* There was an SCP on the original message board that was a small sphere which quite simply increased in temperature. Rising, and rising, and rising. They attempted to cool down the object by storing it with ice, in freezers, with liquid nitrogen, but that only temporarily slowed the process... The temperature just kept rising. If you have any knowledge of thermodynamics, you'll know why this is worrying.
* [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-899 SCP-899]. "A psychic and telekinetic phenomenon that most commonly manifests as groups of hostile phantom children." Then they went and exposed it to [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-573 SCP-573]. To give some hint of how "successful" that experiment was, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130526032431/http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/diary-573 this] is what happens when a perfectly ordinary person uses 573, and taking a picture of it with SCP-978 resulted in a [DATA EXPUNGED] and a note that "It appears SCP-573 is indeed sentient in any case."
* [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-604 SCP-604]. What makes it particularly bad is that it has no apparent effect on the users, meaning they chose to use it ''as they did of their own accord''. There are extensive records of what the thing can do, because its former owners charted their progress. And when they succeed...

Line 134:
* Dr. Clef. Even if we take everything he says about himself with a grain of salt there is a mountain of evidence in various entries, logs, and reports that suggests that he is something far, far worse than any of the actual SCPs. The fact that his head is always replaced with something else in photographs is actually one of his ''least'' disturbing quirks. ''And he is the guy in charge of SCP Training and Development.''
* [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-804 SCP-804]: A piece of "art" that, when activated, slowly but surely kills all humans and destroys all man-made works in an ever increasing radius around it. The only saving grace is that said artwork is not immune to its own effects. However, the most nightmarish element of this SCP isn't its potential to destroy the world. No, the scariest part is that, according to the former lead researcher, Dr. Sorts, [[Not Brainwashed|the SCP has no memetic influence on people]]. The people who created and activated a device that would wipe out humanity did it because, in Dr. Sorts' own words, ''they wanted to do it''. That the SCP Foundation transferred Dr. Sorts to another project and is continuing testing for a memetic component means either 1) the Foundation wants to be absolutely sure that no mind control is involved or 2) ''even the Foundation'' doesn't want to believe that there ''really'' are people in the world evil enough to murder humanity entirely of their own free will.
** The people "evil enough to murder humanity entirely" were [[Well -Intentioned Extremists|well-intentioned extremistsExtremist]]s, at least the original ones who sacrificed themselves. As in, they wanted to get rid of humanity because they thought it had a greater net negative than positive effect on other lifeforms. Meanwhile, the Foundation has terminated or is trying to terminate several lifeforms for the same reason (and real life humans do this all the time with diseases, though with other life the extinction we cause tends to be accidental). So when you think about it, the creators of the SCP-804 merely had the same views on their fellow humans as most humans do on lifeforms that threaten them. You could argue that the SCP-804 creators are more evil because they have betrayed their own species, if you like... or you can argue that their motivations are actually more objective, since their views on what lifeforms are more harmful aren't determined by what benefits their personal continued existence. Either way, thinking about this for long periods of time is a bit like reading SCP-079 (an increasingly rational and objective computer that nonetheless clearly hates humans, if not all life), in that it has a creepy "but what if the SCP is RIGHT?" air to it.
** To make thing worse, the whole incident inspired the creation of dadaist terrorist art collective "Are We Cool Yet?".
* [http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-354 SCP-354: The Blood Pond]. It's a pond in the Canadian wilderness that is full of a liquid similar to blood. Highly dangerous creatures emerge from it from time to time; most of whom have nothing in common. And according to one SCP agent, it's alive. And intelligent. And angry. '' {{spoiler|And growing}}''.
Line 315:
** [http://lafundacionscp.wikidot.com/scp-es-015 SCP-ES-015] are pills that are impossible to ingest. Literally. Trying to swallow one just chokes you. Powdering and dissolving it to drink it only accelerates the process. If you manage to introduce it on some living organism it will cause their death unless you extract the substance from their bodies. And every time, the substance will reform into their original pill form once they got out of the formerly living being. But the real disturbing thing is its backstory: apparently its creator developed what could be constructed as an improved version of SCP-500, so good it really gives you immortality; but a super-religious coworker decided that this was an heresy, so they tampered with the formula so no-one could ingest the substance ever.
