6000- 6099

SCP-6000 - The Serpent, the Moose, and the Wanderer's Library

Tropes associated with The Serpent, the Moose, and the Wanderer's Library:

• Apocalypse How: SCP-6000 ends up encompassing the entire world, turning the Earth in that universe into another extension of the Wanderer's Library.
• Non-Malicious Monster: As it turns out, the Earth's universe was dying, and SCP-6000 was just, as SCP-6000-A puts it, "ending the story," which meant assimilating it and all its stories into the Library to make new universes.
• Shout-Out: SCP-6000 is an anomalous patch of jungle that's expanding and transforming everything it encounters, much like the Shimmer from Annihilation (2018).
• Snake People: SCP-6000-A is a human member of the Serpent's Hand who was turned into a snake-like creature.

SCP-6001 - Avalon

The article details an excursion taken in by Dr. David Caspian in an Alternate Universe in which anomalies have been integrated into normal society and the Foundation has teamed up with various GoIs to form The Compendium, a global government that has transformed Earth into a utopia. They have designated the rift to the "main" universe as Phenom #6001.

---

Tropes associated with SCP-6001's universe:

• Alternate Universe: One in which the various GOIs have teamed up, dissolved The Masquerade, integrated anomalies into human society, and turned the Earth into a utopia.
• Benevolent Conspiracy: By the time the Compendium went public, around a hundred years ago, it already more or less controlled the world behind the scenes and was working to improve the quality of life for everyone, human and phenom alike.
• Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp":
  • The Compendium's terminology is slightly different than that used by the Foundation: "phenom" in place of "anomaly," "modus" in place of "Special Containment Procedures," and "imprimis" in place of "description."
  • The various Groups of Interest have different names than in the normal universe:
    • "The Wanderers of all Creation" are the Serpent's Hand and the Chaos Insurgency.
    • "The Unbound Charity" are the Manna Charitable Foundation and Dr. Wondertainment.
    • "The Synthetic Assembly" are Andersons Robotics and the Church of the Broken God.
    • "The Partnership of Three" are Marshall, Carter, and Dark.
    • "The Artists Cultural Collective" are Are We Cool Yet?.
    • "The Absent Party" is Nobody.
    • "The Workshop Union" are The Factory and Prometheus Labs.
    • "The Shared Apex Ascension" are Wilsons Wildlife Solutions.
    • "The Nightland Covenant" are SCP-1000 (Bigfoot).
    • "The Watchers Forum" are Parawatch and Gamers Against Weed.
    • "The Unnamed" are SCP-4000 (the Fae).
    • "The Global Peacekeeping Initiative" are the Global Occult Coalition and the Unusual Incidents Unit.
• Continuity Cavalcade: A lot of SCPs appear or are referenced during David's time in SCP-6001's universe, from classics like 173 and 682 to more recent articles such as SCP-5031. A complete list can be found here.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: After the Foundation and the Wanderers made peace (along with all the other GOIs under their umbrellas), they turned their collective arsenals on the Scarlet King and other apocalyptic beings, destroying or repulsing them entirely.
• Fantastic Slur: "Anomaly" is considered one, and anyone using it within earshot of a Wanderer will get a chewing-out.
• The Federation: The Compendium, an alliance of Groups of Interest that rule over the alternate Earth as "benevolent dictators."
• Foil: The author wrote it as one to SCP-5000.
  What if the SCP Universe declared war? Well what if the SCP Universe declared peace? And what if it had talking cats!?
• Heel–Face Turn:
  • Many previously hostile SCPs have undergone this. SCP-1000 was inducted into the Compendium, SCP-082 ceased eating people and became a busker, SCP-993 became an artist, SCP-173 became a museum exhibit and even SCP-682 decided that humanity was "no longer disgusting".
  • Almost all the antagonistic GOIs seem to have joined forces with the Foundation.
• Insistent Terminology: There's not anomalies, they're phenoms.
• Killed Off for Real: SCP-4975 sadly went extinct before the Compendium was founded. Its skeletal remains are shown in a museum.
• Magitek: PACTs^note Phenom Application and/or Combination Technology are technologies developed from the study of anomalies (with their consent). These are responsible for many facets of the World of Weirdness that is SCP-6001's alternate Earth.
• Nature Versus Nurture: Primrose claims that many hostile SCPs are only aggressive because humanity treats them like dangerous monsters, resulting in Then Let Me Be Evil.
  Caspian: Aren't you worried [SCP-173] might... you know?
  Primrose: Might what? Hurt someone? Kill someone? Oh it might, if we ever were so disrespectful to lock it away and leave it unseen, letting it wallow in its own filth. Any person would do the same. It's a statue, David. It's art! It stops when it's seen because it wants to be seen!
• One-Hour Work Week: Thanks to the advancements in technology, the citizens can now finish their work by 8 am, via extra arms.
• Throw the Dog a Bone: Several of the more tragic SCPs, including 085, 1000, 1762 and especially 231-7, have at long last been given happy endings here.
• Token Evil Teammate: The Global Peacekeeping Initiative (this universe's version of the GOC) serve as this to the Compendium. They serve more as a Necessary Evil, since even a utopian world like this one needs someone to take care of legitimate dangers.
  There's been a lot of talk today about what we bring to the table - why each of us is here. Well, the Peacekeepers know why we're here. You people need a villain. You need some son of a bitch to blame all the hard decisions on. You need someone to sit here and say "take them out" and "shut it down," so you can go home that night and feel like you really tried to make the right decision, but oh, if only those bastard Peacekeepers would let you.
• Translator Microbes: PACT-5 is Magitek that facilitates communication between humans and Starfish Language-speaking phenoms.
• The Unmasqued World: There appear to be no secrets in SCP-6001's world, at least as far as the anomalous (sorry, phenoms) are concerned. Regular humans and fantastical creatures co-exist in what is, by all accounts, peaceful harmony.
• Underwater City: The Atlantic Supercity, home to the cephalopod civilization, which stretches from Alaska all the way to New Zealand.
• Uplifted Animal: Many species have been uplifted via PACT-15 (a technology developed from studying SCP-1470), including cats, cephalopods, and (briefly) jellyfish. Primrose says that eventually every species on Earth will be uplifted.
• Utopia: It's pretty much the best-possible outcome to the SCPverse. The anomalous and mundane worlds have become one, the GOIs are unified in common cause, and the standard of living has skyrocketed worldwide.
• Who Wants to Live Forever?: While the Compendium does have the means of inducing immortality, they've also found out why the conclusion of life is essential, so it's fallen out of favor.
• World of Weirdness: Earth has become a Fantasy and Sci-Fi Kitchen Sink, with ordinary humans living alongside Uplifted Animals and all sorts of bizarre entities and lifeforms.

Tropes associated with Primrose the cat:

• Didn't See That Coming: She admits that she genuinely didn't think the vote for whether to establish contact between her world and David's would be so close (six in favor, seven opposed). In particular, she notes that the Nocturnals voting in favor was a surprise, and the Collective was incomprehensible. The Fae were a coin-toss, as they always are.
• N-Word Privileges: Idioms like "curiosity killed the cat" have fallen out of use among humans now that sapient, talking cats are a thing. She teasingly calls David out on using "cat phrases" from time to time.
• Older Than They Look: She eventually reveals to David that she is actually 60 years old.
• Troll: When David asks what the Compendium is voting on, she claims that a 'yes' vote means they'll conquer his universe, a 'no' vote means they'll destroy it entirely. After his horrified Stunned Silence, she cracks up and calls him gullible. Turns out the vote is actually about making First Contact, with no nefarious intentions.
• Uplifted Animal: A sapient cat, one who wears spectacles and a violet blazer. She's also a big name in the Shared Apex Ascension, being her universe's Head of Trans-Dimensional Development and Discovery.

Tropes associated with Dr. David Caspian:

• But Now I Must Go: He declines Primrose's offer to stay in her universe.
• Loophole Abuse: During a drunken night with Primrose, he bumps into SCP-4999, who offers him a cigarette. Whilst he normally only gives to those who're about to die, he figures that since this is David's last day in this world, it counts.
• Shout-Out: His name is a reference to Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia.

SCP-6002 - All Creatures Great and Small

• Apocalypse How: An in-progress Class 6; unless the Foundation can come up with a way to stop the spread of SCP-6002-B, all organic life on Earth will be wiped out within 300 years as the tree's crown is completely destroyed by the infection.
• Bad Boss: Dr. Muller steals credit from junior researchers, threatens to have Dr. Rose Wildcat executed for stopping him from giving an anomalous infection to the chicken genome, introduces a blight to SCP-6002 which threatens to cause the extinction of all life on Earth and then tries to stop the Foundation from finding out about the threat, and murders Dr. Amara Achebe, one of the only people trying to stop the blight, to cover up his actions.
• Bizarre Alien Biology: While a natural Earth-based kingdom of life, the aeterns are generally immune to aging and various forms of cancer. The Foundation is forced to trigger their extinction and wipe all memory of them ever existing in a bid to contain SCP-6002-B. The attempt fails.
• Didn't Think This Through: During experiments with the goal of slowing or stopping human aging, Dr. Muller has trouble extracting aetern genetic material from SCP-6002 for use in modifying other genomes, as all the samples disintegrate almost immediately upon being removed from SCP-6002. He resorts to painting an anomalous preservative solution on the donor area of SCP-6002 before taking the samples, which finally allows the samples to remain stable after removal. Said preservative is derived from, among other things, SCP-106 and SCP-682. Guess what part of SCP-6002 is the first to be affected by an unstoppable anomalous rot...
• Downer Ending: SCP-6002-B still exists even after everything, meaning the extinction of all organic life on Earth is practically guaranteed, and Dr. Wildcat kills herself at the realization that causing the extinction of the aeterns was therefore All for Nothing.
• Driven to Suicide:
  • Dr. Muller hangs himself to avoid being arrested by an MTF team for murdering Dr. Achebe.
  • Dr. Wildcat does so out of anguish about what the Foundation did to SCP-6002 and the consequences for the world.
• Final Solution: The people that initially inhabited the tree, of whom Dr. Wildcat is a member, were rounded up and executed almost to a man by the Foundation.
• Gaia's Lament: This is practically guaranteed by the end of the article. The SCP-6002-B infection is likely to lead to the elimination of all life on Earth within the next 300 years.
• Genocide Survivor: Dr. Wildcat and her family are some of the few survivors of the annihilation of their people by the Foundation.
• Stealing the Credit: In August 2002, following a containment breach of an unnamed Keter-class SCP which results in mass Foundation and civilian casualties, the O5s authorize genetic modification of SCP-6002 for the purpose of making the unnamed SCP easier to contain. Dr. Achebe manages to isolate the genes controlling the unnamed SCP's growth and reproduction and modify those genes in SCP-6002, sterilizing the unnamed SCP and preventing it from growing past its newborn size. In recognition of the work that allowed a Keter-class SCP to be downgraded to Euclid class, Dr. Muller gets a pay raise, an increased security clearance, and official permission to cross-test other SCPs with SCP-6002 for the purpose of weakening or neutralizing them, while Dr. Achebe, who did all the actual work, gets... a passing mention in a testing log as having "assisted" Dr. Muller.
• Stupid Evil: After finding out that his actions have led to a blight that will destroy all organic life on Earth if not stopped, Dr. Muller tries to cover up his mistake instead of sounding the alarm, going so far as to murder one of the scientists trying to stop the blight.
• World Tree: A literal tree of life, containing the genes of all living things on Earth and having what is done to the genes on the tree impact the existence of all members of that species. It's noted that it's unlikely that cultures that came up with the likes of Yggdrasil could've known that SCP-6002 existed, however.

SCP-6004 - The Rainbow Serpent

• Animalistic Abomination: SCP-6004 fits this to a tee, Being a flying snake changing between a few hundred metres and nearly 2000 kilometres in length that eats entire cities and regurgitates its victims as animals. That's not even touching its control of the weather, indifference towards nuclear weapons or implied age placing it as being possibly the oldest life on earth.
• Anthropomorphic Personification: Of nature and life, having been hinted at literally creating both in recovered mythology. Crosses over with Mother Nature.
• Apocalypse How: A solid Class 0, The Rainbow Serpent struck at major population centers, reducing a significant portion of the worlds population to animals, disrupting power and essentially restructuring the worlds natural balance.
• Awakening the Sleeping Giant: Literally. Too many years of unchecked climate change and a particularly intense wildfire led to the awakening of something no one expected.
• Bittersweet Ending: The Rainbow Serpent eventually returns to its slumber, and as a result of its rampage, most of the damage done by human civilization to the Earth's biosphere has been reversed. In its aftermath, the Foundation takes a more direct role in global affairs, helping to rebuild society in a way that is more ecologically conscientious, to ensure that the Serpent remains in hibernation. However, a significant portion of the human population has either died or been converted into animals, civilization has been greatly diminished, and wilderness areas are significantly more unsafe and hostile to human life.
• Blue-and-Orange Morality: A fairly mundane example, in that despite its power and nature, the Rainbow Serpent is essentially an animal. It likely does not even have a concept of morality at all.
• Destroyer Deity: In addition to it's status as the Anthropomorphic Personification of nature, the Rainbow Serpent takes this role in regards to pretty much anything that's angered it, with it's attacks wiping out dams, cities and mines on a global scale.
• Fertile Feet: Despite not having feet, this is one of the Rainbow Serpent's primary abilities. Wherever it goes forests spring up in its wake, prompted by the near constant rainstorms that surround it.
• Forced Transformation: It likes to do this to people. Specifically, swallowing people by the thousands as it consumes cities and eventually vomiting them back up, only turned into endangered animals.
• Gaia's Vengeance: Explicitly. While it is a creation god, when angered by sufficient abuse of what it sees as the natural order the Rainbow Serpent is essentially the wrath of nature personified.
• Giant Equals Invincible: It tends to No-Sell any conventional weaponry brought to bear against it, barely noticing a series of nuclear devices detonating along its body. It took the combined efforts of the Foundation, the GOC, MC&D and the Church of the Broken God to engineer a Doomsday Device capable of doing anything to it.
• The Juggernaut: Part of being a Physical God. It barely noticed nuclear weapons, all of the Foundations greatest weapons failed to make a scratch, and even a particularly nasty Doomsday Device barely managed to give it mild burns. In the end, the only thing that stopped its rampage was it returning to sleep, not the efforts of others.
• Nature Is Not Nice: While it is reversing Global Warming with its Weather Manipulation abilities, it is doing so indiscriminately, causing tsunamis, floods and monumental collateral damage.
• Nuke 'em: Tried against it by China. While it is the first thing that causes it to actually notice that it's being attacked, it backfires and causes the Serpent to attack Beijing with unusual savagery.
• The Old Gods: Very likely. Evidence of humans worshipping it as far back as 40,000 years ago has been found, nothing was able to phase it, and it commands fundamental elements of the earth.
• Roar Before Beating: One of the best ways to tell if the Rainbow serpent is just doing its thing, or if it's enraged. Each time it was provoked by sufficiently powerful attacks, it has this reaction before savagely attacking. Just ask Site-19.
• Swallowed Whole: One of the Rainbow Serpents main activities is to swoop down from the sky, open its mouth wide and swallow entire cities until there is nothing left to show there was ever a man made structure there in the first place.

SCP-6013 - The Leviathan of the Aegean

• Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: Downplayed. While Langford still cares about and tries to keep in touch with her wife and kids despite her altered physical and mental state, it's heavily implied that she and Greer have begun what is, at the very least, an emotional affair at the very end of the article.
• Animalistic Abomination: The animals around SCP-6013 have been mutated in typical Sarkic ways, and Body Horror abounds. Stingrays with human faces and armored whales that can breathe underwater are only some examples.
• Bittersweet Ending: SCP-6013 is prevented from turning all of Eurasia into an inhospitable horror of flesh and blood and the Foundation is working on pacifying it. However, Langford is stuck in the belly of the beast, unable to leave lest Raya turn hostile. The exposure to a Sarkic leviathan has also mutated her in untold ways (though she did at least get an Easy Sex Change out of it), so it's uncertain if she'll ever return to her wife and kids.
• Body Horror: People exposed to SCP-6013 begin to transform over time, often with horrifying and deadly results. Langford becomes bioluminescent, physically durable enough to survive sustained gunfire and able to turn her limbs into barbed tentacles of teeth and muscle.
• Continuity Nod: Raya is established to be around 3,000 years old. That would put its creation around the end of the Bronze age, which previous SCPs have established as the first stages of the Sarkite-Mekhanite war.
• Door Stopper: One of the longer skips, both in terms of sheer length and how long it takes to read. According to the author, they reached the wiki's typelimit when writing it.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: invokedWord of God states that Greer will bring Langford home, no matter what the Foundation says.
• Easy Sex Change: Hardly "easy" considering that it required being Mind Raped by an Eldritch Abomination, but Hannah Langford, a trans woman, is given a fully functioning female reproductive system by 6013's Sarkic influence. In the letter to her wife at the end of the article, she says she wants to try for (biological) children when she gets back.
• Eldritch Abomination: The Sarkic Leviathan, or Raya as it calls itself, is a massive tumor of flesh created by ancient Sarkites to terraform the world into Adytum incarnate. Being near it for too long will Mind Rape people into becoming devout Sarkites, and it seems to absorb their consciousnesses into itself.
• Heroic Willpower: And how. Langford somehow manages to retain her consciousness after being absorbed into Raya's Mind Hive and even keeps the Sarkic abomination from destroying Earth's ecosystem.
• Hostile Terraforming: Raya was built by the Bronze Age Sarkites to terraform the world into a body horror paradise. This would of course be Hell for everyone else, especially their Mekhanite enemies.
• Language Barrier: While Langford can speak Adytite, the language used by most Sarkites, Raya prefers a different language entirely, known as Soonsaran. It also picks up on other languages quickly and incorporates them into its own. The article actually provides a Soonsaran dictionary and lessons in Soonsaran-English translation, inviting readers to translate Raya's dialogue. It's not required to get the story of the article, but it does provide plenty of foreshadowing.
• Madness Mantra: At the end of the article, after being sealed within Raya, Langford repeatedly says "Ryratal," Soonsaran for "apology," "penance" or "forgiveness."
• Mind Rape: Being in the vicinity of 6013 for too long will cause it to force its Sarkic faith on the poor victim. This happens to Hadina and several of the assigned agents, but Langford manages to power through it and pacify Raya.
• Mistaken Identity: Raya thinks Langford is a "Xerxen'noron," a Sarkic disciple, either because she speaks Adytite, or because it mistakenly identified Langford's hormone therapy as a type of Sarkic mutation.
• Obstructive Bureaucrat: Site Director Isaiah Kamski, whose total mishandling of the situation got everyone but Greer killed and almost resulted in utter catastrophe, and who now tries to work to strip Langford of her humanity and instruct new employees to treat her like a thing while undermining Greer, as much to whitewash and hide his own crimes and incompetence as out of sincere suspicion of what is effectively a mutated SCP instance hooked up to a continental killing machine.
• Politically Incorrect Hero: Downplayed. Greer makes a transphobic comment at Langford's expense during the first exploration log (implying that Langford's "injected" hormones are lesser than Greer's natural ones), but is otherwise a good person and steadfast friend. These tendencies disappear after she and Langford have a heart-to-heart.

SCP-6056 - The Crumpening

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

SCP-6073 - The Woven Wraith

An animate scarecrow with plant-manipulation powers, a dehydrating touch, and extensive combat training. He is currently uncontained, a member to the Miracle Liberation Front, and giving the SCP Foundation one hell of a hard time.

Tropes associated with SCP-6073:

---

• All-Loving Hero: A lover of nature who refuses to kill unless absolutely necessary.
• Bad Powers, Good People: 6073 could very well use his dehydration powers to turn people into dried husks, but he never does. At most, he dehydrates people to the point where they are too weak to move. He leaves a water bottle for them to reach, too.
• Friendly Sniper: A reasonable, empathetic figure who just happens to favor sniping targets from a distance. He's just as capable of fighting on close quarters, though.
• Green Thumb: He has the power to control plant life and plant matter. This includes turning wood into sawdust and back into a solid mass to trap enemies.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: He has an uncanny ability to constantly land consistently non-lethal shots and Blasting It Out of Their Hands. Downplayed, as he claims that he can only do it reliably with his sniper rifle, and he isn't quite as good with handguns.
• Make Them Rot: A variation. In contrast to his plant-based powers, he can also dehydrate anything he touches. He mostly uses this power to dry grass up and replace the hay that fills his body, but he can weaponize it, too.
• Noble Demon: To the Foundation. He is hell-bent on defying containment efforts of himself and other anomalies, and his ultimate goal as an MLF member is the dismantling of The Veil, but he also believes in respect, fair play, and that all life is sacred.
• Religious Bruiser: Is often seen praying, specially while thanking the plants he controlled for their help. He mentions believing in God (or perhaps, a God), but his specific religion is left ambiguous. He invokes this with his personal policy of not killing and his speeches about how all life is sacred.
• Scary Scarecrows: He's an animate scarecrow giving the Foundation one hell of a headache. However, this is subverted: He is honorable and avoids killing foes during his raids. Hell, he even saves Agent Rodney's life.
• Sniper Rifle: He can wield a wide array of weapons in battle, but he prefers his trusty sniper rifle.
• Technical Pacifist: He's completely fine with using firearms and other lethal weapons, but will only ever go for non-lethal shots, when possible.
• When Trees Attack: A favorite tactic of his when using his plant manipulation powers.

SCP-6076 - A Hero, Complete

• Blood Knight: The caretaker comments on how once upon a time, all that was needed to be considered a "hero" was to be really good at killing - and the corpse was so good at killing in life it still knows how to do it two thousand years after its death.
• Eye Scream: One eye has recessed so far back in its skull as to no longer be visible, and the other is resting on its cheek.
• Geas: In its inactive state, the only motion it's capable of is widely opening its mouth in the presence of a human female, allowing itself to be fed; records provided by the caretaker recommending feeding it dog meat, suggesting doing so reduces the length of its rampages when it enters active stage.
• Humanoid Abomination: It has seven fingers on each hand and seven toes on each foot, its feet and shins are on backwards, and it has seven pupils per eye.
• Meaningful Name: Its number references SCP-076, another killing machine based on a mythological figure (namely, Cú Chulainn).
• Shout-Out: The message painted nearby is a reference to the long-term nuclear waste warning messages proposed by Sandia National Laboratories. Indeed, the woman who held the duty to feed the corpse with dog meat thinks of it as toxic waste, and she confirmed it was meant as a humorous reference.
  THIS PLACE IS A PLACE OF HONOR
  HIGHLY ESTEEMED DEAD ARE COMMEMORATED HERE
  WHAT IS HERE WAS ADMIRABLE AND INSPIRING TO US
  THIS MESSAGE IS A WARNING ABOUT DANGER
• The Berserker: Every August, it comes back to life and tries to go on a rampage.
• You Can't Thwart Stage One: The corpse can only be harmed when it's active - attempting to preemptively stop it will result in a bright orange light and a tremendous release of heat until the threat is gone.

SCP-6078 - Peekaboo Island

Tropes associated with the island of Hy-Brasil:

• Island of Mystery: It's a strange island found somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean, which resides its own pocket dimension, only periodically surfacing in our world.
• Mythopoeia: Several of the island's legends and fairy tales are described in an accompanying tale, Brasilic Folklore and Mythology.
• Selkies and Wereseals: Play an important role in Brasilic mythology, with the aforementioned tale containing three different variations on the legend.
• Vanishing Village: Between manifestation events, the island is completely inaccessible through ordinary means.

Tropes associated with Dyrmud the Ageless:

• The Ageless: Well d'uh, it's in the name! King Dyrmud is recounted as ageing only one year for every four, due to having been born on a leap day.
• Cartwright Curse: Had a grand total of seven wives throughout his reign, all of whom died within a year of marriage, due to a curse placed by his first bride.
• Driven to Suicide: One of Dyrmud's wives, Arienn (who is described as possessing the most beautiful singing voice on the island) is killed by a wild dog, which heard her enchanting melody and mistook her for a swan. After fatally wounding her, the animal then jumps into a lake out of grief.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Dyrmud sacrifices his own life to save his kingdom from a race of monstrous attackers hailing from the far north.
• Humanoid Abomination: What Dyrmud becomes after the siege of Brasil.
  • The island's mysterious invaders, said to hail from an unknown northern land, also fit this trope. They're said to have unusually pale skin, with backwards-facing feet, and six fingers on each hand.
• Mystical Pregnancy: Dyrmud's last wife (and the only one to bear children) was unable to conceive through natural means. As such, she consults a witch, who provides her with a magical seed that will make her pregnant. Shame she didn't follow the instructions correctly...
• Rule of Seven: King Dyrmud had seven wives, all of whom he married seven years apart.

SCP-6079 - Digital Dissociation

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

SCP-6087 - The Voice-Taker Cometh

• Elective Mute: Alluded to. The magical potion of silence is noted to have been used by 'a certain sect of silent monks in the far east', implying it was used as a sort of rite of passage.
• Maternal Impression: The reason the Voice-Taker possesses a mouth much too big for his face? His mum was a gossip, of course!
• Revenant Zombie: The Voice-Taker appears to be a case of this, although blurs the line somewhat between zombie and ghost.
• Things That Go "Bump" in the Night: Although the titular monster is original, it's obviously inspired by various European boogeyman legends used to frighten children into good behavior - in this case, children who tell lies and use bad words.
• The Voiceless: The Voice-Taker, who was robbed of his own ability to speak, steals the voices of disobedient children. It is noted that he sometimes decides to return a voice to one of his victims if they've been well-behaved since, although he has a habit of getting boys' and girls' voices mixed up.
• Weird Beard: The Voice-Taker's facial 'hair' consists entirely of writhing flies and maggots.

SCP-6096 - The Guest

• And I Must Scream: As if its ability wasn't disturbing enough people who fall under its effect seem fully aware of their body acting against their will, as shown in the Initial Containment log when the victim's parents essentially go into shock after the incident, probably realizing they helped SCP-6096 kill their own son.
• Bedsheet Ghost: SCP-6096 is "presumably humanoid in shape," their physical appearance kept entirely obscured under a white cotton sheet. All attempts at removing the bedsheet have failed.
• Cardboard Prison: Due to its effects it essentially is uncontainable and its "containment cell" is essentially a glorified hotel room for it, as best shown with the sentence: "SCP-6096 is to be released from containment whenever it desires."
• Invincible Villain: It is impossible for anyone to harm SCP-6096 on purpose, be it directly (physical assaults, set traps, murder-suicide, etc.) or indirectly (tricking someone else into doing it). The only exception to this seems to be its target.
• Mass Hypnosis: Effectively its main anomalous effect, everyone around SCP-6096 when it is in its active phase will always help it with finding its target, such as Foundation letting it out of its cell, to others essentially driving it all the way across the country, to the victim's family opening the door for it and restraining the target.

SCP-6097 - Granny Rat Tail

• Child Eater: Heavily implied to be this - the Foundation notes that the burnt remains of at least a dozen infants were found buried around her hut.
• Flying Broomstick: Played With - rather than a broomstick, Granny Rat Tail's preferred mode of transport seems to be flying around on a big metal spoon (likely an allusion to her cannibalistic nature).
• Humanoid Abomination: Physically resembles an old lady covered in shaggy grey fur, with a long rat's tail ending with a third eyeball at its tip.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: Shortly after her capture, multiple attempts are made to execute Granny Rat: they try drowning her and burning her at the stake (to no avail), before finally chopping her head off and calling it a day. It's heavily implied that even this failed to kill her.
• Salem Is Witch Country: The story takes place in the fictional town of Brownsborough, Massachusetts in the early eighteenth century.
• Shout-Out: The small New England town of Brownsborough is described as being located in Blair County, a clear reference to The Blair Witch Project.
• Wicked Witch: Having killed and eaten no less than twelve newborn babies, it's safe to say she's as wicked as they come.
• Womb Horror: After her torture and execution by the residents of Brownsborough, Granny Rat Tail exacts her vengeance by causing horrendous deformities in newborn babies. This includes infants being born with thin, rat-like tails, and (in the most extreme cases) being born without a head.

SCP-6135 - We Didn't Start The SCP

SCP-6135 is an anomalous recording of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire that contains six extra verses with seemingly nonsensical (in reality, predictive) lyrics.

---

• Ominous Message from the Future: While it is unclear exactly who or what is responsible for its creation, SCP-6135 contains several additional verses which appear to predict future events (of course, the documentation in question was written in 1991, so many of these events will be familiar to modern readers). The real kicker comes at the end, when it's revealed that "Research into the identities of Tim McVay and Harry Potter is ongoing."

SCP-6140 - The True Empire

Tropes associated with 6140:

• Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: The Earl of Elgin owns one of the few remaining copies of an anomalous book, and his ancestor used it to commit a massive act of existential obliteration. While the Bruce family and the Earls of Elgin exist in Real Life, their numbering and naming differs (the closest Real Life Thomas Bruce was the 7th Earl of Elgin, of Elgin Marbles fame).
• Deconstruction: Narratively, the work deconstructs the anomalous orientalism and historiographic stasis found in the original SCP-140 article. SCP-140 imagines a Daevite Empire of demonic cannibal slavers who remains eternally unchanging through its history, even though real societies would naturally rebel against such empires and undergo siginficant changes across history. SCP-6140 shows what would realistically happen if such an empire really did exist in history: it was overthrown and its society changed over time.
• Flanderization: In SCP-140, the Daevite Empire is described as an Always Chaotic Evil slave empire wielding powerful anomalies to subjugate its neighbours. This was actually all a massive exaggeration by SCP-140's original author. He read about an incident where a Daevite prince ate a baby slave and assumed the worst about the Daevites because he thought it was cool. In reality, that incident triggered an uprising that led to the downfall of the empire, and the Daevites are just ordinary people with no special abilities.
• Once Done, Never Forgotten: At the end of the article, a Daevistani historian and Foundation member explains that this was the core of Thomas Bruce's idea of them: the Daevite Empire was a pretty terrible place at points in history, and did indeed have a gigantic slave population and a highly corrupt and decadent upper class at one stage. However, that stage in its history was a relatively brief one that ended in the slaves being freed and the nobility thoroughly ousted. What Thomas Bruce did was take that single moment of a prince eating a slave's child and imagine a civilization where such behavior was not a hideous beyond-the-pale crime, but rather the norm.
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The Children of the Scarlet King's attempt to restore the Daevite Empire restores the real Daevites, who are completely harmless and actually have an SCP branch of their own.
• Orientalism: The Daevites became a victim of this thanks to Thomas Bruce, the original author of SCP-140, with some unknown help. Several traits of them noted in the original article, such as an unusual continuity of history with little change over time, are recast as Thomas Bruce's rather shallow idea of their culture.
• Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Enforced, Thomas Bruce made sure reality itself misunderstood the Daevites as monsters.
• Reality Warper: The burning of all the copies of SCP-140 by the Cult of the Scarlet King was assumed by the Foundation to allow the Daevite Empire to retroactively appear in the modern day. As it turns out, the burning ended up restoring the actual history of the Daevites to reality.
• Redeeming Replacement: The actual Daevite Empire was pretty awful, though far more mundane than in SCP-140; Daevastan is just a normal Central Asian state, and pretty proud of being the first abolitionist culture in history.

Tropes associated with 140-A a.k.a. Thomas Bruce

• Meaningful Name: While the Thomas Bruce depicted in the text isn't a real figure (the short-lived 6th Earl of Elgin was named William, and the portrait used to depict Thomas is actually of the 1st Earl of Sandwich), his name and title are identical to the real 7th Earl of Elgin, a man probably best known for taking the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon and bringing them to Britain, an act that some people (then and now) consider looting or vandalism. The fact that the fictitious Thomas Bruce, a man who manipulated the history and identity of a foreign country for his own entertainment, shares the name of a real person associated with appropriating a key piece of foreign cultural history thus further deepens the article's exploration of the legacy of colonialism.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: Part of the reason they had SCP-140 created was because he found the idea of a matriarchal, non-white country that was as functional if not more so than Europe impossible, and assumed it to be a historical error.
• Psychopathic Manchild: A man who transformed an entire country full of innocent people into a species of monstrous, inhuman conquerors because he found them more interesting that way.
• Villainous Legacy: They're centuries deceased by the present day, but every evil the Daevite Empire committed or was indirectly responsible for is ultimately his fault, as he created them .

SCP-6167- ████ is Empty

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the Pitch Haven folder.

6200- 6299

SCP-6206 - The Commissioner of Maximum League Baseball

SCP-6206 is the commissioner of the Maximum League, the Blood Sport version of baseball from SCP-2206's universe. In 2019, the Pittsburgh Rebels staged a coup that ended with SCP-6206's exile to the prime universe, where he has since plotted to bring about a new Maximum League by force.

---

• Alternate Self: Of George W. Bush.
• Be Careful What You Wish For: After the Rebels deposed the commissioner, the seat was filled by the Players Association, who proceeded to launch a series of exhibition matches to refine their baseball into the perfect sport. The Foundation notes that this would greatly increase the lethality of the sport and take several decades to complete, something that even the Maximum League couldn't handle and thus led them to flee to the prime universe to either play normal baseball or get SCP-6206 back.
• Boxed Crook: The Foundation reinstalls SCP-6206 as a Puppet King to placate the original Maximum League, but they have no interest in actually associating with his antics.
• Everyone Has Standards: The Maximum League attempted to flee to the prime universe because of the Players Association's proposed changes to their version of baseball being too lethal even for them.

SCP-6221 - A Very VKTM Christmas

SCP-6221 is a series of twenty-four pieces of Christmas-themed media produced by Vikander-Kneed Technical Media, including several animations, live-action films, and one music album. Each of these pieces of media has anomalous effects depending on what's watched, making the holidays somewhat unsafe for those who consume them.

• Christmas Episode: VKTM's apparent motive in creating SCP-6221 is to spread Christmas cheer among the Foundation, who has had some very rough years in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
• Running Gag: Dr. Wettle has another instance of Amusing Injuries, having come to harm after he attempted to argue that the song "Baby It's Cold Outside" had undertones of sexual assault in front of someone who had been exposed to the anomalous version of Die Hard.
• Shout-Out:
  • To John Mulaney's "Salt and Pepper Diner" bit from The Top Part; one of the tracks on "All I Want For Christmas Is Forever" is "It's Not Unusual" by Tom Jones, which was played in the middle of Mulaney's attempt to play "What's New Pussycat?" almost forty times on a jukebox.
  • "Weird Al" Yankovic's "The Night Santa Went Crazy" gets adapted into an exploitation film; the still from it used at the top of the article is actually from Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, which is in the public domain.
• Stealth Pun: Calling the Fear of Santa Claus caused by The Night Santa Went Crazy "Claustrophobia" results in "five concussions, four broken fingers, three bloody noses, two chipped teeth, and a single broken knee"; this fits the meter and most of the rhyme scheme of the traditional carol The Twelve Days of Christmas.
• Take That!: The article is a massive one towards Christmas-themed media and the culture surrounding it.
  • Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You is turned into an album called " All I Want For Christmas Is Forever", which has a seemingly infinite amount of tracks; anyone who hears a non-anomalous version of it is compelled to break whatever speakers it's playing from, after vomiting their guts out.
  • Hallmark Channel's Christmas films are shown as so interchangeable and boring that it doesn't even get a title, just "Stock Hallmark Christmas Film #29123", and it puts people to sleep to the point where nobody knows how it ends.
  • Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is re-imagined as a the totalitarian and corrupt governor of Florida, which at the time, was in the midst of implementing dozens of "anti-woke" laws, ranging from bans on drag shows to censorship of certain books.

SCP-6222 - FISH PRISON

SCP-6222 is the titular FISH PRISON, a non-Euclidean space located in an unnamed park. Within is a prison facility implied to be from an alternate Foundation whose aquatic fauna are more intelligent and civilized. SCP-6222-1 refers to the specific creatures trapped in the facility, imprisoned for various crimes in magic tanks that deprive them of all sustenance and interaction yet keep them alive.

---

• Alternate Universe/Funny Animal: Seems to come from one where fish and other aquatic fauna are intelligent and have some semblance of a human-like society. The Foundation equivalent there is closer to a police department than a containment agency, implying said universe also lacks a veil. Moreover, the Bigfoots/SCP-1000 are apparently yeti crabs over there, as one such crab is an SCP-6222-1 instance that holds a variant of the note from SCP-1000's original article.
• Ambiguous Situation: Just how sapient are the SCP-6222-1 instances in the FISH PRISON, and how advanced is the alleged society they hail from? Some appear to be regular fish affected by anomalies, while others are intelligent enough to converse with each other and observers. Then there's the issue with a stray Wandsman and SCP-3000 having been captured at one point.
• And I Must Scream: The prison cells have no water, food, cleaning, interpersonal interaction, etc., yet all of the animals trapped in them are doomed to be kept alive regardless for eternity.
• Animal Jingoism: Trilobites and Anomalocaris, despite suspicions that the theory of a predator-prey relationship between them is inaccurate. Both are SCP-6222-1 instances that live in the same cell block and can't stand each other, forcing the Foundation to put up a barrier obstructing line of sight between the two groups for everyone's sanity.
• Artistic License – Biology: There are some doubts that Anomalocaris and trilobites really did have a concrete predator-prey relationship, given that the former was an apex predator, but their appearance in SCP-6222 plays that idea straight for the sake of some unorthodox Animal Jingoism.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Whoever runs (or ran) the facility is clearly this, as there are spats of inanimate objects being made into SCP-6222-1 instances. Inanimate objects doing what would be considered fish crimes, but still.
• Evil Twin:
  • An alternate SCP-6868 is found in the cells, apparently having been arrested after deliberately using its water transmutation powers to kill people (the prime 6868 is a Shrinking Violet and has PTSD from the time it accidentally killed someone through this method.)
  • Continuing the mythos-wide Running Gag of Paul McCartney being the subject of various SCPs at the expense of himself or his works, a double of him is locked up for "impersonation."
• Great Escape: A number of cells that should have SCP-6222-1 instances don't for this reason, including the one containing what is now SCP-3000.
• Mathematician's Answer: Was SCP-3000 really the Hindu god or just a regular oversized moray with amnesia powers? The last excerpt in the main document implies the answer is "yes."
• Shout-Out: One of the SCP-6222-1 instances is a red robot mosasaur that periodically says "Preo Warriors, form Preotron" without any response. In other words, it's a Zord (or Sentai Robo) separated from its other Combining Mecha parts.
• Time Travel: A group of coelacanths are locked up for unauthorized time travel, the joke being that as a Lazarus taxon and living fossil, nobody would really know or care since they haven't changed for 66 million years.

SCP-6224 - Oh My God, Asuka Evangelion!

SCP-6224 is a phenomenon within Site-026 where various items suddenly become Neon Genesis Evangelion-branded and any fans of the show become compelled to rant at length about how much they love it.

---

• Imaginary Friend: Crone appears to think of Asuka as his friend.
• Merchandise-Driven: Yep. Gets even worse after "the Day of Impact", where Foundation staff who aren't into Evangelion start talking about buying the show and its merch.
• Otaku: Staff members who like Evangelion basically get Flanderized into this as a result of the anomaly.
• Temporarily Exaggerated Trait: Foundation staff who work on Site-026 and like Evangelion will really, really like Evangelion, much to the chagrin of everyone else.
• Vagueness Is Coming: The NGE fans on staff start talking about a Day of Impact around 2006...which just refers to the release of Rebuild of Evangelion a year later.

6300- 6399

SCP-6326 - The Manbear

• Affectionate Parody: Of cryptozoology fanbases.
• Bears Are Bad News: Downplayed. It's only as aggressive as an actual bear and most of its aggressive reactions are done for typical bear-like reasons.
• Loved by All: The Manbear has his own fan club.
• Mix-and-Match Critters: The Manbear itself is a centaur with the head and torso of a bear and the body of a human.
• Naked People Are Funny: The Manbear's human half is naked and apparently, VERY well-endowed.
• Teleportation: Attempting to remove it from its territory results in it returning to said territory. As such, the only way the Foundation could contain it was by blocking off said territory from the public.
• You Sexy Beast: The fan club for the Manbear includes at least one member who is wildly attracted to him.

6400- 6499

SCP-6415 - Tragedy of the Reptile Man

• Driven to Suicide: The first thing SCP-6415 did when the Foundation discovered him was throwing himself in the nearby river in an attempt to drown itself. When the Foundation tests his physical limits by withholding food, he does nothing about it, implying that he's perfectly willing to starve himself.
• The Eeyore: Due to losing all of its friends and family, its two default moods are passive and fits of inconsolable sobbing.
• Lizard Folk: SCP-6415 is the last of a race of crocodile men from the Congo that was inadvertently driven to extinction in the Foundation's efforts to contain a different SCP that had breached containment.
• Non-Malicious Monster: Despite its crocodilian features and preference for raw meat, SCP-6415 is entirely harmless to Foundation staff and humans in general. When dead specimens were dissected, they detected no human flesh in their stomach cavity, whatever food they had found being fish and domesticated animals.
• Sapient All Along: While it was capable of emoting like humans and cooperating with Foundation personnel, they were not convinced it had human intelligence and thought of it as more like an animal. It wasn't until they had found it writing "PLEASE BRING THEM BACK" with one of its fingers did they realize just how sapient he was, the depth of this realization resulting in various Foundation personnel either quitting, taking amnestics or trying to free him.

SCP-6442 - Mimir, Mímir

SCP-6442 is the most powerful cognitohazard in the Foundation's custody, a stone tablet that instantly kills any sentient being that comprehends over 70% of the information written on it.

Except it is not a product of any of the GoIs, nor a particularly powerful anomaly outside of the Foundation. It's theirs. The purpose of SCP-6442 is to destroy any being that achieves omniscience in order to keep the Foundation's secrets safe, as any being that achieves omniscience will learn SCP-6442 and be destroyed by it because it can destroy even the most powerful minds.

---

• Everyone Has Standards: The GOC, normally the first organization willing to gun for anomaly destruction, is horrified by SCP-6442's use as a weapon of war against sapient anomalies and has been fighting for an unknown period of time to neutralize it.
• Humans Are the Real Monsters: The strongest cognitohazard in the universe is a Foundation creation, and they've already used it to murder over 8000 people, including 2000 GOC agents. It's implied its absolutely draconian containment procedures are merely for political reasons as the GOC tries desperately to get rid of the tablet and disarm the Foundation.
• There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The containment procedures have become increasingly ridiculous in response to (justified) political outrage over its use. To elaborate, the containment site has the following:
  • An obscured geographical location patrolled by robots that shoot down anything and anyone not allowed inside and know magic.
  • Fifteen decoy chambers and tablets in a maze-like structure.
  • A tungsten sphere suspended above the floor of each chamber to hold SCP-6442 and the decoys, to maximize the difficulty required to open it.
  • Anti-Nuke 'em and anti-eigenweapon defenses.
  • Amnestics hosing down the chambers at all times.
  • Reality anchors, temporal sinks, and nullifiers of Akiva radiation to prevent Reality Warpers, Time Travel, and gods respectively from invading.
  • MTF Tau-5 "Samsara."

SCP-6448 - Not Deer

• Animalistic Abomination: It's essentially a deer trying to imitate a human form, with truly terrifying results.
• Body Horror: Imagine a deer trying to imitate the basic anatomy of a human being, tearing muscle and skin and breaking bones to achieve this process.
• Don't Look At Me: The "Cervus Protocol" Foundation personal are instructed to do when they encounter an instance of SCP-6448 is to not look directly at it and pretend that you don't know it's there, lest it fly into a rage and beat you to death.
• Parasite Zombie: Instances of SCP-6448 that the Foundation had been able to contain and a few they encounter in the wild will have black tendrils bursting out of its body, leaving a torn-up deer carcass behind, implying that all instances were regular deer who were being horribly mutated by an anomalous parasite.
• Wendigo: SCP-6448 shares a lot of characteristics with the creature of myth; a humanoid deer-like Undead Abomination that can imitate human speech as it lurks in the dark woods, stalking humans.

SCP-6474 Our Last Cry

• 20 Minutes into the Future: This entry was written in 2022 and takes place in 2028.
• Alternative Calendar: Somehow, November 31 is a date.
• Apocalypse How: Effectively class 3. Humanity does not go extinct, but all of humanity is implied to become brain dead.
• And I Must Scream: Early symptoms of the phenomenon cause people to become mute, slowly progressing to the point of brain death. Retroactively.
• Apocalyptic Log: Each iteration of the file shows more and more people succumbing to SCP-6474.
• Bait-and-Switch: At first, it seems like SCP-6474 is altering transcripts and adding things that were never said. Then we learn that it is actually retroactively making people mute, insane, and eventually brain dead.
• Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Transcripts are immune to SCP-6474.
• Self-Harm: Solomon Xiong uses tweezers to tear out his own eardrums.
• The Unreveal: It is never stated exactly what this phenomenon is.
• Wham Line: Version 3 of the file reveals that SCP-6474 is not what we thought:

SCP-6474 is a retrocausal phenomenon that removes any and all spoken communications in an individual's history from baseline reality.

• Wham Shot: The fifth and final version of the file is a blank page.

SCP-6483 - The Polar Express

6500- 6599

SCP-6500 - Inevitable

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the multiple canons folder. Further expanded in the No Return folder.

SCP-6511 - OBLIVION ACCESS

SCP-6511 is a document only accessible by the Foundation's Department of One, consisting at all times of a single member. When opened, it is revealed to be an emergency protocol that erases the Foundation from baseline reality in situations where its existence becomes a liability to itself and the world, leaving only the Department of One to carry on and rebuild once it is safe.

---

• An Aesop: Your actions are defined not just by the "what" and "how," but the "why" as well. At the end of everything, a reason to fight beyond simply staying alive might just be the key to saving it all.
• Central Theme: To paraphrase a statement by one of the authors, it's about how important it is to know why you're doing something, not just what it is or how you will accomplish that. Otherwise, you'll forget, or put in a half-hearted effort, or fail entirely.
• Cosmic Retcon: The Foundation's answer to whatever could find and destroy it with no means of containing or destroying it first is to Restart the World without SCP Foundation itself, the one and only agent given the clearance to read the file being expected to bring the Foundation back afterwards. SCP-6511 itself isn't the reset button so much as an instruction manual for its reader on what to expect when it happens.
• Cryptically Unhelpful Answer: The file instructs the Department of One to bring the Foundation back from a Cosmic Retcon and try to avoid whatever is hunting it. How? Even the Foundation doesn't know.
• Godzilla Threshold: SCP-6511 is only activated in the event that an entity or organization capable of subverting and destroying the SCP-Foundation (or worse) makes itself known.
• Living Is More than Surviving: Part of SCP-6511's instructions is a promise to remember everything and everyone in the Foundation and bring them back as soon as they can. Even if the unknown threat makes the Foundation a liability to itself, wouldn't it be pointless to at least try to fight back, knowing everything it's taken from you?
• Nothing Is Scarier: The Foundation is aware of the existence of something capable of hunting down and destroying the Foundation and everything within its power and authority that would warrant a Cosmic Retcon where all but one of its members are erased from history. What is it? What does it look like? How does it operate? Why is it doing this? No idea, no idea, no idea and no idea. Even the instructions on the file from the Department of One just says "Don't panic when it happens, try not to forget your mission, and run like hell". The file blatantly leaves out any real plan because this scenario was made for an enemy and situation the Foundation would be completely unprepared for.
• "Ray of Hope" Ending: The other main theme of the article: the Foundation is dead, and there's probably so much more gone with them, but you can always try again as long as you remember why.

SCP-6556 - DINOVLOGS!

SCP-6556 is an anomalous YouTube channel titled "TheLifeOfRex." It runs the titular series, which focuses on a sapient T-Rex named Ty Rex as he goes about life in the Mesozoic while vlogging about it like a modern YouTuber. All signs point towards Ty and his adventures having actually existed during that time period through unknown means, and his videos contain a cognitohazard that compels most viewers to accept that without question.
The document also has an attached supplement, BONEBED, which revolves around the Foundation's continued investigation of his channel.

---

• Anachronism Stew: Ty's vlogs sound like a modern YouTuber's ilk and were recorded with a video camera. He has internet access which isn't disrupted even after a meteor impact. There's a neon beer sign in one of his hideouts. Nobody really knows why, and most are compelled to not question it.
• Cerebus Callback: BONEBED briefly has Ty relive his YouTuber Apology Parody bit in a trauma and hunger-induced hallucination.
• Comically Missing the Point: In the article, a bunch of scientists are using one of Ty's vlogs to discuss some paleontological research due to its cognitohazardous effects. When one participant calls them out, they seem to get the hint, but then simply conclude that dinosaurs must've invented the internet and video camera.
• Downer Ending: Ty was born on the cusp of the K-T extinction, and his 37th video has his home devastated by the meteor. He spends months as a traumatized wreck desperately clinging to any hope of not being the only one left alive, but is strongly implied to die from hunger in the ruins of his nest.
• Furry Reminder: Ty may have a camera and the internet, and the other dinosaurs he talks to are sapient like him, but they're all still dinosaurs who will eat and mess with each other for food, sport, and just because.
• Harmful to Minors: Ty is stated to be a juvenile for his species. BONEBED has him clearly traumatized by being the Sole Survivor of the K-T extinction.
• Men Don't Cry: Invoked; Ty spends BONEBED pretending nothing's wrong so that he can look "cool" to his audience.
• Mirthless Laughter: Done by Ty in BONEBED after Penny dies and he has to shove her body into a pile of bones. It's very obvious he's actually quite hurt and wants to mourn for her, yet is still trying to look cool in front of the camera.
• YouTuber Apology Parody: Ty is forced to apologize in one video for eating a bunch of parasauropholus eggs. He seems mostly genuine unlike most cases of the trope, however —
  At the time, I was unaware of the hurt this would cause, but now I am, so I apologize for being unaware of the impact of my actions at the time I undertook them. If I could go back now, and replay the eating of those parasaurolophus eggs, would I do the same thing?
  Yes. Absolutely. They were absolutely delicious. But I'd do it knowing the full consequences of my actions.

SCP-6599 - HOGSLICE

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps.

6600- 6699

SCP-6618 - "Papa!"

A tape depicting a missing college student named James Vane being mentally tortured by an entity known as "Papa" (SCP-6618-A) in ways mimicking typical child discipline methods.

---

• Abusive Parents: "Papa" isn't actually a parent (hopefully), but he certainly acts like one to his victims, who he kidnaps, claims are his children and "disciplines" in the manner of an actual parent until they mentally regress to an infant.
• And I Must Scream: The fate of James and the rest of Papa's victims, reduced to decayed and malnourished corpses but still apparently alive, crying like babies and repeating "Papa" over and over.
• Emotional Regression: As a result of Papa's abuse, Vane's mental state shows a slow but noticable regression: He starts off the article as a twenty-year old college student before his voice starts to mimic that of a pre-pubescent boy and eventually begins to mimic the behavior of an infant near the end of the article by lying down in a Troubled Fetal Position and wailing like an infant.
• Fate Worse than Death: Being dumped down a well and literally left to rot after mentally regressing to a baby.
• Gaslighting: Papa blatantly does this to James throughout the article, insisting that he loves him and he's just being ungrateful.
• Hope Spot: In one episode, James seemingly manages to beat Papa by taping over the spotlight so he can't turn it off and come over to get him, only to get so caught up in gloating over him that he doesn't notice Papa starting to rip the tape off until it's too late, followed by Papa physically attacking him and implicitly mutilating his face and breaking his bones.
• Karma Houdini: Papa has escaped by the time the Foundation manage to track him down.
• Not the First Victim: Hundreds of previous victims are found under Papa's cabin, still alive and in various states of decay.
• Villainous Breakdown: Papa experiences one when it looks like James is about to escape, angrily repeating "NONONONONO" over and over again before brutally assaulting him once he figures out how to reach him.

SCP-6630 - Fire On The Horizon

A predatory creature that looks almost identical to fire, and preys on social creatures (like humans) by burning them to nourish itself. After it breaches containment, resulting in the deaths of most personnel in its facility, surviving engineer Henrietta Boone tries to leave the Foundation.

---

Tropes in general

• Obstructive Bureaucrat: Taken to cartoonishly evil extremes (as expected) by the Fire Suppression Department to stop Boone from leaving the Foundation, combined with healthy servings of blackmail and extortion.
  • Following this trope's more incompetent side, it is implied that SCP-6630's file has not been updated 20 years after the fact, even though Boone's fruitless struggle in the same timeframe to quit is meticulously documented. Presumably, the Fire Suppression Department is too concerned with her staying to care.

Tropes associated with SCP- 6630 itself:

• Bullet Catch: It does something similar. It can manipulate itself with enough heat and precision to melt bullets so its victims can't be simply put out of their misery with gunshots.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Dying from immolation is already pretty horrible, but two key differences make 6630 way, way worse: First, it's combustion is much slower, lasting hours if not days. Second, it keeps the victims alive the entire time, and conscious for about a third of the total burn time (immolation victims usually pass out from pain in a few minutes).
• Hellfire: Behaves like this. Sentient fire that is near-impossible to put out and needs to burn living things to survive, all while causing them horrible pain for long after regular fire is supposed to kill them.
• It Can Think: A cunning thing that managed to outsmart its containment procedures, understanding that a tiny enough ember could trick the heat detectors on its cell. It can also tell when someone tries to kill it's prey prematurely, and act accordingly.
• Kill It W Ith Fire: Yes, it does this. More importantly, this is the only way to stop it. It cannot share a fuel source with regular fire.

Tropes associated with Engineer Boone

• Action Survivor: Lived through 6630's breach by locking herself and a few lucky survivors in an empty containment cell.
• Survivor's Guilt: What makes her obsessed with updating 6630's data, according to her therapist.

SCP-6634 - Where the flood didn't reach

A species of anomalous wool-like algae that forms the base of the ecosystem in a cave full of of Paleozoic life. Instead of a standard article, a point-and-click game follows Doctor Indira Sanghera after she becomes trapped in the cave during routine research. The SCP-6634 article is open on her tablet and updates with new information depending on your actions in-game.

---

• Earn Your Bad Ending: The only ending where Indira doesn't get rescued is the one where she decides to explore SCP-6634-1 without any preparation. She only does this if the player selects the option to do so over Commander O'Cuill's explicit warnings not to.
• Monster Compendium: The SCP-6634 article has sub-articles for each of the animals found in the cave. The existing ones update as you find out more about them and new articles are unlocked for each new creature you find.
• Multiple Endings: The game has four endings:
  • Indira passes out from dehydration and is expected to recover after being found by the rescue team. This one happens if you don't find a way to filter the cave's water.
  • Indira is rescued, but never finds out that Agent Chen's body disappeared. This ending happens if you get a steady water supply, but otherwise doesn't leave her campsite until the rescue team shows up.
  • Indira is rescued after having spent her time in the cave researching the creatures that live in it. Getting the Arthrocaris to appear changes the dialogue in this ending. This ending is caused by getting a steady water supply and leaving the campsite on days two and/or three.
  • Indira decides to explore SCP-6634-1 with no preparation and never returns. This ending only happens with the player's direct input.
• Point-and-Click Game: The framing device for the article. You can pick up some of the creatures in the cave and use them as bait for others. There are even a few choices that affect the ending.
• Portal Pool: Downplayed. It's not the pool itself, but SCP-6634 that acts as a portal to a much larger space where most of the critters in the cave come from, designated SCP-6634-1.

SCP-6666 - The Demon Hector and the Dread Titania

Tropes associated with The Demon Hector

• Aerith and Bob: "Hector" is a pretty normal name compared to his fellow knights Lancelot, Ogier and La Hire.
• Badass Boast: His proclamations to Titania when the Foundation inadvertently weakens the can holding the Children of the Night. It's far too long to list in its entirely, so paraphrased:
  HEAR ME, DREAD TITANIA. HEAR ME NOW, AND TREMBLE. TREMBLE NOW AS YOU DID WHEN I DROVE MY LANCE INTO YOUR BLEEDING CHEST.
  I STRUCK YOU DOWN, DEMON OF YORE. I WRENCHED OPEN YOUR BODY AND BROKE YOU. I AM HECTOR, THE DIVINE FIRE OF MY LORD'S PERFECT WILL. ANSWER TO ME NOW, DREAD TITANIA.
  HEAR ME, AND TREMBLE.
• Face of a Thug: Hector looks just as intimidating as his fellow knights, with six eyes on an otherwise featureless face and a gargantuan, malformed body with six arms, but he remains truly loyal to mankind.
• Good All Along: Hector is ultimately revealed to be helping to keep the Children of the Night unconscious by forcing Titania (in her form as the giant tree) to expel a poisonous fog. The Foundation decides to incapacitate Hector...and the Children start waking up as a result.
• Kill the God: Hector defeated the dread goddess Titania and is currently guarding her corpse to make sure she doesn't get up again.
• Token Good Teammate: Unlike the other great knights, Hector remained loyal to the house of Apollyon.
• Undying Loyalty: Not even being gradually transformed into a monster affected Hector's loyalty; the Hub page for the storyline that this article is part of describes Hector as being loyal "to the point of obsession," with his devotion to the House of Apollyon exceeding his devotion to his own wives.
• Was Once a Man: The Demon Hector was transformed from a handsome knight into a six-armed giant; the same also applies to the other knights of the House of Apollyon.

Tropes associated with the Dread Titania

• Adaptational Villainy: Not her as she was introduced in this story, but Invoked with her children, also known as SCP-1000, or Bigfoot, are far more malevolent in this incarnation. While in SCP-1000 they were said to be a race of Abusive Precursors, they ultimately seemed to forgive humanity for overthrowing them and wished to make amends with them. Here, they're a race of Obliviously Evil Psychopathic Manchildren who enjoy torturing humans with innocent, childlike glee, and can only communicate through the nightmares of nearby humans. The original SCP-1000 article is revealed to have been written before the original author, Tilda Moose, defected from the Serpent's Hand to join the Foundation. Before she was born, even. It is believed that the article was written by an unknown third party to trick the Foundation into trusting the Bigfoot for unknown reasons.
• Berserk Button: As the goddess of the stars, Titania got royally pissed when Adam el Asem plucked a star from the night sky and made it his crown, which led to the first war between the humans and the Fae.
• Face–Heel Turn: Betrayed the Fae for neglecting the Bigfoot, which she created for them. She ultimately became their goddess instead, and seemingly had no problem with their method of worship.
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: An example where it was the mistreatment of someone else that caused the betrayal. The fae treated her well, in fact, she was their most revered goddess. They did not show the same love for The Bigfoot, which they saw as abominations that resembled humanity too closely. Ultimately Titania abandoned the fae out of pity for the Bigfoot, and became their goddess. Given the nature of the Bigfoot, this also meant accepting their method of worship, which involved sinking human and fae settlements into the ground and wiping them from memory as offerings.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: She's kept in place by Hector's efforts, but she's also a terrifying goddess who would wipe out humanity if she could. It also turns out that she is the can, since the pollen that Hector forces her to expel is keeping the children of the night docile.
• World Tree: SCP-6666 is the corpse of the fae goddess Titania, a massive, upside-down tree that stretches downwards by over nine kilometers.

Tropes associated with the article as a whole

• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Foundation's attempts to clear out the fog from the canyon in order to allow a manned exploration of the cavern's floor almost allows the Children of the Night to wake back up, before Hector breaks the seal and gets the fog flowing again.
• Sequel Hook: Though the story gives a lot of answers regarding the ongoing narrative of "the Kaktusverse," it very much ends on this note, with at least one major chapter left to be explored. Though both Titania and the Children of the Night are, for the moment, contained, and though Hector appears to be at least broadly on the Foundation's side, the fourth knight, Ogier, is still out there somewhere and might well still represent a threat. And of course, there's the matter of the mysterious "him" O5-1 mentioned as waiting on what's implied to be the lowest floor of the Department of Abnormalities, as well as the unknown Greater-Scope Villain who falsified the SCP-1000 article in the Foundation's records.

SCP-6672 - Arbitrary Apotheosis

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

SCP-6689 - M🜂ZE

SCP-6689 is a vaguely-defined entity invading human thought. The Foundation secures it by breaking up all information about it into a maze-like structure of links, which translates to a literal maze in the noosphere.

---

• Alternate Continuity: Of ADMONITION, though it is explicitly not part of the greater Deepwell Catalogue. The divergence point is somewhere during the conflict of SCP-6659, where the extra-noospheric threat is not 3125, but some other entity with a fractal appearance connected to classical alchemy labelled as SCP-🜁🜁🜁🜁.
• Arc Symbol: The capital Greek letter for delta, variants of which the four entities the article is really about are referred to.
• Gamebooks: There's only one ending, but the anomaly requires breaking up all information about it into a format like this. The twist is that it has to be structured like a maze, so there's loops and dead ends that aren't the actual ending to be had.
• Meaningful Name: The SCP's number looks very close to SCP-6659, which is where the divergence point from the canon ADMONITION timeline that forms 6689 is located.
• Order vs. Chaos: The true SCP-6689 is in fact duelling but parallel conflicts between two pairs of conceptual entities that symbolize this trope: on order's side is SCP-🜂🜂🜂🜂 and SCP-🜃🜃🜃🜃, representing humanity and containment, and on chaos's side is SCP-🜁🜁🜁🜁 and SCP-🜄🜄🜄🜄, representing inhuman things and the anomalous.
• Rule of Symbolism: Invoked. As it turns out, alchemy only really works with ideas, not actual things, meaning you need something that symbolizes the elements but is not necessarily connected to the elements otherwise. So the full SCP-6689 containment cycle is handed off to the Department of Transmutation because all four entities trapped in it stand in for the four elements of earth, water, fire, and air, while the Overseers provide the fifth element of aether to keep it running after the department decides to split up for the greater good.
• Stating the Simple Solution: Implied when the ending mentions the Overseers had considered consulting SCP-🜃🜃🜃🜃 for advice on how to contain some other gods, but found the idea redundant. It's understandable, really; if you have a perfectly good solution laying around (say, a machine that tears gods out of their connection to the human realm), you probably don't need to ring up the god of containment for assistance.
• Through the Eyes of Madness: It's implied you're taking the perspective of either SCP-🜁🜁🜁🜁 or whatever the individual entity SCP-6689 actually is, assuming they aren't the same. Because trying to go through the links is part of the containment protocol, this only adds to the Mind Screw of the format.
• Two Lines, No Waiting: Wander around in the choices long enough and you'll run into the conflict between Prometheus from SCP-6659 and the god he was synthesized to counter (actually SCP-🜂🜂🜂🜂 and SCP-🜁🜁🜁🜁), while already following the main narrative of finding the description of 6689 itself.

SCP-6697 - Serenity Never

SCP-6697 is a series of videotapes produced by the Totleighsoft Corporation, titled simply as "Sho Must Gowon," though only one tape in the collection has been identified and contained at present: SCP-6697-1, "SENIFOLD: Sesons one throw infinatee." Featuring the TV series Seinfeld, the tape changes every time the tape is watched from beginning to end, providing a new episode with every viewing until the series extends far beyond its historical finale - to the point that it might literally go on forever. Interesting results begin to ensue when George Costanza begins to notice this...

---

• And I Must Scream: Nothing George does will stop the show, nor can he kill himself. All he can do is continue on with the series while growing steadily more deranged, all while trying in vain to get the show cancelled by the network, totally unaware that this version of Seinfeld is now trapped on an anomalous videotape and cannot be cancelled. For added horror, the most recent title reveals that he's been trying to get the show cancelled for 126 episodes in a row.
• Apocalypse How: George killing Jerry in a fit of rage causes most of the cast to spontaneously die off and the show's name to become "Costanzer." Much of this "season" is George Walking the Earth and going mad.
• Ascended Extra: Invoked. The show's "continuation" results in one-off characters becoming recurring, such as a hippie named "Moon Man" Elaine enters into an affair with.
• Big Damn Heroes: Discussed. One of the first lines of the article mentions an ongoing inquiry on how to improve the living conditions of the video's occupant. Then you read the article and find out why.
• Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: After becoming the last surviving character in the show and spending several episodes in misery, George shoots himself with a gun; after that doesn't work, he throws himself out of the window and when that fails too, George attempts to shoot himself while falling down from of the window. It doesn't work out either.
• Downer Ending: The article ends with the reveal that George has been trying to cancel the show at least 126 times and getting no response. Explains why the Foundation put a ban on viewings.
• Everyone Has Standards: The Foundation eventually decided they could no longer justify putting the tape's version of George through any more torment and banned any further viewing of the tape, while also looking into ways to intercede with the tape's universe.
• Go Mad from the Isolation: George's insanity only deepens when he ends up killing the rest of the show's cast in an attempt to stop the narrative, leaving him alone in New York City. Subsequent episodes feature him wandering in a daze, futilely looking for survivors, repeatedly trying to kill himself, and occasionally sitting alone in the deserted ruins of Monk's Cafe, weeping.
• Go Mad from the Revelation: Upon hearing the laugh track, George is reduced to screaming, naked, excrement-wearing insanity in his desperate attempt to get the show taken off the air.
• "I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight: Less "fight" and more "tussle," but Jerry is left aghast when George pulls him into the apartment bathroom in the penultimate text-box. He spends his last moments trying and failing to talk George down, even invoking the 'Totleighsoft' name to get some leeway.
• Naked Nutter: After he finally realizes the truth of the matter, George is next seen stark naked, smeared in his own feces in a maddened attempt to offend the audience.
• Noticing the Fourth Wall: George becomes increasingly aware that he's a character in a sitcom, becoming increasingly agitated over jump cut transitions and his inability to leave the show's setting. It's not until the end that he finally notices the laugh track, which proves to be the breaking point for his sanity. It's implied Jerry has long been aware of the sitcom situation too; becoming more vocal the more George breaks character.
• Offscreen Romance: George eventually enters one with a character named Audra. Some of his Sanity Slippage is the result of this being sabotaged by the show's format teleporting him into mandatory scenes against his will.
• Off the Rails: George's habit of Noticing the Fourth Wall throws off the intended narrative of the episodes, especially since he frequently throws tantrums or attempts to exit the scene. Other characters are left trying to continue the episodes without him, to the point that Jerry finds himself awkwardly reciting his half of an intended conversation with George long after the character has stormed out. Jerry eventually finds himself reacting out-of-character too and even apologizing to someone off-screen for George's actions.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Deconstructed. When George starts going on a crime spree, none of the characters he attacks so much as notice their injuries and in fact come back, which only increases George's awareness of his situation. Jerry is the sole exception to this, trying desperately to get George to calm down and play ball with the story.
• We Cannot Go On Without You: George kills Jerry in a fit of rage near the end of the article. As Jerry is the main character, the rest of the show's cast suddenly dies off, leaving George in an apocalyptic hellhole.
• We Used to Be Friends: As soon as George starts developing self-awareness, one of the first things he does is distance himself from Jerry and the others to the best of his ability. While he does manage to find a spouse off-screen, he remains beholden to the show's format. At least part of his Sanity Slippage can be attributed to being forced into episode-scenes at the worst conceivable times, like said spouse's funeral.

6700- 6799

SCP-6723 - Untitled.

---

• Running Gag: A man named "Derek" keeps pestering Dr. Parker; at one point, he even breathes down her shoulder.
• Stylistic Suck: This happens to her writing as the transcripts go on, due to brain damage from the glass.
• Taken for Granite: Dr. Elyse Parker gradually dies due to several of her organs turning to glass after handling the corpse of a little girl named Ruth Clark.
• Too Dumb to Live: Elyse should never have touched Ruth's corpse (although to be honest, the glass that killed Ruth looked an awful lot like dust).
• The Virus: Apparently, the growths of glass that killed Elyse were also responsible for Ruth's death beforehand.

SCP-6730 - Pocket Universe C-223

---

• And I Must Scream: This used to be the case for the narrator (due to them reliving their death by gunshot), but now they're happier.
• Haunted Technology: How the narrator managed to get revenge on the staff at Site-921 who killed them.
• Pocket Dimension: It's where the documentation was recovered from, and where the narrator's ghost resides.
• Posthumous Character: Unusually, it's the narrator of the documentation.
• Reality Warper: What the narrator's ghost has now become in their pocket dimension.

SCP-6733 - Knife. Scream. Cut to Black II

---

• Analog Horror: It's an anomalous VHS tape with an entity taking the form of Sackhead Slasher killing his victims in the film. While the tape is Safe-Class, it is left vague if the events of Addendum 6733.1 and 6733.2 had actually happened or if the VHS tape had simply changed its contents.
• Don't Go in the Woods: Addendum 6733.1 presented the contents of the tape showing SCP-6733-1 killing campers in an unknown forest.
• Slasher Movie: The film is a sequel to the equally anomalous SCP-5733, SCP-5733-1 (here called SCP-6733-1) appearing as a Serial Killer picking off campers one-by-one in an especially gory late-80's horror movie.

SCP-6747 - CHAOS THEORY

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

SCP-6765 - The Demon Ogier and the Bleeding Throne of Malidraug

Tropes associated with Javert, SCP-6765-C:

• Token Good Teammate: He is this to the rest of the Children of the Night. He shows no ill will towards the Foundation or humanity at large, and has spent his time at SCP-6765 caring for Ogier and SCP-6765-A.

Tropes associated with the Demon Ogier:

• Body Horror: From the description provided, he is a normal human partially embedded in the much larger "post-morph" form, with his upper torso, head and left arm sticking out. Oh, and his legs are visible, but they are fused together at the base of the post-morph's spine.
• Breaking Old Trends: In contrast to the other great knights, Ogier was able to disrupt his transformation and remain (somewhat) human.
• Eyeless Face: In the image provided for him, one of his eyes is covered over with flesh.

SCP-6778 - When the Sleeper Wakes

• Adventures in Comaland: SCP-6778 is a tavern straight out of the Old West that can only be visited by coma patients. There's drinking, dancing, weird symbolism and plenty of hot soup to go around!
• Chess with Death: More specifically, poker with death. The exact nature of Mr. Fate isn't clear, although anyone who challenges him to a game of poker is faced with two possible outcomes: if they win, they get to wake up from their coma and return to their lives. If Mr. Fate wins, they die.
• Inn Between the Worlds: SCP-6778 appears to exist on a plane between life and death, as suggested by the fact that it's always twilight, and the building's only clock has no hands, referencing the timeless nature of the place.
• Saloon Owner: The Seven Sleepers' Saloon is apparently owned by an individual called "Doc", although no visitors have ever reported seeing him.
• Shout-Out: The title is a reference to H.G. Wells' novel of the same name.

6800- 6899

SCP-6800 - The White Ashes

• And I Must Scream: SCP-6800 instances in the form of Pygnite seem to retain some capacity for communication and also keep the memories of the nameless individuals processed into this state.
• Human Resources: SCP-6800 is manufactured via processing the unfortunate residents of a certain forest.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The article at times refers to residents of a particular forest as nothing more than raw material to produce Pygnite.

SCP-6820 - TERMINATION ATTEMPT

See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the Site-17 Deepwell Catalog folder.

SCP-6854 - Where the Cogcows Roam

• Clockwork Creature: SCP-6854 is a species of clockwork cattle that makes oil instead of milk, have umbrellas for tails (handy for preventing rust!), and can even shoot bullets from their horns. No power source is mentioned (presumably, they run on pure whimsy).
• Fearsome Crittersof American Folklore: The cogcows are obviously inspired by these, being a fantastical animal that blurs the line between the natural and mechanical - they even having their own pseudo-Latin designstion (bos machinus).
• Shoot the Rope: After a big-game hunter is killed trying to capture one of the creatures, his son is wrongly accused of his murder (naturally, noone believes his dad was actually shot by a metal cow). As he's being hanged, a cogcow (presumably, the same one) shows up and shoots the rope - saving the young man's life, and confirming he was telling the truth the whole time.

SCP-6863 - Toxic Positivity

SCP-6863 was a button that would say "That's a wonderful idea!" whenever pressed. Whoever pressed the button would be compelled to carry out an action they were thinking of, without foresight and taking great pleasure and self-justification in the act. This effect has no limit and extends to morally reprehensible acts like murder.
The button broke when one Dr. Taylor in charge of its containment was killed by a belligerent agent who pressed it while trying to murder her.

---

• An Aesop: Positivity alone cannot mend the wounds of trauma and mental illness.
• Double-Meaning Title: It primarily refers to the psychotic glee of the narrator, but it can also refer to Dr. Taylor trying to use the button as a replacement for amnestics used to remove traumas. As it turns out, overconfidence is not what you should give to shell-shocked agents who might envy your position, especially when it's not treating the cause.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Dr. Taylor decides the button's effects of granting overconfidence and conviction would make a great replacement for amnestics. You don't need a psychology major to see why this isn't a great idea for agents suffering from PTSD.
  Further testing utilizing SCP-6863 as a means of improving morale within the ranks of Class C individuals is currently being spearheaded by Dr. ███████ Taylor. Utilizing SCP-6863 as a possible alternative to amnestics for agents suffering from psychological traumaaaaAAAA oh golly I guess that's my cue
• Painting the Medium: "That's a wonderful idea!" Like killing Dr. Taylor! Or writing gibberish like sorbe5bxe6j! Or fiddling around with the case file!
• A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: It caused this when Dr. Taylor was killed, turning her killer and the narrator into a deranged psychopath who spares no expense mocking her while everyone else in the site prepares to detain a normal human being with minimal effort.

SCP-6868 - Bubbly Bobby the Rubber Ducky

• Hates Being Touched: The rubber ducky has haphephobia and actively attempts to hop away from humans trying to touch it.
• Lethal Harmless Powers: It's a purple rubber ducky that purifies all water it touches and adds soap liquid to it, including the water inside the human body.

SCP-#### - The sad man

SCP-6869 is a living artwork known as "Sad Man" who once was a man named Fred Johnson. His tears force anyone they touch to start crying like him, which is pretty dangerous because Johnson's life story is unfinished, making the Sad Man artwork so incredibly boring and unappealing that the Foundation's entry isn't finished yet either.

---

• The Bore: He's a prime example of this, so much so that 134 researchers still haven't assigned him an actual number.
• Creator Breakdown: An In-Universe artistic example.
• Painting the Medium: SCP-6869 is unfinished because of Creator Breakdown (there isn't even a reason why Fred's sad and crying, even though his tears force anyone they touch to start crying like him). Disinterest in him is so, like, contagious that there's no actual number assigned to Sad Man, the entry is filled with Rouge Angles of Satin, and a total of 134 different researchers have worked on the motherf―
• Stylistic Suck: His entry is full of this because he's so unappealing and his tears don't even bring empathy to anyone.

6900- 6999

SCP-6930 - 🔴 Paty Is Streaming Now!

SCP-6930's avatar during a live stream

SCP-6930 is a Pattern Screamer that has somehow managed to access the internet and PC software, developing a Virtual YouTuber streaming persona in the process. The Foundation is greatly concerned about its continued existence, as it is in fact the secret older "sister" of the misanthropic, world-ending SCP-3930.

---

• Adorable Abomination: Invoked. SCP-6930 is a particularly powerful Pattern Screamer that anthropomorphizes itself as a Virtual Youtuber for the entertainment of humans and its own enjoyment, and nothing else.
• Doing It for the Art: In-Universe, SCP-6930 only wants money because it's a sign of doing well, and not because it needs it for anything in particular. As a result, it refuses as much payment as possible when the Foundation discusses restarting its streaming career.
• Good Counterpart: To SCP-3930. 3930 was born after 6930 in the Usinsk forest, prefers to stay non-existent, and nearly doomed the world out of its misanthropy when too many of the GRU-P researchers gave it existence. 6930, on the other hand, is the older of the two, managed to obtain a "complete" existent form after choosing to endure the process, and currently lives among humanity moonlighting as a Virtual Youtuber in peace.
• Haunted Technology: It's a Pattern Screamer that figured out how to use the Internet.
• Heel Realization: SCP-6930 realizes that existing isn't painful for its species given enough time, and as a result tries to reach out to humanity to maintain that.
• I Have Many Names: SCP-6930 assumes three different identities over the course of the article as it endures the ups and downs of the Virtual Youtuber career: Patricia "Paty" Skinner, Claire Cloverfield, and an unnamed Holomem from the future.
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: SCP-6930 is every trait ever used to describe a Pattern Screamer on the site rolled up into one individual, yet it takes the form of a conventionally-attractive young woman, has a very sweet personality, and convinces the lead researcher of its containment to give it what it wants entirely out of its innocence.
• My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Of all five incidences with the Pattern Screamers encountered in the past, the common trait they share is that they are actively misanthropic or directly opposed to the Foundation: the ones mentioned in SCP-1795 wiped out an intergalactic empire, SCP-000 and SCP-S resent the Foundation for different reasons, SCP-3930 may doom the world if too many people know about it, and SCP-5170/Josephus Blake is essentially an Anthropomorphic Personification of the Frivolous Lawsuit who latched onto the wishes of a grieving mother and took control of the US legal system. SCP-6930, on the other hand, held on to its continued existence long enough to pull a Heel Realization and try to co-exist with humanity without any catches.
• Mythology Gag: SCP-6930 depicts itself as having a body made of static, which is similar to how items destroyed by SCP-3426 appear. As the latter is in reality a bunch of evil Pattern Screamers propping up an intergalactic empire, this further illustrates 6930's Incorruptible Pure Pureness by associating with the mark of 3426's destruction yet is the exact opposite of the members of its species out conquering the universe.
• Painful Transformation: According to SCP-6930, the anguish from being made into existence is pain induced from the actual transformation, with it dissipating once they become "complete" in this regard. This is something SCP-000 and SCP-3930 are apparently unaware of, given their hostility.
• Shout-Out: SCP-6930 becomes a member of hololive in the far future.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: The circumstances of its creation would make SCP-3930 its younger "brother," though while 3930 has been known since its inception as a hateful wretch that prefers to stay non-existent in Usinsk lest something unspeakably horrifying happen, 6930 went undetected for decades after fleeing the forest and grew to adopt a genuine Nice Girl persona that depends on actual existence for its purpose.
• There Is Another: Downplayed. SCP-6930 triggers the Foundation's automated webcrawlers when it slips that it escaped from the Usinsk forest but is emphatically not SCP-3930, meaning the GRU-P wasn't studying just one Pattern Screamer. However, while SCP-3930 likely wasn't the last of the earthbound Pattern Screamers, only one other (Josephus Blake/SCP-5170) held as much potential as it until SCP-6930 left Usinsk, rendering its appearance cause for alarm.

SCP-6959 - A Very Strange Fumo

SCP-6959 is a Fumo plush of Cirno. It is composed entirely out of strange matter, and has all of the properties that entails. While not anomalous itself, the Foundation finds that fact deeply upsetting due to the implications of its origin.

---

• Armor-Piercing Response: Subverted; after Chalmers finishes screaming his head off at Roeren about how absurd things would be if SCP-6959 were to be classified as Explained and asks him just what exactly that means, Roeren calmly fires back: the Foundation doesn't know, and it doesn't matter. However, Roeren then tells Chalmers that there is a possibility the idea of a Cirno Fumo is literal perfection due to the laws of physics, prompting Chalmers to start a fistfight in Roeren's office.
• Awful Truth: SCP-6959 is non-anomalous. This would also mean that the idea of Cirno as we know her has existed in some capacity since the beginning of the universe, and if the theory of strange matter being the perfect "ground state" of all elementary particles is true, then the Cirno Fumo is in some aspect literal perfection. Chalmers and Roeren realize this independently and come to blows over it, prompting the Overseers to hide the truth from the rest of the Foundation to prevent any further arguments.
• Cold-Blooded Torture: After getting many unsuccessful results from ANGELTYPE and people involved with the creation of the Cirno plush, Chalmers orders "Enhanced Interrogation" on Jun'ya Ōta, the creator of Touhou. Yes, Chalmers ordered the torture of the creator of Touhou over a Fumo plush. Luckily, ZUN was amnestized and given medical treatment, but it still comes across as Disproportionate Retribution.
• Contrived Coincidence: The likeness of Cirno has existed since the dawn of time, caused by the fusion of two stars releasing strangelets that coalesced into the exact configuration needed to resemble a Fumo plush of her. With nothing anomalous behind those events, the Foundation is left scratching their heads at why this happened at all, and what it implies for humanity now that Cirno is a pop culture icon.
• Double-Meaning Title: It's a Fumo made out of strange matter, but it's also a Fumo with downright bizarre implications for humanity due to a lack of anomalous properties. In other words, it's both literally and figuratively a "strange" Fumo.
• This Cannot Be!: Everett Chalmers spends most of the article unable to believe SCP-6959 is non-anomalous, knowing what exactly that might imply.
• You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Roeren has this reaction when Chalmers purchases a normal Cirno Fumo to prove his point that SCP-6959 should be anomalous, since he just wasted $500 to gain ground in a losing argument.

SCP-6969- the joke is sex

SCP-6969 is the designation for a thaumaturgic biological process which occurs during ejaculation.

---

• Everyone Has Standards: The Ethics Committee stepped in when it became clear stopping SCP-6969 would do far more harm than good.
• "Groundhog Day" Loop: Whenever a man ejaculates, he experiences a two-second-long time loop that repeats for an unknowable length of time. Neural activity and the genetic composition of the sperm will be the only things that are preserved between the loops, though the former is reset once the loop ends. To the man in question, within his subjective time, this can last anywhere from sixteen days to 73 quintillion years.
• LOL, 69: Done deliberately, but Played for Horror.
• Nature Is Not Nice: SCP-6969 was originally thought to be the result of some kind of malicious force, but it's now theorized to simply be a product of human evolution; natural selection killed off anyone who didn't have the ability to erase their memories of the loop. Head Researcher Nathan Brown came to this conclusion when he heard the theory from his colleague.
  "I cannot fathom a world of such suffering, where we were conceived in such brutal conditions, made to endure such horrors, and die an eventual, meaningless death. Sex is a joke. And we're the punchline."
• Psychosexual Horror: The genetic variability which has allowed humanity to survive, and may have been what allowed us to become intelligent in the first place, is the result of an undetectable time loop that traps us in place for potentially eons of suffering at a time and then erases our memories of it ever happening. The Foundation's conclusion is that this looping ability evolved naturally, and without it, birth defects and fatal mutations would become more common until we're no longer able to reproduce at all.

SCP-6997 - De Rerum Natura

Tropes associated with Raoul Acosta:

• Apocalyptic Log: Acosta details his experiments with SCP-6997 and the Sanity Slippage that results in a journal, culminating with his suicide.
• Cessation of Existence: Acosta comes to believe this about death, but finds solace in the fact that the Memory Jar properties of SCP-6997 will preserve his memories (and the memories of all humans who have ever existed) presumably for eternity.
• Driven to Suicide: A combination of grief from his friend's death and the memories assimilated from SCP-6997 leads to Acosta's mental state deteriorating and culminates in him committing suicide.
• Humans Are Bastards: Acosta, embittered by the death of his friend in Vietnam, struggles with the belief that human nature is fundamentally warlike and that the peaceful activism of the hippies is destined to fail. However...
• Humans Are Good: ...his exposure to the memories contained within SCP-6997 also allows him to see how humanity, even during the most brutal moments of war and conflict, still express compassion for each others. The plaque that Acosta discovers, created by the Department of Abnormalities, makes a similar argument. According to it, the Department acts as a reminder to the Foundation that even though their duty is vital, they have no right to treat humans solely as a means to an end or believe solely that Humans Are Bastards; SCP-6997, which collects innumerable examples of how human nature is diverse and frequently full of beauty and compassion, stands as evidence of this.
