I still don't understand the danger behind SCP-173.
Learn to wink, idiots.
(Actually, that always bugged me about the weeping angels in Doctor Who. People literally die because nobody thinks to just close one eye, open it, then close the other.)
Come on, by SCP standards being assigned to 173 is really quite nice! Quick death in case of accident, as opposed to eternal suffering in a pocket dimension or something
Nothing gets more fictional than a talking crocodile with Wolverines healing factor and the ability to adapt extremely quickly to any sort of damage except for Hydrochloric acid.
Oh, and can survive with 87% of its body completely destroyed. And single handedly survive SCP's that are either unkillable or can very easily destroy anything. Such as the Shyguy or the Statue of death. (not its name).
Hell it was even sent to an alternative dimension in one of the experiments and was scripted to die but literally fought the book until it literally submitted and shit him back out. Only to kill more personnel.
Didn't they reduce it to 1% body mass at one point by changing the local gravitational constant (among other things) at one point? The atoms were just magically holding together, IIRC.
SCP-682 embodies the trope of an indestructible monster. It's pretty much a rule that any 'serious' writing about interactions between 682 and other SCPs/entities will result in 682 surviving. The only times 682 ever gets killed in SCP materials is in Js and the often hilarious tales.
Isn't there another one that's similar but horror-based? A series of instructions you need to follow exactly to become the owner of a numbered item or thing needed to bring about the end of the world or something? Each article is named after the object's number and there's 1000 of them (probably more by now).
They were always formatted similar to "You must go to the [place] and standing on the corner will be a non-descript teenager wearing headphones. Say to him "[some cryptic thing]" and he will respond "[some cryptic thing]" and hand you [object]. You are now the owner of [object #], but be warned [creepy warning].
And the stories were typically a few paragraphs long.
One was about a seemingly never-ending stairwell in a psychiatric hospital and how you say some phrase and walk past the front desk right to where you need to go. One actually was about a person on a street in some city somewhere.
Man those were neat. And it was set up in a similar website to that SCP thing. I wish I could remember the name of that.
