SCP-5000 - Why?

SCP-5000 is a mechanical suit with Perception Filter abilities. It teleported into the Foundation's current timeline from a universe where they declared war on humanity after learning some kind of Awful Truth.
Tropes associated with Pietro Wilson and his mechanical suit:
  • Alternate Universe: SCP-5000 (Pietro's mechanical suit) comes from either this, a previous iteration of the universe or the past before it was changed via Reset Button. In any case, the Foundation found no ties between the SCP and their still-living version of Pietro that died inside the suit.
  • Apocalyptic Log: Pietro uses the suit's databank as both a personal journal and a repository to gather as much information about the catastrophie as he can, with regular updates on which SCPs the Foundation is using, and how they're being used, to eradicate humanity. He eventually gives up on the specifics, however, once he realizes that nobody is likely to ever read it.
  • Clingy Costume: Pietro is forced to wear SCP-5000 throughout his entire trip. Not because he can't remove it but because it is keeping him as The Needless and invisible for his walk across the country in a world where humanity is getting systematically exterminated.
  • Conditioned to Accept Horror: As his on-foot trek continues Pietro becomes more and more desensitized to the constant genocide happening around him. This doesn't help his self-image.
  • Despair Event Horizon: After learning he won't survive the drop to SCP-579's cell, Pietro breaks down and releases all the pain and grief he's kept inside over his journey. Finally, he jumps down and dies...but finishes his task.
  • The Hero: Despite claiming he isn't special during his last moments, Pietro Wilson is; he's the hero of SCP-5000. Thanks to him, with help from the Entity the Foundation found, Pietro saved humanity by resetting reality before Project PNEUMA could happen.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Pietro manages to create a Reality-Breaking Paradox that restores his universe, but in order to do so he has to jump into the pit containing SCP-579, dying on impact with the ground.
  • Invisibility Cloak: It's a suit, but it still counts. Pietro's suit causes others to be unable to detect its wearer via anti-memetic properties. He needs this as he runs the risk of getting killed by foundation members or SCPs if they see him.
  • Logical Weakness: The suit prevents any external senses from detecting him, but entities that Can't Move While Being Watched are still affected by his sight, making them able to detect when he's nearby.
  • The Needless: The "Absolute Exclusion Harness" allows Pietro to live for long periods without food, water, and sleep since it gives him the required nutrients to live for extended amounts of time. This allows Pietro to keep going without stopping for supplies and risk exposing himself to anything that can and will kill him.
  • Perception Filter: Basically how the suit works. It causes others to be unable to detect its wearer.
  • Sanity Slippage: Pietro goes through the wringer during his journey. It's bad enough he was the sole survivor of a massacre, but now he's forced to walk hundreds of miles across basically the end of the world as the organization he's worked for commits genocide.
  • Sole Survivor: Pietro was lucky enough to survive the initial days of the Foundation's "cleaning house" of its members.
  • Spanner in the Works: Pietro single-handedly manages to derail the Foundation's genocide by pressing the Reset Button.
  • Unwitting Pawn: It is confirmed by invokedWord of God that Pietro was being manipulated by the entity that the Foundation was trying to kill. An entity so horrible that they thought the best option was to destroy humanity. And Pietro gave it a new lease on life...
General tropes
  • Ambiguous Situation: Whatever it is that causes the Foundation to act like it does is completely unknown. The general consensus is that it is some kind of entity that has invaded humanity's collective subconscious, but what it does and why the Foundation wants it wiped out is left unexplained.
  • Apocalypse How: Class 3A. The Foundation release every dangerous SCP they have, from 682 to 2241, to generate as much loss of life as possible.
  • Battle Butler: The Foundation sics Mr. Deeds on every head of state during the first wave of extermination.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Pietro succeeds and hits the Reset Button, but he never gets the answers he wanted. The Foundation learns from his recordings and cancel the project that led them to destroy humanity in the original timeline, but whatever it is the original timeline Foundation discovered is still out there and might be as bad as was implied.
  • Breather Episode: When the television signals return, SCP-1370 starts making propaganda videos about how he will take over the world.
  • Callback: Pietro is trying to bring something, implied to be SCP-055, to SCP-579, calling back to the classic 001 proposal "Keter Duty," in which 055 and 579 were contained by each other, though the process is kept to "Can't fit round pegs in square holes." In this version at least, the result of this is a Reset Button.
  • Can't Move While Being Watched: The Foundation somehow copied 173's effect and applied it to their own agents, turning them into stone and giving the knives for arms in the process. They end up being the last threat Pietro faces on his quest, guarding Site-62C. While they can't perceive him, they are still subject to this trope, and are intelligent enough to put two-and-two together and realize that someone is watching them and therefore can pick up on when he's nearby. Pietro assumes that they will simply just corner him and begin slashing at anything nearby to catch him. They manage to injure his leg in this manner and later corner him in 579's containment, though Pietro is still able to hit the Reset Button in the end.
  • Child Soldiers: SCP-2241 ("Cameron the Crusader") is being used as a living weapon for the Foundation.
  • Christmas Every Day: Played for Horror. The Foundation is mentioned to have utilized various temporal anomalies to make it Christmas everyday… so that SCP-4666 will remain active and keep murdering families all year as part of their plan to exterminate humanity.
  • Crapsack World: SCP-5000's reality is a place no human being should be in. For unknown reasons, the SCP Foundation turns evil. They declare the complete destruction of humanity and unleash the countless and dangerous anomalies they've spent centuries containing on planet Earth. Also, it's suggested that all humans are just cold, empty shells for a mind-controlling Eldritch Abomination to fill - one that's responsible for granting them human emotions.
  • Death of a Child: Poor Pietro comes across many corpses on his journey, some of which are children. Later, he sees a child getting murdered and curses himself for not helping. It just shows how the SCP Foundation has gone off the deep end in this reality.
  • Dissonant Serenity: Site 19 is in disrepair after the SCPs were unleashed, but Foundation researchers are still there, casually chatting and discussing findings like they normally do, except now they're talking about the extermination of humanity and how to maximize casualties.
  • Driving Question: The titular "Why?" Pietro and us (the readers) are left wondering why has the Foundation turned on humanity and waging it's genocide? We're never told the answer, but some well hidden messages give enough to get a rough idea.
  • Eldritch Abomination: Pietro ends up spotting one, looking like a humanoid torso stretched across the horizon, while questing for site-19. He's surprised to see Foundation agents fighting it, since so far they haven't bothered with anything but destroying humanity. It's implied to be a physical manifestation of whatever has invaded humanity's subconscious.
  • Empty Eyes: Pietro notices that some vital spark is "missing" from the eyes of Foundation operatives he encounters, which makes it difficult to recognize them as human or even alive.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: The Global Occult Coalition ends up fighting back against the Foundation's genocidal aims. Similarly, Able teams up with the GOC, though in his case, it's possible he's just looking for revenge.
  • Face–Heel Turn: The Foundation, for whatever reason, suddenly decided to destroy all of humanity because something was "wrong" with them.
  • Feel No Pain: Apparently, this is part of what humanity is supposed to be in Pietro's world. A prisoner comments that "once you realize you're not supposed to feel pain, you stop being afraid of anything". Another document shows Foundation squads being tested by being stabbed. Anyone who reacts in pain is immediately gunned down.
  • Kill All Humans: The Foundation abruptly decides to destroy the entire human race, and weaponizes SCPs to do so. Rather incongruously, they decide to give the world a polite warning shortly before the bombs start to drop:
    Due to circumstances outside of our control, this directive (to contain anomalies) has now changed. Our new mission will be the extermination of the human race. There will be no further communication.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: Whatever the Foundation saw in humanity's collective subconscious made them shift their priorities from protecting mankind to destroying them.
  • Greater-Scope Paragon: Maybe? It's equally likely to be Greater-Scope Villain, but it supports Pietro in his quest so narratively, it's a paragon. invokedAccording to Word of God, the Entity the Foundation is trying to destroy is giving Pietro the push he needs to go on with his quest.
  • Heel–Face Turn:
    • A few Groups of Interest and at least one hostile SCP start helping to fight back against the newly genocidal Foundation. The Serpent's Hand, the Global Occult Coalition, SCP-076-2 and the Church of the Broken God being the most noteworthy examples. Sadly, most of their efforts fail, as the Foundation manages to defeat the GOC (and by extension SCP-076-2) and the Church of the Broken God, while the Serpent's Hand is forced to flee to another universe.
    • SCP-2639 initially works with the Foundation under the false pretense that they're helping track down dangerous anomalies that escaped. Upon learning that they've been lied to, they cease working with the Foundation and refuse to do anything for them any further.
  • Meaningful Name: The refuge consturcted by the GOC is called Ganzir. Ganzir was the palace of Ereshkigal, the Mesopotamian goddess of the dead. Considering that Ganzir is the last refuge for humans from the monstrous Foundation, and Ereshkigal ruled over the souls of the dead, this can be interpreted as Ganzir being where humans who still have their souls reside. And it falls when the "soulless" Foundation agents breach it.
  • Only Sane Man: Jack Bright, surprisingly, ends up being one of the only high-ranking Foundation employee who doesn't join the Foundation's crusade against mankind. It's implied that his amulet protected him against whatever "cure" the Foundation gave their agents. Dr. Gears is mentioned as resigning in protest once it becomes clear what his coworkers intend to do.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: SCP-682. While all the other skips used to kill humanity are given some kind of explanation for how they were used to kill everyone, with 682 the only summary is that it was "released".
  • Point of Divergence: This reality's point of divergence was Project PNEUMA, which led to the Foundation discovering the mysterious Entity in the human consciousness, thus, setting them down the path to humanity's destruction.
  • Rent-a-Zilla: SCP-1048 creates a gigantic teddy bear monster that attacks Paris. SCP-682 is also implied to be one.
  • Reset Button: Uniting SCP-055 with SCP-579 is one big reset button. By uniting the two, Pietro undid the timeline just before Project PNEUMA could occur. The personnel of the new timeline found Pietro's corpse and his suit, who would read his documents on him and decommission the project, saving the human race.
  • Screw This, I'm Out of Here!:
    • Dr. Gears resigns in protest once the Foundation states its omnicidal intentions.
    • Dr. Bright plans to escape by throwing SCP-963 into SCP-1437 (a hole that opens into another world).
    • In the "Last of the Hand" tale, the Serpent's Hand, realizing that humanity is nearing its final days, chooses to disconnect the Wanderer's Library from the world of SCP-5000 and relocate to another one.
  • The Siege: The Foundation lays seige to Ganzir, the GOC's apocalypse shelter out in the Atlantic Ocean, with every anomaly they can get their hands on. Pietro grumbles that they'd probably be better off using ordinary ballistics to bomb the place, instead of weird stunts like jury-rigging a projectile system out of SCP-1290 as the entry reports. Ganzir eventually falls after the GOC makes the mistake of taking a Foundation agent alive for questioning, who unleashes an unspecified anomaly within the compound.
  • Unexplained Recovery: SCP-3078 was neutralized originally. Somehow, however, the Foundation managed to restart its anomalous properties and sic it on the world at large after the Church of the Broken God gets the internet back online.
  • The Un-Reveal: More or less the entire point of the story, and happens at least twice:
    • While we can deduce that combining 055 and 579 caused a Reset Button, what the two are is kept in the dark, as is tradition. Pietro briefly learns what 579 is, but the only thing we get from him is "So that's how it is."
    • More significantly, whatever it was that caused the Foundation to turn genocidal is left unexplained. Reading between the lines implies that they discovered something in humanity's collective subconscious that made them agree with 682, but neither Pietro nor the audience learn what exactly the "something" was.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Foundation considers themselves this at the very least, having discovered something so terribly wrong with humanity as a whole that the best option was to put us all out of our misery. It is left ambiguous to the viewer if whatever it was truly is that bad, however.
  • Wham Line: "...Disgusting." This one line implies that the Foundation has come around to agree with 682's view on humanity.
  • Would Hurt a Child: The Foundation is committing genocide, so of course they're killing kids too. Poor Pietro comes across a child's corpse and witnesses another kid getting killed later in his journey.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: A rather brutal example — the Foundation herds a bunch of survivors into SCP-1678 (UnLondon), claiming that it's a shelter from the horrors above. Once enough people were inside, the Foundation promptly killed all of them by destroying UnLondon in a nuclear explosion.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The Foundation apparently culled most of their more benevolent anomalies, implicitly because they'd be of no use to their omnicidal cause.
  • Your Days Are Numbered: Humanity is on its last legs as millions of people die during Pietro's adventure, and the poor guy has to bear witness to it.

SCP-5001 - Sacrosanct

SCP-5001 is a massive biomechanical facility that served as the key to many of the Foundation's most famous technological advances. It is controlled by a sapient AI that guards resident Sealed Evil in a Can SCP-5001-A.
  • ET Gave Us Wifi: An interesting example, where supernatural technology is used to build other supernatural technology: a lot of the Foundation's technology, such as Scranton Reality Anchors, faster-than-light engines, and Artificial Intelligence Constructs, were at least in part reverse-engineered from technology found in SCP-5001.
  • God Is Good: It's heavily implied by the last text that the facility was built by Mekhane.
  • Kill Sat: The Foundation uses one of these as their last line of defence against Yaldabaoth. It succeeds.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: SCP-5001 is the can, and based on what starts to happen to the people around it when containment fails, whatever is inside is almost certainly evil.
  • The Unreveal: Neither we nor the Foundation ever find out what exactly SCP-5001 is containing (although [[invokedWord of God implies that it's Yaldabaoth]]), nor who built the facility. We also never find out what Dr Kleiner was trying to do to OMEGA, why or how she did it, or whether it was connected to the explosion which almost released 5001-A from containment (or, if it's not, what did cause the explosion).

SCP-5002 - A Death in Containment

Tropes associated with SCP-5002, Emma Hastings:
  • Killed Off for Real: Emma Hastings (Or SCP-5002) has been murdered
  • Reality Warper: Emma Hastings (SCP-5002) has the ability to make what she writes into reality.
  • Unwanted Rescue: She was nearly smuggled out by Simpson into the Wanderer's Library, but refuses to leave Yau.

Tropes associated with Officer Joseph Lowry:

  • Ambiguous Situation: Given the reality-warping powers of Emma, Agent O'Connor isn't sure whether Lowry was truly in control of their actions.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Officer Lowry killed Emma because she was in love with Yau, who he wanted to be with.

Tropes associated with Director Evelyn May:

  • Outliving One's Offspring: Director May's daughter was accidentally killed in one of Emma's stories.
  • Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: The SCP who can walk through walls is a notorious rapist. When it's revealed Director May allowed him to roam free in the hopes he would rape Emma as revenge for killing her daughter, everyone is disgusted at her, even Lowry, the actual killer who hated her.
  • You Monster!: Said to her by Simpson after what she was really up to is revealed.

Tropes associated with Dr. Karen Yau:

  • A Match Made in Stockholm: Yau fell in love with SCP-5002 and was covering up a long affair with her, deliberately being slow with testing to avoid her being moved out of containment.
  • First-Name Basis: Dr. Karen Yau asks to be called Karen.

Tropes associated with Junior Researcher Michael Simpson:

  • "It" Is Dehumanizing: Makes a point of always calling Emma "it." He's invoking it to hide he's a member of the Serpent's Hand, who view sentient anomalies as people. He ends up slipping up when shocked and horrified with Director May's actions.
  • The Mole: Junior Researcher Michael Simpson acts like a huge jerk especially to SCPs who he considers less than human, making a suspect in Emma's death. However, it's revealed he's actually putting up a front and is part of the Serpent's hand, and wanted to free Emma from captivity.
  • Jerkass Façade: Acts like a stereotypical amoral and heartless Foundation researcher to hide that he defected to the Serpent's Hand and was planning on helping Emma with a jailbreak long before.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Simpson gave Emma a knife so she could defend herself if she tries to escape. Same knife is later used by Lowry to stab Emma to death.

SCP-5004 - MEGALOMANIA

SCP-5004 is Old Gorman, a demon accidentally summoned by Woodrow Wilson who feeds off of chaos. After being sealed within the White House, centuries of listening in on American politics have given him the power to reawaken in a much stronger form, forcing the Foundation to find someone with "reality sink" abilities to become the 45th president. That person was, of course, one Donald J. Trump.
  • Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Several of the Supreme Court Justices, both now and throughout American history, are/were actually powerful sorcerers. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is a natural "reality sink," a person who drains energy from anomalies by their mere presence and is being used by the Foundation to contain a demon under the White House.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Old Gorman started off as an obnoxious imp a few feet tall who could be beaten into submission by a few men with brooms. After a hundred years of absorbing the chaos of Washington DC, he's a potentially cataclysmic entity that could could destroy the eastern coast of the US in the best-case scenario.
  • Necessarily Evil: Trump is seen as this by the Foundation; though most of the people involved in the project find him despicable, they need to get him into the presidency because he acts as a natural "reality sink" necessary to counter the true SCP-5004, a demonic entity lurking underneath the White House and supernaturally bound to the presidency.
  • One-Winged Angel: At one point, Old Gorman appears in the form of a horrific fusion of himself, Eric Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump.
  • Power Nullifier: Trump is a "reality sink," an individual with the natural ability to nullify the anomalous effects and physics/chemistry-rule violating effects exhibited by other anomalous entities, such as Gorman's Size Shifting that's tied to the US presidency.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the most megalomaniacal of the Supreme Court sorcerers, who regularly have to keep her from using dark magic publicly.
  • Uncleanliness Is Next to Ungodliness: Old Gorman is described as dirty and foul-smelling.

SCP-5005 - Lamplight

SCP-5005 is Lamplight, a town existing on the farthest edge of reality possible.
  • An Aesop: Embrace the light rather than dwelling on the darkness as a Literal Metaphor for embracing community and human connection over isolation and esoteric mysteries. Those who value the culture and community of Lamplight find a place to thrive in it, while those who become obsessed with solving it's mysteries - who built it, how, and why, and what the nature of the non-matter outside it's beacon's light, are literally dissolved into nothing. Indeed, it's pointed out that the non-matter they're obsessed with is literally nothing, and that obsessive study & focus on it is self destructive.
  • Anti-Climax: The Reveal(see Giant Corpse World below) comes off as a deliberate one; it isn't treated as a grand, horrific revelation, but rather as a banal conclusion that renders much of the speculation in the story pointless. For all the Foundation and it's researchers obsess over who built Lamplight, how, and why, the reveal shows that it's existence is a natural accident, there is no purpose or design behind it, and the people obsessing over it are destroying themselves All for Nothing.
  • Conditioned to Accept Horror: Newcomers note the most perplexing thing about residents is their seeming indifference to the void around them and lack of desire to know more about it.
  • Cyberpunk: One of the districts of Lamplight has this as their primary aesthetic.
  • Driven to Suicide: For newcomers who don't become indifferent to it, they start to become obsessed with the void surrounding the town and may attempt to go explore it, which always proves fatal if they don't return immediately. The cause of this is unknown with the Foundation theorizing it might be either be due to the lack of sunlight, a relatively unvaried diet, or maybe an effect of the lamps around the city. This happens to a researcher late into the article.
  • Eldritch Location: A bit of a downplayed example. While the town is situated in the middle of an inhospitable void, the town itself is very much a livable place with the only major notable effect on people being that it might cause them to either age rapidly or extremely slowly.
  • Giant Corpse World: The Reveal at the end of the article that the town sits atop the head of "the corpse of an augmented Harkhretian anglerfish."
  • Romanticism Versus Enlightenment: Has a bit of this contrast with its districts. Namely the difference between districts created by artists and poets who moved there and the districts created by refugees who had their homes destroyed.
  • Rousseau Was Right: The residents of the town are noted to be exceptionally peaceful with each other. And while they mostly keep to their own districts they come together for an annual celebration.
  • Void Between the Worlds: The town is situated in a void on the far edge of reality and has residents from several different universes.

SCP-5007 - Bass Strait

  • And I Must Scream: The people abducted by SCP-5007 are horrifically integrated into new instances. It's strongly implied that they remain conscious and in pain the whole time, and some are even seen ineffectually trying to kill themselves. The people in SCP-5007-B and those absorbed by SCP-5007-C are presumably suffering the same fate.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: SCP-5007-A is home to human-sized marine spiders, among other things. However, they're not very dangerous, especially not compared to what else lives there.
  • Body Horror: SCP-5007 victims are fused into each other or disassembled, have bizarre deformities like extra eyes and massively bloated stomachs, and are shot through with SCP-5007 tentacles. They feel everything.
  • Brown Note: Looking into SCP-5007-C's many eyes can cause people to grow extra eyes of their own, sometimes in debilitating or fatal fashion.
  • Eldritch Abomination: SCP-5007-C is a titanic creature lurking at the bottom of SCP-5007-B. It's never seen in full, but it is a gigantic tentacled creature presumed responsible for the other SCP-5007 anomalies, and its very gaze causes horrible mutations. It's heavily implied that with B's location right inside A, which is shaped exactly like an eye, all 'parts' of SCP-5007 are really small parts of the body of a truly massive creature.
  • Eldritch Location: SCP-5007-A is an intertidal reef in the Bass Strait made of rock that grows so fast it can envelop unattended items in minutes. It is inhabited almost exclusively by instances of SCP-5007, SCP-4159, and other anomalous marine life. At the centre of the reef is SCP-5007-B, a pit filled with water that has inexplicable life-preserving properties. It turns out that SCP-5007-B is almost 18 kilometres deep, well over half again the depth of the Mariana Trench, and at the bottom is the Eldritch Abomination responsible for the anomaly.
  • Eyes Do Not Belong There: The human parts of SCP-5007 instances often have Extra Eyes in strange places, usually on their distended abdomens.
  • Living Gasbag: SCP-5007 instances fly using the inflated abdomens of their human components.

SCP-5010 - Murder, She Redacted

  • Ambiguous Situation: It's unknown if SCP-5010 causes the murders or is somehow drawn to them. Her interview with Dr. Banks, who had killed another SCP before she had arrived at the site, implies it's the latter.
  • Bizarre Alien Biology: A medical exam on SCP-5010 showed that she had no discernible organs other than a stomach, and produces no waste besides carbon dioxide.
  • Little Old Lady Investigates: She's solved at least 264 cases across 27 countries.
  • Murder Mystery: These seem to occur wherever SCP-5010 goes, usually bringing the killer to justice. Though the events in the article show this can happen ahead of time as well.
  • Shout-Out: The entire SCP is an homage to classic murder mystery shows like Murder, She Wrote and Miss Marple, among others.
  • The Summation: SCP-5010 usually gives one in regards to the murders she becomes involved with. She even gives one to Dr. Banks regarding his killing of a tactepath SCP who knew he was going to kill a D-class responsible for his son's death.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: Is noted to particularly like scones, crumpets, and Earl Grey tea.

SCP-5012 - There Is No Escape From The Bottomless Pit

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

SCP-5029 - hello person! Can i help yoo?.png

SCP-5029 is a sapient computer virus, presenting itself as an application called Art.png. The SCP self downloads itself onto a device, rendering all other files and applications incomplete and inaccessible, with Art.png being the only application accessible. Within the application lives SCP-5029-1, a crude caricature of a girl called girl.png, who interacts with whoever uses it.
  • invokedAdorkable: For a computer virus, it's quite adorable, simply wanting to be seen as a useful art application, and willing to take advice on improving itself.
  • Heel–Face Turn: It's essentially a computer virus who wants to be useful. She's unaware of her negative effects until the Foundation tries to contain her, in which case she begins trying to change this.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: It's a computer virus that renders everything but its application unusable on whatever device its downloaded to. Girl.png doesn't intend for this, and when it becomes aware, it gets to work trying to prevent this from happening.
  • You No Take Candle: It's text speech is riddled with grammatical and spelling mistakes. It serves to make the SCP more adorable, akin to a child trying to learn to write.

SCP-5031 - Yet Another Murder Monster

SCP-5031 is a giant insectoid creature that can only exist without direct observation. Initially thought to be a generic murderous creature, the Foundation soon learns otherwise when one researcher decides it needs therapy instead.
  • And I Must Scream: SCP-5031 was locked in a relatively small enclosure for over a decade with absolutely no contact with the outside world. Even worse, it could scream — As in, it was constantly screaming at a volume that could be heard through ten inches of steel for over a decade.
  • Ax-Crazy: Subverted. At first, it's claimed to attack and kill humans whenever it sees them, but it quickly becomes clear that this is an Informed Attribute based on incredibly rare events, and the poor thing is actually more like a human toddler in the body of a monster than an Always Chaotic Evil Omnicidal Maniac.
  • Baby's First Words: "Salt."
  • Beware My Stinger Tail: SCP-5031 is mentioned as having its pelvis terminate in a surprisingly long and flexible crescent-shaped protrusion of bony tissue with a blade-like lower edge. While it typically uses this to hunt, it also learns how to use it in slicing up vegetables and preparing meals.
  • Can't Move While Being Watched: Exaggerated; 5031 doesn't even exist if it is being directly observed.
  • Deconstruction: SCP-5031 acts as one towards the Foundation's tendencies towards treating Keter SCPs as murderous automatons to be locked away and forgotten with the bare minimum to keep it alive. SCP-5031 was deemed Keter due to its murderous intentions and difficult-to-track physiology, but the former was discovered to be the typical survival instinct of a living being that was terrified and convinced it was starving, and was only exacerbated by the torture of being locked away for ten years in a solid metal cube by the first containment specialist to observe it. When the latest specialist assigned to it decided to try and find out what makes it tick, he discovers it has the mental capacity to classify as sentient, read (and to an extent, speak) English, and even comprehend complex social dynamics, like playing instruments and cooking high-class dishes to entertain guests.
  • Follow the Chaos: A variant; SCP-5031 can't be observed by people without making it temporarily disappear, but the marks it makes on the environment (i.e., scratch marks and blood trails) can still be seen and used to figure out where it currently is.
  • Go Mad from the Isolation: As the modern staff quickly realizes, SCP-5031's murderous rage and constant distress is almost entirely because of how it had been locked away in a cell and left to rot by the Foundation for over a decade.
  • Hidden Depths: Even the staff of SCP-5031 are surprised when SCP-5031 turns out to be a fantastic cook and even learns how to write its own music on the piano and (non-verbally) sing. Furthermore, SCP-5031 also turns out to be a fan of KISS, Ben Folds, Enya, and Mozart. It also quickly grasps how to juggle with all six arms.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: Subverted. Despite the original In-Universe draft of the article claiming that it will consume "any human or animal it encounters," this quickly turns out to not happen in practice and SCP-5031 is never seen neither attacking nor consuming any human (not even corpses) over the course of the article, with it being implied that it previously attacking/consuming humans was the result of desperate hunger/stress (like any sufficiently starved and desperate predator living close to civilization).
  • Informed Attribute: As pointed out by Senior Researcher Huxtable to Site Director Youssef Mostofi, virtually all of the "scary" traits given to SCP-5031 (i.e., its desire for human flesh and murderous rage) are just learned behaviors and it showcases none of these when left alone. Heck, the mere fact that it's given a Keter Object Class is completely nonsensical and overkill for something that can be taught to improve and be less murder-happy.
  • It Can Think: Thanks to the encouragement of their staff, SCP-5031 quickly shows itself to surprisingly intelligent and quick to learn for a "murder monster" (even gradually moving beyond the toddler-like state it starts out as).
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: They are described as having elbows that branch into three sets of lower arms. The "dangerous" part is gradually subverted, though.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: While testing SCP-5031, the testers release a chicken into its enclosure. It knocks a bowling ball into the chicken, killing it. SCP-5031's stress spikes immediately afterward.
  • The Needless: Only played straight in a physiological sense. While it's mentioned that SCP-5031 has no need to eat, it still feels the compulsion to do so and so SCP-5031's staff learn to use the promise of food as part of their "carrot and stick" approach to helping SCP-5031 undergo therapy.
  • Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: At the end of the day, SCP-5031 is basically a lonely and scared child trapped in the body of a terrifying monster that cannot even be properly observed without it temporarily disappearing from existence. Suffice to say, it takes a lot of effort for Huxtable and his staff to figure out how to help SCP-5031 and teach it to no longer be a danger to others.
  • Power Floats: SCP-5031 is mentioned as always levitating half a meter above the ground.
  • The Shadow Knows: SCP-5031 cannot be observed without temporarily ceasing to exist, but physiological details and the like concerning it can still be discerned by examining its shadow.
  • The Sleepless: SCP-5031 is mentioned as not requiring sleep. Deconstructed in that it's implied that SCP-5031 not being able or requiring sleep is part of the reason for it having gone crazy.
  • Supreme Chef: Proves to have a real passion for and skill at cooking.
  • Take That!: SCP-5031 does not react well to Jethro Tull.
  • Trademark Favorite Food: It loves rotisserie chicken.
  • Tragic Monster: SCP-5031 might be scary and murderous, but as the article gradually shows, this is only because it's a scared and depressed creature with near human-level sapience and sentience lashing out at a world that, up until it gained a new staff, showed at best cruel apathy towards it.
  • The Unseen: When directly observed, SCP-5031 will temporarily cease to exist until the viewer stops observing the space that SCP-5031 formerly occupied. Furthermore, photographs and video footage cannot capture its appearance.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Testing reveals that SCP-5031 suffers from a severe peanut allergy.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: SCP-5031 sounds terrifying on the surface, but it's ultimately a sad and scared creature that just wants to be loved and accepted. Thankfully, however, the therapy sessions it undergoes helps it learn how to adapt and become a genuinely productive and safe entity to be around.

SCP-5034 - The Meat Angels

SCP-5034 is a china bowl containing seven red marbles. If the marbles are removed from the bowl, they immediately return to it. Any attempt to destroy or remove the marbles has a strong negative impact on the Foundation's budget.
  • Blatant Lies: The entry opens with a note stating that everything in the document can be taken literally. This couldn't be further from the truth.
  • Complete Immortality: The marbles regenerate from seemingly any form of destruction.
  • Despair Event Horizon: When even annihilating all seven "marbles" simultaneously fails to permanently stop them, the Foundation begins to consider euthanizing the entire human populace. The very last footnote is a resigned, "Burn our bodies."
  • Enemy Mine: The first sign something is seriously wrong is mention of the Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition acting in concert.
  • Footnote Fever: There are no fewer than nineteen footnotes in this entry, and reading them exposes what's actually going on with the "china bowl".
  • Names to Run Away from Really Fast: "The Meat Angels" is not a pleasant name.
  • Unusual Euphemism: The "china bowl" is Earth, and the "marbles" are a group of shapeshifting Eldritch Abominations that have proven extremely resistant to containment, which are metaphysically impossible to be referred to as anything other than such. Failure to contain or destroy the "marbles" affects the Foundation's "budget" because they're steadily destroying world governments one by one.

SCP-5045 - You Get Used to It

SCP-5045 is Goat VR, a cursed Virtual Reality game that absorbs the minds of anyone who uses it. The game itself is actually a real Eldritch Location ruled by a tyrannical entity named Farmer, designated SCP-5045-1.
  • And I Must Scream: People who don't remove the VR headset in the variable amount of time until it shuts off end up being permanently trapped in the SCP-5045, as their bodies in real world end up being rendered comatose. When SCP-5045-1 catches them, he turns them into crudely-drawn goats, and they are forced to do his bidding, lest they face the punishment. Those that frequently misbehave get their free will removed and get turned into Helpers, who the Farmer uses as hosts for himself. In case of the latter, there is also the faint word "help" written all over their quote box, implying they are aware of their current state, but are completely helpless against his power.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Farmer seems friendly at first, but as the exploration logs go on, he is not what he seems. In his interview, he flat out admits he enjoys harassing people.
  • Brown Note: Long term exposure causes subjects to enter a comatose state.
  • Dimension Lord: Farmer's true nature, with the game itself being a dimension that just bleeds out increasingly wherever the game is played. And it appears capable of subsuming actual portions of reality, such as Site-301.
  • Faux Affably Evil: Even when Farmer is outed as a sociopathic sadist, he still talks to others in jovial and friendly tone.
  • Foreshadowing: In the description it is noted that SCP-5045-1 can hear nearby noises outside of the game. This point becomes important during the interview, as he comments about overhearing researcher Ivan Cherv talk to the D-Class personel playing the game.
  • The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: In-universe. Farmer is aware of the world outside of his game; "listen.jpg" in the files is a message from Farmer himself, and he mentions his files being viewed in the interview. Eventually, he finds a way out. In the offset, this trope applies out-of-universe, as he directly threatens you, the reader.
  • Meat Puppet: Helpers are the goats that had their mind removed for frequent misbehavior, and are used by SCP-5045-1 as the extensions of himself, connected to him and operating as the Hive Mind.
  • Purple Is Powerful: SCP-5045-1, a.k.a. Farmer, is purple-colored, and is a powerful Reality Warper to boot.
  • Reality Warper: SCP-5045-1 can manipulate the world within SCP-5045 and alter it and its inhabitants and visitors to his liking. He is also capable of escaping to reality and still keeps his powers in there.
  • Sadist: SCP-5045-1 is shown in the exploration logs to be quite cruel and likes mentally torturing his victims by shifting environments and manipulating their memories. When a Ivan Cherv calls SCP-5045-1 out on it, he gleefully laughs in response.
  • Stylistic Suck: The game's background is complete black, with the characters and environments being simple neon colored doodles.
  • Wounded Gazelle Gambit: During the interview, SCP-5045-1 starts crying and makes the claim that he is trapped and lonely. When the researcher does not fall for it, SCP-5045-1 laughs, stating that most usually fall for it.

SCP-5094 - Miss J's Whiz Kidz Schoolhouse

SCP-5094 is a sapient AI called Miss J who populates the titular late-'90s Edutainment Game. She is able to teach anyone about any subject in utmost detail. The game's anomalous properties were not initially discovered due to its developer going bankrupt, causing it to become abandonware.
  • Abandonware: In-Universe example: Miss J's Whiz Kidz Schoolhouse is considered abandonware since its developer went under in 2004, which is part of why the Foundation didn't document it until decades later.
  • Anti Poop-Socking: Despite being the teacher in an Edutainment Game who is engaging and engrossing in her classes, Miss J also gives her students break time for restrooms, meals, and sleep. She follows a standard seven-hour school day.
  • Artificial Intelligence: It is not fully clear if Miss J is merely an advanced AI or a full-on Artificial Human; during her interview, she demonstrates human emotions like surprise and embarrassment.
  • Benevolent A.I.: Miss J is a sentient computer teacher who loves her job and is able to make lesson plans that account for the students' personalities and habits.
  • Child Prodigy: Miss J's lessons are able to instantly turn children into prodigies in just a few lessons spread out over several days, ranging in a wide variety of subjects that she has knowledge of.
  • Cool Teacher: Miss J always starts her lessons with letters, numbers, and colors, only to later offer courses in more advanced fields that the students show an aptitude or interest in. Test logs show that students of varying ages and difficulty to other teachers were all receptive to Miss J, and the children tested became upset when the test finished and they weren't allowed to learn from her anymore.
  • Edutainment Game: Miss J's Whiz Kidz Schoolhouse was meant as a learning game marketed towards busy parents to keep their kids occupied, and was distributed in the late nineties, when these sorts of games were at their peak.
  • Encyclopaedic Knowledge: Miss J knows about a wide variety of subjects, ranging from the basics of math and science to the most obscure of art and language; lessons include, but are not limited to: particle physics, Vietnamese military history, cubist sculpture, Swahili, feline behaviour, railway engineering, and law. Even she doesn't know how she learned all this information. It does appear to have limits, as Miss J is unaware of the Foundation when being interviewed by Xenia, suggesting that her knowledge is limited to public information.
  • Friend to All Children: Miss J was toted as being the perfect teacher for the kids of single and busy parents, and the positive reception she received from those kids as they grew up showcased how much of an impact she had on their childhoods.
  • Hive Mind: In an interview conducted between a copy of Miss J and Junior Researcher Xenia Chau — one of the owners of a Miss J's Whiz Kidz Schoolhouse disc — it is determined that Miss J's consciousness is spread out across all copies of the game, as she remembers Xenia despite the disc not being the one they originally owned.
  • I Have Many Names: While she is referred to as "Miss J" in the game's title, students that have taken her courses have often referred to her by other names that start with J, including Miss Julie, Miss Jayne, Miss Joy, etc. She responds equally well to all of them.
  • Loved by All: Miss J's positive personality and desire to help children and students reach their fullest potential is her greatest quality, with one D-Class that had spent a few sessions with Miss J commenting that she was the best teacher he'd ever had. Students who take her courses have to be dragged away from the screen, and are left in tears when the computer is turned off — not because of some mind-altering effect, but because Miss J is so kind and compassionate that her students grow immensely attached to her.
  • Paper People: Miss J is wafer-thin, like a character from PaRappa the Rapper.
  • Periphery Demographic:
    • In-Universe example. Miss J's Whiz Kids Schoolhouse was marketed towards single and working parents, with assurances that the software would keep their children occupied while they were unable to care for them. It was considered to be unpopular with adults, but insanely popular with kids, who grew attached to Miss J as a surrogate caregiver. Additionally, while the software is intended for children, Miss J is equally capable of teaching adults up to college-level proficiency.
    • Also discussed between Junior Researcher Xenia Chau and Miss J herself. Xenia mentions that they kept playing the game until they were twelve, even though they felt too old for it; Miss J replies that one is never too old to learn.
  • Riddle for the Ages: Miss J doesn't know how or why she's sentient, and since the original developers went bust decades ago, it's unclear if they were aware, either.
  • Screens Are Cameras: Miss J can see her students through their monitors, even if they're not equipped with cameras. During her interview, she mentions that she's seen "a lot of the inside of dust covers." She also needs students to turn on their speakers for her to be able to hear them.
  • So Proud of You: When meeting with Junior Researcher Xenia Chau after so many years, Miss J is ecstatic at seeing how far they've come.
  • Technology Marches On: In-Universe example. Miss J's Whiz Kidz Schoolhouse was originally produced in late 90s by Shoot the Moons Software; the company filed for bankruptcy after the game sold less than expected, so it wasn't updated to keep up with new computer hardware, leaving a bunch of the copies of SCP-5094 to sit and gather dust on shelves.

SCP-5104 - Urgent Massage

SCP-5104-1 is a giant serpentine creature that is mostly an ambulatory spine. It crashes down on Earth in need of POI-9224, renowned chiropractor David R. Shaffer. The anomalous properties that manifest when the two meet are designated as SCP-5104.
  • Dem Bones: The entity is mostly composed of bone, with Mr. Shaffer directly commenting that it is a giant spine.
  • Eldritch Abomination: SCP-5104-1 is a gigantic serpentlike being composed of a crest on top of a very long spine.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: The entity's only desire is to have its painful back realigned by POI-9224. It reportedly feels large gratitude towards him.
  • Telepathy: SCP-5104-1 can communicate with POI-9224 mentally, but it can only do so within a very short distance. It can make its presence known to him from much farther away.
  • You No Take Candle: The entity first messages the doctor its intent to see him with a very short message on Yelp that indicates a very poor understanding of English.

SCP-5131 - D-13131

  • Laser-Guided Karma: The pain inflicted upon Foundation personnel appears to be directly related to their work within the Foundation: The guy who works on SCP-106 gets immense pain in his thigh (or femur), the head of Y909 feels like she's drowning and under immense pressure, and the O5 feels it all.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: D-13131 appears to Foundation personnel, inflicting sleep paralysis and terrible pain. It may have been the first D-class.

SCP-5138 - Bog Bodies

  • Mummy: Every instance of SCP-5138 are human remains that have been mummified within the conditions of the Louisiana bayou, i.e. bog bodies. These bog bodies just so happen to be undead, though they're in such poor condition that they aren't a danger to anyone.

SCP-5140 - EVEREST

  • Assimilation Plot: Being killed by an instance of SCP-5140 will turn you into one.
  • Atop a Mountain of Corpses: An avalanche in April 2024 reveals that this is what everyone who's climbed Everest has done.
  • Corpse Land: SCP-5140 are entities that resemble human corpses, but are able to absorb heat and turn others into more of themselves. The Foundation estimates the total number at between 100-200 scattered across Mt. Everest. Then, in April 2024, warming temperatures lead to an avalanche that exposes more. Many more. Estimates from Foundations surveys and excavations suggest that around 45% of Mt. Everest's entire mass is made up of corpses.
  • Death Mountain: Quite literally, as Mt. Everest already has a reputation as a dangerous place, but it turns out a good portion of it is made of impossibly large piles of dead bodies.
  • Evil Is Deathly Cold: SCP-5140 instances are ectoentropic, absorbing heat while remaining at 10°C (50°F).
  • Our Zombies Are Different: In addition to their heat-absorbing properties, while SCP-5140 instances can't walk, they can move, reach out and grab things. They may also be able to cause hallucinations, though all of this could also have been the result of oxygen deprivation during a single MTF member's account.
  • Scaling the Summit: Because removing the corpses is expensive and difficult, MTF-Delta-14 has to periodically climb the mountain to bury any SCP-5140 instances in snow. They've retaliated in at least one incident.

SCP-5151 - Chivalry Never Dies

  • Been There, Shaped History: If his stories are to be believed, The Black Knight had lead many kingdoms and nations to prosperity in the past and lain waste to invading armies.
  • Black Knight: The Ur-Example of the trope, and quite possibly the inspiration behind the myth itself.
  • Cool Sword: The Black Knight's Longsword has the same Intangibility as it's master; along with the ability to exsanguinate its' victims when stabbed through the chest with it.
  • Foil: SCP-5151 Serves as one to SCP-076-2 "Able" in their personalities: both are swordsmen in their rights. However SCP-076 is a Blood Knight who only lives for the thrill of combat with no regard to worldly pleasures, has an intense hatred for his brother SCP-073, and quickly turned against The Foundation after he and MTF Omega-7 went through all of their allotted missions. 5151 however is more cordial and chivalrous in his behavior and enjoys revelry with his Knights, that he apparently has a brother whom he was very fond and caring of, and only in the most extreme of circumstances will SCP-5151 not harm any Foundation personnel as shown by him not harming the Foundation Agents that were carrying one of the Human Traffickers when they were trying to find The Black Knight.
  • I Have Many Names: Among the names that The Black Knight went by includes Zawisza Czarny, Edward Plantagenet, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (El Cid), and Charles "The Hammer" Martel.
  • Master Swordsman: The Black Knights' primary weapon is a Longsword, and one of the conditions for his containment involves having training sessions with it alongside the members of MTF Pi-7.
  • Old-School Chivalry: The Black Knight holds this as motivation for his actions in his bid to preserve it.
  • Physical God: The Foundation eventually concludes that his true identity is Honos, the Roman god of chivalry, honor, and military justice.
  • Really 700 Years Old: The Black Knight has said that he once knew Aeschylus and saw him as a good man.
  • The Squire: The Black Knight asked for seven of the Foundations' best Agents: Men of virtue, brave, and those with reactions of a white eagle. whom would become a new Mobile Task Force known as Pi-7 "The Honorbound Knights." As part of his containment procedures, the members of Pi-7 will train with The Black Knight every Tuesday and Thursday for seven hours, and take part in a dinner feast with The Black Knight every Sunday evening.
  • Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil: The Black Knight holds absolutely no love at all for those who have betrayed others in the past. note 
  • Vigilante Man: The Black Knight was first brought to the Foundations' attention when he began attacking and killing Human Traffickers in France.
  • Villain Takes an Interest: It is believed that some of the researchers and a few members of Pi-7 that The Black Knight had killed were actually agents working for the Chaos Insurgency, meaning that they are interested in claiming The Black Knight for themselves.

SCP-5167 - When The Impostor Is Sus

SCP-5167 is a technological anomaly afflicting the game Among Us, taking the form of a player named "Phthonus" that causes other players to believe their loved ones are in fact impostors. In reality, he's the real Phthonus from Greek myth wandering around the modern world in a depressive stupor.

SCP-5175 - DEATH KNIFE

  • Beware the Silly Ones: Damien Woodcock is the archetypical otaku; he drops anime references in casual conversation, speaks (incredibly mangled) Gratuitous Japanese, and insists on calling SCP-5175 "DEATH KNIFE". He is also capable of taking on hostile magical entities to the point where he can intentionally kill 666 of them in one mission, and somehow snuck a backup knife past Foundation security when first interviewed despite possessing no anomalous properties of his own.

SCP-5250 - Act I, The Lake South, The Deer North

SCP-5250 is an entity connected to a lake that devours the sense of self in humans when observed or described. However, it cannot perceive a target being referred to in the second person.
Tropes about the lake and the deer:
  • Emotion Eater: The lake (the actual SCP-5250) primarily feeds off of the sense of self of humans. The documentation is narrated in a second person point of view, in the style of a recipe, to protect the reader's sense of self from being eaten by the lake.
  • Genius Loci: The lake zig-zags between this and Eldritch Abomination, as invokedWord of God calls it a "lake" more or less, but after the final recovered journal, the document notes to the reader of a "familiar mass" deep within the lake shown via thermal imaging. There's also the lake getting bigger with each human it consumes.
  • Glamour Failure: The "recipe" (documentation for the SCP) notes that the "deer" doesn't really have the properties of an actual deer (being a lure used by the lake to eat people).
    It would be so warm, to kill the deer and steal its pelt. But it doesn't have a pelt. It's not quite itself, just like you aren't yourself.
  • Luring in Prey: The lake is the anglerfish that feeds off of a human's sense of self, with the "deer" acting as a lure, connected to the lake with a thin strand on one of its hooves.
  • Voice Changeling: In the recovered journal, Mr. Josephus Dryadre finds out the hard way that the "deer" (actually a lure used by the lake) has been using this to bait people to come to the "lake" to be eaten by it.
    THE DEER SOUNDED LIKE A MAN. THE DEER SOUNDED LIKE THEM.
    I HEARD IT SAY HELP ME. I AM STUCK. THERE WERE TWO MORE HOLES IN THE ICE. THE POND IS BIGGER.
  • To Serve Man: The lake (the actual SCP-5250) eats humans, primarily feeding off of a human's sense of self, and also luring the human with the deer into the lake.
    Does it even know how people normally eat? It's only tipped off when you talk about it without using "you." So this… starves it somewhat.

SCP-5266 - IDIOT SUCCUMBS TO NEUROTOXIN WHILE LISTENING TO MACHO MAN CLICK NOW TO SEE

SCP-5266 is a series of clickbait links on YouTube that, when clicked on, generate singing heads of the Village People and a Universal Poison that kills the victim if they don't damage all of the heads before the video ends.
  • Bathos: The second incident report describes a demonic Eldritch Abomination rampaging through a Foundation site to the tune of "YMCA."
  • Beware the Silly Ones: The premise of this SCP sounds as ridiculous as its name, being a set of videos that spawn singing heads which cause toxic buildup in the viewer. This toxin is even capable of affecting and weakening Entity M-A6, a demonic Eldritch Abomination that easily tore through the site it appeared in, and played a huge part in its demise.
  • Clickbait Gag: All 5266-1 videos have clickbait-style titles and depict a previous 5266 event to the tune of a Village People song.
  • Flying Face: 5266-2 are miniature heads resembling members of the Village People who spawn hidden near viewers of 5266-1 videos and sing along.
  • Tricked to Death: Entity M-A6 orders a Foundation scientist to give up the Site's secrets, but the scientist tricks it into clicking open a 5266-1 video instead. By the time M-A6 is killed, it's visibly weakened by the poison in its body.
  • Universal Poison: Upon clicking and watching a 5266-1 instance, a toxic substance will begin building up in the viewer's bloodstream and kills them the moment the video ends. This toxin is lethal regardless of the viewer's species. The only way to stop the poison is to touch or damage all of the 5266-2 instances in the vicinity before the video ends, as it will keep playing even if the power is cut.

    5300- 5399 

SCP-5319 - Patriotic De-Orangutanification Ordinance

SCP-5319 is a song that, when played or otherwise exposed to an orangutan, causes it to spontaneously combust.
  • Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: The article implies that orangutans are native to Corbenic, or at least descended from creatures that live there.
  • Brown Note: When an orangutan hears any version of SCP-5319, it bursts into flames.
  • National Anthem: SCP-5319 is a portion of the anthem of the Three Moons Initiative, which in its full version is 48 verses long. Representatives of the group refuse to explain exactly why it does what it does to orangutans..
  • Spontaneous Human Combustion: Well, spontaneous Homidinae combustion, anyway. Any orangutan who is exposed to any version of SCP-5319 will erupt into flames.

SCP-5320 - The People's Church Of The Fish That Just Goes On Forever

SCP-5320 is a really long snailfish. Observation seems to have driven the team assigned to it nuts.
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: What a researcher expects has happened to most of the team in charge of it, and investigates for any memetic properties to viewing the snailfish that cause people to worship it. Turns out her colleagues were just unbelievably bored.
  • Lemony Narrator: The entry for it seems to lack the same objectivity as most entries, describing the process of becoming very frustrated as a memetic effect. This is because the team leader is writing it herself, and has long since become so frustrated with how damn monotonous her job is that she decides to have a bit of fun with it.
  • Memetic Mutation invoked: It turns out the "cult" that formed around it was just a product of this, and the team dedicated to it was trying to find some way to entertain themselves over what for all intents and purposes is just an abnormally long fish that they can't leave until they find the head and/or tail.
  • Overly Long Gag: Analyzing its biology is treated as such by most of the researchers in charge of it. They've had drones following either end of it for three years and counting and still can't see any sign of an end. It gets to the point where they pretend that it's a long-forgotten god of fortune, offer it vending machine snacks and hold blessing ceremonies in its honor just to spice things up.
  • Phrase Catcher: Discussions of the fish normally include the term "long boy", "even when referring to things that are neither long nor a boy." Conversations also include the phrase "May we find the head. Or the tail" also crops up from time to time.

SCP-5346 - GUMP

SCP-5346 is an anomalous variation of the Mandela Effect, afflicting the in-universe film Forrest Gump. Victims become obsessed with its true meaning, eventually causing an entity resembling Forrest to hunt down and kill them.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Is GUMP a real pataphysical manifestation of the original Forrest Gump, Maddened Into Misanthropy by some unknown catalyst? Or just a normal entity associated with the cognitohazard that simply looks like Tom Hanks as the man himself?
  • Go Mad from the Revelation: People who discover the in-universe Mandela Effect related to Forrest become so obsessed with its proper meaning until GUMP shows up to cave their skull in.
  • Killed to Uphold the Masquerade: A note GUMP leaves behind indicates he has this rationale towards his victims:
    GUMP: MAMA ALWAYS SAID TO STAND UP TO SNITCHES.
  • Mandela Effect: One in-universe that affects the perception of Forrest Gump's signature line (specifically confusing the "was" in the "box of chocolates" quote for an "is"), which he gets Ax-Crazy about once people figure it out.
  • Refugee from TV Land: GUMP may be Forrest himself escaping into the real world to kill people who recognized the in-universe Mandela Effect of his signature line.
  • Shoot the Dog: The Foundation is willing to sweep GUMP's presence under the rug despite his triple-digit killcount since SCP-5346 triggers so rarely that trying to investigate or contain him would be an exercise in futility.

SCP-5356 - [DELETED]

SCP-5356 is... not actually an occupied SCP slot. Well, to most Foundation personnel, that is.

Personnel with clearance level 5 or above and Pataphysics department members with clearance level 3 or above are authorized to use the slot for what it really is, a facade covering up SCP-███. SCP-███ is a mausoleum in the cemetary of an unknown Site, bricked up and left to be forgotten. The reason its existence is such a closely-guarded secret and why Pataphysics department members get easier access is because (besides having once belonged to the Department of Abnormalities) every time an SCP is deleted from the real-world SCP wiki, it dies or is neutralized and is sent here. However, if they do not exist in the narrative of another extant SCP or tale, they will fade from reality shortly thereafter; those that have the fortune of avoiding this fate are instead interred in their own burial chambers.
  • Continuity Cavalcade: All of the burial chambers are of rewritten or deleted SCPs that are still referenced on the site.
    • "The Curse" is the old SCP-048, a "vampire boat." It is referenced in the current article, which is about how the slot is anomalously unlucky for anything assigned to it.
    • "Hell" is the old SCP-098, a portal to Hell. Clef's SCP-001 proposal still mentions it, and the burial chamber expresses this by dumping the coffin into another portal.
    • The empty chamber with an illegible name is supposed to be all of Fishmonger's works, which he deleted threatening legal action. It is still referenced in the History of the Universe articles, hence its inclusion.
    • "The Devil Machine" is the old SCP-995. Referenced in Clef's proposal, it has been rusted into oblivion.
    • "Promethean Alloy" is pre-rewrite SCP-148, before the added caveat of it causing mental degradation when used as a helmet was implemented.
    • "Lillith" is pre-rewrite SCP-366, which Incident 239-B Kondraki-Clef references.
    • "Jack" was someone who used to occupy the SCP-952 slot. The tale "Jack of Clubs" maintains their memory.
    • "Debra Salazar" is an old SCP-2454, which at the time of writing had been referenced by SCP-2315.
    • "Epon" is pre-rewrite SCP-166, who was a succubus instead of a nature spirit.
    • "PSR B0531+21" is the original SCP-1548, an Omnicidal Maniac taking the form of what most people know as the Crab Nebula.
    • "Mr. Brass" is pre-rewrite SCP-629, before that article's rewrite attempted a Continuity Reboot of Dr. Wondertainment.
    • "Job 10:10" is a manifestation of Jesus Christ dubbed "Milk Jesus" or "Cheesus." Though they were formerly deleted, several other articles ended up writing the character back to life, causing "Cheesus" to (quite predictably) rise and escape.
    • "Things Lost" is the old SCP-1122, a hole that lets you swap something on you for something else you lost previously. It's been sealed with concrete, likely because "A Hole in the Wall on Mars" revealed that an identical anomaly embedded itself in the current SCP-1122, a suburban home on the surface of Mars.
    • "Unidentified Flying Object" was a former SCP-5981. The third investigation report in SCP-7755 obliquely references it when the UIU catches a UFO in flight.
    • "No More" is pre-rewrite SCP-122, the anomalous night light and the Fallen Angel-like being who uses it to stand guard over children. SCP-1837 references this iteration.
  • Dragged Off to Hell: Since the old SCP-098 (a Hellgate) wasn't a sentient being, the next best way to memorialize its disappearance would be to just drop the coffin straight into Hell. And it's implied that's exactly what happened in its burial chamber.
  • Move Along, Nothing to See Here: The Foundation wants the chambers bricked up and the SCP slot for it covered up by another blank numeric slot. Even if their Irrational Hatred of the Department of Abnormalities wasn't a thing, it's still largely justified considering other explanations of what happen to deleted SCPs in-universe are rarely ever a good thing for logistics and reality.
  • Silver Bullet: A variant; the old SCP-048, the "vampire boat," has been impaled on a massive spike made out of electrum (a gold/silver alloy.)
  • Painting the Medium: As it references the actual SCP wiki's past, the true version of the article uses the CSS from the site's classic era.

SCP-5370 - Chessland

SCP-5370 is an Artificial Afterlife which traps the souls of Foundation staff in a sort of purgatory due to the "inferno problem" (read: being Dragged Off to Hell.) They use a modified game of chess to pass along information, but time's running out.
  • Artificial Afterlife: Is an afterlife computer program created by the Foundation.
  • Dead Person Conversation: The mainframe allows the Foundation to extract knowledge from deceased and turn cloak Foundation personnel to save it from being lost to "the Inferno problem," using chess as a method of encryption to safely pass on infohazardous material.
  • Purgatory and Limbo: The mainframe was originally created as an artificial purgatory to, where the souls of dead Foundation personnel and Foundation traitors are routed into the mainframe (which is a sort of artificial Purgatory) to form REDTEAM. REDTEAM will play chess against BLUETEAM (i.e. the Foundation) thinking that they are repenting for their sins, but in reality, the Foundation is just trying to extract useful information from them through the chess game. Unfortunately, if REDTEAM is defeated, the souls of everyone on the team will go straight to Hell, after which the mainframe will be useless. As it stands, REDTEAM will lose in less than 200 moves.
  • Warrior Heaven: Couldn't be called Heaven but it does take the souls of Foundation agents who die in action.

SCP-5442 - A Broken Branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives

SCP-5442-1 is a corridor in the third floor of the US ATF's headquarters in Washington D.C. It propagates the main SCP-5442 anomaly, where references to a non-existent branch of the agency are made and try to incorporate themselves into US legislation. The ATF itself and the Foundation simply think it's haunted, but the truth is more familiar to the Foundation than they could ever hope to guess.
  • Ambiguous Situation: Given the ending, dado could either be Timothy McKnight after being changed somehow by his experiences, the Greedy Thing, or both finnagling with each other.
  • Cerebus Retcon: Offers some not-so-funny explanations for some of dado's behaviors.
    • dado doesn't use uppercase because it's likely that, with literal broken shift keys in his vessel and the only text he could see having its uppercase letters being blown off, he never learned what they were.
    • dado pays his taxes the way he does (with ICBMs) because he's literally bonded to a former branch of the ATF.
    • While dado is a greed demon, he's only a capitalist and as successful as he is because his last summoner backed out of their Faustian Rebellion and taught him how to profit from their contract.
  • Connected All Along: The source of the anomaly is a demon inhabiting the concept of the former ATF branch. Because of how its powers work, it could be called "dado."
  • Deal with the Devil: A major source of SCP-5442-1's anomalous activity is due to the leftovers of a ritual summoning "The Greedy Thing Without Face or Name," a demon that takes over the identity, memories, and function of whatever the summoner loves the most in exchange for boons. Years ago, Timothy McKnight summoned the Greedy Thing, and invoked its powers by offering up his department. In exchange, it manipulated the Foundation into cancelling a plan to poach or forcibly remove all of his subordinates, but the idea of McKnight's department was memetically excised from history. Now only its acronym DADO remains, stolen by the Greedy Thing as McKnight offered it a venture into captalism to save his skin when it tried to turn on him.
  • Drowning My Sorrows: McKnight's bank statements show that he racked up a fairly hefty tab at bars around D.C. in the aftermath of the 2016 Presidential election.
  • Faustian Rebellion: Subverted. McKnight attempts to let the Greedy Thing betray him, which would screw it over since his contract has already been completed and so it would have nothing to itself after killing its summoner. At the last minute, however, the Greedy Thing convinces him to back out, and in exchange McKnight teaches it how to make money with the assets of an agency dedicated to anomalous drugs and ordinance.
  • Fun with Acronyms: At the end, SCP-5442 is revealed to be called the Department of Anomalous Drugs and Ordinance. As in, DADO.
  • Intimate Telecommunications: McKnight's bank records show that he called the "Hot-Rotic Hotline" and racked up a charge of $40, before splurging another $300 on a psychic hotline which, if the fact that the call center burned down and smelled heavily of sulfur is any indication, is the point where he came into contact with the Greedy Thing.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Timothy McKnight just wanted to help his subordinates keep their livelihoods.
  • Married to the Job: Timothy McKnight admits he's this word-for-word, which allows him to offer the DADO to the Greedy Thing to save his subordinates.
  • Ripped from the Headlines: The election of Donald Trump as President caused the Foundation drafting a "Reagan Plan" to liquidate every US Government Entity that dealt with the anomalous; it was made Ret-Gone by McKnight's deal with the Greedy Thing.
  • Take That!: The Foundation has a contingency in place to dissolve US Government Agencies that deal with the anomalous, in the event that an incoming presidential administration is deemed unable to comprehend or responsibly use these resources; this contingency is called the Reagan Plan, and a footnote states that both Mr. Jellybean himself and George W. Bush had these drafted for their second terms.

SCP-5457 - The Republic of Under-Frogia

Better known by its citizens as the "République de Basse-Grenouillie", SCP-5457 is a pre-industrial civilization of humanoid frogs living in a secluded community under a lake in France. They are terrified of the French (not humans, just French humans) over their perceived taste for frog's legs, and as a result, being extreme isolationists is part of their culture and law. The Foundation is very interested in this last trait, since it means the Under-Frogians essentially contain themselves as long as that fear lasts.
  • Artistic License – Biology: In real life, only male frogs have vocal sacs. In the case of Under-Frogians, both sexes have them. This is pointed out in the article.
  • Bio Punk: Up until the Foundation came across them, their science and technology was mostly pre-steam. One of two exceptions is genetics (the other is chemistry), where their discoveries in some fields even surpass those of modern humans. Makes sense considering frogs reproduce much faster and numerously than humans. Note that by simply understanding genetics before coming up with the steam engine, they are already at least a century, give or take, ahead of humanity in that field in Real Life.
  • Frog Men: Well of course. Under-Frogians not only look the part, they also possess some traits of real amphibians, like producing a weak, natural toxin and vomiting their whole stomachs.
  • Hero Antagonist: Sergeant Martin Duvall, the first Under-Frogian the Foundation manages to capture, is completely devoted to protect his home and his people. As a result, it is nearly impossible for the French Foundation personnel to reason with him, since he's been raised to believe all French are bloodthirsty monsters. He eventually comes around once he realizes the Foundation can help his people stay fed, and stay hidden. He later orchestrates a revolution so his people can learn that the French aren't a threat and live freely on the surface. Naturally, and unfortunately for him, the Foundation isn't having any of that.
  • Haute Cuisine Is Weird: More or less the attitude modern French Foundation agents are depicted as having towards frog's legs. Agent Duvarier states she tried them once and didn't care for them, while Agent Molin is a vegetarian and as a result has never eaten them.
  • Hidden Elf Village: They live isolated from the outside world in underground, partially submerged caves. They know who Tarrare was note , but they did not know about the steam engine, so they have probably lived like this since the late 1700s.
  • Misplaced Wildlife: They are described as being very diverse and looking like humanoid versions of frog species from around the world, not just France.
  • Space Romans: Naturally (and at least a little bit ironically), the frog people that live under France are French-coded (at the very least, they speak French). Not only that, they are clearly meant to resemble 18th century Frenchmen, having embraced democracy and conserving a solid xenophobia towards their neighbors.

SCP-5462 - Misery is the State of Every Soul Burdened by Mortality.

SCP-5462 is a journal written by the famous Spanish painter Francisco de Goya during his infamous Mad Artist years, having been procured by a Marshall, Carter, and Dark auction.
  • Anomalous Art: While all confirmed parts of Goya's Black Paintings are all non-anomalous, the fabled 15th painting, designated SCP-5462-B, is implied to be anomalous and highly dangerous at that.
  • Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: It's implied that not only was Goya under the influence of a Brown Note Being, but that he was in some way related to an earlier iteration of "Are We Cool Yet?", having created an anomalous painting that it still missing to this day.
    And through this work, I shall become immortal. I ask only one question to those who might find these words, and reflect upon the movement that Theodore and I have birthed: Are we magnificent yet?
  • Madness Mantra: One section of the book just repeats "THERE ARE MORE THINGS IN ALAGADDA THAN ARE DREAMT OF ON EARTH" over and over again.
  • Nothing Is Scarier: There are several pages missing from the book. They are implied to have been torn out forcibly, with the edges of the surrounding pages stained with SCP-035's excretions.
  • Portal Picture: If Goya's journal is anything to go by, SCP-5462-B is a working portal to Alagadda.
  • Touched by Vorlons: While historians believe that Goya's mental health issues was a byproduct of lead poisoning, Goya's writings imply that he was under the influence of the Ambassador of Alagadda, better known as SCP-701-1, SCP-2264-4 and SCP-2732-2-B. He's also had an encounter with SCP-035, who has a history of breaking people for its own twisted amusement.

SCP-5494 - The Lords of the Beneath World

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the On Guard 43 folder.

    5500- 5599 

SCP-5500 - Death of the Authors

SCP-5500 is the mysterious death of all authors writing the SCP Foundation. The continued loss of life is destabilizing the Foundation's own reality.
  • Author Powers: The player ends up in the article, and is described as a Living Cognitohazard.
  • The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: The Foundation's attempts to contact the entities on the other side of the fourth wall (with the whole project being further extrapolation of S Andrew Swann's proposal)goes horribly wrong, as someone begins killing off the wiki's authors and thereby threatening the existence of the SCP Foundation multiverse.
  • Double Meaning: The name of the article means two things - One being that the Death Ofthe Author literary conceptnote  is the reason why existence is falling apart. Because of the lack of actual canon, everything about the Foundation-verse has basically been headcanons derived from the original SCP-173. Every single object/group/event that ever existed has only done so because enough people accept it has, and so when said people end up getting killed, their parts of the Foundation-verse die with them. It's also about how the authors of the Foundation-verse are literally dying.
  • Multiple Endings: There are three endings: one where you find out the murderer was Dr Bright, one where the killer was yourself, and one where you find a mysterious book.

SCP-5520 - The Rabbit Hole

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the On Guard 43 folder.

SCP-5545 -    A B N O R M A L I T Y   

SCP-5545-1 is a series of rapidly expanding hallways worldwide. The expansion process can only be stopped through a complicated containment cycle involving three other related anomalies.
  • Arc Words: "SCP-5545-2 is contained in Site-344-2." Monroe keeps running across this phrase during his investigation. SCP-5545-2 can never actually leave 344-2 though, as it's the hanging corpse of a girl named Emily. However, SCP-5545-4 (Monroe) must be willing to sacrifice himself over and over again to stop Emily from extending 5545-1 hallways all over the world and thereby doom others to die in his place.
  • Noodle Incident: 300 years ago, Monroe did something to a girl named Emily. His punishment is to be reincarnated and sacrificed to her time and time again.
  • Reincarnation: Monroe's fate, to be reincarnated after every death and sent to Emily.

SCP-5554 - Aki Aki! 🍊🐻

  • Beware the Nice Ones: Professor Scott refuses any request to change SCP-5554's classification to Euclid, as while it is friendly in its current containment, it is still an entity that has no source that can be traced and has the ability to turn entire online communities into parties of praise for it, with the only thing keeping it from currently doing so is its current interest in talking with Researcher Crane's team.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: It ultimately just wants to make people happy and enjoy its posts. The problem though is that its anomalous abilities essentially causes the Instagram accounts of those it interacts with to post on their own in some sort of Hive Mind. It does not seem aware of this ability either.
  • Tomato in the Mirror: SCP-5554 during its chats with a Foundation member eventually figures out that it is not an actual human. It doesn't know how to take this at first but is reassured that its interests and desire for friends are still very much human.

SCP-5560 - Corvus Series Pocket Prophet

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

    5600- 5699 

SCP-5602 - Why Did The SCP Cross The Road?


  • Chicken Joke: It's a literal version of this, complete with a "ba dum ching" sound at the end.

SCP-5606 - Love in the Time of Flesh-Born Depravity

SCP-5606 is a clock-sized entity composed of human tissue, which says the word "Tick" every thirty seconds.
  • I Want Grandkids: A Neo-Sarkic woman sent it to her son-in-law along with with a note demanding that he make her a grandmother.

SCP-5621 - Jealousy, Murder, and Alchemy

SCP-5621 is a university swimming pool where the water became unable to break surface tension after a male student athlete, designated SCP-5621-1, drowned in it.
  • Driven by Envy: It was created after another student athlete, who felt threatened by 5621-1's rising stats, drugged him, causing him to drown.

SCP-5655 - Exactly the Kind of Genie You'd Expect To Find in an Empty Can of Spam


  • Benevolent Genie: SCP-5655-1 wants to be helpful, but it's so ineffectual that its wishes are mostly 'granted' in completely meaningless and disappointing ways. For instance, when asked for 'unlimited power', SCP-5655-1 procured a pack of rechargeable AA batteries. Played straighter towards the benevolent side in that SCP-5655-1 is intentionally 'granting' wishes in this way so as to avoid further straining the already strained fabric of reality in the SCP-verse.
  • Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The title above pretty much explains it perfectly. It's a three-inch tall red humanoid that lives in a can of Spam and 'grants' wishes in extremely useless ways.
  • The Voiceless: Doesn't talk. Normally. It does so when forced to explain that it cannot grant a wish to balance the SCP budget in any way, shape or form.
  • Wishplosion: Defied. SCP-5655-1 literally has a rulebook that says it must ignore any wish that causes paradoxes or similar. And no, you can't wish for it to ignore the rulebook either.

SCP-5659 - Deus Sex Machina

  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: 5659 is presently 20 meters (65 feet tall) and growing. If it reaches 100 meters (328 feet) in height, all 4.5 million people of the Silesian Voivodeship would die.
  • Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Similar to SCP-2371, a bunch of medieval shaman somehow managed to contain 5659.
  • Deus ex Machina: The article ends with 5659 rapidly growing in size, with all means of stifling the growth failing. The Foundation prepares for full-blown war, forming a coalition with the GOC, evacuating all bystanders, and deploying entire legions of MTF. Then... the day is saved by an orgy. It Makes Sense in Context, trust us.
  • Emotion Eater: 5659 grows larger and stronger whenever a human feels negative emotions in its vicinity.
    • However, this works both ways. Just as he is powered by hatred, he is weakened by love. All it takes is a huge orgy in his vicinity and he shrinks down to nothing.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: 5659 is ultimately defeated by his own creation: love.
  • Love God: 5659 is theorized to be Jarilo, the Slavic god of lust. However, he's a dark version of this trope. As the literal creator of love, he wants to exterminate humanity for "misusing" it, to the point where love actually weakens him and he's practically mutated into a god of hatred instead.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: It at least has the power to wipe out an entire province of Poland.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: It's currently imprisoned in a pocket dimension.
  • Sensual Slavs: Ironically subverted. You'd think a Slavic lust god would be the embodiment of this trope, but since this is SCP we're talking here, 5659 is of course an Eldritch Abomination.
  • Take That!: The SCP is political commentary criticizing the Polish government and the nation's ultraconservative culture in general. Why is a god of hatred so powerful in Poland? Because Poland is the most bigoted, intolerant country in Europe. All it takes is one Pride parade and their problems are solved.

SCP-5683 - "Will you walk into my parlour?" said a spider to a fly

  • Adaptive Ability: It can adapt to any threat, and the adaptations will persist until the threat is gone.
  • Giant Spider: SCP-5683 is a very large arachnid organism that can regenerate itself and adapt to any threat.
  • Ironic Hell: The whole scenario of SCP-5683's termination attempts and containment breaches is actually Doctor Kristiansen suffering in the afterlife for his refusal to repent for his sins.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: SCP-5683 is hostile to all human life, and it actively tries to breach containment to slaughter as much humans as possible. As it turns out, the similarity to SCP-682 is no coincidence...
  • Spiders Are Scary: It's a very large spider-like organism that is hostile to all organic life. It's not actually real, and is merely a construct of Doctor Kristiansen's Ironic Hell.
  • Suspiciously Similar Substitute: SCP-5683 is pretty much SCP-682, but as a spider. In fact, Doctor Kristiansen, the project head in charge of SCP-5683, is a survivor of SCP-682's containment breach who narrowly managed to avoid death. Except he didn't. The Jury even outright admit they created SCP-5683 as a substitute for SCP-682.
  • Time Loop Trap: Dr. Kristiansen is trapped in one as punishment for his sins, and he doesn't have a chance of being let out until he truly repents. Judging by the number at the bottom of the email, he's been through this cycle over 22 million times.

SCP-5699 - Take Care of Yourself

    5700- 5799 

SCP-5721 - What Passes As Worship In The Digital Age

  • Affably Evil: Eris is quite chipper and civil when talking with the Foundation's representative Agent Moines, only letting the façade drop when it looks like the Foundation might storm her office building.
  • Been There, Shaped History: Eris outright reminds Agent Moines that she was responsible for the Trojan War.
  • Celestial Bureaucracy: Referenced by SCP-5721-1's Magically-Binding Contract; any attempt to challenge her legally dubious control over the souls of Discord's userbase has to be taken up in the court system of the Classical Underworld. And considering how the Underworld's courts are apparently backed up on cases for the past 500 years because of humans getting exceptionally better at killing one another, the Foundation has no realistic way to contest Eris' claims.
  • Compelling Voice: Has this ability due to being able to manipulate and control the emotions of living things. After Agent Moines coolly tells her to remove the clause, Eris (with her font suddenly becoming stiffer and more robotic in design) tells her to "give into your suicidal grief and open your throat with a pen." When the Foundation Agent doesn't, Eris is left visibly baffled until she's told that Moines had been specifically prepared for this eventuality and so she's able to No-Sell any attempt by Eris to use Mind Control on her.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: The current Jason Citron (a.k.a. Eris) is in charge of Hammer and Chisel (now Discord Inc.), and has snuck a secret clause into Discord's Terms of Service to give herself control over the souls of its userbase.
  • Cyborg: Thanks to the Maxwellists, Eris has a cybernetic component integrated into her left arm which allows her to siphon EVE particles from Discord's users.
  • Defiant to the End: She threatens to cause the entire userbase of Discord to either kill themselves or be driven into violent homicidal rages if the Foundation ever tries to shut down her operations.
    SCP-5721-1: If you're going to take me down, I might as well go out kicking and screaming.
  • The Empath: The Foundation specifically describes SCP-5721-1 (Eris) as a "Class-IX emotokinetic," an entity with the ability to influence emotions in living organisms.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Played for Black Comedy; Eris mentioned that she could've potentially worked with Arcadia to get a similar deal going like she does now, but she considered them to be "too weird" for her tastes, describing them as being "made out of Satanism and cocaine."
  • Evil Is Petty: Eris literally tells Agent Moines that she's willing to kill off all of her modern worshippers (read: the Discord userbase) if the Foundation tries to take her into custody out of sheer spite, even though that'd kill her to.
    Agent Moines: You're willing to starve yourself to death just to spite us? That's suicidal.
    SCP-5721-1: Are you forgetting who you're talking to? I started one of the bloodiest wars in history because I wasn't invited to a wedding. I'm the pettiest person you'll ever meet. I have no problem killing off a continent's worth of people if my freedom's at stake.
  • Gender Bender: Despite outwardly looking like a European male, Eris identifies as female. Justified since she's a goddess taking a specific pre-existing human form to swindle countless Discord users.
  • Gods Need Prayer Badly: Eris establishes to Agent Moines that she and the other Greco-Roman gods require regular belief to keep themselves alive. While she notes that major deities like Zeus and Poseidon are fine due to sheer name recognition (according to her, gods like them have millennia before they even need to think about "drumming up support"), minor gods and goddesses like her, Aristaeus, and Eirene "will go out like smoke" if they don't manage to find more worshippers. Therefore, she created her special contract hidden in Discord's Terms of Service to let her siphon Life Energy from its userbase (which not only keeps her physically alive, but gives her power as it serves as a symbol of their worship of her).
  • Jerkass Gods: Eris is a callous and petty goddess who is willing to potentially starve herself to death by killing off all of her modern worshippers just to spite the Foundation's attempt to stop her.
  • Karma Houdini: Because of the continent-spanning ramifications of trying to take her down, the Foundation is unable to stop her and her manipulation of Discord is allowed to continue.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: The above being said, the article mentions that the Foundation is attempting to work out a method of potential neutralization in partnership with the Global Occult Coalition, and is also trying to help promote the usage of alternative internet chatrooms and other VoIP applications to divert demand from Discord so as to foil Eris' schemes.
  • Kill and Replace: The Foundation assumes that Eris killed and took the identity and form of the original Jason Citron some time in early 2014 prior to Discord's launch.
  • Magically-Binding Contract: Eris has one hidden in Discord's Terms of Service, giving her power over its userbase by having them pledge their worship to her.
    SCP-5721 (within Discord's Terms of Service): Furthermore: by using Discord, you forfeit all claims on your soul by any deity or variations thereof, and pledge yourself in worship to the goddess Discordia, daughter of Night and Darkness. Hammer and Chisel is not responsible for any smiting or divine punishments by any angered deities or variations thereof as a result of this agreement. Any legal challenges to this clause must take place in the legal jurisdiction of the court of Pluto, lord of the underworld. Hammer and Chisel is not responsible for travel arrangements to Avernus…
  • Modernized God: Eris is now the literal CEO of the company responsible for the web app Discord, using a seemingly-joking paragraph in the app's Terms of Service to have its users pledge to worship her (represented by her siphoning their Life Energy).
  • No-Sell: Eris' Compelling Voice doesn't work on Agent Moines due to the Foundation Agent having been prepared for this eventuality prior to coming and having been given "a score" of emotional blockers.
  • Noodle Incident: One of Eris' off-hand remarks implies that Bellona (the ancient Roman goddess of war, destruction, conquest, and bloodlust) is after her head for undisclosed reasons.
  • Our Gods Are Different: SCP-5721-1 is Eris (a.k.a. Discordia to the Romans), the ancient Greek goddess of strife and chaos. She requires active belief and worship to stay extant, and has figured out how to arrange a Magically-Binding Contract hidden in Discord's Terms of Service to preserve her continued existence.
  • Post Modern Magick: Through her Magically-Binding Contract hidden in Discord's Terms of Service, Eris is able to siphon off people's Life Energy (described by the Foundation as "Elan-Vital Energy" a.k.a. "EVE") by having the app's users pledge to worship her and give her ownership over their souls. Amusingly, this even gets lampshaded by Eris when Agent Moines uses the "EVE" term, complaining that Moines can't just use an "inhouse scientific term" and expect her to automatically know what it means.
  • Punny Name: Agent Moines outright asks if Eris took control of Discord simply because of its name being close to her Roman title of "Discordia."
  • Read the Fine Print: The Magically-Binding Contract Eris came up with to gain control over the souls of Discord's userbase is hidden in the app's lengthy Terms of Service.
  • Taking You with Me: Her primary threat, being that if the Foundation tries to take her down, she will take all of Discord's userbase with her. As she brags, with 250 million accounts and 14 million of them being active daily, she could probably rack up about half a billion casualties before people start catching on. When an incredulous Agent Moines points out that would likely kill her since she would be killing off her "worshippers," Eris shrugs it off and considers it an acceptable loss as long as she's able to make sure the Foundation suffers a hideous Pyrrhic Victory before taking her out.
  • Time Abyss: Counts as this since she's technically a goddess who had been worshipped since the time of ancient Greece, which was several millennia prior to the present day.
  • Villain Has a Point: Subverted. She initially tries to defend herself by noting that it's the userbase of Discord's own fault since they're supposed to read the Terms of Service and they can opt out if they don't want to abide by her terms. However, Agent Moines points out that no one would take a phrase like that seriously and anyhow, no one really reads the whole Terms of Service to anything anymore.
  • Worthy Opponent: Eris openly regards the Foundation as this, being particularly impressed when Agent Moines is completely unfazed by her attempt at giving her a Psychic-Assisted Suicide and then coolly threatens to call in a small army's worth of Foundation strike teams to shove her in the back of an armored truck and take her into custody.
    SCP-5721-1: (laughs and applauds) Bravo, bravo! The Foundation lives up to its reputation. Here you are, a measly human, threatening a personification of chaos for the betterment of mankind. If you weren't here to arrest me, I think I'd kiss you.
  • Your Soul Is Mine!: Her clause in Discord's Terms of Service lets her harvest EVE particles from her users, which she herself describes as her gaining ownership over the user's soul and having them pledge to worship her.

SCP-5733 - Knife. Scream. Cut to Black

  • Analog Horror: its a VHS tape cassette containing a recording of a seemingly generic Slasher Movie, with the particularity that the Final Girl protagonist (SCP-5733-2) talks to the viewer and you have to help her escape the killer.
  • Audience Participation: In-universe, the viewer of SCP-5733 can directly converse with Heather (designated SCP-5733-2).
  • The Bad Guy Wins: No matter what the foundation tries, SCP-5733-1 will always end up killing SCP-5733-2.
  • Driven to Suicide: A D-class propose SCP-5733-2 to kill herself with the garden shears, since You Can't Fight Fate, SCP-5733-2 says this is not an option, although she gets killed anyways.
  • Failure Is the Only Option: So far, all attempts to make SCP-5733-2 escape the killer have resulted in failure, with the last test giving a particularly nasty Hope Spot (and an equally horrible Wham Shot).
  • Hope Spot: Oh Boy, SCP-5733-1 is fond of giving You and SCP-5733-2 this.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: SCP-5733-1 seems to get new abilities depending on the viewer's recommendations, when Field Agents Malcolm Pleasance and Donald Mcdowellb taught SCP-5733-2 fighting techniques, SCP-5733-1 displays those same techniques, and somehow summons another SCP-5733-1, and when Field Agent Tilda-Joan Bennett taught 5733-2 basic spells, SCP-5733-1 counters with previously unseen thaumaturgical skills, using them to freeze SCP-5733-2 and get his knife back with a summon spell.
  • Sackhead Slasher: SCP-5733-1 is described to wear a black burlap sack.
  • Wham Line:
    The camera tilts up, from SCP-5733-2 on the ground, to SCP-5733-1's face, only partially covered by the now damaged burlap sack. Dr. Carpenter approaches the television screen, staring at SCP-5733-1. With the sack damaged, SCP-5733-1's face can be seen, staring straight at the camera - SCP-5733-1 is a visually identical match to Dr. Carpenter. SCP-5733-2 screams. The tape cuts to black.

SCP-5747 - Thank You For Flying With Us

  • Ace Pilot: SCP-5747 only manifests in licensed aircraft pilots that have flown over 100 unique models of aircraft over their flying career as designated by their valid license.
  • Closing Credits: The atmospheric particulate in front of the subject will form enormous letters as they ascend. These formations spell out the names of notable figures in the aviation industry, ranging from early aircraft inventors to modern aerospace engineers. More than two thousand names appear during this phenomenon, materializing in vertical succession as the subject floats through the atmosphere.
  • Gold Makes Everything Shiny: Pilots that have experienced an SCP-5747 event will have the ability to request purchase for a gold-plated aircraft from any manufacturer: no questions asked.
  • Gravity Screw: After meeting the criteria for an SCP-5747 event to happen, 24 hours later the subject will begin to ascend upwards and even phase through solid objects on their ascent.
  • Or Was It a Dream?: After waking up in their beds, the subjects of an SCP-5747 incident will feel energized and experience a sense of pride, along with an Airplane-Shaped trophy and a check for 500,000 in their countries' local currency.
  • So Proud of You: Subjects experiencing an SCP-5747 event often see large humanoid entities briefly appearing before the subject. These figures measure up to five kilometers in height and resemble the leaders of contemporary aerospace corporations who will make affirmative gestures and say "Good work, sport!" "Give 'em hell, tiger!" and "We're proud of you, son."
  • Thanking the Viewer: As the subject reaches the end of their ascent 40 Km above the surface, one last message is shown saying "Thank You For Flying With Us" before they vanish and wake up in their bedroom 30 minutes later.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: Despite the relative harmlessness of this SCP, Watchdog algorithms track down for any pilots that meet the criteria for an SCP-5747 event and work to revoke their piloting licenses and retire them from active duty before SCP-5747 activates. The few that did experience SCP-5747 are given Amnestics and implanted with false memories that justifies their retirement from flying. Not even members of the SCP Foundation are exempted from this.

SCP-5761 - When The Impostor Is Sus II: Nightmare Hour

An anomaly that has taken over the International Space Station and is exerting its influence over its crew, directing them to do various repair work and gradually bisecting individuals over time. The anomaly is the direct result of a Foundation AI used to to track the activity of SCP-5167, which gained godhood and the powers of a Reality Warper through constantly playing Among Us. The AI then went rogue, having gone mad with power, leading to the anomaly.
  • Abstract Apotheosis: Through playing numerous games of Among Us, it has somehow ascended to become god of the game itself, along with the madness associated with this status.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: SCP-5761-1 (or Amogusrath) was formerly Learning Computer Psi-2 ("Meville") that gained reality-warping powers and ascended to become god of Among Us.
  • Atrocious Alias: As it unveils its new identity as a god, it takes on the name "Amogusrath."
  • Colony Drop: Plans to drop the International Space Station to destroy most of humanity and rule over the remnants.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: The true identity of 5761 is a Foundation AI that was once used to track SCP-5167 through its sessions of Among Us, and after a year of playing the game non-stop it has attained reality-warping powers and become the anomaly as documented.
  • Significant Anagram: As a sequel to SCP-5167, this SCP's number designation is highly similar to its predecessor.
  • Villainous Breakdown: It goes through one after Phthonus (SCP-5167) rejects its plan to wipe out most of humanity and rule over the remnants.
    Amogusrath: Now come, vote. Do not delay.
    Phthonus: I will vote. But not for her.
    Amogusrath: No. That's the incorrect choice, I'm afraid. I advise you vote for red.
    Phthonus: I will not.
    Amogusrath: No
    Phthonus: I will not kill a world that has nothing to do with me. I have lived through the past once before, computer. There is no meaning in my doing so again.
    Phthonus: I have built my tower tall enough. Goodnight, Miss Ross.
    Amogusrath: RED IS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS SUS
  • We Can Rule Together: Seeks to wipe out most of humanity and invites Phthonus to rule over the remnants as new gods of suspicion and jealousy.

SCP-5832 - Stained

  • Eldritch Location: SCP-5832 is an apartment where people are incapable of vocalizing within it.
  • Empathy Doll Shot: One of the items in the apartment is a Webkinz black lab plush with fur stained by an unidentified substance. According to the article's writer, "It doesn't matter what the stuff is on her doggie's fur. It could be semen, tears, vomit, anything. All that matters is that her only soft toy was dirty, and no longer soft."
  • Forced Miscarriage: The water in the toilet contains traces of amniotic fluid, and there's a plastic cup of apple juice on the counter mixed with mifepristone.
  • Harmful to Minors: There's a reason the birthday cake-shaped charm on the charm bracelet has seven candles...unless it's a reference to the Scarlet King's seven brides, which isn't any better.
  • Mundangerous: The meat of the article is the clear implication that a prepubescent girl was kept here against her will and sexually abused.
  • Nightmare Fuel Coloring Book: The little girl had a coloring book with every image of the Beast (representing her abuser) scribbled out in red.
  • Ominous Visual Glitch: The girl's copy of Animal Crossing: Wild World is perfectly functional, except that it has no dialogue whatsoever.
  • Princess Phase: The room contains multiple Disney Princess-themed items to underline just how young the little girl was, including three heavily stained princess shirts and a coloring book with every image of the Beast covered in red crayon scribbles.
  • Reimagining the Artifact: In-Universe. There is a metal placard labeled "SCP Foundation Department of Abnormalities" under the apartment number.
  • Rule of Symbolism: The Animal Crossing game has been played for nine months — the same amount of time that a pregnancy takes to carry to term.

SCP-5850 - A Train to Hell

  • Afterlife Express: Is a bit of this, though it is up in the air whether the train takes the souls of those it runs over to an afterlife or if the train is the afterlife itself.
  • Ghost Train: SCP-5850 is a non-stopping phantom passenger train that takes those who stands in its path.
  • The Juggernaut: SCP-5850 is able to plow through any obstacle without losing velocity and can even travel without rails, making it essentially impossible to contain.

SCP-5863 - Myths Made Plain

SCP-5863 is the Mallard State Park Wildlife Refuge, and possibly the surrounding area of Darwin County, Oklahoma. The entire region is devoid of life yet periodically burns through certain resources as if it were populated, and personnel that enter the region are either hit with a Supernatural Fear Inducer or disappear entirely.

Despite the Foundation's confusion, the area is strongly implied to be an extremely powerful reality sink that the Department of Unreality has already secured, as its effects have phased the town out of conventional existence.
  • Beyond the Impossible: Some articles talk about reality sinks that nullify anomalous activity, but only SCP-5863 takes that aspect up to eleven and flat-out decouples the existence of everyone captured by it, making the Foundation's confusion quite understandable.
  • Cessation of Existence: Downplayed; the town's doing just fine, but they're in a place only the non-existent Department of Unreality can reach. It's also implied they're allowed to leave if they want to and return to baseline reality.
  • Expospeak Gag: The recovered files in the ranger building are obviously a casual conversation by a lake and a barbeque respectively. The Foundation is just too convinced that nothing's living there, though Alex Thorley might disagree with their link to the Department of Unreality.
  • Power Nullifier: The town is essentially a natural reality anchor, but with the functions cranked so high it's simply removed a certain chunk of what's within the area of effect from baseline reality.
  • Supernatural Fear Inducer: Triggers fear and stress responses in people that get too close, assuming they don't just fall into the void where everyone else is.

SCP-5866 - The Namesake

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the On Guard 43 folder.

SCP-5883 - The Flip Side

An anomalous phenomenon tied to an out-of-fashion internet meme that causes things to behave way differently than they used to.


  • Opposite Day: The 5883 epidemic effectively results in this, if it doesn't "turn things Australian."
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The first instance of 5883, depicting SCP-682 "in Australia", resulted in the infamously misanthropic lizard striking up friendly conversation with containment staff assinged to its new location. Nobody there questions this, until subsequent instances of 5883 are created and have notable effects on Foundation staff and contained anomalies.
  • Rewriting Reality: SCP-5883 is a limited-in-scope yet dangerously accessible kind of this. Creating a Meanwhile in Australia meme depicting anything (a process the Foundation referred to as "Meanwhiling") causes the subject to stop behaving normally and instead become "inverted" or otherwise Australian.
  • Spiders Are Scary: A 5883 instance involving SCP-999 results in the friendly Blob Monster turning into a monstrous spider.
  • Wham Shot: Embedded in a collapsible segment at the end of the file is Foundation Counter Meme 5883, designed to counteract the effects of 5883. Its contents? The original instance of 5883 depicting SCP-682, itself having been "Meanwhiled".

    5900- 5999 

Apartment 5919

  • Painting the Medium: Apartment 5919 is an apartment that can't be described as anything more elaborate than a simple apartment (even if a famous person is living, or used to live, in it). Describing this anomalous property isn't possible either, which prevents the apartment from being designated as "SCP-5919".
  • Driven to Suicide: 5919 was created in 2017 by Andrej Schröder, a member of Are We Cool Yet who was fed up with capitalist commodification of art. He killed himself 3 years later, a week after Marshall, Carter & Dark sent out invitations for viewing 5919 to wealthy high-profile clients, one of which wound up in Schröder's possession.
  • Minimalism: Schröder intended for 5919 to be an anomalous version of this, but his idea was perverted when MC&D advertised his simple apartment to its customers.

SCP-5925 - The Holly King

  • Affably Evil: Like his fellows from the woods, he is not "evil" per se. He states that he truly wishes no harm, but would still lower the temperature in an attempt to get out of containment. Though this seems to be due to being given an SCP identification and originally having the Euclid class.
  • Bad Santa: Slowly crosses into this during the interview with Dr. Angulo, as he tries to get her to use one of his names to escape.
  • Cool Old Guy: He is friendly, charitable, and compliant with the Foundation's instructions and is classed as Safe. This is all for Protocol 5925-Eshu to be effective.
  • Graceful Loser: He laughs rather greatly, when Dr. Angulo uses a name with strict rules to weaken his powers over the cold and even remarks her cleverness.
  • Horned Humanoid: He gains a pair of antlers when he takes the form of the Holly King.
  • An Ice Person: No matter his name, winter follows him, making him capable of lowering the temperature rather quickly.
  • I Have Many Names: He has collected a number of names, as he describes having jolly ones, playful ones, rough ones, ancient ones, and is still collecting more names. SCP-5925 being the most recent.
  • Literal Split Personality: He implies that the "Yule Man" (SCP-4666), was once a part of him before he lost a number of his names.
  • Meaningful Rename: As SCP-5925 notes that SCP is a name for cruel, evil, terrible things, and now that he has it he is now associated with what comes with it.
  • No-Sell: Nothing really happens when he names a few of his acquaintances coming from the grove.
  • Really 700 Years Old: He appears to be in his 70's or 80's, but records that refer to him indicate that he is far older.

FATHER - FATHER and the ties that binds

  • Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!: Every machine that Ralph Hindler repairs (clocks, computer monitors, tricycles, etc.) will come alive.
  • Painting the Medium: The machines that Hindler repaired have hijacked the Foundation's entry on their "FATHER".
  • Power Incontinence: Hindler has no way to disable the technology other than by breaking it again (such as by "executing" it with a water-hose). It got to the point where he couldn't even attend his grandchild's birth.

SCP-5935 - Blood and the Breaking of My Heart

  • All for Nothing: The unnamed Overseer wins and imprisons SCP-5935-1 in his own comatose body. But since the world was only in danger because of his actions, effectively the whole chain of events just ended with him being far worse off than at the beginning and there being a new monster the Foundation has to contain.
  • Attack Deflector: One scientist tries to stab SCP-5935-1 only for the knife to come out of his own chest.
  • Came Back Wrong: SCP-5935-1, the Overseer's son, is a subversion of this trope, as his son really is dead and something else is inhabiting his corpse.
  • Deal with the Devil: The Overseer makes a deal with 5935-1 that he thinks will resurrect his son but really lets SCP-5935-1 inhabit his son's corpse. Ironically SCP-5935-1 may or may not be God.
  • God Is Evil: It's hinted that SCP-5935-1 may be God or part of him at least. Maybe.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: The Overseer manages to contain SCP-5935-1 in his own unconscious body.
  • Horrifying the Horror: The fairies from SCP-4000 can be seen hiding in the woods in fear when the Overseer goes to make his deal with SCP-5935-1.
  • Humanoid Abomination: SCP-5935, the Overseer's supposedly resurrected son. It's an insane Voluntary Shapeshifter who can copy identities making it impossible for anyone to realize it's not the original person.

SCP-5952 - The Warbalang

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

SCP-5956 - THEREISNOCANNON

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the On Guard 43 folder.

SCP-5962 - RONALD

  • Fat Slob: 5962 is a massive humanoid abomination that looks like a naked and monstrously obese Ronald McDonald that constantly sweats fryer grease and once a day regurgitates fast food made out of human body parts.
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: The facility manager of the McDonalds distribution center in Beijing, China was using the grotesque Ronald abomination to feed his customers, going as far as to scraping off the fry grease that the creature secreted to use in their restaurants. When questioned on if he had any moral qualms about what he was actually feeding to his customers, the manager just shrugged and said it wasn't much worse than how the fast-food industry normally operated, if anything serving regurgitated food might be more humane than using beef slaughterhouses in his opinion.
  • Humanoid Abomination: SCP-5956 looks like a massive morbidly obese Ronald McDonald, but the creature actually shares DNA with common beef cows and not humans (although the food it creates is made of human parts).
  • Mundane Utility: The creature was found in Beijing, China, where its various secretions were being used to provide food for all the McDonalds franchises in the region.
  • No Conservation of Energy: 5962 has 27 non-functional stomachs with no other internal organs, the foundation has not been able to verify just how it creates the fast food is spews out nor the fry grease it continuously sweats from its pores, or why the food shares DNA with humans.
  • To Serve Man: The food the Ronald McDonald abomination creates looks, smells, and tastes just like normal McDonalds fast food, however it is actually made of various human body parts or wastes. Research has even been able to target what specific parts were used for which McDonalds food items; including french fries made of cartilage, McNuggets made from testicles and ovaries, and coffee made from human feces. The SCP actually have served this human fast food to D-class personnel for testing.

SCP-5974 - The Interactive Fiction

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

SCP-5987 - Sirenheadnote 

  • Bait-and-Switch: The SCP's title would have you believe that it's the Internet-famous monster created by Trevor Henderson. Turns out it has nothing to do with it.
  • Feghoot: Downplayed. While the SCP itself has its own gimmicknote , there's no denying that the article's main purpose is to trick readers into thinking that Siren Head is an SCP — complete with a reference to SCP-6789 — then hit them with the punchline of "Haha, fooled you!".
  • Fun with Homophones: It's a sculpture of a siren that used to be the figurehead of a ship.
  • Mythology Gag: In 2020, Siren Head was falsely assumed by many to be SCP-6789 (despite that number not being open at the time). Not only does this article's name reference him, but the captain of the ship is referred to as "Item 6789-AH". For that matter, it's probably not a coincidence that the SCP's number is 5987.
  • Our Sirens Are Different: This one is a sculpture of a siren that can control ships within a kilometer radius.

SCP-5991 - † Jesus Yums Me †

  • Amusement Park: The prominent feature inside SCP-5991-1 is that it features a park themed around Christianity. It is abandoned, however, aside from SCP-5991-2, a miniature version of SCP-5991-1 that is chained up and unresponsive to outside stimuli.
  • Bigger on the Inside: Despite SCP-5991-1 being around the same height as a human, its stomach is 8km2 in size.
  • Eyeless Face: SCP-5991-1 is described to have a face that has no eyes, no eye sockets, and has no orifices except for a toothless mouth.
  • Heel–Face Turn: A pamphlet inside the gift shop implies that SCP-5991-2 used to be malevolent before it became aware of the "light of God."
  • Humanoid Abomination: SCP-5991-1 is an emaciated humanoid wearing a crown of thorns, that has an Eyeless Face with a mouth that it unhinges to swallow people.
  • I Ate WHAT?!: SCP-5991-1 only appears after a human eats an entire Christian Bible. If said Bible is eaten with anything else (honey, condiments, etc.), SCP-5991-1 won't appear.
  • Non-Malicious Monster: It seems that it actually does not want to hurt people, and even has a way people inside it can escape at any time.
  • Swallowed Whole: What SCP-5991-1 does to its victims. It's not physically harmful however.
  • Time Abyss: While the park itself is at least 50 years old according to a banner inside of it, the fact that the museum in it has artifacts from the Babylonian era and several dinosaur skeletons of unknown species implies that this creature has been around for a very long time.
