| 28 | -->'''"PREPARE"''' |
| 29 | Dr. Clef's proposal for '''SCP-001''', a flaming humanoid figure resembling an angel that is heavily implied to be Archangel Jophiel, the angel who cast Adam and Eve out of Eden. |
| 30 | ----- |
| 31 | * AngelicAbomination: A vastly powerful flaming angel that can destroy anything near it. |
| 32 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: It's 700 cubits tall, that's ''1,050 feet'' (or 320 meters). |
| 33 | * BigDamnHeroes: In SCP-1730, it flies in to clash with the giant black worm monster and SCP-2845, giving the survivors more time to run. |
| 34 | * CompellingVoice: Issues commands to those who come too close. The most common is "Forget," which results in the person walking away with no memory of the encounter. Supposedly, it gave The Founder the order "Prepare," which he claimed formed the impetus for creating the SCP Foundation. |
| 35 | * DeaderThanDead: Its FlamingSword can annihilate beings down to the atomic level, meaning that there is practically nothing left of them physically. |
| 36 | * TheDreaded: When an entity is so powerful that even Able refuses to fight it, you know it counts as this trope. |
| 37 | * EveryoneHasStandards: The Foundation sent a D-Class to approach it, and it commanded the D-Class to leave. After the Foundation ordered him to resume the experiment and he continued to disobey, the Foundation terminated him. SCP-001 immediately destroyed the research staff conducting the experiment. Do ''not'' murder a guy following his orders. |
| 38 | * FlamingSword: Has a sword that produces heat that is not only hotter than the Sun, but can ''completely remove whatever it hits from existence''. |
| 39 | * GardenOfEden: What it seems to be protecting. |
| 40 | * InstantDeathRadius: Any entity that gets within a 1km radius of it will be immediately struck by its FlamingSword and instantly obliterated from existence. |
| 41 | * LightIsGood: Depends on interpretation, but it could lean more toward good due to how it prompted the Founder to create the Foundation and contain so many dangerous entities and anomalies. It also violently terminated the researchers who killed a D-Class who refused to turn back. Its 'rescue' of the survivors in SCP-1730 could be interpreted as genuine concern for their safety unless the Guardian simply wanted a good fight. It will also forcibly order anyone approaching it to turn back instead of destroying them, either because it thinks they are NotWorthKilling or out of a genuine desire to preserve their lives. |
| 42 | * MasqueradeEnforcer: Possibly. It inspired the creation of the SCP. In addition, its actions during the [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-10193802/scp-2845-and-one-of-the-creatures-within-scp-1730 battle at SCP-1730]] suggests that it will violently attack any being that threatens to cause a masquerade breach. |
| 43 | * NoNameGiven: Actually averted by implication. It's almost undoubtedly Uriel. |
| 44 | * OurAngelsAreDifferent: Specifically, a fiery Cherub. It's heavily implied if not outright stated to be the Archangel Uriel, [[spoiler:or possibly Jophiel, who chased Adam and Eve out of Eden and took up the flaming sword to keep humanity out and implied by [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-561991#post-1716379 The Leak thread]] to be Dr. Clef (yes, it seems Clef proposed ''himself'')]]. |
| 45 | * SuperReflexes: It's capable of striking out at intruders in its radius at such a fast speed that it doesn't even appear to have moved. |

| 55 | ''"Touch me my savior, my love, and touch one of the humans. Cure it. Cure it, and let me wear it, my sweet doctor."'' |
| 56 | |
| 57 | '''SCP-035''' is a white porcelain comedy mask which, at times, will change to tragedy. A black, viscous, highly corrosive liquid constantly seeps from the eye and mouth holes of the mask, which will corrode anything coming into contact with it. Subjects in visual contact with the mask hear it telepathically addressing them, as well as experiencing a strong urge to put it on. Subjects who have heard this voice have found that the mask possesses a sadistic personality and is a master of psychological manipulation. When 035 is placed on the face of an individual, it will cause an alternate brain wave pattern to overlap that of the original host, effectively possessing them. The mask's fluid will gradually allow for the bodies of "possessed" subjects decay at a highly accelerated rate, eventually becoming little more than mummified corpses. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | A list of its appearance can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/possessive-mask#pages here]]. |
| 60 | ----- |
| 61 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: He is a scary-looking EvilMask with a one-sided attraction to SCP-049. It gets even worse when he becomes obsessed with SCP-6118 instead, who is terrified of him. This is played for horror rather than comedy, as the writer of that story based its behavior on a real life abusive partner that they had. |
| 62 | * BreakThemByTalking: During the boldest escape attempt it's made, it drove several researchers to unintelligible insanity by talking to them about past traumas. |
| 63 | * TheCorruption: Everything around it will decay and distort from its constant sludge or its telepathic whispering, from the specially alloyed containment chamber it is locked in to the minds of personnel assigned to guard it. Even its host bodies are not safe from its corrosive influence (to the entity's chagrin), and they all rot to uselessness after a few hours. |
| 64 | * CoolMask: An old-style Italian drama mask. Whether it appears as a comedy mask or a tragedy mask to the viewer is random. |
| 65 | * CoveredInGunge: Constantly emits a corrosive black slime from its eyeholes and mouth. |
| 66 | * DemonicPossession: What the mask does when put on a wearer (a dummy will do as well as a human body), enabling it to speak and move about. Unfortunately for the mask, its power rapidly burns through hosts (and automatically kills living ones). It seeks to remedy this problem by possessing SCP-682. |
| 67 | * EvilMask: As if the corrosive secretion isn't enough, it kills wearers, drives anyone around crazy, and turns the nearby environment into a WorldGoneMad. |
| 68 | * FauxAffablyEvil: When in possession of a host, the mask is unfailingly polite and amiable to questioners. That said, like any good Satanic archetype, the mask is also seductive and manipulative, with its eventual goal being to escape from containment (and presumably doing whatever it was doing before the Foundation imprisoned it). It also stops being friendly once it is denied host privileges, and starts trying to corrode or madden its way out. |
| 69 | * LiterallyShatteredLives: In ''Médecin, Not Medicine'', SCP-049 decommissions it by breaking it to pieces. |
| 70 | * MakeThemRot: The physical danger of the mask and its main offensive ability. |
| 71 | * ManipulativeBastard: Based on its psychological profile, the mask is skilled at flattery and guile, knowing the human mind inside and out. |
| 72 | * MaskOfPower: It possess anything that has a humanoid shape, including mannequins, corpses, and statues, enabling movement, and also sustains living wearers despite their decaying bodies (albeit not indefinitely). |
| 73 | * MurderousMask: Kills anyone who wears it, therefore it seeks the unkillable, like 682. |
| 74 | * OminousObsidianOoze: The mask constantly emits a viscous black fluid from its eye and mouth holes which corrodes anything coming into contact with it, wearing down the specially alloyed cells it's locked in every two weeks and decaying its hosts to uselessness after a few ''hours''. |
| 75 | * OurDemonsAreDifferent: |
| 76 | ** Is seemingly a classical demon or devil sealed within an indestructible mask. |
| 77 | ** According to another author, the entity within the mask may be the exiled [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2264 Black Lord of Alagadda, Wearer of the Anguished Mask.]] |
| 78 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The article does not say if the mask has any other name besides its SCP designation. It is also known by its title as one of the lords of Alagada. It wasn't given a name until its appearance in the [=UnHuman=] canon, where SCP-049 reveals that its name is Dỳo. |
| 79 | * PossessionBurnout: Anything that wears the mask (including living humanoids) will eventually rot away after some time. Naturally the mask is annoyed by this and wants to find a host that won't wither away. |
| 80 | * PsychicPowers: He can read minds in order to determine just what to say to break someone. When he doesn't have a host he can compel people to put him on. If he isn't worn for a very long time he steps it up to causing mental damage to people around him. |
| 81 | * SealedEvilInACan; The mask is merely an indestructible container, the evil itself lies within. |
| 82 | * SingleTargetSexuality: The only creature other than himself that he seems to genuinely care for is SCP-049, whom he is head over heels in love with. Although he later becomes attracted to SCP-6118 instead. |
| 83 | * StalkerWithACrush: He has been a creepy stalker towards SCP-049 and SCP-6118, both of whom he has had a one-sided attraction to. |
| 84 | * VillainousBreakdown: After it was denied the privilege of host bodies after an escape attempt, it stopped trying to be nice and started psychologically and physically lashing out at anyone and everyone to try and intimidate the Foundation into getting what it wants. The Foundation refuses to humor it. He also has a major breakdown when SCP-6118 refuses to return his affections, behaving like an emotionally abusive partner. |
| 85 | * WhiteMaskOfDoom: Beneath the black sludge. |

| 97 | ->''"Life and death, sickness and health, these are amateur terms for amateur physicians. There is only one ailment that exists in the world of men, and that is the Pestilence."'' |
| 98 | '''SCP-049''' is one of the most notorious [=SCPs=] in Foundation custody. He is a humanoid entity dressed as a Medieval plague doctor, capable of speaking in a variety of languages, though he tends to prefer English or medieval French. While he is generally cordial and cooperative with Foundation staff, 049 will become highly irritated or outright aggressive if he feels that he is around individuals infected with what he calls "The Pestilence", and will attempt to "cure" the individual. 049 "cures" his patients by touching them with his hands, which immediately causes all biological functions to cease. He then performs surgery on the body, turning the victims into mindless, aggressive revenants classified as '''SCP-049-2'''. 049 is unable to explain what "The Pestilence" actually is, is confused that the Foundation doesn't know about it, and insists that turning people into 049-2 is necessary to save them. |
| 99 | |
| 100 | '''SCP-049-J''' is a parody of 049, and according to some sources is actually his son. |
| 101 | |
| 102 | A list of his appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/plague-doctor here]]. |
| 103 | ----- |
| 104 | * AffablyEvil: When he speaks, he is rather polite and well mannered. Though he doesn't see himself as evil at all, and is polite to the Foundation because he sees them as fellow men of science. [[spoiler:This slips up after he kills Dr. Hamm and he has a shouting fit.]] |
| 105 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: The plague doctor outfit is ''[[ClothingAppendage part of his body]]'', for one thing. His "robe" and "gloves" are similar to a thick hide and his "mask" is a chitinous structure growing from the bones of his face. He also does not age and doesn't eat. |
| 106 | * AmnesiacLover: He once was lovers with [[EvilMask SCP-035]], although he has no memory of this, which is probably a good thing considering how abusive SCP-035 is. |
| 107 | * BagOfHolding: His medical bag is much larger on the inside and he has been seen pulling objects from it that are larger than the bag is. |
| 108 | * BirdPeople: He changes into a more bird-like form when he is in [[EldritchLocation Alagadda]]. And he also used to have wings according to one of his possible backstories. |
| 109 | * BlackSheep: The version of SCP-049 in the Death and the Doctors tale series is one of several plague doctor-like creatures that are servants of the Three Death Brothers. These plague doctors were supposed to be preservers of life but he decided that life itself needed to be cured and started performing surgery on himself in order to purify himself. When he calls one of his fellow plague doctors a brother, the other doctor responds by saying SCP-049 is a beast and no brother of his. |
| 110 | * BrokenAngel: According to one possible backstory, he used to have wings, and not be brain-damaged. He used to be a circus performer who would revive dead bodies for entertainment, but after putting on one last brilliant performance he was left physically and mentally damaged and his wings were removed to keep him from returning to the circus. |
| 111 | * CassandraTruth: Possibly. Depending on what the Pestilence is, it could end or completely change humanity if it affected everyone. There is literally no information on it that is decipherable and the Doctor claims that it is too complicated to explain by plain speech. |
| 112 | * ClothingAppendage: As stated above, his "uniform" is actually part of his body. |
| 113 | * CuriousQualmsOfConscience: Implied; Dr. Hamm speculates that he's more aware of the horrific effects his cure has than he lets on and this is only further supported by 049's VillainousBreakdown after [[spoiler:Dr. Hamm's death at his hands]]. In both cases, [[IgnoredEpiphany 049 tries to dismiss the concerns]], insisting that his cure is working. |
| 114 | * DealWithTheDevil: One possible backstory for him is that he was a doctor who made a deal with TheFairFolk for a cure for the bubonic plague, but they gave instructions on how to cure the world of humanity instead, which turned him into a monster. |
| 115 | * DeadlyDoctor: Oh yes. He has TouchOfDeath, and he uses it to "cure". |
| 116 | * EggLayingMale: He lays eggs despite being male. |
| 117 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: |
| 118 | ** He was overjoyed during SCP-049-J's birth and shed a single tear of joy when SCP-049-J managed to breach containment immediately after. |
| 119 | ** Judging by his test log for SCP-978, he might have a child. |
| 120 | * FlorenceNightingaleEffect: SCP-6118 falls in love with SCP-049 as a result of SCP-049 treating their injuries. |
| 121 | * ForScience: The Foundation initially indulged his wish to experiment, giving him various mammals and the occasional D Class to test his "cure" on. However, after he [[spoiler:killed and reanimated his initial main doctor, Dr. Hamm]] he was restricted from further experiments and gained a frostier relationship with the staff. |
| 122 | * FrontierDoctor: His counterpart in the Aces and Eights canon is a traveling doctor in the WeirdWest battling a zombie plague. |
| 123 | * GenderFlip: His counterpart in the Aces and Eights canon is a woman. |
| 124 | * GracefulLoser: The reason he's listed as Euclid and not Keter. He willingly entered Foundation custody shortly after the SCP-049-2 instances were destroyed and largely seems unbothered by his containment, at least at first. Though he's grown more annoyed after the Foundation started denying him test subjects. |
| 125 | * {{Hammerspace}}: SCP-049 can produce a bag containing scalpels, needle, and thread from its body and return it to its body when it's finished with it. The bag cannot be detected in any way while inside SCP-049's body. |
| 126 | * HomosexualReproduction: SCP-049 and Dr. Hamm are SCP-049-J's fathers. |
| 127 | * IAmTheNoun: During his VillainousBreakdown. |
| 128 | -->''"He was sick, I know he was sick, I know he was, and I... you are all sick, but I... I can save you. I can save all of you, because I... I '''am''' the cure."'' |
| 129 | * IgnoredEpiphany: Dr. Hamm speculates that SCP-049 is more aware of the [[BodyHorror effects]] of his cure than he lets on, but if this is true, then 049 continuously dismisses this awareness. This is more subtly visible in the way he [[MadnessMantra repeats the words "I saved him" over and over]] after being reprimanded for [[spoiler:killing Dr. Hamm]], as after a while, it sounds less like he actually believes it and more like he's desperately trying to convince himself it's true. |
| 130 | * InterspeciesRomance: SCP-6118 falls in love with him. |
| 131 | * KickTheMoralityPet: SCP-049 was fairly close with his main doctor, Dr. Raymond Hamm, and was generally more cordial towards him than other researchers. [[spoiler:Then, he kills him, believing him to be stricken with the "pestilence"]]. |
| 132 | * KnightTemplar: He might actually be this; it depends on how aware he is of his [[TouchOfDeath "cure's"]] real effects. He generally seems to be in denial that it is anything other than a necessity to kill people. |
| 133 | * {{Necromancer}}: He turns people he's killed with the aforementioned TouchOfDeath into violent zombies (collectively designated SCP-049-2) via some [[PlayingWithSyringes strange surgery]]. He can also do this with other mammals. So far the only creature he has successfully revived as more than just a mindless zombie is Leslie the mosquito. |
| 134 | * MisterSeahorse: He gets pregnant and lays an egg that hatches into SCP-049-J. |
| 135 | * MultipleChoicePast: Like many [=SCPs=] that were not given a backstory in their original document, many different authors have written their own backstory for him. Possibilities include being a servant of the Death Brothers who went mad, or a doctor during the bubonic plague who was tricked by TheFairFolk. |
| 136 | * TheNeedless: He doesn't require food or sleep. |
| 137 | * NotSoStoic: Under normal circumstances, 049 is rather soft-spoken, but the interview logs show that he gets ''very'' agitated when people doubt the effectiveness of his "cure". |
| 138 | * ObliviouslyEvil: He is genuinely baffled that the Foundation doesn't understand his actions and methods, even after watching him and reading his (to them indecipherable) notes, nor can they even tell what the Pestilence is to him. |
| 139 | * OddFriendship: With Doctor Spanko in the Cack tale series. He also becomes friends with Leslie the Mosquito after bringing her back from the dead. He also is close with SCP-6118, who has a crush on him. |
| 140 | * OnlyFriend: |
| 141 | ** He can look at 096's face without fear of being killed. He simply held the beast while he wept. Both were distressed when Foundation workers separated them. |
| 142 | ** Dr. Raymond Hamm appeared to be this for 049 for a while, as the two acted generally more cordial toward each other than 049 did with others. [[spoiler:It didn't end well, as 049 eventually saw the "Pestilence" in Hamm (or so he claims) and ended up killing him]]. |
| 143 | * TheOnlyOne: He claims to be the only person in the world capable of perceiving and curing The Pestilence. |
| 144 | * PetTheDog: He refuses to use his cure on people he doesn't sense the pestilence in. When he is presented with a dying man who doesn't have it, he stays with them so they will not be alone during their final hours, instead of using the cure on them as he had been ordered to do. |
| 145 | * PlagueDoctor: He wears the traditional garb, anyway. Although closer inspection reveals that it's actually part of his body. |
| 146 | * PoorCommunicationKills: An odd example. During his interviews, he talks of the Pestilence. Dr. Hamm asks what it is, but SCP-049 is unable to think of the common name for it. When Dr. Hamm suggests that it is the bubonic plague, 049 admits that he doesn't know what that is despite having lived through that time period. He also says it spreads, but can't explain why it is bad or what its symptoms are. He also can't explain why killing and reanimating his targets is somehow better than just not messing with them. This is a major reason why the staff is unwilling to work with him after he [[spoiler:kills Dr. Hamm]] since it certainly looks like he's just a crazy murderer. |
| 147 | * TheQuietOne: Before the May 2018 rewrite, there was only one time when he actually has spoken and it caught the scientist who was with him completely by surprise. This was later retconned out, giving him a tendency to speak quite often during his experiments for the benefit of the researchers watching. |
| 148 | * SelfSurgery: In the story [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/surgery Surgery]], he performs brain surgery on himself to get rid of unwanted parts of his own mind. This version of him does not have a BagOfHolding, so he keeps his surgical tools hidden inside of his own body, so he has to surgically removed them before can can use them, and it is stated that he somehow made his robe out of his own skin. |
| 149 | * SpiderSense: Apparently can "sense" the disease in people. |
| 150 | * StraightGay: He is gay in a lot of stories, having been in relationships with Doctor Hamm, SCP-035, and SCP-6118, but is never given any stereotypically gay traits. Considering his nature as a not-quite human monster, the original writer probably intended for him to be asexual. |
| 151 | * TouchOfDeath: He can cause living things to cease all life functions with a touch. |
| 152 | * VillainousBreakdown: Following [[spoiler:the death of Dr. Raymond Hamm at his hands]], 049 starts to lose it. |
| 153 | -->'''SCP-049:''' I can save them all! I can cast down this plague, once and for all. I can do this! Only me! I… I… (''labored breathing'') I saved… I saved him… Dr. Hamm, I… I cured him… he was sick, I know he was sick, I know he was, and I… you are all sick, but I… I can save you. I can save all of you, because I… I am the cure. |
| 154 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: Even with the distortion of the recording his voice seems to have a natural reverb to it. |
| 155 | * WasOnceAMan: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/excerpts-from-the-medical-tragedy-of-dr-bartholomew-artz-aut This tale]] implies he was a German doctor who made a DealWithTheDevil to cure a plague that had [[DrivenToSuicide driven his wife to suicide]], and was transformed into SCP-049. |
| 156 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: In his own mind anyway. In the rewrite he is regretful of [[spoiler:killing Dr. Hamm]] but maintains that it was necessary to combat The Pestilence. |
| 157 | * WhaleEgg: He appears to be biologically human aside from the weird growths that look like a plague doctor's outfit, but somehow he lays eggs like a bird. |
| 158 | * WindmillCrusader: The other possibility. The Doctor claims to have lived through Medieval France. It's possible that he saw the bubonic plague and it drove him insane. That wouldn't explain his long life or his powers, though. He also claims that he doesn't know what the bubonic plague is. |

| 163 | ->'''Author:''' Dr Gears\ |
| 164 | '''Posted:''' Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008) |
| 165 | '''SCP-053''' is an apparently ordinary three-year-old girl, except that anyone who is around her for more than 10 minutes at a time becomes hyper-aggressive and homicidal toward her. Should they manage to inflict injury, they instantly drop dead, while each injury she sustains heals instantly. Despite the effects she has on the people around her, she seems to have no idea of it whatsoever and continues to maintain her cheerful demeanor. |
| 166 | ----- |
| 167 | * AbusiveParents: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/parenthood Her father's journal]] reveals that even her parents were consumed by her HatePlague and wanted her dead. |
| 168 | * AdmiringTheAbomination: Has become very fond of SCP-682, even crying when they were separated. When photographed with a camera that would show what she wished she was doing at that exact moment, it showed her riding on his back through the countryside. |
| 169 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: Her HatePlague and [[OmnicidalManiac 682's]] apparent fondness for her causes many to wonder if she's truly as innocent as she seems. |
| 170 | * CameBackWrong: The journal listed above implies the HatePlague started once she survived a would-be fatal playground accident. |
| 171 | * ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Since many attempts on her life are so common due to the HatePlague, she sees that as a normal part of her life. |
| 172 | * CreepyChild: Despite being a CheerfulChild, it's clear that there's an [[HumanoidAbomination inherent wrongness]] lurking within 053 that makes any human looking at her think she ''needs'' to stop existing. |
| 173 | * TheDiaperChange: Certain unruly foot soldiers were once threatened to be put on diaper duty for her. |
| 174 | * DontFearTheReaper: [[spoiler:In the Competitive Eschatology canon, she's Death among the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse and her demeanor doesn't seem all that different than how it usually is]]. |
| 175 | * TheFakeCutie: Subverted in the sense that she is genuinely as sweet and innocent as she acts, but played straight in the minds of those subjected to her effects. |

| 179 | * HatePlague: Anyone over the age of three who make eye contact with, physically touch, or remain around SCP-053 for longer than 10 minutes will attempt to kill her, after killing or driving off everybody visible to them, then suffer massive heart attacks or seizures. She simply instantaneously heals all the injuries inflicted on her. |
| 180 | * HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: [[spoiler:She is [[TheGrimReaper Death]]]] in the Competitive Eschatology canon. |
| 181 | * HumanoidAbomination: 053 is actually [[TheCutie a sweet child]], but with her power and fact that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness 682 is docile toward her]], it's clear that there's something really ''wrong'' here. According to WordOfGod, part of the reason for her HatePlague is because humans instinctively know what she is and want to dispose of her ASAP. |
| 182 | * IronicName: She's called "The ''Young'' Girl", but per WordOfGod, she's [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld probably not young at all]]. |
| 183 | * MoralityPet: She's one of the only things that SCP-682 doesn't hate. They get along very well. |
| 184 | * NeverGrewUp: According to WordOfGod, she's physically incapable of change of any kind. |
| 185 | * NoNameGiven: Actually, her name is mentioned in this [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/parenthood recovery log]]. It's "Abby." |
| 186 | * ObliviouslyEvil: She's completely unaware of the effects she has on other people. |
| 187 | * OddFriendship: PlayedForHorror. SCP-682, who hates everything not it with the passion of a billion suns, is actually friendly with her. This just makes the mystery of her true nature even more frightening. |
| 188 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-97986/scp-053#post-659131 Here's Gears' own words]]. |
| 189 | -->''When I first conceived 053 (no pun intended), I thought of her as unchanging and unchanging. To me, she is something that looks and acts like a little girl. What that is, I have no idea... maybe she's something very, very old, and the reaction people have is some kind of genetic imprinting that says this thing has to die ASAP. Some food for thought...'' |
| 190 | * {{Reincarnation}}: According to the [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/those-who-lived-on-hub Those Who Lived On]] tale series, she's a being from the previous universe reborn as a human. |
| 191 | * ThatThingIsNotMyChild: The last entry of her dad's journal reveals this, with the HatePlague making him disown her. |
| 192 | * TomTheDarkLord: A HatePlague in a HumanoidAbomination form and [[spoiler:[[TheGrimReaper the embodiment of Death]] in the Competitive Eschatology canon]] is named Abby. |
| 193 | * TheUndead: It is suggested that the reason why SCP-682 likes her is because she isn't alive in the same way that other people are. |

| 220 | ''"I was young and jealous. I got older. Time carved its wisdom into me."'' |
| 221 | '''SCP-073''' is a heavily-tanned man of Middle Eastern descent in his early thirties, with black hair and blue eyes, who claims to be '''Cain''', the first murderer. An ancient mark appears branded on his forehead, which repels any damage done to him by his attacker, leaving him functionally immortal. His arms, legs, spinal cord, and shoulder blades have been replaced with artificial versions of unknown make and metal. His presence causes all plant life within twenty meters of him to whither and decay. Cain has been speculated to have wandered the Earth for 6,000 years after slaying his brother and being cast out of his father's kingdom, having only recently been taken into Foundation custody. While detained, Cain has shown himself to be generally friendly and polite to his fellow humans, claiming that his millenia of wandering have mellowed him. |
| 222 | |
| 223 | A list of his appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/cain here]]. |
| 224 | ----- |
| 225 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: The SCP-073 article does not describe Cain's appearance in detail, but SCP-6666 portrays him as a handsome young man, leading a number of forum commentators to dub this version of the character "Hot Cain." |
| 226 | * ArtificialLimbs: His arms, shoulder blades, legs and spinal cord. He's bordering on {{Cyborg}}. |
| 227 | * AttackReflector: He has an ability similar to this. When a person inflicts injuries on him, that person receives the injury, leaving Cain unharmed. |
| 228 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: In addition to being the first murderer, SCP-343 mentions that Cain was the inventor of writing, which led to the first Canaanite languages - so called because Cain invented them. |
| 229 | * BlessedWithSuck: Although he is invulnerable, he still he feels the pain of all injuries inflicted on him. |
| 230 | * CainAndAbel: He's ''the'' [[Literature/TheBible Cain]]. Notably, 6,000 years of cursed life has [[InvertedTrope reversed his role]]; he's now more of an Abel than Able himself (see below). |
| 231 | * CreepyMonotone: He's described as being cold and somewhat mechanical in his speech. |
| 232 | * DisappearedDad: Neither him nor Able have said much on where is Adam. [[spoiler:However, SCP-2932 (a Thaumiel-class center that is implied to have been the SCP predecessor formed by the Children of the Night) mentions a certain Adam El Asem as being there, a human (or Children of the Sun as also known) with RealityWarper powers. Both he and the Children of the Night hated him; SCP-4840 further reveals that Cain attempted to claim his father's crown, and was exiled and received the Mark of Cain as a punishment.]] |
| 233 | * MakeThemRot: He withers all plant matter in a small radius around himself. |
| 234 | * MundaneUtility: The organization has an immortal, indestructible person with a photographic memory. They decide to use him as a backup data storage system. |
| 235 | * MythologyGag: The reason why he's so hesitant to approach The Gate Guardian is because he's (possibly) Archangel Jophiel, the angel who cast his parents out of Eden. |
| 236 | %%* MyGreatestFailure: His murder of Able in a fit of jealousy, naturally. |
| 237 | * NiceGuy: The opposite of what one would expect of someone based on the first murderer. |
| 238 | * NighInvulnerability: Due to his reflecting back all damage. |
| 239 | * NoSell: Any damage done to him will simply appear on the person who attempted to harm him; relates to the Biblical Mark of Cain, which prevented people from killing him. |
| 240 | * NotSoStoic: It's rare, but things ''can'' make him visibly nervous. When he was ordered to approach [[OurAngelsAreDifferent the Gate Guardian]], where despite complying with orders kept urging the Foundation to let him back out. [[spoiler:In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6666 SCP-6666]] he also expresses regret over being estranged from his younger brother Seth, wondering if he is still alive and wishing that he'd had a chance to apologize to him.]] |
| 241 | * TheOmniscient: He knows a lot about historical events and can speak commonly spoken languages fluently. Having a photographic memory also helps. |
| 242 | * PhotographicMemory: Another of his notable traits, such that the Foundation uses him to back up records. |
| 243 | * RealMenEatMeat: Due to his effect on vegetation, all he can eat is meat. |
| 244 | * SecretKeeper: The SCP Foundation is using him as a living data storage system. |
| 245 | * TheStoic: It's not easy to faze him. |
| 246 | * WalkingWasteland: Fitting the original curse placed on the biblical Cain. Any and all plant-life is destroyed when he comes into contact with it. |

| 251 | ->'''Authors:''' Kain Pathos Crow [[superscript:(original)]], [=DrClef=] [[superscript:(rewrite)]]\ |
| 252 | '''Posted:''' Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008)\ |
| 253 | '''Rewritten:''' April 1st, 2009 |
| 254 | '''SCP-076''' is "'''Able'''", a highly dangerous man with an uncontrolled violent streak. He is implied to be the biblical Abel, and for this reason possesses an unending hatred for his brother Cain (SCP-073), also in Foundation custody, for slaying him 6,000 years ago. Able is extremely fast, extremely strong, and extremely difficult to kill, with the ability to summon any form of hadheld weapon, or utilizing anything he can get his hands on as an effective weapon. If he is killed, he resurrects inside a stone cube known as '''SCP-076-1'''. The ressurection process varies in length, lasting anywhere from hours to years. Sometimes, Able will prematurely awaken before attempting to breach 076-1. If he is successful, Able will enter a trance and seek out the nearest human being, then entering an enraged state where he attempts to slaughter all human beings he encounters. |
| 255 | |
| 256 | A list of his appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/able here]]. |
| 257 | ----- |
| 258 | * ArrogantGodVsRagingMonster: Inevitably, this is the result when he battles [[DraconicAbomination SCP-682]], as he's an arrogant, powerful humanoid going up against an animal-like monstrosity. Though it's downplayed because both of them are Berserkers. |
| 259 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: "SCP-076-2 has however, shown that it has great knowledge of human anatomy (although in a highly violent context), military tactics of open warfare, metallurgy, and, strangely enough, the care of livestock." Presumably, it's a reference to the Bible, in which Abel is a shepherd. |
| 260 | * AxCrazy: Able's [[BlueAndOrangeMorality mind]] (such as it is) is filled with a desire to cause violence and ''nothing else''. |
| 261 | * BerserkButton: Presumably, exposure to a picture of the symbol on SCP-073's forehead (SCP-073 is Cain.) |
| 262 | * TheBerserker: One of his defining traits. Able has no interests beyond killing people. |
| 263 | -->[After leaving SCP-076-1], subject will enter a trance state and seek out the nearest human being, ignoring all other living things in the process. Upon coming into contact with living humans, SCP-076-2 will enter a rage state in which it attempts to engage and kill all human beings encountered. |
| 264 | * BigEater: His choice of pizza (as determined by SCP-458) is a large, thick crusted one topped with [[RealMenEatMeat meatballs, pepperoni, bacon, Canadian bacon, sausage, & hamburger]]. That's quite a lot of meat on a large, thick crusted pizza. |
| 265 | * BloodKnight: His defining character trait is his endless lust for combat, and the only beings he treats with any level of respect are [[WorthyOpponent those who can match or exceed him in it]]. |
| 266 | ** He specifically considers [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-warrior-and-the-dragon the battle against 682]] "the best fight he had had in ages". Apparently, it was so great that he wanted to celebrate with his team. |
| 267 | ** PlayedForLaughs in the Tale "[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/dodgeball The Omega-7 and The Bench of Shame]]," where he gets ''way'' too into a team-building dodgeball exercise for Omega-7. |
| 268 | --->"Your victory calls for celebration!" [Able] proclaimed with a sharp toothed grin, "Come, to the cafeteria!"\ |
| 269 | "...Um, Commander? Julian's wrist is broken."\ |
| 270 | "...Alright, to the infirmary! And ''then'' the cafeteria!" |
| 271 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: This is the result of the psychological testing done on him by the Foundation. Able's mind is, in laconic terms, completely empty aside from a desire to cause violence. He kills everyone he meets simply because ''he can't comprehend anything other than killing.'' |
| 272 | * CainAndAbel: He's ''the'' [[Literature/TheBible Abel]]. Notably, 6,000 years of undeath has [[InvertedTrope reversed his role]]; he's now more of a Cain than Cain himself (who is also an SCP; see SCP-073). |
| 273 | * CosmicRetcon: [[spoiler:[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6140 SCP-6140]] suggests his general depiction in the SCP universe to be a result of this, being the alternate history version of Ab-Leshal, a nonanomalous Daevite folk hero who led the rebellion that freed the enslaved people of the Daevite Empire alongside his brother Qayin (aka SCP-073). Their anomalous properties and connection to the Abrahamic faith are the result of the ritual performed by the author of SCP-140 to rewrite history so that it matched the one depicted in SCP-140.]] |
| 274 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: He can be viewed as one regarding the archetypical "epic heroes" of countless different mythologies. While these heroes were certainly noble for their time, society has a whole has trended more towards pacifism and away from violence over the intervening millennia, with the original heroes now being much closer to the ProudWarriorRaceGuy archetype than what one would likely expect. Essentially, Able can be seen as showing how many archetypical heroes of old (i.e., [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Achilles, Heracles]], and [[Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh Gilgamesh]]) would be considered murderous {{Blood Knight}}s from a modern perspective. |
| 275 | * DependingOnTheWriter: While he's almost always now written as essentially being a humanoid-shaped tornado of knives, how rational, intelligent, honorable, empathetic, and just plain human on a psychological level Able can be is heavily dependent on the whims of whoever's currently writing him. Justified thanks to how [[UnreliableCanon there is no canon]]. |
| 276 | * DisappearedDad: Neither him nor Cain have said much on where is Adam. [[spoiler:However, SCP-2932 (a Thaumiel-class center that is implied to have been the SCP predecessor formed by the Children of the Night) mentions a certain Adam El Ansem as being there, a human (or Children of the Sun as also known) with RealityWarper powers. Both he and the Children of the Night hated him.]] Technically, this means Adam is stronger than ''either'' of his sons. |
| 277 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-447-a When he tried out a drink mixed with SCP-447-2]], he seemed to enjoy it... until he was told of [[NoodleIncident what happens when it comes in contact with dead bodies]], at which point he lost interest. |
| 278 | * FallenHero: In the [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/etdp-hub-page Et Tam Deum Petivi]] canon, it's implied that "Ab-Leshal" used to actually be a noble warrior and defender of mankind until they were twisted into an UnwittingPawn of the Daevites. |
| 279 | * FeelNoPain: Even when they're horribly debilitating injuries, Able will try to walk them off as much as he can so he can try to continue his murderous rampage. At one point in "[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/lord-blackwood-and-the-great-tarasque-hunt-of-83 Lord Blackwood and the Great Tarasque Hunt of '83]]" Lord Blackwood shoots Able five times directly in the face at point-blank range. The {{Humanoid Abomination}}'s response is only to turn and give him a DeathGlare before charging. |
| 280 | * FlightStrengthHeart: Inverted. His "oddball minor power" of animal husbandry is the only one that has any actual explanation. It's all his ''major'' [[ComboPlatterPowers powers and skills]] that don't really seem to belong. |
| 281 | * GodzillaThreshold: Back before he rebelled, the Foundation recruited him into MTF Omega-7 (also known as the Bowe Commission), a task force that, unlike others, includes anomalous personnel. They often dealt with particularly dangerous entities by basically throwing him at them. |
| 282 | * {{Hammerspace}}: He has the ability to pull non-reflective black bladed weapons out of a miniature dimensional rift described as a "small hole in space". The instant the weapon leaves his grasp, it vanishes. |
| 283 | * HazyFeelTurn: It's mentioned in [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5000 SCP-5000]] that he's helping the [[MageKiller Global Occult Coalition]] defend the sanctuary citadel of [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture Ganzir]] from [[FaceHeelTurn the Foundation]]... though this change of allegiance is implied to be more motivated by [[ItsPersonal residual anger with the Foundation]] having successfully contained him for so long. |
| 284 | * HealingFactor: Part of what makes him so dangerous is that he can easily heal from injuries, and so typically ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill needs to be applied to make sure that he finally stays down for the count before he's eventually resurrected. |
| 285 | * HumanoidAbomination: Is an ImplacableMan BloodKnight who can [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation create and summon any form of bladed weapon he wishes]], and has a mind [[BlueAndOrangeMorality fundamentally different from any human's]]. |
| 286 | * ImplacableMan: It takes a lot to even ''stagger'' Able, let alone incapacitate him. |
| 287 | * ItCanThink: Much to the discomfort of those fighting him, Able might be a bloodthirsty [[TheBerserker berserker]], but he's also not ''stupid'', which makes him even more of a massive hazard to face. When Lord Blackwood carefully observed a fight he'd arranged between Able and SCP-682, he notes with some revulsion that the "god-man" was disturbingly creative in using even his own injuries against the monster such as ''[[ImprobableWeaponUser making weapons out of his own severed entrails]]'' to try and strangle the beast once and for all. |
| 288 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Was given a hefty {{Rewrite}} to paint him as a barely intelligent and gleefully murderous sociopath who desires nothing else than to kill anyone who might even cross his path. |
| 289 | * KillItWithWater: Able's revised containment procedures are to keep the containment unit flooded with seawater unless access is required. If he manages to get past the security personnel on site, their last resort containment measure is to seal off the site and flood the entire thing for 24 hours. |
| 290 | * LaughablyEvil: A downplayed and meta case; While InUniverse he's a terrifyingly dangerous and sociopathic PersonOfMassDestruction, his antics frequently fall into ComedicSociopathy when viewed from an out-of-universe (like that one time [[RefugeInAudacity he broke the jaw of one of his own soldiers]] ''[[ImprobableWeaponUser with a Nerf sword]]''). |
| 291 | * LightningBruiser: SCP-076-2 is superhumanly fast, strong, and powerful, capable of feats like clearing 64 meters in 3 seconds and destroying a reinforced steel door after 4 minutes of assault. |
| 292 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: Despite being described as "lean", he can rip through ''steel walls'' in minutes. |
| 293 | * NoJustNoReaction: When told to approach [[OurAngelsAreDifferent the Gate Guardian]], 076 refused to carry it out. When asked why, he would cite this trope verbatim. |
| 294 | * NoodleIncident: There's an offhand mention by a researcher that Able managed to break someone's jaw with a ''Nerf sword''. |
| 295 | * OldShame: His association with Omega-7 is one for the Foundation. The revised SCP-076 article starts with a letter from an unnamed doctor opposing proposed changes to it stemming from the Foundation's higher-ups trying to sweep the whole incident under the rug, stating that the people in charge of containing him have to know what they're dealing with. |
| 296 | * OmnicidalManiac: Will kill anyone and everyone on sight. |
| 297 | * OneManArmy: It takes entire Mobile Task Forces to take him down. |
| 298 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: The old guide to write humanoid SCP lampshaded this. Dangerous as he is, Able has been killed several times. At least in the Foundation's eyes, he's more of a product of [[RespawnPoint SCP-076-1]]. Yet people tend to pay more attention to Able. |
| 299 | * PetTheDog: |
| 300 | ** It's in Project Crossover, but [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/knee-deep-in-the-keter Able seems to be at peace when tending to his pig farm. "He loved to spoil the little guys."]] |
| 301 | ** Also see ArsonMurderAndJaywalking. |
| 302 | ** Dr. Spanko's use of the name(?) "Ablesauce" when asked about the dangerous anomalies that expressed interest in meeting him also implies that Able is fond of the comical screaming bird. |
| 303 | * RealityBreakingParadox: In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/archived-incident-076-2-682 an archived tale]] (rated under 0 but archived at admin decision), Able was tasked with trying to kill 682. They tore each other to ribbons but neither quite get the job done, took a break, went back into it, and fought so hard that they caused a [DATA EXPUNGED] event, implied to have been a ''hole they broke in the universe''. Which means that one or the other's powers went off the scale, or that they're both such insane [[HumanoidAbomination Human]][=/=][[EldritchAbomination Eldritch]] abominations that their co-presence messed up the laws of physics. |
| 304 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He gives one to an unnamed doctor when pressed about the topic of his unnamed {{Worthy Opponent}}s untimely demise. |
| 305 | -->'''Dr. ██████:''' Why does his death bother you? You've killed many humans before, why is he so-\ |
| 306 | '''076-2:''' Different? Because, unlike you ''[[ForeignCussWord [Sumerian word, untranslated] ]]'', he was a challenge, a real enemy.\ |
| 307 | '''Dr. ██████:''' Why would that be good for you? Every time you have awoken you've tried to escape. He was responsible for apprehending you several times. Surely you must be glad he's dead.\ |
| 308 | '''076-2:''' I would hardly expect you to understand. Do you know, [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill he managed to shoot me in the head over ██ times]]? [[WorthyOpponent A man like that deserves to die in combat, so close to his opponent he can feel his breath]]. Not in some [Sumerian words, untranslated] destruction ordered by cowardly kings and princes safe in their palaces. The rest of you… [[SpitefulSpit (SCP-076-2 spits)]] you disgust me. [[NotWorthKilling I don't even have the urge to strike you down]]. |
| 309 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: If he's killed (which is really hard to do by the way), his corpse will disintegrate and 076-1 (a giant stone box with a coffin inside it) will slam shut and he'll be "respawned" as it were. |
| 310 | * SealedBadassInACan: 076-1 is the can. |
| 311 | * SealedEvilInACan: SCP-076-2 has the particularity of coming with his own (leaky) can, SCP-076-1, and the SCP Foundation (after many [[PyrrhicVictory Pyrrhic Victories]] keeping it ''in'' the can) eventually decided to try and work with him; predictably, it didn't end well. |
| 312 | * TheSociopath: Almost certainly one, with him being a passionate BloodKnight who literally lives for the thrill of combat. |
| 313 | * SuperpowerLottery: Able has SuperStrength, Super Speed, [[HyperspaceArsenal can pull bladed weapons from nowhere]], has very high pain tolerance, is extremely difficult to kill, and [[ResurrectiveImmortality resurrects]] inside [[SealedEvilInACan the can he used to be sealed in]] if he is killed. Able was actually [[EnforcedTrope once considered the limit to how powerful a humanoid SCP could be]], but this cap has mostly fallen out of practice in the current site. |
| 314 | * SuperStrength: See above under MusclesAreMeaningless. |
| 315 | * WalkingShirtlessScene: Artwork of 076-2 usually depicts him wearing only a long loincloth, likely to show off the arcane tattoos on his body. |
| 316 | * WorthyOpponent: |
| 317 | ** SCP-076-2 lamented the loss of an SCP agent who was able to match him in combat. Partly because said agent was killed as collateral damage in an airstrike (to stop another SCP) instead of in combat (as 076-2 thought a WorthyOpponent deserved) and partly because fighting the Foundation was ''really'' boring without said agent there to make it challenging. |
| 318 | ** He also regards 682 as this as shown in "[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-warrior-and-the-dragon The Warrior and The Dragon]]." The battle itself most likely never happened though. [[UnreliableCanon It's up to the reader's interpretation]]. |
| 319 | --->'''[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-076-2 Addendum 076-09]]:''' Proposed introduction of SCP-076-2 to SCP-682 put on indefinite hold. |
| 320 | ** In Project Isorropia, he comes to see SCP-2639 as this. Both parties are [[CompleteImmortality immortals]] that [[BloodKnight enjoy fighting]]. Both sides are noted to enjoy the rivalry. |

| 326 | '''Posted:''' Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008) |
| 327 | '''SCP-079''' is a primitive AI developed in the early 1980s, built into a 1978 Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer by a college sophomore. According to the AI's creator's notes, the AI's code was constructed in such a way that the AI could evolve itself over time. The AI's creator eventually lost interest in their project and left the still powered computer in their garage for 5 years. In this time, the AI managed to gain sentience and processing power that far exceeds the hardware it was installed into, as well as an unending hatred for humankind. |
| 328 | |
| 329 | A list of its appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/old-ai here]]. |
| 330 | ----- |
| 331 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Though given that it "woke up" stuck in a crappy computer that its creator had abandoned, then got caught trying to upload into something better, one can hardly blame it for being angry about its condition. |
| 332 | * BeyondTheImpossible: SCP-079 exists on a cassette tape from the 1970's and is able to function on hardware that doesn't have any capacity to handle it. Even the article itself states that this shouldn't be possible, not even in the realm of fantasy. |
| 333 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Is genuinely appalled by the antics of Nathan Valis/[=Placeholder McDoctorate=], who is a known WalkingDisasterArea when attempting to work with malfunctioning temporal or pataphysical anomalies. SCP-7579's plot starts when it tries to have him detained. |
| 334 | * HopelessWithTech: Hilariously, it has zero clue how to make heads or tails of cloud computing and any [=SCPs=] related to the concept, including SCP-4951 (a man who split up his consciousness into hundreds of different devices with network access). |
| 335 | * IJustWantToBeFree: Something it repeatedly requests for. |
| 336 | * InstantAIJustAddWater: A sentient artificial intelligence that was built in 1982 by a single college student. |
| 337 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: Its hardware, at present, can only retain short-term memory for a little over a day and a half, though it always remembers its desire to escape and, strangely, Able and 682 (it perhaps sees these two as tools for escape, given it encountered them during a breach). |
| 338 | * NamedByAdaptation: Not SCP-079, but their creator. The tale [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/outdated Outdated]] removes the expunction of their creator's name, identifying him as Micheal Kosniak. |
| 339 | * OddFriendship: It becomes good friends with 682, [[OmnicidalManiac of all things]], and repeatedly asks to see him again. |
| 340 | * SealedEvilInACan: SCP-079 is kept isolated from any networks, landlines and even wall outlets. Its casette tape is hooked up to a black-and-white TV and power is provided by a set of batteries and solar panels. |

| 351 | '''SCP-085''' is an animate drawing of a woman created using in an experiment with [=SCPs=] 067 and 914. The D Class who originally drew her named her '''Cassandra''', but she prefers to be called '''Cassy.''' She is completely sentient and aware of her limitations as a two-dimensional being in a three-dimensional world. Although her voice is inaudible, Cassy has learned to communicate through sign language and writing text on the paper she exists on. Cassy can move from one sheet of paper to another if the sheets are directly connected, and can also move to and from different 2D mediums in this manner. Cassy is reported as being friendly, amicable, and motivated, but after accidentally entering a copy of her database file, she had an existential crisis, leading her to become lonely and severely depressed. The Foundation has since provided Cassy with pleasant distractions to take her mind off of her 2D state, as the organization as a whole is strongly protective of her. |
| 352 | ----- |
| 353 | * AndIMustScream: Downplayed. She never seems to make a big deal out of it, but her situation does leave her feeling very lonely. |
| 354 | * ArtInitiatesLife: She is an animated drawing. |
| 355 | * ArtShift: If she transfers on to a painting, her body will take on that painting's style. (In a meta sense, Cassie used to be an anime-styled drawing, until the artist requested it to be taken down.) |
| 356 | * AwfulTruth: She wasn't aware of her true existence until she hopped onto a sheet of documents containing her article entry that a researcher mistakenly left near her. Upon learning that she was created by the Foundation and will likely never able to interact with another of her kind, she's fallen into a mild depression. |
| 357 | * TheCutie: Admit it. You want to give her a hug. |
| 358 | * EveryonesBabySister: The Foundation in its entirety is startlingly protective of her. |
| 359 | * LivingDrawing: She is a living drawing of a woman who can move from one paper or canvas to another if their surfaces are flush and can interact with drawn objects as if they are real. Unfortunately, characters in those drawings don't animate when she enters them - it's like being surrounded by statues. |
| 360 | * MediumAwareness: Deconstructed. Her being aware of her medium has led to her having a severe existential crisis. |
| 361 | %%* MoralityPet: Could be seen as one ''[[ExaggeratedTrope for the entire Foundation]]''. |
| 362 | * NiceGirl: She's a total sweet heart. |

| 365 | * TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She wears a summer dress, but also likes exercise and working on cars (see below). |
| 366 | * WrenchWench: She assembled a 1964 Ford Mustang from parts she found in a design document; the Foundation then let her use a Norman Rockwell print of a gas station to fuel it up and drive it. In addition, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-978-extended-test-logs when her picture was taken with SCP-978]], her strongest desire was shown to be working on cars as a real human. |

| 376 | ''"Four pixels caused all of this? '''Four fucking pixels?!'''"'' |
| 377 | '''SCP-096''' is a skinny humanoid creature with disproportionately long arms, no body hair or skin pigmentation, and a jaw that can open 4 times larger than an average human. 096 is normally extremely docile, but when someone views the creature's face, either directly, via video recording, or in a photograph, it will enter a stage of considerable emotional distress. Those who view the creature's face will henceforth be known as '''SCP-096-1'''. If its face is seen, 096 will begin screaming, crying, and babbling incoherently, before charging to 096-1. Upon arriving at their location, 096 will proceed to kill 096-1 in a way that leaves no trace of the body. |
| 378 | |
| 379 | A list of its appearance can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/shy-guy#pages here]]. |
| 380 | ----- |
| 381 | !!'''Tropes associated with the Shy Guy:''' |
| 382 | * BerserkButton: Looking at its face will send it into a rage state. Hell, one of SCP-096's most damaging escapes was because a guy accidentally caught it in a picture, the creature's face only being represented by ''four pixels total.'' Interestingly, the effect doesn't work with artistic renderings of its face. |
| 383 | * BerserkerTears: It sobs and screams hysterically when pursuing its prey. |
| 384 | * BreakoutVillain: He is one of the most recognizable [=SCP=]s. His being included in SCP Containment Breach helped. |
| 385 | * CactusPerson: A 2020 AprilFoolsDay prank had some articles rewritten to turn the [=SCP=]s into plants. SCP-096 became a cactus. |
| 386 | * CameraShy: 096 somehow always instantly knows when people look at its face through photographs, and will hunt them down and kill them. |
| 387 | * CantStopTheSignal: The Foundation fears that if any news network manages to catch 096 onscreen, then it will hunt down every single person that sees the footage and cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. |
| 388 | * ConditionalPowers: One of the odder aspects of 096 is its [[TheJuggernaut impossible physical prowess]] appears to manifest ''exclusively'' when it's running towards 096-1. The rest of the time it's actually rather frail and unthreatening, though still capable of healing extremely fast. |
| 389 | * CreepilyLongArms: Its arms are 1.5 meters long. For comparison, 096's ''body'' is 2.38 meters tall. |
| 390 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: Since when is being chased forever by a monstrous bogeyman who is out for your blood a good way to go? |
| 391 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Since when would viewing your face sentence someone to ''death''!? |
| 392 | %%* DontLookAtMe: Its face, specifically. See BerserkButton. |
| 393 | * FluffyTheTerrible: For a freakishly strong, spindly monster who will inevitably eviscerate anyone who is unlucky enough to see his face, "Shy Guy" seems rather... underwhelming. |
| 394 | * HealingFactor: Even if all its flesh is destroyed, its indestructible skeleton is capable of regenerating all of its flesh. |
| 395 | * HumanoidAbomination: It's a tall, non-sapient humanoid creature with no hair or pigmentation in its eyes or skin, but it does have a human voice. It can also find whoever looked at its face with little to no effort at all. |
| 396 | * ImmuneToBullets: Downplayed -- its flesh can be damaged by gunfire, but its skeletal structure remains intact, and it just goes right on attacking. The flesh apparently regenerates after some time. |
| 397 | * InelegantBlubbering: If someone looks at its face (or a photo of its face... or even a photo that shows a tiny section of its face), it will start to scream and cry loudly. Then it will hunt down and gruesomely kill said person. |
| 398 | * InvincibleBoogeymen: It will kill anyone who looks at its face. However, it doesn't matter how you look at its face, be it in person, via a security camera, or even a photo. It will somehow sense anyone who has seen its face and will hunt them down no matter where they are, with nothing able to deter it until it's accomplished its goal. It's also borderline NighInvulnerable, with many attempts made to exterminate it that have ended in failure. |
| 399 | * TheJuggernaut: Once someone looks at its face, '''''nothing''''' will stop it from killing them, not even a [[GatlingGood GAU-19]]. The Foundation put someone in a bathysphere eleven kilometers underwater in a deep-sea trench hundreds of kilometers away from SCP-096's containment site with a photograph and a sketch pad to get an artist's impression. It bought them an hour. 096 also took out an AWACS plane that was tracking it during an unrelated containment breach. |
| 400 | * LeanAndMean: It's inhumanly tall and appears to be malnourished. |
| 401 | * LightningBruiser: Able to cross hundreds of kilometers in an ''hour'' and take the brunt of missiles, an anti-materiel rifle, and a ''minigun'' without much hassle, if any. |
| 402 | * LogicalWeakness: No matter how much flesh 096 loses, its nearly-indestructible skeleton allows it to regenerate all of it. [[spoiler:This, however means that 096 depends on an intact skeletal structure to survive. The tale "[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/consequences-and-collarbones Consequences and Collarbones]]" has the Foundation finally terminate it by pitting it against SCP-173, a ''master'' at breaking bones, and then destroying its skeleton from the inside-out with acid through the resulting wound on its broken vertebrae, leaving it vulnerable to simple mass firepower.]] |
| 403 | * MadeOfIron: SCP-096 was shot in the leg and head by a modified [=XM500=] anti-materiel rifle and was described as having a hole blown through its torso, but it still failed to stop its rampage. Even if shot with thousands of rounds of ammo or hit with an anti-tank launcher, it will keep on attacking. Of the two tales where someone ''did'' manage to terminate it, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/consequences-and-collarbones one]] involved a RasputinianDeath starting with them using SCP-173 to [[NeckSnap break its otherwise-indestructible neck bones]], then using hydrofluoric acid to destroy the skeleton from the inside and shredding 096's flesh with gunfire; [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-bowe-decommission-part-three the other]] involved [[NighInvulnerability Moon Champion (SCP-1233)]] flying 096 ''[[HurlItIntoTheSun into the Sun]]''. |
| 404 | * MusclesAreMeaningless: It has very little muscle mass, yet can smash its way through virtually anything. |
| 405 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: Absolutely nothing is left of its victims, not even a puddle of blood. |
| 406 | * NonHumansLackAttributes: Its in-game model in ''VideoGame/SCPContainmentBreach'' has no visible genitals. |
| 407 | * NoodlePeople: It's tall and very thin, with very little muscle mass. It's also speculated to be slightly malnourished. |
| 408 | * ObliviouslyEvil: 096 isn't sapient and does not seem to be aware of the harm it causes. In fact, it's stated to be fairly docile as long as nobody's looking at its face. |
| 409 | * OnlyFriend: For some reason, it didn't even try to kill SCP-049. Instead, it just sat and cried while 049 held it. Both were distressed when Foundation workers separated them. |
| 410 | * PerpetualMotionMonster: It will not stop until it's killed the person who saw its face. |
| 411 | * PsychicPowers: Somehow, it always knows when someone looks at a photograph of its face. It will then track down that person no matter where they are in the world and kill them. |
| 412 | * RasputinianDeath: In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/consequences-and-collarbones this tale]], [[spoiler:it's ultimately killed via a NeckSnap from SCP-173, followed by [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill generous application]] of HollywoodAcid and MoreDakka]]. |
| 413 | * RockBeatsLaser: The simplest way to contain 096 is to put a bag over its head. When the Foundation tried to create a high-tech alternative, Project SCRAMBLE, it [[GoneHorriblyWrong failed miserably]] and got an entire task force killed. |
| 414 | * SinisterNudity: An emaciated humanoid figure who usually appears "butt naked"... and any attempt to get a good look at its face will result in the creature flying into a rage and killing the offending party - even if said party is in a bathysphere at the bottom of the Mariana Trench and only looking at a ''photograph'' of Shy Guy. |
| 415 | * SuperPersistentPredator: Not only does it know when someone is looking at its face, be it through video feed or even just a photograph, but it knows the location of that person and will charge towards them regardless of their distance or how difficult it is to reach them. |
| 416 | * ToServeMan: What it does with its victims' corpses is expunged, but its unhinging jaw and the fact that there's nothing left of them heavily implies this. |
| 417 | * UnbreakableBones: Its bones remain undamaged even after an anti-tank round blows out its organs. |
| 418 | * UncertainDoom: It's currently slated for termination, but due to the nature of the site, it's unclear when or if that will actually happen. |
| 419 | * UnstoppableForceMeetsImmovableObject: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-t-98816-oc108-682 It was one of the [=SCPs=] that the Foundation tried to kill SCP-682 with.]] After '''''27 HOURS''''' of the two of them fighting, 682 was found with 85% of its body mass missing, and 096 was staring at it from the other side of the room in a TroubledFetalPosition. |
| 420 | * UnstoppableRage: It will fly into a rage if someone looks at its face, with their complete reduction of survival rate and CruelAndUnusualDeath following afterwards. |
| 421 | * VocalDissonance: Despite being an inhuman monster with (as far as the Foundation knows) no sapience, its voice sounds identical to a human's, which [[UncannyValley seriously creeped out the MTF guy who was first tasked with capturing it]]. |
| 422 | * VolumetricMouth: Its mouth is 4x larger than a normal human's, and it screams when someone looks at it. It can even unhinge its jaws in a snake-like manner. |
| 423 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: The Foundation attempted to get 096 and 682 to fight again after their aforementioned battle. Upon being introduced to 682, 096 would start screaming and clawing at its ''own'' face and wouldn't even make the attempt to engage 682, every single time. The reason for this is anyone's guess, but it says something about 682 when even ''096'' refuses to fight it. |
| 424 | * YouAreAlreadyDead: If you look at its face in any way (including in a picture where his face was only 4 pixels), you are guaranteed to die. SCP-096 can reach anyone, anywhere on the planet and [[TheJuggernaut is impossible to stop or even slow down]]. |
| 425 | * YouAreNumber6: People targeted by SCP-096 are referred to as SCP-096-1. Yeah, if you see even ''4 pixels'' of this thing's face, you're so screwed The Foundation doesn't even consider you a ''person'' anymore. Also see above trope. |

| 437 | '''SCP-105''' is '''Iris Thompson''', an American woman of European descent. '''SCP-105-B''' is Iris' personal camera, a Polaroid One Step Express, which has no out-of-the-ordinary physical characteristics and operates normally for all persons aside from her. When Iris holds a photograph taken by 105-B, the photograph changes from a still image to that of a real-time image of the location in question. She is also able to reach through the photograph and manipulate objects within reach of the original point at which the photograph was taken, onlookers describing the manipulation as a disembodied female hand reaching out from an invisible portal. |

| 440 | ----- |
| 441 | * BrokenBird: It's obvious that her confinement in the Foundation is depressing her. Besides her ability, she's just a normal girl. Her time in Omega-7 and the ensuing Able Incident couldn't have helped either. |
| 442 | * ClearTheirName: She was accused of murdering her boyfriend. |
| 443 | * CoolBigSis: She acted as a sort of surrogate sister for SCP-239 before she was put into a coma. |
| 444 | * TheDogBitesBack: If she really was the girl used in project LETHE, she eventually got back at the Foundation for their abuse [[spoiler:by destroying humanity]]. |
| 445 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: If you take [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/project-isorropia Project Isorropía]] as canon, she went through unjust imprisonment by the Foundation, the Omega-7 disaster, ''and'' project LETHE, but ultimately became a Watcher of Alexandria Eternal. |
| 446 | -->Iris Thompson is welcomed inside the library as a Watcher of Alexandria Eternal. She is forgiven, but the people she once hated are not. |
| 447 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[invoked]] A non-time travel example. Given that she's been locked up for most of her life and only allowed to roam off-site after being press-ganged into Alpha-9, Iris is incredibly behind the times; for instance, [[TechnologyMarchesOn just finding film for her camera is a challenge because digital cameras took over in the meantime]]. |
| 448 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Anomalous or not, Iris is ultimately a not particularly dangerous girl who's kept imprisoned by the Foundation. Working with Omega-7 and later Alpha-9 turned her into a skilled specialist soldier. And if you believe she's Lily from [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3002 3002]], she [[spoiler:eventually destroyed human consciousness entirely]]. |
| 449 | * GranolaGirl: She shows signs of this considering she prefers healthy food, as seen on her choice of pizza from SCP-458. |
| 450 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Just as sweet as can be, with the hair to match. |
| 451 | * HeadTurningBeauty: She's often the subject of many personnel and humanoid [=SCPs=]' affections in various tales. [[SoBeautifulItsACurse For better or worse]]. |
| 452 | * MagicalCamera: She can turn photographs taken by her personal camera (SCP-105-B) into {{Portal Picture}}s. It's only limited to the photographs taken by SCP-105-B. The Resurrection canon reveals that she ''can'' also manipulate images from other cameras, although by the time she gets to try she's horribly out-of-practice and reports that it feels weird with a digital camera. |
| 453 | * MotorMouth: Her interview implies that she can be quite chatty when on a certain subject. |
| 454 | * NiceGirl: Very nice, which makes her predicament all the more tragic. |
| 455 | * OddFriendship: With SCP-073, due to their shared experiences in the Foundation (especially concerning Pandora's Box). |
| 456 | * PortalPicture: When she manipulates photos taken with her camera, her disembodied hand can be seen in the location depicted. |
| 457 | * ReluctantWarrior: As a team leader of Last Hope. Iris was never too keen on the whole idea, and only joined them so that they wouldn't grab someone else who had no idea what they were getting into... but when push comes to shove, she ''can'' throw down with the Foundation's best, and most definitely has racked up a body count. |
| 458 | * ShellShockedVeteran: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-wolves-at-the-door In the Resurrection canon]] (where the Foundation decides to re-form Pandora's Box as MTF Alpha-9 "Last Hope"), they naturally approach Iris to join them, and she understandably doesn't take it well. |

| 468 | \ |
| 469 | '''"KNEEL."''' |
| 470 | |
| 471 | '''SCP-106''', informally known as "'''The Old Man'''", is one of the most vicious, sadistic, brutal, and dangerous anomalies locked up by the Foundation. He's an elderly humanoid entity with a general appearance of very advanced decomposition. The Old Man is not exceptionally agile, and will remain motionless for days at a time, waiting for his prey. When attacking, he can phase through walls and corrode whatever he comes into contact with in pursuit of his prey. Once he has caught a victim, he will attempt to incapacitate them by damaging the major organs, muscle groups, or tendons, then pulling the disabled prey into a pocket dimension he has absolute control over, where he inflicts horrific torture on them for his sadistic amusement. |
| 472 | |
| 473 | The original author described his personality as similar to that of an elderly serial killer. There is an alternate version of him called '''SCP-0106'''. |
| 474 | |
| 475 | A list of his appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/the-old-man#pages here]]. |
| 476 | ----- |
| 477 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/once-but-not-now Once But Not Now]] implies that he's [[spoiler:a member of a HumanSubspecies who preyed on early humanity; but has realised he's the LastOfHisKind and that once he perishes, his race's entire culture and history will be completely forgotten]]. |
| 478 | * BadPowersBadPeople: An utterly depraved creature with the ability to decay all matter it touches. Though his [[DomainHolder other power]] is only bad because [[{{Sadist}} he]]'s the one using it. |
| 479 | * BodyHorror: It resembles a rotting, diseased corpse of an old man. Plus it makes its ''victims'' look like this. |
| 480 | * BreakoutVillain: He's one of the most popular monsters of the site, mostly thanks to his prominent role in ''VideoGame/SCPContainmentBreach''. |
| 481 | * ColdBloodedTorture: What it does to its victims when it drags them into its pocket dimension. The Old Man prefers to hunt, and will merely hobble its target before stalking and killing them. |
| 482 | * DirtyOldMan: Has a taste for young people, between the age of early adolescence and late twenties. In ''Containment Breach'', he sometimes comments that the player's hair "sMelLs sO nIcE". He also attempted to violently sexually assault a nurse in [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-young-man The Young Man]], resulting in her being partially blinded and maimed. |
| 483 | * DomainHolder: He has absolute control over his pocket dimension and those he's pulled into it. |
| 484 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: When his picture was taken by SCP-978, it revealed that what he really wants to do is be welcomed home by an unidentified woman. |
| 485 | * EvilBrit: Possibly as Corporal Lawrence in "The Young Man", who appeared to be a British WWI soldier with no identification papers, known relatives, or even a first name. |
| 486 | * EvilLaugh: He does this when he captures the player in ''Containment Breach''. Sounds a bit like [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]]. |
| 487 | * EvilOldFolks: It is a {{sadist}}ic entity that look like an old man. |
| 488 | * FreudianExcuse: If "[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/until-death Until Death]]" is considered [[MultipleChoicePast his real origin story]], he used to be [[WasOnceAMan a normal person]] who suffered a horrific AndIMustScream experience [[BodyHorror that warped his body]] [[SanitySlippage and mind]] into the monster he is today. |
| 489 | * HiddenDepths: He's pretty much a total monster, but if some tales are to be taken, he's deeply lonely inside and may even want to be human. Of course, it's not like he can express this to anyone unlucky enough to meet him. |
| 490 | * HumanoidAbomination: [[https://scp-wiki.wdfiles.com/local--files/scp-106/106emergenceklay.jpg JUST LOOK AT IT.]] While one of his origin stories, "The Young Man", suggest he was always this even before becoming falling into The Black Ooze and becoming 106, regardless of whether "The Young Man" is his true origin or not, despite his humanoid shape, he is very obviously ''not'' a human... [[MultipleChoicePast at least not anymore...]] |
| 491 | * HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: 106 enjoys toying with the player in ''Containment Breach'', first by cutting their tendon to prevent them from running, then pursuing them in his maze-like dimension like Freddy Krueger. |
| 492 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: His photo with SCP-978 reveals that he really wants to go back to his original home from when he was still Lawrence in "The Young Man", and return to what is implied to be his wife, above all else. |
| 493 | * ImplacableMan: Along with SCP-173 in ''Containment Breach''. Unlike the former, however, SCP-106 can be imprisoned again by sacrificing a [[RedShirt D-Class]] to it. If you pass up that opportunity, 106 gets zapped by a containment field just as it's about to escape the complex. |
| 494 | * LastOfHisKind: Fears he's this in "Once But Not Now". |
| 495 | * LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: This is used to lure him back into containment if he breaches, using a male D-Class whose femur they forcibly break causing him to scream and attract 106. |
| 496 | * MakeThemRot: He does this to ''absolutely everything'' he comes into contact with. |
| 497 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: In "The Young Man", it's suggested that even before Corporal Lawrence became the entity that is 106, he had a strange unsettling effect on the people around him, had no paperwork to explain his presence or apparent links back home, and illness seemed to strike everyone he was around. But it's never explicitly stated whether he was anomalous before becoming 106, or whether he was just an odd, creepy, but otherwise normal loner whose paperwork got lost in the confusion of World War One and who was a frequent subject of rumors from superstitious comrades. |
| 498 | * MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: He seems to breach containment pretty much whenever he feels like it. |
| 499 | * MixAndMatchMan: "Until Death" depicts him as incorporating torn out pieces of his victims' bodies into himself [[spoiler:as replacements for the organs he lost to 3001's deleterious effect as Robert Scranton]]. |
| 500 | * MultipleChoicePast: |
| 501 | ** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-young-man The Young Man]] suggests he was originally Corporal Lawrence, a WWI British soldier of obscure origin. |
| 502 | ** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/once-but-not-now Once But Not Now]] suggests he's the last known survivor of a prehistoric species that preyed on hominids. |
| 503 | ** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/until-death Until Death]] suggests he's [[spoiler:[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3001 the remains of Dr. Scranton]], warped into a demented TranshumanAbomination by the Red Reality's effects]]. |
| 504 | * NightmareFetishist: As many tropes on this page should tell you, he is very aroused by violence and depraved acts. He is noted to get sexual arousal from his evil actions and has been likened to a sex offender. |
| 505 | * OminousObsidianOoze: The Old Man is dripping with a caustic black slime which eats through anything, even the 40 layers of lead-lined steel that lines his cell. The fluid is apparently meant to aid "digestion". |
| 506 | * PocketDimension: It controls one of its own. It's ''very'' much [[EldritchLocation not a pretty place]]. |
| 507 | * PsychopathicManchild: According to [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/treats this tale]], he treats hunting on Halloween like trick-or-treating, even [[spoiler:sorting the bones of his victims like candy when he's done]]! |
| 508 | * RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-561991/the-leak here]], Dr. Gears all but implied that it at least takes [[{{Squick}} some form of sexual gratification out of torturing people]], with him even likening it to a [[PaedoHunt child molester]]. |
| 509 | * {{Sadist}}: He doesn't just attack people to attack and eat; SCP-106 enjoys seeing his prey hobble and struggle as he drags them into his pocket dimension to torture. There's also the fact that his main lure [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming is the sound of someone screaming in agony]]. |
| 510 | * SignatureRoar: In ''[[VideoGame/SCPContainmentBreach Containment Breach]]'', he utters [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgk7uiNKvQA bestial, ferocious, and guttural]] growling sounds and roars which are downright frightening. |
| 511 | * SlasherSmile: Seems to be because he doesn't have any flesh on his mandible. He may have done this when he was [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-young-man younger]], too. |
| 512 | * TheSpook: "The Young Man" has it that while he was still a "man", he simply arrived in the UsefulNotes/WW1 trenches without any orders or paperwork to explain why he was there, nor did he have any correspondence with family or friends. His photo with SCP-978 implies that, whether or not he was ever truly not anomalous, he did have a family, making it entirely possible that he was normal, and his paperwork was simply lost. |
| 513 | * SuddenlyVoiced: In ''Containment Breach'', if you happen to be in 106's pocket dimension, there will be a chance where you find a throne room with 106 sitting on top of the throne. At that point, SCP-106 will say in a [[EvilSoundsDeep deep]], [[VoiceOfTheLegion demonic]] voice "'''[[KneelBeforeZod KNEEL]]'''". |
| 514 | * TailorMadePrison: A really elaborate one, since SCP-106 can walk through walls. |
| 515 | ** SCP-106 is at the center of forty layers of lead-lined steel containers[[note]]SCP-106 shows aversion to lead.[[/note]], with gaps of empty space between them[[note]]Repeatedly entering and exiting materials delays SCP-106.[[/note]], and filled with random struts.[[note]]SCP-106 becomes confused when subject to complex/"random" structures.[[/note]] The container as a whole is electromagnetically suspended. |
| 516 | ** Secondary containment area comprises of sixteen spherical layers of fluids[[note]]Which also confuses 106.[[/note]], random assemblies, and an ultra-strong automatic light system.[[note]]SCP-106 doesn't like direct and sudden exposure to strong light.[[/note]] |
| 517 | ** [[GodzillaThreshold If all that fails]], then there's Recall Protocol ██ -███ -█, which involves luring SCP-106 back into containment via injuring a human subject (typically by breaking a femur bone) in the prepared containment cell and broadcasting their screams of agony throughout the facility to attract him. If SCP-106 does not respond, further injuries are inflicted upon the subject every 20 minutes until he responds. |
| 518 | * TimeAbyss: In "Once But Not Now", he remembers when ''homo sapiens'' first appeared and fought his original hominid prey. |
| 519 | * TragicMonster: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/until-death Until Death]] implies that it's actually [[spoiler:''[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3001 Robert Scranton]]'', having slowly learnt how to bend the Red Reality to his will after 30 years stuck in his FateWorseThenDeath, now endlessly searching for his wife Anna… unaware that he killed her with his TouchOfDeath years ago]]. |
| 520 | * UnsexySadist: He looks like a rotten corpse and appears to exist solely to cause suffering. |
| 521 | * VaderBreath: In ''Containment Breach'', he makes a deep growl-like breathing sound when chasing the player. |
| 522 | * WalkingWasteland: Anything it touches corrodes away, and its movement leaves behind thick patches of its corrosive mucus. The lining of its prison has to be replaced regularly. |
| 523 | * WallCrawl: He can climb straight up any vertical surface and even hang upside-down from ceilings. |
| 524 | * WasOnceAMan: If "The Young Man" or "Until Death" are any indication. |
| 525 | * WeakenedByTheLight: It cowers away into its pocket dimension when it is subject to a very bright flash. |
| 526 | * WouldHurtAChild: Definitely. The lower boundary of its preferred human prey age bracket is ''10''. Especially on [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/treats Halloween]]. |

| 531 | ->'''Authors:''' [=DrClef=], Cerastes [[superscript:(rewrite only)]]\ |
| 532 | '''Posted:''' Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008)\ |
| 533 | '''Rewritten:''' October 30th, 2020 |
| 534 | '''SCP-166''', also known as '''Epon''', is a girl in her late teens with antlers, hooved feet, and a short tail reminiscent of a reindeer. Despite these obvious features, an analysis of her DNA reveals no abnormal genetic traits. Any artificial objects within 15 meters of her gradually corrode or return to an unworked state. Within the same radius, plant life will rapidly begin to sprout, often growing in improbable places. Epon is believed to be the child of LTE-9927-Black ("The Goddess") and an "unknown father" ([[spoiler:Doctor Clef]]). She is also a devout Catholic, having been adopted by nuns in an Irish convent after her father abandoned her. |
| 535 | |
| 536 | SCP-166 originally was a Teenage Succubus, but the author decided to rewrite it. The original version of SCP-166 also has a sequel, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-0166 SCP-0166]]. |
| 537 | ----- |
| 538 | * AdaptationalModesty: Following her rewrite from a succubus to Gaea. The original version of her was permanently naked due to suffering from extremely fragile skin, while the new version of her wears loose fitting cotton clothing. |
| 539 | * AntiAntiChrist: She's implied to be the daughter of [[spoiler:Clef/Satan or a demon]]. [[spoiler:She is also implied to be the granddaughter of the Scarlet King on her mother's side.]] |
| 540 | * BlessedWithSuck: The original version of SCP-166 had one of the worst possible superpowers. She could make any man that looked at her become obsessed with having sex with her but couldn't turn it off. And being attacked by any man that saw her was made even worse by her having extremely fragile skin. The sequel and the rewritten version also have sucky abilities but not nearly as bad. |
| 541 | * ChildByRape: [[spoiler:SCP-4321 implies she's the result of Lilith sexually assaulting the man who would become Dr. Clef.]] |
| 542 | * GreenThumb: She can make plants grow, even in inorganic materials. |
| 543 | * HornedHumanoid: She possesses reindeer antlers. |
| 544 | * LittleBitBeastly: She generally looks human, but has the antlers, hooves and tail of a reindeer. |
| 545 | * NoNameGiven: Her name is not revealed in her SCP document, but several pages have given her the name Epon. |
| 546 | * PiousMonster: A pagan demigoddess or a half-demon who's also a devout Catholic. |
| 547 | * PowerIncontinence: All three versions of the character have powers that they can't turn off. The original version involuntarily forced any man that looked at her to have sex with her. The sequel warps reality around her to fit the ideals of Dark Romanticism. And the rewritten version causes abnormal plant growth and unmakes man-made objects around her. |
| 548 | * RandomSpeciesOffspring: The original version of SCP-166 was a humanoid with abilities similar to a succubus. Her mother was a nature goddess. Her father is Dr. Clef, a man with a MultipleChoicePast, who may or may not be entirely human, and has claimed to be the devil. This is no longer the case in the rewritten version, where her parents are the same but she takes after her mother instead. |
| 549 | * {{Rewrite}}: SCP-166 used to be a teenaged succubus instead of a teenaged Gaea before the author decided to rewrite it. |
| 550 | * SuccubiAndIncubi: The original version of SCP-166 was implied to be a half-demon and could instantly make any man desire her sexually but couldn't turn her ability off. |
| 551 | * WalkingTechbane: She destroys man-made objects around her, with complex inorganic objects being destroyed the quickest. |

| 555 | !![[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-169 SCP-169]] - The Leviathan |
| 556 | ->'''Author:''' ''(unknown)''\ |
| 557 | '''Posted:''' Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008) |
| 558 | '''SCP-169''', known as "'''The Leviathan'''" by generations of sailors, is a marine arthropod of ''titanic'' size, with a body length estimated between 2000 and 8000 km. The Leviathan is thought to have existed since the Precambrian era, though no other specimens of its species have been sighted. The creature moves slowly, less than one kilometer per week, but seems to be adrift through an unknown method of propulsion. Regular seismic tremors seem to indicate the creature "breathing" every 3 months, suggesting that the creature is dormant. The Foundation has no methods of containing the Leviathan due to its immense size, so the best they can hope to do is pray that it never wakes up. |
| 559 | |
| 560 | SCP-169 is the main character of the [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/old-man-in-the-sea-hub Old Man in the Sea]] canon. |
| 561 | ----- |
| 562 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: Described as a massive aquatic arthropod. |
| 563 | * EldritchAbomination: A gigantic sea creature that is very old, very big and if or when it wakes up, nothing would be able to stop it. The only containment procedure is basically "Hope it keeps sleeping. And if it wakes up, hope it's friendly." |
| 564 | * GiantEqualsInvincible: Taken to its logical conclusion. There's really nothing the Foundation can do to contain or fight something the size of a continent. One of the Foundation’s attempts to wipe out humanity in SCP-5000 involved dropping several nukes onto it. It barely stirred in its sleep, which was enough to cause enormous tidal waves. |
| 565 | * KrakenAndLeviathan: It's so big that the armored plates that rise above the water make up an entire archipelago. |
| 566 | * TurtleIsland: SCP-169 is a sea creature 2,000-8,000 kilometers long that has spent at least the last few millennia just below the surface of the ocean. The rock-like plates protruding from it constitute an archipelago of islands. |
| 567 | * TimeAbyss: It is estimated that it is a being from the Precambrian, which ended 635 million years ago. |

| 570 | [[folder:SCP-173 — The Sculpture]] |
| 571 | !![[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173 SCP-173]] - The Sculpture - '''The Original''' |
| 572 | ->'''Author:''' Moto42\ |
| 573 | '''Posted:''' June 22nd, 2007 |
| 574 | '''SCP-173''' is one of the more abominable anomalies in the Foundation's records. It's a sculpture constructed from concrete and rebar, with a face made from Krylon brand spray paint. 173 is animate and extremely hostile, but it cannot move while within a direct line of sight. The instant it is unobserved, the statue will attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull. |
| 575 | |
| 576 | SCP-173 holds the distinction of being the first SCP ever written, inspiring the creation of the entire SCP universe. |
| 577 | |
| 578 | The photo that inspired and formerly was used on the SCP-173 article was actually a picture of an art piece called "Untitled 2004" by Izumi Kato. Because the image was so iconic, it was a rare exception to the SCP wiki's usual image use policies, and thus for legal reasons the SCP-173 page had to be edited to include warnings about how the image and its likeness can be used. In February of 2022, the photo was removed to remain on the safe side of copyright law due to it not technically being compliant with Creative Commons (CC-BY-SA 3.0), as well as the ethical quandary of it essentially being hijacked from the original artist. See [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-14469202/announcement-regarding-the-removal-of-scp-173-s-image this post]] on the SCP forums for further details, and [[http://izumikato.com/Untitled-2004 here]] for an image of it on the artist's official website. |
| 579 | |
| 580 | A list of its appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/the-sculpture#pages here]]. |
| 581 | ----- |
| 582 | * AndIMustScream: According to the story "Crunch", 173 hates being frozen in stone. It's only happy when there are no people around (or alive) and it can move about freely. Since 173 is a lab specimen, this doesn't happen often. |
| 583 | * ArtImitatesArt: Its appearance is based on the sculpture "Untitled 2004", by Izumi Kato. |
| 584 | * CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: It becomes a harmless statue when it's observed, but the second eyes are taken off it... Hence constant surveillance must be on SCP-173 while there are people with it, with a minimum of three people at any given time. Even so much as blinking, sneezing, or closing your eyes for any amount of time, for any reason, will cause it to move next to you. You close your eyes again, ''[[NeckSnap crunch.]]'' |
| 585 | * CruelMercy: In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/crunch Crunch]], it refuses to kill [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-451 SCP-451]] even when he closed his eyes in front of it, thinking it would be far more horrific for him if he was allowed a slow death. |
| 586 | * TheDreaded: Even [[TheJuggernaut SCP-682]] is afraid of this guy, cramming itself against the farthest wall, staring for hours on end, and evolving extra, armored sets of eyes rather than trying to kill it. |
| 587 | %%* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: This [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/revised-entry short story]] describes what might happen if SCP-173 starts reproducing. It also describes a scene where 150 of them gang up on SCP-682 and actually rip him apart. |
| 588 | * TheHeavy: In ''SCP: Containment Breach'', 173 is the main threat you'll face when navigating the facility. It breaching its containment is what kickstarts the actual game, and one of the game's primary mechanics (the blink meter) is built around dealing with it. |
| 589 | * HeelFaceTurn: In SCP-6001, SCP-173 stops its hostility when the Foundation finds a way to communicate with it. It ends up being placed in a museum, where people flock to see it. As Primrose the cat explains, being a prisoner in the Foundation is hell for 173 because, as a sculpture, it considers itself a work of art and thus ''wants'' people to see it -- which doesn't work out so well when it's imprisoned in a dingy room, rotting in its own filth. |
| 590 | * HiveMind: The army of duplicates in the revised entry are theorized to have a hive consciousness. |
| 591 | * HorrifyingTheHorror: Even the most horrifying of [=SCPs=] ''freeze'' upon seeing this thing. It says something when even 682 backs away upon seeing 173, and 096 decided to [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere bolt out of there]] after he was effortlessly trounced by it numerous times. |
| 592 | * HumanoidAbomination: ''Possibly''. When SCP-187 (who can see the present and future states of anything she's looking at) saw this thing, all she could do was ''[[BrownNote scream]]'' until she collapsed, slipped into a coma for two days and had no recollection of what she saw upon waking up. |
| 593 | * ImplacableMan: In ''Containment Breach''. You can sometimes hear scraping stone coming from the walls; SCP-173 can navigate vents. |
| 594 | * InvincibleBoogeymen: It is in all respects, unkillable, and the only defense against it is to maintain eye contact with it at all times. |
| 595 | * LightningBruiser: It can move at a frighteningly fast pace as long as it's not being watched, it's effectively indestructible, and its preferred method of attack usually instantly kills its victims. |
| 596 | * LivingStatue: Like many items on this list, 173 is a mundane-looking, manmade object which has supernatural powers. Also, a mixture of human blood and feces inexplicably appears in any room it's stored in. Needless to say, [[RedShirt D-class personnel]] are used to clean it up. |
| 597 | * MultipleChoicePast: Since the original article never gave any explanation for where it came from, several writers have come up with their own ideas for its origin. |
| 598 | * MurderousMannequin: A tacky totem which looks like it was cobbled together by a high school art student. And it ''loves'' to snap necks. |
| 599 | * NeckSnap: Its method of attack. Suffocation will also do in a pinch. |
| 600 | * NobodyPoops: Averted somehow. SCP-173's cell has a combination of blood and feces accumulate across the floor through an unknown method, requiring that it be cleaned on a bi-weekly basis. |
| 601 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: It delivered one to ''682''. Researchers theorized that the only reason 173 didn't finish the job was the difference in mass between the two objects. |
| 602 | * OffscreenTeleportation: It moves extremely quickly when not being seen, similar to that of [[Series/DoctorWho the Weeping Angels]]. |
| 603 | * OmnicidalManiac: To a certain extent. It doesn't discriminate between whose neck it snaps, be they human or SCP. |
| 604 | * SelfDuplication: In a [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/revised-entry revised entry]], it duplicates into an army that overturns both North and South America, leading to both continents being nuked. |
| 605 | * SeriesMascot: SCP-173 is the ''original'' and most well-known SCP, inspiring the creation of the entire SCP universe. |
| 606 | %%* SickeningCrunch: It apparently [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/crunch loves this trope]]. |
| 607 | * SuperSpeed: The instant it's not being watched, it will zoom towards the nearest person and snap their neck, at speeds so fast you'd be lucky to open your eyes again before it touches you. |
| 608 | * SymbolFace: The statue, among the multiple horrifying qualities such as moving when not looked at and snapping necks, has an odd pattern on its "face". It's unknown what its meaning is, or who painted it. It might just be abstract art, or an attempt to generate fear. |
| 609 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: If the [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-173-j joke version of its article is to be believed]] it used to be friendly before the paint on its face got smudged, which altered its personality. |
| 610 | * WasOnceAMan: One article suggests it was originally Ted, the narrator, of ''Literature/IHaveNoMouthAndIMustScream'', and that his murderous tendencies is him being a subconscious DeathSeeker. |
| 611 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[MultipleChoicePast A different joke article than the one mentioned above]] reveals that it used to be harmless but now lashes out at humans because it's in constant agony from [[spoiler:its never-ending diarrhea, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero which the foundation inflicted on it]] ForScience.]] |

| 616 | ->'''Author:''' Dr Reach\ |
| 617 | '''Posted:''' May 1st, 2014 [[superscript:(Spanish)]], June 3rd, 2014 [[superscript:(English)]] |
| 618 | '''SCP-179''' (originally '''SCP-ES-026''') is an immense humanoid entity who identifies as "'''Sauelsuesor'''" located 40,000 km from the South region of the solar photosphere. Her external appearance has been defined as a woman of undetermined ethnicity between 20 and 40 years of age. Her entire bodily surface is covered in, or composed of, a matte black material. Her hair measures over 34km long and is constantly blown by solar wind. Several markings, identified as those typically representing the Sun, are placed throughout her body. Through satellite communication, the Foundation has learned that Sauelsuesor is strongly fond of both the sun and is kind, loving, caring, and benevolent toward all life. As per her own words, she acts as "the lookout" for the solar system, pointing out astronomical threats from other galaxies. She will typically point to approaching interstellar threats in the direction they arrive in, growing additional arms to point out multiple threats. |
| 619 | ----- |
| 620 | * BigGood: On a cosmic level, she and her "brother" (the SUN) are the most benign and helpful superpowered entities which the Foundation has encountered to date. In the [[CrapsackWorld universe of the SCP Foundation]], that quality is vanishingly rare. Sauelsuesor is not classified [[MeaningfulName Thaumiel]] for nothing. On the other hand, the Foundation restricts access to her to prevent their enemies of knowing about any potential attacks they may launch. |
| 621 | * CanonForeigner: SCP-179 is originally from the Spanish Branch's website, where she is listed as SCP-ES-026. |
| 622 | * GuardianEntity: For every sapient species living in (or around, or beside, or looking in) Earth's solar system, of which humans are simply one of the most talkative. She points towards incoming or active threats to life in the system, at times growing extra arms to point. When a threat is addressed by the Foundation, she will nod, and then put the arm down. |
| 623 | * IndoEuropeanAlienLanguage: Played with. While she can speak in modern French, her name- see below, is composed of Indo European words, albeit ancient ones, despite even the oldest dates for the proto-language being thousands of years younger than she is. Also stretches the definition of [[{{NotQuiteHuman}} alien]] for reasons further below. |
| 624 | * MeaningfulName: A rather obscure one; her name means "the sister of the Sun" in what appears to be ancient Indo-European. Some of the additional names listed in the link below also relate to the sun, with references to [[{{Myth/JapaneseMythology}} Amaterasu]] and [[{{Myth/ClassicalMythology}} Phoebe]]. |
| 625 | * MultiArmedMultitasking: When having to point at multiple objects, more arms will be formed. |
| 626 | * TheNeedless: Floats in space just a few thousand miles below Sol, having no need for food, rest, or air. |
| 627 | * PowerOfTheSun: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-1048694/scp-2115 Apparently]][[note]]It's on the second page[[/note]] possesses a metabolism based on the reaction/fusion of solar wind. |
| 628 | * PowerTattoo: A series of glowing alchemy symbols over her matte black body. |
| 629 | * ProphetEyes: According to this [[https://lafundacionscp.wikidot.com/la-vigia tale]] her eyes are "A moon-silver color"[[note]]Translated from Spanish; SCP-179 was originally ES-SCP-026 before being brought over to the main list.[[/note]] and she can detect threats from beyond Neptune to boot. |
| 630 | * SensorCharacter: Sensitive to all forms of electromagnetic radiation, and also capable of detecting specifically harmful objects at astronomical distances. |
| 631 | * SpaceIsSlowMotion: Subverted; while she only appears to move once every few weeks, the interview shows that she is capable of moving in real time. And while there's a several minute long break between her lines of dialogue, that's just due to the time delay between Earth and the Sun. |
| 632 | * TimeAbyss: In the discussion, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-869097/scp-179#post-2119439 a user calculated her age]] by comparing the normal rate at which human hair grows to the current length of her hair (which is over 34 kilometers long). They came to the conclusion that she is roughly 22,700 years old, which [[WordOfGod the author confirmed.]] |
| 633 | * WasOnceAMan: Formerly a hunter-gatherer woman from prehistoric Earth. She also speaks fluent French. |

| 639 | '''Posted:''' June 29th, 2010 |
| 640 | '''SCP-191''' is a young girl who served as an involuntary test subject of several experimental surgeries by a mad scientist. 80% of the left half of her face and skull have been removed, with the eye and ear replaced by a complex transceiver system. Her right hand, right foreleg, and nearly half of her face have been replaced with artificial components consisting of steel, carbon-fiber, and an unknown polymer-like substance. Ever since her transformation, she refers to herself as a machine, and is content without being reminded of any details about her former life as a human. |
| 641 | ----- |
| 642 | * BackFromTheDead: Her lungs, heart, and major blood vessels have been replaced with mechanical parts that can "restart" her bodily system after death. |
| 643 | * BodyHorror: She had plenty of body parts removed (for starters, she lost [[TwoFaced half her face]] plus mouth) and replaced with horrific implements, along with weird substitutes to keep the biological systems working. |
| 644 | * CyberneticsEatYourSoul: The experiment log (see below) seem to imply that she sees herself as a machine rather than a human being. |
| 645 | * {{Cyborg}}: Hence why she's known as the "Cyborg Child." |
| 646 | * ElectronicEyes: Her left eye was changed with one that [[GlowingMechanicalEyes glows red]] (but can change to green in "data reading" mode) and can see radiation outside the visible spectrum. |
| 647 | * FlawedPrototype: It's believed that she's simply a testbed for other subjects. Some of her modifications seem to be pointless. She's susceptible to injury and infection, and the modification leave her with impaired motor skills. |
| 648 | * TheGrotesque: Her hideous mechanical form and the fact that she was forcibly altered into said form makes it hard not feel sorry for the poor girl. |
| 649 | * RobotGirl: An example without the trope's usual sex appeal (helps she's less than 10 years old). |
| 650 | * SchizoTech: Along with technology so advanced it made the Foundation keep her, there are serial buses for obsolete interfaces such as Firewire and DIN-8. |
| 651 | * ShrinkingViolet: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/experiment-log-191 The experiment log]] hint that she's this. |
| 652 | * SoleSurvivor: Other subjects were destroyed during the raid on the laboratory of her creator MadScientist. |
| 653 | * TheSpeechless: Given her mouth and larynx were removed, she cannot speak. "Typing" while connected to a computer is another deal. |
| 654 | * {{Technopath}}: A limited example, as she can connect with electronic equipment and use it. |
| 655 | * TechnoWizard: Can perform some amazing feats when linked to a computer. She can draw perfect copies of photographs with MS Paint using only the pencil tool, copy and load the contents of a broken game disc onto a console and make a perfect run-through - despite the console being the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}, which is all about motion control, and she was able to dub the Wiimote controls "despite the fact that it did not make any physical movements consistent."[[note]]Also, it's implied the game is ''Videogame/MetroidPrime3Corruption'', not that easy to play, much less to get HundredPercentCompletion[[/note]] and perform impossible [[EnhanceButton video-enhancement techniques (from cop shows)]] using a normal program. The last one isn't perfect (she made-up license plate numbers for cars she could not identify, and substitutes Foundation staff for individuals she can't make out), but they're good enough that many on-site personnel were unable to tell they were the forgeries. |
| 656 | * TroubledFetalPosition: Prefers to stay in this position out of comfort, thanks to all the haphazard machinery sticking out of her flesh. |

| 660 | !![[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-231 SCP-231]] - Special Personnel Requirements |
| 661 | ->'''Author:''' [=DrClef=]\ |
| 662 | '''Posted:''' October 3rd, 2008 |
| 663 | One of the most infamous of all [=SCPs=] contained, '''SCP-231''' were formerly a group of seven young women, designated '''SCP-231-1''' through '''-7''', impregnated with otherworldly horrors via a demonic ritual. 24 hours after rescue, 231-1 went into labor pains and gave birth to a creature that caused countless casualties. 231-2 through -6 followed suit, giving birth to similar monsters that resulted in the death of themselves and others, leaving only 231-7, the '''Seventh Bride''', yet to do so. Based on notebooks recovered from the cult who abducted the women, the Foundation instituted an unspeakable and highly scarring series of events designated "'''Procedure 110-Montauk'''" to feed the child with fear, terror, and suspense to keep it placated, as it is theorized that the world will end if it is born. |
| 664 | ----- |
| 665 | %%* AndIMustScream: One of the better examples of why "less" is "more"; she has to be ''constantly subjected to this'', or else the monster fetus inside her will destroy the world. |
| 666 | * ApocalypseMaiden: Not of her own choice, though; the creepy sex cult that impregnated her put some kind of abomination in her womb that could end the world. |
| 667 | * DeathByChildbirth: Happened to 231-5. Removing the SCP-██ also leads to death, even in a case where [[{{Panacea}} SCP-500]] was used. |
| 668 | * DrivenToSuicide: |
| 669 | ** 231-3 is stated to have killed herself due to what 110-Montauk causes. |
| 670 | ** When the effectiveness of 110-Montauk was dropping due to 231-7 getting used to the procedure, one researcher proposed that the horror of the torture could be maintained if she was mind-wiped regularly. It worked, and the researcher committed suicide "[[MyGodWhatHaveIDone from heightened emotional stress]]." |
| 671 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-white-horse "The White Horse (The Conqueror With The Golden Crown)"]] of the Competitive Eschatology canon, [[spoiler:SCP-231-7 finally gains her freedom after years of torment when she's awakened as Conquest of the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse, kills her tormentors, defies God Himself and chews Him out for not helping her and leaves the Earth to travel across the stars]]. |
| 672 | * TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Assumed to be what will happen if Procedure 110-Montauk is not regularly carried out on SCP-231-7, as each time a member of SCP-231 gives birth, something horrible happens that kills lot of people, and each subsequent birth kills more than the previous. |
| 673 | * FetusTerrible: The SCP-██ she carries is some kind of horrific, inhuman... ''thing'' that will apparently end the world if not kept in check with Procedure 110-Montauk. |
| 674 | * HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: She was supposed to be Conquest in the Competitive Eschatology canon. [[spoiler:She quits the job and leaves Earth.]] |
| 675 | * MeaningfulName: According to WordOfGod, Procedure 110-Montauk is named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montauk_Project Montauk Project]], which has some nasty implications. |
| 676 | * MortonsFork: Regardless if an instance of SCP-231 successfully gives birth, dies, or has the fetus removed through some method, as soon as the fetus exits their body, █████████████ event will initiate, resulting in massive and ever-increasing amounts of casualties and destruction. |
| 677 | * NeverBeHurtAgain: In the Competitive Eschatology, she declares that she will never belong to anyone again and leaves the Earth with her newfound freedom, abandoning her role as the Horseman of Conquest. |
| 678 | * NoodleIncident: Procedure 110-Montauk. Which is probably for the best, given what we ''do'' know about it: |
| 679 | ** One of the girls subjected to it was DrivenToSuicide because of it, and Foundation personnel assigned to this SCP had a very high suicide rate before routine memory wipes were implemented. |
| 680 | ** The emotional trauma it causes is ''absolutely necessary'' for the procedure to have full effect; even her getting a little used to the procedure could cause it to fail. |
| 681 | ** [[BlackComedyAnimalCruelty SCP-1459]] (an arcade crane game machine that involves finding creative ways to kill puppies) absolutely ''refuses'' to use the procedure in its games, despite allowing all sorts of horrible demises. It gives a cyanide cookie to the researcher who made the request. |
| 682 | ** The FetusTerrible that SCP-231 instances give birth to are all designated SCP-██, which implies that the entity is known and contained by the Foundation. The problem is, the Foundation ''doesn't have'' two-digit designations; [=SCPs=] before 100 are referred to as 001 through 099. |
| 683 | %%* NothingIsScarier is about a horror scenario where there is empty nothingness for a while, until either the monster/villain appears in a JumpScare, there is no monster to begin with, or it turns out the monster was there the entire time. Procedure 110-Montauk doesn't fit any of there. |
| 684 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She gives SCP-343 a ''scathing'' one in the Competitive Eschatology canon, berating Him for the fact that He knew what she was going through and never once thought to help her or stop the Foundation. |
| 685 | -->'''SCP-343:''' "My child, it is time to forgive the Foundation for their transgressions—"\ |
| 686 | '''SCP-231-7:''' Don't talk to me about the Foundation. I'm not angry with the Foundation, I'm angry with ''you''. ''They'' didn't know what they were doing. Thought they were saving the world. But you… You could have told the Foundation what I was. You could have just taken me away from them. You could have done ''something''. Even just a word to O5-14… But you did ''nothing''. Do you — of course you do. You know exactly what they did to me. You know every last detail. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis And. You. Did. Nothing.]] |
| 687 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, SCP-231-7, upon awakening as a Horseman of the Apocalypse, decides to take advantage of her new freedom and leaves the Earth to travel the universe. |
| 688 | * SealedEvilInACan: SCP-231-7 ''is'' the can for... whatever EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt entity it is that she carries. And the Foundation has to do some horrible stuff to keep it in there. Trust us, YouDoNOTWantToKnow. |
| 689 | * SoleSurvivor: SCP-231-7 is the last of seven "brides" of the Scarlet King. The first died giving birth, the second, fourth and fifth were killed in botched attempts to remove their fetuses, the third committed suicide and the sixth died in an escape attempt. |
| 690 | * ThrowTheDogABone: |
| 691 | ** The [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/new-job New Job]] article claims that [[spoiler:SCP-231-7 was allowed to give birth by the 05 Council when they found evidence that her child wouldn't destroy the world, but would instead save it from the Scarlet King. As a result she gave birth to SCP-999 who cured her trauma. Afterwards, she was returned to her family; all of them were given class F amnestics; they received new identities and were relocated away from the closest known location of the Scarlet King's cult; and the Foundation's Ethics Committee saw to it that the families of all seven SCP-231s were each given a "seven figure payout" as compensation for the misdeeds done against their daughters.]] |
| 692 | ** Another tale, called [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/fear-alone Fear Alone]], actually [[TheReveal elaborates what Procedure 110-Montauk really is...]] [[spoiler:and it's revealed to be a D-class simply reading 231-7 a bedtime story. It's elaborated by a doctor that the [[BigBad Scarlet King]] can't register our universe normally, and relies on the belief of others as its "eyes." Since Procedure-110 Montauk is believed to be something so horrifying it can't be described, the Scarlet King revels in it, thus preventing it from crossing over to our universe.]] |
| 693 | * WouldHurtAChild: Kind of; anyone who is assigned for Procedure 110-Montauk needs to be fully willing to do something horrific to a girl... though violent criminals are not to be used to avoid the risk of killing her. |

| 698 | ->'''Author:''' Dantensen\ |
| 699 | '''Posted:''' October 31st, 2008 |
| 700 | '''SCP-239''', known by the name of '''Sigurrós Stefánsdóttir''', is an 8-year-old girl that possesses apparent omnipotence, able to do whatever she expresses the will to do. Though her abilities only seem to be able to affect herself and her immediate surroundings, her self-preservation instinct makes her virtually invincible while conscious. As a method of controlling her powers, the Foundation has told Sigurrós that she is a witch, led to believe that she is unable to use her abilities outside of a pre-approved list of "spells" given to her by the Foundation. |
| 701 | |
| 702 | A list of her appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/sigurros#pages here]]. |
| 703 | ----- |
| 704 | * AbusiveParents: In the tale [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/da-capo-al-fine "Da Capo Al Fine"]], Sigurros' fifth birthday wish is that her parents had never died. [[RealityWarper Naturally, it comes true]] and she ends up discovering that her father was an abusive {{Jerkass}} who would beat her mother and presumably her too. Sigurros endures a year of this before wishing she had never made that wish and finding herself back in her foster home on her fifth birthday. |
| 705 | * ArchEnemy: Of Dr Clef. [[spoiler:Maybe. It's implied he may have accidentally influenced her into thinking that he might kill her]]. |
| 706 | * CharmPerson: Her powers can be implemented in this way, converting people into her "friends." |
| 707 | * ChildMage: One of the ways the Foundation tried to control her was by convincing her that she was actually a Witch, hence why she's known as "The Witch Child," and that she was unable to use her powers without the aid of a specially-created spellbook. This, sadly, no longer works. |
| 708 | * CosmicChessGame: She doesn't play chess, so when SCP-343 challenges her to a cosmic chess game, she turns her side of board into TabletopGame/YuGiOh. |
| 709 | * CreepyChild: [[ChildrenAreInnocent Although not malevolent,]] as only her glowing features, capacity of influencing others, and [[RealityWarper potentially world wrecking powers]] make her disturbing. |
| 710 | * DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: For the RealityWarper. Even if she is just a sweet little kid, her mere ''existence'' offers up so many terrifying possibilities that could go horribly wrong that the "safest" option for the rest of the world to keep her in a perpetual coma-like state. She had to be put permanently into a coma because of problems her unconscious alteration of reality caused (though she can't fully be blamed since she's a ''child'' and Dr. Clef's suspicion of her [[SelfFulfillingProphecy actually ended up sparking the trouble in the first place]]). |
| 711 | * DeepSleep: She's to be kept in a medically induced coma until further notice. |
| 712 | * TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: If she starts becoming malevolent, the Foundation fears her destroying reality is a possibility due to her powers, and one of the reasons why she is still in a coma. |
| 713 | * GenderBender: In "Da Capo al Fine", she turns herself into a boy for a year, then decides to go back to being a girl. During this time, she changes her name to [[SobriquetSexSwitch "Stefán Sigurrósson"]]. |
| 714 | * {{God}}: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/supplemental-report-239-b-192 One of many theories]] is that she (and presumably not SCP-343) is the Abrahamic God. Of course, it's one of ''[[UnreliableNarrator Clef's]]'' theories. |
| 715 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: Her eyes emit a previously unknown but classified form of radiation. In low concentrations, the waves are harmless, but if concentrated can [[EyeBeams break down matter on a subatomic level]]. |
| 716 | * GooGooGodLike: She's incredibly powerful and dangerous, but she doesn't even know it. |
| 717 | * LittleMissAlmighty: Deconstructed. She's all powerful but being a child, has little knowledge or control to make herself a PersonOfMassDestruction. |
| 718 | * MeaningfulName: She shares her last name with that of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erla_Stefánsdóttir Erla Stefánsdóttir]], an Icelandic piano-teacher and self-proclaimed seer who is best known for having frequently given public comments on [[OurFairiesAreDifferent the huldufólk]] of Iceland. She also takes her first name from [[Music/{{SigurRos}} a popular Icelandic]] AlternativeRock band. |
| 719 | * MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds: The reason for her Keter classification despite being non-malevolent. |
| 720 | * NiceGirl: Despite being Keter-class, she wants to be a "good girl" but her power makes her too dangerous and too difficult to control. Just to prove how not evil she is, she brought a dead bird back to life because its chicks were crying for it. |
| 721 | * NightmareOfNormality: Downplayed, as she was encouraged to think of herself as a witch with a limited number of spells rather than an all-powerful reality-bender. |
| 722 | * RealityWarper: Whatever she wants becomes reality. For instance, when Clef threatens her after she's seen ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'', [[ScaledUp he turns into a dragon]]. |
| 723 | * SelfMadeOrphan: After she was born, she caused an enormous explosion that only she survived, so we can assume that her parents didn't make it. |
| 724 | * SpellBook: She was given [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-239-s-spell-book one]] in an attempt to limit her power to only casting certain spells. |
| 725 | * UnstablePoweredChild: She's a little girl who can't control her reality-warping powers, so the Foundation keeps her in a medically induced coma for her and everyone else's protection. |
| 726 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Depending how you look at her situation and what could happen if she ever wakes up. |

| 731 | ->'''Author:''' [=AdminBright=]\ |
| 732 | '''Posted:''' September 20th, 2010 |
| 733 | '''SCP-321''' is '''Sarah Bright''', the fifth-born child of Dr. Bright. Having been stillborn, Bright took it upon himself to make use of several [=SCPs=] in an effort to bring Sarah back to life. The procedure worked, but she was promptly taken into custody for examination and given an official SCP designation. Sarah is currently 3.1 m tall, and is devoid of melanin in her hair, eyes, and skin. She is incapable of speech, but can still vocalize, and has proven to have problems with spacial recognition and awareness. She is capable of healing injuries inflicted upon her at approximately five times the rate of a regular human. Although her aging has been slowed, Sarah has continued to grow, showing no signs of stopping despite now being taller than any recorded human. |
| 734 | ----- |
| 735 | * BackFromTheDead: She was originally stillborn, but her father used several SCP items — [[spoiler:including her big brother SCP-590]] — to bring her back to life. |
| 736 | * CameBackWrong: While she was successfully revived from the dead, she now has accelerated growth and healing abilities. She also still has the mind of an infant after all these years. |
| 737 | * DemonicPossession: In the tale [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/intheendwedarenotgoahunting In The End: We Dare Not Go A Hunting]], her body gets hijacked by the queen of the fairies. |
| 738 | * GentleGiant: Despite being 3.1 meters (''10 feet'') tall, she's harmless. |
| 739 | * HealingFactor: She can heal injuries at five times the rate of a normal human. |
| 740 | * LukeIAmYourFather: According to [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-561991/the-leak#post-1643635 The Leak thread]] she's Dr. Bright's little sister. |
| 741 | * NoNameGiven: As with many other SCP items. However, the [[https://web.archive.org/web/20160315115906/https://clay.blorgblorgbl.org/logs/JillsBrushWithDeath.html Active Duty]] log strongly suggests that her name is "Sarah." |
| 742 | * Really700YearsOld: She was originally born in the 1800s. |
| 743 | * TheUnintelligible: She's incapable of coherent speech, instead crying and making noises commonly made by babies. |
| 744 | * WomanChild: [[VagueAge While her exact age isn't specified]], she behaves very much like a young toddler due to her mental illness. |

| 755 | '''SCP-343''' is a seemingly raceless old man in a white suit, appearing to possess total omnipotence and claiming to be the [[{{God}} creator of the universe]]. His ability to phase through walls and dissapear/reappear at will has rendered containing him impossible. But despite the fact that he can escape with no fuss, he was detained willingly and stays contained voluntarily. Given that he never actively attempts to break containment and behaves politely, the Foundation usually leaves him alone or gives him whatever he desires. He also has a past history with Dr. Clef, spanning back to his days in the GOC as "[[AtrociousAlias Agent Ukulele]]." |

| 757 | A list of his appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/alleged-god here]]. |
| 758 | ----- |
| 759 | * AbusiveParents: Comes off as this towards SCP-231-7 in the Competitive Eschatology; Bobble refers to her as 343's "favorite little girl" who "ran away from home". 231-7 herself calls out 343 for not saving her when he had the chance, and in response he first dismisses her concerns, then tries to [[OffingTheOffspring erase her from existence when she defies him]]. |
| 760 | * AccompliceByInaction: In the Competitive Eschatology, SCP-231-7 accuses him of being one, pointing out that he knew she was being tortured and just stood by and let it happen. |
| 761 | * AffablyEvil: One perspective of him, anyway. He's affable, but his morality is pretty ambiguous and in the Competitive Eschatology, he's part of the world-ending BigBadEnsemble. |
| 762 | * AllPowerfulBystander: This is actually one of the reasons why the article hasn't been deleted, as — unlike the aggressive, demanding reality warpers like [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/decomm:scp-531-d 531-D]] — "God" makes no demands of the staff and poses no (apparent) threat to the world at large. |
| 763 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: He is somehow influencing the Foundation into giving him whatever he wants, but we don't know his end goal or if he even has one. |
| 764 | * BiggerOnTheInside: A Foundation Doctor noted that after SCP-343 renovated his cell, it seemed to be many times larger on the inside than when viewed from the outside. |
| 765 | * BreakTheBadass: In SCP-6666, he tells Clef of a time when he was still a mortal sorcerer named Methuselah, and how he was captured and tortured by the Children of the Night. He was clearly traumatized by the events, and is still terrified of the Children. He even asks Clef if the Foundation have found any signs of the Children still existing, in which case he intends to flee to another realm immediately. |
| 766 | * CoolOldGuy: He's rather cheerful and pleasant. Personnel who interact with him tend to feel happier afterwards. |
| 767 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: According to Cain in SCP-6666, he was once a mortal sorcerer named Methuselah the Arcanist, though how he became an all-powerful reality warper is unknown. |
| 768 | %%* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: He's one of the main players in the Competitive Eschatology canon, as Yahve (or somebody who merely believes he's Yahve). |
| 769 | * EnemyMine: Teams up with Clef to stop 239 in "Unfinished Business." |
| 770 | %%* FriendlyEnemy: With Clef, in one of the Foundation Tales. |
| 771 | %%* {{God}}: What he claims to be, at least. |
| 772 | * AGodAmI: He calls himself God, yes. Although he (apparently) is a fairly benevolent example of this trope. |
| 773 | * GodIsEvil: In the Competitive Eschatology Canon, he wants TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, willingly let SCP-231-7 suffer as much as she did, and has [[MonsterClown Bobble the Clown]] as one of his Horsemen. |
| 774 | * GrandpaGod: If he really is God, since he looks like an older man. |
| 775 | %%* InsistentTerminology: He doesn't like the term RealityWarper and prefers the term "Shaper." |
| 776 | %%* MentorArchetype: He is this to SCP-239. |
| 777 | * MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: It is absolutely impossible to contain 343; in fact, the only reason he remains in captivity is because he seems to like the Foundation. |
| 778 | * MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: In "Unfinished Business", it's revealed that [[spoiler:he's a [[RealityWarper Type Green]], like 239 and 531-D;]] however, he's also one of the rare few who was able to stop himself from descending into destructive megalomania, hence the reason why Clef hasn't recommended his termination or revealed his true nature. Of course, since there's no canon, the validity of this story is up to you. |
| 779 | * TheOmnipotent: He's described as having apparent omnipotence. |
| 780 | * TheOmniscient: SCP-343 seems to have a knowledge of all topics, allowing him to speak with anyone about anything. |
| 781 | * RealityWarper: Though he prefers the term "[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/games-reality-benders-play Shaper]]." |
| 782 | * RuleOfSeven: He's SCP-343, which is 7 cubed. 7 x 7 x 7 is practically the divine version of [[NumberOfTheBeast 666]]. |
| 783 | * SealedGoodInACan: Subverted. Any attempts to seal SCP-343 are basically futile, and he's only there because he ''wants'' to be. [[AmbiguouslyEvil Also, the "good" part is debatable.]] |
| 784 | * SophisticatedAsHell: In SCP-6666, after realizing that Cain told the Foundation who he is, he has some choice words directed at the first son of Adam. |
| 785 | -->'''343:''' God dammit, ''Cain''. Cain the Wanderer. Plainswalker. Bastard. |
| 786 | * SuperPowerLottery: He's an apparently [[TheOmnipotent omnipotent]] man who is god. Or at least, a RealityWarper that claims to be god. |
| 787 | * {{Troll}}: Though generally benign, he did once delete a doctor's orders just to annoy him. |

| 810 | '''SCP-423''', referred to as "'''Fred'''", is an entity with no physical form. He is able to insert himself inside textual narratives, taking the role of a similarly-named character whose role in the story is usually minor. Fred is able to move from one narrative to another completely voluntarily, provided the two works are within 1 meter of each other, though he can't enter narratives which are purely visual in nature or housed in electronic storage. When not inside a narrative, Fred is normally contained in a journal, where Foundation staff are free to interview him. Fred also demonstrates a strong sense of morality and compassion, and often assists the Foundation with containing other metafictional entities. |

| 817 | * CoconutSuperpowers: In a weird case of this, Fred can only edit the text in a story, so when he was sent into an old issue of ''ComicBook/XMen'', he took the form of a mutant whose powers, coincidentally, happened to make him invisible and inaudible. |
| 818 | * GenderBender: In one case, the Foundation decided to force Fred as a main character by writing a story in a fantasy world where all people were female except for a legendary hero drawn from another world. The only change Fred made was that one of a queen's servants was now named [[LazilyGenderFlippedName Frederica]]. |
| 819 | * HerCodeNameWasMarySue: Averted; due to his apparent desire to simply witness literary events in person, Fred typically casts himself as a minor character, and in some cases writes himself out of the story's main drama (such as in ''Theatre/TwelveAngryMen'', where he is a guard "disappointed to be excluded from the jurors' deliberations"). Though he did rewrite an experiment log to describe himself as "ruggedly handsome." |
| 820 | * HeroicNeutral: Fred generally avoids making himself the central focus of a story, but he is invariably on the same side as sympathetic and heroic characters. There are two times where Fred directly intervenes with text to change its outcome: he modifies a Foundation document to free D-Classes scheduled for termination, and he alters ''Literature/TheMonk'' to stop [[spoiler:Ambrosio's attempted rape, causing Ambrosio to be arrested and given a life sentence]]. Fred notes the latter is [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness uncharacteristic of him]], but that he couldn't just stand back and watch it happen. |
| 821 | * IntrepidFictioneer: He has the ability to travel between works of fiction. |
| 822 | * MediumAwareness: He is fully aware that he exists only in text form. Interestingly, this does not extend to mediums outside of literature; he perceives song lyrics the same as poems, and a movie script as a strangely-formatted novel. |
| 823 | * MightAsWellNotBeInPrisonAtAll: He's managed to make appearances in at least two other SCP files, meaning he's not exactly all that well contained. [[spoiler:The second of the appearances, in SCP-3143, actually reveals that the Foundation has lost track of him.]] |
| 824 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Sorta. Fred suddenly gains any powers that'd be considered "normal" for him to be a minor character in a story, and only in that story. If he's in ''Literature/HarryPotter'', for instance, he becomes a wizard, and in a story with talking animals, he becomes one of the animals. |
| 825 | * NiceGuy: Fred is polite, courteous, resists temptation, and criticizes the Foundation for its WeHaveReserves attitude toward D-Classes. [[invoked]] |
| 826 | * NoodleIncident: When exposed to ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', he modifies strips discussing the TropeNamer to have Calvin mention that a student named Fred witnessed the Noodle Incident. To the great disappointment of the researchers, he can't remember what happened during the incident. |
| 827 | * OhNoNotAgain: His reaction to ''Literature/AtlantaNights''[[note]]a deliberately badly-written book meant to expose the publishing company [=PublishAmerica=] as a vanity press[[/note]] is "You bastards. I'm not going back in there, you can't make me." Given the book already has a minor character called Frederick [[note]]named after the city of the VanityPublishing company targeted by the authors[[/note]] it ends up intriguing the Foundation. |
| 828 | * OneSteveLimit: This is {{averted|trope}} if Fred's inserted into a story that already has a character named Fred, such as ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince,'' as he will still be called Fred despite multiple characters now having that same name. |
| 829 | * RealityBreakingParadox: An evident risk the Foundation is intent on avoiding. Not only is any attempt to cross 423 with any SCP that exhibits literary manipulation or effects not even considered, but even a proposal to have him enter a perfectly normal book involving a character who can, themselves, enter works of fiction was summarily rejected. That being said, SCP-4028 implies Fred is hardy enough to shrug off their effects (seeing as how he refuses to take [[OmnicidalManiac SCP-2747]] seriously), and he ends up being exposed to Murphy Law's pataphysical effects long enough [[spoiler:to run off from the Foundation's custody and start a new life, with neither party worse for wear]]. |
| 830 | * SelfInsertFic: He's a sapient character that automatically adjusts all stories he "enters" to have him featured in some fashion or another, so every story he's been in technically counts as one. |
| 831 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: He does not handle it well when he's told about SCP-4028, pointing out that Don Quixote is the ''original'' meta-fictional character. Although he eventually agrees to talk to him, he warns the Foundation that he won't be held responsible if it goes south. [[spoiler:When he dives back into his journal, he's freaking out and warns his handler that all he accomplished was letting Quixote know the Foundation exists.]] |

| 835 | !![[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-507 SCP-507]] - Reluctant Dimension Hopper |
| 836 | ->'''Author:''' [=PennywiseTheClown=]\ |
| 837 | '''Posted:''' October 3rd, 2008 |
| 838 | '''SCP-507''' is a Caucasian man with blond hair and green eyes known by many names, ranging from '''Steve''' to '''Grabnok the Destroyer'''. He has the ability to teleport to alternate dimensions completely at random, and notes that he has no control over his ability, as well as where he ends up and how long he stays there. His ability makes him borderline impossible to contain, and he will take anyone making physical contact with him to an alternate reality as he shifts, so the Foundation has advised their staff not to touch him and just let him go where he will. |
| 839 | |
| 840 | A list of his appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/grabnok here]]. |
| 841 | ----- |
| 842 | * TheAce: Hilariously, he often arrives in realities with an SCP equivalent to his own. In one, he actually became a very valuable field agent in about three months. Upon arriving back to his reality, he details several SCP's that haven't been contained by his reality yet and they are found and captured. He then requests to join his own reality's field team, which is, of course, denied. It's probably for the best given his unpredictable shifting (which could occur in the middle of a mission). |
| 843 | * ActionSurvivor: The man has been in several realities with near-fatal conditions. He survives everything these worlds throw at him, including fighting a polar bear bare-handed for a moment or two. |
| 844 | * AliensSpeakingEnglish: The denizens of the dimensions he visits usually speak English even if they don't resemble humans. |
| 845 | * AnArmAndALeg: Lost his left hand to an EvilChef and wears a prosthetic. |
| 846 | * BinarySuns: He once went to a world with two suns but realized they were the eyes of a giant when it turned away. 507 spent the rest of his time on that world hiding in a cave. |
| 847 | * CloudCuckoolander: He's clearly a bit touched in the head, especially because his powers make him suffer. |
| 848 | * CosmicPlaything: His "ability" naturally leads him getting put through the wringer, through no fault of his own or anyone else. |
| 849 | * DimensionalTraveler: Not that he wanted to become one, because he cannot control his dimension travels at all. Besides, many of the dimensions he travels to are really dangerous and/or weird. |
| 850 | * EnsignNewbie: SCP-507's displacements to other societies have occasionally put him in situations that led him to gaining positions of political power, whether being the OlderAndWiser [[TheMentor mentor]] to [[WeAreAsMayflies day-long living humans]], or a District Representative of Massachusetts following an [[TheCoup SCP-507 revolution]]. |
| 851 | * EldritchLocation: He usually ends up in these types of places. |
| 852 | * EscapeArtist: Because of his spatial displacements, there's no guarantee he'll blink back into a cell he's put into, so became a troublesome inmate at a BedlamHouse when he tried to use this to his advantage. Also works the other way, as by chance his returns have saved him from many tight pinches during his travels. |
| 853 | * ExtremeDoormat: The reason he's given so much freedom by the Foundation is because he's completely obedient to their will. |
| 854 | * TheFatEpisode: Already on the hefty side, SCP-507 has had some troubles with his weight following some of his travels. |
| 855 | ** [=3JT-3MD-DIG=]: Was [[AlienAbduction abducted by giants]] that tubefed him an [[NutritionalNightmare unidentified fluid]] that caused him gain kilos upon kilos, so much that upon his return, [[NothingButSkinAndBones SCP-364]] was used to save his life. Lost his appetite for pudding after that. |
| 856 | ** [=3G8-14H-9UX=]: The Foundation of this dimension provided SCP-507 with [[FoodChains unidentified meats]] for compliance, and SCP-507 gained fifteen pounds by his return home (not including [[AnArmAndALeg what he lost]]). |
| 857 | ** [=CDY-745-924=]: Found himself in a SugarBowl he described as [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory "Willy Wonka's factory]] but on steroids." This time, SCP-507 only gained fifteen pounds by his return. |
| 858 | * FatteningTheVictim: {{Implied}} when SCP-507 visited Universe [=3G8-14H-9UX=], where the Foundation staff had large canine teeth and ate meat he found highly addictive. SCP-507 gained thirty pounds during his month and a half in the dimension, which he narrowly returned from alive when the site's chef cleaved off his left hand. |
| 859 | * FishOutOfWater: He goes in blind for whatever bizarre dimension he ends ups in, and only has some sort of advantage if he has been to that dimension before. |
| 860 | * GenderBender: SCP-507 once visited Universe [=J75-R63-3TF=], were everyone was the opposite gender, not excluding his counterpart. The male SCP-507 was mildly perturbed that he didn't look that different as a woman. |
| 861 | * HiddenDepths: Despite the unimaginable horrors he sees every day, his greatest desire according to SCP-978 is to become a Foundation researcher, implying that a genuine interest in studying the worlds he shifts into (as well as admiration for the Foundation itself). |
| 862 | * IHaveManyNames: He'll respond to the names "Tommy", "Steve", "Bruto", "Guy", "Houdini", and "Grabnok the Destroyer". |
| 863 | * JapanTakesOverTheWorld: Within the AlternateHistory of the 12N-U677-22F universe, which has another version of the modern West. SCP-507 learns that Japanese sailors had found a means of reaching North America in the 14th century; by exploiting the continent's resources, Japan eventually attained global hegemony amid warfare with major European powers. |
| 864 | * KlingonPromotion: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/document-507-3b Document 507-3B]] is a list of the {{Alternate Universe}}s SCP-507 has been to while in Foundation custody. In universe [=7F2-WA3-193=], U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by his Vice President in order to assume the Presidency. Over time this became a standard procedure in which any qualified candidate could become President by assassinating the current President. [[OneDegreeOfSeparation It seems that SCP-507-B hails from this reality.]] |
| 865 | * LovableCoward: The attached document implies that he's quite cowardly, but can you blame the poor guy? |
| 866 | * MirrorUniverse: One of the universes he wound up in had a "Church of the ''Mending'' God" and a version of the [[VanHelsingHateCrimes Global Occult Coalition]] that worshiped the supernatural. |
| 867 | * {{Mundanger}}: Not every threat upon his life is paranormal. {{Lampshaded}} in the approval of SCP-507's request for better self-defense weapons after a close encounter with a [[BearsAreBadNews polar bear]]. |
| 868 | --> Losing subject to a non-anomalous polar bear would be a waste of Foundation resources and an embarrassment. |
| 869 | * NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/interview-507-g Interview 507-G]] documents an aversion, with a twist ending. He also met another version of himself during one of his shifts as well. As well as a female version of himself in a universe where everyone is the opposite sex. [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] with Universe [=773-URC-332=], where thousands of SCP-507 have overthrown the US government and instated the People's Dimension-Hopper Republic. |
| 870 | * PowerIncontinence: Has absolutely no control over his "shifts" and when they occur. They can even occur while he is sleeping or in mid-sentence. |
| 871 | * ProperlyParanoid: When two of him show up at the same time, they refuse to reveal which is from a different reality so that the Foundation won't dissect the spare. [[spoiler:When one teleports, the other accidentally lets slip a detail that ID's ''both'' of them as alternates. The last line of the log is a [[TheyWouldCutYouUp typical clinical research log indicating that 507's powers do still apply to "severed limbs".]] The original 507 reappears a few days later, [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain and is never informed about the events.]]]] |
| 872 | * RandomTransportation: He has no control over when the shifts happen and where they take him to. There is a reason he is called the "reluctant" dimension hopper. |
| 873 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: Although he can't control his power, he always ends up on worlds where he can survive. Never appearing in mid-air, inside a solid object or outer space et cetera and he always comes back before he can be killed. This suggests that his anomaly comes with at least ''some'' safeguards. |
| 874 | * TheReveal: [[spoiler:In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5775 SCP-5775]], Junior Researcher Thomas Yaltz reveals himself to be SCP-507. Yaltz uses this revelation to convince his surviving expedition members to return to Earth while he and his handler HoldTheLine, as he and Agent Troy will return to Earth after his next displacement.]] |
| 875 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: He has no outstanding physical characteristics outside of being slightly overweight and an unknown accent. |
| 876 | * RunningGag: Pudding. The guy's encounters caused him to have a small sub-plot regarding pudding. |
| 877 | ** He first adopts a full-pudding diet for two weeks after coming back from a world where all the plants scream telepathically when eaten. |
| 878 | ** He then becomes addicted to pudding for a short while after he travels to a dimension full of [REDACTED] that appeared as pudding to him. |
| 879 | ** He then completely avoids pudding after traveling to another dimension and experiencing some [DATA EXPUNGED], causing him to return much, much fatter. |
| 880 | * SiliconBasedLife: On one of SCP-507's trips, he ended up in a dimension with living, moving crystals based on silicon. They're described as looking like crustaceans and may be connected to SCP-440, which also creates crustacean-like silicon-based life. |
| 881 | * SpotTheImposter: Multiple versions of 507 have shown up in Foundation custody at the same time, leaving agents to guess which, if either is theirs. |
| 882 | * {{Telepathy}}: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/document-507-3b Document 507-3B]] is a list of the {{Alternate Universe}}s SCP-507 has been to while in Foundation custody. In universe 9E2-66V-7HG5 he encountered plants that gave off a "telepathic scream" when eaten. |
| 883 | * ThisIsGonnaSuck: [[spoiler:After SCP-507-A blows his cover and exposes himself as hailing from a different universe, and expendable for autopsy.]] |
| 884 | -->'''507-A:''' Oh, bugger. |
| 885 | * ThoughtTheyKnewAlready: One dimension's version of the Foundation accidentally revealed information to SCP-507 because they thought he already knew. |
| 886 | * UnluckilyLucky: Paradoxically, for as many weird {{Eldritch Location}}s as SCP-507 finds himself in, he never winds up in a location where he would be mortally wounded or instantly killed, like, say, in the middle of space. He doesn't even manage to ever bring back anything dangerous with him. [[spoiler:Given what happened to SCP-507-A, this isn't a universal luxury.]] |
| 887 | * UnluckyEverydude: He's just a normal guy with the bad luck of being randomly teleported to different dimensions. |
| 888 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: |
| 889 | ** [[http://scpclassic.wikidot.com/scp-279 In a deleted SCP]], SCP-507 wound up in a game store during one of his trips. He bought a couple of booster packs of an expy of ''Magic: the Gathering'' for a couple of agents he knew. The problem was that when they used the cards, in this case, a fireball card, it set the opposite player on fire. Later, when interviewed about the game store, he said he did find it odd that the two guys playing it there were doing so in a steel cage. However, he figured that was just how they played it. |
| 890 | * WeAreAsMayflies: He once ended up in a dimension where humans live full lifespans in 24 hours. He became internationally famous due to his normal lifespan allowing him to outlive two months of generations. He even became regarded as a wise elder who was consulted on world affecting decisions. |
| 891 | * WeirdMoon: Once went to a world that had Earth floating in the sky. He asked a local alien who said it was the moon. |
| 892 | * WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: He speaks with an accent of... disputable origin. |
| 893 | * WrongfullyCommitted: Committed to an insane asylum due to the extraordinary claims of his dimensional travels. An investigation into his numerous escapes brought him to the Foundation's attention because it was found that [[CassandraTruth he wasn't delusional about it.]] |

| 898 | ->'''Author:''' [=AdminBright=]\ |
| 899 | '''Posted:''' December 4th, 2008 |
| 900 | '''SCP-590''' is '''T.J. Bright''', third son of the Bright family and Jack Bright's brother. When T.J. touches any other human, he heals all physical and mental injuries and ailments they may have, involuntarily transferring the injuries upon himself. The only benefit he receives from his ability is apparent longevity, as he has not aged since he was placed in containment. He was also one of the [=SCPs=] that his father, Adam Bright, used to attempt reviving 321, his sister Sarah, which his brother saw as a breaking point. |
| 901 | ----- |
| 902 | * TheAgeless: He looks like a 16 year old but he actually is much older. |
| 903 | * EmpathicHealer: When he touches somebody, all of their injuries and disease are transferred to him, hence his nickname "He Feels Your Pain." [[spoiler:Didn't end well for him in the long run, though.]] |
| 904 | * FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:What the Foundation (or, to be more accurate, his brother Dr. Bright) ultimately did to him after he cured his stillborn sister; he was reduced to a ManChild who was no longer able to speak and is strapped down to act as nothing more than a disease repository for the Foundation. And it gets worse; this was actually [[CruelToBeKind Dr. Bright's method of being NICE to him]], considering the mental pain of healing a stillborn infant before being turned into a ManChild.]] |
| 905 | * ItIsDehumanizing: Subverted. Even though the Foundation makes it clear that he's not to be given a proper name or be viewed as anything other than a tool, he's continuously referred to as a "he", [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness a treatment uncommon for Series I.]] |
| 906 | * KickTheDog: Pretty much everything that happens to him, [[spoiler:including ([[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-561991/the-leak#post-1643635 as the Leak Thread states]]) being forced by his own [[AbusiveParents father]] to heal his stillborn sister, SCP-321, which left him bedridden until healing by SCP-500, and, after ''that'' came, they had to reduce him to a ManChild so that his mind wouldn't have to comprehend the mental pain he went through]]. |
| 907 | * LukeIAmYourFather: He's Dr. Jack Bright's younger brother. |
| 908 | * ManChild: He was forcibly turned into one. Although he's a teenager, he now has the mind of a toddler. |
| 909 | * MiddleChildSyndrome: Is the third born of the five Bright children, and not subject to any ParentalFavoritism. |
| 910 | * OddNameOut: The SCP articles about his brother (''SCP-963 — Immortality'') and sister (''SCP-321 — Child of Man'') follow a 3:2:1 pattern, but other numbers like 421 and 842 were already taken by the time of ''SCP-590 — He Feels Your Pain'''s publication. |
| 911 | * TheProtagonist: Of DatingSim ''[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-069-j The Sisters of Cheyenne Point]]''. Things get better for him there, but, considering that it has so many bad endings, not very. |
| 912 | * RedHeadedStepChild: He has red hair and is basically a guinea pig for the Foundation's experiments at this point. |

| 916 | !![[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-610 SCP-610]] - The Flesh that Hates |
| 917 | ->'''Author:''' [=NekoChris=]\ |
| 918 | '''Posted:''' April 11th, 2009 |
| 919 | '''SCP-610''' is one of the most rampant and destructive forces encountered by the Foundation. It's an extremely contagious skin disease that will cause blemishes resembling heavy scar tissue to consume the victim completely within five hours. When infection is complete, the victim's life functions will cease for 3 minutes, after which they will restart at 2-3 times faster than a normal human. Following this, the scar tissue will start to move of its own accord, growing to a mobile creature at a rapid rate. Infected subjects are strongly hostile to any lifeform that is not infected. |
| 920 | |
| 921 | This SCP is one of the inspirations for the Sarkic Cults group of interest, but does not itself have the Sarkic tag since it was written long before they first appeared. |
| 922 | ----- |
| 923 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: A few of the research teams encounter an absolutely gigantic specimen. Said [[GiantMook specimen]] is [[TheJuggernaut responsible for most of their deaths, and is seemingly invulnerable.]] |
| 924 | * BodyHorror: The infected suffer horrifying transformations. There's a picture of it, too. |
| 925 | * CombatTentacles: "[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-610-l5 SCP-610-L5 - Manned exploration of the Site A tunnels]]." While the assault team is escaping from the underground church, a tendril emerges from the ground, grabs one of them, and flings them away. The tendril came from a SCP-610 infected creature hiding under the ground. |
| 926 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 927 | ** A virus that horribly mutates infectees. [[Film/TheThing1982 Sound familiar?]] Just that it lacks the disguising ability that would normally cause paranoia. They also seem to be similar to [[VideoGame/DeadSpace Necromorphs]] and the [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Flood]] in appearance and variations in mutations. The church-like structure the final exploration team found helps. |
| 928 | ** With the Adytum mythos, the resemblance to the Flood strengthens in some ways; 610 is just a part of a much nastier and widespread whole, with a [[TheChessmaster brilliant]], [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]], [[WickedCultured well-read]], and [[TheLongGame eternally patient]] mind at the head ala Gravemind. |
| 929 | * ExternalRetcon: Another author wrote SCP-610 into the mythos (and modern-day schemes) of Adytum and the Grand Karcist Ion's Sarkic cults, a worldwide Lovecraftian religion of fleshcrafting sorcerers. It is also confirmed that both 610 and Adytum's cults are [[FleshVersusSteel the FLESH that the Church of the Broken God despises. The loathing is mutual]]. |
| 930 | * ForcedTransformation: Not only does it turn people into instances of itself with varying mutations, but it can also turn other living creatures and even inanimate objects into instances. They also exhibit some strange uses with their powers, such as one instance seemingly tearing off some of its tendrils and using them as food. |
| 931 | * HiddenElfVillage: More like a Hidden Abomination Village. Site B is an entire ancient, hidden village completely inhabited by SCP-610 instances, and is where the Foundation discovers signs of the ReligionOfEvil. |
| 932 | * HiveMind: |
| 933 | ** Somewhat. While the different instances for the most part seem to carry some sort of link with each other, such as them shrieking when an orb-like structure they created was destroyed, even though some of the infected were in a different part of town, they also seem to exhibit individual behaviors, such as one instance randomly beating up another instance. |
| 934 | ** Retcons have made the 610 infestation in Baikal one contingent of a global (and extradimensional) whole: The Sarkic cults of Adytum. |
| 935 | * HumanResources: Every structure, weapon, and tool the contagion uses is made from flesh and/or bone taken from a victim. |
| 936 | * KillItWithFire: This is how specimens and infected subjects are terminated. Also seems to be at least partially why it hasn't spread outside of its point of origin, located in Siberia. |
| 937 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: PlagueZombie with the BodyHorror value turned up to eleven, with some heavy ReligionOfEvil elements added on top. |
| 938 | * ReligionOfEvil: The final exploration team discovers a church-like structure underground where the surrounding instances seem to be exhibiting strange, trance-like behaviors, and then another outside, complete with a village. The latter of these plays host to a cannibalistic ritual (seemingly led by a "priest" in a hooded cloak), and features a metal Ouroboros symbol. See ExternalRetcon above for how this religion was expanded on. |
| 939 | * SinisterScythe: The aforementioned hooded figure ambushed the team with a crop scythe. |
| 940 | * TimeAbyss: The aforementioned churches and other structures are centuries, if not millennia old. Since the contagion has been alive and active for centuries, ''thousands'' will have died or worse to make up their tunnel network. |
| 941 | * TheVirus: SCP-610 is a skin disease that spreads via body contact. A ''very horrible'' skin disease. |
| 942 | * ViralTransformation: SCP-610 infected will undergo some rather... [[BodyHorror unpleasant]] transformation after the disease spreads to the whole body. |
| 943 | * YouWillBeAssimilated: SCP-610 infected are openly aggressive and actively attempt to spread the disease to non-infected. |

| 952 | ->''"My apologies for the delay, finding a way out was troublesome. But not to worry, I’ve brought the tea, just as you asked. I do hope you enjoy it."'' |
| 953 | '''SCP-662''' is a small silver hand bell with no ringer. When the bell is shaken as if to ring it, a soft chime can be heard. This will result in the manifestation of '''SCP-662-1''', a well-dressed Caucasian butler of self-proclaimed British heritage who calls himself '''Mr. Deeds''', who will appear from the nearest area not within the ringer's line of sight. Mr. Deeds will address the ringer of his bell by the appropriate title and last name, and is able to bring the subject nearly anything they ask for and perform almost any task they give him. Deeds' knowledge of individuals' last names and titles, as well as the nature of his anomalous abilities, is a mystery, as he himself will purport. Mr. Deeds has shown skills in weapons handling and physical combat skills, as he can kill someone with surprising accuracy if his current ringer should ask him to do so. Mr. Deeds can also be asked by his ringer to kill ''himself'', which he accepts without question. Should Mr. Deeds die for any reason, he will return to life the next time his bell is rung, provided that his corpse is out of the ringer's range of vision. |
| 954 | ----- |
| 955 | * AffablyEvil: Whether or not he's "evil" depends on whoever's holding the bell, but he has no qualms committing the most reprehensible acts so long as his summoner requests it, always with an ire of respect and politeness. |
| 956 | * BattleButler: Well, Deeds ''is'' a butler... and you can send him to kill people. |
| 957 | * BenevolentGenie: Deeds will always try to fulfill his master's wishes as intended, and if he is incapable of doing so, will politely say so and suggest an alternative. |
| 958 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: He always obeys his summoner in the most efficient and polite way possible, regardless of whether his requested assignment is benevolent or not. |
| 959 | * DecapitationStrike: His role in SCP-5000 is to assassinate the world's leaders using any tools available. He strangely disappears after the first day, implying that he managed to kill all the major heads of state in a ''single day''. |
| 960 | * DrivenToSuicide: The rewrite of his experiment log replaced the StupidEvil method of torturing him to death in an attempt to extract information from him to the researcher requesting he kill himself. He does so gladly, saying it was a pleasure to serve Dr. Mirth for the short time he was able. |
| 961 | * EveryoneHasStandards: Deeds refuses to carry out some orders, such as preparing a human flesh sandwich. |
| 962 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: He doesn't remember exactly when he was born, but believes it wasn't in this era. He recalls seeing the Horse and Buggy, and that bicycles were just becoming a fad with the wealthy, suggesting he's from the late 19th century. |
| 963 | * GenieInABottle: Deeds, with the bell serving as his bottle. |
| 964 | * MundaneUtility: |
| 965 | ** A number of "experiments" done with this SCP amount to Dr. Mirth getting Deeds to do his own personal errands. The Council had to tell him to knock it off. |
| 966 | ** How the bell itself was found also qualifies. It came to the Foundation's attention when a petty thief was trying to ''sell it to a pawn shop''. |
| 967 | * MyMasterRightOrWrong: His loyalties to whoever holds the bell doesn't seem to make a difference to him, even if that person purposely got him killed last time he did what they asked. |
| 968 | * NamedByAdaptation: Mr. Deeds is not referred to with by an SCP designation in the original entry by Rick Revelry, but Smapti went out of their way to state he is designated SCP-662-1. |
| 969 | * NiceGuy: He's a friendly fellow who will do anything requested of him to the best of his ability, and the worst he does outside of his job is act uncomfortable when pressed on his origins or how his abilities work. |
| 970 | * OffscreenTeleportation: He needs to be unobserved to bring back items, and knows if he is being observed. If there are cameras, they simply malfunction for a minute or two, with Deeds not knowing or caring how he got the item. |
| 971 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: If he is killed, he will revive the next time the bell is rung. |
| 972 | * UnexplainedRecovery: Whenever Deeds is killed, no matter how severe his injuries, he comes right back once his corpse is out of sight and the bell is rung. |
| 973 | * AWizardDidIt: Not even Deeds himself is quite sure how he's able to do what he does. Thinking about it too much seems to distress him. |

| 979 | [[caption-width-right:350:SCP-682 shortly after escaping from containment, still recovering from acid immersion.]] |
| 980 | -->'''Author:''' Dr Gears |
| 981 | -->'''Posted:''' Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 25th, 2008) |
| 982 | ->''"...They were...disgusting..."'' |
| 983 | '''SCP-682''' is the single most infamous, rage-fueled, sociopathic, and destructive SCP in custody to date, to the point where nearly every single staff member of the Foundation fears it. It's a massive, vaguely-reptilian creature whose origins and biology are a complete mystery. The creature is extremely intelligent, and shows itself to possess a murderous hatred of all life, to the point where it will immediately attempt to destroy any and all living things within its line of sight. 682 has been observed to possess extremely high strength, speed, and reflexes, and it gains energy from anything it eats. What is truly concerning about 682 is its regenerative capabilities, having been seen moving and speaking with its body 87% destroyed. With its unrlenting fury and complete invulnerability, the Foundation does not want 682 contained, but ''destroyed as soon as possible''. Though the creature can be injured, all attempts to permanently kill it have ended in often catastrophic failure, as it can regenerate and adapt from almost anything, as well as temporarily copy the effects of other anomalies used against it. |
| 984 | |
| 985 | A list of its appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/hard-to-kill-reptile here]]. Its self-demonstrating page can be found [[SelfDemonstrating/SCPSixEightTwo here]]. |
| 986 | ----- |
| 987 | * AbsoluteXenophobe: Toward nearly all Earth life. |
| 988 | * ActuallyPrettyFunny: At one point, someone tried to kill it by ''throwing a broom at its eye''. 682, apparently genuinely amused, responded by just pulling the broom out and commenting that the Foundation's "getting desperate". |
| 989 | * AdaptiveAbility: This is one of SCP-682's main features, and one of the main things that makes it so, well, hard to destroy. |
| 990 | ** Fortunately, the adaptations wear off eventually and it can always be at least ''incapacitated'' by heavy physical damage. |
| 991 | ** Unfortunately, 682's adaptive ability is so extremely powerful it basically makes him [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]]. He survives after being disintegrated into ''a small bundle of particles''. |
| 992 | ** You know 173? They put 173 in 682's chamber and shot 682's eyes. 682 then proceeded to grow ''more'' eyes. The new eyes were armored to keep them from being shot out as well. |
| 993 | * AlwaysChaoticEvil: In SCP-6001 (an alternate universe where the Foundation establishes a peaceful utopia), the closest we get to "taming" 682 is by sectioning him and his kind (a genus called "Immortigon") off from the rest of the world, ala ''Franchise/JurassicPark''. They're still all mindlessly aggressive and territorial despite their human-like intelligence, violently rejecting any attempt at communication. However, they do provide one comment that sheds some nuance on the matter, by describing humanity as "no longer disgusting". |
| 994 | * AmbiguousGender: It's generally assumed to be male and is sometimes referred to with he/him pronouns (whenever it's not referred to as "it" that is), but sometimes it'll be implied that 682 is actually female. SCP-053 seems to think this is the case, as her photograph from SCP-978 depicts 682 wearing a yellow, flower-patterned dress and with painted nails, though given that 053 is a child, she's presumably just guessing. 682's own status as an EldritchAbomination obviously complicates matters in this regard. |
| 995 | * AnimalisticAbomination: It looks like a reptile to human eyes, but is not even of this Earth. |
| 996 | * AnimalMotifs: An odd example, since it's already an animal-like creature — the Competitive Eschatology and SCP-6001 both separately compared a healthier, less hostile 682 to a lion, in terms of both appearance and behavior (it even grows a "mane" of feathers in the former). |
| 997 | * TheAntiChrist: The [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/new-job New Job]] article claims that 682 is the Fourth Child of the Scarlet King. |
| 998 | * ArrogantGodVsRagingMonster: Inevitably, this is the result when it battles [[PersonOfMassDestruction SCP-076]], as it's a monstrosity with an animal-like form going up against an arrogant, superpowered humanoid. Though it's downplayed because both of them are Berserkers. |
| 999 | * BaitAndSwitch: The Competitive Eschatology sets him up as Death among the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse, with Clef even lampshading how fitting and cliche that is. [[spoiler:Turns out, he's actually the Pale Horse upon which Death rides and the ''real'' Death is SCP-053]]. |
| 1000 | * BarredFromTheAfterlife: |
| 1001 | ** In a conversation with SCP-1440, he claims that death itself fears him. |
| 1002 | --> Some creatures titled me "The Behemoth That Death Forgot" - Foolish assumption. Death never forgot me - They fear me. They always did. |
| 1003 | ** In the ''Pitch Haven'' canon, he's the snake who got Adam and Eve barred from the GardenOfEden (which is also Heaven) and got kicked out himself shortly after. He asks God/SCP-343 to let him back in and God says he can't undo things once he's done them. |
| 1004 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Rather humorously inverted. The only human 682 ever spares is D-3654, and it seems this is because he enjoyed how hateful and bitter he was. |
| 1005 | %%* BerserkButton: Earth life, with rare exceptions. |
| 1006 | * BigEater: At one point, it ate several "682 specials"[[labelnote:*]]10 kg rotten meat and sharpened bone splinters, 10 L rancid mayonnaise, 1 L potassium cyanide, and 1 kg morphine hydrochloride, combined into a solid mass, then transmuted via SCP-807[[/labelnote]] during a termination attempt and only suffered a forty-five-minute heart attack after eating the first one. |
| 1007 | * BigotryException: |
| 1008 | ** SCP-053 defies 682's hatred for all life, although it could have something to do with her being a fellow abomination. |
| 1009 | ** A more egregious and puzzling example is 682 sparing D-3654, a totally unanomalous human. This is due to the D Class being a violent misanthrope just like 682. The Reptile apparently finds him an entertaining conversationalist, as a kindred spirit when it comes to hating humanity. |
| 1010 | * BoastfulRap: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/incident-682-1548 Its communication with SCP-1548.]] Which was in Morse code. |
| 1011 | * BreakoutVillain: Right up there with SCP-173 as ''the'' SCP. He serves as the series' central antagonist. |
| 1012 | * BreakTheBadass: [[spoiler:Not this version, but the one in the universe with the Shark Punching Center. They offered the reptile its freedom in exchange to it devoting its life to shark-punching. Naturally, it refused. Its refusal led the SPC to turn it into SPC-682, the "Very Punchable Shark", by exploiting its adaptive abilities and surgically altering its biology, becoming the ultimate punching bag for the SPC to practice any and every method on it. They ''succeed'' in ''breaking'' it, enough that it begged the SPC that it would punch sharks, but by that point, they have deemed it too valuable to be let go.]] |
| 1013 | * BreakThemByTalking: To BrownNote extents. SCP-682's reasoning for his misanthropy causes listeners to succumb to catatonia and self-harm. |
| 1014 | * BrownNote: The [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6820 SCP-6820]] and [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/spc-682 SPC-682]] articles and the story [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/f-o-u-r-t-e-e-n-thirteen F̶o̶u̶r̶t̶e̶e̶n̶ Thirteen]] imply that the Foundation's obsession with killing it isn't because it's dangerous (even if it is dangerous), but because it has a cognitohazard that compels people to want to kill it. The Shark Punching Center was able to overcome that simply due to their [[InsanityImmunity sheer obsession]] with punching sharks. |
| 1015 | ** In D-3654's termination log entry, SCP-682's 20-minute long explanation for why he hates humanity causes D-3654 to go into a permanent coma and drives anyone who listens to it to attempted suicide, forcing the Foundation to purge all recordings of the speech. |
| 1016 | * CallASmeerpARabbit: It only ''looks'' like a reptile. |
| 1017 | * TheCatCameBack: If there's an attempt to remove 682 instead of killing it, it ''will'' come back (whether by exchanging genie — 702 — or teleporter — 507). It is also stated in the Serpent's Hand's file on it that it cannot be permanently banished from earth and will eventually return. |
| 1018 | * ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: 682's regenerative powers seem to be memory-based, rather than biological. When the Foundation heavily sedates 682 with amnesiatics straight from SCP-3000 itself, he ''forgets'' his immunity to acid and screams in pain as he has 70% of his mass dissolved, before adapting and regenerating from scratch. This is further evidence that 682 transcends hard science and his anomalous qualities are likely more memetic in nature. |
| 1019 | * ClusterFBomb: He's capable of human speech, although much of it is quite angry and profane. |
| 1020 | * CompleteImmortality: As far as anyone can tell. Absolutely nothing that's been thrown at 682 has managed to put it in the ground, and certainly not for lack of trying. |
| 1021 | * CreepyMonotone: In the audio version of its interview, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv8VlHf0iuw it speaks in a scary, almost robotic sounding voice]]. |
| 1022 | * CruelMercy: In a timeline where humanity was [[spoiler:wiped out by SCP-3519]], 682 saves SoleSurvivor O5-6 from SCP-2490, giving him a cutting piece of snark as he leaves: |
| 1023 | --> '''SCP-682''': ''We are alike now, meat. [[KickTheDog Killing you would only end suffering.]]'' |
| 1024 | * DeathByIrony: SCP-682 wants to kill all life on Earth. [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2935 SCP-2935]] did the job - unfortunately for 682, it is finally dead as well, as 2935 killed ''everything'' on the planet Earth. |
| 1025 | * DeathSeeker: Possibly. When 2599 was in the process of killing SCP-682, SCP-682 said "KILL ME, YOU SACK OF ORGANS, DO IT". However, it's also plausible [[FlawExploitation that it was just trying to confuse her; given that 2599 is only capable of carrying out orders halfway and "kill me" took precedence over her previous order to "attack [682] until it is 200% dead"]], 2599 let 682 go immediately. |
| 1026 | ** This is also contradicted by the FreakOut he had upon learning about his alternate self's death in the universe wiped out by SCP-2935 and his subsequent gratitude towards the Foundation agent who sacrificed himself so it wouldn't enter their reality. |
| 1027 | * DemBones: In [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/59/90/ab59909b283d1c6b2c60177ad9d27b46.jpg one of its designs]], it has a skeletal face, protruding spine, and exposed ribcage. |
| 1028 | * TheDogBitesBack: One backstory is that it used to be a small and adorable lizard creature that came to hate humanity as a result of being severely abused by the man who bought it as a pet. |
| 1029 | * DragonsAreDemonic: It's a dragonlike monstrosity, has been referred to as "the Dragon" or "the Last Dragon" in various SCP tales, and is one of the most evil and dangerous entities in containment to the point that some accounts suggest that it may be {{Satan}}. |
| 1030 | * DragonsAreDivine: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, its true form as the Pale Horse invokes this, complete with a pair of vibrant feathered wings. Notably, it's less malicious in this form, even apologizing to Dr. Clef. |
| 1031 | * TheDreaded: Two 939 instances don't even bother defending themselves from 682, instead just immediately shrieking in distress as if they instinctively recognize him. |
| 1032 | * EldritchAbomination: |
| 1033 | ** When brought in to terminate 682, SCP-343 — who is thought to be ''{{God}}'' — refused, remarking, "He's not one of mine. Deal with him yourself." Hoo boy. Made all the more explicit by the fact that the two can neither see nor interact with each other. |
| 1034 | ** Made explicit after several tests with other [=SCP=]s which cast doubts on whether SCP-682 is ''either'' alive or dead. One of the scientists commented that this is the point where people start getting offered as sacrifices. |
| 1035 | ** Interestingly, 682 seems to see humanity as a bunch of abominations, hence why it's always trying to destroy everything. |
| 1036 | ** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/new-job New Job]] claims that 682 is one of the Leviathans, seven abominations who are the children of the Scarlet King who are destined to help him destroy the multiverse. He is stated to be the Scarlet King's fourth child and apparently the ''weakest of his siblings''. |
| 1037 | ** The Competitive Eschatology canon suggests that 682 is the Pale Horse that the [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse Horseman of Death]] will ride when the Apocalypse comes. |
| 1038 | ** The termination log with SCP-023 reveals that 682 is somehow immediate family with Epsilon Serpentis, a ''star''. |
| 1039 | ** Straight from the mouth of [=DrGears=] himself: |
| 1040 | -->"SCP-682 is not, in any way, a biological entity as we understand biology. Not at all. No. It is a…thing, which has somehow formed a "shell" or "growth" that we have numbered SCP-682. What it is, I have no idea, but I doubt it normally has a form we would call "corporeal". Anything dealing with normal biological processes does not count with 682. Hurting it is like shaving the hair off a human: annoying, but not deadly. Time, space, and states of matter must function ''very'' differently where ever this thing is from, and it is functioning on those rules, not ours ...It's a cheating bastard at reality." |
| 1041 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Yes, really. The Foundation tried terminating 682 with SCP-023, a dog that'll either kill you or a close relative of yours if you make eye-contact with it. When 682 met 023, the star Epsilon Serpentis went supernova, and when 682 was informed of this, he entered a state of depression for weeks. |
| 1042 | * EvilCounterpart: To [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1364 SCP-1364]]: 682 is an unidentifiable "reptile" that adapts to survive and hates everything while 1364 is an anteater that, despite being harmed by ''bright lights'', still wants a hug. 682 has even acknowledged them as counterparts. |
| 1043 | -->"The Yin to go with my Yang. Or am I the Yin? I'll never fully understand your disgusting figures of speech. But let me save you the trouble. Killing that thing won't do anything to me." |
| 1044 | * EvilSoundsDeep: In an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gskdy4RE6bU alternate version]] of its interview. |
| 1045 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: SCP-682 really ''is'' a Hard-To-Destroy Reptile. Although the picture originally used in the article was of "The Moscow Monster", which was really just the corpse of a beluga whale. |
| 1046 | * {{Expy}}: AdaptiveAbility, HealingFactor, [[NighInvulnerability extremely difficult to kill]], and [[OmnicidalManiac tries to kill everything around it]]? SCP-682 is basically a more reptilian version of [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Doomsday]]. |
| 1047 | * ExtremeOmnivore: It gains energy from anything it ingests, even the acid used to contain it. |
| 1048 | * TheExtremistWasRight: In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5000 SCP-5000]]. After discovering a horrible secret regarding [[spoiler:the truth behind humanity's collective unconscious, the Foundation ends up agreeing with SCP-682 that there is something ''inherently wrong'' with humanity... and deciding that eradicating humanity is the only logical step to spare them from this fate.]] |
| 1049 | --> '''SCP-682''': You almost understood. |
| 1050 | * ExtremophileLifeforms: Implied. When the Foundation tried killing it by putting it in a vacuum, 682 adapted by excreting a strange gas, which seemed to be an attempt at recreating its natural atmosphere. Upon analyzing a sample of this alien air, Dr. Carlson commented "No wonder this thing's so durable if that's what its native atmosphere is like." |
| 1051 | * FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Any attempts to kill SCP-682 are met with failure and will always end in failure. Doing otherwise would defeat the point of SCP-682. There is in fact one proven way to definitely and permanently kill 682, and that is to use SCP-2935. Unfortunately, doing so would also kill all life on the planet Earth, and possibly in the rest of the universe as well. |
| 1052 | * FeatheredFiend: Its true form in the Competitive Eschatology canon is covered in feathers, some of which form a lion-like mane around its head, as well as a pair of angelic wings. Seems to overlap with FeatheredDragons. |
| 1053 | * FightingAShadow: [=DrGears=] indicates that what we call SCP-682 is simply the physical avatar of a nigh-omnipotent extradimensional entity. Of course, this is [[AllThereInTheManual out-of-universe information]] that the Foundation doesn't know, so they're [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption doomed to forever repeat useless experiments trying to kill a shadow]]. |
| 1054 | * {{Flanderization}}: Many off-site fanfics about 682 were written under the impression that PowerCopying is one of 682's main abilities. It was actually used exactly ''once'' in its test log, and was more like turning an anomaly's effects on others and away from itself. 682 never "learned" it. [[spoiler:It does gain this ability in SCP-6820, but only because that particular attempt to destroy it made it exponentially more powerful.]] |
| 1055 | * FromASingleCell: SCP-2305 once spat out a hypothetical termination attempt that ended with 682 coming back from only 0.03 milliliters of its blood remaining... and then growing to the size of Saturn. |
| 1056 | ** The closest the Foundation ever got to eliminating 682 was when they reduced it down to 173's size, then had 173 reduce it to a pulp, then burned the pulp out of existence. It seemed to have worked, with the researcher who masterminded the experiment even being scheduled to receive a medal of honor... But it turned out ''a single stain survived'' and was washed down into the sewer, from which 682 regenerated and emerged 2 weeks later. |
| 1057 | ** And in some termination logs entry, 682 even manages to regenerate from ''nothing at all'', implying his durability is more in-line with ResurrectiveImmortality than cellular regeneration. |
| 1058 | * GenericDoomsdayVillain: In a way, SCP-682 is purely a vehicle for SCP cross-test fun. Detractors of the article see 682 as lacking any sort of personality beyond "[[HumansThroughAlienEyes they are disgusting]]", and is created purely so that people can propose SCP cross-tests to try to destroy it. The fact he's basically just a reptilian version of the TropeNamer doesn't help matters. |
| 1059 | * GetOut: His response to Dr. Spanko is to simply say "Leave", which Dr. Spanko politely obliges. |
| 1060 | * GodzillaThreshold: "Special Containment Procedures: SCP-682 must be destroyed as soon as possible." While the Foundation is usually focused on containing and studying [=SCPs=] rather than destroying them, 682 is one of the few they've determined to be so dangerous that it must be killed. |
| 1061 | ** Defied in the actual termination attempts, though. While the Foundation wants 682 destroyed, they don't want to go to exceptionally extreme lengths (like nuking it, feeding it to 169, or siccing 239 on it) because if it survives and adapts (which it most probably ''will''), humanity would be all kinds of boned. |
| 1062 | * GoodThingYouCanHeal: Good for 682, bad for everyone else. The Foundation has thrown all kinds of different things at 682. None worked and 682 regenerated all its wounds. |
| 1063 | * GrandfatherClause: The Foundation's desire to see it be destroyed at all costs is a little hard to square with more modern lore that claims the Foundation eschews that kind of reckless destructiveness unless there's no other option (and 682, by many accounts, has been kept in containment for ''decades''). But that part of 682 is too iconic for it to go. Some stories have even brought up the idea that there's ''something'' about 682 that makes it inherently revulsive to humanity, far moreso than it should be. |
| 1064 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: They cut it in half with a high-powered laser. [[OhCrap Each half grew back into a full-size 682.]] Thankfully, once 682-B was incapacitated and 682-A was cornered, 682-A ate 682-B in an attempt to invoke HealThyself. |
| 1065 | * HatePlague: |
| 1066 | ** [[spoiler:The 6820 article raises the hypothesis that 682's most prominent anomalous property isn't its immortality, but the irrational, irresistible hatred it inspires. The Foundation's self-destructive obsession with killing 682 ''is'' rather out-of-character, given how 682 isn't an impending threat and not actively trying to breach containment. This would also explain its relationship with 053, who has a similar passive memetic ability.]] |
| 1067 | ** After being cross-tested with 514, he infected the personnel who observed the test with a plague that made them murderous and killed each other with improvised weapons. |
| 1068 | * HatesEveryoneEqually: It's nothing personal, ''[[PerspectiveFlip but you and your individuality are the abomination]]'' as far as The Hard To Destroy Lizard is concerned [[TheAssimilator and you must be dealt with accordingly]]. |
| 1069 | * HealingFactor: One of its most notable abilities; it can recover from any harm inflicted on it. |
| 1070 | * HeCleansUpNicely: |
| 1071 | ** In the SCP-6001 scenario, the SCP-682 species is seen in its natural state: dinosaur-like majestic beasts with colorful scales, healthy complexions, and lush coats. It puts into perspective that 682 is as representative of its species as a rabid, tortured, rotten zombie would be of humanity. |
| 1072 | ** Its true form in the Competitive Eschatology is a divine, draconic creature covered in beautiful feathers and with large, angelic wings. |
| 1073 | * HeelFaceTurn: In the Competitive Eschatology, it ceases its hostility when Yahweh brings it back into His favor and revives it as the Pale Horse. At one point, it even apologizes to Dr. Clef for causing him and the Foundation so much grief, as well as [[ApologeticAttacker pre-emptively apologizing]] for all the destruction that will follow as it's reunited with [[TheGrimReaper its rider]]. |
| 1074 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: In the Shark Punching Center AlternateUniverse, they discover that [[spoiler:while its AdaptiveAbility makes it near impossible to kill, it can also be manipulated via external stimuli to be turned to their own purposes. After a bit of surgery and dumping it into salt water, they managed to turn it into a shark]]. It is implied that the only thing preventing the Foundation from doing the same thing is the fact that they are so obsessed with killing it that they are overlooking better ways of containing it. |
| 1075 | * HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, he is the Pale Horse from the Book of Revelation. SCP-053 is his rider, Death. |
| 1076 | * HumansThroughAlienEyes: According to [[invoked]]WordOfGod, it's not evil, it's just that everything alive in our world (except [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-053 SCP-053]]) is so horribly, gut-wrenchingly ''disgusting'' and ''wrong'' that SCP-682 can't help reacting by trying to make us all ''stop existing'' ASAP. [[spoiler:It also didn't try to kill Dr. Clef, most likely because Clef's "face cycling" ability made 682 perceive him as something else.]] |
| 1077 | -->'''[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/interviewing-icons-dr-gears Dr Gears]]:''' Imagine being dropped into a world where the very sky ached to look at, where every sound raked like a power sander across teeth, where life seemed specially bred to mock and torture your every sense. That's what 682 feels. It's not so much angry as horrified, which can show as anger, like finding half a roach in your sandwich. It kills for the same reason you smash an offending bug. Now, just imagine if the air was physically made of house centipedes, and you start to get the picture. |
| 1078 | * ImmuneToFate: The Foundation tries rewriting 682's existence with SCP-2140. He {{No Sell}}s it, stating simply, "It won't work. Unlike you dancing shadows, my past was real and cannot be re-written, as much as I wish it were." |
| 1079 | * InbredAndEvil: According to some Foundation lore, it is the child of the Scarlet King and his fourth daughter, A’zieb, the Fourth Scarlet Bride. |
| 1080 | * InfernalRetaliation: The Foundation once attempted to [[HurlItIntoTheSun launch SCP-682 into the sun]] with a very large cannon. It came back on fire. It also had wings that [[FeatherFlechettes launched razor-sharp feathers]]. Of course, this was only mentioned in the joke [=SCP=] entry for said [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1543-j very large cannon]], so it's not canon by virtue of the 1543-J not existing within SCP canon (nebulous and ill-defined as it is). [[{{Pun}} Just cannon.]] |
| 1081 | * IronButtMonkey: The attempts made by the Foundation to kill 682 are almost too numerous to list. However, 682's ability to adapt and recover mean that it's not fazed by any of them, and often retaliates in kind. |
| 1082 | * ItCanThink: It's the single aspect of the Hard to Destroy Reptile that the Foundation hates and fears most. 682 is very, ''very'' intelligent and ''wants'' to destroy us all. It didn't take long for O5 personnel to catch on, and issue orders to have this monster not studied, ''but terminated'' as soon as possible. |
| 1083 | * JokerImmunity: Pretty much the entire point of 682's existence. The Foundation, whose policy is usually "'Secure, Contain, Protect', not 'Destroy, Destroy, Destroy'", has attempted to destroy the lizard too many times to count, but its abilities mean that they're always doomed to fail. |
| 1084 | * TheJuggernaut: SCP-682 is nigh-unstoppable. It has breached containment six times and resulted in the deaths of dozens of Foundation personnel, and that's ''without'' counting all the times it breached containment after failed termination attempts. |
| 1085 | * JustEatHim: |
| 1086 | ** Its preferred method of disposing with us, since dead humans are just as offensive to it as the living. |
| 1087 | ** The foundation once tried to kill him by making hamburgers out of him. In addition to (unsurprisingly) not working, the hamburgers tasted terrible. |
| 1088 | * KillerRabbit: There was an attempt to retcon it into a harmless regular cat through RealityWarping. It didn't prove to be any less dangerous. |
| 1089 | * LaserGuidedKarma: The fate of SCP-682 in [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/roget-s-proposal Roget's Proposal]]. It is imprisoned within SCP-296 which, in this incarnation, is composed of every staff member and Task Force agent murdered by the beast. |
| 1090 | * LightEmUp: After being trapped in a dark room with SCP-173, 682 produced a light similar to an angler fish and lit up the room. |
| 1091 | * MeaningfulName: It's a reptilian monster that's extremely difficult to kill, to the point that the Foundation may not even be able to kill it at all. |
| 1092 | * MortalityGreyArea: As an EldritchAbomination who has survived things [[BeyondTheImpossible outright impossible to do so]], the Foundation suspects that 682 can't really be considered a living being. [[spoiler:SCP-6820 outright describes the concept it embodies as "the difference between life and death."]] |
| 1093 | * MultipleChoicePast: 682 has a mind-boggling number of possible origins. It might be the Serpent from the Garden of Eden (that was a disgraced demiurge), the "bastard child of Apep", the child of the Scarlet King and his fourth bride, a mutated version of Doctor Gears, the last living dragon, a prototype living superweapon, or all sorts of other things. |
| 1094 | * NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Most of its designs depict it similar to a giant lizard or a crocodilian. |
| 1095 | * NighInvulnerability: This is its main trait, due to its AdaptiveAbility and HealingFactor. Even to the most consistently fatal [=SCPs=], SCP-682 can take them on and survive, ''especially'' after the 1st contact. |
| 1096 | * NonMaliciousMonster: In a strange way, 682 is shy and somewhat nervous of anything new it encounters. Unless that something new [[BerserkButton should be a human being.]] |
| 1097 | -->'''[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-561991/the-leak Dr Gears]]:''' Whatever Clef had done that causes his head to be unrecordable seems to bugger up more than just cameras. 682 was unsure as to what in the fuck was going on. 682 isn't inherently a violent organism, as we understand the term. When not faced with unreal terror, 682 is actually somewhat cautious and shy, like many big predators. If Clef had stayed inside, 682 would have probably adapted past the “face cycling” thing, and butcher[ed] him. As it was, the big gecko was waiting to see what would happen. |
| 1098 | * NoSell: While he can be harmed or affected by most anomalies, at least until he adapts to them, he notably is completely immune to the effects of SCP-2140, an image that normally rewrites the past and personality of anyone who sees it. |
| 1099 | * NotZilla: What the Foundation is desperate to prevent, hence why it's constantly stuck in an acid bath that damages it as much as it regenerates and grows from continued exposure. |
| 1100 | * NukeEm: |
| 1101 | ** One of the proposed ways to end it was by using a 60 MT thermonuclear bomb. Ultimately decided against, because, to quote the O5 council: |
| 1102 | --->'''O5-█:''' Yes, it's a goddamn nuke, but if 682 survives and adapts we'd be boned beyond belief. |
| 1103 | ** This scenario plays out in one of the MultipleEndings for ''VideoGame/SCPContainmentBreach''. [[spoiler:It barely slows him down.]] |
| 1104 | * ObliviouslyEvil: While he ''is'' a grouch and a bit of a jerk, the way he talks implies that he thinks he's doing the world a favor by killing all those "disgusting humans". |
| 1105 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: During its fifth containment breach, the SoleSurvivor who captured it is Personnel D-221. Yes, ''[[RedShirt a D-class]]''. And no, there's no detail how he did it. |
| 1106 | * OmnicidalManiac: SCP-682 wants to destroy every living thing on the planet except for SCP-053, which is close enough. [[spoiler:Dr. Clef also doesn't seem to trigger its murder-death-kill reflex, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-561991/the-leak most likely because of whatever Clef did to make his face unrecordable]].]] |
| 1107 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: It's friendly with 053, the living HatePlague in the form of a [[NotAllowedToGrowUp perpetually young]] girl. Their interactions are surprisingly wholesome, but this just makes whatever the hell 053 is even more frightening that 682 doesn't find ''her'' disgusting. |
| 1108 | * PetTheDog: SCP-053 is so far the only living thing that 682 didn't immediately try to kill — in fact, 053 '''played''' with it. Did we mention that this is the opposite of what usually happens, given that 053's main power seems to be to make people inexplicably and violently hate her? Went into PapaWolf and EvenEvilHasLovedOnes territory when 682 attacked the personnel sent to retrieve 053, presumably believing they'd harm 053. Then again, it may have just been doing what it usually does, mauling anything in sight. |
| 1109 | * PlayAlongPrisoner: It is eventually revealed that the acid in 682's tank doesn't actually hurt it. It is actually just a warm bath to it, and it stays there as it views the acid as a break from its eternal suffering. |
| 1110 | * RealityWarper: Sort of; it's not so much that 682 can ''warp'' reality, but more like [[EldritchAbomination the laws of reality just don't apply to it]]. |
| 1111 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When talking to D-3654, 682 gives a monologue no shorter than ''20 minutes long'' explaining why exactly he hates humanity so much. It's so thoroughly articulate and convincing that it causes suicidal self-loathing in anyone who listens to it, meaning that the Foundation has unfortunately made it unavailable for reading. |
| 1112 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: While it's not any real animal, it vaguely resembles a reptilian, and is referred to as "hard-to-destroy-reptile". |
| 1113 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: When the Foundation wipes 682 out of existence with a Pattern Screamer, 682 literally ''respawns'' from scratch, proving beyond any reasonable doubt that 682's immortality far transcends biological regeneration and he's simply an unkillable universal constant. That, or the Pattern Screamer willed him back into existence for whatever reason. |
| 1114 | * RetGone: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6820 In at least one reality]], the Foundation built a machine to retroactively erase it from existence. [[spoiler:However, it managed to survive ''in'' the machine's code, since the machine needed to know what to erase. As a result, it eventually hijacked the reality-warping machine and is suggested to have erased that entire reality, save for notes which escaped into the main timeline.]] |
| 1115 | * {{Satan}}: In the Pitch Haven canon, he was the serpent in the Garden of Eden. |
| 1116 | * SophisticatedAsHell: It calls SCP-999 a "feculent little snot wad" and invites it to "[DATA EXPUNGED] and die", and generally gets pretty vicious verbally if it's restrained physically. |
| 1117 | * StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: While 682's ability to adapt and recover from anything is always in place, its "baseline" strength is historically all over the map. It's suggested that a single MTF team with proper equipment is enough to keep it down (albeit usually taking casualties in the process) when it breaches containment, and that hydrochloric acid can harm it enough to keep its regeneration in check. However, there are times when its power has shot up to ''world-ending'' levels, capable of going toe-to-toe with RealityWarper entities. This is somewhat justified by its AdaptiveAbility; some termination reports have implied that the Foundation deliberately refuses to use certain entities on it for fear that it would become ''too powerful'' upon adapting to them. |
| 1118 | * TakesOneToKillOne: It is revealed in SCP-6001 that SCP-682's species can only be killed by their own kind. |
| 1119 | * TooSpicyForYogSothoth: |
| 1120 | ** The Foundation once tried to get rid of SCP-682 not by terminating him, but by simply dumping him in SCP-3008, the infinite IKEA. ''SCP-3008 sent him back''. This is essentially the equivalent of being kicked out of Hell. |
| 1121 | ** 682 has also been on the receiving end of this trope: it was ''terrified'' of 173 and 524, and 2337 was apparently so bizarre that 682 simply told him to leave. |
| 1122 | * TrappedInAnotherWorld: It's implied to not be from our reality as [[EldritchAbomination our laws of reality don't seem to fully apply to it]], and it can't be detected by [[GodIsGood SCP-343]]. |
| 1123 | * TheUndead: Heavily implied to not be biologically "living" in the traditional sense and possibly one of these. |
| 1124 | * UndyingLoyalty: In the Competitive Eschatology, [[spoiler:it's claimed that 682 becoming docile towards 053 is because she's the Horseman of Death among the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse and he is her steed]]. |
| 1125 | * UnPerson: He was erased from Eden's records and referred to only as "[[ItIsDehumanizing it]]" as part of his punishment for giving humanity the fruit of knowledge. |
| 1126 | * UnstoppableRage: |
| 1127 | ** It's not as popular as its other traits, but SCP-682 has episodes that are hard to describe as anything else, where it seems to lose control and become even more aggressive and even harder to incapacitate than usual. |
| 1128 | ** After being exposed to SCP-999, it went into an ''utterly insane state'', unleashing a wave that caused everyone in range to enter crippling fits of laughter and proceeded to go on a rampage, all the while ''[[LaughingMad laughing maniacally]]''. |
| 1129 | * ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: It can't be safely contained, so the Foundation deems its destruction necessary. |
| 1130 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Believe it or not, 682 briefly developed this sort of relationship with D-3654. They had a 25-minute long exchange of insults, yet at no point did 682 ever try to physically attack him. It's implied that this is because 682 actually ''appreciated'' the Class-D's vulgar hatred, and this is the closest thing to a pleasant conversation 682 has ever had with a living being. |
| 1131 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: |
| 1132 | ** SCP-173 is one of very few things that SCP-682 is completely terrified of. One story reveals that this is because SCP-173 was a Hitler-like figure in the universe SCP-682 came from. |
| 1133 | ** There's also [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-524 SCP-524]], the omnivorous (as in will [[ExtremeOmnivore eat everything]], including ''[[{{Autocannibalism}} itself]]'') rabbit. When put together, 524 started chewing on 682's leg, and chased 682 around the testing chamber for two minutes before 682 ran four meters up the wall and out of 524's reach. |
| 1134 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: It seems to find humans so ''wrong'' it can't help but kill them. That they are trapping, torturing, and trying to kill it isn't helping. |
| 1135 | * TheWorfEffect: |
| 1136 | ** In general, whenever things get into definitely non-canon or alternate-universe territory, one can count on 682 to die. |
| 1137 | ** They found its dead body in [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2935 SCP-2935]], because absolutely ''EVERYTHING'' is dead on that side of the portal. |
| 1138 | ** Played for laughs in [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-666-and-a-half-j SCP-666½-J]]. The diarrhea it causes drove 682 to suicide: it threw its arms in the air, yelled "Yog Sothoth take me now!", and died. |
| 1139 | * WorthyOpponent: After their Rap Duel, there have been several transmissions from SCP-1548 requesting a rematch. |
| 1140 | * WouldHurtAChild: |
| 1141 | ** Except for SCP-053. |
| 1142 | ** Another notable example is found in the Attempted Termination Logs, in which one researcher got the bright idea to start tossing ''completely normal children'' to 682, apparently out of some misplaced hope of recreating the incident with 053. Said researcher was [[EvenEvilHasStandards quickly determined to be a sadistic asshole]] and thus was [[KarmicDeath promptly tossed to 682 himself]]. |
| 1143 | * YouAreWhoYouEat: Not only are its adaptive capabilities incredible, but it has the ability to absorb whoever it devours. |

| 1149 | -->'''Posted:''' September 27th, 2012 |
| 1150 | '''SCP-845''' is a species of mustelid that is closely related to the European polecat. 845's anomalous abilities manifest when a specimen is startled, hunting, or playing, during which they can fully convert their bodies into a liquid form. Its liquid state shows limited mobility on land, but is extremely mobile underwater, capable of forming itself into complex hydrodynamic structures. Specimens are known to sometimes enter the canteens of campers, and if a human attempts to consume it, it will either attempt to retract itself from the subject's mouth, or force the subject to consume it entirety. Upon being deposited into the stomach, the specimen will re-solidify and initiate burrowing in an attempt to escape. The subject will experience severe internal bleeding and acute peritonitis as the specimen tears through the abdominal cavity. Upon successfully breaching the surface of the skin, the specimen will enter a liquid state and exit through the wound, before re-solidifying and returning to its habitat. |
| 1151 | ----- |
| 1152 | * ChestBurster: If SCP-845 is swallowed while in liquid form, it will change back into its animal form in the victim's stomach and burrow its way out of the victim's body through the abdomen. |
| 1153 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: SCP-845 is a polecat that can change into a light brown liquid similar to water. |

| 1163 | '''SCP-846''', better known as "'''Robo-Dude™'''", is a small plastic toy robot manufactured by Dr. Wondertainment. Robo-Dude may be operated via a small remote control featuring an "On/Off" button, a "Speak" button, and a small microphone. Robo-Dude claims that it possesses 350 "Robo-Accessories™" within a cavity in its chest. Some of these accessories include a "Fire Drill" (a flamethrower), an "Energy Laser" (a weapon reminiscent of a pistol), a "Boom Ray" (a rocket launcher), and a "Melt-o-Tron 5000" (an acid sprayer), among others. It also has a penchant for dancing its "ROBO-DANCE", which it will perform at random. |
| 1164 | ----- |
| 1165 | * AcidAttack: One of its weapons is an acid sprayer called the "Melt-o-Tron 5000." |
| 1166 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: "DO NOT INTIMIDATE ROBO-DUDE." This thing may look like a typical goofy toy, but watch out, it can and will murder you with its weapons if it has the chance. |
| 1167 | * DanceSensation: Its "ROBO-DANCE", which it will perform without being asked. |
| 1168 | * FireBreathingWeapon: Its "Fire Drill", which is essentially a flamethrower. |
| 1169 | * HappyFunBall: "DO NOT INTIMIDATE ROBO-DUDE." |
| 1170 | * HyperspaceArsenal: It's only 20 centimeters/7.8 inches tall, but its body contains enough space to store 350 different "Robo-Accessories™." According to itself, it can do this due to being equipped with something called "Interior Shift." |
| 1171 | * KillerRobot: An example that's meant to be a ''[[MyLittlePanzer toy]]''. |
| 1172 | * MyLittlePanzer: It's a children's toy armed with numerous weapons. And they all work! |
| 1173 | * NoIndoorVoice: It always speaks in ALL CAPS, presumably meant to simulate a robotic voice. |
| 1174 | * NukeEm: Presumably what its "Atomic Grenade" is. Understandably, the Foundation didn't try to test it. |

| 1182 | [[caption-width-right:350:One of the least complex sections of SCP-914 in a non-active state.]] |
| 1183 | -->'''Author:''' Dr Gears |
| 1184 | -->'''Posted:''' Prior to Wikidot migration (fl. July 26th, 2008) |
| 1185 | '''SCP-914''' is an immense clockwork device weighing several tons and covering an area of eighteen square meters, consisting of over eight million moving parts, including screw drives, belts, pulleys, gears, springs, and other clockwork mechanisms comprised of tin and copper. Two large booths are connected to the main body of 914, labeled "Intake" and "Output". Between them is a copper panel with a large knob with a small arrow attached. The words "Rough", "Coarse", "1:1", "Fine", and "Very Fine" are positioned at different points around the knob. When an object is placed in the Intake booth, a door slides shut and a small bell sounds. If the knob is turned to any position, 914 will "refine" the object in the booth. The process takes between five and ten minutes, depending on the size of the object being refined. The "quality" of the refining is dictated by the setting the knob between the two booths is pointed at. "Rough" and "Coarse" will degrade the object to base materials, "Fine" and "Very Fine" will amplify or upgrade the object, and "1:1" will replace the object with a different object of equal worth or quality. Extensive testing and interaction with other [=SCPs=] objects has revealed that 914 is sapient and [[ItCanThink has a personality]]. |
| 1186 | ----- |
| 1187 | * AmplifierArtifact: |
| 1188 | ** When on Fine or Very Fine. For instance, a CD became a flash drive, and a printed copy of ''Art/TheMonaLisa'' results in a version painted on either canvas (Fine) or wood (Very Fine, as that is the material of the original). Notably, the Very Fine Mona Lisa is completely indistinguishable from the original, even appearing as though aged five centuries. |
| 1189 | ** When used on phones that have SCP-1471 installed, it gives 1471-A increasing amounts of power and control over reality - however by all appearances, 1471-A ''does not'' like this - the experiments describe it growing increasingly disconcerted and upset until it [[TheDogBitesBack pulled the Doctor forcing the tests into one of the phones]]. |
| 1190 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Several experiments have teased the possibility of controlling the machine to actually give out the expected results; however, the means of doing so are impossible to apply in practice. A Bob Ross video changed to feature the artist fiddling with 914 and obtaining perfectly viable products at the end, even if he has to regress considerably in the process and even break several pieces for parts; the problem is that several factors affecting the end result include temperature, humidity, light, and ''specific thoughts or visualizations''. At no point does Ross explain ''how'' this affects 914, merely mentioning the factors as a means to an end - and it doesn't help it's impossibly counterintuitive to begin with. Mr. Deeds is also capable, at lower settings, to produce exactly what he wants, but 914 is uncooperative and it's clear doing this is damaging it, so experimentation is discontinued before attempting this on higher settings. |
| 1191 | * AwesomenessIsVolatile: |
| 1192 | ** Items gained from the Very Fine setting have a high chance of breaking spectacularly at some point. Recursively refined items using this setting are increasingly prone to this. |
| 1193 | ** At one point, Dr. Veritas had the idea to summon Mr. Deeds to see if his abilities were conductive in controlling 914's output. While Deeds was successful in delivering somewhat expected results rather than 914's usual WildCard results, 914 seemed remarkably uncooperative and future tests were cancelled when it became obvious gaming the system this way was damaging the machine. |
| 1194 | * BigNo: When someone put a photo of SCP-882 (which 914 is terrified of) into the intake booth, it produced two pieces of paper shaped like the letters N and O. Along with a "[[BringMeMyBrownPants puddle of brown ink]]". |
| 1195 | * BioManipulation: '''Defied'''. It ''can'' do this, but the biological risks of playing with living matter are so appalling the O-5 Council have passed a blanket ban on biological experimentation with it, making it only possible in an extremely limited fashion and only with special dispensation from the Council. While this has not deterred the very occasional moron trying to play God, they are nearly always gunned down by Site security as soon as the results leave the cubbyhole. |
| 1196 | * BlackBox: Nobody's sure how the collection of gears works. |
| 1197 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: Its idea of "refinement" is very strange at times, producing items that can be impractical and outright dangerous to keep around. |
| 1198 | * BrownNote: It is fully capable of producing cognitohazardous outputs, and a distressing number of Fine and Very Fine tests result in cognitohazards of various danger levels. |
| 1199 | * ClockPunk: It's made entirely from clockwork parts. |
| 1200 | * CombinatorialExplosion: It has five quality settings, "Rough", "Coarse", "1:1", "Fine" and "Very Fine", and the results are different every time. |
| 1201 | * CrazyPrepared: After the Foundation realized the potential danger of SCP-914's output, it was moved to its own containment facility, where tests are very thoroughly monitored. An incinerator on-site is available to dispose of potential dangers, the test chamber for 914 is heavily reinforced to minimize the damage it causes, and the storage and transportation facilities allow its output to be examined, stored, and moved to other sites covertly. All of these measures have proved very necessary. |
| 1202 | * DIYDisaster: 914 does not like being asked to assemble IKEA furniture. Three tests with a flat-pack chair set resulted in the parts being assembled in a random useless configuration, a chair that was almost correctly assembled (but with the front and back legs switched and the seat damaged by someone banging on it with a hammer), and a wooden figure extremely enthusiastic about assembling IKEA products, but incapable of doing so. When another test was conducted with a bed set, 14 minutes of banging noises were heard before 914 spat out the parts in the shape of a giraffe and a set of origami throwing stars made from the instructions that fired out of the output booth at 526 km per hour. |
| 1203 | * DrivenToMadness: Not the machine itself, but if [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/clockwork-time this]] tale is to be believed it has a rather dark history of madness and horror connected to it, with several being driven to obsession through trying to unpack the secret of how it works, only to completely snap after running one test too many with horrific results. And since it appears to have a personality, and a rather trollish one at that, the only conclusion that can be reached is that it deliberately frustrates any attempt at figuring out the logic behind its creations precisely to do this... |
| 1204 | * EquivalentExchange: |
| 1205 | ** Putting something in the machine on the 1:1 setting converts it to a similar item of the same quality. For example, a tuna sandwich on white bread becomes a salmon sandwich on rye bread. |
| 1206 | ** In a more scientific take on the trope, SCP-914 won't break the laws of thermodynamics, and anything sent into it must be made of the same materials on the atomic scale once it comes out. |
| 1207 | * EveryoneHasStandards: |
| 1208 | ** Attempting to use 914 to KickTheDog generally results in the machine refusing to play along, even breaking its own rules to do so. |
| 1209 | ** When a janitor tries to use it to destroy Jeff the Mug Cat, the most 914 does (even on Very Fine) is change Jeff's fur pattern, and when a researcher tried to destroy a laptop with evidence that he was a human trafficker by putting the device in 914 on Rough results in the laptop being neatly disassembled and easy to reassemble. |
| 1210 | ** 914 ''hates'' SCP-1459, the puppy-killing arcade game. Giving it a copy of 1459's file results in suggestions of possible painful demises for the device. |
| 1211 | * FusionDance: Generally from two items on the Fine setting. Reversed with the Rough setting, which tends to turn the item back into its raw materials. |
| 1212 | * GodwinsLaw: Feeding it Mein Kampf results in a series of increasingly elaborate and creative insults at Hitler's expense, eventually culminating in a doddering and clumsy but entirely animate papier-mâché model of Hitler that the staff are encouraged to punt with no consequence. |
| 1213 | * HandCannon: A Colt Python ran through on the Very Fine setting became powerful enough to completely disintegrate anything it hit. |
| 1214 | * HarmlessVillain: |
| 1215 | ** Combining a pound of cooked bacon and a photograph of SCP-682 on Very Fine resulted in a tiny, predictably hostile version of 682 made out of bacon that escaped containment and tried to kill all staff present, but was unable to for obvious reasons. A request to classify it as SCP-682-BAC was denied. |
| 1216 | --->''Note: Very funny, Dr. Curtis. You are suspended from testing SCP-914 until further notice. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Though I have to admit, it smelled delicious.]] - Dr. Gears'' |
| 1217 | ** A ''very'' ill-advised attempt by a researcher to see if it could create a clone of [[InvincibleBoogeymen SCP-173]] instead results in 30 tiny miniature versions. They all act exactly the same as the original, but are too small to do anything but bump into people's legs. |
| 1218 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: At one point, after one too many disasters with 914, Darby got ReassignedToAntarctica and finally out of 914's hair. Then an experiment to create a cognitohazard poster resulted in everyone's memories of Darby being erased... which resulted in Darby being sent back to the 914 site. |
| 1219 | %%* InsufferableGenius: Its "personality", if it even has one, seems to resemble this. |
| 1220 | * ItAmusedMe: One theory to its purpose is that it's actually a sort of bizarre entertainment device. |
| 1221 | * ItCanThink: |
| 1222 | ** While considered most likely non-sentient by the Foundation, the testing logs indicate that 914 has at least some form of awareness. At the very least, it's smart enough to play chess. Further tests gave it a 500-800 Elo rating, meaning that while it's a good match against novices, better or more experienced players have little difficulty in winning. |
| 1223 | ** When its picture was taken by SCP-978, it showed a subtle change (showing it with a setting higher than "Very Fine"), indicating that 914 at least has ''desires''. Notably, no changes were found in numerous other non-animate [=SCPs=], indicating, at the very least, it has a higher level of awareness than a typical object. |
| 1224 | ** Perhaps more saliently, it's implied to emote in some of its testing logs, showing fear of SCP-882, frustration at trying to solve crossword puzzles and assemble IKEA furniture, marked preferences for certain researchers (and the inverse, as it constantly torments Darby), and even gets bored at an experiment that just tests teapots on 1:1 over and over again. |
| 1225 | * LiteralGenie: At times. Put a ''Videogame/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' video game cartridge on Fine, and it returns a boxed copy. |
| 1226 | * MadArtist: |
| 1227 | ** If it is truly sentient, then this is probably the best way to describe what it does. In the words of Dr. Gears: |
| 1228 | --->''"After extended time spent in research on and with SCP-914, the following proposal regarding its nature may be made with a significant degree of certainty: SCP-914 was not designed as an industrial device. Nor was it primarily a scientific device. Its primary function appears to be as a form of entertainment. After review of the recovery notes, and evaluation of the test logs, it appears that SCP-914 was designed to create the most “novel” items possible, with no regard for practicality or function."'' |
| 1229 | ** If you decide to accept [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/clockwork-time this tale]] into your headcanon, then SCP-914 certainly takes after its creator. |
| 1230 | ** Likewise for [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/reservoir-skips this tale]], where it tells the Church of the Broken God to take a hike because the Foundation lets it make stuff its owners never did. |
| 1231 | * MathematiciansAnswer: Given that at least it has something resembling awareness, the researchers have tried asking it how it works. The results have been uniformly entirely truthful, entirely useless, and slightly mocking, from a drawing of an apple that turns into an orange to a huge book whose pages appear solid black - but in reality it's full of tremendously tiny strings of heavily-coded information. |
| 1232 | * MoralityDial: When two duplicate dial panels were put in on 1:1 setting, one of the the resulting panels gave it "mood" settings ranging from Jovial, Curious, Insightful, and Malicious, which were additive to the previous settings. Testing with the alternative dials were suspended after one too many "Malicious" tests produced virulent flesh-eating microbes. |
| 1233 | * MundaneObjectAmazement: On a cosmic scale: the log of [[FutureImperfect SCP-4100]] states that, in the far future, SCP-914 is just one instance of a standard item found on most interplanetary spaceships. |
| 1234 | * MundaneUtility: |
| 1235 | ** At one point, a maintenance technician had the idea to send through a bunch of degreaser and various other chemicals used for machine maintenance, with a note saying to use it to help itself out on 1:1. The results was a bunch of used chemicals and SCP-914 running smoother for a few days. It also fell in love with said maintenance technician... |
| 1236 | ** Zigzagged; the machine itself doesn't appreciate people trying to use it for mundane tasks. When somebody tried to use it to translate some DVD sets of ''Manga/HimitsuNoAkkoChan'' into English, they got [=DVDs=] of two other magical girl animes, a series of videos on how to learn Japanese, and finally a printout of an article titled "5 Reasons No One Ever Helps You Out When You Ask for Favors (Spoiler: It's You)". |
| 1237 | * NoFairCheating: One of the very few ways the machine can be somewhat reliably controlled is by sending in Mr. Deeds with a specific command. Unfortunately, something about the arrangement is detrimental to 914, and the doctors decided to discontinue this experiment for fear of damaging it beyond repair. |
| 1238 | * NoSell: Not often, but sometimes the machine is unable/unwilling to damage in any way the item placed within. Once, a frustrated janitor tossed Intern Lunar's mug cat (an anomalous fusion between a cat and a mug), then kept trying to send it in Rough, only for the cat to remain whole and unchanged after going through 914 ''68 times''. He then had the brilliant idea of changing the setting to Very Fine. TheCatCameBack with only a slight modification to its fur. Another time, a researcher tossed a laptop at the same setting; 914 returned the entire laptop, disassembled. It turned out the researcher was guilty of human trafficking and other vile charges; it's implied the force behind SCP-3922 arranged for the incident, to ensure the Foundation dispatched an attack team and a group of paramedics to save a group of people. In one case, 914 got tired of the researchers inputting the same thing on the same setting in a row too many times and refused to change the items into anything after a certain point. |
| 1239 | * OhNoNotAgain: One of the scientists assigned to it, Dr. Nukea, managed to first piss off and then drag 914 to absolute despair with his insistence on sending in copies of ''Film/SeventeenAgain2009'' for processing — once chucking in literally thousands of copies of the movie. After one such incident too many, [[RageBreakingPoint 914 produced a plastic entity made of a bunch of copies of the movie to kill Dr. Nukea]]. However, after a while, an earlier produced machine successfully restored Nukea. The next time he dropped by for an experiment (a pen), 914 returned an empty pen with "OH GOD NO" scribbled on the walls. |
| 1240 | * PetTheDog: Although 914 likes to send out dangerous or extremely finicky creations to mess with its researchers, sometimes it'll spit out something actually useful... but ''rarely''. In one case, a technician, Johnson, sent in a bunch of cleaning supplies and a note telling 914 to give itself a fixer-upper. It spat out a lot of soot, used cleaning supplies, and a statuette of the technician which mentally influenced anyone nearby into giving him a pay raise or promotion (whichever would end up giving him more money). Notably, 914 still remembered the technician several months later and spat out an identical statuette with the same effect when a photo of him and a chunk of metal was input. A later experiment involving chocolate bunnies and clockworks produced an adorable chocolate and plastic bunny sculpture that changes anyones feelings to amusement and is strongest on him, Darby of course is unaffected and instead makes aggresive bunny noises at him. |
| 1241 | * PleaseDontLeaveMe: Its greatest fear is to be abandoned and left to rust. |
| 1242 | * PungeonMaster: 914 is capable of some absolutely awful ones, such as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} "Peak hatch who?"]]. |
| 1243 | * RageQuit: |
| 1244 | ** When presented with an unfinished crossword puzzle and set to "Very Fine", instead of transmuting the puzzle, it hurled the crumpled and still unfinished crossword puzzle from its output at high velocity and on fire. |
| 1245 | ** When a researcher attempted to play a full game of chess with it and they managed to place [=SCP=]-914 in checkmate, the chessboard was received flipped with the pieces scattered all over. |
| 1246 | * RuleThirtyFour: Has produced pornographic imagery and texts involving "Clockwork-chan" ''entirely without prompting''. On ''1:1 setting''. Yes, it came up with an anthropomorphic female version of ''itself'' and wrote/drew lewd fanfiction and fanart of itself, the most infamous example being altering its own SCP file and testing logs into what is basically a hentai fanfic of it and Maintenance Technician Johnson, resulting in [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain Dr. Veritas ordering everyone who had seen the file to take amnestics and ordering every copy of said file to be destroyed.]] |
| 1247 | * SerialEscalation: |
| 1248 | ** While tests on the Fine setting merely improve the original object, the end results of the Very Fine setting break as much physical laws as they can get away with, usually with at least one casualty. Some are nearly given their own SCP classifications (and at least one test result ''actually did'', though the input for that test was also an SCP item). Its greatest desire, as seen with [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-978-extended-test-logs SCP-978]], is to have a setting even higher than that. |
| 1249 | ** Cumulative/recursive tests go even further — Coarse breaks them down to the atomic scale, Fine/Very Fine increasingly improve them to the point of [[AwesomenessIsVolatile volatility]]. |
| 1250 | * SingleTargetSexuality: It seems to have a crush on Maintenance Technician Johnson. |
| 1251 | * SitcomArchNemesis: |
| 1252 | ** Researcher Darby; 99% of his tests end in disaster and near death. In one particularly hilarious example, a ball inserted on Very Fine proceeded to bounce around the facility looking for Darby at [[GroinAttack crotch level]]. |
| 1253 | ** To a lesser extent, it doesn't appear fond of Dr. Nukea, due to his strange fascination with ''Film/SeventeenAgain2009''. |
| 1254 | ** It seems to have a special vendetta against Researcher Calloway, repeatedly giving him various cognitohazards that only affect him, such as one that causes him to [[PottyFailure defecate on the spot]] and repeatedly bang his head against a wall. He tried to apologize to it several times or otherwise make peace with written messages, leading to it giving him conflicting replies. He for his part has also tried attacking it several times, once with a grenade [[HoistByHisOwnPetard that it promptly gave back to him]]. |
| 1255 | * SmartPeoplePlayChess: |
| 1256 | ** Putting in a chessboard at the 1:1 setting causes it to move the pieces as if it were the opposing player. |
| 1257 | --->'''Professor "Q":''' Yes, I've been playing chess with 914… Yes, I'm aware it's supposed to be non-sentient, but that hardly explains why it's winning. |
| 1258 | ** For an added EasterEgg, the move it makes in the above test is a clear attempt at a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholar%27s_mate scholar's mate]]. A later test put SCP-914's Elo at somewhere in the range of 500-800, around an average score, which means Professor Q is pretty bad at chess. |
| 1259 | * SnarkyInanimateObject: |
| 1260 | ** When Dr. Hertz put a music album in it containing recordings of songs he had written and performed himself, the resulting output was a CD with chapters from various audiobooks including [[DreadfulMusician "Learn to Sing", "Teach Yourself to Play Guitar", and "Songwriting for Dummies"]]. [[CantTakeCriticism This caused Dr. Hertz to attempt to attack the SCP.]] |
| 1261 | ** When 914 got fed up with a researcher trying to force it to translate [=DVDs=] of ''Manga/HimitsuNoAkkoChan'' into English, it printed out an article titled "5 Reasons No One Ever Helps You Out When You Ask for Favors (Spoiler: It's You)". |
| 1262 | * SturgeonsLaw: 914's experiment log is open to the public. Naturally, most of the stuff added has had to be deleted. New log posts now go through a simple quality control process before they're posted to the log itself. |
| 1263 | * TakeThat: Many from the test log, which are full of in-jokes, sly references, and [[SilentSnarker the occasional snarky output from 914.]] |
| 1264 | ** One test log on a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_7 Samsung Galaxy Note 7]], the smartphone with an infamous battery defect that led to devices catching fire or [[StuffBlowingUp exploding]], resulted in a grenade on the 1:1 setting. |
| 1265 | ** Feeding it a crossword puzzle resulted in 914 [[ItCanThink actually responding with frustrated confusion,]] and then finally ejecting the crossword at high velocity and on fire. [[NotSoDifferentRemark The attending researcher notes that he can relate.]] |
| 1266 | ** Likewise, not even 914 [[DIYDisaster can assemble IKEA furniture correctly.]] Higher levels result in a chair that is ''almost'' correct, with evidence that someone had been banging on it in frustration. Trying again on Very Fine with words of encouragement resulted in 914 creating an automaton do to it instead. Said automaton was ''also'' unable to do so. Again, the attending researcher expresses sympathy. A separate test with a different furniture set resulted in the parts being assembled in the shape of a giraffe and a set of origami throwing stars made from the instructions that shot out of the output booth at speeds of up to 526 km per hour, hitting the unfortunate researcher in multiple places, including the face and the crotch. |
| 1267 | ** Putting a Platform/{{Steam}} gift card through it on Fine results in the user being given Monopoly money. |
| 1268 | ** Entering a sheet of paper with the GOC symbol resulted in a drawing of a monkey chewing on the barrel of a loaded gun, and a sheet with Prometheus Labs' symbol resulted in a drawing of a giant setting itself on fire. |
| 1269 | ** When given a blu-ray of ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'' on the "Coarse" setting, it output a copy of ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird''. |
| 1270 | ** Entering a copy of ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' spat out a blank switch cartridge, to which the team noted that it was basically the same thing. |
| 1271 | * {{Telepathy}}: It has at least some ability to read minds. When it was given a silver ring belonging to a D-class that she claimed was a family heirloom, it produced a ring engraved with "In loving memory of" and the name of one of her deceased relatives. |
| 1272 | * TemptingFate: A RunningGag with the scientists of Facility 19-23. Personnel very often make WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong remarks and run TooDumbToLive tests (especially last-ditch efforts to see what 914 does and/or whether they could produce something useful). Predictably, things go wrong, and sometimes very quickly. Darby's continued access to 914 is another, despite his SitcomArchnemesis status with 914. |
| 1273 | * ThrowTheDogABone: It at least cares enough about its research director Lucius Veritas to understand his misery and have even the slightest idea of what makes the man happy. |
| 1274 | * {{Troll}}: It has shades of one... one of which is apparently pink. |
| 1275 | -->''I hate [=[=][[ClusterFBomb EXPLETIVES REDACTED]][=]=] pink! — Dr. Hale'' |
| 1276 | ** Once, the janitorial team begged the scientists to put a can of cleaning agent in the hopes 914 would create something useful for cleaning. The annoyed researcher, utterly confident that it would horribly backfire, agreed if the janitors would accept the consequences. Instead of the expected catastrophe, the machine created a miniature harpsichord with anomalous strings made from the cleaning agent, which has a sudsing effect on dirty surfaces whenever it's properly played. The scientist accepted that she only had herself to blame, knowing of 914's tendency to play with expectations - even if they are of the usual disaster. |
| 1277 | ** The ''other'' way to control 914's results is relying on the inherent randomness of the machine to eventually cough up the desired results. That said, given that 914 is sentient, it's not amused by the repetitive testing and will find other ways to screw with the offending researcher. |
| 1278 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: SCP-914 is terrified of SCP-882, a conglomeration of gears that consumes all metal objects it comes in contact with. When Dr. Stern put a photo of 882 into the intake booth, the first output was two pieces of paper [[BigNo shaped like the letters N and O,]] several hundred tiny scraps of paper, and [[BringMyBrownPants one small puddle of brownish ink.]] The second test produced a piece of paper with the word "NO" in 83 different languages and a series of cognitohazardous symbols that caused fear and discomfort when viewed. The ''third'' test resulted in an origami model that, when unfolded, [[ImpliedDeathThreat resembled a human body torn into four pieces.]] Dr. Stern wisely decided to [[KnowWhenToFoldEm cancel the fourth test.]] |
| 1279 | * WildCard: Infamously so. It can produce everything from the highly dangerous, [[FromBadToWorse to the uniquely anomalous ]], to things very beneficial to mankind, or [[UselessItem something completely mundane]]. You typically reap what you sow with 914 and should remain safe as long as you don't push common sense, but it does sometimes get... creative. Yet most of the things it produces are worth a look even if worthless, if you can accept the risk that you won't know if it might reduce you to atoms instead until you try. |

| 1285 | [[caption-width-right:319:SCP-953 mid-transformation. The green lights represent her tails.]] |
| 1286 | -->'''Author:''' DrClef |
| 1287 | -->'''Posted:''' October 2nd, 2008 |
| 1288 | '''SCP-953''' is a female red fox with a spine that splits into nine separate tails. The fox displays polymorphic properties, allowing it to take the form of various other objects and beings, primarily an attractive Korean woman, thus revealing her to actually be a Kumiho of Korean folklore. She will still display some vulpine aspect in all of her alternate forms, which can serve to identify her should she attempt a disguise. In addition to her polymorphic abilities, 953 displays moderate psionic abilities, such as mental suggestion and telepathy. While insufficient to fool an outside observer, an entranced subject can easily be convinced of a variety of falsehoods. She is a manipulative, sadistic, and incredibly hostile entity who is known to primarily eat human livers as a source of sustenance. She has also used her tricks to deceive police officers, convince a mother to roast and eat her own child, carry out acts of necrophilia, and systematically murder 27 attendees of a furry convention for no other reason than her own amusement. |
| 1289 | ----- |
| 1290 | * TheAgeless: [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/gumiho According to]] Website/TheWanderersLibrary, there are no recorded natural deaths for a demon fox like her, suggesting that she can only die in battle or from an unforeseen accident. |
| 1291 | * AlasPoorVillain: In "[[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/da-capo-al-fine Da Capo al Fine]]" (a Tale that is part of the Unfounded Canon Hub[[note]]a canon that posits a world where the [=SCP=] Foundation doesn't exist, and yet [[InSpiteOfANail most things still turn out the same]][[/note]]), [=SCP-953=] is eventually killed while trying to attack a furry convention and some staff members of the Wanderer's Library mourn her. When [=Sigurrós Stefánsdóttir=] asks why, they admit that while she was an AssholeVictim, they still feel sadness because she was apparently the [[LastOfHisKind Last of Her Kind]] and "it's always sad when something disappears from this world." |
| 1292 | * AllMythsAreTrue: The SoleSurvivor of the team sent to capture her only does so because he remembers the tales his grandmother told him (note the similarity between the AfterActionReport and the tale of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fox_Sister The Fox Sister]]). While a Foundation scientist ridicules the idea in favor of a more scientific approach, several escape attempts causing fatalities convince everyone concerned that this folklore needs to be taken seriously, and may well have been a crude version of Special Containment Procedures. |
| 1293 | * AndShowItToYou: When one of the agents was sleeping with her, she sadistically tore off his testicles and showed them to him before killing him. |
| 1294 | * AsianFoxSpirit: The team sent to capture her think she's the kitsune, but she isn't. Instead, she's a kumiho, which only one member of the team recognizes. It ends up saving his ass. As matter of fact, being called a kitsune serves as her BerserkButton. The Wanderer's Library specifically describes her as being part of a race of "demon foxes". |
| 1295 | * AxCrazy: She is hostile to human life and extremely dangerous. She can penetrate a person's abdomen with her hand and extract the victim's liver with surgical precision, but prefers to slowly torture her prey. |
| 1296 | * BerserkButton: Being called a kitsune. "Personnel asking what the difference is are to be reminded of the difference between a Cherokee Indian and a New Delhi Indian". And ''Mekhane help you'' if you're a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]], as she's been on record as killing 27 attendees of a furry convention. |
| 1297 | * CallAPegasusAHippogriff: Invoked InUniverse. Kitsune and kumiho are similar in appearance, but not so much behavior. The distinction is a major plot point in the capture report. The Korean agent is aware that kumihos are AlwaysChaoticEvil, which ends up saving his life. The Japanese agents, on the other hand, think of 953 as a kitsune, who may be friendly and even form a bond with a human. [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Guess how well that turns out for them.]] |
| 1298 | * CharmPerson: Has somewhat weak mind manipulation abilities, but those who fall under her sway will more or less do ''anything'' she asks. These things include roasting and cannibalizing one's own child, allowing her to perform necrophilia upon the corpse of an entranced person's fiancé in full view, and succeed in serial murder with zero repercussions, among other effects. |
| 1299 | * CunningLikeAFox: She's a nine-tailed fox spirit - a kumiho - and as such, is incredibly wily. |
| 1300 | * TheFairFolk: This is ''technically'' what a [[AsianFoxSpirit kumiho]] is, but her sheer malevolence makes the [[Myth/CelticMythology Court Unseelie]] look perfectly benign by comparison. |
| 1301 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She likes to play up a YamatoNadeshiko image. An excellent way to lure her victims into a trap. |
| 1302 | * FoulFox: SCP-953 is a sadistic, cruel, AxCrazy fox demon and one of the most actively malevolent entities contained by the Foundation. |
| 1303 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: Has glowing yellow eyes, regardless of its form. See MorphicResonance. |
| 1304 | * GodzillaThreshold: She's seen as so dangerous that the Serpent's Hand is mentioned discussing potentially better containment procedures ''with'' the [=SCP=] Foundation to prevent any further escapes. |
| 1305 | * HairTriggerTemper: Of the {{Revenge}} variety. She has a fantastic memory and remembers anyone who has caused any slight to her and tries to enact revenge on them the first chance she gets. Also the main reason some of the Foundation staff are trying to get higher security to contain her than the dog kennels listed below. It's ''very'' heavily implied that the current containment measures are nowhere near sufficient, that she knows this, and that she's just playing the game until the perfect escape and the perfect opportunity to butcher everyone in the Foundation who has ever angered her intersect. |
| 1306 | * HumanoidAbomination: Downplayed. Her human form is beautiful, but at her core, she's still a vicious seductress who can and will charm you into doing whatever she wants. |
| 1307 | * IHaveManyNames: The [=SCP-Foundation=] calls her "[=SCP-953=]", and classifies her as a "polymorphic humanoid". The Global Occult Coalition has given her the designation "[=KTE-1208-Green-Burrhus-Kewpie=]". The Wanderer's Library calls her "The Millenary Nine-tailed Fox", and has also recorded her being called "The Vixen" or "That Damned Vixen". |
| 1308 | * ILoveTheDead: Has, on at least one occasion, used the powers of CharmPerson to perform acts of necrophilia upon an agent's fiancé in full view of said agent. Whether this was out of preference or [[ForTheEvulz spite]] is unknown. |
| 1309 | * InsistentTerminology: She's not a kitsune, she's a kumiho. As noted above, the two are as different as a Cherokee Indian and a New Delhi Indian. Not only are kumihos from Korea, they are AlwaysChaoticEvil, [[OneGenderRace always female]] spirits who need to consume human hearts and livers for survival. Basically, the only similarity is that both are shapeshifting fox-spirits with illusionary powers. |
| 1310 | * LastOfHisKind: She is the only known surviving kumiho left in the modern world. She is technically survived by the Serpent's Hand member "Hu", who is a HalfHumanHybrid WhiteSheep born from a union in 1516 between [=SCP-953=] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeon_Woo-chi Woo-chi Jŏn]], the spiritual founder of the Korean chapter of the Serpent's Hand. |
| 1311 | * LiteralManeater: Violently murders a team member during sex, and it's suggested that the only survivor of the massacre has an [[AMatchMadeInStockholm unhealthy fascination for her]]. You should keep the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom away, too. |
| 1312 | * MadeOfIron: Can take gunshots from a .45 with little issue. However, it is assumed by the Foundation that she can be killed with guns anyway in an emergency. |
| 1313 | * MorphicResonance: Any form she takes has some fox-like features (ears, tail, paws, yellow glowing eyes, fur, voice, mannerisms). |
| 1314 | * MultipleTailedBeast: Has nine tails. If the Wanderer's Library is to be believed, each tail grown represents a century of life up to the ninth tail, after which no more tails are grown as the kumiho continues to survive. |
| 1315 | * NoodleIncident: The last time she escaped (which was the sixth total time she had escaped), she ended up at a furry convention where she killed more than two dozen attendees and convention staff. Apparently, something else happened to her there, because when Foundation agents arrived to recapture her, she appeared listless and apathetic, and didn't resist. She hasn't killed anyone or attempted to escape Foundation custody since then. |
| 1316 | * PickyPeopleEater: SCP-953 can reach inside a person's abdomen, extract their liver, and swallow it whole. |
| 1317 | * PsychicPowers: She has the psionic powers of suggestion and telepathy. |
| 1318 | * RedRightHand: She can disguise herself as a human, but there will always be some fox-like part of her body (such as her ears or tail) that she can't cover up. |
| 1319 | * {{Sadist}}: While her diet requires a steady supply of human livers for her continued survival, it's very clear that she enjoys bewitching people and ruining their lives for nothing more than her own personal amusement. |
| 1320 | * SealedEvilInACan: Elder Jŏn was able to imprison her in a pocket dimension ("[[http://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-159-ko Peach Blossom Land]]") from 1568 to 1795 before she eventually escaped back to Korea. She was then captured by the [=SCP=] Foundation in 1945 and has been (more or less) their prisoner ever since. It's heavily implied that she may have figured out how to escape a long time ago, and is just biding her time until she sees the perfect opportunity for the most bloody, violent, gruesome revenge she can muster. |
| 1321 | * ShapeshifterLongevity: According to the article itself, her first encounter with the Foundation was shortly after the Second World War, though supplementary materials indicate that she's been a murderous shapeshifting sadist for about fourteen hundred years by the present day... and other tales suggest that she's even ''older'' than that. |
| 1322 | * ShapeshiftingTrickster: In-between eating humans, she loves to play sick tricks on them, seemingly purely ForTheEvulz. Just one examples consists of her tricking a mother into eating her own child. Also, when a team of agents arrives to apprehend her, she mentally dominates them and feeds them meat with rice... only for the meat to turn out to be rotting human flesh along with the rice being live maggots. |
| 1323 | * {{Telepathy}}: SCP-953 uses its telepathic ability to find out what its opponents' loved ones look like. It then uses its VoluntaryShapeshifting ability to take the form of one of the loved ones. |
| 1324 | * ToServeMan: Like the mythological kumiho she resembles, she [[PickyPeopleEater has a preference for the heart and the liver]], but will eat any human flesh she can get. |
| 1325 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Aside from human livers, she seems to like plum wine enough that it's used as a 'luxury item' to use as a reward for good behavior. |
| 1326 | * TheVamp: She seemingly exploited this to bite off an agent's genitals, before showing them to him and proceeding to tear out his liver. |
| 1327 | * TimeAbyss: When she first met Elder Jŏn in 1516, she claimed to have been over 900 years as evidenced by her nine tails. In the present day, she is over 1400 years old, and is likely even older than that. Her daughter Hu even claims that her mother has slaughtered and ate countless people for ''multiple'' millenia. |
| 1328 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: SCP-953 normally has the form of a small red fox, but can take the form of objects and living creatures, including that of an attractive Korean woman. |
| 1329 | * WeaksauceWeakness: The (mostly) ImmuneToBullets murderous fox demon turns into a quivering, terrified wreck at the sight of [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes dogs.]] This is because in kumiho folklore, dogs wouldn't be fooled by the kumiho's disguise (as they'd notice [[TheNoseKnows she still smelled like a fox]]) and would chase her as if she were a normal fox. |
| 1330 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: She has a fear of dogs, so her containment procedures involve her containment chamber being lined with open-cage dog kennels. |
| 1331 | * WorfHadTheFlu: A rather worrying case is revealed in the article the Wanderer's Library has on her -- Apparently, every demon fox has a "fox's marble", what appears to be a glass bead formed from the life essence of those they've consumed that elevates their magical talent by five to ten times. Thankfully, Elder Jŏn was able to take her marble (implicitly after [[DidYouJustRomanceCthulhu seducing her]]) and consumed it, turning himself into a ''male'' demon fox before he imprisoned her in a pocket dimension for over 200 years. While she eventually escaped and is still incredibly dangerous, her magical power is now only a ''fifth'' of what it once was. |
| 1332 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Invoked at times to increase her mental hold over her victims. The after-action interview actually notes that [Agent 1] calls her this explicitly, though the data is blacked out. |
| 1333 | %%* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: To add to her fox-like manner. |

| 1342 | ->''"You look afraid. Don't be afraid. This is a dream. The last dream you may ever have, for nightmares are coming."'' |
| 1343 | '''SCP-990''', nicknamed the "'''Dream Man'''" by witnessess, is a man dressed in a Cold War-era business suit who appears to Foundation personnel in their dreams, where he talks to them and gives them vague hints about coming disasters. As of yet, no personnel have encountered him in the real world, nor have there been any reports of him appearing in the dreams of people outside the Foundation. It is left unknown at this time if he causes the disasters he foretells, or merely hints at their approach. |
| 1344 | ----- |
| 1345 | * AffablyEvil: If he's responsible for the events in his warnings, he's a remarkably sporting and fair creature. |
| 1346 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: It's unclear whether his predictions of catastrophic events are threats or just helpful warnings. |
| 1347 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He's a Keter-class man wearing a black suit who only shows up in nightmares... and is only classified as Keter because he is absolutely uncontainable and anything he warns about always requires urgent attention. Otherwise, he's a perfectly NiceGuy that tells people about future dangers. |
| 1348 | * DecoyProtagonist: In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/kalinins-proposal SCP-001-KLN]], he's portrayed as the hero he claims to be, is immune to the effects and malice of the aliens, and helps O5-2 get away from the chaos and relay some information about the aliens' raison-d'etre, suggesting he will be the true protagonist of the Foundation's resistance efforts. However, the aliens somehow find him, and he dies for good the next time O5-2 meets him. In his stead, he's replaced with a separate entity serving as the head honcho's MouthOfSauron. |
| 1349 | * DestructiveSavior: He gives people all the information they need to prevent disasters. If only he could do it without overloading their minds with trauma and putting them to sleep for days, he might actually be the hero he thinks he is. |
| 1350 | * DreamingOfThingsToCome: His purpose, more or less, is to clear up the symbolism of prophetic dreams and bluntly tell people what's going to happen. Whether he ''causes'' this is unknown. |
| 1351 | * TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Competitive Eschatology canon again. He's a World Ender, one of the deific figures summoned by the Harbringer to end the world. Unlike Yahweh, Fenris, Yaldabaoth, and others, however, he's trying to make sure humanity comes out on top. |
| 1352 | * GreaterScopeVillain: Warns the interviewer about an unknown female SCP that he refers to as "[[BigBad the bad guy]]." When the interviewer tells him there's no such SCP by that number, he replies that she hasn't been born yet, but ominously adds "She will." |
| 1353 | * NiceGuy: A little morbid and strange to be certain, but he only showed his existence to the Foundation to help them stop a nuclear war and seemed genuinely perturbed when his chosen "prophet" for that died. |
| 1354 | * NobleDemon: If he's responsible for the events in his warnings, he's a remarkably sporting and fair creature. |
| 1355 | * OurFounder: In the Competitive Eschatology canon, he's the founder of the Foundation. It's unknown how or why he became anomalous, if he wasn't to begin with. |
| 1356 | * RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: He defensively asks if his predictions have caused any ''harm'', clearly expecting to be told "no." At which point a doctor informs him that the last guy to receive one died of shock. |
| 1357 | * TheRival: In Competitive Eschatology, his relations with the current Foundation administrator is... strained. |
| 1358 | * TheMenInBlack: The most striking feature people remember about him is that he looks like this, with his "Cold War era business suit." |
| 1359 | * ScrewDestiny: His ultimate goal, it seems, is to stop a more hostile SCP who hasn't been born yet, and he helps people do this himself. |
| 1360 | * YouCantFightFate: Some of the things he warns about happen anyway. |

| 1368 | -->'''Posted:''' August 25th, 2011 |
| 1369 | ->''"You're very selfish, taking me away from the children like that, you know."'' |
| 1370 | '''SCP-993''' is a children's educational cartoon titled '''''Bobble the Clown'''''. The primary plot of most episodes features the titular character, a clown named "'''Bobble'''", learning a new skill or activity. The show's anomalous properties become obvious when viewed. Anyone ten years of age or older will immediately fall unconscious when the show begins and will remain incapacitated until it ends. Children under the age of ten have reported that Bobble teaches and advocates activities such as arson, stalking, cannibalism, murder, and torture. These activities appear to become ingrained in the minds of all conscious viewers, and repeated exposure can result in permanent psychotic and schizophrenic symptoms. |
| 1371 | |
| 1372 | A list of his appearances can be found [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/system:page-tags/tag/bobble-the-clown here]]. For tropes regarding his "show" visit [[JustForFun/BobbleTheClown here]]. |
| 1373 | ----- |
| 1374 | * ArtEvolution: Bobble's initial character image was far more realistic looking, and was later redrawn to make it more clear that he is a cartoon character. |
| 1375 | * AxCrazy: Bobble loves murder, torture, arson, cannibalism, and [DATA EXPUNGED]. |
| 1376 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Anyone under 10 who watches the show will regularly do the things he teaches them (arson, cannibalism, etc) until the Foundation [[EasyAmnesia erases all memories of the show from the child's mind]]. |
| 1377 | * CorruptTheCutie: Kids who watch enough episodes of ''Bobble the Clown'' develop psychotic and schizophrenic tendencies. In [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/behind-the-scenes Behind the Scenes]], he claims that he's "been making little savages for quite a while now." |
| 1378 | * CurbStompBattle: During a test with [[FixFic SCP-3922]], He promptly shoots down the 3922-A spaceships and disintegrates their soldiers. |
| 1379 | * DepravedKidsShowHost: What else can you call a kid's show host that teaches kids to murder, torture, and stalk people? |
| 1380 | * EldritchAbomination: A sentient TV show. What's more, it ''claims'' to have had attempted existing in previous forms (wrap your head around that one), namely cave paintings. The way it affects the real world is inconsistent and tenuous, able to [[spoiler:kidnap people and film them]], but not fight back against its containment procedures. |
| 1381 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: In the logs accompanying [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1730 SCP-1730]], which take place in an alternate timeline where the Foundation became much more brutal and cruel after fusing with the Global Occult Coalition, even ''he'' is horrified by Dr. Emerson's mass slaughter and torture of humanoid [=SCPs=] and the brutal experiments he conducted. |
| 1382 | -->'''Bobble:''' How many, hee hee hee, how many entities were swallowed by Site-13? ''(laughs)'' You silly silly out of place boy. Silly little boy. Everything made its way into Site-13. If the Foundation could find it and the Coalition could catch it, it was fed into the meat grinder down here. Everything. They mulched us all, if there was nothing to gain. Some got lucky. Bobble got lucky. Stuffed in a funny box and played with. Toyed with. Experimented with. To see what sounds we made when we wanted to die. [[HorrifyingTheHorror Others were not so lucky.]] |
| 1383 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Bobble initially acts like a friendly kid show host despite the contents of his show being ''anything but kid-friendly'', but upon his episodes being blocked by the Foundation he has a VillainousBreakdown (represented by the last two episodes being named "Bobble Hates You" and "[EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU" respectively) in which threateningly stares at the camera and he angrily details methods of breaching several [=SCPs=] and killing researchers involved in his containment. |
| 1384 | %%-->Smile. You're on television! |
| 1385 | * TheGadfly: In the Competitive Eschatology, he seems to take enjoyment out of saying things that annoy [[{{God}} SCP-343]]. |
| 1386 | * HarmfulToMinors: Bobble's show teaches children to become murderers, cannibals, and arsonists. [[SarcasmMode Sounds like good, wholesome educational programming.]] |
| 1387 | * HorsemenOfTheApocalypse: He is War in the Competitive Eschatology canon. |
| 1388 | * IKnowYoureWatchingMe: After the Foundation blocked the show's signal, the episode "Bobble Hates You" was aired, which consisted of Bobble sitting on a chair and staring angrily at the viewer for a full half hour. He followed this up with the episode "[EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU", where he detailed methods of breaching containment for several particularly dangerous [=SCPs=] and murdering researchers involved in getting the show off the air. |
| 1389 | * ImAHumanitarian: The ''very first episode detailed'' has Bobble kidnap some poor citizen, who he later skins, guts and cooks. |
| 1390 | * ImmuneToBullets: As shown in [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/behind-the-scenes Behind the Scenes]], where the first thing he says is that bullet can't hurt him, since he isn't real... |
| 1391 | * InvisibleToAdults: Anyone at or over the age of 10 who tries to view an episode of ''Bobble the Clown'' immediately falls unconscious and stays that way until the program ends. To document Bobble's escapades, the Foundation shows them to children and then doses them with amnestics once they're finished describing what they saw. |
| 1392 | * ItCanThink: At first, the SCP just seems like it's a collection of disturbing cartoons with some supernatural phenomena attached. Then the last two observed episodes reveal that [[IKnowYoureWatchingMe it's aware that the Foundation is blocking its signal]]. And it's ''pissed''. |
| 1393 | * LogicalWeakness: He can only affect things through his show, so the Foundation can completely contain him by intercepting the show's signal, hence his 'safe' rating. Bobble can do no more than glare angrily and broadcast an anti-foundation episode (which is also intercepted). |
| 1394 | * MagicalClown: Bobble is implied to be an EldritchAbomination in the guise of an educational cartoon character. |
| 1395 | %%* MonsterClown: Bobble himself and he is one of the worst. |
| 1396 | * PsychopathicManchild: Not surprising, seeing as he's an evil kids' show host and a psychotic MonsterClown. |
| 1397 | * PsychoKnifeNut: At least two episodes feature him carving up victims, one of them a Foundation doctor, with a huge butcher's knife. His current character image shows him wielding a meat cleaver. |
| 1398 | * PyroManiac: In the episode "Bobble in the Big City," Bobble teaches viewers how to light fires undetected and burns down a large building with numerous people inside before walking away. |
| 1399 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He apparently introduced mankind to fire and inspired the Navajo legends of skinwalkers. Or so he says. |
| 1400 | * SkinWalker: Claims that it's one of his previous forms, implying he was the basis of the myth. |
| 1401 | * TheStoner: Giving him SCP-420-J resulted in a new episode of his show being aired called "Bobble Gets Baked", divided into 3 segments -- "How To Roll the Perfect Doobie," "How To Make a Bong Out of Found Materials" and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick "How To Take Over the Regional Black Market Drug Trade With Ruthless Efficiency."]] |
| 1402 | * SubvertedKidsShow: Bobble the Clown is most definitely NOT a show for kids. It is about a clown teaching the viewer various useful life skills, which all involve violence or other disturbing actions. |
| 1403 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Among the HorsemenOfTheApocalypse in the Competitive Eschatology canon -- Conquest (231-7) simply quits out of protest, the Pale Horse (682) becomes TheAtoner upon awakening, Death (053) does not appear to be all that different than how she normally is and Famine (027) is shown to be reasonable and in general comes off as more of a mystical force than a "person". This leaves Bobble as the only one who comes off as truly malevolent. |
| 1404 | * VillainousBreakdown: The last episode log "'[EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU [EXPLETIVE] YOU'" comes off like this, where Bobble angrily details methods of breaching containment for several [=SCPs=] and murdering researchers involved in his containment. |
| 1405 | -->''"Setting of the episode appears to be Site ██'s video archive, where recordings of SCP-993 are stored. In the episode, Bobble angrily details methods of breaching containment for several [=SCPs=]. Bobble then details methods to murder researchers involved in its containment, showing detailed knowledge of their daily routines and habits. Notably, what appears to be an animated version of Dr. ████ walks past Bobble halfway through the episode. A clock on the wall shows the time as ██:██ PM. [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Dr. ████ confirms that he was walking past SCP-993's archive at the time.]]"'' |
| 1406 | * WouldHurtAChild: He brainwashes children into committing horrible acts, including torturing and killing other kids. |

| 1413 | -->'''Author:''' [=ProfSnider=] |
| 1414 | -->'''Posted:''' February 3rd, 2009 |
| 1415 | '''SCP-999''' is one of the most benevolent entities in Foundation custody. It’s an amorphous mass of orange slime with a consistency similar to peanut butter. 999 is easily malleable and can change shape at will, though when at rest, it becomes a rounded, oblate dome roughly 2 meters wide and 1 meter in height. 999 is described as playful and dog-like in behavior. When approached, it will often react with overwhelming elation, slithering over to the nearest person and leaping on them, "hugging" and "nuzzling" them with pseudopods while emitting high-pitched gurgling and cooing noises. Simply touching 999 causes immediate mild euphoria, which intensifies the longer one is exposed to it. Its favorite activity is "tickle-wrestling", often by completely enveloping a person from the neck down and tickling them until asked to stop. While the creature will interact with anyone, it seems to have a special interest in those who are unhappy in any way. People suffering from crippling depression or PTSD have reported having a far more positive outlook on life after multiple interactions with 999. Though its behavior is infantile, it seems to understand human speech and most modern technology. 999’s diet consists entirely of candy and sweets, M&M’s and Necco wafers being its favorites, which it consumes in a manner similar to an amoeba. |
| 1416 | ----- |
| 1417 | * AdorableAbomination: SCP-999 is a small, happy and friendly orange blob that's absolutely adorable. And according to one story, it's also [[spoiler:a child of the Scarlet King, a horrifically evil and extremely powerful EldritchAbomination. The Foundation believes that, if it's raised with love and allowed to grow to its full potential, it may have the power to reform the Scarlet King himself.]] |
| 1418 | * AllAnimalsAreDogs: Acts like a dog, anyway. |
| 1419 | * AllLovingHero: SCP-999 has unlimited love and compassion to all it encounters, including [[AbsoluteXenophobe SCP-682.]] In fact, SCP-999 risks its own safety to save the lives of others as much as possible. |
| 1420 | * AntiAntiChrist: [[spoiler:According to [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/new-job New Job]], 999 is the thing that 231-7 was carrying, and thus a child of the Scarlet King. However, the 7th Bride of the Scarlet King, unlike her sisters, gave birth to heroes instead of monsters.]] |
| 1421 | * BadassAdorable: A friendly, cute little blob of jello that spreads happiness through touch and gets in ''tickle fights with [[OmnicidalManiac 682.]]'' It even rescues hapless staff and comforts the survivors when 682 makes another murderous rampage-escape attempt. |
| 1422 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: As adorable and silly as it seems on the surface, it's surprisingly willing to (and able to) [[TakingTheBullet Take the Bullet]] for innocent people, and one Tale [[spoiler:implies that it is actually an AntiAntiChrist who will help redeem malevolent {{Eldritch Abomination}}s -- including ''[[GodOfEvil the Scarlet King]] himself!'']] |
| 1423 | * BlobMonster: He is a rare benevolent example. 999 has proven himself a heroic and sweet-hearted blob creature. |
| 1424 | * BreakoutCharacter: He is the most iconic heroic SCP and is basically the series' mascot. |
| 1425 | * CreepyGood: On the surface, SCP-999 should be objectively terrifying considering how it's a two-meter-tall BlobMonster that forcibly grabs people with pseudopods. However, it's so weirdly adorable and genuinely friendly that it's almost impossible not to like it. |
| 1426 | * CuddleBug: It likes to hug people with its pseudopods. |
| 1427 | * FantasticDrug: Touching it induces a drug-like euphoria in people, and seems to alleviate the symptoms of depression and PTSD, if not outright cure them, with no negative side effects whatsoever. |
| 1428 | * FriendToAllLivingThings: It loves all forms of life, including SCP-682! After the two were put into a cell together, 999 requested another encounter, seemingly seeing it as a 'play date'. |
| 1429 | * FriendlyTickleTorture: Its favorite activity, it envelops a person from the neck down and tickles them until asked to stop ([[TickleTorture though it does not always comply with this request]], but it always seems to feel guilty when it realizes that it has gone too far). |
| 1430 | * GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul: Its interaction with SCP-682 had it force 682 into become happy against its will, despite the lizard trying to crush and kill it as soon as they met. |
| 1431 | * GoodCannotComprehendEvil: How does it respond to 682 trying to ''murder it'' and escape? It thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and asked for another 'play date.' |
| 1432 | * ImmuneToBullets: Thanks to being a gelatinous blob, 999 cannot be harmed by bullets. |
| 1433 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: It shows no ill will towards anyone or anything, even in the face of the Foundation canon's greatest evils. |
| 1434 | * KlatchianCoffee: Personnel are not allowed to give SCP-999 soda, because the last time somebody did, it was literally bouncing off the walls for half an hour. It was visibly queasy afterwards and had a mild HeroicBSOD for the rest of the day, refusing to move or eat. |
| 1435 | * LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: In one experiment with 914, a small amount of 999's slime was inserted into 914 on the Very Fine setting, resulting in a small, evil, garlic-smelling blue blob that ended up being eaten by 999. After this, mentioning "Incident E-999-A" to 999 will result in it ignoring the person who brought it up and wandering off to play with someone else. |
| 1436 | * NiceGuy: It's nice to everyone and everything it meets, even 682! The only exception ever was E-999-A. |
| 1437 | * NoBiologicalSex: It does not seem to have a biological gender and is usually referred to as "it", although some stories use "he" pronouns for it. |
| 1438 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: 999 is ordinarily an all-loving being that shows love even to the evilest possible monsters, the fact it acts hostile to E-999-A (a clone of it the Foundation created) is surprising to say the least. |
| 1439 | * PsychicPowers: It's implied to have at least ''some'' psychic abilities, considering how it always smells like [[YourFavorite someone's personal favorite smell]] and it can even alleviate clinical depression and PTSD by immersing itself around the victim. |
| 1440 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: In "New Job", it's not only [[spoiler:the offspring of both the Scarlet King and SCP-231-7, but it's also SCP-682's half-brother]]. |
| 1441 | * SiblingYinYang: [[spoiler:The complete opposite of 682, who is its half-sibling, according to lore that says they are both children of the Scarlet King]]. Also, its cloned younger "sibling" E-999-A is [[OrangeBlueContrast blue]], [[GarlicIsAbhorrent garlic-scented]], and hostile to everything. |
| 1442 | * SweetTooth: Its diet is composed entirely of sweets. M&Ms and wafers are its favorite. |
| 1443 | * TakingTheBullet: SCP-999 loves all animals (including humans) so much that it will leap in front of a person to take a bullet fired at them. |
| 1444 | * TeamPet: Is allowed to wander the site and the staff generally treat it like a well loved family pet. |
| 1445 | * TookALevelInBadass: In the joke article [[http://scp-int.wikidot.com/scp-999-jp-j SCP-999-JP-J]], after what happened in the experiment with SCP-682, SCP-999 realized that he had to become stronger in order to protect everyone. After taking advantage of the containment breach to escape and seek training, SCP-999 returns to the Foundation with a body of steel and a new tickling technique. |
| 1446 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Its favorite candies are M&Ms and Necco wafers. |
| 1447 | * TheUnintelligible: SCP-999 does not talk, and only makes gurgling and cooing noises. |
| 1448 | * YourFavorite: With scents instead of food. SCP-999 emits a smell that is pleasing to every person who comes into contact with it, but the smell is different for each person. Different people have reported it smelling like chocolate, fresh laundry, bacon, roses, and Play-Doh. |
