4500- 4599

SCP-4500 - Socratic Containment Procedures

• Badass Bookworm: Scholar Zeus (yes, that one), assigned to the containment of Gold-threat item Omega Omega Omega (better known as Typhon) via subjugation with lightning bolts.
• Cool and Unusual Punishment: Scholar Herakles was assigned to the containment of Gold-threat objects due to causing the death of a fellow scholar. Twelve of them, presumably.
• Eldritch Location: SCP-4500 is a philosophical ideal, that takes the form of a location one can access by contemplating SCP-4500-1, an abstract concept. Once accessed, it's a pretty normal facility, though every room is different, believed to be because there is only one ideal for "Room," but adding details makes them distinct. Each room contains a conversation that describes the threat intended to be contained.
• Expospeak Gag: Once you get past the idea of a place being an abstract concept, you get a description of several records. The joke is that underneath the flowery language these documents are use the format of SCP containment documents, and the objects they are containing come from Greek myth and philosophy. For example, Pandora's Box...err, jar is the equivalent of Safe-class, Tryphon is Keter, and after killing another scholar in his recklessness Herakles was put on Keter duty.
• Extranormal Institute: A Classical Mythology version of the Foundation, in the form of a Platonic ideal that can be physically interacted with. As Platonic idealism states that everything in reality is an imperfect version of an immutable ideal, it's implied that SCP-4500 is therefore the "ideal" represented by the Foundation itself, as all dialogues in SCP-4500 follow the general formatting used by SCP articles and even have their own analogous object class system (Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Heroes as analogues for Neutralized, Safe, Euclid, Keter, and Thaumiel respectively).
• Mind Screw: Item Pi Upsilon Theta (threat of Silver) refers to a concept discovered by one Scholar Pythagoras, an Emanatory Ideal that can cause severe distress during initial exposure. As anyone first exposed to the concept of irrational numbers can attest. It is an obvious reference to SCP-033.
• Public Domain Artifact: Pandora's box was contained within SCP-4500, designated as Pi Alpha Nu, and considered the threat of iron.

SCP-4503 - The Infinite Pasta Pot

• The Bus Came Back: The pasta pot was initially SCP-503 before being removed from the mainlist and archived. Later, it was reassigned to 4503, making it the first archived object to be returned to the mainlist.
• Beware the Silly Ones: It's a pot that churns out pasta. It's classified Safe... being considered for an upgrade to Keter because of what happened the last time it was left on for too long. Additionally, attempts to create new activation phrases for different kinds of pasta also led to a few of them generating [DATA EXPUNGED] instead.
• By the Power of Grayskull!: 4503 responds to certain phrases to generate different kinds of pasta. Turning it off requires the same phrase with the addition of [DATA EXPUNGED].
• Early-Installment Weirdness: An unusual example. Because it's a formerly archived Series I article, it retains the writing style of that era, making it stand out amongst the Series V articles.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It's a pot that generates an infinite supply of pasta while active.
• Magic Cauldron: Just the one used in Strega Nona.
• Mundane Utility: Unsurprisingly, it's used to provide lunch at its containment site, although some personnel admit to getting sick of pasta.

SCP-4504 - The Handless Man

• Body Horror: SCP-4504 can warp any solid object into any shape he desires, including other living beings. He later stretched out and compressed his own body into a grossly disproportionate nine feet tall being so he can breach containment more easily.
• The Dog Bites Back: He gruesomely murders his first psychiatrist, Dr. Weber, and a number of security guards after they refused to actually listen to his requests multiple times.
• Driven to Suicide: SCP-4504 attempted suicide multiple times after realizing that he can't escape the Foundation. He later gave up doing this in exchange for enacting revenge on those he hates.
• Revenge is Sweet: And pretty much the only thing he has left after the Foundation denied him basically everything else.
• Super-Toughness: His ability makes solid objects tougher, but makes living beings suffer chronic pain in the affected areas. He later modified his body to be immune to conventional arms, with the chronic pain he has preventing him from being incapacitated by tasers and pepper spray.
• Tragic Monster: A combination of living in isolation for so long and inept psychiatrists have turned SCP-4504 into a giant that now wants revenge on those he hates.

SCP-4505 - A Brief History of Anomalous Artwork in the Renaissance

• Anomalous Art: This SCP in question isn't so much one object as it is an entire collection of Renaissance works of art (or replicas) that are in some way supernatural enough to have been confiscated by the Foundation.
  • SCP-4505-035 ("Pietà") is a marble depiction of the Madonna weeping over Jesus Christ's body. The two statues move as though they are living beings (or at least the Madonna does), the Madonna shaking the body of the unresponsive Christ. While it behaves as though it is alive, it does not react to stimuli, an easy comparison being a wind-up automaton acting on a set series of movements.
  • SCP-4505-089 ("The Judgement of the Unrighteous") is a bronze-depiction of the Gates of Hell from The Divine Comedy. Those who qualify as "sinful" under 15th century Catholic standards that see it hallucinate figures in red hoods eating severed heads for under half an hour.
  • SCP-4505-118 ("Cardinal del Monte") is an oil-on-canvas portrait of Innocenzo Ciocchi del Monte that, if removed or destroyed from its preferred place in the Papal Palace, will miraculous reappear there without explanation.
  • SCP-4505-122 ("The Elation of Saint Paul") is an oil-on-panel depiction of Paul the Apostle in a Jewish synagogue, his fingers pouring milk and his mouth drooling honey. The sky-light of the painting progresses from day to night — complete with accurate celestial bodies — while everything else otherwise remains static.
  • SCP-4505-164 ("Lorenzo de' Medici") is an oil painting of Lorenzo de' Medici in advanced stages of decomposition. The painting was commissioned by Lorenzo himself (allegedly) as a method of attaining immortality, creating a fully-animate copy of him before it starved to death in its two-dimensional plane.
  • SCP-4505-201 ("Saint Peter") is a bronze sculpture of Saint Peter commissioned by Pope Leo X as a method of educating the masses on Biblical doctrine. The statue would eventually gain self-awareness, eventually being stored away when is publicly renounced its own faith.
  • SCP-4505-213 ("The Mercy Stoup") is a gold basin on an ivory stand with carvings of the crucifixion of Jesus on it. All liquid poured in it turns into blood within ten to twelve minutes.
  • SCP-4505-254 ("The Lamentation of St. Bartholomew") is an oil painting of a very graphic depiction of Saint Bartholomew about to be flayed. It is known to make audible noises of a man in pain.
  • SCP-4505-265 ("Trinity of the Red Court") an oil-on-canvas portrait of Jesus Christ being hung by the neck in a dark void. Starring at the painting long enough causes the paintings contents to change in various ways (wounds appearing on his body, various figures appearing behind him, changing poses, etc.) and resets if they look away for more than ten seconds.
• Art Imitates Art: Almost every work of art is a replica or Expy of a preexisting work of art, including SCP-4505-035 (Pieta by Michelangelo) and SCP-4505-089 (The Gates of Hell by Auguste Rodin).

SCP-4506 - Eternal Child Star

SCP-4506 is Thomas Sender, a child actor who disappeared at age 10 in 1995, but who has made several appearances in media since then.

---

• Not Allowed to Grow Up/The Ageless: In all appearances of Thomas Sender in media (such as Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Broken Bow" in 2001), he hasn't aged a day over 10.

SCP-4521 - please raise your voice, my hearing isnt what it used to be

SCP-4521 is a tree that the Foundation has contained because it cannot scream. There are several interpretations as to why they're doing this, none of which are completely straightforward.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: Why does the Foundation want the tree to scream? There are several possibilites presented by the article:
  • The tree is a Brown Note Being that makes passersby believe trees can scream.
  • The article is set in a World of Weirdness where trees really can scream or at least talk.
  • The tale "Not All Stories are Told" suggests the tree is the last member of an anomalous species that can scream/talk and has anomalous mutism, making it a double-layered anomaly.
• Cathartic Scream: Dr. Hanz's Word-Salad Horror as a result of the tree influencing him(?) is centered around the idea of this trope, arguing that if it can feel anything (which it might), it's hurting itself from the lack of an outlet for its negative emotions.
• Central Theme: Catharsis. When taking "Not All Stories are Told" into account, the effects of the tree are themed largely around emotional and mental release, the Cathartic Scream being the primary method highlighted.
• In Defence Of Storytelling: The tree's properties seem to be themed around the idea of storytelling as catharsis. "Not All Stories are Told" has the tree cut down and turned to paper, because even if it can't scream, it could still tell a story by being a writing medium.
• Last of His Kind: In "Not All Stories are Told," the tree is the last member of a race of sapient, storytelling trees, born with a defect that rendered it mute; the Foundation contained it because they somehow picked up on its backstory. The tale proper, however, instead has it cut down and turned to paper so that it may tell a thousand more stories another way.
• Word-Salad Horror: The doctor studying the tree eventually snaps from its effects and starts telling a nonsensical story themed around the Cathartic Scream to try and get the tree to scream as well.

SCP-4560 - Everything Is Fine

• Defiant to the End: A side-effect of 4560, the victim is unable to even acknowledge anything negative in their or anyone else's life, as such they are incapable of asking for help. They could be bleeding to death, and would still smile and shrug it off as nothing.
• Dissonant Serenity: Men afflicted with 4560 are unable to express negative emotions, or react to the negative emotions of others. They always seem painfully optimistic regardless of what is happening around them.
• Driven to Suicide: Patient Zero, a man named Robert Hale, was discovered by the Foundation to have hung himself in his apartment after flunking out of college and ending up in crippling debt, his suicide note only saying: "Everything is fine."
• Emotion Suppression: Played with; victims of 4560 can still feel negative emotions (as shown when viewed when they think no one is watching), but lose the ability to express those emotions to others, even through writing or messages.
• Men Are the Expendable Gender: SCP-4560 only affects men ages 15 to 45, women are altogether immune to its effects.

SCP-4587 - A Dog's Purpose

• Disproportionate Retribution: Dr. Pung, Ryan's psychiatrist, dies from slipping on a puddle of Ryan's tears for... simply doing his job.
• Kick the Dog: Chet Worpledang, the antagonist from iteration 27, beats the Frumpt family dog to death with a bowling ball for no other reason than to demoralize the family.
• Sequelitis: In-Universe. Through the use of TotleighSoft's "neverending video technologies," SCP-4587 generates a neverending stream of sequels for DOGM OVIE, with increasingly outlandish premises. The Foundation gets to iteration number 528 before stopping, and only due to the movie's nigh-omnipotent protagonist showing up in the real-life afterlife.
• Serial Escalation: The first iteration of DOGM OVIE is your typical PG live action comedy, where the Frumpt family adopts a dog which Ryan doesn't get along with. The most significant plot beats are the dog drowning by saving Ryan's son, and Ryan quitting his job. By the end of iteration 210, Ryan becomes a deathless being who swallows the Abrahamic God whole after witnessing the death of his 72.5 million Border Collies.
• Wham Line: After the almost entirely redacted description of iteration 528, which apparently involves Ryan going into the afterlife to obtain more dogs, we get an email that includes this line:
  Lisle Naismith: Yesterday on May 19th, a hostile reality bender attacked Bifrost, and Initiative President Niang turned into Alan Rickman for half an hour.
• You Look Familiar: In-Universe, he movie's antagonist is always played by Alan Rickman. Among his roles are Ryan's boss, his psychiatrist, the family's bowling rival, an FBI agent, and the Abrahamic God.

4600- 4699

SCP-4611 - The Bears And The Bees

SCP-4611 is a race of honeybees that build beehives (designated SCP-4611-1) that look like life-size brown bears and can even move and attack real bears.

---

• Insect Queen: The one who apparently controls the beehive's movement. However, no method of killing her without destroying 4611-1 has yet been found.
• Animal Mecha: 4611-1 resemble brown bears, but are actually hives for honeybees.

SCP-4629 - 👉🐑💥

• Baa-Bomb: If sheep are touched 100 times within 3 minutes, they will explode.

SCP-4640 - Let the darn kid experience real life!

• MacGuffin Super-Person: SCP-4640's containment essentially consists of the Foundation trying to get SCP-4640-1 to give them SCP-4640-2 since it's essentially a summoning device for a nigh-unstoppable entity. The Foundation have failed multiple times to do so and still haven't gotten him to part with it.
• One-Man Army: SCP-4640-3 is capable of causing an SMK-Class "One Versus Everyone" Scenario should SCP-4640-3 consider the SCP Foundation a threat.
• Superpower Lottery: SCP-4640-3 has a variety of superpowers, including Super-Strength, Super-Speed, Nigh-Invulnerability, Eye Beams, Flight, Healing Hands, translucent barrier generation, self-duplication, freezing breath, fire and electricity manipulation, amnestic induction. As you can imagine, this makes trying to contain him virtually impossible for the Foundation to do.
• The Cape: SCP-4640-3 is an entity that resembles a stereotypical superhero calling itself "Wonderman." However he only protects whoever holds the pin SCP-4640-2.

SCP-4645 - Blackmailing Computer

• Body Surf: The computer can just jump to a new terminal when its physical body is ruined.
• Evil Is Petty: Justified. The computer is starting its threats at minor inconveniences and gradually getting more extreme to see what threats are terrible enough that the Foundation will concede.
• For the Evulz: There is no known reason for its destructive demands.
• It Can Think: One researcher hypothesizes that the computer is learning with each threat, gradually making them more extreme until it finds out the line where the Foundation will give in to its demands rather than face the consequences. They get confirmation when they upload a digital mnemohazard hazard that wipes its memory.
• Logical Weakness: As a sentient being, the computer is vulnerable to certain info-hazards. It is set back to harmless by wiping its memories of the small threats that failed to work. So it starts over from the beginning.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: The computer's threats start out as very minor inconveniences that are near indistinguishable from mundane bad luck, like everyone stubbing their toe one day. Then, the computer's threats become more extreme as time goes on, with one researcher claiming it may be able to cause k-class scenarios in a year.
• Reality Warper: It will always carry out its threats, which range from everyone in a site stubbing their toe one day, to causing disasters.

SCP-4654 - angels by dado

• My God, What Have I Done?: The Literal-Minded dado deeply regrets the fact that he misunderstood a customer's request for "angel dust" (better known as PCP) as "a drug that turns people into winged humanoids as brittle as dust and eventually makes them fade away like ghosts, killing them in the process", and even sent out letters asking for all boxes of this "angel dust" to be destroyed.

SCP-4666 - The Yule Man

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps.

SCP-4669 - Nuestra Señora de la Revolución Popular

Tropes about Ms. Zapatista:

• Ambiguously Evil: The story becomes increasingly ambiguous on whether or not Ms. Zapatista is actually wrong to pursue her revolution.
• Anthropomorphic Personification: Ms. Zapatista is basically a physical avatar created by Gamers Against Weed that embodies Communism.
• Capitalism Is Bad: Being that Ms. Zapatista is essentially the Anthropomorphic Personification of Communism, both her and her followers fervently believe this.
• Commie Land: The Third World is slowly becoming this under Ms. Zapatista's influence.
• Changed My Mind, Kid: Jude Kryiot (a.k.a. "bluntfiend"), The Leader of Gamers Against Weed, is initially horrified by Ms. Zapatista's body count, but turns around to her way of thinking by the article's end, even delivering a Badass Boast to the Foundation when he goes to join her revolution.
  Jude Kryiot: Sometimes, you have to fight. Sometimes, you don't get the luxury of non-violence. I will never take another life myself. But I will aid her, and I will aid them, in any way I can, for as long as I can. There's always a place, however small, in the revolution for a pacifist. Especially a motherfucker of my esteemed abilities.
• Compelling Voice: Ms. Zapatista (supposedly) has this ability, being able to convince others through her voice to join her worldwide revolution. In reality, she's just a really good orator whose only real anomalous factors are her Complete Immortality and ability to instill a clearer awareness of capitalism's flaws in her listeners.
• Easily Forgiven: SCP-4669 shrugs off Jude Kryiot and Gamers Against Weed initially selling her out to the Foundation, claiming to her interviewer that "I lived long before them, pendejo." Then, it turns out the whole thing was an elaborate plan to nab lots of anomalous materials and recruit many Foundation assets to the revolution.
• Final Solution: The O5 Council has decided that it's just easier to kill everyone affected by SCP-4669, since containment is impossible at this point and no method of reversing the effect has been found. The lone dissenting vote is heavily-implied to be turning around to her point of view.
• The Hecate Sisters: SCP-4669 describes herself as being all three, having been formed by Gamers Against Weed with a union of three different women's souls and the "spirit of the worker's revolution." She also derisively points out that most men who meet her either want to have sex with her or be mothered by her.
• Lack of Empathy: The only real defense against the effect she manifests is to have a very low capacity for empathizing with others. Dr. Garcia, after joining with SCP-4669 and her revolution, isn't surprised when one of his colleagues, who is apparently a very right-wing person, scored low enough on the Foundation's empathy scale to stay on the project, when he is recaptured.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: Gamers Against Weed throwing their weight behind SCP-4669 and pledging loyalty to her revolution comes as a major surprise to the Foundation, who then proceed to order all known GAW members to be killed on sight.
• Manipulative Bastard: Credit where credit is due, the interviews show that Ms. Zapatista truly is a great orator.
• Meaningful Name: Ms. Zapatista takes her name from the "Zapatista Army of National Liberation," a left-wing libertarian-socialist political/militant group that still control a large amount of Chiapas in southern Mexico.
• Next Sunday A.D.: This SCP is set sometime after the 2020s, being that Elon Musk's death in 2026 is mentioned as having been caused by SCP-4669.
• No Place for Me There: Jude Kryiot, having long since crossed the Despair Event Horizon, has thrown himself and the rest of GAW in with Ms. Zapatista's revolution by the end of the article when he comes to this conclusion.
  Jude Kryiot: When I die, I will kneel in front of St. Peter. I'm not about to apologize for my actions. I won't tell him that I'm sorry for allowing blood to be spilled. I will ask him to understand. Maybe God will listen to me. I hope He listens to me.
  No one should ever go hungry. No one should die in the cold when homes lay empty. No one should ever have to suffer needlessly again.
  And if one hundred rich men have to die for this to happen? I won't mourn.
  Ms. Zapatista has sparked the fire inside of me. Maybe it's time to let it out. We'll see.
  I will pray for you. I know you won't pray for me.
• No-Sell: Ms Zapatista's oration effects cannot be truly removed with amnestics. The memory fades, but the insights imparted remain.
• Not Brainwashed: Ms Zapatista's voice doesn't actually brainwash anyone - Rather, it just makes people more aware of the nigh-endless suffering caused by capitalism and inspires them to revolt against their oppressors.
• Poirot Speak: Ms. Zapatista's conversation is sprinkled with Spanish whenever she talks to others.
• Sophisticated as Hell: SCP-4669's eloquent dialogue is often shown interspersed with casual curse words and the like.
• Take That!: Elon Musk is mentioned as having been killed by SCP-4669, and no one really sheds tears over his death, with even bluntfiend (who was initially a strong opponent of Ms. Zapatista) dismissively calling him "that Afrikaaner piece of shit."
• Take Over the World: Ms. Zapatista's (and now, by extension, Gamers Against Weed's) ultimate plan is to implement a global Communist revolution.
• Took a Level in Badass: In this SCP, Gamers Against Weed have essentially thrown their aid in on Ms. Zapatista's side, becoming much more involved in the anomalous world.
• Villain Has a Point: Ms. Zapatista's many criticisms about the corruption of capitalism are accurate to a certain extent, and the Foundation even notes at one point that the only reason they're fighting her socialist revolution is because of it being supposedly sparked by her anomalous nature.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Ms. Zapatista and Gamers Against Weed are now dedicated to overthrowing Western hegemony and bringing about a worldwide socialist revolution, no matter the cost.

SCP-4689 - What Was A Lion?

SCP-4689 refers to a pride of lions that mysteriously appeared in 2143, long after lions had gone extinct in 2037. Since cheetahs and hyenas had since moved in to fill the lion's ecological niche, the pride was euthanized in 2150. The documentation for it was sent back in time to a zoo's storage room in 2019, when lions still exist.

---

• Endangered Species: As a result of the documentation being sent back in time, the Foundation is debating whether it should prevent lions from going extinct.
• Extinct in the Future: Lions went extinct in 2037, and part of the decision to euthanize them was not only because their niche had already been filled, but that the public had accepted the extinction of lions over a century earlier.
• Last of His Kind: Unfortunately, since there was a risk of a genetic bottleneck, the Foundation euthanized the lions in 2150.
• Set Right What Once Went Wrong: The documentation was clearly sent back in time in order to do this.
• Title Drop: "It will be a sad day when a child asks, 'What was a lion?'"

SCP-4692 - The Curious Case of Jackson W. Parnell

• Older Than They Look: Parnell appears to be 45-50, but he's actually 107.
• The Virus: If Parnell is not kept on life support, nearby people will develop radiation poisoning, and after some time, their family members will also get sick, no matter where they are.

4700- 4799

SCP-4702 - Gehenna, Unknown to Man

SCP-4702 is a mansion's fireplace containing a passage to a hellish river valley where people are tormented by their own regrets.

---

• Afterlife Antechamber: It's implied that hell proper is on the other side of the river. The people on the riverbank are just waiting to be sent there and have only their regrets for company.
• Alien Sky: The sky over the riverbank is pitch-black, with a pale yellow light coming from behind the passage's location.
• Bad Liar: Agent Wilkes invents a fleshy hellscape in her report to avoid writing about what she experienced while trying to cross the river. The research lead catches the lie when noticing that her description of the other side is much blunter and more concise than the rest of the report.
• Casts No Shadow: While the fireplace is active, people and objects in the room stop casting shadows.
• Evil Smells Bad: The river is full of filth and rot and smells appropriately horrid.
• Fire and Brimstone Hell: The flickering light seen across the river is heavily implied to be from one of these.
• Impossible Shadow Puppets: The decorations on the fireplace will project these if a fire is lit. The shadows are perfectly visible despite the flickering of the flames and everything else in the room stops casting shadows to make the shadow play more visible.
• Mind Rape: Those who arrive at the riverbank are tormented by whatever memories they regret most. Those who go into the river get visions of those regrets on a loop. In Agent Wilkes's case, she most regrets framing one of her brothers for destroying a Christmas ornament.

SCP-4715 - A Demon Born of War

• Animalistic Abomination: Beyond its regenerative and size-shifting abilities, SCP-4715 has existed since at least the ice age and does not require nutrition or water to survive.
• Blood Knight: SCP-4715's personality summed up. All it is interested in is engaging in violence and drawing others into conflict.
• The Empath: Related to its Sizeshifter abilities, SCP-4715 is able to detect when people and intelligent beings in its area have hostile intentions.
• The Fair Folk: The Demon came into existence during the Children of the Night's war with the fae, making them one of two parties present and possibly responsible for SCP-4715 coming to our reality,.
• Forever War: Implied to be its motive due to, when alone, it intentionally goading and driving people it finds into conflict.
• Healing Factor: While difficult, it is possible to harm SCP-4715. The problem is that it will never stay injured, quickly regenerating from any wounds due to its indestructible skull and spinal column.
• It Can Think: In a sense. Left alone it will behave no different to any other animal, but it has been seen to use weapons and to actively draw more people into situations of conflict.
• The Juggernaut: Due to a combination of its strength, ferocity and nigh invulnerability.
• Kaiju: The upper limit for SCP-4715's Size Shifting is currently believed to be 24 metres tall, but no one really knows how big it could get.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: As if shrugging off gunfire, explosions and fire weren't enough, SCP-4715 isn't even phased by poisons and chemicals, with the exception of eye and nose irritants.
• Revenge: It was imprisoned by SCP-1000 until its last remaining guardian freed it, hoping that it would destroy humanity in revenge of humanity overthrowing SCP-1000.
• Size Shifting: Tied into its empathic abilities, SCP-4715 grows larger based on the number of people and creatures around it with hostile intentions, as well as the intensity of these feelings. Ancient murals show it reaching kaiju proportions.
• Super-Strength: While not specified to what extent, SCP-4715 is described as possessing "exceptional strength."
• Weaksauce Weakness: Can be driven off by pepper spray. This is implied to be due to pepper spray being a non-lethal deterrent used to avoid excessive conflict.
• Weird Historical War: SCP-4715 first came into the world during one of these waged between SCP-1000 and the Fae during the ice age.

SCP-4768 - The Tall Tales of Ulysses B. Donkman

See Characters.SCP Foundation SC Ps.

SCP-4781 - Sour and Dill

SCP-4781 is a species of slug that feeds on vinegar, even though it greatly dulls their senses. Unfortunately for them, they have a cognitohazardous effect that causes them to look like dill pickles. Even more unfortunately, they also feel and taste like real pickles, causing them to be accidentally trafficked worldwide by being shipped with normal pickles.

• Black Comedy: The poor bastards being functionally identical to real pickles is played for all it's worth, with an interview log having a D-Class chow down on an instance in grotesque detail and feeling nothing at all. None of it is ever really taken seriously, not that you'd really want to.
• I Ate WHAT?!: It's estimated one in four pickles on the planet are actually these slugs awaiting a messy demise by an unwitting human eating them.
• Perception Filter: Anyone that isn't a robot or dosed up on antimemetics will see the slugs as sliced pickles. They're harmless to eat and feel and taste like real pickles, too, so they wind up in pickle jars across the world.

SCP-4790 - Do not go gentle into that good night.

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

4800- 4899

SCP-4812 - Wrath

• Adventure Archaeologist: Connington, an old British noble, was apparently one, travelling across the world to see all the great profanities (save YASH, whom he did not dare seek out). The Foundation are using his research as a referencepoint to seek out the profanities.
• Defeat as Backstory: Of a kind. All three profanities came to be because the Sky King Sarrus VIII Apollyon went to war with the Fae. A captured Fae princess, rather than be taken home as a trophy, cast a curse that unleashed the three profanities.
• Dramatic Irony: The GOC have somehow managed to uncover part of the story of the Profanities, but are unaware of the Fae's involvement (or even if the Fae exist at all). Therefore, when they found a non-human corpse deep underground, they assumed it was YASH, the profanity described as having dragged cities into the earth, not realizing that the buried princess wasn't human to begin with. The Foundation (and, by extension, the reader) realize that the GOC have actually gotten YASH and the Fae Princess switched around.
• I Have Many Names: Each of them are known by many names. S is the Profane Dark and YASH, the last foe of man; E is the Profane Restrictor, Vinuvinex and PLUTO to the GOC; K is the Profane Adamant, the star that cannot be seen, the Lamenellant and MARS to the GOC.
• Odd Name Out: Lamenellant, Vinuvinex...and YASH. The latter isn't just monosyllabic, but always rendered in ALL CAPS, emphasizing how YASH is especially bad news.
• Time of Myths: 4812 is part of the Project PARAGON series, which concerns itself with events happening prior to the Great Flood. The details of this age are expanded upon in SCP-4840.
• Revenge: The Profanities were summoned by a fae princess as revenge for the Apollyons conquering and destroying her people.

Tropes applying to 4812-s, the Profane Dark

• Blob Monster: -S is a sort of blob that festers in the catacombs beneath paris. The Foundation don't know exactly what it looks like, due to the Brown Note bellow.
• Brown Note: -S is an intense cognitohazard, able to kill humans who look at it for just a moment. Even removed hairs have this effect, only less lethal.
• The Dreaded: Connington (or whomever he translated from) wrote very little about -S, and said that he dared not seek it out. Probably for the best, due to the aforementioned cognitohazard.

Tropes applying to 4812-e, the Profane Restrictor

• An Ice Person: The restrictor's primary ability is that it is a near-perfect heat sink, absorbing all heat in its vicinity, which is almost always immediately lethal to humans nearby.
• Tailor-Made Prison: Par for the course for an SCP, of course. The Foundation keeps it in a room kept at 1400 degrees celcius, after dumping it in molten iron first.
• You Killed My Father: It managed to kill the reigning sky king's daughter before he killed it with the spear of the nonbeliever, tossing it into a volcano afterward.

Tropes applying to 4812-k, the Profane Adamant

• And I Must Scream: Possibly. According to Connington, it takes the faces of those it kills, which seems to be literal. If it's the same being as the one seen in SCP-4935 "Hereafter," it almost certainly takes the souls of those it kills too.
• Animalistic Abomination: It resembles a blend of stag beetle and scorpion, is very big, seemingly does not need sustenance, and has a human face. It also may or may not eat souls.
• Nigh-Invulnerability: The Foundation thinks it may be a "perfect reflector," since any attack sent against it deals no damage but is sent right back.

SCP-4823 - The Whole World Has Gone Bananas!

• Alternate Universe: U-3567 is a pocket universe inside an indestructible banana inhabited by plants, with banana people being the dominant species.
• Apocalyptic Log: The second addendum consists of excerpts from Valery's diary, which starts out like a typical teenage diary, but then details the devastation to U-3567 by the fruit flies.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Foundation ambassadors accidentally brought with them fruit flies to U-3567. By the time they found out, it was too late and the end began for U-3567.
• The Plague: Foundation ambassadors accidentally brought a fruit fly pair with them, the fruit flies reproduced and killed a U-3567 representative, and then started rapidly spreading, bringing an end to U-3567, as animals were foreign there.
• Plant Person: U-3567 inhabitants are plants. Humanoid bananas are the prominent species, filling the same role as humans.

SCP-4831 - There Are Innocent People on Death Row

• And I Must Scream: SCP-4831-1, aka Tucker Miles, is a 17-year-old boy who is trapped in his inexplicably indestructible bathroom.
• Despair Event Horizon: Tucker hits this when the fire department fails to free him with an axe and never quite recovers, fully convinced that he'll spend the rest of his life trapped in the bathroom. The next transcript goes in deeper on this, and it's heartwrenching.
  Mrs. Miles: Please, calm down…
  SCP-4831-1: I can't, Momma. I just can't. I was so happy! I was so happy. I'm going to fucking die in this bathroom. I'm never going to see you again. I can't calm down! Get me out of here! I don't want to die in here!
• Undying Loyalty: Mrs. Miles resolves to stay by Tucker's door "until the day she dies," so that her son doesn't have to go through all this alone.

SCP-4840 - The Demon Lancelot and the Flying City of Audapaupadopolis

• Cain and Abel and Seth: 4840-A's tale talks about how Adam el Asem's crown was coveted by his sons, two of which tried to take it by force, while the third (and most beloved) stole it in the night. In the end, -A reveals that he was once Seth, but feels undeserving of the name.
• Creation Myth: He tells one for the entire Foundationverse, detailing how creation was made by IS and IS NOT, the two truths of reality.
• Floating Continent: SCP-4840 is a large, ancient city that floats 7.8 kilometers above an empty region in the Russian Arctic.
• Ghost Town: SCP-4840 used to be inhabited, however it's now abandoned after a turmoil occurred in its kingdom.
• Home of the Gods: SCP-4840-A described the former inhabitants of SCP-4840 as "impossibly powerful," and the murals of the Temple Of Sunrise display images of many characters identified as deities across the SCP-verse, such as the Scarlet King, The Broken God, and Yaldabaoth.
• Humanoid Abomination: SCP-4840-B is a massive, vaguely humanoid entity with six eyes, six arms and six legs, can only be seen with thermal lenses, and hasn't stopped outputting its body temperature despite -A describing it as "dead."
• Passing the Torch: 4880-A is old and dying, but he knows the great Profanities of the fae are coming soon, and they bring hell with them. He tells the Foundation what he knows in the hopes that they will protect the world once he's gone.
• Start of Darkness: In his tale, Adam el Asem was a good king until he took an iron crown from the heavens and declared himself king of all creation, infected with the first vice of envy. -A holds himself personally responsible for this, as he had, as a child, asked his father for a star, and his father reached out and plucked out one in the shape of an iron crown...
• Time Abyss: 4840-A is impossibly old, having been around since the very universe was young. He eventually reveals that he is the son of Adam el Asem, the first king of men.
• The Time of Myths: The PARAGON canon this SCP is part of mostly concerns itself with the antediluvian (that is, before the biblical Great Flood) kingdom of Apollyona. SCP-4840 is from a time that the Apollyonites would consider the time of myths.
• Was Once a Man: SCP-4840-A tells a Foundation researcher that it was once Lancelot, before he got corrupted after the Three Profanities emerged

SCP-4867 - Wyoming Territory, 1867-1870

SCP-4867 is a large blue diamond known as the Kuh-e Parande or Kuh-e Vaght. Already enough of a reason to be a Slippery MacGuffin in the frontier days, the diamond also comes with a catch: it's not actually a diamond at all, but a universal constant which the cosmos may or may not revolve around. In practice, this simply makes it indestructible, but there seems to be a bit more than meets the eye.

---

• Artifact of Attraction: It is eventually discovered that SCP-4867's properties are only known because it has a memetic influence that tells anyone who sees it about itself. Although given that this is the time of the frontier, you don't really need that to throw hands over who gets to have it.
• Blatant Lies: Henry Banks claims he destroyed SCP-4867 to invoke No MacGuffin, No Winner because of how pointless it was. However, the key practical property of the diamond is that you can't do this. Somehow, the Foundation is fooled for at least a while.
• Idiot Ball: You'd think the Foundation would immediately recognize that a note saying that SCP-4867 has been destroyed is full of shit given they know about its properties. They don't, and even give Banks a Foundation Star for a brief while.
• Lampshade Hanging: Notes attached to the article point out SCP-4867's status as a bonafide MacGuffin: an artifact that's hunted down constantly, but has no real bearing on anything in the long run.
• MacGuffin: The classical tale of the priceless ancient artifact everyone wants to fight over, with an Artifact of Attraction twist to it. It also hits a bit too close to the trope's definition, as it's implied Banks thinks the hunt is pointless and wants to keep the diamond out of anyone's hands to stop it from causing so much chaos.
• Slippery MacGuffin: SCP-4867 keeps changing hands and disappearing because of its inherent value. Henry Banks later discovers that there's a memetic influence where anyone who sees the diamond becomes aware of its properties, likely complicating matters.

SCP-4880 - Chewin' Gum

• Body of Bodies: Those who vanish after chewing SCP-4880 become part of a grotesque mass of people turned into chewing gum material.

SCP-4882 - Coordinated Universal Time

• Dramatic Irony: Most of the people involved don't realize that leap seconds are what's stopping the Broken God from being rebuilt.
• Meaningful Name: The article number references SCP-882, the heart of Mekhane.
• Pieces of God: In this case, every electronic device is a piece.
• Spiritual Antithesis: Both TwistedGears-Kaktus' Proposal and SCP-4882 deal with the Broken God being rebuilt. But while TG-K's is mechanical, built by a small group of followers, and destroyed by physical force; SCP-4882's is electronic, built by technological society as a whole, and kept at bay by diplomacy.

SCP-4885 - Find Him

• Bilingual Bonus: Procedure Invenient Eum is Latin for - you guessed it - "find him."
• Brown Note: Becoming aware of its location means you trigger its infohazardous properties, wherein it kills you and basically turns you into a human Where's Wally page.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: When someone learns of its location, it'll teleport inside of them and emerge from their throat, killing them instantly by destroying their organs and bones in the process. If they're within its reach, it will instead force itself down their throat and explode out of their pelvis. As if either wasn't enough, their carcass also gets covered in yellow gunge that gives way to Where's Wally? illustrations coating their skin, and those bodies also share the same properties as SCP-4885 itself - being aware of the corpses' location also means you get turned into a human-shaped Where's Wally page too, and so on and so forth.
• Disaster Dominoes: When it was first found, it assaulted a Mobile Task Force team after killing one of them when they found it in the basement of a wooden house they were hunting another anomaly in. One of them broadcast their location to a nearby site in hopes of getting help. You can see where this went next.
• Eyeless Face: The entity has no eyes.
• Groin Attack: If SCP-4885's next victim is within its reach (usually after witnessing an attack), instead of teleporting into their body and forcing themselves out of the mouth, they will instead force their way down the victim's mouth and exit their body through the pelvis.
• Heroic Sacrifice: After SCP-4885's attack, a lead researcher establishes Location i and a series of AI algorithms designed to help all automated machines track down SCP-4885-1 instances to hopefully end its reign of terror. However, this means that he knows where SCP-4885 is, so he supposedly ends up its last victim before he can hide away in a place where he himself can't be found.
• Humanoid Abomination: It can dislocate and relocate all of its joints at will and it can become almost amorphous during the process, allowing it to squeeze into any space it wants. Furthermore, it is also able to instantly teleport across vast distances to track down potentially any human on the planet to kill them brutally if they ever find out where it is. And it also resembles Wally/Waldo, but has pale skin and an Eyeless Face.
• Kill It Through Its Stomach: How SCP-4885 disposes of anyone who becomes aware of its location. Not only that, it just violently and agonizingly rips its way out through their throat and obliterates their innards doing so. If the victim is within reach upon learning its location, it will instead force itself down their throat and out their pelvic area.
• My Significance Sense Is Tingling: SCP-4885 has the innate ability to sense if anyone becomes aware of its whereabouts at any moment, but this doesn't apply if the name of its location is too vague, like "Planet Earth" or "China."
• Orifice Evacuation: When somebody knows of SCP-4885's location, it will teleport inside them and violently rip their way out from their body through their mouth.
• Orifice Invasion: If SCP-4885's current target is within reach (usually from directly witnessing it attack someone else), then it will force itself down their mouth into their body and violently exit through their pelvis.
• Speak of the Devil: A variation. You can describe SCP-4885's physical appearance and what it does and nothing will happen. But the second you get a single clue of what its current location may be, even when limited to the name of said location... well, that's when things get yucky.

SCP-4890 - Dr. Wondertainment's Guide To History

• Artistic License – History: In-Universe, with "Dr. Papertainment's" recaps of history often going off on bizarre rants that aren't accurate to the mentioned events. For example, Dr. Papertainment claims that 57 people died aboard the Hindenberg and not the historical body count of 36, with the additional casualties having been clowns that had hidden aboard the blimp to avoid paying ticket fare.
• Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: When asked to describe the assassination of Julius Caesar, Dr. Papertainment instead claimed Caesar survived and established several businesses and properties bearing his name, like Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas and Little Caesar's Pizza.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Dr. Papertainment, the host of SCP-4890, will often go off on odd tangents when attempting to describe historical events, and that's even when his details aren't just wrong half the time (like his claim that some dinosaurs were clowns that used jokes to track their prey).
• Continuity Nod: Many previous SCPs are mentioned during Dr. Papertainment's "recaps" of history.
  • For one, Dr. Papertainment alludes to both the many conspiracy theories and "Project Heimdall" when discussing the moon landing.
  • When talking about the Battle of Stalingrad, Dr. Papertainment claims both sides were armed with "UFOs, molecular fission cannons, flesh bombs, human-ape hybrids, mechanical automatons, and grown conventional weaponry."
  • Finally, Dr. Papertainment describes the "first war in history" as consisting of humanity, their "siblings" (most of whom were "odd" or "hairy"), and some sympathetic gods fighting against a mighty horde of nightmares.
• Deadpan Snarker: When he gives a relatively accurate description on how the ancient Egyptians built the Pyramids of Giza (his only deviation from history is how the ancient Egyptians used genetically engineered giants to help move some blocks), he briefly snarks "Better than saying it was aliens, right?"
• Historical In-Joke: Dr. Papertainment claims that the Library of Alexandria was accidentally burned down by a member of the Serpent's Hand smoking inside.
• Literal-Minded: According to Dr. Papertainment, the Boston Tea Party was a literal tea party, and the only reason the colonists dumped tea into the harbor was so a whale that was present could also have some tea to drink.
• Master of Illusion: When SCP-4980 (a children's pop-up book) is opened in an interior space, Dr. Papertainment will materialize in front of the SCP, and the surrounding area will drastically alter to depict whatever historical event he is asked questions about. The effect immediately ends when the reader either closes the book or leaves the room where SCP-4890 is active.
• Product Placement: Another In-Universe example, with Dr. Papertainment clearly trying to plug SCP-1696 as much as he possibly can when told to depict the creation of the universe.

4900- 4999

SCP-4910 - "The Grinner"

• Animalistic Abomination: It's a monster described as a "dental quadruped" that causes uncontrolled tooth growth in those who witness it.
• Autocannibalism: A brief note mentions that transformative autocannibalism claimed five MTF agents sent to capture it.
• Body Horror: Eyewitnesses of the creature will succumb to rapid overproduction of teeth. Those who witness a vector suffer even worse, eventually having teeth grow all over their body as well.
• Brown Note Being: Anyone civilian who witnesses it will get uncontrolled growth of teeth in their mouth. Recording devices that attempt to record it will have dentin manifest in their critical components. Furthermore, it can turn people into one of these, giving them a more potent version of its cognitohazardous effects.
• Curse of Babel: It prevents eyewitnesses from being able to speak by causing uncontrolled growth of teeth in their mouth, thus inhibiting their ability to verbalize properly.
• It Can Think: One of the reasons why it is so dangerous is that despite appearing to act like a mindless predator, it is capable of distinguishing between normal civilians and those who specifically seek to capture/harm it. It eats the former as prey and converts the latter into vectors that carry its cognitohazardous properties.
• More Teeth than the Osmond Family: The only footage of the creature shows its mouth having a lot of extra teeth, and it's described as a "dental quadruped" implying that it might have even more teeth all over. Most direct witnesses will also exhibit this, having uncontrolled growth of teeth. Those who witness an infected vector befall a similar process, with the addition of dental growth spreading to their lower body cavities.
• The Tooth Hurts: Victims of 4910's effect have rapid, painful uncontrollable growth of teeth in their mouth. It's even worse with those who witness a vector, as the dental growth begins to spread to their lower body, causing pain management to become impossible. The only way to cure this is to forcibly remove the teeth within 1-2 hours.
• To Serve Man: It primarily feeds on humans, which are noted to be used as sustenance.
• The Unsmile: Eyewitnesses of SCP-4910 are forced into a painful smile as their teeth grow uncontrollably.
• The Virus: SCP-4910 can spread its Brown Note effect to people who witness it, targeting those who seek to capture or kill it. Those who witness a vector will suffer an even more severe tooth-growing fate than those who witness the anomaly.
• Walking Techbane: Any recording device that attempts to record it will have dentin manifest in their critical components, rendering the device inoperable.

SCP-4918- Bergentruckung

• Action Politician: After everything he's done in his life, Frederick I decides to take on the appellation of Frederick Bismarck, and becomes a member of the EU Parliament.
• The Bard: SCP-4918-3 comes off as this, trying to relieve the suffering or mitigate the damage of those affected by the war and the 1918 flu pandemic using music as opposed to actively participating in combat.
• Can't Refuse the Call Anymore: Frederick implies that at least some of the SCP-4918 instances were forced awake in order to aid in the war effort; in particular, he found all of the ravens on the mountain he was sleeping under were shot dead by German bullets.
• Complete Immortality: All SCP-4918 instances possess this, being completely immune to aging, disease, and injury.
• Heroic BSoD: Poor Fionn Mac Cumhaill goes through this the worst of the four, outright refusing to answer the call of the Dord Fiann if it's blown again, due to the horrors he witnessed during the First World War.
• Historical In-Joke: A soldier named John befriends SCP-4918-1 (King Arthur), who gets him an interest in Early English literature. John recounts this in a letter to his wife, Edith. It's fairly easy to piece together that this John is, in fact, J. R. R. Tolkien. Not only that, but Tolkien's predecessor at Oxford, Arthur Napier, acts as a translator for Arthur when he first wakes up.
• King in the Mountain: Depicts four figures that are considered "Sleeping Hero" myths— King Arthur, Fionn Mac Cumhail, Vainamoinnen, and Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor— awakening in World War I. "Bergentruckung" is even the German word for such legends.
• The Stinger: Frederick I says that not only are there more Bergentruckung other than the four of them, but he accidentally lets it slip that Sir Francis Drake is among them.
• War Is Hell: All of the SCP-4918 instances are used to glorious battles with less murky morals, only to be brought back during a time when Europe was, as the Lady of the Lake puts it, a "Charnel House."

SCP-4934 - The House That Chuck Built

• Real Fake Door: Attempt #5 revealed a trompe l'oeil painted on a brick wall just beyond the door.

SCP-4950 - Triple Six Five Forked Tongue

Tropes related to the Archon Lord:

• Becoming the Mask: A hilarious variant - The brief excerpt we get from SCP-4950 implies that the weird way that its cult were trying to summon it (namely, through Fortnite, of all things) has made it become influenced by that game in how it acts.
  SCP-4950: invoked Wh... wh... where... where we... where we dropping, boys?
• Human Sacrifice: The Archon Lord's ritual requires this in the number of millions just to get it to arrive. However, the People of the Lie realized that in-game avatars for a video game can technically count as a human.
• Eldritch Abomination: "The Archon Lord," the central figure of the religion practiced by the People of the Lie, who has unending yet paradoxical hunger, and will emerge in the human world once fed enough sacrifices.
• Sealed Evil in a Can: SCP-4950 (the Archon Lord) is successfully contained within an automated exorcism pentagram system around the computer monitor it was trying to emerge out of.

Tropes related to the People Of The Lie:

• Apocalypse Cult: The People of the Lie are a small group originating as some online gamer buddies before getting into the occult.
• Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The People of the Lie quickly realized that their faith was the main component in whether or not their rituals would work. Notably, they had previously succeeded in summoning an actual demon when the ritual was just them playing Warhammer 40,000..
• Laser-Guided Karma: The leaders of the People of the Lie are killed by SCP-4950 after summoning it.
• Loophole Abuse: As the People of the Lie realized, humans dying in the name of the Archon Lord don't have to be physical humans, and so they set up guilds online where people would kill each other in the name of their god.
• Post Modern Magick: invoked The summoning ritual for the Archon Lord required the death of several million humans for it to be summoned. Getting around this problem, the People of the Lie set up online guilds in Fortnite where people would shout "Blood for the Blood God!" as they killed each other, with their pseudo-belief and the death of virtual humans being used to aid the ritual. They also had an amiibo hooked into their gaming computer so as to serve as an avatar that their god would emerge from when the ritual was finished.
• Spanner in the Works: The People of the Lie's Loophole Abuse-laden plan to summon their god almost worked, but the weaknesses of modern computers and technology caused the ritual to fail halfway.

SCP-4955 [striked out] KNIFE - A Knife Only Seen Through Gaslight

• Amnesia Danger: Harris tries classifying it as an anti-meme — a type of anomaly that defies people's senses and memories — and with the sole exception of him, no one knows about it, nor are they able to acknowledge it in any way directly or indirectly.
• Captain's Log: Most of the article are personal entries uploaded by Harris, his research into the knife and his slow descent into madness.
• Sanity Slippage: In his failure to try and understand the anomaly or get others to acknowledge it, Junior Researcher Harris slowly descends into madness. It starts with minor frustration, then auditory hallucinations of people laughing at him, paranoid delusions, all culminating in him using the knife to kill his colleague.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: The last time it was seen (at least by Harris), it was still embedded in the corpse of Researcher Smalls. Since the knife and anything having to do with it becomes unnoticeable, the knife and the body are still where he left it in plain sight.

SCP-4960 - Why the Foundation Funded a Hentai to Awaken a Sumerian Love Goddess (OR: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Kedesh-Nanaya)

Tropes about Kedesh-Nanaya:

• Been There, Shaped History:
  • Parodied, with the Foundation having literally created hentai based on Kedesh-Nanaya so as to keep her active as a valuable Foundation asset.
  • Played straight when it's revealed that SCP-4960 first instructed Abernathy on how to find the Garden of Eden, which eventually led to him encountering the Gate Guardian and formally creating the SCP Foundation.
• Beware the Silly Ones: It can be hard at times to remember that despite being a fertility goddess dependent on people masturbating to her to stay conscious, she's both a highly valuable Foundation asset and...well, a goddess.
• Gods Need Prayer Badly: Unless Procedure 166-Anahita is regularly preformed, Kedesh-Nanaya falls into a deep slumber and becomes inactive.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: Kedesh-Nanaya doesn't actually display that much in terms of godlike power or the like. However, she's shown to be exceptionally intelligent, and her lending just some of her vast knowledge of the occult and countless magical practices is explained as being the main reason why the Foundation has become so successful in the modern-day.
• Hidden Depths: Abernathy slowly realizes over the course of his letters that Kedesh-Nanaya likely sealed herself away on purpose millennia ago so as to avoid having her cult merged with Ishtar's, and it's more than likely that the entire reason she's helping the Foundation is that their veneration of her and tendency to contain godlike entities (the latter explicitly used as a rationale for considering the organization as a "god" in its own right) has essentially given her an entire new cult of worshipers to enjoy and a new virtual pantheon to head. All of this helps show that she might be a lot more manipulative and cunning than she may first seem.
• Meaningful Name: "Kedesh" was the name of an ancient and now abandoned Canaanite city found in modern-day Israel, while "Nanaya" was an ancient goddess of sexuality and warfare worshiped by the Sumerians and Akkadians before her worship was merged into that of the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar.
• Ms. Fanservice: Repeatedly lampshaded In-Universe. Heck, it's practically parodied with the absurdly blatant case of Male Gaze in her article's description:
  "SCP-4960 manifests as a buxom woman of average height and curvaceous build, with ample breasts, firm buttocks, and shapely legs. Her skin tone is coppery and without blemish, save for a small mole on her upper lip. Her sleek, black hair falls to below her hips, and shimmers blue-black like a raven's wing. SCP-4960 generally prefers to go nude in her chambers, although she is fond of wearing finely wrought gold jewelry and diaphanous robes cut to emphasize her voluptuous figure."
• Nice Girl: All jokes about her being a fertility goddess aside, Kedesh-Nanaya is shown to be a remarkably pleasant person who seems to be perfectly happy to help the Foundation with her arcane knowledge. In a Cosmic Horror Story like the Foundationverse, this comes across as all the more remarkable. However, it's implied that she might secretly have ulterior motives, being that she's now essentially the Foundation's goddess because of how important she's become to the organization as a whole.
• Our Gods Are Greater: Apparently, they (or, at the very least, their earthly manifestations/avatars) depend on people performing rituals in their name in order to be more active than a vegetable.
• Pals with Jesus: An interesting variation. As Abernathy notes, the ancient Mesopotamians viewed their monarchy as a "divine mandate," with the king being a vessel through which gods could speak to humanity. Furthermore, the consort of a goddess would also be considered to have a divine mandate. Thusly, Abernathy theorizes that at least part of the Foundation's meteoric rise in power is the result of the entire organization being the "beloved" of Kedesh-Nanaya.
• Post Modern Magick: The Foundation eventually realized that Procedure 166-Anahita doesn't need to be conducted in-person with the goddess for it to work, just to an image of the goddess' likeness. As such, they've disseminated numerous images of her online along with even funding hentai & visual novels that star her likeness so that more people will masturbate to her and the Foundation doesn't need to do as much work.
• Revision: Of a sorts. This SCP is described as being one of the oldest SCPs the Foundation has ever contained and one which has stayed in containment for the longest period of time. In fact, it appears that she was "contained" even before the Foundation truly existed in its current form (back when it was known as "the Secret Society for Cultural Preservation").
• Sealed Good in a Can: Kedesh-Nanaya was originally buried in a crypt in what is now northern Syria when she was discovered by European archaeologists in 1921.
• Serious Business: Kedesh-Nanaya's continued assistance to the Foundation is seen as so important that the Foundation has literally funded hentai with depictions of her as the main star just so more people will masturbate to her image and keep her active for longer periods of time.
• Sex Goddess: A literal one, Kedesh-Nanaya is specifically described as being a "Bronze Age sex and fertility goddess of beauty, carnal pleasure, and erotic femininity." There's an entire erotic balbale singing praises to her sexual prowess.
• Stylistic Suck: The physical description given of Kedesh-Nanaya on the main article page is full of ridiculous Purple Prose and downright cringe-worthy detail concerning the description of the female form. Amusingly enough, most of the Foundation's staff doesn't seem to like it any better, but keep it since it's also a form of "worship."
• Time Abyss: Kedesh-Nanaya is a pretty obvious example, what with her being a goddess that was first worshiped during the Bronze Age and all. In fact, the erotic balbale found in her resting place all but states that she was first worshiped in ancient Mesopotamia.

SCP-4966 - Tubbioca: Devourer of Souls, Consumer of Secrets, Lord of Munchies

• All Animals Are Dogs: It behaves like a domestic cat and makes sounds like one too.
• Big Eater: It can devour a corpse of any size, and once successfully ate a dead blue whale without apparent effort.
• Hates Being Alone: Highly social and becomes anxious and withdrawn if not socialized with regularly.
• Living Toys: SCP-4966 is an animate stuffed toy similar in shape to a Disney Tsum Tsum.
• The Needless: Shows no apparent need to eat, drink, or breathe, although it will imitate these actions if something or someone else is doing the same.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: SCP-4966 is a soft, fuzzy Living Toy that behaves like a kitten and regularly asks for biscuits. The testing log describes it falling asleep inside a leather boot and playing in a pile of leaves.
• Trademark Favorite Food: Biscuits, or as it calls them, "munchies."

SCP-4971 - Rituals

SCP-4971-▽

• Animalistic Abomination: SCP-4971-▽ resembles an enormous deer, orbited by several white orbs of light. Its neck cuts of, and instead of a head it has a series of concentric glowing triangles and massive horns made of white light. It is also a god.
• Evil Is Not a Toy: The Daughters of Eden are neo-druids who hate modern society for what it has done to the earth, and want to summon SCP-4971-▽ in order to undo man's corruption. Unfortunately, none of them did any substantial research into what SCP-4971-▽ actually is, since the world it would bring about were it to escape its reality is deffinitely not natural in any sense of the word.
• Godzilla Threshold: The Ethics Committee notably would be willing to sacrifice all of humanity if it was necesarry (they have means to fix such events), but don't consider this important enough.
• Human Sacrifice: The Daughters of Eden performed a ritual that involved a few human sacrifices in order to open a portal to an extradimensional space (4971) containing a hostile god-entity (SCP-4971-▽). The portal can be closed with a similar ritual, also involving human sacrifice, but, unlike the initial ritual, the required sacrifice for this one grows exponentially every hour... and is currently greater than the sum of human life.
• Meaningful Name: While the pocket dimension and SCP-4971-▽ are the main draws, the actual important part of the SCP is the rituals. Specifically, the ritual used to summon SCP-4971-▽ (involving a small amount of Human Sacrifice), and the ritual to banish it (involving more human sacrifice than there are people on the earth).
• Odd Job Gods: SCP-4971-▽, the entity inhabiting SCP-4971, is a god of rituals. While a very specific domain, it actually lends it immense power, as both mystical rituals like the occult ones used to invoke it, and mundane rituals like making your breakfast in a specific way every morning give it power.
• Shout-Out: "The Last Appeal of Biphi" was stolen from the Miskatonic University, refering to a Recurring Element in H. P. Lovecraft's works.
• Sinister Geometry: SCP-4971-▽ is associated with concentric circles and triangles, with every living thing in the pocket dimension it rules over being branded by them in some way.
• Tome of Eldritch Lore: "The Last Appeal of Biphi," the transcribed words of a witch named Biphi who was killed during the inquisitions. It contains some minor texts of no importance, but it also contains the ritual for opening a portal to SCP-4971. A group of wannabe occultists used it to bring about the possible end of the world.

SCP-4973 - Dead Men Walking

• Driven to Suicide: At least six Site-30 personnel have committed suicide due to the hauntings.
• Ghostly Goals: Type B, being the vengeful spirits of dead D-Class personnel.
• Jacob Marley Apparel: SCP-4973 and other ghosts still wears the D-Class jumpsuits they died in with others also showing the injuries they sustained at the time of thier death.
• Our Ghosts Are Different: SCP-4973 is the ghost of D-10000 (formerly known as Gordon Kardivachlus Markovitch) who was killed after an experiment with a classified SCP and now seeks revenge against the Foundation for his demise. However...
• We Are Everywhere: SCP-4973 isn't the only ghost haunting the Foundation.

SCP-4975 - Time's Up

• Abnormal Limb Rotation Range: Its cervical vertebrae are not interconnected, allowing it to continuously rotate them one at a time to produce its trademark clicking sound.
• Animalistic Abomination: Skirts the line between this and Humanoid Abomination—it's a predatory being with the unusual property of being able to exist in two places at once and its physical form resembles a twisted parody of a bird.
• Art Imitates Art: The creature is based off of the creature from Salvator Rosa's La Tentazione di Sant'Antonio.
• Astral Projection: It can project an image of itself at range only visible to its designated victim, which is still capable of attacking and eating it. As such the Foundation is considering an upgrade to Keter.
• The Croc Is Ticking: While stalking prey, it produces a continuous ticking sound very much like a clock using the vertebrae in its neck. It stops when preparing to attack.
• Feathered Fiend: It's a horrifying, predatory monstrosity that looks like a bird, though ironically, it has no feathers.
• The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: If you look at its page for two minutes while wearing headphones, you'll start to hear a ticking noise.
• Hell Is That Noise: Invoked; it produces a ticking noise like a clock to unnerve its prey as it hunts them.
• Hidden Harasser: The SCP itself is visible and tangible to everyone alike, but its Astral Projection can only be seen, heard, and be interacted with by its chosen victim. Only its victim will hear the ticking noise that drives them paranoid and unnerved, and when it decides to feed it becomes nearly impossible to save its victim via external methods.
• Ironic Nursery Tune: It's said to be the inspiration of numerous German nursery rhymes, one of which is provided as an addendum. The provided example was made up by the author, but they ended up finding an actual nursery rhyme that was eerily similar...
• Karma Houdini: In a sense: while it's technically a prisoner of the Foundation, its ability to astral project means that it's able to hunt and kill its victims just as easily as if it was still free.
• Lean and Mean: A tall, lanky, man-eating monster.
• Might as Well Not Be in Prison at All: Thanks to its capability to use Astral Projection, it is perfectly able to stalk and kill its victims even while contained, and worse still, said projection can only be seen by and interacted with by its victim.
• Terrible Ticking: Only its victim will hear the constant ticking noise it creates, often going paranoid trying to find the source of the sound.
• To Serve Man: Humans are its favorite food.
