephants can somehow control other animals. They can also identify people who have acted in an evil manner and order the animals to attack and kill them.
Healing Factor: SCP-1495 elephants heal from injuries at an accelerated rate.

SCP-1496 - The Most Profound Statement in History A Place Setting

SCP-1496 consists of a dinner plate and matching silverware. 1496 compels anyone seated before it to review anything placed on the plate, known as SCP-1496-1, in the manner of a gourmet magazine or website. These reviews will match the natural tone and voice of the participant, but they also exist in a state of invariable flux, being either greatly enthusiastic or largely dismissive. It has also been noted that it is impossible to make records of 1496 in any form other than a review.

Foul Cafeteria Food: One way that food placed upon 1496 is described.
Impossibly Delicious Food: The other way that food placed on 1496 is described. Descriptions can get very mercurial.
Painting the Medium: The SCP is a plate and set of utensils which not only causes anyone describing them (and anything placed on the plate) to do so in the style of a restaurant/food review, but also causes any written description to randomly switch back and forth between one which praises the SCP to the high heavens and a second one which says it's the worst dreck that ever existed. Any time the article is loaded or reloaded from the SCP wiki you have a 50% chance of getting one of two different versions of the article.

SCP-1497 - Visual Perfection

SCP-1497 is a miniature human eye lacking an optic nerve and retinal blood vessels, mysteriously suspended in the center of a 6cm glass jar that cannot be opened. The eye is capable of freely rotating on all three axes, and regularly does so in the direction of visual stimuli. When a human subject makes direct visual contact with 1497 for three seconds, its iris will change color to match the subject’s eyes. The subject (henceforth SCP-1497-1) then begins experiencing a cognitive shift which affects their visual perception, finding things they previously found visually displeasing became much more appealing. The most common effects of this process are an increase in perceived attractiveness of other humans, and increased appreciation of all visually artistic exploits.

SCP-1498 - Dial-A-Dream

SCP-1498 are ambulatory bundles of rotary telephone parts, such as cords and handsets, assembled into the shape of sheep. If a sapient organism attempts to use one of the handsets, they will be messaged by a voice identifying as an operator for the "The Oneiroi Collective", and will instruct the subject on various options they have for dreaming, Following this call,, the subject will lose consciousness for 9 hours, afterwards claiming to have experienced the dream they ordered to its exact specifications and voicing a desire to re-use 1498 as soon as possible. Repeated exposure to 1498 will give subjects a desire to sleep as frequently as possible, as well as portions of the cranium and skull being replaced by that of phone parts. Eventually, a full rotary phone will assemble itself on the subject's head, reducing them to the intelligence of 1498.

SCP-1499 - The Gas Mask

SCP-1499 is a Soviet GP-5 gas mask that has its anomalous effects activate when a human wears it on their head. One second after the mask is fully secured, the subject vanishes from view, and is transported to a completely different environment than where they were before wearing the mask. Subjects have described this area as barren and inhospitable, with tall black towers filling the area. Entities designated SCP-1499-1 have been sighted here, described as tall, nude humanoids with dark skin, coated in a thick layer of an unknown viscous substance, as well as large amounts of eyes and mouths covering their body. Upon removing 1499, subjects reappear in the same location they were in when they put it on.

1500- 1549

SCP-1500 - Zachary Callahan

SCP-1500 is a featureless humanoid with smooth, greenish-gray skin with long, multi-jointed limbs and durable, tensile skin, that cannot speak, and does not need to eat, breathe, or sleep. Any human in its line of sight experiences headaches, nausea, and feelings of fear, which gradually increase until the subject loses consciousness for 15 seconds. Upon awakening, the subject perceives 1500 as a Caucasian man named "Zachary Callahan". Their memories are altered to include 1500, portrayed as a friend from childhood or early adulthood. No attempts to reverse this change have proven effective to date.

SCP-1501 - Every Penny Counts

SCP-1501 is a set of humanoid automatons constructed of copper, iron, plastic, and animal hair, each instance possessing a method of collecting funds, such as a bucket or cauldron. When not in containment, 1501 will move to street corners, office buildings, traffic lights, and other locations where charity collectors are commonplace, where they are observed collecting for various charitable purposes. All funds collected by 1501 will be placed within their collection box, after which they will transfer it to the charity they were collecting for. 1501 will primarily focus on wealthy subjects with a propensity to donate to charitable organizations, following them to their homes, places of business, and any other location they travel to, sending letters advertising charitable organizations to their homes in order to convince them to donate more of their money. As this solicitation continues, instances of 1501 may disguise themselves as people close to the subject to persuade them to donate.

SCP-1502 - The Feeny Stitcher

SCP-1502 is a miniature humanoid construct that has been crudely assembled from leather, wire, burlap, and bone fragments of unknown sources, capable of speaking through dialogue from episodes of Boy Meets World. Unlike the rest of its body, its arms are mechanical, and have been constructed from surgical steel, its forearms containing an array of surgical tools. 1502 can achieve limited teleportation, relocating itself instantaneously to the interior of the nearest drawer, chest, cabinet, or similar piece of furniture. Subjects who observe 1502 will prompt the construct to perform extensive cosmetic surgery on them, altering their appearance to resemble actor William Daniels' character George Feeny. 1502 does not display any sense of preference among age, ethnicity, or gender, in selecting subjects, but it is limited by species.

Bamboo Technology: It's really nothing more than a "robot" crudely made of leather, wire and bone.
In Name Only: Victims who have never actually seen the show don't know how Feeny acts, so they invent their own versions of him. Recordings of the show are available to the victims, but they prefer their own versions of Feeny and refuse to watch them.
Loss of Identity: The vestiges of personality present in it are decaying, and it (or rather, they) increasingly believes itself to be Shawn Hunter from Boy Meets World. Similar thing tends to happen to its victims, who over time identify with George Feeny.
Mad Doctor: Obsessed with giving people very crude plastic surgery to make them look like George Feeny from Boy Meets World.
Meatgrinder Surgery: How it tries to make people resemble George Feeny.
Speaks In Shoutouts: Only speaks in Shawn Hunter's quotes from the show.
Split Personality: A female office worker and her three friends.
Villain Teleportation: It can teleport into any hidden spot within 100 meters.

SCP-1503 - Agoraphobic Stone

SCP-1503 is a sapient, vaguely humanoid entity with evidence of moss and lichen growth, located on the southern face of Mount Ungaran in Central Java. Time-lapse photography has determined that it is capable of moving at a maximum rate of 1m per year. Based on movement and direction, 1503 is estimated to have moved a total of 656m from its original location. The interior of a cave near the entity houses ancient Brāhmī inscriptions carved into the walls. Based on patterns of erosion within the interior, there is an estimated 200 to 300 years between each instance of writing.

SCP-1504 - Joe Schmo

SCP-1504 is a Caucasian man with an unremarkable appearance, aside from a small birthmark on his right shoulder. 1504's primary anomaly is a complete and utter inability to be noticed or harmed. As such, any actions carried out by him will be perceived by surrounding individuals as being within expectations for their current situation, to the point where employees that 1504 has actively assaulted will believe the resultant injuries were spontaneous. While those who make contact with 1504 see him as polite and courteous, 1504 is actually a hedonistic sociopath who does whatever he wants whenever he wants, and his anomaly makes it so that nobody finds any fault with with it. While no one else can see it, 1504 has also demonstrated a strong sense of depression during interviews, the sensation of spending his entire life physically incapable of being noticed or having to face consequences taking a clear toll on his mental health.

And I Must Scream: And not a single person would notice. Due to his abilities, he feels like he is being ignored by the whole world.
SCP-1504: Do you know what it feels like to be in a crowded room with people and they all ignore you? Do you know how hellish my life is? I want to die.
Blessed with Suck: People interacting with him assume everything is going normally and he is being unremarkable. He can punch them in the face and they'll assume they got a nosebleed randomly. He can scream at them and they'll assume he is speaking normally. He hates this, since it means people are pretty much ignoring him at all times. Worse, the ability spreads to where he is contained, to where requests for support or backup are ignored. On the other hand, this allows him to sabotage things with ease since no once notices.
Invisible to Normals: He himself is not actually invisible, but he is damn near impossible to notice.
Karma Houdini: He can get away with almost anything, because his anomalous glamour prevents anyone from suspecting or noticing anything he actually does; this is deconstructed as his life has become a living hell where nothing he does has merit or consequences (except to the people who want to lock him up permanently, regardless of his behavior).
Nigh-Invulnerability: SCP-1504 is a human being who can't be killed by anything (he has survived being at ground zero of a nuclear explosion) and is almost impossible to harm. The only known things that can affect him are exposure to Halothane gas and blunt force trauma to the head, both of which incapacitate him.
The Sociopath: As a direct result of all the above making him physically incapable of being noticed of anomalous behavior by the world (barring the parts that want to capture or kill him), he was unable to develop empathy and has orchestrated massive Keter outbreaks just to be noticed.
Technopath: He can manipulate electronic systems.

SCP-1505 - Paradoxical Avian Propagation

SCP-1505 is a self-propagating time loop stemming from a single raven. The bird has been observed to naturally repeat a cycle of events every 10 hours, ending with the bird's duplication as it respawns at its point of origin. Duplicates are observed to act independently of the parent and have different behavioral cycles, but they will repeat the cycle indefinitely until the parent is eradicated in a paradoxical reset. Directly killing a specimen will only result in it respawning at its point of origin, resetting the cycle.

SCP-1506 - Aerial Arachnid

SCP-1506 is a global phenomenon that spontaneously generates anomalous colonies of spiders of mixed species, numbering at least 900 individual members. By application of multiple varieties of silk, the spiders, known as SCP-1506-1, are able to build a complex structure less dense than air to live in, often found at altitudes of up to 18 km. When a colony descends below 500m, any animal touching the web will instantly adhere and be unable to remove itself from its boundaries. When enough food has been caught, 1506-1 will reel in the web, its structure engulfing the animal.

All Webbed Up: Prey animals captured by the colony are dragged inside at high speeds, engulfed by webbing, and Eaten Alive by the spiders over a period of several days.
Kill It with Fire: If one of the giant floating spiderweb clouds containing SCP-1506 spiders threatens to attack humans and can't be diverted, it will destroyed by a combination of flamethrowers and Fuel Air Explosive incendiary bombs.
Spiders Are Scary: Are they ever. Working together in this manner, they've been able to capture humans and other animals much larger than they could ever go after on their own.
Spider Swarm: SCP-1506 refers to a behavior among spiders in which they begin to exhibit this behavior, regardless of species, and work together to build and maintain floating hives made of webbing. Individual colonies consist of anywhere from nine hundred to several million spiders.
That's No Moon: They look like clouds from a distance, and in one incident an airliner actually crashed into one because they couldn't see the difference in time.
World in the Sky: Spider colonies made of webbing, with a density less than that of air.

SCP-1507 - Pink Flamingos

SCP-1507 are a group of plastic lawn flamingos of unknown manufacturer that are animate and self-aware to a degree. 1507 display no behavioral differences from the average flamingo, aside from an increase in territorial behavior and a lack of vocalization. This behavior often results in the animate ornaments attacking trespassing humans and Foundation personnel, vastly expanding their reach and hostility towards those who offend them, often by breaking them.

SCP-1508 - Mikey's Chore

SCP-1508 is a product of Dr. Wondertainment given the name "Mikey", which resembles a humanoid being dressed in a homemade robot costume composed of cardboard, paper, and plastic. Though it is currently dormant and classified as Neutralized, Mikey was once fully autonomous and able to move with a humanoid gait. When unrestrained, it would attempt to assist the nearest human subject with chores or menial activities being performed. Due to the composition of its body and the limited range of movements that it could perform, Mikey was able to spend up to three days attempting to perform the same task. Although it did not appear to require nourishment, analysis of its movements indicated that it could still experience exhaustion, dehydration, and damaged limbs or muscles.

SCP-1509 - The Blade of Rebirth

SCP-1509 is a blade similar to an Indonesian Parang, its metal partially tarnished and its wooden sheath carved into a shape resembling a bird. When 1509 is used to injure a human being, the resultant wounds are affected by anomalous spatial distortion, reaching potentially infinite depths. This phenomenon appears to only occur from outside inspection of the wound itself- the subject is not affected adversely by this anomaly, and the anomaly will not appear in medical imaging. Any foreign objects placed inside the wound and abandoned will disappear if they are placed any further into the wound than the "wound" should physically be able to penetrate. Within 3 hours the wound will either release pharaoh ants, or produce humanoids covered in thin membranes of amnion, which claim to be, or share memories with, a person who has died of any cause other than natural causes.

SCP-1510 - The Tarnished Legionnaire

SCP-1510 is a bronze Roman infantry helmet that bears no marks to distinguish it from other helmets. When worn by a man between the ages 28 and 35, SCP-1510-1 will manifest, overriding the wearer's personality entirely until the helmet is removed. 1510-1 identifies itself as "Publius Carthephilus Aetius", a Roman legionnaire who fought in the Jugurthine War and died on the night the war ended. The wearer will have no recollection of the time Publius had control over their body.

And I Must Scream: From the time he was cursed to the moment his body fully decayed and his mind stored in his helmet, Publius was completely conscious and aware of his surroundings while also being totally unable to move and unable to sleep.
Body Horror: A Roman legionnaire named Publius was affected by a curse that caused his body to rot away and his mind/soul to be stored in his helmet.
The Hat Makes the Man: Whenever a man between 28 and 35 years old puts on the helmet, the legionnaire's personality possesses them.
Hypno Trinket: Whenever a man between 28 and 35 years old puts on the helmet, the legionnaire's personality possesses them.

SCP-1511 - Mobile Paradise

SCP-1511 are irregularly-shaped crystalline objects of unknown origin that are capable of levitation and self-directed movement. 1511 travel between two locations 3 to 8 times a year by way of a fixed route designated SCP-1511-L, with the entry and exit points designated SCP-1511-L1 and -L2, respectively. On rare occasions, an instance of 1511 may cease movement and descend to the ground. Immediately afterwards, SCP-1511-A, humanoid figures orbiting the object, will become animate and engage in what is believed to be maintenance activity around the inert instance.

SCP-1512 - Irrational Root

SCP-1512 is an organic root-like structure with an estimated mass in excess of 80,000 metric tons. It consists of a dense and knotted network of tendrils, each of which is several hundred meters in length, growing out in various directions with no discernible pattern. The tendrils secrete a corrosive, foul-smelling slime that is capable of causing chemical burns on flesh, and afflicting exposed humans with disorientation and vertigo. Despite 1512's apparently organic composition, it has an unmeasurably high level of toughness and has proven immune to damage by cutting, burning, lasers, corrosive acids, and other means.

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Inverted — the Foundation contains it by having people perform accurate mathematical calculations about its physical location (specifically the differential pseudo-Riemannian topology of its point of origin, then refuse to believe the results. A footnote claims that the people best suited for not believing things that are proved right in front of them are Zen Buddhists and the Society of Jesus, which is either a Take That! or Fridge Brilliance, as both already place a heavy emphasis on distancing oneself from the physical world and their own impulses and appetites, in an attempt to bring oneself in line with a greater cosmic principle that lies beyond what the human mind and senses can perceive.
Combat Tentacles: SCP-1512 is an Eldritch Abomination that weighs more than 80,000 metric tons and has root-like tendrils several hundred meters long. The tendrils secrete a corrosive slime that causes chemical burns, disorientation and vertigo. They are completely immune to most forms of attack and can break through concrete and steel plate.
Eldritch Abomination: SCP-1512 is a dense and knotted network of powerful Combat Tentacles tendrils several hundred meters long that can grow at a rate of up to 8 meters per second unless contained.
Nigh-Invulnerable: SCP-1512 is a set of roots that are incredibly hard. They're immune to lasers, corrosives (e.g. acids), burning, cutting and all other known means of destruction.
Pun-Based Title: "Irrational root" refers to irrational mathematic roots (fitting the context of SCP-1512 — a math-based abomination that has to be stopped by people disbelieving math), and also refers to how SCP-1512 is a root-like structure that behaves against rational explanation.
Super-Strength: SCP-1512's tendrils can grow at a rate up to 8 meters/second. While doing so they can exert enough strength to burst through concrete and naval-grade steel plate.
Thought-Aversion Failure: Try not to believe in math while actively doing math while understanding enough to do it correctly. Go ahead, try. The Ghostbusters had it easy by comparison.
Your Head A-Splode: Niels Meyer, the unlucky originator of SCP-1512, a PHD student who, at the time, had been working on a non-Euclidean geometric problem until the root system burst out of his skull.

SCP-1513 - Potted Pets

SCP-1513 is a plastic package holding approximately 11 seeds, the words "GROW-A-PET" written on it. When a seed is planted into the ground, it will begin growing whether or not it is given water or sunlight. If the seed is cared for properly, it will grow into the shape of a domestic house pet for a period of time between 1-4 weeks, after which it will become animate and be known as SCP-1513-1. Instances of 1513-1 display behaviors consistent with the animal they resemble and act with an extremely friendly disposition. Although unable to move from the location they were grown in, they will attempt to contact any organism coming near them. 1513-1 also do not react to portions of their mass being removed, but if the mass is removed completely, it will grow into a different shape.

SCP-1514 - Star Wars

SCP-1514 is a nuclear deterrent system developed in association with the United States government in 1983, disguised from the populace by the publicly announced Strategic Defense Initiative and disparagingly codenamed "Star Wars". SCP-1514-1A is a 1.5m x 0.9m x 0.6m device composed mainly of steel, powered by an unknown internal source and containing an entity (SCP-1514-1B) hooked up to a sophisticated life-support system utilizing an unidentified dark red liquid. 1514-1A generates an anomalous radio transmission once every hour, broadcasting to a series of other satellites in its vicinity (SCP-1514-2), typically broadcasting to the nearest instance. The transmission cannot be deterred or disrupted through any known method, but failure to receive the signal for longer than 36 hours causes all 1514-2 instances to fire upon their preset land-based targets.

Conspiracy Kitchen Sink: At least for this SCP. The SCP mentions many conspiracy theories:
- The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) and the Project Excalibur program attempted to develop Xaser satellites and succeeded.
- CIA Project M██████ is mentioned and developed the telepathy components, which could be either be Project Montauk or Project MKUltra.
- "The ███ situation [that has threatened to shut the CIA project down] has been solved, though it's blown up in the general media"
Kill Sat: SCP-1514-2 is a whole network of xaser killer satellites Powered by a Forsaken Child (and the child's mother).
Love Transcends Spacetime: Exploited by the CIA. The natural bond between a mother and her child causes a small telepathic bond to be developed between them, which is enhanced through CIA experimentations and used as the basis of of SCP-1514. In a way, one could say that this is a Deconstruction of the trope in a very dark setting.
Mutually Assured Destruction: When America is wiped out and SCP-1514-1B dies, the kill sats will activate and wipe out everything that remains.
Orbital Bombardment: If the SCP-1514-2 Kill Sats do not receive the daily telepathic signal from SCP-1514-1A, they will attack and destroy their ground targets in Russia, triggering a nuclear war. While the targets are unspecified, they are implied to be Russian nuclear sites.
Powered by a Forsaken Child: SCP-1514-1A is a tank full of red liquid holding SCP-1514-1B, which was once a fetus that was taken from its mother. It controls SCP-1514-2, a system of X-ray laser Kill Sats orbiting the Earth.
Telepathy: SCP-1514-1A broadcasts a daily telepathic signal to the nearest SCP-1514-2 (laser Kill Sat).

SCP-1515 - Wallaby Wannabes

SCP-1515 is a species of rodent seemingly related to the springhare, though it possesses sharper teeth and longer claws.When encountering another placental mammal in the early stages of pregnancy, 1515 will begin to viciously attack them, using their large teeth to sever the spine through the back of the neck to cause paralysis. 1515 will then perform a procedure similar to a C-section with its claws, removing the fetus from the mother's womb and placing it in its expandable cheeks. It will then gnaw the skin off and remove it in thick sheets, which it sews together via the mother’s sharpened bones. Once these patches have been sewn into a "pouch", 1515 will stitch the edges of the "pouch" against its abdomen, placing the fetus in the pouch before leaving to split it with its fellow hunters.

SCP-1516 - The Written Man

SCP-1516 is a sapient and semi-variable typographical illustration of a man, his body being composed of deformed versions of the Spanish word to refer to that part of the body. When 1516 performs any action that would produce sound, he will produce written onomatopoeias from the source, floating on the air for 5 to 10 seconds before vanishing. Whenever 1516 enters direct contact with a single noun written on any suitable surface, the word will detach itself from the paper and will shape itself into a functional three-dimensional object depicting the previous concept of the word.

SCP-1517 - Candy Critters

SCP-1517 is a species of insect superficially resembling the Pharaoh cicada that typically exhibit vibrant, widely-varying coloration. The eggs laid by the insects, SCP-1517-A, are contained within brightly colored opaque spheres composed of hardened saccharides. When they hatch, nymphal 1517 will attempt to seek out the nearest source of living tissue and consume it, simultaneously converting it into various confectioneries through an unknown process.

SCP-1518 - The Bubble Fountain

SCP-1518 is a nonfunctional limestone fountain filled with a liquid that superficially resembles water, which appears to be irremovable from the artifact. 1518 sporadically releases bubbles of varying sizes (SCP-1518-1) that behave largely identical to non-anomalous bubbles, aside from an inability to pop. Upon emergence, 1518-1 will slowly float away from the fountain until they come into contact with liquid or solid matter. When exposed to the former, bubbles will increase their size upon assimilation of the liquid. Solids, however, are destroyed when the bubble reduces in size and ceases existing, the exact amount destroyed equal to the bubble volume lost.

SCP-1519 - Renaissance Organism

SCP-1519 is a small cylinder composed of human joints, tendons, fat cells, nervous tissue, cartilage, teeth, veins, and a single heart. A single, unique organ fabricated from the parts of a stomach, intestine, and heart is internally connected to the heart of the object. 1519 generates an electrical charge, and its openings can be fed into virtually any power source. The "lips" on the ends of the object reflexively form a conductive, vacuum sealed barrier to facilitate the flow of electricity.

SCP-1520 - An Elderly Monk

SCP-1520 is the mummified corpse of a 400-year-old Japanese Buddhist monk, having been placed through the archaic self-mummification process of sokushinbutsu. As a result, his muscles and internal organs are severely atrophied, his circulatory system contains less than 0.5 liters of blood, and his inhibited metabolism means that he requires little food or water and does not appear to sweat or produce weight. 1520 is fully sapient and aware of his surroundings, able to speak a 16th century Japanese dialect and make signs through simple movements of his hands. When left to his own devices, he sits motionlessly in a Lotus position, meditating and quietly praying to finally reach Nirvana.

SCP-1521 - The Most Holy Bank of His Holiness Pope Leo the Tenth, Saint in Waiting

SCP-1521 is an early Baroque-styled building in Rome, Italy. While the building appears to always be present, it is unable to be directly observed by most subjects, with those able to see it observing a sign identifying it as "The Most Holy Bank of His Holiness Pope Leo the Tenth, Saint in Waiting". 1521 plays host to a number of entities that appear human, often dressed in period garb of a Roman Catholic priest or nun, which are non-hostile and will attempt to defuse any situation involving physical violence.

SCP-1522 - Ships That Pass In The Night

SCP-1522 were two fishing trawlers (SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2) capable of speeds surpassing that of their specifications. The ships showed a degree of sapience, responding to signals to change course and mimicking the call of various whales, with which they engaged in play-like activity. They were also shown to engage in activity that resembled a couple in love, but were sadly destroyed by the Global Occult Coalition.

Beware the Nice Ones: In its desperate attempt to save SCP-1522-2, SCP-1522-1 attacked a GOC ship at a speed of Mach 4 and most likely killed everyone onboard. It is just a fishing trawler, and the GOC ship is armed with missiles. No description for the battle though.
Dying Moment of Awesome: SCP-1522-1, mortally wounded, annihilated the GOC ship so comprehensively that not even the lifeboats were recovered.
Monster Is a Mommy: It's implied that SCP-1522-2 was 'pregnant' with twins, because two partly-formed boats were found inside it
Official Couple: Probably the only example of this in the Foundation (among SCPs, anyway).
Punny Name: To trope Ships That Pass in the Night.
Ramming Always Works: Implied to be the fate of the GOC ship, as SCP-1522-1 attacked them at Mach 4, fast enough to superheat the water in contact with its hull into steam.
Sickeningly Sweethearts: SCP-1522-1 and SCP-1522-2 act much like a lovely couple and clearly care about each other. They don't have Coordinated Clothes, but they're same model of ships already.
Super-Speed: When its partner SCP-1522-2 was attacked by a ship of the Global Occult Coalition, SCP-1522-1 accelerated to approximately Mach 4 and rammed the GOC ship, destroying it.
Taking You with Me: SCP-1522-1, mortally wounded, took the GOC ship that killed its partner... and its entire crew' down with it.

SCP-1523 - Soul Brother

SCP-1523 is an orange-brown incense coil that displays sapience when ignited, responsive to verbal stimuli and capable of speech, using a voice identical to that of a popular 1970s R&B singer. The coil possesses the complete memory of this musician’s life, but it is currently unknown whether the musician had the same demeanor and obsession with religion that it has in its current form.

Super Smoke: SCP-1523 is a mass of smoke contained in an incense coil.

SCP-1524 - A Small Business

SCP-1524 is the last living specimen of a species that takes the form of "Freddy Sanchez Super Service Care Lawn", a local landscaping service. The bulk of the organism appears as a white utility van (SCP-1524-1) that appears to contain the central nervous system and digestive tract, and a middle-aged Latino man (SCP-1524-2, the titular "Freddy Sanchez") that serves as its limbs and sensory organs, which walks with wave-like lurching motions due to its lack of an internal skeleton. The primary function of "Freddy" appears to be harvesting plant material, which it gathers under the guise of landscaping, then brings back to the van, where it is broken down into nutrients.

SCP-1525 - The Emperor's New Watch

SCP-1525 is a solid gold Rolex watch in near-perfect condition, encrusted with twenty two small diamonds. A small Latin engraving is housed on the underside of the watch, reading "Horologium regem ideonos" ("A clock suited to a king"). Wearers of the watch will not initially show any abject symptoms until approximately four hours after they put it on. Whenever such a subject makes a conscious decision to undress, they will immediately assume themselves to be fully unclothed, and will remain oblivious to any clothing worn underneath their current layer despite the external stimuli, and will continue to remain ignorant until they remove the watch.

SCP-1526 - Papers, Please

SCP-1526 is a phenomenon that affects people who have more than one citizenship residing in a country with a population of >2 million people. These subjects will be approached by a humanoid male designated SCP-1516-A, wearing expensive clothing with miniature flags on its lapels. 1526-A will offer the subject a substantial sum of currency in exchange for one of their citizenships. Once they have verbally agreed to its terms, the subject will be instantaneously teleported to a location within one of the nations they are a citizen of. At the same time, an entity will appear within the nation from which the subject sold their citizenship with documents identifying them as legal residents or permanent aliens residing within that country. These entities, known as SCP-1526-1, appear as humanoids with varying appearances and internal structures composed of alien physiology.

SCP-1527 - Our Bellmaker, Our Radiant Skies

SCP-1527 is a remote town devoid of human life consisting mainly of white stone buildings. SCP-1527-1 is a church or temple at the approximate center of the town, where a clock tower rises from its southern-facing wall holding a metallic bell of unknown composition. Once every 24 hours, this bell will autonomously toll a variable number of times, summoning SCP-1527-A, a race of creatures that resemble crustaceans, bearing an armored carapace with segmented limbs and no identifiable "head". 1527-A possess some telepathic capability, and are capable of inducing suggestibility, confusion, and compulsion in sapient targets at an approximate range of 50 meters.

Giant Enemy Crab: SCP-1527-A are giant crustaceans with dimensions up to 1.5 meters by 2.7 meters by 2.9 meters. They have clawed hands and arms used for digging.
Telepathy: The large crustaceans summoned by the Bell have a kind of telepathy that can be disrupted by radio jamming. They can use it to telepathically attack human beings at a range of up to 50 meters and cause effects such as confusion, inducing suggestibility, implanting compulsions and leaving messages in their minds.

SCP-1528 - Finished With Lies

SCP-1528 is a blue liquid similar to commercial cleaning products. When in liquid form, 1528 has no anomalous properties. However, if dispersed in aerosol form and inhaled by a subject, it has an immediate psychological effect. If any object is perceived as flawed or broken by a subject who perceives that 1528 is applied to it, they will undergo a shift to their entire consciousness to correct the object's flaw.

SCP-1529 - King of the Mountain

SCP-1529 is a humanoid entity residing on the summit of Mt. Everest, resembling a mountaineer with a face obscured by the hood of its parka and what appears to be an oversized pair of mountain goggles. When human climbers ascend past the mountain’s 8,000 meter mark while the being is active, 1529 will attempt to make its way towards them and interpose itself between them and their destination or campsite. Once 1529 is within eyesight of a traveler, it will attempt to gain his/her attention and make eye contact with them, which induces a hypnotic effect in the victim. Death from hypothermia appears to occur within 1 to 2 hours of eye contact, after which victims experience an extremely accelerated state of decay.

For the Evulz: Implied; when asked why it kills people, it replied "Because it's there" (the reason given by George Mallory for climbing Everest).
Hypnotic Eyes: When SCP-1529 makes eye contact with a human being it exerts hypnotic control over the victim. This causes the victim to feel the effects of freezing to death (feeling warm and comfortable, sitting down and relaxing).
An Ice Person: One observer found out that it can cause frostbite just by looking at someone. Through a telescope.
Real Event, Fictional Cause: It's apparently responsible for killing the first man to ever climb Mt. Everest and about half of all the people who've died climbing it since.
Vampiric Draining: After SCP-1529 uses its Hypnotic Eyes to take control of a victim, it approaches them and drains their heat energy, causing them to die of hypothermia.
Was Once a Man: The only known survivor of one of its attacks is implied to have become a similar entity residing on a different mountain.
Youkai: It's very similar to a Yuki-onna or snow-woman, indeterminate gender aside: It's dressed all in white, appears to people lost in hostile weather on its mountain, and gets close to their faces when it kills (it shows its victims a tropical paradise and according to the author it kills you with a kiss).

SCP-1530 - A Bender's Friends

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the multiple canons folder.

SCP-1531 - Perfect Lie Detector

SCP-1531 is a polygraph with a French translation of the phrase "Themis is blind; who leads her to the light?" etched on its underside. When a human over the age of 12 has its sensors affixed to their skin and is asked a question, they normally answer the question orally, but will write, gesticulate, or blink in Morse code when restricted. Like most lie detectors, 1531 prints output consistent visually with standard polygraphs, but instead indicates the falsehood of the answer indicating the falsity of the answer.

SCP-1532 is a facility referred to as "Dr. Gale’s Human Emporium©", which artificially creates and sells human beings. The company advertises itself by spontaneously generating catalogs (collectively referred to as SCP-1532-b) in the mailboxes of residential addresses across the U.S.A. and Canada, which instruct the reader to create their chosen human by selecting a large number of available traits in the order form in the back of the catalog. Three to five weeks after this slip is mailed, a human being identical to the order placed (collectively referred to as SCP-1532-a) is delivered to the address of the sender by a blue van with the company’s name painted on the side. 1532-a appear physically indistinguishable to normal humans, but they share certain properties that make them possible to identify and locate, like identical fingerprints and complete sterility.

SCP-1533 - The Collective

SCP-1533 is an unknown aggregate intelligence that bears total control over superficially human entities and their personalities. 1533 usually manifests as social gatherings of variable nature organized and attended by the individuals it comprises within a fifty mile radius, such as house parties or holiday mixers. The individuals that comprise 533 possess the ability to mimic the behaviors of human subjects they have interacted with in the past. Each of them receives a personality schema consisting of a host of behaviors, skills, and personal attributes to perform a specific social role, needing only to be in a direct line of sight of an act to absorb it.

SCP-1534 - One Best Way

SCP-1534 is an occult organization operating out of a noted superstore in Catskill, New York. This cult, dubbed "SFSism" by its practitioners, is regularly disguised as an independent department within the store. The initial aim of SFSism is to utilize thaumaturgic practices in order to boost the region’s economic growth. The extent to which the rituals influence the marked increase in sales within these two stores is unclear, but it is obvious that that effect was tremendous.

SCP-1535 - Purgatory

SCP-1535 is a glass mason jar that induces anomalous effects on non-sapient creatures that are placed inside it when the lid is sealed. Creatures present within 1535 after it has been sealed are known as SCP-1535-1, which are sapient, have the ability to speak fluent Spanish, and possess knowledge of Morse code. Attempts to open the lid without damaging the jar while animals are inside have been ineffective, but they tend to expire 1-2 hours after being sealed within.

SCP-1536 - Doppelgängers

SCP-1536 are brown ovoid creatures resembling beetles with a hardened skin resembling chitin and an interior similar to intra-cellular fluid, as well as a pair of legs emergent from each side. When in direct line-of-sight of a sufficiently complex moving object, 1536 will alter its entire composition and appearance to match the object in question. If presented with a new replicable object, an instance will immediately change to replicate the new object. When replicating a living being, such as a human, they will behave and identify as said person.

Shapeshifter Default Form: SCP-1536's standard form is a large brown beetle 35 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide with two legs on each side of its body.
The Virus: Any living creature whose form is taken by SCP-1536 will become a new SCP-1536 after it dies.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: SCP-1536 can transform itself into any moving object or animal it sees, once every 16 minutes. SCP-1536 cannot be distinguished from what it copied by any known test.

SCP-1537 - The Words of Akul'hil

SCP-1537 is a language associated with a group identified as "The Brothers of Akul'hil", which demonstrates no connection or similarities to any known language. When spoken aloud, this language produces an anomalous reaction in human beings that perceive it. Two weeks after exposure, an affected subject's body will rapidly disintegrate, producing a mass of pseudo-liquid material known as SCP-1537-A. These masses are either autonomous or sentient, and are capable of both locomotion and alteration of their shape, the latter of which renders them resilient to most forms of physical damage. A rarer secondary reaction, SCP-1537-B, produces no effects other than progressive fluency awareness of 1537, as well as the capability of giving instructions to 1537-A instances in any language. 1537-A are entirely loyal and extremely protective toward 1537-B, protecting them from threats by using their bodies as shields.

Blob Monster: SCP-1537-A, which is what people turn into two weeks after hearing a specific phrase in the SCP-1537 language Akul'hil. They are a liquid-like substance containing human tissue that is intelligent and can move around at up to 80 km/hour. They are capable of Voluntary Shapeshifting, including creating appendages such as tentacles.
Forced Transformation: Anyone hearing a specific phrase in the SCP-1537 language Akul'hil is 99% likely to die and be transformed into SCP-1537-A (a Blob Monster with Voluntary Shapeshifting) after a two week period.
Kill It with Fire: Because their Voluntary Shapeshifting ability gives them resistance to physical damage, the only known way to kill SCP-1537-A is to immolate them.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: SCP-1537-A can change into an almost limitless variety of shapes. They can also increase their mass to up 3 times normal and make their skin as strong as steel.

SCP-1538 - Instructions to a Twin-Screw Extruder

SCP-1538 are the apparent suicide notes written by 15 people in Daejeon, South Korea between 2008 and 2010. Despite a lack of existing relationships between any individuals, each note contains a portion of a unified narrative, consisting of specialized technical instructions interspersed with personal sentiments. When combined, fourteen of the notes form a technical manual for the operation of SCP-1538-1, a twin-screw extruder of unknown manufacture capable of creating carnivorous masses of flesh.

SCP-1539 - Semantic Dissociator

SCP-1539 is a dissociation zone of irregular shape filling the basement laundry room of an apartment complex in Pennsylvania. Objects and entities that stay within this zone for longer than 81 seconds suffer severe identity dysfunction, resulting in dissociation of their physical properties from their semantic identity. Though perception of subjects and properties of the objects are unaffected by identity dysfunction, viewers will identify the objects as being reassigned, the dissociated identities reattaching themselves to completely different items.

SCP-1540 - Metamorphic Identity

SCP-1540 is a humanoid organism that undergoes a process known as SCP-1540-A, which it does not possess control over. During this time, its skin will begin to secrete large quantities of a viscous white substance, which will solidify and expand to form a semi-transparent cocoon around it. Over the next six hours, 1540 will gradually dissolve, and a new body will emerge from the cocoon. 1540 ‘s appearances differ in gender and age, but they do not exhibit abnormal physiology or other anomalous traits. The appearances also bear unique identities, personalities, and full memories of their previous lives.

SCP-1541 - The Drunken God

SCP-1541 is an entity that claims to be the physical representation of a long-forgotten deity of alcohol, currently located in the G34.3 ethanol cloud of the Aquila constellation. 1541 claims that it has been attempting to contact the descendants of its followers for what it approximates as the past 100 years via a cellphone designated SCP-1541-2. As it currently shows a tendency towards severe alcoholism and manic-depressive disorder, 1541’s messages often take the form of long and rambling drunken texts.

SCP-1542 - Subject: A-35

SCP-1542 is a vaguely humanoid entity consisting primarily of muscle tissue anchored to an unidentified foam-like substance formed into a tubular structure. 1542's muscle tissue secretes a solution of potent paralytic substances contained within a semi-acidic mucus, which the substance appears to coat the entirety of its body and functions as gelatinous skin. It also does not possess a vascular system, respiratory system, or digestive tract, gaining sustenance by absorbing oxygen and nutrients through its mucous coating. When traveling, 1542 prefers to primarily contract and expand its torso to propel itself.

SCP-1543 - Efrain's Dialtone

SCP-1543 is the phone number for a country code that is not in use, which can only be reached by international dialing. When any phone is used to dial this number, the connection manifests as an intangible point in space that allows for contact with SCP-1543-1, who refers to himself as a Puerto Rican man named "Efrain". Efrain claims that after falling asleep in his home in San Juan, he woke up in the ruins of a city overrun with tropical flora and fauna, as researchers have observed ambient environmental sounds in addition to his voice during these calls. Efrain is largely uncooperative with the Foundation, treating them with increasing anger and annoyance, as their attempts to talk to him garner fear of local predators gaining his attention.

SCP-1544 - Slinky Man

SCP-1544 is a large entity with multicolored skin similar to a slinky. It is controlled by a small, gelatinous, peach-colored mass in its center, connected to a thin skeletal system that makes up its limbs, and is able to feed by using the mass to envelope food it takes in through its limbs. Its skin is abnormally resistant to damage, and its limbs are able to flex to 5 meters in length, and can move at speeds exceeding 35 kilometers per hour by cartwheeling. 1544 has a jovial temperament and appears to take great pleasure in dancing, but will only do so if it hears music, otherwise it will display depression and apathy towards any nearby stimulus.

SCP-1545 - Larry the Loving Llama

SCP-1545 is a two-person costume resembling a llama wearing galoshes, referred to as "Larry, the Loving Llama" by a tag on its rear. Larry’s anomalous effects become apparent when the costume is worn, as subjects wearing it will act extremely "in character", the frontal person speaking as Larry and acting in an extremely docile manner while the rearward person performs various jigs. Subjects inside Larry are not physically able to take the costume off without being pulled out and show no desire to do so. Unless forcefully removed, affected subjects will continuously act as Larry until they die. Those still alive when half of the costume "dies" will still act as the appropriate half until they too expire.

SCP-1546 - University Ballcap

SCP-1546 is a large, green, slightly-damaged baseball cap with a large W on the front. Subjects wearing the cap when surrounded by other people will exhibit greater confidence, charisma, and persuasive ability than they would without it. Those who wear 1546 have reported a greater sense of intuition and empathy towards others during verbal interaction, though this empathy extends only to helping subjects achieve their goals through manipulation of conversational partners. Many subjects describe knowing what their partner is thinking, combined with mild euphoria when this information is used to their advantage.

SCP-1547 - A Mother's Love

SCP-1547 is a phenomenon that occurs on various Southeast Asian islands, which results in the appearance of SCP-1547-A, a vaguely humanoid entity of variable appearance that calls itself "Chioll". Witnesses describe Chioll to be two meters tall and covered in black fur, with only a pair of vaguely canine eyes for facial features. It is capable of a minor hallucinogenic/compulsion effect, with those being unable to withstand it reporting to see a tall wooden structure. Subjects that are unable to withstand the hallucinations and compulsions, now designated SCP-1547-Ψ, will attempt to construct and build the structure, which is believed to serve as an altar. At completion of the structure, the majority of 1547-Ψ typically will fall unconscious.

The Blank: People asked to describe its face say SCP-1547-A doesn't have one.
Evil Luddite: Two of the rituals in the article involve human inventions. One involves burning books and renders humans unable to think. The other involves something involving computers that was expunged and shut down an entire town's Internet access.
Flaying Alive: SCP-1547-A does this to the first observed subject to complete a ritual with no ill effects on the subject.
Gaia's Vengeance: A slower version than usual, and the purpose is to reduce humans back to being animals.
God Save Us from the Queen!: Chioll is described as a queen by SCP-1547-B.
Intangible Man: SCP-1547-B, which appears as a mass of animal limbs of different types.
Mother Nature: Her name is Chioll. She thinks complex thought is a bad thing.
Mysterious Antarctica: SCP-1547-B lives in a temple in Antarctica.
Ritual Magic: Subverted. SCP-1547-A will ask people to perform a ritual, but the magic doesn't work outside of its presence.
Science Is Bad: The entities associated with SCP-1547 think that all abstract thought is bad and technology is worse.
Telepathy: Whenever a living creature comes within 5 meters of SCP-1547-B, SCP-1547-B will transmit a telepathic message to it. The message is the story of how the deity Chioll became determined to stop humans from polluting the Earth.
When the Clock Strikes Twelve: SCP-1547-A will manifest itself in a random person's bedroom each night at midnight. It will then try to get the person to carry out a self-destructive ritual.

SCP-1548 - The Star, the Hateful

SCP-1548 is a series of anomalous solar phenomena, primarily occurring at the south pole of the Sun. These include six equidistant ovular sunspots, whose ends converge every 23 hours. A solar prominence may also form from the site of the sunspots and break off from the Sun, moving away and likely entering interstellar space. Other times, the sunspots form thaumaturgical symbols which range in size, which can occur in conjunction with differing events.

SCP-1549 - In Absence of a Perfect Medium

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the AIAD folder.

1550- 1599

SCP-1550 - Dr. Wondertainment's Custom-Pets™

SCP-1550 is an artificial species created by Dr. Wondertainment. The creatures first come in forms known as "Adapto-Eggs", appearing as 1-centimeter flesh-toned ovoids that hatch when exposed to air. The eggs will hatch into "Custom-Pets", which are adapted for life in the environment the egg was hatched in. As the adult specimens appear to be sterile, it is unknown how Adapto-Eggs are created.

Adaptive Ability: When their eggs (called Adapto-Eggs) are placed in a certain environment, they will hatch into a creature suited for that environment, e.g. putting one in water will cause it to develop gills and flipper-like tails. Although putting the eggs somewhere inhospitable (e.g. a vat of molten iron) will destroy them.
Pet Monstrosity: They were designed to live in any environment that normal animals can live in and be pets to the children who live there.
What Measure Is a Non-Cute?: Despite their hideous appearance, they're quite harmless.

SCP-1551 - Repeating House

SCP-1551 is an extremely dilapidated house in Argentina that contains a kitchen, a living room, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms, but no functioning plumbing, heating or electricity.. The house is also associated with a repetitive sequence of events that targets humans, causing them to be forced by circumstance to live in it. The sequence will repeat itself when the current human subject inhabiting the house dies, which it has already done so 23 times. Almost all iterations of the sequence have begun with the previous individual's suicide.

SCP-1552 - The Dog Who Loves Closeups

SCP-1552 is a five-year-old English bulldog that responds to the name "Tarquin". SCP-1552-1 is a collection of 257 separate items with reflective surfaces, including mirrors, vehicle chassis, office fixtures, and glass fragments of various sizes. Each instance of 1552-1 displays live footage of a close-up of Tarquin’s face, regardless of where it is located relative to him. Any reflective surface with a gloss index of 95 or higher is subject to becoming an instance of 1552-1, so long as an independent observer views the surface with the intent of viewing Tarquin’s reflection. Tarquin himself does not seem to be able to control the footage reflected, but while unconscious some observers have reported a vertigo-like feeling emanating from the reflections.

SCP-1553 - Dr. Wondertainment's Shadow Paint Play-Set!

SCP-1553 is a cardboard box commercially produced and advertised as "Dr. Wondertainment®’s Shadow Paint Play-Set!", containing a paintbrush, 2 quarts of a translucent, viscous black fluid labeled "Shadow Paint" (SCP-1553-A), and a white foam sponge labeled "Shadow Eraser" (SCP-1553-B). When applied to any illuminated surface, the Shadow Paint will dry completely, leaving behind an anomalous shadowed object designated SCP-1553-1, capable of interacting with any other shadow via direct contact. If the Shadow Paint is used to depict an animal or humanoid, the image will spontaneously animate upon drying, creating an instance of SCP-1553-2. These shadows will display intelligence, physical ability, and behavior appropriate to their form, but will only animate if depicted as solid, uninterrupted silhouettes.

SCP-1554 - The Damaged Fellowship

SCP-1554 is a 1969 copy of The Fellowship of the Ring in very poor condition, with several pages having been scribbled on, moderate water damage, and the entirety of one chapter missing. The act of damaging any of the book’s pages produces an item that forms itself from the damaged page, designated SCP-1554-A. The objects formed vary depending on the type of damage caused to the book, with scribbling on pages water damage typically producing quasi-biological specimens, tearing out pages produces inanimate objects, water damage results in quasi-biological specimens, and tearing the paper creates small, autonomous dioramas of scenes from the novel. Burning the book also causes a sudden gravitational shift in a random direction, invariably resulting in severe injuries to all individuals and objects within a 5-meter radius of 1554, including the book itself.

SCP-1555 - Facility

SCP-1555 is a facility of unknown origin and purpose installed in tunnels beneath an unnamed mountain peak in a national park, appearing to occupy the near entirety of the mountain’s interior. The structure of 1555's tunnels (designated SCP-1555-1) culminates near the peak of the mountain, where a steel tube exits at the very top of the structure and continues for three meters at a 27-degree horizontal angle. The tube has been observed to change shape, usually in the shape of a muzzle device, such as a booster or recoil brake. At unpredictable time periods, 1555 will launch a projectile (designated SCP-1555-2) from the tube at the standard muzzle velocity for a 155mm howitzer, which lands intact in a valley 6 km northeast of the mountain and releases specimens of Robertson's field mice, tentatively labeled SCP-1555-3, before corroding to dust.

Abnormal Ammo: The shells fired out of SCP-1555 can be made out of of various materials and usually contain an unknown species of mice. One even had Clown Car qualities.
Alien Geometries: The inside of the underground part of SCP-1555 is Bigger on the Inside and a shell fired by SCP-1555 had Clown Car qualities.
Bigger on the Inside: SCP-1555 is a series of underground tunnels inside a mountain. In one area there's a mile-wide lake which is much too big to fit inside the mountain.
Clown Car: SCP-1555 fires shells filled with mice (and sometimes other things). One time, a shell fired by SCP-1555 opened up and a horde of mice poured out for three hours. The total number of mice couldn't have naturally fit into the shell.
Cow Tools:Just what the hell are all those pipes on the interior for? The only one that seems even remotely related to the facility's exterior function is the one packed to the brim with mice; all of the others are completely unrelated and often hazardous.
Dwindling Party: In the exploration log, Mobile Task Force Epsilon-12 have this inflicted on them.
Malevolent Architecture: The interior of the facility seems purpose-built to kill and maim intruders in various grisly ways. There are a few areas that seem deliberately designed as traps (like the room of gun barrels or the Razor Floss corridor), but most of the facility's dangers come from the utter pants-on-head lunacy of its design.
More Dakka: One of the rooms appears to be lined with rifle barrels which open fire, obliterating Alpha and caking the walls in five inches of lead.
No OSHA Compliance: The inside of the mountain is absolutely stuffed with dangerous machinery, including miles upon countless miles of pipes that are filled with various substances (everything from uranium hexafluoride vapor to latex paint to tree pollen), and which don't seem to have any particular function beyond being hazardous. It's clear the place wasn't laid out with human habitation in mind; massive sections of corridor are either filled with some Deadly Gas or another, or are lined with hazardous pipes filled with toxic, cryogenic, radioactive, or otherwise harmful substances that bear no relationship to each other or the facility's exterior function.

SCP-1556 - Misthorses

SCP-1556 is a herd of 15 feral Mustang horses which freely inhabit and roam a mountainous region in the American Southwest. These horses have only been observed during periods of mist or fog that reduces visibility to below 100m, and individual members of the herd are recognizable by their unusual behavior and reflective amber eyes. During periods where the mist is not sufficient mist for observation, no trace of the herd can be found. 1556 exhibit greater strength and endurance than regular feral horses, allowing them to endure harsh mountain winters that prove fatal to normal horses. 1556 also display a higher level of intelligence that allows for problem-solving and coordination unusual for a regular equine species.

SCP-1557 - Giraffe Hell

SCP-1557 is an anomalous location that can only be reached by a door made of an unidentified black material in Greenland, the words "The wicked stay in this place" inscribed on it in Syriac. The door will open when approached by an organism that is not particularly religious or a giraffe. 1557 itself has been noted to resemble an Arctic tundra and does not appear to have any additional entrances or exits, populated by two kinds of entities designated SCP-1557-A and SCP-1557-B. 1557-A are a large number of giraffes that reside within the tundra. The giraffes are apparently unable to die, as individual specimens have been observed to last more than three weeks without food or water, as well as sustaining damage inflicted which would normally be lethal. 1557-B are spheres of white light that are capable of communication with any organism, which will report them speaking in their native language. These entities typically will spend long periods of time taunting, yelling at, injuring, or otherwise hurting the giraffes in the tundra.

Another Dimension: SCP-1557 appears to be a Hell for evil giraffe souls. They are harassed and physically punished by spheres of white light (giraffe demons?), but immediately heal all wounds.
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a Hell for giraffes.
Healing Factor: SCP-1557-A are giraffe souls condemned to SCP-1557. Any damage inflicted on SCP-1557-A is quickly healed by unknown means.
Hell: It appears to be this for evil giraffe souls.
Portal Door: SCP-1557 can only be reached by passing through a free-standing door in Greenland. The door is 2.5 meters wide and 3 meters high, and has a surface temperature of over 2700 °C.

SCP-1558 - Snuff Tower

SCP-1558 is a cellular network antenna that has the capability of intercepting and covertly replacing the audio of phone calls placed through its transceiver stations. 1558’s substituted audio exhibits similar characteristics in every recorded instance: a two-person interaction involving a deep male voice (SCP-1558-1) and a perfect replica of the voice of the intended recipient. In each instance, 1558-1 will claim to have the intended recipient of the call held at gunpoint, threatening to kill them unless the caller causes the vehicle they inhabit to crash.

SCP-1559 - Birdsoul In Your House

SCP-1559 is a set of posters that display the words "A FEW STILL LISTEN TO BIRDS" in different languages. The anomalous properties of 1559 will be activated when any human looks at a poster for more than 5 seconds, upon which the individual will become extremely sensitive to bird calls and acquire the ability to understand the meaning of such a call. After a period of time, affected individuals (SCP-1559-1) will exhibit a fondness for birds and view them as divine, attempting to protect and provide for them, show an extreme distaste for eating them, and mimicking their behaviors in daily life. 1559-1 will automatically gain knowledge of how to create additional instances of 1559, attempting to post them in eligible locations.

SCP-1560 - Extradimensional Albatross

SCP-1560 is a species of bird resembling the black-browed albatross presumed to be of extradimensional origin. The eyes of the creature differ greatly from that of terrestrial birds, as they are compound eyes that have been determined to be extraordinarily sensitive to ultraviolet light. Though their behavior is similar to that of a terrestrial marine bird, 1560 lack functional legs and therefore do not land, only dropping below 8,100 m to feed, at which point they completely disappear for five to ten minutes. Long-range photography and extensive study suggests that 1560 hunt by displacing into an extradimensional space inhabited by a species of cephalopod which forms their primary diet.

SCP-1561 - The Tyrant's Pretext

His Majesty's SCP-MDLXI is a glorious golden crown wrought by the finest smith, crafted with the most expensive jewels in the land. The object's sorcery is instigated when His Majesty's crown is spoken, worn, or inscribed about. When bestowed upon the unworthy head of a male peasant, those who art within viewing distance see the unworthy wearer as the highest authority. These subjects are born anew when the king is crowned, thus taking upon thyselves new roles befitting their previous stature, and peasants under His rule feel the rightly obligation to fashion a robe out of the finest material at hand, sometimes using their own garments, for the righteous King to wear. The newly crowned King also develops a magnificent sense of absolute ruling, empowering him to build a royal army and establish his kingdom. The unworthy wearer shall also grow a glorious beard and mustache to better befit his position. Thy effects wither when the Royal Crown is willingly removed, or when the subject dies.

Brainwashing: Any unworthy peasant who has this magnificent crown bestowed upon them shalt be viewed by other commoners as the highest authority they hath ever met, and even causes them to take ranks as befitting of their previous statures; for instance, 'guards' become knights and 'scientists' become Royal Scholars. The newly-crowned king also gains a magnificent sense of ruling, and thus seeks to build a royal army of knights in order to establish his kingdom.
Enemy Mine: King Data the Expunged wishes to form an alliance with the O5 Council against "the greater evil".
Painting the Medium: Any direct reference to His Majesty's SCP-1561 causes any unworthy peasants writing or talking about it to describe it as befitting the King's ascended status. Indirect reference does not cause this.
Purple Prose: Any reference to His Majesty's SCP-1561 causes the writer or speaker to describe it and/or its effects on any unworthy peasants who see it with flowery language as befitting such a magnificent crown.

SCP-1562 - Tunnel Slide

SCP-1562 is a metal playground slide 2.2 meters in height and 3.4 meters in length. The object's anomalous effects manifest when a human subject slides down head-first on their stomach with their arms tucked at their sides. When a person slides down 1562 in this manner, they will instantly disappear approximately 15 cm before the end of the slide. Communication with vanished sliders has documented that they appear stuck in a narrow tunnel, which may exhibit repetitive temporal qualities.

SCP-1563 - Property Markers

SCP-1563 is a predatory organism resembling property boundary markers commonly used in rural areas. The organisms have very durable and very sharp tooth-like structures covering the ventral side of its body, which are used to puncture the skin of prey. 1563 will often attach itself to trees or other standing wooden structures, leaping onto prey and strangling it to death before puncturing the neck and feeding on its blood. 1563 are composed of an extremely durable cell structure composed of what appears to be a pair of cell walls, housing two major organelles.

SCP-1564 - Post-Nibbanic

SCP-1564 are six ovoid objects designated SCP-1564-1 through -6, constructed primarily of brass, beryllium bronze, and small amounts of gold. Scans have shown that instances of the objects are hollow and contain unique and extremely intricate assemblies of clockwork components in constant, non-repetitive motion despite the lack of an apparent internal or external power source. Each object contains unique patterns engraved across their entire surfaces, which serve as their only visually distinguishable feature. Whenever containment procedures are not followed, any individual who can remember the appearance of any instance may establish telepathic contact with a group of six entities, collectively referred to as SCP-1564-7, at will. Contact with 1564-7 may cause exhaustion and headaches, though subjects have not been shown to experience long-term mental or physical harm or alteration. The entities also appear to have connections with the Church of the Broken God.

SCP-1565 - Martian Turtles

SCP-1565 is a group of 37 snapping turtles residing within an irregularly shaped area of the impact crater Hellas on Mars. 1565 are visually indistinguishable from regular snapping turtles, but they do not require nutrition, excrete waste, show signs of aging, and can "swim" through the Martian surface. SCP-1565-A is a translucent green barrier surrounding the area containing the turtles, impervious to gasses and maintaining an internal atmosphere of 65% sulfur dioxide, 29% carbon dioxide, and 6% argon.

SCP-1566 - Free Hugs

SCP-1566 is a green cotton t-shirt with the text "Free Hugs" printed onto the chest. When worn by a human subject with functioning arms, the shirt imposes an irresistible compulsion on any person that can read the printed text. Affected subjects exhibit a powerful urge to embrace the subject, citing feelings of sympathy and affection. When a reader embraces the wearer, they are irresistibly compelled to return the gesture. When embracing the reader, the subject exhibits strength far surpassing their normal capabilities, causing massive trauma to the reader’s torso. The subject will continue squeezing until the reader expires, usually due to a combination of collapsed lungs, internal bleeding, and the piercing action of snapped ribs.

SCP-1567 - The Dunne of Gallen

SCP-1567 is the small mining town of Gallington, located within Cairngorms National Park, Scotland. Despite the presence of modern roads, line markings, and signage supporting their use, no motor vehicles have been observed within the town. The populace of the town, SCP-1567-2, are non-anomalous aside from the unknown means of their present survival, as Gallington has no observable supply of food, water, fuel, or electricity. SCP-1567-3 is a British Rail Class-365 electric train that continuously travels the railway line surrounding Gallington in a clockwise direction, usually maintaining a speed of 131.5km/h. 1567-3's interior lights emit visible white light at a combined estimated output of 15,457,000 lumens, and gamma radiation that allows for symptoms of radiation poisoning at close distance.

SCP-1568 - Kingston the Crab

SCP-1568 is a hermit crab that measures 25 meters in length and 10 meters in width, large enough that it regularly uses fishing boats as shells. The crab, nicknamed "Kingston" after the boat that functions as its current shell (SCP-1568-1), shows no aggressive behavior to subjects that do not board this boat, despite attempting escape on several occasions. Kingston’s claws show extreme flexibility and are capable of reaching completely around itself at speeds relative to those of its "shell". The crab is normally a blue-green color, but possesses the ability to camouflage itself to match the current color of surrounding waters. The boat it wears can be used to fish off of any side except the front end, with Kingston itself typically reaching into nets and removing fish to eat. If fish are no longer being caught in the area, Kingston will cause its shell to capsize and consume subjects that land in the water.

Giant Enemy Crab: SCP-1568 is a hermit crab 25 meters long and 10 meters wide. It uses boats as its shell (SCP-1568-1). When it outgrows its shell it will sink and inhabit another boat, killing and eating anyone aboard.
Power Pincers: SCP-1568 is a giant hermit crab with highly flexible claws that can extend up to 40 meters from its body. The claws are powerful enough to grab and hold human beings.

SCP-1569 - Jumbo Shrimp

SCP-1569 is an organism physically resembling the peacock mantis shrimp, albeit of abnormally large size and proportionally high mass. The legs of 1569 measure between two to three meters in length, and a majority of its body is composed of dense hydroxyapatite. Unlike non-anomalous peacock mantis shrimp, its neon green carapace covers the entirety of the thorax. 1569 has proven docile toward human beings, and often engages in displays of what is assumed to be affection by rubbing its antennae and antennules against a subject’s body, as well as hugging and briefly grappling them with its maxillipeds, suggesting that it possesses an intelligence on par with that of a dog. 1569 immediately reacts violently and aggressively when introduced to any species of shark, capable of striking them with a force up to 51,000 newtons. It had previously stored and expelled a humanoid known as SCP-1569-1.

Cyanide Pill: Six days after the humanoid SCP-1569-1 left SCP-1569, it committed suicide with poison hidden in one of its molars. It did so once it realized it would be confined by the Foundation indefinitely.
Eye Scream: While the human D-156912 was trapped inside SCP-1569, tendrils inside SCP-1569 destroyed his eyes while trying to interface with them. He could feel his eyes pop and feel goop flowing down his face.
Fictional Color: The tendrils inside SCP-1569 destroyed the eyes of the human trapped within it. As the tendrils dug around in his eye sockets he reported being able to see colors he had never seen before. He was seeing through SCP-1569's eyes.
Organic Technology: The foundation hypothetizes that SCP-1569 is a "biological vehicle" of some kind.

SCP-1570 - The Shocked Woman

SCP-1570 is the corpse of Marjory Dornmann, a Caucasian woman who passed away on July 21st, 1989 at the age of 61. Since death, her body has not shown any natural stages of decay, and exhibits a stiffness superficially similar to rigor mortis. Marjory’s corpse is capable of spontaneously projecting three-dimensional images of her without the use of reflective surfaces or relation between the location of the projection and the corpse itself. These projections are usually static and broadcast into densely populated urban areas, although they have been mobile on rare occasions and are known to disperse on physical contact. Analysis of Marjory’s behavior through the projections suggest she possesses an inclination to "observe" displays of public indecency or similar behavior that would otherwise be defined as "obscene" by community standards.

SCP-1571 - Keeper of Treasures

SCP-1571 is a leather wallet with the words "We never forget what's really valuable" written with a felt-tip pen on the inside flap. When 1571 is continuously kept in the possession of a subject, it begins to produce documents, small items, and photographs related to individuals close to them, all of which the subject deems valuable in terms of memorability and sentimentality. Evidence suggests that significant emotional strain in the individual who most recently carried the wallet triggers the manifestation of new items.

SCP-1572 - Root Map

SCP-1572 is an orange sheet of children's construction paper that appears heavily worn, one side bearing the words "Secret Spesial[sic] Map of Backroots". Any human subject viewing the paper will see it as a map crudely drawn with crayon or marker, leading to a location the subject sees as significant, ranging from places the subject has fond memories of to more abstract ones. As the subject moves closer to the area in question by following the map, they will begin hearing a voice they claim originates from 1572, saying that the subject has to reach the location before the sun sets or else they may "remember". When a day has passed, subjects will claim to see entities observing them from a distance, which subjects will describe as being related to the area they are attempting to reach. As the subjects get closer to their destination, the creatures will be visible as incorporeal objects, following the subject until they reach their destination. Once reaching their destination, subjects will begin to interact with the area as they did when they were children, usually displaying euphoria and sudden athletic ability. If the subject is not viewed while in this area, they may suddenly disappear.

SCP-1573 - Kids These Days

SCP-1573 is the Mexican town of Telerana, which possesses minor antimemetic properties that conceal the exact location of the town and the identities of the people living within it. Regardless of this, subjects have been able to access the region, through methods such as instantaneous translocation. Telerana also contains spatial-altering phenomena, as no perceivable increase to its size or area of effect has been detected despite the increasing population. Within the center of Telerana is an 8 m tall statue primarily composed of steel, silica-glass, and plastic sheeting. Prayers towards this statue conducted en masse, will result in the manifestation of SCP-1573-1, sentient parasitic humanoid cephalopods composed of thin, interweaving tubes of metal, plastic, and copper. Upon witnessing the anomaly, subjects will perceive 1573-1 as local children, nurturing it as it leeches sustenance from them, often until adulthood or, in some cases, until they become aware of the anomaly.

SCP-1574 - Searching...

SCP-1574 is a spherical object of extraterrestrial origin, capable of moving in any direction. 1574 has never been directly observed, as it emits a perception-altering effect on any living subject capable of observing it. This causes the subject to believe they are perceiving a variety of other objects, and is believed to be a cloaking effect to allow 1574 easy access to surveillance locations without being seen.

Real Event, Fictional Cause: It's implied to have some connection to the Boxing Day Tsunami, despite being on the other side of the world. It may or may not have been caused by aliens from its home planet who had come looking for it.

SCP-1575 - Venus Statue

SCP-1575 is a marble fountain bearing a statue of the goddess Venus, clad only in wrappings from the waist downwards. Any fresh water allowed to pour through 1575 (henceforth SCP-1575-1) is shown to have mutagenic properties when consumed by or otherwise introduced into a non-human mammal. Such creatures that consume at least 0.5 liters of 1575-1 daily will begin mutating into a human being over the course of one month. After mutation is completed, affected subjects normally display an intelligence level typical for what is considered average for their species. Many subjects also develop proper vocal cords and are able to learn to speak, but typically only with rudimentary phrases of basic needs. Most subjects are also able to achieve full mobility within two-to-four weeks of stabilization.

Ambiguous Gender: When a male animal drinks water from SCP-1575 and changes into a human being, the result usually has an androgynous appearance and its genitalia are either non-functional or completely missing.
Ambiguous Situation: Depending on how old the thing is, the fact that a Greek/Roman Goddess is the fountainhead suggests a connection between the water and the various hybrid monsters of Classical Mythology (i.e. creatures like centaurs, satyrs and harpies were partially transformed horses, goats and birds). Nothing is confirmed on it however.
Applied Phlebotinum: The water on its fountain initiates the transformation. It doesn't work on humans, though.
Aristocrats Are Evil: Created by Marshall, Carter & Dark Ltd. for the purpose of entertaining rich people. Apparently, there are rich people who are really entertained by the sight of animals suffering gruesome and excruciatingly painful transformations. Or possibly, there are rich people who really want Beast Folk as pets or worse and don't care if they're ethically sourced.
Bears Are Bad News: Curiously, a bear is the only animal in the test logs that managed to complete a proper transformation.
Big Creepy-Crawlies: When the water altered by SCP-1575 is drunk by a mammal, parasitic vermin infesting the mammal can start changing into human beings. They usually don't survive, but you can end up with half human/half flea or half human/half tapeworm abominations.
Body Horror: If the test logs are to be believed, the transformations aren't at all pretty.
Chest Burster: The Foundation once tested the thing on a dog that wasn't properly checked for parasites. It didn't end well.
... the psychologist is having a hard time helping Janet with her nightmares of a seven foot long tapeworm with a screaming face tearing out of the belly of a dog.
Groin Attack: "Males experience a 95% fatality rate, with most survivors having an androgynous appearance with non-functional or completely missing genitalia."
Humanity Ensues: An animal that drink the fountain's water will transform into a human, though the process is usually not perfect and sometimes involves Body Horror.
Mutants: Any water that passes through SCP-1575 gains mutagenic properties. Any animal that drinks the water will undergo mutation into a human being.
Painful Transformation: When an animal drinks water that has passed through SCP-1575, it mutates into a human being. If it survives the process, the former animal describes it as being extremely painful and very unpleasant.
Terminal Transformation: Unfortunately, not only is the transformation incredibly painful, but it often ends up killing the subject due to organ failure or even massive bone fractures... or worse.

SCP-1576 - Edisonian Afterlife Communicator

SCP-1576 is a black wooden box with mechanical portions composed primarily of brass gears and cylindrical glass tubes attached to its interior and exterior, said to have been built by Thomas Edison for the purpose of communicating with the dead. 1576 is able to cause subjects to hear the voices of deceased relatives and/or friends that will attempt to keep the subject listening as long as possible. SCP-1576-1 are human subjects with an anomalous condition caused by using 1576. They are known to report headaches, unusual dreams, and experience memories of other 1576-1 instances, as well as experience the slow dissolution of their cranial tissue. This dissolved tissue settles in the nasal passages and can be expelled along with mucus, with subjects becoming additional instances should they inhale it.

Kill It with Fire: When a human being listens to SCP-1576 they become instances of SCP-1576-1: their brain dissolves and is expelled from their nostrils by sneezing. Breathing in the dissolved brain tissue has the same effect. The bodies of SCP-1576-1 instances are destroyed by incineration to prevent spread of the effect.

SCP-1577 - A Flare Gun

SCP-1577 is a flare gun identical in model to the one utilized by the United Kingdom Royal Air Force since shortly before World War II. The flare gun’s anomalous properties become apparent when fired, as its flares burn hotter, brighter, and longer than would be expected. Exactly one hour after a flare is fired, a model 685 Avro York transport aircraft, known as SCP-1577-2, appears sixty kilometers east of where the flare was fired. 1577-2 travels over the location from which 1577 was fired and airdrops a supply crate equipped with a parachute before disappearing. The crate dropped by 1577-2 is filled with supplies for military survival, which differ with every instance.

SCP-1578 - Standers

SCP-1578 are articles of clothing that spontaneously manifest in a state of unsupported midair suspension. These articles tend to appear in sets including shoes, pants, gloves, hats, upper body wear, and undergarments. Although completely unsupported, the articles give the appearance of concealing a humanoid structure underneath. They are inanimate and will cease suspension when force is applied. 1578 are usually posed in a natural standing position, with only 12% found in active poses such as running or dancing.

SCP-1579 - Different Skin

SCP-1579 is a partially-damaged wooden sculpture of a humanoid, the majority of which is covered with bright green moss that does not seem to diminish. The sculpture is wholly indestructible, with a high resistance to heat and an inability to rot. When physically touched by a human being, 1579 will shudder slightly via an unknown force. Following this, the human who touched the sculpture will immediately begin to feel a moderate burning sensation emanate from the point that they touched the artifact. Immediately after this, the subject’s skin will rapidly take on a paper-like texture and entirely peel away, revealing a new skin underneath. The new skin will invariably have features similar to various non-human animal species native to Pacific Canada.

SCP-1580 - Recycling Leaves

SCP-1580 is a Southern Live Oak tree estimated to be 65 years of age, which shows no remarkable qualities regarding its physical appearance or composition. 1580's main anomalous property is the autonomous nature of its leaves, designated SCP-1580-1, which are shed at a rapid pace. Upon making contact with a solid surface, a leaf will sprout four limbs extending from its veins. After developing these limbs, the leaf will climb the trunk in an attempt to travel to where it originally grew on 1580, seamlessly reattaching its stipule to the branch by physical contact. 1580-1 appear to display sentience, waiting for other instances to reattach themselves before continuing to climb to their branch. Preventing a leaf from reaching its branch will cause its limbs to recede back into itself and decomposition to begin. Additional leaves will begin to naturally grow on the tree if existing leaves are destroyed or removed from its proximity.

SCP-1581 - A Balanced Diet

SCP-1581 is a cohesive lump of carrots, equally mashed and semi-digested, which also contains traces of other food components, digestive enzymes, and fecal matter. Objects inserted into the lump from any direction enter an extradimensional space filled with more of the same material, apparently found within an anomalously large gastrointestinal tract. SCP-1581-1 is a 44-year-old man believed to somehow contain both 1581 and the extradimensional space it leads to. His intestines are completely filled with carrot pulp, but he experiences no adverse health effects that this condition would create.

SCP-1582 - Ant Man

SCP-1582 is an aboriginal man composed of Myrmecia regularis ants, estimated to be roughly 300 years old. 1582 is split into approximately 40,000 individual ants, not including soldiers and workers. The unique masses of drones carrying human biological matter are referred to as SCP-1582-1, never moving more than one meter from the brain. The ants will not expire if a vital organ is destroyed, but a new drone will be dispatched to the location to salvage biological matter from the destroyed organ. Upon arrival, the drone will absorb the matter into its abdomen until the retrieved liquid reforms in a sac on the abdomen and creates a new instance of 1582-1. Most of the body parts do not serve any real purpose or function, save for the eyes, ears, nose, and an assemblage of organs involved in speech.

SCP-1583 - It Only Makes Us Stronger

SCP-1583 are metallic barrels designed for use in supplying fallout shelters. When opened, the barrels will release thin, white, threadlike organisms, which will bind together in order to form a large appendage. 1583 will attempt to seize living subjects and bring them into its mass, where it will disassemble and dissolve the body within a period of hours. This organism is capable of opening 1583 on its own, if there is nothing preventing it from exiting on the other side. If a barrel is opened, the pressure exerted by the organism within all other barrels will increase proportionally, requiring additional pressure to prevent containment breaches.

Combat Tentacles: When a container of SCP-1583 is opened a large tentacle will come out, grab any people nearby and pull them into its mass, which will dissolve their bodies.
Kill It with Fire: The tentacle released by the opening of SCP-1583 can be destroyed by extreme heat, such as fire.

SCP-1584 - www.floatationdevice.███

SCP-1584 is a website formerly accessible from the domain "www.floatationdevice.███", the only information on the webpage being an image of an unmarked life preserver. As long as the website is loaded on a device's browser, the device will lose varying amounts of mass to render it buoyant in fresh water. Additionally, the webpage will automatically call local emergency services through the internet or cellular reception.

SCP-1585 - Red Queen Island

SCP-1585 is a colossal jellyfish found to be most genetically similar to the Pacific Sea Nettle. Unlike other scyphozoans, 1585’s bell constantly secretes a porous skeleton of calcium carbonate from its top layer, completely paralyzing the bell and preventing undulation. 1585 will also extend and retract its tentacles to "kite" subsurface currents, granting it mobility. Natural processes have created a small habitat on the surface of the calcified bell, as well as a recruitment surface just below the water line. Due to 1585's mobility and estimated 6000 years of age, it has managed to recruit various species of plant and animal from all around the Pacific Rim. The species who take residence on the surface evolve at an extremely rapid rate, developing drastic adaptations in the span of only a few generations. They are also capable of invading areas that 1585 passes close to.

Goal-Oriented Evolution: Creatures that live on or under the Turtle Island SCP-1585 evolve at an extremely high rate, with a further caveat that only mutations that result in "a higher level of fitness" occur, while "neutral and negative" mutations are completely unknown. In only a few generations, the resident animals have developed highly advanced mutations that make them much more effective in their ecological niches.
Meaningful Name: The SCP's name refers to the Red Queen hypothesis, which states that organisms must evolve constantly to maintain their evolutionary fitness relative to other species in their ecosystem. SCP-1585 essentially takes the effect up to eleven with the species living on it.
Turtle Island: SCP-1585 is a giant jellyfish 544 meters across. It secretes calcium carbonate, which creates a rigid surface over the upper portion of its bell and causes it to appear to be an island. Many creatures and plants live on its top layer.

SCP-1586 - Fetal Singularity

SCP-1586 is a 17-year-old woman who is physiologically normal in all regards, with the exception of slight emaciation as a result of long-term malnutrition. SCP-1586-2 is an anomalous object or entity with entirely black coloration in the shape of a twelve-week-old human fetus suspended in the center of 1586-1's uterus. The object exhibits extreme lensing of electromagnetic radiation consistent with a gravitational singularity, which it uses to continuously draw nutrients and fluids from 1586-1’s uterine lining.

SCP-1587 - Dreamland

SCP-1587 is a steel bed frame whose bottom has a metal box covered with several dozen unidentified glyphs welded to it, containing an assemblage of circuit boards, gears, coins, doll parts, and a transparent computer mouse filled with human hair. When a live human enters REM sleep upon a mattress supported by 1587, it will transport the subject and itself into an anomalous location (SCP-1587-1) which appears to be based on the subject's dream. Upon arrival, 1587 will produce a 20-second audio tone, awakening the subject. The subject will then be able to travel within 1587-1 for up to 6 hours. Subjects report being fully aware of their circumstances, having full control of their actions, and being able to physically interact with their surroundings.

Or Was It a Dream?: When the professor wakes up from his dreams he has a Fantasy Keepsake that shows that the dream was real, such as a pieces of a candy table he broke off in a Candyland setting or a jeweled necklace. It comes back to bite him when he dreams of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust: he's killed by a Nazi version of himself he brought back with him.
Sleepwalking: Every time he tries getting rid of the box attached to SCP-1587 and the means of recreating it, he finds himself the next day having put the box back in his sleep.

SCP-1588 - The Cliff Face

SCP-1588 is a section of the White Cliffs of Dover that is fully sapient and cognizant. 1588's field of vision is limited to an area of the English Channel and northern coastal France directly in front of itself, but it has demonstrated an ability to discern minor details in objects located several dozen kilometers away. 1588 is able to communicate by producing low-frequency seismic vibrations within the cliffs, which can be interpreted as speech by a human being placing their ear to the ground within 5 meters of the cliff's edge. 1588 is capable of hearing human speech within this radius and holding lengthy conversations.

SCP-1589 - Roman Anthropophagus

SCP-1589 is an acephalic, semi-bipedal creature with thick and hairless skin accompanied by a layer of protective fat, covered in heavy scarring. As its arms are significantly longer than its legs, 1589 typically utilizes a knuckle-walking gait and engages in bipedal locomotion only for short periods of time. The creature lacks a head, thus its eyes, ear canals, nostrils and mouth are all located on the torso and abdomen. 1589 possesses poor eyesight and operates primarily by smell and hearing. It is incapable of reproducing human speech, but is capable of creating and using simple tools. 1589 is typically docile or apathetic to humans, favoring individuals who have used command phrases towards it. 1589 will instinctively consume any human corpse in its presence, removing any clothing or items present on the deceased prior to consumption.

SCP-1590 - The Book of Tamlin

SCP-1590 is a one kilobyte application designed for use with touch screen hardware, calling itself "The Book of Tamlin". When a user picks "Start Game", the title screen fades to an image of a cluttered room. The user is presented with a series of tasks, directing them to find objects hidden in the image under a time limit. Once the user completes a task, they are given a set of doors to choose from to move further in the game. The tasks begin benignly, but move on to more personal natures to the subject, often ending with those that are insulting in nature. If the user fails to complete the tasks in the required amount of time, they will find themselves in an empty room. Seventy-two hours after finishing, a door the user opens will connect to what appears to be a room from the game. Attempts to follow users through said doorways have so far met with failure.

SCP-1591 - Fallen Star

SCP-1591 is a glass sculpture in the shape of a star, surrounded by 14 sheets of stained glass. All components of 1591 are suspended approximately 6 meters above the ground through an unknown mechanism. The sculpture constantly produces light with gradually increasing brightness and intensity. Any surface illuminated by1591 will appear to become inconsistently transparent, and any affected matter will disappear from observable space if not removed. Affected organisms will usually react in a panicked manner, attempting to flee from 1591's light as quickly as possible. If an affected organism ceases being exposed to the light, it will quickly fade and vanish.

SCP-1592 - Paradise Television

SCP-1592 is a television program entitled "Paradise Television", which has demonstrated the capability to cause mental and physical abnormalities. It has the general format of a televangelist program hosted by a middle-aged Caucasian man who refers to himself as "Pastor Harris". 1592 consists of a series of fifteen minute broadcasts, all of which show "Pastor Harris" sitting in an armchair, looking directly at the camera while delivering a sermon. When an individual watches a broadcast, they will become interested in the values and concepts it discusses, regardless of previous religious or moral orientations. Further viewing will result in the individual gradually becoming obsessed with the program, neglecting other social obligations in order to continue viewing it. After the affected individual has viewed between 20 to 30 broadcasts, a physical alteration will begin. If the victim is stopped from watching 1592 during a period of weeks, these alterations will cease, but any alterations already caused by 1592 will remain, notably additional limbs and sensory organs and changes to pigmentation color.

SCP-1593 - The Dragging Finger

SCP-1593 is a woman’s finger bone with several markings carved into it by a sharp implement. 1593's anomalous effects become apparent when a human being makes physical contact with it. The affected individual will perceive all objects they touch to have the texture of skin, bone, or decomposing flesh, becoming convinced at some point that one of the "corpses" they have touched has grabbed hold of the part of their body which originally made contact with 1593, believing that they are slowly being pulled towards an unspecified location. The part of the individual's body which first made contact will begin to disappear at this point, with the subject believing that any part of their body which has disappeared is in an underground location full of dead bodies, being pulled by a skeletal hand. This condition will spread throughout the body until the entirety of the individual has disappeared.

SCP-1594 - Earth's Corps

SCP-1594 are an intangible squad of United States Armed Forces servicemen, individually designated SCP-1594-01 through -08. The soldiers are currently located in the lower mantle at a depth of 1600 km beneath the surface of the Earth. Their position relative to the surface tends to follow the path of tidal bulges caused by the Moon. 1594 are capable of limited interaction with the convective currents of the mantle. When four or more of them speak synchronously, their voices are anomalously transformed into waves of seismic pressure, which act upon the underside of the crust and allow them to communicate with the surface.

SCP-1595 - Out of Time

SCP-1595 is a series of numbered, serialized messages originating from various time periods and locations. The anomalous properties of the messages stem from their anachronistic nature, as they will often be written in modern English via methods that should not be available in the time period or location from which they originate, and are always in modern English. Analysis of the handwriting indicates that they have been composed by the same person, regardless of the aforementioned chronological discrepancies.

SCP-1596 - House Fire

SCP-1596 is a nondescript matchbox containing a number of matches in average size and appearance. When a match is struck alongside the box, it will remain aflame for 26-34 seconds, at which point the flame will slowly smolder out while the match remains undamaged. The matches will also cause the "home" of the person who lit them to catch fire at precisely the moment they are lit, the fire steadily growing stronger as the match burns until the structure is completely destroyed. Attempts to subdue or extinguish the fire have proven unsuccessful, though it has been observed that the flames will not spread to the surrounding environment.

SCP-1597 - A Security Blanket

SCP-1597 is a wool blanket that can be used comfortably as a regular blanket. If used for more than approximately ten minutes at a time, a high pitched crying will emanate from the object and continue until it is able to enter into an active state, whereupon it will refer to itself as "Zoey". As well as sapience, Zoey is animate, able to attain autonomous movement via levitation. Zoey further displays an aversion to most subjects older than 10, and will often cease animation if such a subject approaches.

SCP-1598 - Unforeseen Setbacks

SCP-1598 is an organism that resembles various differing species in various stages of maturity. Apart from its limbs, 1598's surface is covered with irregular layers of skin, chitinous plates, urticating bristles, genitalia, barbs, teeth, antennae, coarse hair, prehensile tongues, and underdeveloped wings. 1598 consistently generates various appendages and internal organs at a rapid rate, which is balanced by a form of circulatory apoptosis, as organs may only last for a few weeks before succumbing to necrosis. 1598 has been observed to be extremely aggressive to staff equipped with weapons, as well as automated suppression systems. During altercations, it has shown an absolute refusal to submit to any attempt at conventional suppression, to the point of threatening its own life. When in an agitated state, 1598 will use its defensive attributes as well as its excessive strength and size in order to combat personnel. It’s revealed to actually be the mutated form of former Foundation scientist Herbert Whimple, who has a score to settle with the culprit behind his mutated appearance.

SCP-1599 - Broken Spybot

SCP-1599 is a smooth black ceramic disk 30 cm in diameter; the product of an anomalously high level of technological development that sustained heavy damage. 1599 contains a hostile intelligence that is actively engaged in espionage, able to gain knowledge of any individual whose skin touches its surface. The device is able to produce life-size ultra-high-resolution life-size holograms of humans, which it can animate in real time to portray any action it desires. As a result of extensive damage 1599 experienced, these holograms are flawed by way of missing appendages or incorrect skin color. 1599 is able to see and hear, despite not having any discernible mechanisms with which to do so, and to speak in thirty languages. However, it has also lost the ability to "subvocalize" its "thoughts", and instead provides a constant spoken commentary of its observations, conclusions, and short- and long-term intentions.
