  • After Action Report
  • More Dakka: "...that's when you pull out your gun and you shoot the fucker. If that don't work, you shoot it again, because ninety-nine times outta a hundred, shootin' will work if you do enough of it."


Select SCPs

Plenty of SCPs are embodiments of tropes:

SCP-173

SCP-682

  • Absolute Xenophobe: toward nearly all Earth life.
  • Adaptive Ability: Fortunately, the adaptations wear off eventually and it can always be at least incapacitated by heavy physical damage.
  • Berserk Button: Earth life, with rare exceptions.
  • Call a Smeerp A Rabbit: It only looks like a reptile.
  • Eldritch Abomination: When brought in to terminate 682, SCP-343, who is thought to be God, refuses and remarks "He's not one of mine. Deal with him yourself." Hoo boy.
  • Exactly What It Says On the Tin: SCP-682 really is a Hard-To-Destroy-Reptile. Although the picture used in the article is of "The Moscow Monster", which was really just the corpse of a beluga whale.
  • Everything Alive Through Alien Eyes: One possible explanation for why it always tries to kill everything except SCP-053. It's not evil, it's just that everything alive in our world except SCP-053 is so horribly, gut-wrenchingly disgusting and wrong that SCP-682 can't help reacting by trying to make us all stop existing ASAP. It also didn't try to kill Dr. Clef for some reason. It just stared at him. It's anyone's guess what this means.
  • Extreme Omnivore: It gains energy from anything it ingests, even the acid used to contain it.
  • Flowery Insults / Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: It calls SCP-999 a "feculent little snot wad" and invites it to "[DATA EXPUNGED] and die", and generally gets pretty vicious verbally if it's restrained physically.
  • Godzilla Threshold: "Special Containment Procedures: SCP-682 must be destroyed as soon as possible."
  • Good Thing You Can Heal: Actually, no, it really isn't in this case.
  • Half The Lizard He Used To Be: They cut him in half with a high-powered laser. Each half grew back into a full-size 682. Thankfully, once 682-B was incapacitated and 682-A was cornered, 682-A ate 682-B in an attempt to invoke Heal Thyself.
  • Infernal Retaliation: The Foundation once attempted to launch SCP-682 into the sun with a very large cannon. It came back ON FIRE. Of course, this was only mentioned in the joke SCP entry for said very large cannon, so it is not canon by virtue of the 1543-j not existing within SCP canon (nebulous and ill-defined as it is). Just cannon. It also had wings that launched razors-sharp feathers.
  • Inversion: SCP-1364: 682 is an unidentifiable "reptile" that adapts to survive and hates everything while 1364 is an anteater that, despite being harmed by bright lights, still wants a hug.
  • Nigh Invulnerable: This is its main trait. This and...
  • No Sell: Even to the most consistently fatal SCPs. Not to mention...
  • Nuke'Em: One of the proposed ways to end it, was by using a 60 MT thermonuclear bomb. Ultimately decided against.

 Researcher: Yes, it's a goddamn nuke, but if 682 survives and adapts we'd be boned beyond belief.

  • Omnicidal Maniac: SCP-682 doesn't want to set the world on fire, but just wants to destroy every living thing in it except for SCP-053, which is close enough.
    • Dr. Clef also doesn't seem to trigger its murder-death-kill reflex, whatever that means...
  • Pet the Dog: SCP-053 is possibly the only living thing that 682 didn't immediately try to kill - in fact, 053 played with it. Did we mention that this is the opposite of what usually happens, given that 053's main power seems to be to make people inexplicably and violently hate her after some time?
    • Went into Papa Wolf and Even Evil Has Loved Ones territory when 682 attacked the personnel sent to retrieve 053, presumably believing they'd harm 053.
      • That or it was just doing whatever it usually does, mauling anything in sight.
    • 053's other power is that anyone or anything that causes her harm dies. It's possible that 682 could sense this power and was merely adapting as it always does.
  • Running Gag: Not a gag, per se, but any time a particularly destructive or mind-altering SCP is contained, they expose it to SCP-682 to see if 682 is destroyed by it. This Very Wiki has an entire "Attempts To Kill SCP-682" section on the SCP's Crowning Moment of Funny sub-page.
  • Unstoppable Rage: It's not as popular as its other traits, but SCP-682 has episodes that are hard to describe as anything else, where it seems to lose control and become even more aggressive and even harder to incapacitate than usual. The abovementioned incident with the personnel trying to remove SCP-053 is a good example.
  • Why Did It Have To Be SCP-173?: Perhaps the only thing that SCP-682 is completely terrified of.

SCP-058

SCP-106

SCP-076-2 AKA Able

  • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: "SCP-076-2 has however, shown that it has great knowledge of human anatomy (although in a highly violent context), military tactics of open warfare, metallurgy, and, strangely enough, the care of livestock."
  • Ax Crazy: If Able is bored (which is often), he'll entertain himself by going on homicidal rampages.
  • Berserk Button: Presumably, exposure to a picture of the symbol on SCP-073's forehead. (SCP-073 is Cain.)
  • Beyond the Impossible: Able was once tasked (though as a separate incident/story, its canonical status is iffy) with trying to kill 682 listed above. They tore each other to ribbons but neither quite get the job done, took a break, went back into it, and fought so hard that they caused a [DATA EXPUNGED] event, implied to have been a hole they broke in the universe. Which means that one or the other's powers went off the scale, or that they're both such insane Human/Eldritch abominations that their co-presence messed up the laws of physics.
  • Blood Knight
  • Blue and Orange Morality: This is the result of the psychological testing done on him.
  • Cain and Abel: He's the Abel. Notably, 6,000 years of undeath has reversed his role; he's now more of a Cain than Cain himself (who is also an SCP; see below).
  • Canon Sue: Invoked. Able is explicitly the most sue-ish you can go, and you are not allowed to add an SCP more sue-ish than him. It's called the "Able line".
  • Hyperspace Arsenal
  • Implacable Man: It takes a lot to even stagger Able, let alone incapacitate him.
  • Lightning Bruiser
  • Retcon: The main 076 article was rewritten to remove the Mobile Task Force Omega-7 stuff, and make Able less "lolawesome". He's less of a Wolverine expy now and more of a humanoid bundle of murder. He is also now completely hostile towards the Foundation; no longer is he working for any side.
  • Spell My Name With an "S": Proper spelling, as listed on the main article and by Word of God, is Able. Too many people misspell it using the Biblical spelling, though.
  • Worthy Opponent: SCP-076-2 lamented the loss of an SCP agent who was able to match him in combat. Partly because said agent killed as collateral damage in an airstrike (to stop another SCP) instead of in combat (as 076-2 thought a Worthy Opponent deserved) and partly because fighting the Foundation was really boring without said agent there to make it challenging.
  • Deconstruction / Fridge Brilliance: Able has no interests beyond killing people, is perpetually bored, can summon weapons out of an apparently unlimited space and respawns upon death. He is a videogame player character.

SCP-231-7

SCP-085 ("Cassy")

SCP-239 ("Sigurrós")

SCP-953

  • Ax Crazy
  • Berserk Button: Being called a kitsune. "Personnel asking what the difference is are to be reminded of the difference between a Cherokee Indian and a New Delhi Indian". Furries also seem to really piss her off.
  • The Fair Folk: This is technically what a kumiho is, but her sheer malevolence makes the Court Unseelie look perfectly benign by comparison, and that's saying a LOT.
  • Hair-Trigger Temper
  • I'm a Humanitarian
  • Kitsune: NOT NOT NOT NOT.
  • Humanoid Abomination: When she's taking a human form.
  • Shape Shifter
  • The Trickster: in-between eating humans, she loves to play sick tricks on them, seemingly purely For the Evulz. She tricks a mother into eating her own child. Also, when a team of agents arrives to apprehend her, she mentally dominates them and feeds them meat with rice... only the meat turns out to be rotting human flesh, and the rice is live maggots.
  • The Vamp: She seemingly exploited this to bite off an agent's genitals, before showing it to him and proceeding to tear out his liver.
  • Yamato Nadeshiko: can pretend to be one in order to increase her mental hold over her victims.

SCP-914

 Professor "Q": Yes, I've been playing chess with 914. …Yes, I'm aware it's supposed to be non-sentient, but that hardly explains why it's winning.

  • Troll: Definitely shows more than a few shades of this. Apparently one of those shades is pink.

 I hate [EXPLETIVES REDACTED] pink! -Dr. Hale

SCP-661

SCP-811 ("Aé")

SCP-959 ("The Bogeyman")

SCP-966 ("Sleep Killer")

SCP-662 ("Mr. Deeds")

  • A Wizard Did It: Not even Deeds himself is quite sure how he's able to do what he does. Thinking about it too much seems to distress him.
  • Battle Butler: Well, Deeds is a butler... and you can send him to kill people.
  • Death Is a Slap On The Wrist: Whenever Deeds is killed, no matter how severe his injuries, he comes right back once his corpse is out of sight and the bell is rung.
  • Genie in A Bottle: Deeds, with the bell serving as his bottle.
  • Offscreen Teleportation: He needs to be unobserved to bring back items, and knows if he is being observed. If there are cameras, they simply malfunction for a minute or two, with Deeds not knowing or caring how he got the item.

SCP-582 ("Bundle")

SCP-1000 ("Bigfoot")

  • Ancient Conspiracy: "You think Bigfoot is funny because we want you to think Bigfoot is funny." - Director Jones
  • Bigfoot Sasquatch and Yeti
  • Blatant Lies: An earlier description was an over-the-top cover story that Yetis are hugely dangerous beings with "death auras"; the current one is a "regular" cryptozoology description.
  • Humans Are Bastards: "Then their civilization fell. And we did it. By 'we' I don't mean the Foundation. By 'we', I mean humanity."
  • Laser-Guided Amnesia: "We left no traces. Not even our own memory. We turned one of the yetis' weapons on ourselves, wiped out any knowledge of SCP-1000 and the greatest civilization the planet had ever seen."
  • Not So Different: "SCP-1000 are just like us. That's what makes them so dangerous. We wiped them from history and memory. We dissolved their civilization and we slaughtered most of their species. Just ask yourselves: If they got the chance, what more would they do to us?"
    • Fortunately they forgive us, as long as we let them "back in". Unfortunately their forgiveness depends on how soon we allow them "back".

SCP-1867 ("Lord Blackwood")

Groups of Interest

The Chaos Insurgency

The Church of the Broken God

Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution

The Serpent's Hand

Marshall, Carter and Dark Ltd.

The Unusual Incidents Unit (FBI)

The Factory

Dr. Wondertainment

Alexylva University

  • Academy of Evil: And of strange artifacts, apparently.
  • ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS: Just like ancient Rome, that universe apparently has no lowercase letters.
  • Alternate History: It exists in a world where the Roman Empire has endured to the present day.
  • For Want of a Nail: SCP-961 implies that the only reason our world hasn't ended up the same way as theirs is because of a mysterious... someone influencing historical events.
