SCP-200
- Chrysalis
SCP-200 was a 13-year-old boy who, in an apparent display of puberty, managed to produce silk through unknown means. The child has used this silk to wrap himself inside a chrysalis attached to a queen-size bed. An analysis of the chrysalis' interior detected no solids, but several fluids that matched the child's DNA were discovered to be contained inside it. It is also unknown at what time the chrysalis will hatch, nor does anyone know what will emerge from it.SCP-201 - The Empty World
201 at its time of recovery.
SCP-201 is a piece of medical equipment resembling an IV stand. Nearly anyone who comes within 30 meters of the stand will be teleported to an alternate dimension. This dimension is kept in a constant state of twilight, shrouded in fog, and has no life whatsoever. Those who remain in this dimension exhibit strong feelings of fear and loneliness, as well as psychological damage mirroring the symptoms of solitary confinement.- After the End: This appears to be the case with the alternate reality, with most electrical systems in it being broken or without power, and no plant or animal life to be found anywhere.
- Alternate Universe: Anyone within 30 meters of the SCP has a chance of being sent to an alternate reality.
SCP-202 - The Rewind Man
SCP-202 is a 41 year old Asian-British man whose every action is mysteriously performed in reverse, including talking, walking, eating, and breathing carbon dioxide while exhaling oxygen. In spite of his anomalous property, the man is shown to age at a regular rate. Foundation staff who are stationed to observation of him are left frustrated with how his eating functions work, as he ejects fully edible food from his stomach. Replaying his reversed speech in reverse allows for staff members to interview him.- Even Evil Has Standards: A commander has barred anyone from discussing about how he takes a shit, and expunged all records of the matter, stating that the poor guy deserves some privacy.
SCP-203 - Tortured Iron Soul
SCP-203 is a man whose skeleton was replaced with a mechanical cast iron framework that moves on its own volition. This subcutaneous metal framework can be visibly observed from ruptures skin on the man’s body. While he has no vocal cords, 203 can communicate verbally through a transducer located on his faceplate. He seems to understand a moderate amount of English, but his primary language appears to be a previously unknown Arabic dialect. He has no memory of his life before he entered this state, but reports that he feels near-constant pain and confusion.SCP-204 - The Protector
SCP-204 comes in two parts. The first part is SCP-204-1, a semi-organic swarm of nanobots with a large amount of strength, a basic amount of intelligence, and the ability to regenerate themselves by consuming human flesh. The second part is SCP-204-2, a prepubescent child between the ages of 4 and 14 with a history of abuse. The nanobots will form into a physical composition to act as a perfectly obedient protector to the abused child, the form it takes based on the personal desires of the child, to violently protect them from any and all forms of harm.- Corrupt the Cutie: It seeks out children that have been abused in some way or another and imprints on them and alters their mind to turn them vicious in order to eat.the Leak thread on the SCP forum reveals that it doesn't actually exert any mental influence - the viciousness exhibited is just the natural result of mistreated children being given a way to lash out.
- Death Seeker: SCP-204-2 is forced by SCP-204-1 to put itself in dangerous situations so that 204-1 has an excuse to lash out at others and feed on them.
- Eating Machine: SCP-204-1 eats organic materials. This is actually the reason why it does what it does.
- Grey Goo: Downplayed, as the matter destroyed is usually only organic (preferably from living subjects). Still, it's not a Keter-class object for nothing!
- Guardian Entity: Acts as one to SCP-204-2. Deconstructed as well; 204-1 protects the child from danger, but it's not above making the child put itself in danger, giving it an excuse to attack.
- Nanomachines: SCP-204-1 is a cloud of these. It can take on a semi-solid form as well.
SCP-205 - Shadow Lamps
SCP-205 are a pair of floodlamps typically used in photography. When lit, the lamps will utilize shadows displayed on their light to tell a story detailing a woman who meets, has sex with, and is ultimately brutalized by a group of horned male humanoids. When the story ends, the lamps will turn off and the story will reset in a six-month cycle. If someone interrupts the story, an unseen force will brutally attack whoever is responsible in the same way as the woman.- Glamour Failure: According to the shadow display, the woman only realized that the men she was seeing were not human after viewing photographs of them.
- Living Shadow: The lamps display a series of events leading to the brutal murder of a young woman by demonic figures via shadows representing the woman and the figures.
SCP-206 - The Voyager
Invictus on Mars' surface.
SCP-206 is the Invictus, a Martian rover launched by a Russian space agency. Despite a successful launch, the Invictus ceased communication with its operators halfway to Mars and was declared lost. The rover reestablished connection a day after its planned landing, where it began sending photos of drastically different locations than Mars. The reason for why this occurred is unknown, but it has been theorized that the rover was given sentience by an otherworldly being.SCP-207 - Cola Bottles
One of 207's bottles.
SCP-207 is a crate containing 24 Coca-Cola bottles. The liquid contained in these bottles, designated SCP-207-1, contains high amounts of caffeine and sugar, so much so that whoever drinks it will no longer feel the need to sleep or eat. A sharp increase in motor and psychological functions will also result from consumption, allowing for the subject to think, react, and move faster than other people. In spite of these benefits, no subject has ever lasted more than 48 hours after consumption, succumbing to artery ruptures and organ failure.- The Sleepless: Anyone who drink over 5 ml from the bottles will no longer attempt or need to sleep or rest.
- Your Days Are Numbered: Due to the SCP's negative effects, people who have drunk from any of the bottles have lasted 48 hours at most during testing.
SCP-208 - "Bes"
A statue of Bes on the Nile Delta.
SCP-208, known as "Bes", is a short, stout man of Egyptian heritage who is consistently friendly and jubilant to whoever talks to him. Bes is capable of inducing rapid cellular regeneration and reconfiguration within organic lifeforms, allowing for the quick quick and effective healing of most physical ailments. Bes has also been documented to release a unique form of electromagnetic radiation from his body, which has provoked feelings of wellness and ease and made him quite popular with Foundation security staff.- Barrier Warrior: His radiation can act as a physical barrier against malicious beings.
- Big Fun: His sculpture portrays him as a heavy set person. When the researchers came to the conclusion that SCP-500 is a better cure than 208, he remarked "I still tell better jokes".
- Carpet of Virility: He has hair covering most of his body.
- Charm Person: A benevolent example, as he radiates an "aura" of friendliness.
- Friend to All Children: He's very fond of children and is protective of what he considers innocent.
- Healing Hands: He can heal any ailment using a unique form of electromagnetic radiation.
- Nice Guy: He's a friendly and jovial fellow.
- Sealed Good in a Can: Bes was originally found by the Foundation while they were tracking down a different SCP in the Nile River Delta. He was stuck inside of a block of granite with only one of his feet sticking out when the Foundation discovered him and brought him to be exhumed after finding out that Bes was still alive inside of the block.
- Stock Gods: Bes is seen as a deity in Egyptian Culture as being a God of Good that is seen as a God of Households, Celebrations, and Dancing.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: The only thing he hates is snakes. Why? Because Apep, the Egyptian god of evil, usually took the form of a serpent.
SCP-209 - The Sadist's Tumbler
A sample of 209's liquid.
SCP-209 is a glass single-malt Scotch tumbler housing a translucent golden-brown liquid. The liquid does not appear inside the tumbler unless it is in the possession of a human subject. The liquid cannot be siphoned, spilled, drained, evaporated, or removed from the tumbler by any means other than a subject taking hold of the tumbler and drinking it. If there is at least one other person in the area, they will not be able to move near or away from the subject, and are able to be physically manipulated by any word said by the subject; for example, if the subject describes the liquid as "smoky", the other person's lungs will fill with smoke. Once the tumbler is empty, anyone who was held in place by its effect is released, while the subject invariably panics and goes to any lengths to refill the tumbler; should they succeed, the effect resumes.SCP-210 - Flooded House
SCP-210 is a two-story mansion flooded with an unknown fluid. This fluid, designated SCP-210-01, possesses a refraction level almost identical to that of water, and does not flow out of any open windows or doors within the building. Any living thing that comes into contact with the fluid will enter a trance-like state and begins floating along through the fluid as if they were neutrally buoyant. Instances of these people (SCP-210-02) will emit a constant stream of bubbles as if exhaling, despite no source of air identified in the fluid, and subjects appearing to breathe as normal.SCP-211 - Paper-Covered Building
One of the building's hallways.
SCP-211 is a two-story building whose surfaces have been almost completely covered with sheets of paper, collectively designated as SCP-211-1. Sheets of 211-1 have been found to be of various origins. They may be blank, depict various images, ripped from books, or printouts from the Internet. The papers' only identifying characteristic is that their edges are unusually sharp.SCP-212 - The Improver
SCP-212 is an automatic surgery table that "improves" any living tissue that is placed on it with various changes, often adding metal plates to a subject's bones or replacing their internal organs with artificial ones. The process is quite painful, especially since the table does not inject its subjects with anesthetic or replace their lost blood, and half of all subjects who have been subjected to 212 have died.- Auto Doc: SCP-212 is a medical device with three large robotic arms. When anyone gets too close to it it grabs them and starts performing bizarre surgical procedures on them.
- Body Horror: This device performs bizarre surgical procedures on its victims that leave them worse for wear. Changes have included replacing teeth with sharp blades, replacing feet with pads, and replacing hands with tentacles or crab claws.
SCP-213 - Anti-Matter Parasite
213 demonstrating its animalous properties in containment.
SCP-213 is an adolescent teenager who is able to forcefully sever the bonds between atoms in almost any form of matter, vaporizing the matter in question on physical contact. This effect has proven to be extremely painful to 213, extended use of the process causing enough pain to render him unconscious. It has gradually been revealed that his ability is caused by an extraterrestrial parasite taking up residence in his body.SCP-214 - Hemotopian Virus
A blood sample from 214.
SCP-214 is a former Foundation agent who had the majority of his bodily fluids replaced with a mercury-like substance after an incident during the investigation of a public library. Most bodily functions have been observed to no longer be active, though the agent's related organs still exist in a preserved state. He is no longer able to experience pain normally, instead reacting to it as a form of pleasure with no regard to the physical damage to its body.SCP-215 - Paranoia-Inducing Spectacles
SCP-215 is a pair of prescription glasses that cause anyone who wears them to be convinced that inanimate objects are sentient and able to speak to them. The effects' severity depends on how regularly the glasses are worn, but they don't disappear after the glasses are removed. Those who experience severe cases of the effect begin suffering an uncontrolled fear of machines.- Animate Inanimate Object: Anyone who wears the glasses becomes convinced that inanimate objects are sentient and able to communicate with them.
SCP-216 - The Safe
216, currently empty.
SCP-216 is an iron safe with a multiple combination lock. While the safe's door can always be opened, the space inside the safe will change based on the combination entered, each number corresponding to a different space. Any object placed inside the safe can be retrieved by entering the same combination originally used to lock it up. The Foundation has speculated that the safe holds a total of four million accessible compartments.- Bag of Holding: Each time SCP-216 is opened using a different combination its interior is different as well. There are 10 million possible combinations to open it, so it could have up to 10 million possible interiors to store things.
- Brown Note: In one experiment, a tape recorder was placed inside it and the combination was changed multiple times before finally retrieving the tape recorder. The resulting recording was a series of weird sounds that have been reported to cause disorientation, nausea, sweating, a sense of overwhelming despair, abdominal pains, panic attacks, migraines, and strokes to those who hear it.
- Year Outside, Hour Inside: Two experiments indicate that time does not pass inside the safe while the door is closed.
- In one experiment an ice cream bar was placed inside the safe and the door closed. Three hours later it was taken out again. It had not melted at all during that time.
- In another experiment an operating videocamera was placed inside the safe and the door closed. After some time the door was opened again and the videocamera removed. When the tape was played it showed that no time at all passed between the door being closed and opened again.
SCP-217 - The Clockwork Virus
A deer partially infected with the virus.
SCP-217 is an incurable virus with a 100% rate of infection, spread through touch and fluidic contact. The virus is able to alter the biochemistry of a person's tissues, slowly and painfully converting their organic matter into metal. Any person or animal infected by the virus reports that late-stage infection is immeasurably painful, and those who advance to the final stage are transformed into an emotionless and endlessly repeating clockwork machine.- Clockwork Creature: The fate of any living creature infected with 217 is to change into a clockwork machine. Painfully.
- Painful Transformation: People infected claim to feel a "tearing" pain while changing.
- Terrible Ticking: Those infected will start hearing ticking sounds coming from inside of their body as their organs are replaced with clockwork analogues.
- Unwilling Roboticisation: Animals infected with it will slowly change into clockwork machines.
- The Virus: A virus which robotizes its victims.
- Viral Transformation: It's a virus that causes the transformations.
SCP-218 - Lamprey-Mass Organism
SCP-218 is a predatory organism composed of several hundred lampreys. Individual lampreys are capable of breaking off from the mass and moving under their own power. Motile lampreys produce a paralyzing toxin, applied by bite or through its mucus sheath. This toxin inhabits the locomotive muscles and will numb the target to the pain. This paralyzing effect has not been observed to dissipate, and no effective counteragent for the toxin has been discovered.SCP-219 - Resonance Engine
SCP-219 is a mechanical device consisting of an array of pistons driven by an electric motor, which can be powered by attaching it to a separate generator. Attached to the outside of the machine is an IBM desktop computer, keyboard, and monitor, all of them shielded with shock-absorbent foam to prevent damage to them by 219's vibrations.When the computer is turned on, it will automatically activate an "Earthquake Generator" program. When all of the program's criteria have been filled out, the user may select "Run" to start the machine, its pistons oscillating and creating vibrations in the air to match the resonant frequency selected by the user. These materials begin to vibrate in turn as they are struck by air waves, eventually shattering or otherwise coming apart from the strain.SCP-220 - Two's Company
220 as viewed outside his window.
SCP-220 is a multiracial 76 year old man. He presents behaviors symptomatic of dissociative identity disorder, alternately referring to himself as and behaving as one of two different identities. Any individual who interacts with him in person will be fully convinced that these identities are two separate people, and will ultimately sustain a permanent state where they will view any person they see as two separate individuals.SCP-221 - Compulsion Tweezers
The tweezers viewed from two angles.
SCP-221 is a pair of golden tweezers, manufactured sometime between the 16th and 17th centuries. A person who touches the tweezers will then be compelled to use them to remove all the hair from their body. The subject will then remove the fingernails and toenails, followed by their teeth, eyes, skin, and internal organs, resulting in death of the subject.SCP-222 - Clone Coffin
The catacombs where 222 resides.
SCP-222 is a coffin housed in a network of tunnels located underneath Italy's Dolomites Mountains. If a living person is placed into this coffin and it is closed, the person will fall asleep, then reawaken 1-2 hours later. Within a period of 24 hours, a duplicate of the person who slept in the coffin will then manifest somewhere inside the tunnel network.SCP-223 - A Photo Album
SCP-223 is a photo album containing 28 photos of the vacation of an engaged couple who died in a murder-suicide. A person reading the album will occasionally see the likeness of a romantic interest in one or more of 223’s photos. If the person who discovers of the anomaly continues to read the album, their perceptions of the contents will change radically. The photos will begin to depict their romantic partner interacting with an androgynous but attractive member of the target’s sex, causing the reader to invariably react with jealousy and suspicion. If allowed, they will search for the album's final pages, currently missing, believing that the contents will prove whether or not the target’s partner is cheating.SCP-224 - Grandfather Clock
SCP-224 is a wooden grandfather clock whose hands do not seem to move with a known consistency. The clock will release its chimes at a random interval ranging from a minute to several months. The sound of the clock's chimes cause localized temporal acceleration every time they sound.. Any object or person that is in the clock's radius and hears its chimes will age rapidly in a matter of seconds.- Brown Note: When the clock chimes, anyone in range of the sound will undergo Rapid Aging.
- Rapid Aging: When SCP-224 chimes, it causes time to speed up in the surrounding area, sometimes causing people within range of the sound to age up to several years in a short time. In one case a person was affected by 7 chimes, aging them approximately 70 years in a matter of seconds.
SCP-225 - Unstoppable and Immovable
225-1 on the left, 225-2 on the right.
SCP-225 consists of SCP-225-1 and SCP-225-2, two metallic spheres of unknown origin and composition, both of them unable to sustain damage. 225-1 is unable to be moved, and is currently in a geosynchronous path above Earth, moving at the exact speed of Earth's rotation and maintaining its relative position at all times. 225-2 follows a path around the sun that is nearly synchronous with Earth's, appearing to move under its own power via unknown means. The Foundation has theorized that if the spheres collide, they will ignite a cataclysmic explosion powerful enough to eradicate nearly all life on Earth.SCP-226 - Puzzle of Terror
SCP-226 is a black cardboard box with the word "FEAR" written on it. The box is found to contain approximately 1000 cardboard puzzle pieces. When opened, the box and its pieces will align with the opener. When the puzzle is completed, the result will display an image depicting the greatest fear of whoever opened the box and assembled the puzzle.- Supernatural Fear Inducer: It's a box which contains a puzzle that shows the user their greatest fear when it is completed.
SCP-227 - Complete Antikythera Mechanism
SCP-227 is a clockwork device resembling the "Antikythera Mechanism", an incomplete and heavily corroded Greek artifact thought to date from 100 BCE. Early indications are that the machine is an astronomical computer. The mechanism is considered anomalous because it has managed to discover celestial bodies only recently uncovered by modern astronomers, as well as predicting astronomical events that would not occur for centuries after its construction.SCP-228 - Psychiatric Diagnostic Tool
SCP-228 is a Polaroid photograph that randomly changes images when it is not directly observed. The photo appears to gather its subject matter from the subconscious mind of the current watcher, which will remain on the photograph until the current person looks away. Foundation scientists often use 228 to verify a person's personality and psychological profile, but any attempts to answer the question of what the photographs manifests as when unobserved is moot.- Creepy Changing Painting: SCP-228 is a Polaroid that changes when it is not observed and someone starts looking at it again. The contents depends on the new beholder's mental state, so it can be used as a strange sort of Rorschach test.
- Painting the Medium: rf.php, the "video feed" of SCP-228 included within the document. The image changes when you refresh the page or try to open it into another tab.
- Can't Tie His Tie: One photo, labeled "153 Neck" at the bottom, focuses on the loose bow tie at the collar of a girl in a Sailor Fuku.
- Choke Holds: An old man with a second pair of arms reaching from out of frame, grabbing his throat.
- Creepy Crosses: A prickly one with metal nails jutting out from all faces.
- Fauxtivational Poster: enough is never quite enough.
- Malevolent Masked Men: A Lean and Mean shirtless man in an executioner's hood and quill-covered sleeves, wielding a baseball bat wrapped with barbed wire.
- Scenery Dissonance: A trio of teenage girls giving smiles and V-Signs to the camera... as a car burns behind them.
- Tree Cover: Focused on a rose bush, a woman's hands reach out to cup the flowers in the center.
SCP-229 - Wire Weed
An infestation of 229 in Iraq.
SCP-229 is an expanding mass of electric wires and cables identified as a source of life. The mass acts a parasitic being, expanding itself by wrapping its tendrils around any objects displaying even a trace amount of electrical current. The mass can also attach itself to living things, but those it infects describe the process as painful, and will die shortly after.- Kill It with Fire: Because of SCP-229's nature (a mass of power lines and cables), incineration is recommended as the best way of destroying it.
- Silicon-Based Life: Foundation scientists have tentatively identified SCP-229 (a mass of wires and electrical cables) as a form of silicon-based life.
- Vine Tentacles: It uses vine-like tendrils to grab its prey and impale it on its sharp branches.
SCP-230 - The Gayest Man Alive
SCP-230 is a strange man in his 30s who acts incredibly enthusiastically, almost incapable of negative emotions. The Foundation has deduced that the explanation for this behavior is because the man's body produces a chemical compound of similar composition to heroin from his pores, which evaporates and contaminates air upon exposure. This compound induces a permanent state of euphoria in those around the man, as well as making anyone exposed to it become subservient to him.- Affably Evil: Is overly amiable to everyone he meets. Oh, and he also caused the death of several people simply because they took space and turned people into his servants.
- Compelling Voice: Not a direct consequence of the compound he produces but it is close, people exposed to the unnamed compound will comply to anything SCP-230 orders simply because they want to stay close to him.
- Have a Gay Old Time: When he refers to himself as the Gayest Man Alive, he's refering to the old defenition of happy instead of homosexual.
- Lack of Empathy: A consequence of being incapable to feel negative emotions (guilt or remorse), SCP-230 is not "evil", but he doesn't seem to mind people dying so he could have more space.
- The Pollyanna: An Exaggerated example. SCP-230 is virtually incapable of being in a bad mood.
- Psycho Serum: Compound-███, in addition to the very high euphoria levels it induces, has some pretty nasty side effects, similar to withdrawal of common drugs but exaggerated.
SCP-231 - Special Personnel Requirements
See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps 001 To 999.SCP-232 - Jack Proton's Atomic Zapper
The toy at rest.
SCP-232 is a toy laser gun made in the 1950's. Those who hold it for 5-30 seconds will begin speaking as if they were a member of the 1950s youth culture. Exposure to the toy for more than 45 minutes will cause the subject to begin to suffer severe hallucinations convincing them that the world around them is the fictional 27th century of the toy's source material.- Logic Bomb: In the Interview Logs, one of the test subjects became convinced that they were a robot. When the interviewer asked them to answer a paradoxical question, the victim started acting very confused and then slumped over and stopped responding.
- Mind-Control Device: Within 30 seconds of picking up a powered SCP-232, the person doing so will start to talk like a character in an old science fiction novel series. If they're familiar with the series they will believe that they're a character in it.
SCP-233 - 23-Sided Polyhedron
SCP-233 is a 23-sided polyhedron whose physical makeup cannot be emulated in a three or two dimensional form. The object is known to alter the laws of mathematics within its vicinity, causing errors in any equation that is not calculated in the base 23 system. Any object or personnel that manifest the number 23 inside its safe zone will trigger a hostile reaction from the object, which will break them down by the atomic level in .23 seconds.- Alien Geometries: Its physical structure cannot be emulated in traditional 3-D or 2-D form.
- Alternative Number System: Calculations conducted in its vicinity will suffer from rounding errors unless done in a base-23 system. On the other hand, calculations done in base-23 (and avoiding the number [REDACTED]) will be done 23 times faster.
- Loophole Abuse: As long as you avoid deliberately alluding to its forbidden number near it, you can push the envelope of what it allows. For instance, you can poke it with a 2.74 meter pole without anything bad happening, as long as no one nearby perceives its length in feet.
- Numerological Motif: 23. It's a 23-sided object that forces the use of base-23 near it, its number is 233 with Dr. Clef once petitioning to reassign it to SCP-2323 back when there were less than 1000 SCP objects, and its containment procedures use the number wherever possible (such as a 23m x 23m x 23m containment cell, shift changes at 23 minutes past the hour, and .2323 caliber ammunition being the only type allowed near it).
- Painting the Medium: Its article averts listing a certain number, given the object reacts badly to things such as [REDACTED]mm ammo, [REDACTED]-volt batteries, or baseball games that enter the [REDACTED]th inning.
- The Scottish Trope: The object does not take kindly to the digit 9 for some reason; bringing up the number near it tends to result in atomization within .23 of a second, and the one time a [REDACTED] volt battery came in contact with the thing led to fairly messy results.
SCP-234 - Extradimensional Fish
SCP-234 appears to be a species of fish of presumed extradimensional origin. The fish do not appear to have any eyes or light-sensitive organs, but they navigate via a highly evolved sense of echolocation. They maintain the ability to float in midair via a gas-filled organ similar to a swim bladder. These fish will also manifest only in a closed, air-filled space wherever such a space will exist. Any instances of the fish being startled or killed will result in all matter within the surrounding area will evacuated with enough force to instigate a catastrophic implosion.SCP-235 - Phonographic Records
A single 235 record.
SCP-235 are phonographic records composed of shellac, similar to those in the 1920s, with each record containing a different song. Each of the records shares an anomalous phenomenon when played between 77-79 rpm. If the record proceeds to skip or is rendered unable to play its recorded media, any and all motion occurring within the radius of the record in progress will completely cease.SCP-236 - Mimic "Crabs"
SCP-236 is a swarm of near-microscopic crabs that appear to operate via a hive mind. The crabs appear to exhibit stronger intelligence and become significantly more aggressive when they gather in swarms. In these swarms, the crabs are able to take on the physical appearance of inanimate objects for extended periods of time. They can also create more of themselves through any organic matter they can get their claws on, to the point where a moderately sized swarm can convert an entire person in the span of minutes. They do this by entering the human body while a victim is asleep, eating them from the inside out.SCP-237 - Self-Made Man
SCP-237 consists of SCP-237-2, a collection of 16 homunculi fashioned from clay and polyurethane, and SCP-237-1, the remains of the Japanese man who created them, and had previously given them sapience and independent mobility. 14 of the statues are able to speak in fluent Japanese, and of those 14, three of them are able to speak English.- Art Initiates Life: He could bring the homunculi he created to life.
- Body Horror: One of the statues is that of a human male with flensed skin (skin with the fat forcibly removed), visible organs and its head on backwards due to attempts at repairing it.
- Dem Bones: One of the statues is of a skeletal creature.
- French Maid Outfit: One of the statues is dressed in one.
- Mook Maker: He made the statues, and they are being contained by the Foundation.
- Posthumous Character: He collapsed into several slabs of clay and polyurethane resin while being transported to Site 12 for containment. These remains are still being contained by the Foundation.
- Samurai: Two of the statues (one male and one female) are wearing samurai armor.
- Talking Animal: One of the statues is an emperor penguin that can talk, as shown in Interview Log 237-411QL.
SCP-238 - Building Complex
See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the folder In Memoirya, Adytum.SCP-239 - The Witch Child
See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps 001 To 999.SCP-240 - Breath-Powered Flying Machine
An old photo of 240 in flight.
SCP-240 is a flying vehicle constructed from a wooden rod where the operator sits, a mouthpiece connected to a pipe device, and a large canvas sack with the words "From many, comes might" sewn into it, containing a porthole for exhaust fumes to exit. The vehicle is activated when a subject exhales into the mouthpiece, and is capable of remaining airborne for twice the duration of the subject's breathing, after which it will slowly descend and land.- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a flying machine powered by the user breathing into its mouthpiece.
SCP-241 - Good Home Cooking
A page of the cookbook.
SCP-241 is a cookbook titled "Good Home Cooking", which will change the recipes listed within for each person who opens it. The book will allows whoever is currently reading it able to cook any recipe listed inside it, regardless of the subject's culinary expertise. After eating the cooked meal they prepare, the subject will die of anaphylactic shock.- Black Widow: Name-dropped in the acquisition summary, where it's mentioned that the original owner of the SCP married four times, and all of her husbands died after eating a meal at home.
- Deadly Book: It's a cookbook that displays appetizing dishes containing one or more ingredients that the book opener is allergic to. If anyone prepares one of said dishes and the one to last open the book eats it, they will always die of anaphylactic shock. In addition, it will amplify the opener's existing allergies or induce new ones if the opener had none.
SCP-242 - Self "Cleaning" Pool
242 having very nearly sterlized some pond water.
SCP-242 is an in-ground swimming pool with stairs, an in-pool vacuum, and a dual waterfall, which can convert any foreign material inside it into sterilized pool water to keep itself clean, and this water will remain sterile even when removed from the pool and placed in an non-sterile environment. A couple in a relationship who snuck into the owners' yard to use the pool were the first subjected to this process.- Holding Hands: A couple that went swimming in the pool fell asleep in their rafts holding hands.
- Human Resources: It's implied that the couple was converted to sterile water by the pool.
- Two-Person Pool Party: The couple "engaged in intimate activities" in the pool.
SCP-243 - Animation
The ellipsoid of batteries.
SCP-243 is a mass of d-cell batteries fused into an ellipsoid. The mass' anomalous properties will manifest when 5 or more inanimate objects of the same design are brought to it. The objects will then animate, demonstrating increased flexibility, locomotion, and levitation, and will also begin displaying flocking behavior and a sense of self-preservation. The affected objects will also perform actions thematically appropriate to their type; knives will look for things to cut, umbrellas will form shades, chairs will offer themselves as places to sit. The affect will wear off in 24 hours, but it will wear off more quickly if a flock is split.SCP-244 - Ice Fog Jar
244 with its lid on.
SCP-244-1 is a ceramic earthenware jar decorated with silver filigree. When the jar's cap is removed, condensed water vapor will flow from the receptacle. This vapor will lower the temperature and raise the humidity of every area it enters, and is known to contain SCP-244-2, a gaseous entity taking the form of a cloud of fog. Because of its inordinately cold temperature, 244-2 will actively seek out any source of heat energy and envelop them, usually flash freezing the source in the procress.SCP-245 - SCP-RPG
SCP-245 is a sapient character that exists in a role playing video game depicting the Foundation, including every SCP, faculty member, and the entire layouts of every facility. The game centers around one particular person in the facility at any given time, which is entirely controlled by the person currently playing the game. The game allows players to take control of SCPs of low class, but it can also allow players to control Site Directors and even O5s, which may cause dangerous problems to arise. 245 itself is fought as the game's final boss. The author created the game itself using RPG Maker.- Breaking the Fourth Wall: SCP-245 is aware that he is a character in a game, and so do some of the other characters in the game that he has altered.
- Easter Egg: Entering certain names at the start of the game can result in some different dialog at the beginning.
- Developer's Foresight: The writer added an extra secret ending for players who try to find out what happens when you intentionally lose the boss fight in the good ending.
- Eldritch Abomination: SCP-245 is a Time Abyss who could exist in any form of writing and is contained as a character in a video game. At the end of the game the player fights him in his One-Winged Angel form.
- Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: SCP-245's true form is one of these. The master password is also a reference to this trope.
- Look on My Works, Ye Mighty, and Despair: The character in the game who is supposed to be the villain before SCP-245 messed up the game is named Ozymandias, referencing the Trope Namer. It ultimately turns out that the reference is really about SCP-245. He thinks that is a powerful being with total control of the world of the game and the ability to escape into the real world, but it is shown the game's secret endings that he actually is powerless and nothing he does in the game matters, where he realizes the significance of the reference.
- Multiple Endings: The game has four endings. A bad ending, a good ending, a secret ending, and another secret ending.
- Painting the Medium: SCP-245 cannot be described outside the context of a video game so the article contains a downloadable file for a game that contains SCP-245.
- Off the Rails: SCP-245 freaks out at you if you intentionally lose the boss battle at the end of the good ending and kicks you out of the game.
- One-Winged Angel: You fight SCP-245 in a monstrous form at the end of the game.
- Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: This is subverted. It turns out that SCP-245 actually doesn't remember what you did in previous playthroughs of the game though he implies that he does.
- Shout-Out: The game's two passwords both reference trope titles.
- The password received in the bad ending, used to view the second page of the containment file containing the master password, is welcome2corneria.
- The master password needed to see SCP-245's full description is largecosmiclouse, a play on "Giant Space Flea".
- Sudden Downer Ending: In The Stinger of the good ending, SCP-245 tricks you into giving him the master password so he can escape from the game, although the secret endings show that he didn't escape after all.
- Time Abyss: SCP-245 claims to be an ancient being who could exist in any form of writing.
- Welcome to Corneria: The password to the page where the master password is kept is a reference to this trope.
- Zero-Effort Boss: The Final Boss dies in only a few hits and does very little damage to you. If you lose to him anyway, you get a secret ending where he gets mad at you for losing on purpose.
SCP-246 - Prophetic Projector
246 turned off.
SCP-246 is a 16mm film projector that displays film when pointed at a projection screen or a similar white surface. The films produced by the projector take the appearance of a 1950s educational film that will depict the viewer's future, after which the viewer will suffer all afflictions displayed in their film. It is because of the specific nature of each viewer's film that the Foundation has theorized the projector has limited awareness of its surroundings.- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a projector that displays short films which depict a viewer's recent future.
SCP-247 - A Harmless Kitten
SCP-247 is a Bengal tiger that generates a perceptual effect on anyone who enters its radius, making subjects view it as a small, orange and black-striped housecat. The tiger utilizes this ability by using its perceived adorability to lure humans into petting it. After receiving the person's affection for several minutes, the tiger will to pounce on them, mauling and devouring them with a sense of ferocity.- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: It's a Bengal tiger that appears to be a kitten, and it acts cute and harmless before attacking and devouring its victims.
- Care-Bear Stare: A rare terrifying version. In addition to making itself look like a kitten, it exudes a psychic wave that makes nearby humans want to play with it and unwilling to harm it - even while it's killing them.
- Cute Kitten: It is able to make itself look like one, so it can lure in humans and devour them.
- Deceptively Cute Critter: SCP-247 appears to observers as a tiny orange-and-black kitten. However, it is actually an adult Bengal tiger projecting a harmless appearance so it can lure in humans and eat them. People in its presence are affected by a psychic effect that overwhelms them with SCP-247’s cuteness and makes them unwilling to harm it, even as it is literally eating them.
- Didn't Think This Through: After testing how SCP-247 reacts to multiple animals, including an adult female tiger, the supervising researcher puts an adult male tiger into her enclosure. The result is a bunch of super strong anomalous hybrid tigers designated SCP-247-1.
- The Dreaded: It is capable of terrifying animals once it shows its true appearance to them, as shown in the testing log.
- Kill All Humans: Despite otherwise acting like a normal tiger, it seems to prefer humans as prey - not only does it mutilate and toy with humans it meets instead of killing them quickly like normal prey, but it's noted to have killed or attempted to kill every human it has the opportunity to, even when it's not hunting. The Foundation surmises that it could be a predator who adapted to singularly hunt humans.
- Killer Rabbit: It looks like an ordinary kitten, but it's actually a Bengal tiger.
- Logical Weakness: Its psychic field makes people unwilling to harm it, but only works within a certain radius; thus it can be harmed by someone staying out of said field and shooting at it with a long-range weapon.
- Pet the Dog: It plays with an ordinary tabby kitten in one test.
- Sadist: Potentially. Though fully capable of hunting anything your average Bengal tiger can - moreso, even - it prefers prey that it can manipulate and fully lure into its trap. Prey without social skills or the ability to love (and subsequently be betrayed by) it are quickly discarded.
- Telepathy: It is able to convince its victims that it is entirely harmless if they're within range, and they also show reluctance to harm it or allow it to be harmed. This can be blocked with SCP-148.
SCP-248 - 110%
SCP-248 is a booklet of stickers manufactured by the Factory, each of them reading "110%". The sticker will permanently bond with any mechanical device it is placed on, unable to be removed by any means. The stickers will also allow for the machines they are bonded with to operate at 110% efficiency, increasing their speed and production regardless of whatever parts are missing.SCP-249 - The Random Door
SCP-249 is a windowless door coated in white paint. Whenever it is opened, the door will lead to the doorway of a completely random door within an 850 meter radius. Any item that goes through 249 will be teleported to the other door, regardless of what may be between it and 249. The exit door appears to open on its own accord when viewed from its destination, and whatever comes through 249 will seemingly appear from thin air. 250- 299
SCP-250 - Most of an Allosaurus
The skeleton upon discovery.
SCP-250 is the animate fossilized skeleton of an Allosaurus. The skeleton typically spends its days replicating the usual behaviors of an Allosaurus, pacing its enclosure during the day, entering a dormant state at night, and even hunting anything it views as prey for sustenance, including humans. Its lack of biological organs, as well as the fact that its food will usually fall through the gaps in its bones, seems to pose no deviation from its behavior.- Dem Bones: An animate dinosaur skeleton.
- Noodle Incident: Its ability to move is implied to have been caused by a paleontologist from one of the museums that mounted it.
SCP-251 - The Deceptive Snow Globe
One of the scenes depicted within 251.
SCP-251 is a snow globe with a series of photographs taken of itself attached to it. When viewed by multiple people, no apparent movement can be seen except by a perpetual "blizzard". The scenes depicted in the globe when it is viewed directly by one person are all extremely violent and morbid, mostly depicting more realistic brutality. People who have been alone with the snow globe are noted to begin displaying extreme violence, emotional distress, and xenophobia.SCP-252 - Humboldt Squid
An instance of 252 in the depths.
SCP-252 is a subspecies of the Humboldt Squid. When a squid detects that a threat is nearby, they will enter and aggravated state and activate their chromatophores while approaching the threat at massive speeds. The shifting of their colors has been seen to create hypnotic illusions in their threats' eyes, causing said threats, usually people, to perceive the squid as an immense, multi-limbed sea monster. 95% of these cases have resulted in the subject gaining an immense fear of cephalopods.- Combat Tentacles: This small squid can use Mass Hypnosis to cause anyone looking at it to see it as a giant monster with up to 200 limbs, including suckered tentacles up to 5 meters long.
- Eldritch Abomination: Double subverted. It looks like one to people who see it, but it's really just a regular squid...except not really, as it's the spawn of an Eldritch Abomination.
- Mass Hypnosis: SCP-252 is a squid up to 1 meter long. It can rapidly change the colors of its skin, hypnotizing anyone looking at it and causing them to think that it's a giant monster up to 75 meters long. It's mimicking its parents.
SCP-253 - The Cancer Plague
SCP-253 is a cluster of human cells that match the physiological traits of cancer. Much like cancer, the cells will indefinitely grow if provided an ample supply of nutrients. Unlike most forms of cancer, 253 is contagious, able to spread via physical contact with infected neoplasms. The cells are known to overwhelm and kill their host in 5 days if their biomass does not reach a specific threshold, and will consume any remaining usable biomass within the body before they wither and die.- Body Horror: It's a cluster of undifferentiated cancer cells that induces rapid tumor growth in anyone it infects, usually leading to their death or else making the host part of a Hive Mind.
- Hive Mind: Any people that survive long enough to have around 1400 kilograms of cancer cells will become part of one, coordinated by the neoplasms that have formed in their brains.
SCP-254 - Employee of the Month
SCP-254 is a wooden plaque with an empty brass picture holder, a printed metal plate with a black background, and gold-colored letters reading “Employee of the Month.” When the plaque is hung on a wall in a work area currently holding 4 or more people, it will result in the manifestation of SCP-254-1, an incorporeal human of variable gender, age, race, name, and appearance, who will adopts the appearance and persona of a model employee, based on the area’s memetic consensus. If 254 is not removed after a month, 254-1 will begin to degrade in performance, beginning with an unhelpful attitude and forgetfulness, then becoming worse and worse until the employee is “fired.” Following this, 254-1 will actively sabotage the work area in the most destructive manner possible, posing severe hazards to any nearby personnel.- Employee of the Month: When hung, a model employee appears, with their picture occupying the frame. For the next month, they will have excellent performance, but degrade in quality afterwards until fired.
SCP-255 - Base Eleven Disorder
SCP-255 is an infectious phenomenon of extraterrestrial origin, which manifests as a neurological disorder. Eligible carriers of 255 have been observed to be mammals who possess a cerebral cortex with around 5.4 billion neurons, including humans, chimpanzees, African elephants, bottlenose dolphins, false killer whales, and others. Degradation of brain cells and the nervous system has been noted on a limited basis in humans, and a range of more unusual symptoms occurs in these subjects.- Comet of Doom: Cases of the disorder have been known to coincide with flybys of the asteroid 3124 Hybris, which orbits close to Earth every 11 years.
SCP-256 - Trapped in the Typewriter
SCP-256 is a typewriter whose keys are fixed in position and contains two concave copper discs stand on either end instead of a rollbar. EM readings show that a significant electrical charge passes between these copper discs without any conductive medium. If any prohibited items are brought into 256's containment chamber, this current increases in voltage and amplitude, eventually arcing out and striking the object in question. It is unknown where this extra energy comes from, as there seems to be no power generation source within the typewriter.SCP-257 - Professor William Woodsworth's Collection of Curiosities
An enclosure within the abandoned 257.
SCP-257 is an abandoned zoological park located in the United Kingdom. The zoo itself, described "Professor William Woodsworth's Collection of Curiosities", is heavily dilapidated in appearance and contains largely outdated equipment, suggesting that the park has been abandoned for at least 50 years. At irregular intervals, animals will mysteriously appear within the zoo’s cages. A hand-written manual detailing proper care of the animal in question will also appear inside the ticket booth at the entrance of the zoo, also describing information about the animal's origin and acquisition. The animals vary widely in appearance, behavior, and classification, but do not seem to match most terrestrial animals found on Earth.SCP-258 - Weeping Frog
The frog before acquisition.
SCP-258 is a bouncing playground rider designed to fit children of elementary school age, shaped like a stylized green frog. 258 has milky-white eyes with what appear to be streams of white paint, designated SCP-258-1, running down its face, as though it were weeping. When a subject sits on the rider and grasps its handles, then begins rocking back and forth, they report a feeling of peace and contentment washing over them. The "frog's" eyes will begin leaking 258-1 at an accelerated rate, relative to the effect it has on its current rider's state of mind.SCP-259 - The Weisenglass Spiral
The Weisenglass Spiral in action.
SCP-259 is "The Weisenglass Spiral", a fractal image that acts as an interdimensional portal leading to differing areas throughout the multiverse. The locations that the Spiral can access appear to vary depending on size and orientation whenever the image is rendered. Documented areas the spiral as opened portals to include an area of deep space, an area filled with superheated plasma, and an area filled with an undocumented species of highly venomous cockroaches. The Foundation has uncovered that the Spiral is being used for malicious intent by an unknown party, and is working with several anti-terrorism organizations to hunt down those responsible.SCP-260 - The Tracking Stone
SCP-260 is a small clastic rock of an unknown composition. One of the larger and smoother portions of the rock has the name of a human inscribed onto it, which will change at well-defined intervals. The rock maintains a continuous geodesic stream of motion across all objects that stand between it and the individual currently named on it. When the rock makes surface contact with its target, it will rapidly burrow itself into the torso and pulverize the internal organs. Once the victim's vitals cease functioning, the rock will exit the body and resume its geodesic cycle of motion.SCP-261 - Pan-Dimensional Vending
261 powered on and waiting to recieve yen.
SCP-261 is a black vending machine that is capable of dispensing snack foods from alien worlds, alternate universes, and parallel dimensions. The factors of what snacks the machine dispenses include whether it is plugged into a power source, and the amount of yen is inserted into it. It has a numeric keypad as well, but whatever keys are pressed does not appear to have any correlation to what it dispenses. The machine also appears to have some degree of intelligence, as it has been known to lash out at people who interfere with its delivery system.- 13 Is Unlucky: Giving the machine 13 yen resulted in a box of expired, stale "UnLucky Charms" with no marshmallows.
- Berserk Button: Yes, it has them, despite being a sentient vending machine:
- Don't give it counterfeit money. It always knows, even when the forgery is perfect.
- Don't try the coin-on-a-string trick. Generally what happens is the food item consumed will be almost immediately vomited out, as if the food had a string attached to it. However, it seemed the machine eventually got fed up with that and dropped a live grenade that exploded, causing quite a bit of death and injury.
- Don't insert money and then take your sweet time entering numbers in the keypad. Someone did this and got 30-years-expired strawberry yogurt that resulted in 3 straight weeks of food poisoning.
- Don't use money stolen from a charity plate. That will lead to direct violence by the machine.
- Bigger on the Inside: Some of the items dispensed by SCP-261 have this quality:
- A straw contained more Dr. Pepper than was physically possible - as much as a full sized bottle.
- A tube contained an infinite amount of "Prangles" potato chips that the subject was literally unable to stop eating.
- A large chocolate "Kinder Matryoshka" egg containing more than 60 layers of candy eggshells with different flavors and a plastic sapphire in the center.
- It also attempted to dispense an entire cow once, but the slot was too small, so all the researcher ended up getting was a severed hoof filled with cream.
- Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: It has produced ghost pepper-flavored Doritos, a jalapeño-flavored gumball, and a tube of "Russian Roulette Drops" containing 8 candies, one of which was filled with 85% pure capsaicin.
- Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Dimensional Donuts, so long as unbroken have objects falling out of the hole, including small candies, slices of fruit, jigsaw pieces, various forms of ammunition, blood, gasoline, various insects of unknown species, and human fingers.
- Counterfeit Cash: Don't feed the machine any of it. One person got cyanide gummy middle fingers as a result.
- Deadpan Snarker: Some of its outputs indicate the machine isn't only sapient, but is a kind of smartass. For example, giving it literally half of a 100 yen note will cause it to dispense literally half a can of Coca-Cola.
- Death Seeker: The "Eetmees" that it produces live solely for the purpose of being Eaten Alive. If you refuse to eat them, they'll force themselves into your mouth. Then they scream in joy as they're chewed and swallowed.
- Flipping the Bird: Giving it fake money resulted in it dispensing gummy hands with this gesture. They were made of cyanide.
- I'm a Humanitarian: "Nips", candies shaped like human nipples in various skin tones that are reported to take similar to pork.
- The Immodest Orgasm: After eating a pinwheel-shaped loaf of bread from "Heaven's Shining Auspicious Bakery," a subject fell into a state similar to an orgasm for 50 minutes and remained delirious for 2 more hours while babbling about "gates of pure palladium, polished by the multitudinous hosts of the shattered princess."
- Impossibly Delicious Food: "Mr. Mercer's amazing condiment", a tiny bottle of orange paste that makes anything taste delicious, even things that aren't actually food.
- It Can Think: While at first simply seeming like a vending machine that can give you food from across the multiverse (among other things) it has become clear that the machine has some form of intelligence, along with a sense of humor, and, most dangerously, limited patience. As mentioned above, putting counterfeit money into it resulted in cyanide gummies, though other instances include:
- Dropping a live grenade after one-too-many instances of the "coin on a string" trick. As mentioned, people died, showing that this machine has no qualms about ending you if you piss it off.
- Accepting coins from a thousand years ago... and dispensing thousand-year-old Japanese rice.
- Apparently being aware of its testers' thoughts; after dispensing several more bizarre (and harmful) snack items, a researcher suggested that the machine was being "tired out" by all the testing. The next day, the machine promptly dispensed normal items again.
- When it had its photo taken by SCP-978 (a camera showing whatever the photographed subject wants to be doing at the moment the picture is taken), the resulting picture showed it buried up to its top half in yen coins.
- Inserting culturally significant numbers of yen tend to produce items that fit the theme. For example, one test had a researcher insert 777 yen, causing the vending machine to make sounds like a slot machine before dispensing exactly 777 chocolate coins.
- If something goes wrong with the machine that keeps it from working properly, it'll return any money given it and dispense a message saying "Service Required". This happened once after a set of honey packages accidentally were dispensed with their lids off and the honey not inside the containers; it was found that the honey had gummed up the machine. Cleaning the machine restored it to normal (for it) functionality.
- If you're Doctor King, you will get only apple seeds — as many seeds as yen you put in. If you're putting in money as a request from Doctor King, you will also only get apple seeds. Also the day Doctor King used the machine, everyone after him only got apple seeds.
- It's aware of what's going on when given a ridiculous amount of single yen coins in place of more conventional change. The first time it expressed an awareness of "salt" as a slang term, and made sure the one who played the prank could taste nothing but it while playing the prank right back. The second time it created a set of cookie caricatures specifically mocking Dr. Whitehall, who was responsible for both tests, which were "underwhelming, bland and boring".
- Trying the "coin on a string" trick again— it dispensed another grenade, though this one exploded into confetti and peppermint.
- Putting 261 yen into 261 resulted in a miniature chocolate replica of 261, which dispensed a smaller replica of 261, which kept dispensing replicas until the fifth one produced a single green Skittle.
- It Won't Turn Off: It can run plugged or unplugged but it tends to give more unstable results sooner when unpowered. Testing is done in both states.
- Let's Meet the Meat: "Eetmees", tiny crab-like creatures which beg to be eaten, force themselves into one's mouth, and howl with joy as they are chewed.
- Menstrual Menace: "Ladypax", berry-flavored snack cakes that immediately make a woman start having her period when she eats them.
- Money Fetish: A picture taken of it with SCP-978 showed it half-buried in an ocean of yen coins. To put it bluntly, it really wants your money.
- Mushroom Samba: Literally. The machine once dispensed a red mushroom that, when eaten, caused a D-Class to hallucinate an entire episode of what appeared to be a sitcom.
- Nutritional Nightmare: "Turduchoken", balls of fried turkey with smaller balls of fried duck inside, which have chocolate candies inside, which have even smaller balls of fried chicken in the center. They have 450% the daily amount of saturated fat required by an adult human.
- No Fair Cheating: As some entries in Vengeful Vending Machine show, any attempt to give fake money (or insert-remove the coin with a string) will result in insults, deadly products, things you can't eat without throwing up, or downright murder attempts.
- No Snack for You: Subverted. If you put in Japanese yen, it will always give you something. That something, however, is not always safe for humans to eat, or even safe period. Played straight when researchers put in non-Japanese currency; the currency will be returned.
- Rainbow Motif: One of the items provided by SCP-261 was a flashlight with 6 lenses, each a color of the rainbow (with indigo being the color missing). When the flashlight was used to shine light on someone, they tasted an appropriate flavor: Red (cherry), Orange (orange), Yellow (banana), Green (lime), Blue (blueberry) and Violet (grape).
- Scary Stinging Swarm: In a revised version, instead of dropping a grenade after too many uses of the coin-on-a-string trick, it dispensed a live, non-anomalous beehive, resulting in researchers getting attacked by a swarm of bees.
- Shout-Out:
- One item it dispensed was a white cake in a box labeled "TASTE ME". When eaten it increased the subject's size by 7 inches and their mass by 13.6%. This is a reference to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, in which Alice ate a cake with "Eat Me" written on it and grew to tremendous size. There are also licensed items such as "Prince's 1999 Party Drink" and "The Offspring's Most Hideous Hangover Ever".
- Another item was a cup of tea, Earl Grey, hot which can only be referred to tea, Earl Grey, hot (and which isn't a very good copy of the real tea, Earl Grey, hot at that.)
- One more recent entry details the machine dispensing Instamash from the Fallout series. Two in fact, one from before, and the other from after the Great War. The one from after even included radiation poisoning for the unfortunate consumer.
- Stealth Insult: During one testing, it was given 100 yen instead of the usual 500. It provided a suppository, essentially telling the staff they could shove it up their ass for being so cheap.
- Stealth Pun:
- The pyramid-shaped candies that reportedly taste like chalk. Testing reveals that they contain roughly the recommended daily intake of nutrients. In other words, they're food pyramids.
- It once dispensed three pieces of bacon that caused the subject to speak in Pig Latin after eating them.
- Stuff Blowing Up: "Applexsplosion", a bag of strangely-colored apples that explode when damaged, covering the surrounding area in a thick, edible, fruit-flavored paste.
- Take That!: When a Yen modified to bear a QR code for Bitcoin was put in, a pre-packaged Oreo Creme pie slice was given out, called "Pie in the Sky". On top of floating towards the ceiling of the chamber, it was low-calorie.
- Tasty Tears: The “Cute Girl's Tears” drink, which has a picture of a crying anime girl on the label. It has a sweet taste with a hint of salt, and those who score the highest on the TSR-88 Cruelty Index enjoy the taste more. The label also encourages the consumer to try “Cute Boy's Tears” and “Sister's Tears.”
- Testosterone Poisoning: After a D-class ate a bag of "X-Treme Chips", his voice became deeper and he immediately requested that the supervising agent join him in extreme sport activities such as surfboarding, mountain climbing, and bungee jumping.
- Troll: When testers attempted the coin and string trick (which had previously dispensed a live grenade that killed several people), the machine dropped another grenade... one that exploded with confetti and the sound of a noisemaker.
- Vengeful Vending Machine
- While not vengeful, per se, it gets very passive-aggressive if you try to give it something that isn't genuine Japanese currency. For example, one experiment involved giving it a counterfeit 500-yen coin. SCP-261 responded with toxic gummi-bears shaped like a human hand with middle finger extended.
- In a more humorous tone, when someone tried to slip in an "I. O. U. 500 Yen" note, it responded with an empty popcorn bag containing the note "I. O. U. 41 popcorn kernels". And true to its word, the next time someone put in 500 yen, it spat out exactly 41 popcorn kernels... without the bag. It was a bit of a mess.
- In another experiment, someone dropped a piece of paper into the coin spot that read "900,000 yen". It dispensed a Ziploc type bag with a brownish, semi-liquid stuff inside it and "B.S." written on the side. Testing showed that it was actual bovine feces or "bullshit".
- Hitting the coin return produced a zero-value coin, then a note telling the user to stop when this was repeated. Using the zero-value coin produced a lunch utterly devoid of taste, nutrition, texture, or really anything else. The test-subject who ate it said it didn't fill her up at all.
- After several attempts by an agent to use a coin and string trick to avoid actually paying, 261 dispensed a live and armed grenade, which detonated with casualties.
- It seems to really not like thieves. When the Foundation tried inserting 200 Yen they took from the collection plate of a Shinto temple in Tokyo, it returned the money. When they tried it the second time, they found that the coins were so hot that they gave anyone who handled them second degree burns— this only stopped when the money was returned along with a check for ten million yen as compensation.
SCP-262 - A Coat of Many Arms
SCP-262 is a European military greatcoat dating from a period between the late 1500s to the early 1900s. Carbon dating the coat has generated inconclusive results, placing the coat's age in the range of 6,200 to 6,400 years old.262 is capable of manifesting numerous humanoid and semi-human arms from within its inner lining. Any subject wearing the coat needs only to open it to materialize the arms, which will be somewhat under the subject's control.SCP-263 - "Cash or Ash"
An episode of "Cash or Ash?" being broadcast on 263.
SCP-263 is a black and white TV set bearing a logo reading "THOMSON". When the set is switched on, it will display a 1960s game show titled "Cash or Ash?". The show's host, SCP-263-1, will ask whoever is currently watching the set to answer very specific questions related to their immediate surrounding area. Contestants who are known to answer a question incorrectly, fail to answer after 45 seconds, or "cheat" during the process, will be subjected to spontaneous combustion.- Berserk Button: It doesn't like people who "cheat", such as if someone talks to the viewer, or the viewer leaves the area in front of the SCP or uses a computer larger than 27 centimeters.
- Loophole Abuse: It doesn't consider anyone who uses mobile devices or small laptops to be "cheating", thus allowing them to find the required answer in the given time frame.
- Man on Fire: Any person that fails to give a correct answer or "cheats" will burn to death.
SCP-264 - Skeleton Temple
SCP-264.
SCP-264 is a 2 meter humanoid skeleton whose torso and upper pelvis consist of a a structure composed of an unknown metal, and resembling a temple with a door in the center. 264 is sentient, and is known to communicate through non-verbal methods, such as writing, sign language, and Morse code. On rare occasions, a designated statue within the temple will speak for the skeleton. 264 calls itself "The Guardian" and claims to be the creator of both the statues and the structure they "live" in, the statues themselves appearing to be aware of "The Guardian's" existence, since they have been observed retrieving several objects from the interior of the structure.SCP-265 - Black Volga
A recovered image of the vehicle.
SCP-265 is a painted black Series 1 GAZ M21 Volga car that lacks logos and a license plate. The car is shown to operate under its own power and is devoid of human occupants. It is noted to follow lone travelers on long roads and idle in home driveways, taking part in these scenarios to elicit dread and paranoia in human subjects.SCP-266 - Will o' the Wisp
SCP-266 is a collection of sentient, free-floating masses of gaseous material that possess a natural red or purple luminescence. Most instances of 266 feel cold to the touch, and exert an endothermic effect on their immediate surroundings. Despite having no nervous system, the masses appear to react to stimuli and have been observed to learn certain habits based upon its experiences. These masses are is remarkably fond of heat, actively seeking sources of it, be they natural or artificial. They primarily prefers human contact as their go-to method of obtaining warmth, but their endothermic nature will lead to death by hypothermia for those who are exposed without proper protection.SCP-267 - Tumorvore
A specimen of 267.
SCP-267 are hairless, carnivorous rodents that resemble naked mole rats. These rodents spend their lives living in eusocial colonies in a network of underground tunnels. The rodents lack eyes, and their auditory and tactile senses are atrophied. They also seem incapable of experiencing pain or any sense of self-preservation. The rodents also have a potent venom in their teeth that triggers aggressive paralytic and carcinogenic effects in anything they bite. Dozens of soldiers cooperate to locate and bring down prey, attacking simultaneously to inflict dozens of bites in seconds and incapacitating the target, their venom causing large amounts of tumors to grow. They drag the victim, conscious but immobile, back to their colonies to feed on the tumors their venom creates.SCP-268 - Cap of Neglect
SCP-268.
SCP-268 is a tweed-wool cap similar to the ones worn by early 20th century newsboys. Anyone who puts on the cap will suddenly and instantaneously become completely unnoticeable. The subject will become unmemorable, ignorable, or "taken for granted" by everyone around them. These people are able to remember wearers of the cap with specific prodding, but they are unable to provide any description of them besides the fact that they were wearing the cap.SCP-269 - Dialysis Bracelet
The bracelet at rest.
SCP-269 is an unmarked red jade bracelet. When the bracelet is placed around the wrist or ankle of a living human, it will extend flexible tendrils that will enter the host's arteries and integrate into their circulatory system. Once the tendrils are fully integrated, the bracelet will begin to filter substances from its host's bloodstream. The process will not kill the subject, and is noted as being rather painless, though it has also been described as mildly uncomfortable. The bracelet can also not be removed from its host without amputating the affected hand or foot.SCP-270 - Secluded Telephone
SCP-270 is a black, nondescript, mid-20th century telephone whose power cord extend to indefinite length into the ground directly below it. The phone captured the Foundation's interest after they discovered an audio stream of encrypted messages (SCP-270-1) emanating from its earphone, which soon proved valuable to giving information to the Foundation, including descriptions of containment breaches.SCP-271 - Inscribed Disc
The disc in question.
SCP-271 is a small metallic disc of an unknown composition seized from a shrine belonging to the Church of the Broken God. The disc is engraved with a number of symbols that may or may not represent the alphabet of an unknown language. The symbols are infectious to their environment, and will gradually carve themselves into any nearby objects, and then petrifying the object into a similar composition to the disc. Both processes are extremely painful to living organisms, and the only known method for purging the symbols is to destroy the object.SCP-272 - An Old Iron Nail
SCP-272 is an iron nail that has every flat surface marked by engravings of unknown origin, these engravings being described as “captivating, but scary” in a majority of those who view them. If the nail is dropped onto the shadow of an individual in its radius, the nail will bury itself to 2/3 of its length into the material the shadow is cast on. Following this, the person whom the shadow belongs to will not be able to move so long as the nail is embedded within it, nor will they be able to remove the nail by any means.SCP-273 - Human Phoenix
273 in a fetal position.
SCP-273 is a middle-aged Native American woman who doesn't feel any need to eat or drink, although tests have confirmed that she is capable of doing both. When she eats within the consistent timespans where he is compelled by hunger, she combusts into a large pillar of flames, reducing her body to a white ash. The ash will gradually regenerate itself by consuming any raw material in its radius, ultimately allowing the woman to completely reform with a body identical to the previous one.- Magical Native American: Is described as being of Native-American descent.
- Playing with Fire: Bursts into flames in random intervals of time, usually after not being fed.
- Power Incontinence: Has no real control over when or how she explodes, but when she does, it is incredibly destructive.
- Real Men Eat Meat: Gender-Inverted; she's very clearly a woman, but demonstrates a preference for meat over other organic matter, especially live human subjects (which she is not fond of).
- Resurrective Immortality: After being disintegrated, her body reforms in the ashes, with neither permanent injuries nor memory of after her death.
SCP-274 - Graffito
SCP-274 is a form of paint that comes in many variable colors. When the paint is applied to a wall, it will begin to spread until it has completely covered the wall and any walls attached to it. Buildings that are inflicted with the paint appear will have large amounts of graffiti covering their exterior walls, the graffiti works themselves having many disturbing designs to them, and the buildings will eventually become instances of SCP-274-1. Infected buildings will exhibit signs of life, react to stimuli, and behave in a manner similar to many species of coral, luring passing civilians inside by emitting noises from within. As subjects search inside SCP-274-1, they will be recognized as food by instances of SCP-274-2, if any are present. When a victim enters any room inside 274-1, they will be met by SCP-274-2, entities resembling gas mask wearing humanoids that manifest from 274. 274-2 will then apprehend the victim and turn them into another instance of themselvesSCP-275 - Ironskin
SCP-275 is a woman in her mid 30s who claims to be 168 years old. While this woman appears to be biologically normal, her flesh has been noted to be invulnerable to all forms of physical damage the Foundation has inflicted upon it. The woman's condition prevents her from experiencing most forms of physical sensation, so she has actively engaged in self-destructive behavior in an effort to feel some form of stimuli.SCP-276 - Time Schooner
276 in the UK.
SCP-276 is a ship that is capable of travelling through time, taking on variable shapes, sizes, and mass, relevant to whatever era it exists in. The vessel's time-travelling abilities activate whenever someone enters its bridge and shifts the throttle to any of the gears listed on it, taking the subject throughout history. Currently, the Foundation is uncertain if the ship is capable of changing the course of history, but all of their research into the vessel is dedicated to making sure that it does not damage the timeline.SCP-277 - Chalkland
An indication of 277 being nearby.
SCP-277 is a populated town inhabited by apparitions "drawn" in white outlines, that appear to lack physical substantiality. The apparitions, designated SCP-277-1, seem to be images projected from children’s imaginations. The size, style in which they are "drawn", and the complexity of the projections are noted to vary from child to child. 277-1 are capable of interacting with each other, and frequently play with the children who projected them, their existence being regarded as normal by residents of the town.SCP-278 - A Large Mechanical Spider
SCP-278 is a mechanical device in the shape of an arachnid fashioned from steel, iron, and wood, and powered by a pair of car batteries. The device can be piloted via a cockpit in its abdomen, where the person sitting in said cockpit operates a series of tethers, pistons, and pulleys to instigate motion. The device is also capable of autonomous movement when no operator is seated in its cockpit, usually forcing the Foundation to disguise its escapes as publicity stunts.- Refuge in Audacity: When it escaped into a populated area the agents retrieving it claimed it was the centerpiece of a stage show and that the whole thing was a promotional stunt, then paraded it through the streets before taking it back.
- Spider Tank: SCP-278 is a giant mechanical vehicle in the shape of a spider, made of steel, iron, and banyan wood. It can be piloted by humans using mechanical controls. It is also capable of moving around on its own.
- Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The SCP is basically a fictionalized version of the very real La Princesse.
SCP-279 - Meandering Man
279 in the midst of his wandering.
SCP-279 is an average looking man in his early 40s who does not respond to any form of external stimuli, nor has he been observed to deviate from a standard neutral expression. The man seemingly spends the majority of his time wandering through what appears to be his hometown. The man has been reported to spontaneously disappear and reappear as he wanders, presenting unusual difficulties to agents required to monitor him. Direct skin contact with the man is prohibited, as he takes whoever is touching him with him when he disappears.SCP-280 - Eyes in the Dark
280 losing physical cohesion.
SCP-280 is a black, human-shaped mass with two large eyes on its head and hands with long and thin fingers. It moves slowly towards any humans that it is able to detect in a "sleepwalker pose", then proceeds to viciously attack them, using its hands to tear them apart. The entity is shown to have a firm dislike of all forms of light, retreating from its current area of manifestation if light is present.- Fog Feet: Described as having smoke where its legs should be.
- For the Evulz: Subverted; it rips people apart for absolutely no reason, but it also does not appear to be sentient, so it's unlikely to be acting out of real murderous intent.
- Living Shadow: Not quite, but it resembles one; it's even compared to a shadow by most witnesses.
- The Needless: It doesn't eat, drink, breathe or sleep. Why it rips people apart is anyone's guess.
- Psychic Radar: SCP-280 can detect the direction of the nearest human being without any apparent range limitation.
- Super Smoke: It resembles a mass of black smoke.
- Super-Strength: SCP-280 can rip steel items apart without straining itself.
- Weakened by the Light: It's weakened by light, and if someone shines a lot of light on it, it pretty much teleports away.
- Would Hurt a Child: Many of the people it messily ripped apart were children, although one account notes an exception; a nine-year-old boy was found to be the only survivor of a house that was visited by an instance of 280 while he was invited for a sleepover. All the residents of the house had been gruesomely torn to shreds, but this boy was apparently smart enough to shine a flashlight at it, causing it to disappear. He was less than okay, though.
SCP-281 - The Snooze Alarm
SCP-281 is a mechanical device composed of an alarm clock, a laptop, a kitchen timer, and a variety of additional components. The act of a subject setting the alarm to go off at a specific time and then pressing the snooze button when the alarm sounds will trigger the creation of SCP-281-1, a spherical temporal field that surrounds 281. Within 281-1, time passes at a highly accelerated rate, primarily at the equivalent of nine minutes inside compared to one millisecond outside. Any organic material present within this field when the device is activated is subject to normal biological processes over the period of time that lapses inside it. All biological processes will be instantly resynchronized when the alarm reaches zero seconds.SCP-282 - Ritual Devil Sticks
SCP-282 is a collection of juggling sticks recovered from Micronesia's Truk Atoll. Historical sources show that the sticks were originally used by natives of its island of origin as part of an elaborate ritual (known as “He Moves”) known to bring good luck for the following year. Anomalies including exceptionally long harvest seasons, several unknown species of fruit growing locally, reports of strange lights and noises, and packs of children who appeared identical, have been attributed to the sticks.SCP-283 - A Rock That Falls Sideways
The rock, currently restrained.
SCP-283 is a rather simple and relatively harmless anomaly. It's a granite rock that is pulled in the direction of magnetic East through unknown means whenever it gains momentum. The Foundation has deduced that the rock has been in a perpetual state of rolling or "falling" across the planet while affected by its unique gravitational state.SCP-284 - The Twins
SCP-284, consisting of SCP-284-1 and SCP-284-2, are a pair of dizygotic twins that share a single, fully-functional brain. While the twins have separate personalities, they are known to be able to share memories, skills, knowledge, physical sensations, and have shown limited levels of emotional synergy. It has been found that when separated by a significant distance, they have delayed responses from the other subject’s lobe.- Creepy Twins: Although they're quite harmless, hence why they are Safe-class.
- Half-Identical Twins: 284-1 is a girl, 284-2 is a boy.
- Hive Mind: They both share half of a brain between them. Each half is 50% larger than normal so they fill the entire cranium as a normal brain would.
- Twin Telepathy: What ever thoughts or sensations one of them experiences, the other will feel as well.
- Vague Age: Their DOB is censored, but the heights given for them imply that they are at least teenagers.
SCP-285 - A Hack Job
SCP-285 is a humanoid with no defined shape or internal structure, the exception being SCP-285-A, an Ethernet port which allows access to its internal database which consistently manifests itself on the object's back. 285's body changes sporadically, losing and gaining mass, height, and limbs, as well as the size and shape of the body parts changing consistently, which 285 claims that it can't control. If 285-A is accessed by a computer capable of wired connections between networks, a subject will be capable of accessing SCP-285-B, a collection of various files that may contain various texts, audio samples, cognito-hazards, and videos. Approximately 90% of these files have been corrupted.SCP-286 - The Brothers' Game
The board of 286.
SCP-286 is a carved stone game board that bears markings consistent with the Chinese game of Liubo, estimated to be dated to the Shang Dynasty. If a higher-order mammal touches the board, it will manifest 12 tokens on its surface. The board will also manifest SCP-286-1 and SCP-286-2, a pair of higher-order mammals who have suffered temporary alterations in patterns of movement, cognition, behavior, and vocalization. The subject initiates this state will become either an instance of 286-1 if they touched the board on an illuminated surface, or an instance of 286-2 if they touched it on a surface that is in shadow. The end of a game has 286-1 or 286-2 being brought back to normal, and the game's tokens, dice, and the subject's opposing player dematerializing. All observed subjects have shown a marked increase in spirituality and interest in religious subjects after being exposed to the game.SCP-287 - Clark's Third Favorite Sword
SCP-287.
SCP-287 is a Viking sword comprised primarily of iron, with several potentially anomalous components incorporated into its structure. The sword's anomalous effect can be observed when an electrical current is applied through the metallic portions of its hilt. The sword's internal components will begin to emit several frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and varying sounds invariably described as distressing by research staff and test subjects. The radiation produced by the sword causes all humans exposed to it to experience acute audio-visual hallucinations and severe headaches. These hallucination primarily take the form of translucent human-like figures in the immediate vicinity, invariably outfitted as members of an armed force.SCP-288 - The "Stepford Marriage" Rings
A closeup of the rings.
SCP-288 consists of a man's wedding band and a woman's wedding ring. When either ring is worn by a person of its respective gender, that person is compelled to act like a stereotypically ideal man or woman. Those affected by the ring claim to not be in control of their actions. If two affected humans are brought into the same vicinity, they will recreate the idea of a "perfect" marriage, to the point where those affected will willingly take abuse from their partner.- Brainwashed: A person wearing one of these rings is brainwashed into acting like a perfect wife or husband.
- Emotion Control: When an appropriate woman wears one of the "female" rings, she displays very few (if any) negative emotions.
- Domestic Abuse: The rings turning the wearers into cheerful obedient spouses means they will take any manner of abuse without talking back or defending themselves. The addendum revealed that the history of the rings shows two reported cases of domestic abuse.
- Driven to Suicide: The addendum of the article reported that SCP-288 has been linked with 13-15 cases of suicide.
- Extreme Doormat: Anyone wearing the ring will take any kind of abuse from their spouse without defending themselves.
- Feminine Women Can Cook: As part of the "perfect housewife" image, a woman wearing the female ring will suddenly be able to cook perfectly made, stereotypically American foods like apple pie or mac and cheese.
- Friend to All Children: Regardless of gender, subjects that wear the rings become good with kids and express desire to have children of their own if they don't already.
- Happiness Is Mandatory: Subjects wearing the rings display very few negative emotions outwardly, but will feel horrible inside, as if they are not in control of their own life.
- Mind-Control Device: When a man or a woman who is in a relationship puts on the ring appropriate to their sex, they start acting like an idealized 1950's U.S. version of themselves. Women start acting like perfect housewives, including performing domestic skills like an expert. Men act like an idealized husband, including being a hard worker and good with kids.
- Stay in the Kitchen: If a woman puts on the female ring, she will stop wanting to work outside the home and will start acting like the ideal housewife and mother.
- Stepford Smiler: Those who wore the ring described themselves being trapped without any control of their lives after removing it. Extended periods with SCP-288 will lead to depression and personal displacement.
- Supernaturally-Validated Trans Person: Trans men are affected by the male ring, but not the female ring. The reverse is true for trans women.
- Supreme Chef: A woman wearing the female ring will be able to perfectly cook and bake delicious food, regardless of how good or bad she was at it before.
- Textile Work Is Feminine: A woman who wears the female ring will gain instinctive knowledge of how to sew and knit.
- Til Murder Do Us Part: Throughout the rings' history, they have been associated with upwards of 25 cases of homicide.
- Workaholic: A man wearing the male ring will work abnormally long hours at his job without complaining.
SCP-289 - Inertial Amplifier
SCP-289.
SCP-289 is a black, irregularly shaped mass of crystalized hematite, with trace amounts of aluminum, phosphorous, and water analyzed in its interior. The mass has the unique property of intensifying the effects of inertia over all objects in a 1.6 meter radius of it over time. Objects that remain immobile will become more and more difficult to move, while objects that maintain a constant speed will become very difficult to stop.SCP-290 - The Picasso Machine
SCP-290 is a hollow metallic sphere with an opening cut into one side that has been welded to four metal posts. Any subject who should enter the sphere through its opening will have their anatomical structure significantly altered, with their limbs and facial features relocated at random. Anyone who leaves the machine will express severe discomfort with moving and breathing, the majority of them dying from respiratory problems.- Body Horror: After a person enters SCP-290 it relocates their limbs and facial features to random parts of their body, but without affecting functionality. It also changes their internal organs, blood vessels and nerves to support the body parts' new locations.
- Healing Factor: While a person is undergoing bodily reconfiguration inside SCP-290, it grants them rapid healing as part of the process to repair the harm it causes them.
SCP-291 - Disassembler/Reassembler
SCP-291 is a nearly featureless steel box the height of a small building. The box contains a large door that opens upwards, similar to a garage door, on one of its sides. The room inside the box contains a console board, a display screen, and what has been described as a Plexiglas 'coffin', suitable in size for most humans. When a living subject (human or otherwise) is laid in the coffin, it will undergo a process of disassembly and reassembly. All subjects who have been reassembled have their digestion systems cleared and are completed nude and shaven.SCP-292 - Egg Timer of Déjà Vu
292 with its sand at the bottom.
SCP-292 is a sixty-second brass hourglass. It is believed that when the glass is flipped over, a process is started where, if the glass is flipped again before its sand runs out, time will reverse itself to the point just before it was initially flipped, proceeding to flow forward as the glass were never flipped. Déjà vu is a common side effect of this process, but prolonged exposure to the glass' effects can cause nausea, migraines, vertigo, hallucinations, seizures, and symptoms consistent with temporal disjunction.SCP-293 - Obsession
SCP-293 is a phenomenon that is primarily visible in its effect on human behavior, and is only detectable in very advanced cases as a very slight auditory disturbance. 293 “bonds” to physical items, in most cases being small and lightweight in nature. 293 causes those affected to become progressively obsessed with the item it is “bonded” to. Subjects will rapidly become withdrawn and antisocial, and react violently to anyone attempting to touch or remove the item. A subject's actions toward their bonded item will begin to take on “parental” aspects, with the subject rocking, cleaning, and attending to the object as if it were not an inanimate object. Attempts to interrupt these rituals or remove the item will either cause the subject to enter an extreme state of fear, depression, or anger, which persists for an extended period of time, or enter a violent, fearful, depressed, or hysterical mental state. Subjects will often commit suicide after several days of separation from their affected item, or if the item is lost.SCP-294 - The Coffee Machine
294 at the time of its recovery.
SCP-294 is a coffee machine that is able to dispense almost any sort of matter that can currently exist in liquid form. The machine is able to dispense liquid ranging from beverages to bodily fluids to hazardous chemicals. It is advised that Foundation staff be precise when entering what kind of liquid they want from 294, as the machine is known to take some of its requests rather literally.- Alternate Universe: Averted. 294 can't reach into alternate realities or into the past or future. Tests to acquire everything from anti-water to Thomas Jefferson's blood returned with "Out of range."
- Cure for Cancer: Subverted. A request was made to remove a D-Class' leukemia, and while 294 was able to do so, the cancer recurred just two weeks later.
- Defense Mechanism Superpower: It can apparently provide drinks that temporarily endow its drinker with skills that they don't normally possess. This only occurred once (during a containment breach), and cannot be reproduced, leading to speculation that it can only do this when in danger itself.
- Elemental Baggage: 294's drinks don't materialize out of nowhere, as they have to exist in liquid form. This means that asking for a cup of "anti water" won't work, nor will "diamond" (diamond doesn't have a liquid form; carbon does), and asking for the secretions of 075 will cause that SCP to spontaneously produce that secretion for 294 to vend. This can be exploited in a beneficial way, as asking for a cup of leukemia from a specific person will rid that person of leukemia temporarily, or exploited in a negative way, as asking for a "cup of Joe" demonstrates.
- Insubstantial Ingredients: It will even comply with requests for abstract concepts.
- One researcher asked for "a cup of music", and received a clear, sparkling, vaguely alcohol-tasting fluid that allowed the drinker to dance with an impressive amount of fluidity.
- Another researcher asked for "his life story", and received a dark, viscous liquid. After drinking it, the researcher locked himself into his room, not emerging until 48 hours later, 538-page autobiography in hand.
- The Defense Mechanism Superpower stated above was when a desperate researcher asked it for "a cup of pertinent medical knowledge" so he could save his fellow researchers. SCP-294 complied, but after the disaster was dealt with, and the researchers stabilized, the researcher found he no longer had the "pertinent medical knowledge".
- Literal Genie: It can dispense any liquid that is in range (even fictional ones), but do not use "Joe" as a synonym for coffee, especially if your name is "Joe". Another incident was someone requesting "Surprise Me" as their drink. It produced a cup of superheated water... which then exploded in said researcher's face. The researcher said that this was indeed quite surprising.
- Logical Weakness: It can only produce things that can potentially (including anomalously) be dispensed as a liquid. It can't dispense diamond, because diamond is by definition a solid form of carbon; if it were to be liquid it would not be diamond. 'Liquid carbon' is acceptable, even though carbon doesn't liquify under non-anomalous conditions at typical ambient pressures.
- Made of Indestructium: The cups dispensed by the machine appear to be just paper, but withstand liquids such as SCP-075's acid, superheated water, and liquid carbon (an element which normally doesn't even melt except under high pressure).
- Telepathy: It's fairly clear that it has this power, with its ability to consistently reproduce the best drink its operator had ever tried. In addition, when asked to provide a drink that Cassy would like, it produced a paper cup with an image of a chocolate-banana milkshake printed on the side, meaning it was able to ascertain what Cassy was (a living drawing) without being directly given that information, and alter its output accordingly.
- Tempting Fate: The aforementioned "cup of Joe" experiment, done because another agent wanted "to see what it would do".
- Too Awesome to Use: 294 can produce the perfect drink, which is highly discouraged because the person who ordered it was Driven to Suicide because he found everything to be one big letdown after drinking it.
SCP-295 - Cauterpillers
A single specimen of 295.
SCP-295 is a collection of caterpillars capable of creating an unidentifiable substance that has several unique qualities attributed to it. The substance (SCP-295-1) is a viscous fluid that possesses natural bioluminescent qualities of varying intensity. The substance also holds the ability to cause violent combustion in any flammable object it comes into contact with. Any matter destroyed by the substance leaves no ash or other byproducts behind.SCP-296 - Armed Containment Site-03
The ice figures seated in the amphitheater.
SCP-296 is an amphitheater located in a chamber below Armed Containment Site-03's previous location, around which are seated 56 humanoid and made of a substance similar at first glance to ice. Several D Classes were lost in attempts to examine the structure and its figures. Said D Classes personnel were discovered to have died or to have been brutally maimed, with several of them being "merged" together.SCP-297 - "Steely Dan"
SCP-297 is a transparent plastic vibrator, with an internal structure that has been heavily altered, via its standard 6 V power supply being converted into what appears to be a miniature plutonium powered nuclear reactor. When turned to the highest intensity setting (labeled "suicide"), the device's vibration frequency swiftly increases to upwards of 200,000 kHz. If the upper portion of the device is touched to any solid material, the device will change frequency to one that causes a positive harmonic feedback loop in the object, causing it to lose cohesion within sixty seconds of continual contact. This will invariably kills any organisms that it is exposed to.SCP-298 - The Blood Organ
SCP-298 is a chamber organ of indeterminate manufacture believed to have been created sometime in the 1400s, in the then Holy Roman Empire. When played, the organ induces all blood within human subjects to expel itself from the subjects' bodies, while simultaneously assuming the consistency of cellulose. While this effect is taking place, surviving subjects report being paralyzed by a tremendous amount of physical force. The effect only lasts while the organ is being played, but they prove fatal in most cases, correlated closely with the duration that 298 is played.SCP-299 - Infectious Tree
SCP-299 are trees with black, pointed branches, which they utilize to grab and impale humans and animals that approach them. Any other tree or plant that makes contact with 299 is converted into another one via tendril-like vines that will ensnare them. Animals that get matter from the trees under their skin will also transform into similar trees.- Combat Tentacles: SCP-299 have vine-like tendrils that are up to 2 meters long. They use them to grab their prey when they get too close to it.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: The trees use their Combat Tentacles to grab prey and impale them on its sharp lower branches in order to assimilate them.
- Kill It with Fire: If any examples of SCP-299 are discovered in the wild they are to be destroyed by firebombing them into charcoal.
- The Virus: If any part of an instance SCP-299 (even a single cell) touches or is inserted into a plant or animal, it will change the plant or animal into another SCP-299. The total time required depends on how large the plant or animal is.
300- 349
SCP-300 - "A World in a Bottle"
The bottle prior to containment.
SCP-300 is an antique glass perfume bottle (SCP-300-1) containing an unidentified colorless liquid (SCP-300-2). When a single drop of 300-2 is extracted from 300-1 and viewed through a microscope, an animate scene becomes visible. While no two drops have shown the same scene, these scenes generally take the form of a pastoral or woodland scene consistent with those of Victorian-Era England.SCP-301 - Teleporter
SCP-301 is a region 3 meters in diameter located in the middle of a national park. Any physical matter that enters it temporarily disappears from existence, then reappears in another location. The location of teleportation is completely randomized: When two Foundation agents accidentally entered the region, one was sent to a desolate desert and the other wound up in an area of deep water.- Blind Jump: How it transports things.
SCP-302 - Ant Sculpture
302 with fallen flowerheads on the leaf.
SCP-302 is a tin sculpture depicting two ants carrying a leaf. If a subject touches the the sculpture, they will discover the sudden manifestation of a single ant on their person. Every continuous day after direct skin contact is made with the sculpture, the subject will discover the amount of ants not only greatly increasing, but the ants themselves vary in appearance and species, growing larger and more deadly. The ants will not cease manifesting until they kill the subject.- Cruel and Unusual Death: Anyone who touches the sculpture ends up being stung to death by ants over the course of a few days.
SCP-303 - The Doorman
SCP-303, dubbed the "Doorman", has been described as a nude, sexless, emaciated humanoid whose face is primarily dominated by an inhumanly large set of teeth. The creature primarily communicates through a constant wheezing noise. It is capable of manifesting behind any possible door or entrance when a person steps in front of it, where it will remain for an indefinite amount of time. The person in front of the door won't be able to open it, as the Doorman generates a cognitohazardous property that instantly induces intense fear and paranoia in whoever is on the other side of its current door.- Brown Note: Anyone who sees it is instantly terrified.
- The Dreaded: While not to the same extent as 173, it scares the bejeesus out of anyone in its presence. People would rather be stabbed to death than step out and confront it.
- Eyeless Face: It doesn't have any eyes, just a really huge mouth.
- Hell Is That Noise: In-universe; people gain an extreme sense of dread whenever they hear it wheezing.
- Humanoid Abomination: It's human-shaped and insanely terrifying.
- Lean and Mean: Described as "emaciated".
- Logical Weakness: Terrifying as it may be, it's only one entity and is only capable of manifesting behind one door at a time. The Foundation thus makes sure all rooms on the site have two doors spaced apart far enough so that personnel can escape if it appears behind one door.
- Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: It isn't so much contained as predictable; the Foundation isn't even quite sure where it came from, they've just developed protocols for dealing with it.
- No Biological Sex: Referred to as "sexless".
- Noodle Implements: It has a habit of collecting things, which disappear when it teleports away, and SCP speculates that it keeps them in the storage room it has claimed as its own. The items include various chemicals, several sets of surgical equipment, a gasoline-powered generator, a "cryotube", two research cadavers, and a container of powdered coffee creamer.
- Obliviously Evil: The description reveals that SCP-303 doesn't intentionally try to inflict intense fear in people. Indeed, it actually just teleports away when people see its entire body, implying that the creature doesn't want to be seen and is never recorded trying to cause harm to people.
- Primal Fear: Causes this in a lot people. One D-class even chose to get herself stabbed to death than go through a door it was guarding.
- Vader Breath: The only noise it makes is a loud, terrifying wheezing sound.
SCP-304 - The Signal
SCP-304 is a radio signal which has been transmitting a list of names and their associated titles since it was discovered. The data consists primarily of a list of world leaders, detailed in chronological order. The signal is transcribed via Morse Code with "King William IV" and initially proceeds through a list of English monarchs, then moving onto American presidents. The signal's format will change to ASCII upon reaching "President Lyndon B Johnson".SCP-305 - The Whisperer
SCP-305 is a rock formation of humanoid size and shape. When viewed by a sentient observer, 305 appears as a mobile, animate humanoid of indeterminate sex. 305 will initially ingratiate itself with the subject by whispering compliments, causing the subject to experience feelings of friendliness and trust toward 305. The subject will then begin to hear many whispering voices emanating from the humanoid, although recording equipment in the area picks up nothing and the phenomenon is observed even in subjects who have been deaf from birth. The whispers will soon become critical, insulting the subject or undermine the subject’s self esteem. 305’s humanoid manifestation will kill the subject hours after the whispering voices stop.SCP-306 - The Frogs
Dr. Stan ████ after becoming infected.
SCP-306 is a fungus that transforms human subjects into frogs. The fungus is contracted through inhalation of its spores or by direct physical contact. When infecting a human, the fungus secretes several previously unknown enzymes. The enzymes catalyze an unknown process that drastically alters the structure of the subject's cells, resulting in the formation of several extra organelles of indeterminate functionality. Initially, the infected subjects rapidly lose weight, followed by the development of abnormal pigmentation and increased water permeability of the skin, ending with shrinkage their organ systems and reshaping of the skeletal system. The process ultimately lasts for several months, and subjects infected will remain cognizant of their situation.- And I Must Scream: Instances of SCP-306-1 keep their intelligence and are entirely aware of their situation.
- Festering Fungus: SCP-306 is a fungus that turns infected humans into frog-like animals.
- Not So Similar: While they appear to be frogs, they correspond to no known species of frog and their internal organs remain similar to those of humans.
- The Virus: Anyone infected by the fungus remains extremely infectious after turning into a frog.
SCP-307 - Carnivorous Ivy
A cluster of 307.
SCP-307 is a vine similar in appearance to the common English ivy, save for the presence of thorns on the stems, and the tendency of its leaves to exhibit a purple hue. The vine appears to be carnivorous, and seems to exhibit some degree of intelligence. 307 will paralyze a warm-blooded victim on contact, and then liquify and drain all internal organs, musculature, and blood. The mechanisms by which the vine does this are presently unknown.- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a species of ivy that feeds on animals.
- The Immune: It is highly resistant to any attempt at poisoning it.
- It Can Think: It appears to have a rudimentary form of intelligence, as it will grow three vines rapidly towards a nearby animal in order to trap it and then feed on it.
- Kill It with Fire: This is the Foundation's primary means of killing it wherever it is found.
- Vampiric Draining: Upon ensnaring a victim, it will liquefy and drain their internal organs and blood.
SCP-308 - Aztec Burial Sarcophagus
SCP-308 is an ornate coffin of Aztec origin. Under normal conditions, the coffin is inert, but it exerts an animating effect on organisms placed inside it. Healthy, injured, and even deceased subjects are transformed, but superficial subjects remain unchanged, retaining injuries and conditions sustained prior to exposure. Despite the nature and seriousness of the trauma, however, subjects appear alive and responsive to the extent their injuries allow. Subjects in this altered state will neither succumb to an injury nor heal any wound, no matter how minor. In addition they display a dependence on the coffin similar to addiction.- Back from the Dead: It is able to resurrect dead organisms that have intact hearts, as shown with one of the test subjects, an agent, who died in the line of duty.
- Beat Still, My Heart: An intact heart placed inside the SCP will continue to beat, even without a body to contain it.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: Any living thing placed in the SCP cannot be killed as long as their heart remains intact. Once the heart is destroyed, they die and decay normally.
SCP-309 - The Plush Toy
The toy sitting idle.
SCP-309 is a small stuffed animal that seems to have been turned completely inside out. When in contact with a living subject, the toy carries dangerous and life-threatening qualities. A subject who lightly brushes 309 with a finger or a similar portion of the body will display severe, non-localized discomfort for tens of minutes. When the toy is pressed firmly against a subject, the subject will be violently and painfully turned inside-out over the course of five to ten seconds. This process is not immediately fatal, but it is irreversible and universally considered excruciatingly painful.- And I Must Scream: Anyone who's turned inside-out by its effect cannot be changed back and are left in constant pain. Fortunately, some of them actually die.
- Body Horror: Anyone who presses it against their skin is violently and painfully turned inside-out.
- Creepy Doll: If the fact that it turns people inside out wasn't enough, it's pretty darn weird-looking, especially since it's inside-out too.
- Cute Is Evil: Kind of. It's an adorably ugly plush toy that turns people inside-out, but it doesn't appear to be actively malevolent. Or alive.
- Living Toy: Averted. Unlike most of the creepy toys from the SCP Foundation, it does not appear to be alive.
- Painful Transformation: Being turned inside-out.
SCP-310 - Eternal Flame
310 producing its flame.
SCP-310 is a candle with a tapered tip consisting of 7 mm of wick. When the candle is not immersed in an oxygen-free medium, the wick produces a steady flame. This flame can be extinguished through most conventional means, but it will immediately reappear on the removal of the inhibiting factor, behaving much like a standard "trick candle". Any flammable or semi-flammable substance that comes into contact with the candle's flame becomes ignited with a slow spreading fire. Unlike 310's flame, this fire cannot be extinguished by any known means other than exhausting its fuel supply.- Cruel and Unusual Death: If a person gets a body part exposed to it, they will slowly burn to death unless the affected part can be amputated, as the flame cannot be put out by any means.
- Magic Fire: "Anomalous" fire, rather — anything flammable or semi-flammable that's touched by its flame will burn, even underwater or in a vacuum, until all available fuel is consumed.
SCP-311 - Tactile Displacement Gloves
SCP-311 is a pair of black gloves that exhibit extreme flexibility, allowing them to fit every hand size available. When worn, the gloves seem innocuous and present no danger to the wearer. A subject responds normally to pain inflicted on any part of the body, except the hands wearing the gloves. All the trauma inflicted onto the gloved hands of the subject will be carried over to another individual, usually the individual that the subject is focusing on at the time.SCP-312 - Atmospheric Jellyfish
312 disguised as a cloud formation.
SCP-312 is a creature composed of thin tissues and filled with atmospheric gases. It typically floats several meters above the ground, and is capable of creating a cloud around itself by releasing water vapor and manipulating air currents, which it uses as camouflage. Within the cloud, 312 itself appears visually similar to a large jellyfish. It preys on large mammals, showing a strong preference for humans.- Combat Tentacles: After SCP-312 sucks a victim into the air with its atmospheric vortex it stings it with its tentacles and paralyzes it, then digests it.
- Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Subverted. SCP-231-7 takes it up as her replacement steed when she awakens as Conquest, but quits her position anyway out of protest for 343 not saving her from Procedure 110 Montauk.
- Living Gasbag: SCP-312 is a large jellyfish-like creature that floats in the air by heating atmospheric gasses within itself. It can release water vapor and control air currents to create a cloud around itself as camouflage. It hunts humans and floats above them. If the human looks up at the creature, it will suck the human up into itself with a wind vortex and consume it.
- Very Loosely Based on a True Story: Sightings of so-called "atmospheric beasts" are actually quite common in real life, though there are no reports of them actively harming humans. They are often described as resembling giant, flying sea creatures, not unlike jellyfish.
SCP-313 - Powerful Hand Dryer
313 fastened to the wall.
SCP-313 is a World Dryer Corp Model A electric hand dryer. The dryer has been found to be utterly indestructible and impervious to all forces. When the dryer is mounted on a wall and connected to a power source, it emits a stream of superheated plasma, the force and temperature of the stream increasing exponentially until the object tears loose from its mounting and/or propels itself through the surface.- Blown Across the Room: Or rather across the country; it has a chance of producing superheated plasma that propels it over massive distances.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: It's practically immune to any damage.
SCP-314 - Motion-Seeking Blade
SCP-314 is an obelisk that is highly reflective and metallic in appearance, with tapered edges sharpened to the molecular level. The object is capable of levitation and extremely swift motion, though it lacks any visible means of locomotion. While there is no conclusive evidence that 314 carries intelligence, the object is indeed sentient and is extremely reactive to any motion or vibration within a 52-meter radius. The object reacts to all motion within its "kill radius" by impacting with the source of movement, and it will continue to react in this manner until the triggering object no longer moves, has exited the kill radius, or has been reduced to pieces small enough to be ignored.- Implausible Fencing Powers: Will neatly slice anything that enters its "kill radius". Tennis balls? No problem. Bullets? Easy. Hundreds of gallons of water? The blade whirls around so fast that it actually dries the area immediately surrounding the blade, effectively "cutting" through the water!
- "Instant Death" Radius: First established as a 50-meter radius. When someone got skewered by toeing the 50-meter line, it was later amended to "approximately 50 meters". Now, it's somewhere between 50 and 52 meters, just to be on the safe side.
- Non-Indicative Name: It's actually shaped like an obelisk, rather than a conventional blade.
- Parrying Bullets: Can hit bullets and other fast-moving targets, though this may cause it to have to break the sound barrier or exist in multiple places at once.
- Sharpened to a Single Atom: The blade is described as "sharpened to a molecular level".
SCP-315 - The Recorded Man
Two 315 discs, with glyphs and markings obscured.
SCP-315 is a DVD that, when played, displays video footage of a man (SCP-315-1) in a living room. The man is cognizant of the nature of his existence as a recording, being fully aware that he is being displayed on a screen or monitor, and can reliably identify the type, size, and color of the device on which he is shown. When directly asked questions specifically regading his nature, the man does not give a straight answer, preferring to draw the viewer into discussion or debates.SCP-316 - Color-Draining Light
SCP-316.
SCP-316 is a bronze lamp that emits nearly opaque beams of white light. Any non-reflective surface that is exposed to these beams lose their color and turn gray, with multiple symptoms such as nausea and depression in those who resist exposure to the beams. The effects can also be spread by organisms, both internally and externally.SCP-317 - Cretaceous Physicist
SCP-317 is currently the corpse of a sapient reptilian creature tentatively identified as a previously-unknown species of pachycephalosaur. The creature was shown to wear clothing made from synthetic polymers as well as corrective lenses. The creature was also largely herbivorous and had prehensile digits. The corpse's personal effects, designated SCP-317-2, include a tunic, a robe, a tool belt, six tools, an oxygen mask, three empty oxygen tanks, a fire-damaged document pouch and its damaged contents, and a fire-damaged digital camera whose contents were unrecoverable. The corpse was also found near SCP-317-3, the fire-damaged remains of what is believed to have been a primitive time machine 317 was attempting to repair when it was taken into custody.SCP-318 - Soul Press
SCP-318 appears to be a small, crude rotary printing press, with a great deal of additional machinery attached to it. When a human, either alive or dead for less than 6 hours, is placed in the input box and the lid is closed, the device activates via an undetermined power source, and will remain active for approximately 5 minutes per use, with the exact time seemingly dependent upon the mass and physical condition of the subject. When 318 ceases activity, all covers will unlock and the test subject will no longer be present in the input box. A scroll (designated SCP-318-1) will bw present in the output box, containing the memories and consciousness of the test subject, who is able to communicate through writing and drawins when the scroll is at least partially unrolled.SCP-319 - A Curious Device
319's control panel.
SCP-319 is a mechanical device constructed circa 1894, consisting primarily of 12 interlocking rings assembled in an 8-meter spherical formation. These rings allow for a clockwork mechanism driven by electric motors to rotate each ring separately on each axis. The purpose of the assembly appears to be the precise placement of 12 instances of SCP-319-1, anomalous mineral specimens, in relation to each other. Theses specimens are utilized to prevent the growth of SCP-319-2, a vacuum that annihilates anything that comes into contact with it, from increasing size.- Apocalypse How: A solid X-4 Universal Annihilation held back by kludged Victorian-era technology. The horror angle comes from it being based on the possibility that such a thing could actually occur: a vacuum metastability event would spread through the universe at light-speed and rewrite its fundamental forces.
- Asshole Victim: SCP-319's creator, Sir Bandon, was a racist Insufferable Genius in his entries, just in case you felt bad about him vaporizing himself with his own creation.
- The Cameo: The fellow explorer Sir Bandon mentions corresponding with is almost certainly SCP-1867, Lord Blackwood, back when he was human.
- Continuity Nod: To SCP-1867 (though the name is redacted). It's also in the same mythos as "He-Who-Made-Dark"note .
- Gone Horribly Right: Sir Bandon wanted to travel outside reality and meet the gods face to face. He didn't consider whether he would be able to exist where they are.
- That Was the Last Entry: It was found with the journal of Sir Bandon Lawhead-Smythe. The journal says how he created it and planned to use it to "open a doorway beyond our universe" so he could "walk across the threshold" and meet some Cthulhu Mythos-type deities. It ends with "Once I have completed writing this entry, I shall don my protective suit, pass through the locks into the airless interior of the vault where the black door awaits me. When I next write in this journal, I shall have traveled father than any other man on the face of this Earth."
SCP-320 - Higgs Field Acceleration Manipulator
320 demonstrating its effects on a house.
SCP-320 is a glass sphere which affects normal Euclidean space when accelerated along a line of motion. As the sphere accelerates, its mass and gravitational effect on matter and space around it will compound exponentially in relation to its acceleration. Experiments of light refraction and computed tomography scans on the sphere have proven that it contains a hollow vacuum. Any object struck by the sphere while it is in motion experiences a simple collision as if it was a hollow marble, unlike the effects of being struck by a singularity. No physical tests have been able to explain why the sphere reacts with spacetime as it does.SCP-321 - Child of Man
See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps 001 To 999.SCP-322 - "Grow Your Own Castle" Kit
SCP-322 is a cardboard box with the words "Grow Your Own Castle Kit" and a stylized cartoon similar to those in circulation in the 1950's on it. The box contains a simple pamphlet and a glass jar filled with large grains of sand. The pamphlet states a simple set of instructions that, when followed correctly, will supposedly cause a castle to grow. When these directions are followed, a large stone fortress will indeed sprout in the location that the "seeds" were planted. The completed castle will, on certain occasions, house a number of servants who will show loyalty to the planter.- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a kit that allows the user to grow their own castle.
- Fantastic Flora: It includes seeds that grow into large stone castles instead of plants.
SCP-323 - Wendigo Skull
The skull sitting in a temporary testing chamber.
SCP-323 is the skull of an unidentified cervid with a pair of antlers growing from its sides. The skull also displays the ability to react to aural, tactile, and visual stimuli. The skull also shows evidence of sapience and sentience as it targets of specific members of Foundation personnel, instigating various attempts to breach containment, and showing a violent reaction towards speakers of the French and English languages. The skull is also capable of limited locomotion, typically in the form of small movements and vibrations. Those who wear the skull will be transformed into a human-eating wendigo.SCP-324 - Eulogy Shrub
SCP-324 is a small evergreen shrub that produces small white flowers and unusual berries. The berries produced by 324 are designated SCP-324-1. These berries are edible, with a flavor reported as tart and mildly sweet. Any mammalian cadaver buried near the roots of the shrub will allow for the growth of a berry. When a berry is eaten, each individual sample will allow the eater to experience a vivid re-enactment a seemingly random memory of the deceased mammal.- Memory Jar: The shrub's berries each contain a random memory from a dead mammal buried in its soil. Eating a berry allows the subject to experience the memory contained within.
SCP-325 - The Detergent
SCP-325 is a small bottle of green, semi-viscous laundry detergent. The substance functions in an identical way to normal detergent, and when used, will produce results of laundry being much higher in quality, to the point where test subjects will prefer to wear a garment washed with 325 those washed in normal detergent. When a 325-washed garment is worn, the subject wearing it will soon succumb to extreme paranoid delusions related to mysophobia. This will often induce ritualistic behaviors in the subject, and has lead to subjects harming themselves through excessive cleaning methods, such as placing their hands in boiling water and ingesting bleach.SCP-326 - A Chinese Peasant
SCP-326 is a human woman around 65-70 years old who has been subjected to significant bodular modifications by an anomalous form of technology. When inactive, these modifications are detectable only by a shift in the woman's mass and the presence of keloid scarring along her arms, legs, and spinal column. When the woman becomes agitated, her scars rupture lengthwise and the components of a structure emerge from within. The structure resembles an exoskeleton made from human bone, and bestows 326 with enhanced strength and speed. She has demonstrated the ability to (when panicking) throw two 100-kg security guards over distances greater than 4 m, and to travel over 20 meters to a designated panic room in 2.8 seconds.- Harmless Freezing: SCP-326 was a Human Popsicle for more than fifty years. She not only survived, but revived on her own without assistance.
- Human Popsicle: After being biologically modified, SCP-326 was placed in cryogenic suspension for more than 50 years before being released. As a result, even though she is biologically 65-70 years old, she is more than 120 years old chronologically.
- Super-Strength: SCP-326 can throw 200 kilograms of weight more than four meters. Her strength has not been formally measured and is probably greater than this.
SCP-327 - The Mermaid
Rather than appearing as a traditional depiction of mermaids, SCP-327 is a female specimen of a mammalian species resembling a manatee. She bears flippers with fingers and opposable thumbs, and the skull and facial features of a human. 327 is sapient and capable of speaking simple English sentences, though she experiences significant difficulty in with pronunciation and comprehension of concepts. The manatee often spends her time vocalizing songs similar to those of cetaceans. These vocalizations are noted to induce rapid reproduction of microorganisms, but are also regarded as highly unpleasant for humans to listen, often resulting in severe headaches and audio-visual hallucinations in humans, persisting for 6-12 hours. Those affected will often report feelings of claustrophobia, an aversion to water, and occasional sensations similar to that of drowning.- Green Thumb: Her vocalizations cause algae and plankton within a kilometer of her to reproduce at incredibly high rates.
- Hell Is That Noise: Her vocalizations have been described as highly unpleasant to listen to, and it also causes audio-visual hallucinations and headaches in humans for 6-12 hours.
- Our Mermaids Are Different: In this case, she appears to be a hybrid of a manatee and a human.
- You No Take Candle: She talks like this due to her limited knowledge of English.
SCP-328 - Alien Disc
SCP-328 is a smooth disc composed of an unknown crystalline compound. The bonding pattern of the disc is highly organized in a manner reminiscent of a data storage/retrieval device. SCP-328-01, a data file retrieved from the disc, seems to confirm this theory. 328 is susceptible to kinetic damage, but if it is broken, it reforms itself from its largest remaining fragment, and does so over a period ranging from one week to six months, depending on the severity of the damage. When used with a reader, the disc produces binary data. Multiple cryptographic analyses of the code produced indicate that at it may be a description of data contained on the disc.SCP-329 - The Cancer Garden
SCP-329 is a room in the cellar of a derelict building that houses six folding beds with IV stands and leather restraints. Five of these beds are occupied by people designated SCP-329-01 through -05, and each of them have been discovered to have cancer. Every 24 hours, at approximately 4 am, 329 undergoes Event 329-A, wherein the door closes with great force and cannot be reopened until the event passes. 329-A lasts for approximately 20 minutes, after which occupants are apparently unharmed, bearing no incisions or external trauma. The tumors within, however, have been altered through their shape and direction of growth being altered.- And I Must Scream: The five occupants of the room which has been designated as SCP-329 are in advanced stages of cancer and are unable to speak, and are also in great pain. The cancer also never progresses further while inside the room, so they cannot die.
- Body Horror: Any people inside the room during Event 329-A develop cancer, and after Event 329-A, anyone inside the room who already had cancer has their cancer tumors altered radically.
- Religion of Evil: The Church of the Gardener appears to worship the cancer caused by the SCP and regularly subjects people to its effects.
SCP-330 - Take Only Two
SCP-330 is a small stainless steel bowl filled with individually wrapped pieces of candy. Taped to the side of the bowl is a handwritten note that reads “Take no more than two, please!!” When more than two pieces of candy are removed, regardless of the means involved, the offender instantly has their hands severed at the wrists by an unknown method. After 24 hours, the bowl's count “resets”, and additional candy can be removed once again.- An Arm and a Leg: If a person attempts to remove more than two pieces of candy within 24 hours, they will have their hands severed at the molecular level.
- But Thou Must!: Testers are unable to avoid reading the note on the candy jar's side, and even if they approach from the opposite direction, they're aware of its request.
SCP-331 - "Tumbles"
SCP-331 is a red plastic cat collar that has the word “Tumbles” painted on it with yellow paint. When the collar is fastened round the neck of a dead cat (hereafter SCP-331-1), the cat is resurrected with no initial adverse effects. The collar does not halt the cat's decomposition process, as fur and skin still rot at a regular pace. The cat, which is amiable to subjects in its radius and will answer to "Tumbles", shows no signs of distress during the decomposition process.- Animate Dead: When it's placed around the neck of a dead cat, said cat reanimates, and it responds to "Tumbles".
- Raising the Steaks: It reanimates any dead cat it's placed on as a "zombie cat".
SCP-332 - The 1976 Kirk Lonwood High School Marching Band
See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the folder Ad Astra per Aspera.SCP-333 - City in a Symphony
SCP-333 are 1,618 identical copies of a musical score of unknown origin and title. When the score is performed by an orchestra of sufficient size, this causes the manifestation of SCP-333-B. 333-B is a metropolis devoid of any signs of life, past or present. For as long as a performance of the score continues, 333-B may be traversed. Following the cessation of the performance, the city dematerializes, along with anything that has entered it at the time. The city is inhabitated by SCP-333-C, a highly aggressive entity of varying appearance and composition. All manifestations of 333-C have proven much more durable than its composition would suggest, requiring considerable firepower to terminate outside of the city, and possessing apparent invincibility within its confines.SCP-334 - Stellar Vulpine
SCP-334 is a small cloud of superheated plasma shaped as a red fox. Its body appears similar to waves of steam or fire, and has a negligible measurable mass, but no central body to speak of. The cloud apparently believes it is actually a fox, and displays several normal vulpine behaviors. It derives 'nourishment' from converting matter into plasma and absorbing it, taking in small amounts of energy normally through conversion of air into ionized gas.SCP-335 - One Hundred and Fifty 3.5" Floppy Disks
Disk #86, named "Clarence".
SCP-335 is a set of 150 3.5" floppy disks. Each disk appears to have an infinite amount of storage space available, but it is currently unknown whether the space is truly unlimited, or is simply too large to measure. All 150 disks are found to collectively contain the entire contents of the Internet stored within their infinite storage space. When content on the Internet is changed, the content on the corresponding disk will changes to match through unknown means. It is uncertain what would happen if content on the disk were changed, as all 150 disks seem to be locked in read-only format.- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: A set of 150 floppy disks that contains the entire Internet.
- The Internet: They contain the entirety of the Internet.
- The Internet Is for Porn:
- Disks 1 through 12 contain all the porn on the Internet.
- Also, this:Note from Dr. ██████████: I believe I know where all our bandwidth is going at night. Agent ████'s computer privileges should be limited until he either finds a girlfriend or learns some self-control.
SCP-336 - "Lilith"
SCP-336 is a pale-skinned human woman of Arabic descent in her late twenties. The woman, nicknamed "Lilith", requires no sleep or sustenance, and she does not appear to be affected by aging or sickness of any nature. Lilith is anatomically human, with the exception of dermal irregularities along her legs structurally similar to reptilian scales. Human subjects directly exposed to Lilith's voice will suffere effects depending on their posession of a Y chromosome and an otherwise healthy reproductive systems will experience inexplicable infertility. Women that have heard Lilith's voice will experience infertility, whereas men hear her voice and go to sleep after doing so will go into a coma, during which a tumor will grow on their body. The tumor will grow until it turns into a creature of composed of a combonation of species. These creatures are designated as SCP-336-1, and they are viciously hostile.- Artificial Human: When her voice is exposed to a man with the Cohen Modal Haplotype, the instance of SCP-336-1 will be exclusively human.
- It's All About Me: She has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
- Mix-and-Match Critter: She can create these by speaking within earshot of a man, causing their flesh to grow into one during their next sleep cycle. They are designated SCP-336-1.
- Morality Chain: She manages to keep Clef's more extreme tendencies in check.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite her antisocial behavior, vanity, and narcissism, she does show concern for the well-being of the facility and personnel, e.g. during Incident 239-B, she tried to convince Clef to stop his rampage, saying that his methods are too extreme. She's also very cooperative with personnel (though this was before her Retcon, so it may not still apply).
- Retcon: Before the mass edit, she had a Compelling Voice and the ability to use mirrors as a Portal Network.
- Scaled Up: In a sense. She has scales on her legs for unknown reasons.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Beautiful!: Seems to have this mindset.
- Sterility Plague: Her voice has this effect on women.
- Voice Changeling: She wore a voice modulator as part of her special containment procedures due to the effect her voice had.
SCP-337 - Hairball
A clump of 337's mass.
SCP-337 is a large mass of human hair that is fully animate, capable of many forms of locomotion, and seems to possess some level of sentience. Although it displays no obvious sensory organs, the entity is highly aware of its surroundings, even being rumored to possess perceptive abilities exceeding those of humans. When a human with any hair measuring longer than 5cm comes within approximately 30 meters of 337, it enters a sort of "predatory" state, rapidly braiding together several tendrils of hair in the direction of its prey. The object will then close in on its target at great speed, attempting to envelop it. When successful, the mass restrains the subject's limbs and begins harvesting all hair of sufficient length from the body, painlessly removing it from the dermis at the base and incorporating it into itself.SCP-338 - A Portable Radio
SCP-338 is a portable battery-powered survival radio operated by handcrank. The radio is capable of receiving anomalous broadcast signals on 11 different frequencies, each broadcast appearing to originate from a different reality. Talk-based broadcasts are the primary focus of the radio's analysis, one of which references political scenarios extremely similar to those found in the United States, but describe actions and events 4-6 weeks before they occur in the primary reality. Another broadcast is apparently a looped recording of survival instructions, rendezvous locations, and status updates about "The Great War", seemingly describing an EK-class scenario. A third broadcast is a mixture of educational programs, including sciences and forms of technology far more advanced than that of the prime reality.SCP-339 - Be Silent, Be Still
339 with its tendrils extended.
SCP-339 is a rusted ball of copper that houses a mass of tendrils. The individual tendrils constantly move as though they're underwater, continually grinding and scratching on the walls of its cell. If exposed to any form of noise above 14 decibels, 339 will become hostile, and will expand and extrude tendrils at an extremely high rate, ensnaring any moving organism or objects. Once movement has been restricted, the tendrils begin to vibrate at rapidly increasing oscillations until the target is dead. 339 will then return to its docile state, but not before secreting a slurry of blood, bone, and muscle tissue from its central mass.- Combat Tentacles: The SCP uses tendrils to ensnare and kill anything that makes even the slightest sound within roughly 5 meters of it.
SCP-340 - Viral Rebreather Membrane
SCP-340 is a jelly-like mucus produced by a human-specific virus which colonizes the nasal cavities, believed to have been synthesized by unknown parties. When initially produced, 340 exudes to cover the lower half of the face, including the nose and mouth. The mucus will undergo a catalytic reaction when immersed in water and will set into a sort ofbioplastic membrane, allowing the host to breathe underwater. When it is exposed to air, it dries into a chitinous substance similar to a crustacean shell. Once fully hardened, the mucus cannot be removed without inflicting major tissue damage.SCP-341 - A Collection of Extra-Solar Orreries
One of the orreries.
SCP-341 is a collection of eleven brass and iron orreries found in a large storage room of a basement at Oxford University. Each orrery is a rough scale model of an extra-solar star system, with planets, moons, and one or more suns in the center. Carbon-dating has revealed every machine to be between 150-200 years old. One particularly orrery depicts a similar solar system very reminiscent of our own. The orrery is missing a model of Earth and instead has a free Moon roaming through a debris field similar to the asteroid belt present between Mars and Jupiter.SCP-342 - A Ticket to Ride
A wall covered in unused instances of 342.
SCP-342 normally appears as a mass transit ticket, specifically taking the form for that of the closest form of mass transportation to its current location. When held by a person for any length of time, the ticket will eventually change form into a ticket for the form of transportation its holder desires to use. Whoever uses the ticket to board a vehicle is unable to exit the vehicle by any means. Once the vehicle ends its route and ceases movement, the user will disappear from their reality. Subjects often report a mounting feeling of dread prior to boarding the vehicle, which increases during the course of their journey, and culminates in panic-inducing terror shortly before their disappearance.SCP-343 - "God"
See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps 001 To 999.SCP-344 - Schrödinger's Can Opener
SCP-344 is a manual can opener which, when used to open a canned food, will allow the food inside to be replaced with a live version of whatever the can originally contains. Compressing the items into a small space causes significant pressure, resulting in the objects being propelled out of thecan with enough force to potentially cause injury to anyone within the area of effect.SCP-345 - Stone Puzzle Cube
345 in the midst of testing.
SCP-345 is a stone cube whose faces are each divided into nine squares of equal size, sections of which can be rotated in a fashion similar to a common Rubik's cube. Instead of the normal six colors commonly found on a Rubik's cube, the squares represent six different materials: intrusive magmatic rocks resembling granite and gabbro, an extrusive magmatic rock resembling basalt, a sedimentary rock resembling sandstone, a volcanic glass resembling obsidian, and a high-grade metamorphic rock resembling granite gneiss. If the cube is left open for 5 seconds, it will automatically close and reshuffle itself for two minutes. Completing a face of the block can cause shaking, heating, or reshuffling at high speeds.SCP-346 - "Pterry" the Pterodactyl
SCP-346 is a small male specimen belonging of an unidentified family of pterosaur, given the nickname "Pterry" by its owner, Dr. Right, and on-site staff. Pterry is approximately the size of a small bat, and he has very lightweight bone structure. Testing has revealed that he is an adult for his species, but appears to have had his growth stunted by malnutrition and being raised in a cramped cage. Further investiation into Pterry's origins has been suggested, in the hopes of finding a colony of similar creatures, or a rip in space and time, in the hopes that Pterry can be reunited with members of his own kind.SCP-347 - The Invisible Woman
Claudia posing for her database photo.
SCP-347 is an adult woman between the age of 19 and 25 who is completely invisible. Aside from her invisibility, 347, who goes by the name of "Claudia", demonstrates immense skill in theft, picking locks, and swallowing small objects in order to turn them invisible, displaying the ability to regurgitate them at will without dispensing the contents of her stomach. While she is known to act as something of a nuisance towards Foundation personnel, flirting with males, stealing their belongings, and stripping her clothes off at random, Claudia also shows that she has a caring side towards those who are left alone with her, often stroking a sleeping person and tucking them in, in addition to other small gestures.- Invisibility: They don't call her the invisible woman for nothing.
- Invisible Streaker: Her clothes remain visible.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While she's prone to acts of theft and violent outbursts, she treats people she's left alone with almost as a mother would.
- Meaningful Name: She calls herself "Claudia" after actor Claude Rains from The Invisible Man (1933).
- Odd Friendship: She has one with Herr Chirurg/SCP-542. During a breach the two escaped together, regretting that their idea may not have been the best in hindsight and playfully bantered with one another. The two eventually ate together at a restaurant before going back to the Foundation peacefully.
- Shameless Fanservice Girl: She doesn't wear clothes most of the time. Not that anyone can actually see anything.
- Sticky Fingers: She's a kleptomaniac.
- Stomach of Holding: Undoubtedly related to the above trope, she has trained herself to be able to regurgitate swallowed objects at will. Since anything inside of her body also becomes invisible, this is very useful when trying to steal things.
- The Tease: She enjoys flirting with male personnel and Dr. Rights requests they refuse her advances.
SCP-348 - A Gift from Dad
The bowl filled with soup.
SCP-348 is a ceramic bowl patterned with light blue flowers, and the Chinese characters for “thinking of you” are etched into the side of the bowl. When in the presence of an individual afflicted with a minor ailment or injury, the bowl will fill itself with soup. While the ingredients present within the soups produced vary, young subjects have consistently stated that they enjoyed eating it, sometimes stating that it reminds them of their parents’ cooking. Children who eat from 348 several times often express a feeling of contentment. The bottom of the bowl will display a message of positivity directed to the eater when they reach the end of their meal.- Comfort Food: Children who drink soup from SCP-348 usually feel contented, and may comment that it reminds them of their parents' cooking.
- Soup Is Medicine: The bowl will fill itself with soup when in the presence of someone who has a mild illness or injury. Drinking this soup helps the sick or injured person heal faster.
SCP-349 - The Philosopher's Stone and the Graveyard of the Immortals
SCP-349 is a cemetery located in a desolate forest clearing. Inside the graveyard are small memorials to a variety of individuals from around the world and throughout recorded history. All individuals referenced within the cemetery appear to have lived 100 years longer than the typical human lifespan at their time of death. The longest life recorded at the site is theorized to be that of "The Wandering Jew". Also within the graveyard is SCP-349-01, a large granite tombstone that is approximately 400 years old. The tombstone's primary inscription reads "Nicolas Flamel", followed by the dates "1376-1606". Underneath these inscriptions, the phrase "you have failed" is present in large capital letters. 350- 399
SCP-350 - Unbreakable Contract
An unwitting subject preparing to sign 350.
SCP-350 is a single page contract followed by 49 blank sheets. The contract outlines the basic exchange of a good or service in exchange for a small amount of currency. The wording of the contract is different to every reader prior to signature, and the good or service offered is always something the subject has expressed a great desire to obtain. Upon signing 350, the subject will invariably find the object or proof of the service shortly upon entering a location without direct surveillance. Should the signatory fulfill the terms of the contract, 350 begins to add new amendments and terms to itself. The complexity of these terms and demands will increase with the number of amendments fulfilled, eventually reaching extremes such as the murder of Foundation staff members.SCP-351 - Read-Only Memory
SCP-351 is an ASCII text file containing a virulent memetic agent. The agent implants false memories visualized as ASCII art into the minds of human subjects that view the file. All memories are resistant to all amnestic treatments and effects. Despite the clear recall, subjects report that the memories lack the immediacy and richness of their other memories. Subjects compromised by the file (hereafter SCP-351-B instances) are capable of implanting their false memories into the minds of people they associate with, such as friends and colleagues. These affected persons become further 351-B instances, and can spread the meme in the same manner.SCP-352 - "Baba Yaga"
352 preparing to devour a hapless D class.
SCP-352 is an old, emaciated woman of indeterminate age and race who speaks in Old Russian. This woman possesses a level of strength and speed much higher than should be possible for a person of her age and physical dimensions. The woman also produces an enzyme concentrated in the saliva and hair, which reacts on contact with human tissue and rapidly attacks the nervous system. Symptoms including hallucinations, euphoria, suppression of cognitive or “logical” thinking, and suppression of pain receptors, manifest almost immediately upon enzymatic contact. 352 has a carnivorous diet, and her prey of choice is primarily young children. She will create a "web" of hair, and wait patiently for prey to be ensnared in the web and rendered docile by the enzyme. When prey is caught, 352 will often remove and eat the limbs to prevent it from wandering away, and will devour the prey in a process that can take several days.- Eats Babies: While SCP-352 prefers human flesh over other types of flesh, SCP-352 has a "special propensity for children between 0 and 2 years of age". It is heavily implied that to make SCP-352 more cooperative, the Foundation did feed her babies.
- Evil Old Folks: She's very old and very evil.
- Gonk: She's not very pleasant-looking.
- Prehensile Hair: Her hair is like a spider web.
- Public Domain Character: Baba Yaga is a public domain character from Slavic folklore, though SCP-352 is a quite different and way more nasty version of the character. By Word of God, it's justified In-Universe.Dr. Gears: She's an old lady, she acts like the classic fairy tale witch, she was found near Russia, so let's call her Baba Yaga.
- Super Spit: Kind of, she has a hallucinogenic enzyme in her saliva and hairs.
- To Serve Man: She prefers human flesh over other types of flesh.
SCP-353 - "Vector"
SCP-353 is a human female, twenty-six years old, of average intelligence and physical capacity. The woman's identity has never been revealed, but she has given herself the name "Vector". Vector has shown that she has the ability to siphon infectious viral and bacterial agents from her environment, storing them within her body and redistributing them to induce devastating pandemic effects. Vector's mood directly affects the radius of her infections recorded, with increased emotional states leading to massively increased potency of the agents. Vector shows hints of mental characteristics of a typical supervillain, and claims to have traveled the western world seeking greater infections for her "collection", the only response she gives to personnel who ask her why being a simple "Because I can."- Bad Powers, Bad People: Played with in that Dr. Glass observes and believes that Vector could potentially do good with her Plague Master powers. She could have used her powers to cure everyone's infectious diseases and become a living disease database, but she only cares about the evil applications.
- Blessed with Suck: Any attempt she makes to manipulate the diseases in her body causes her to get the symptoms of said diseases. Not that she minds.
- Card-Carrying Villain: She thinks and behaves like a supervillain.
- Dark Is Evil: According to Dr. Glass, she uses a heavy amount of black for "cosmetic purposes", suggesting that her Vector persona has this theme going on.
- Deconstruction: Of a supervillain. She's a superpowered sociopath who wants to infect as many people as possible. However, she was subdued and apprehended relatively easily.
- For the Evulz: When asked why she was collecting diseases and infecting people with them, she responded with "Because I can". Dr. Glass also observes that she has a Might Makes Right attitude.
- Horsemen of the Apocalypse: Not originally, but in the Competitive Eschatology canon, Bobble suggests casting her as Pestilence to replace Conquest (aka SCP-231-7) after the latter calls it quits.
- Meaningful Name: A vector in epidemiology is a biological organism that transmits a pathogen, which is exactly what she is.
- Narcissist: Dr. Glass observes that she has some seriously narcissistic tendencies.
- Plague Master: She can siphon infectious diseases away from other sources, "store" them in her body, and redistribute them as a pandemic.
- Smug Snake: Believes herself to be a powerful supervillain, yet is very easily subdued when she escapes.
- The Sociopath: Dr. Glass thinks so, anyway.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: She believes herself to be a supervillain straight from the pages of a comic book.
SCP-354 - The Red Pool
The pool as it was discovered.
SCP-354 is one of the Foundation's deadliest anomalies. It's a pool of red liquid housed in a forest located in northern Canada. The liquid has been found to have a consistency similar to that of human blood, but is not of a biological nature. Otherworldly entities will emerge from the pool on a periodic basis, and they will attempt to escape from the pool's enclosure. Nearly all creatures that have spawned from 354 thus far have been extremely hostile and lethally dangerous, to the point where they are authorized for termination on sight.- Berserk Button: It was actually playing around with them before they tried to drain it, which it didn't take kindly to.
- Combat Tentacles: When the monster SCP-354-14 appeared in the Pool, it used 5 octopus-like tentacles to grab several D-class personnel and pull them into the Pool.
- Eldritch Location: A blood-red pool that's sentient, as well as the fact that it can spawn otherworldly things from itself.
- Genius Loci: It's basically all but directly stated that the Pool itself is sentient, and it's angry.
- Hold the Line: How the Foundation is forced to deal with the Pool and its periodic emergent monsters. A more definitive solution still hasn't been found, and worse yet, the Pool is expanding.
- Immune to Bullets: At least three of the monsters that have come out of SCP-354 have been effectively immune to bullets, including SCP-354-2 ("virtually bulletproof"), SCP-354-4 ("Gunfire caused very little physical harm and was highly ineffective"), and SCP-354-16 ("Gunfire proved mostly ineffective against its hide.").
- Invisibility: SCP-354-18 was one of the entities that came out of SCP-354. It was a Terminator-style robot with a cloaking device that made it invisible to human sight.
- Kill It with Fire: SCP-354-2 was a bear-sized creature covered with razor-sharp spines. After it came out of SCP-354, it proved to be Immune to Bullets and had to be destroyed with napalm.
- Monster of the Week: Dangerous creatures emerge from the pool at various times, and their appearances and capabilities all vary, from SCP-354-4 (a humanoid reptilian) to SCP-354-3 (a large black sphere that emits concentrated beams of radiation) to SCP-354-6 (an ordinary man of Indian decent).
- Portal Pool: It's essentially a portal to another dimension.
SCP-355 - The Serrated Lawn
355 disguised as ordinary grass.
SCP-355 is an unknown species of grass indistinguishable from ordinary grass to the naked eye. Any creature that treads on the grass with insufficiently armored feet will suffer penetration of said feet by the grass' dense blades, which will inject the victim with liquefying acid, and will subsequently drain the bodily fluids through their hollow core. The grass will also simultaneously deploy sharp splinters from its edges in reaction to sudden pressure, making it difficult for its victims to escape.- Agony of the Feet: Anything that steps onto the "grass" with inadequate foot protection has their feet pierced by the "grass" blades, and said blades embed themselves as well, making it difficult for the victim to leave.
- Kill It with Fire: The "grass" can be destroyed with fire.
- Vampiric Draining: The "grass" blades siphon bodily fluids through a victim's feet.
SCP-356 - Autointerrogation
356 photographed when he was alive.
SCP-356 was a 62-year-old man of Eurasian descent. When 356's corpse is within approximately 3m of any device capable of receiving a phone call, the will begin receiving a constant stream of calls. These calls will continue for an indefinite period, and will only cease when answered, only to resume once the speaker hangs up. When calls prompted by the presence of 356 are answered, an unknown entity (SCP-356-A) speaking in the voice of 356 will answer. Left to speak on its own, 356-A will talk about general information regarding 356, mostly focused on the late man's work history and professional relationships. 356-A has also demonstrated a tendency to gravitate to subjects that 356 would have found uncomfortable or distressing.SCP-357 - Hungry Clay
SCP-357 is a malleable substance that has been found to reflect all radiation with 100% efficiency. If solid matter is placed in a container of 357, it will sink into the substance at a constant rate of 0.5cm per minute. The substance will displace the appropriate volume as any other fluid would. Once the solid object is fully absorbed, it will become impossible to distinguish between itself and the rest of 357.SCP-358 - A "Deserted" Hospital
The interior of 358.
SCP-358 is an abandoned trauma center located in England. Exploration and surveillance of the building has revealed anomalous activity characterized of typical spiritual manifestations, ranging from glowing spheres to full bodied apparitions, all of which appear exhausted and occasionally ask for water. Recognizable apparitions appear to be individuals who have previously been exposed to 358 beyond the average psychological recoverability point. The majority of these subjects now reside in Foundation psychological observational facilities, and security footage shows them present in their respective units during the appearance of apparitions within the building.SCP-359 - The Hawk
The statue at rest.
SCP-359 is a metallic sculpture of a red-tailed hawk perched atop a 12 meter arch. During daylight hours, it the sculpture displays no signs of movement and does not respond to external stimuli. Between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., however, the sculpture will become animate and disembark from its perch, where it will display the typical behaviors of an adult red-tailed hawk, apart from it being nocturnal. 359 is also capable of flight during this period, but it is unknown how exactly this is accomplished, as its wings are too short to allow for flight.- Living Statue: It's a living metal sculpture of a red-tailed hawk.
- To Serve Man: After it was contained, it began killing and eating D-class personnel who entered its enclosure during restricted hours.
SCP-360 - Ascendance
SCP-360 is a ritual that ostensibly allows a single living human subject to ascend to a higher plane of existence. When performed at an altitude of 10,500 meters or higher, affected subjects are shown to emit a blinding light and a burst of high-energy radiation for several seconds, before they disappear. To date, no individual who has successfully performed 360 has ever been recovered.SCP-361 - Bronze Liver
SCP-361 is an Etruscan artifact, composed of bronze in the shape of a sheep's liver. 61's anomalous properties manifest if it comes into contact with an organic sheep's liver removed no more than 3 hours before interaction. When contact is made, 361 will vocalize a set of instructions meant to achieve contact with one of the gods or spirits depicted in the writings which cover it, doing so through an automatic service it refers to as "HarusCo". If these instructions are performed correctly, and within a period of 30 seconds, the artifact will provide a new set of instructions. The instructions will grow increasingly convoluted and/or nonsensical, until they become impossible to perform under the given time limit. The instructions are delivered in a manner consistent with the origins and culture of the user - when used by a modern American, they are spoken in English and delivered like a telephone dialogue tree; when used by an ancient Roman, they are spoken in Latin and delivered like divine orders.SCP-362 - A Cool T-Shirt
SCP-362 is a light blue T-shirt bearing the logo of a children’s television program popular in the late 1980s and early 90s. Test subjects wearing the shirt have unanimously reported no feelings of discomfort, unease, or foreboding. Immediately after pulling 362 over his or her head, the test subject reports several dozens of humanoid figures suddenly appearing in the room with them. The figures appear after the instant the test subject's vision becomes obscured by the shirt passing over the subject's eyes as it is removed. Most of these figures seem to fix their attention on the subject, and will stand motionless unless approached. The figures themselves have been variously described as "blurry" and "shadowy". After experimentation, all subjects, even those who expressed eagerness and/or amusement at the prospect of wearing 362, express unease when prompted to discuss the series depicted on it.SCP-363 - Not Centipedes
SCP-363, one of the most devastating anomalies in containment, is a race of creatures similar in appearance to the Amazonian giant centipede. Under normal circumstances, instances of 363 are the appropriate size for the giant centipede. When shrouded in darkness, which they actively seek out, the creatures will rapidly and erratically grow to sizes up to and exceeding 10m x 2m. Under these conditions, the creatures have also been documented to grow proboscises, tentacles, highly elongated mandibles, and an inconsistent number of eyes and legs. In this state, the creatures will attack any animal emitting body heat, and they appear to be able to detect and hunt their prey in total darkness.- Creepy Centipedes: These look like normal giant centipedes in the light. When the lights turn off, they grow to massive sizes and become hostile. Even worse, they can turn humans into Body Horror centipedes!
- Kill It with Fire: SCP-363 is scared of fire, and Foundation troops are issued flamethrowers to use against them. After one containment breach, the site where SCP-363 was being held was firebombed in order to destroy them.
SCP-364 - Ionian Drop Point
Io, with Surt's location circuled.
SCP-364 is located in the vicinity of Surt, an active volcano on Jupiter's innermost moon, Io. 364 itself is a specific point located several hundred meters above the volcano's crater. At irregular intervals, varying amounts of matter spontaneously appear at this location and fall into Surt, where it will be incinerated by the volcano's lava flow. The mechanism by which this matter appears is not yet known, and no permanent physical structure has as yet been detected near 364, or anywhere else on Io. On at least four occasions, interstellar probes have detected marks on the matter that appear to be an unidentified written language.SCP-365 - Pool Noodle
SCP-365 is a green pool noodle manufactured out of polyethylene foam. While typically unassuming from most pool noodles, 365's anomalous properties manifest when it is placed in a body of water. Any subject who completely submerges themselves in the same body of water as 365 will suddenly find themselves unable to get out. 365 is said to have terminated the lives of several Foundation agents tasked with retrieving it, as they were unaware of its anomalous properties at the time.SCP-366 - Carriage Grubs
A single 366 larva.
SCP-366 is a species of human parasite of possible extraterrestrial origin. The creature starts its lifecycle in an ovum, which will develop into a larval stage in a male host, and will transition to an adult stage in a female host. Upon introduction of 366 ova to a male host via inhalation or ingestion, specimens travel through the body to settle in the testes. After a period of time, any significant increase in testosterone will trigger a transition to the larval stage. The larvae lie dormant in the testes, waiting to be transmitted to a female host. After three to six weeks of transfer, the remaining adult specimens will emerge from their hosts and take flight through unknown means in an attempt to gain access to open sky. If successful, specimens will ascend towards an unknown system, likely their place of origin.SCP-367 - Little Dog
SCP-367 is a massive single-celled organism, composed of what appears to be a mass of yellow slime with several white threads suspended in it, with a semi-solid sphere of gray material in the center, deemed the "nucleus". Despite its appearance, the creature appears to the human eye as a small dog of variable breed, most often appearing as a small, brown puppy. 367 is capable of feeding on all forms of solid matter, and has shown the ability to dissolve and digest concrete, steel, titanium, carbon fiber, bone, and wood. If 367 is left without food for more than three hours, it will become highly aggressive, and its "strings" will project from the "eyes" and "mouth" and will attempt to bore into and break down all nearby matter.SCP-368 - Paper Crane
The crane sitting on a table.
SCP-368 is an origami crane folded from ornate, heavy-stock paper. The crane's anomalous properties showcase that it is both animate and self-aware to a degree. When left to its own devices, the crane will perch, preen and groom itself, and occasionally construct a makeshift nest out of nearby office supplies. 368 shows itself to be a friendly and affectionate anomaly by the way it responds to human touch, doing so as a domesticated bird would. Studying the crane's physical properties have proven difficult, as it seems to interpret attempts to capture or contain it as a game, where it has displayed considerable agility and resourcefulness in evading even the most focused attempts at containment. 368 also demonstrates the ability to fly from platform to platform, but the methods through which it stays airborne and maintains its stability is still not known. The crane is also able to produce copies of itself when exposed to copying equipment, such as a photocopier, which is how it effectively reproduces.SCP-369 - Living Migratory Network
SCP-369 is a road construction zone which demonstrates autonomous functionality, repairing stretches of road left unrepaired by human construction crew. The road that 369 is focused on at any given time undergoes a semi-organic healing process when not directly observed, which typically takes up to four days. The completion of this process results in mundane-yet-professional quality patches made to the pavement. Tests with construction on 369 and attempted disruption its repair process have always resulted in the subject being covered in liquid tar, until the bones and inorganic materials are ejected onto the roadside.SCP-370 - A Key
SCP-370 is, for all intents and purposes, a key. The size, shape, material, and general appearance of the key are unknown, and this intentional for the object's containment procedures. Knowledge of the key's physical characteristics is the primary vector for the spread of a highly contagious memetic disease. As such, all records thought to contain such information are to be destroyed without review. The disease caused by 370 has three distinct sets of symptoms, designated SCP-370-A, B, and C. Subjects suffering from 370-A will commit suicide as soon as they have the opportunity. Those infected with 370-B initially become very calm, followed by a sudden, unprovoked assault on anyone within the subject's reach, which escalates into an indiscriminate killing spree. 370-C primarily manifests in subjects with a high IQ. Upon infection, subjects will close their eyes and voluntarily remain still and silent for an average of 30 seconds. If questioned on this, subjects will claim to have been "praying". All infected subjects detected at this stage must be terminated immediately.- These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know: It's a highly contagious infohazard, and knowing anything about it other than that it is a key leads to infection, which can lead to either suicide, murderous rampages, or casually mentioning infectious SCP-370 information to other people.
SCP-371 - Macrovirus
An illustration of 371's physiology.
SCP-371 is a macroscopic marine virus whose specimens range in size and are somewhat transparent, able to be mistaken for jellyfish in water. The virus's physiology and behavior appears similar to ordinary microscopic viruses, albeit with several adaptions that make it an effective marine predator. The most notable adaptation of 371 its encoding mechanism, which utilizes the direct injection of microscopic DNA-encoding packets in lieu of traditional DNA or RNA, the infected packets entering host cells and using them to spawn duplicates of the organism inside the host. The virus will continue to replicate specimens that grow up to 20cm in size, after which they will exit the host body in a modified bursting pattern, causing severe trauma to the host that will often result in death.- Chest Burster: After SCP-371 infects a victim with its genetic material, new SCP-371 specimens are created inside the victim's abdominal cavity. Once the specimens grow to a length of 20 centimeters, they burst out of the victim's body, causing severe trauma (including internal injuries, serious bleeding, and death).
- Face Full of Alien Wing-Wong: SCP-371 reproduces by inserting its genetic material into an animal. The genetic material takes over the victim's cells and causes them to produce SCP-371 specimens. When the specimens become large enough, the next time the victim enters an aquatic environment they use a Chest Burster technique to leave the body.
- Mega-Microbes: It's a species of virus that can grow from 20 cm to 2.5 meters in length.
SCP-372 - Peripheral Jumper
The clearest known photograph of the Jumper.
SCP-372 is an insectoid creature of unknown genus, given the nickname "The Peripheral Jumper" by staff for its tendency to hide itself from a person's view. The Jumper has been estimated to have a long, thin body with eight pairs of narrow limbs. Analysis of the creature's physiology has shown that its muscle fibers allow for extremely fast and precise movements, every part of its body is abnormally flexible, and its limbs are coated with small fibers that allow it to cling to almost any solid surface. The jumper has a large sensory organ replacing its eyes and ears, which is capable not only of echolocation, but the ability to detect energy transfers, such as the electrical impulses in the brains of nearby beings. The creature has learned to time its movements to these pulses, predicting the movements of any being around it. It uses this technique to hide itself from view, either by hiding behind the head of a person looking for it, or by hiding in their blind spots.- Don't Look At Me: Although it's not hostile about it... unless you confine it such that there are no blind spots at all for it to hide in, then it'll go out of its way to make them.
- Eye Scream: SCP-372 is an example of He Who Must Not Be Seen and tries to avoid being seen. During one experiment where it was released into a room with 4 human observers, it attacked one of them and caused them to lose an eye so they couldn't see it.
- Gaslighting: It was first discovered hanging around a patient complaining of hallucinations. Unfortunately, SCP-372 wasn't a hallucination, and thus the patient wasn't helped by any sort of treatment. By the time SCP-372 was captured, the patient had actually gone insane due to stress.
- Hidden Harasser: When first encountered it was allowing itself to be seen by a patient in a medical facility but using its powers to prevent itself from being seen by anyone else, apparently just to harass him.
- He Who Must Not Be Seen: It constantly moves out of line of sight.
- Spider-Sense: In place of eyes and ears, it has a sensory organ that allows it to predict where a person is going to look so it can move out of the way.
- Super-Reflexes: How it stays out of sight.
SCP-373 - Ghost Record
373 ready for testing.
SCP-373 is an antique phonograph which appears to have the ability of modifying the audio of any record played on it according to a particular set of patterns. Research has specifically demonstrated that every fourth word or phrase of the record will be altered from the originally-recorded song or monologue. These new words can be organized sequentially to reveal what appear to be messages and statements from a series of mysterious entities. The entity is also able to communicate for the duration of each instance the record is played.SCP-374 - Oracular Guillotine
SCP-374 is a guillotine manufactured during the French Revolution-era, made from oak and a steel blade. Every instance of 374 being used to decapitate a live human produces an instance of SCP-374-1. 374-1 is the consciousness of "Jean-Philippe-Horace-Donatien", a Frenchman who apparently lived during the Revolution, whose personality will inhabit the victim's freshly severed head. 35 minutes after he makes his presence known, Jean-Philippe is able to see, hear, and speak through the victim's head, as well as manifest limited forms of enhanced awareness, enabling him to provide true answers to any questions he is given.SCP-375 - Temporal Credit Union
The exterior of 375, with its cognitohazardous sign redacted.
SCP-375 is a former Wells Fargo office located in Casper, Wyoming. The sign of the building and its front door have been modified to read "Temporal Credit Union". A series of eleven humanoid entities (designated SCP-375-A) remain within the building at all times, equipped in matching uniforms and claiming to be employees of the business. 375's anomalous properties manifest when any subject views its main sign and/or interacts with the 375-A instances inside. During Phase I of infection, subjects will feel compelled to exchange items of personal value via deposit and withdrawal. 12-24 hours after a deposit has been made, the deposited item will be replaced with an extra-universal object from one of many alternate realities. These objects have often been found to be superficially similar to the original.SCP-376 - The Traffic Light Tree
An instance of 376 sprouting at an intersection.
SCP-376 appears to be a traffic light with an excessive amount of components attached to itself, to the point where it resembles a tree more than a standard traffic light. 376 has actually been discovered to not be a man-made object, but a naturally occurring organism. It is currently unknown how or why 376 has managed to mimic a traffic light's appearance, but weeks of observation have revealed that it is capable of mimicking fire hydrants, lamp posts, power lines, and street signs as well as traffic lights.SCP-377 - Accurate Fortune Cookies
SCP-377 is a box of La Choy brand fortune cookies which is known to restock itself every 12 hours. Each cookie contains a slip of paper on which a "fortune" is written in blue ink. The fortunes contained within each cookie appear to be specific to the individual who opens the cookie. Every fortune, positive and negative, has thus far shown to be 100% accurate, and typically range from vague indications of coming success to specific predictions regarding one's personal life.- Ambiguous Situation: It's unknown whether the fortunes cause or merely predict future events.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: These are fortune cookies that happen to be accurate.
- Strangely Specific Horoscope: SCP-377 is a box of fortune cookies whose fortunes are inconsistent with the factory standard and always accurate. While it's unknown whether these cookies cause or merely predict future events, correct fortunes have included "It's a boy!" predicting the sex of the subject's child, and "The weather is really just not your friend today," where the subject was soon thereafter struck by lightning.
SCP-378 - Brainworm
See Recap.SCP Foundation Canons under the folder The Trashfire.SCP-379 - Mechanical Pheromone
The bottle of 379.
SCP-379 is a translucent silver liquid contained in a small crystal bottle. The liquid is discovered to have the strange effect of inducing a state not unlike infatuation upon electronic and mechanical devices. When applied to a person or object, any machines in the vicinity will begin running in an overheated state, unable to process as many commands and consuming far more energy.SCP-380 - Biological Networking Device
380 while deactivated.
SCP-380 is a small blue box with an appearance of an internet router. The device seems to be compatible with any computer it can be connected to, but instead of establishing wireless connections to networked computers, the network 380 connects to is made from biological entities within a 15m radius. Entities compatible with this network include humans, animals, and plants. When a biological component is accessed, it contains a single text document readable by whichever operating system is utilized with 380. Each document contains variables such as "heart rate", "stress", and "blood glucose level", among various other physiological parameters.SCP-381 - The Pyrotechnic Polyphony
The first leaf of the composition.
SCP-381 consists of 7 unbound pages of sheet music. Anyone who touches 381 abruptly begins to sing the composition detailed on the sheets in a range suited to their age and gender, albeit with professional-level competence. When a certain measure is reached by a singer, the sound of a choir will emerge from the air around the sheets, singing along to the lyrics in Latin. When the voices reach another specific measure, all non-Roman Catholic Christians in the area (including the singer, if possible) will spontaneously burst into flames.SCP-382 - Haunted Baby Carriage
SCP-382 is an antique baby carriage. Any person who makes visual contact with 382 is compelled to approach it and place their hands on its handlebar. As soon as the subject comes into physical contact with 382, SCP-382-2, a heavily injured infant, will manifest inside the carriage. Both the subject and 382-2 will then appear to enter a trance, in which the subject will propel the carriage in a circle and make noises directed at 382-2, apparently intending to be soothe it. As time passes, the subject will begin to weaken and their bodies will degrade, while 382-2 and the carriage will appear to regenerate and renew themselves. The subject will continue to interact with the carriage for nearly two hours, at which point they will die from widespread organ failure.SCP-383 - Variably Useful Flu
SCP-383 is a viral infection that appears to only be capable of infecting humans. The initial symptoms of 383 are similar to those of the common cold, ranging from a variety of aches and pains, sinus issues, sore throat, upset stomach, coughing, sneezing, and fatigue. 383 is also accompanied by extreme waves of nausea and vomiting. Along with infected subjects regurgitating the contents of their stomach, the infection also appears to be capable, through unknown means, of producing random items from the stomach. On many occasions, these items are useful to the individual subject.SCP-384 - Let Her In
A 384-infected door.
SCP-384 is an anomaly that takes a variable form. Any door installed in the same building as it can spontaneously take on its anomalous properties. Two conditions must be met for 384's effects to begin: it must be opened and closed by a human being, and it must be unobserved by any possible means of visual surveillance. If these conditions are met, liquid tar will begin to flow out from under 384 and fill the room that it currently occupies. Once the process is complete, all open doors in the affected room will automatically close and lock themselves. The subject inside the room can talk with SCP-384-1, a female voice who claims to be a missing girl, which will then try to convince the person to open the door. Individuals who attempt to open 384 upon the voice's command are encompassed by an immediate explosion.SCP-385 - Personal Anti-Gravity Field Generator
SCP-385 is a waist-mounted harness crafted from heavily antiqued brass and leather. When operated according to procedure, 385 creates an energy field that neutralizes the inertia and counteracts the influence of gravitational forces upon the device and the individual currently wearing or holding it. The harness will continue to produce the effect even when all mechanical components beyond the activation switch are removed.SCP-386 - Eternal Fungus
A 386 mushroom.
SCP-386 is a species of mushroom that appears to possess highly regenerative processes, and demonstrates a strong resistance to physical damage. Single units of 386 grow from individual microscopic spores which grow and reach maturity within four days. These spores have been observed to grow without water, sunlight, or any form of nutrition, and can remain viable even after exposure to high heat, radiation, and extreme kinetic force. Upon reaching maturity, a mushroom will emit up to 100 spores every ten days. The primary threat of 386 arises from inhalation of its spores, which will grow and reproduce inside the lungs and cause suffocation, internal hemorrhaging, and death.SCP-387 - Living Lego
The contents of 387 spread out.
SCP-387 is a plastic tub filled with commercially available Lego pieces, normal in design. When the tub is partially emptied, the Lego pieces within will slowly duplicate themselves, not stopping until the container is full. The primary anomalous property surrounding 387 is that, when constructed by a human hand, the constructions will become animate and begin performing activities based on their surroundings. If left to their own devices overtime, the constructed figurines and buildings will evolve, taking on occupations based on the buildings around them and expanding their society with pieces from the tub. Humans can interact with the constructs, who show themselves to be peaceful and friendly towards them, but if a human becomes hostile to them, they will immediately become inanimate. An infamous cross test shows that while the animate Legos are welcoming to humans, they are viciously hostile to off-brand replicas of themselves.- Berserk Button: Do not place any off-brand knockoffs of them in their presence, like Mega Bloks, or [EXPUNGED] will occur.
- Living Toys: They're Lego pieces and people that come to life when humans play with them.
- Noodle Incident: Whatever they did to the Mega Bloks was enough to make Dr. Arch react with "Jesus Christ."
- Self-Duplication: They can produce more Legos, but will only do so when in a specific container. The inverse will also happen if the container is filled with more Legos than it can hold (i.e. the Legos will disappear until the container is filled exactly to capacity).
- Take That!: Apparently, they did something rather nasty to a mound of Mega Bloks that was placed near them.
SCP-388 - Ultimate Frisbee
SCP-388 is a foldable nylon frisbee similar to the type commonly given away as promotional material. 388 appears to be immune to all forms of conventional damage, having been able to withstand high caliber rifle shots, immersion in high acidity substances, and exposure to temperatures of 3500°C. In all cases, it will spring back, unharmed, to its original shape. When thrown by a human, it appears to become airborne as a normal frisbee would. After reaching a distance of 3m, it immediately begins glowing white and accelerating. 388 will proceed to cleanly slice through all matter in its path, regardless of consistency, until it eventually comes to rest.SCP-389 - Message in a Bottle
SCP-389 is a green glass bottle. When a message is written inside the bottle and it is cast into the sea, the bottle will return at high tide the next day, with a written reply replacing the original message. The Foundation was discovered that this phenomenon appears to work with any written note, and they have theorized that these notes may originate from different planets or universes.SCP-390 - Ancient Death Ray
SCP-390 is the remains of a large ancient mechanical device that is capable of generating beams of intense heat focused at a distance of up to 1200 meters, often causing water to vaporize and flammable materials to ignite within seconds. Exactly how the device is able to accomplish this is currently unknown.SCP-391 - The Midas Owl
Midas feeding on a mouse.
SCP-391 is a female barn owl given the nickname "Midas". She was given the name when it was documented that she possesses the ability to regurgitate pellets composed of precious metals, such as gold, silver, and platinum. The metals that Midas is able to regurgitate seem to vary with the type of prey she has recently ingested.SCP-392 - A Plant Now Found in Site-103, and Formerly Found in the Households of Nobility
SCP-392 is an artificial species of plant resembling the peach tree. While 392 is physiologically similar to the peach tree, a significant difference is that the tree does not produce fruits from the ovary upon flowering, instead producing a series of physically identical male human heads. The physiology of the heads grown is mostly identical to that of a human, although they heads lack eyelids and contain 392 seeds in the prefrontal cortex. The heads are also capable of responding to external stimuli, as indicated by various reflex actions.SCP-393 - The Memory Planner
SCP-393 is a blue day planner with a year that always matches the current year embroidered onto its cover. 393 has the ability to "link" to a nearby subject via unknown means, and will appear in the hands of its current owner whenever it is not being watched. Any event written in the past dates of the planner are instantly and vividly recalled by the owner as if they experienced it themselves.SCP-394 - Ear Candles
Two pairs of 394; one packaged, the other unpackaged.
SCP-394 is a container of ear candles, each with one end tapered. When a candle is lit, the user begins to decrease in body fat. The candle will continue to burn until it is either extinguished, or the user has no body fat remaining. If the candle remains lit at the point where body fat has depleted, the user's body will start to desiccate and harden, with death occurring in the first ten minutes of this process. The flesh will eventually attain the consistency of dried meat, and the scent of the candle will change to a mixture of incense and the odor of a smokehouse.SCP-395 - The Bottle Baby
SCP-395 is a human fetus, approximately 7 months into development, contained in a specimen jar filled with formaldehyde and traces of blood. When a human woman comes within 5m of the jar, 395 is able to telepathically influence them. At that point, the subject will feel a need to remove the fetus from its jar and allow it to suckle from their teat. All women will lactate to provide the fetus with nutrients, regardless of age or medical status. Once its host's milk has been exhausted, the fetus will continue to feed, draining the victim of their blood and gnawing at their flesh.- People Jars: SCP-395 is a human fetus that lives in a specimen jar filled with formaldehyde. It is fed a mixture of milk and blood once per week.
- Telepathy: Any human female within 5 meters of SCP-395 is put under its telepathic control. She will begin to lactate, remove SCP-395 from its People Jar, and allow it to suckle from her.
SCP-396 - And Suddenly, Chair
396 in its original location.
SCP-396 is a chair constructed of plastic and steel. At statistically random intervals, 396 will displace itself and another chair somewhere on the planet. Any living matter that is seated on either 396 or the seat it is displacing will change places with the objects. It is believed that 396 is able to listen to nearby conversations and transport itself to locations mentioned by research staff.SCP-397 - A Hominidae
SCP-397 is a female chimpanzee exhibiting sapience and a strong sense of contempt for humankind. 397 has been shown to have an IQ of 160. She can read and speak English proficiently and is able to write in somewhat legible shorthand. 397 has demonstrated an intense desire to utilize her abilities, showing particular interest in the fields of ancient history and classical music. While in custody, she has made 18 escape attempts, occasionally doing so by fashioning simple weaponry or tools from vegetation.SCP-398 - The Greeting Hall
A snapshot of 398 taken from a recorded exploration.
SCP-398 appears to all subjects as a hallway whose details differ between accounts. When a person enters the hallway, they can see different rooms that are either threatening or inviting; no alternatives or balances between the two means. Either way, the subject is influenced to continue down the hallway to an unknown end.
