Can you blame them? SCP is like abnormal stuff affecting humanity So it is kinda obvious dragons stories would end sad Dragons wouldn’t exist in a reality like us had dragons in it
You must not know much about dragons then if you think they’re generally depicted as companions. They’re typically seen as intelligent killing machines that hoard gold and swipe a hoe. The scp stories about them are good but they just seem like big smart god like creatures. Which is a neat idea but that’s not what they are. Not to people who know a fraction about them at least
They have always been cruel. These are men who have not heeded the adage about monsters. They stared into the abyss of and were taken by it. Thus why I say part of the anomalies the Foundation "secures, contains, and protects" us from is themselves.
The foundation tries not to be cruel, but that doesnt mean that they cant be merciless when they deem it necessary and there are many examples of this fact
@@neroham93 do they have to be protected from all anomalies though? The first bunch of SCPs I've ever read were horror related ones, similar to Creepypasta, like the statue (173) or the old man (106). Those were obviously dangerous ones that might cost the lives of many people if let loose, but the end of this story explains itself why Tharnak deserved to roam free. If everything is explained, the world would just be plain and boring, and humans could even expand their own potential through positive anomalies. It's not like humans aren't already killing each other every day. I don't really believe in supernatural stuff, but I wouldn't be surprised if anything unusual would be kept hidden by real life secret agencies as well if that was the case.
@@vermillion6159 unfortunately they do need to be protected humanity thrives and grows, with and under, reason. It isn't enough to be protected from the dangerous ones. A world without reason is an existential threat to mankind.
I'd argue it wasn't suicide, since we don't have any indication that the foundation told Tharnok about the anti aircraft guns, or that they would kill him if he left the cave. They tricked him into giving them his trust, then when he couldn't hold out any longer they effectively slaughtered him rather than using their immense resources to allow him to go on a quick flight undetected. Do the foundation seriously not have a way to hide from radar?
@@monkeybandit222 Yet they can do it with entire military bases and sites, they also have unprecedented control over military assets worldwide and could just suppress any radar pulses people see with misinformation, or claim that the site is used for military aircraft testing. My point is that the SCP foundation chose not to allow the dragon to fly, not because it wasn't possible for them to allow him to, but because they didn't want to.
@@tiggerbiggo they wished to contain it, letting it fly, is not containment, it is the exact opposite, the point of containing spcs is to protect humanity, a dragon has the destructive power to destroy citys, a risk that would be foolish to take

9:05 "His description has changed as well, with his length dropping from 73 meters to 50 meters. His wingspan dropping from 67 meters to 42 meters, and his mass dropping from 2700 to 1800. His scales have changed from a purple hue to blue, with the ones on his stomach being much lighter." OH NO NO NO NO NO STAY WITH ME!!
@@Moncrom if it can breath temperatures lower than that then it's basically breathing fire but heat on that scale is basically considered plasma buddy hence why the color of the fire is a bit blue.
Aren't all flames plasma? At least, I don't think there is a meaningful way to distinguish between "fire" and "plasma" here - if there is, I'd love to learn! 🤓 Unlike other phase transitions, there is apparently no clear boundary at which degree of ionization (percentage of particles that is charged) you stop calling it a gas and start calling it plasma. A candle flame (1400°C in the blue core, 800°C in the red outer part) is mostly neutral gas with only few ions - which is still enough to make it conductive, though. Some people call that plasma, while I've found some ThoughtCo article that reserves the term for hotter fires like magnesium (3100°C) with higher ionization - but I couldn't find any numbers on how big the difference is, or why it matters. Apparently, some of the most common examples of plasma are also only partially ionized - lightning, fluorescent lightbulbs, welding ... Fully ionized atoms, where all bound electrons are stripped from the nucleus, not just the outer valence ones, only seem to occur around thermonuclear processes.
You have no idea how that might affect the populace. What if someone sees it? You have no idea how volatile the Foundation's position is sometimes.

@@anormalhuman266 Did he really pose a threat, though? He agreed to peaceful terms, which were broken at pretty much every possible point by the Foundation. Not him.
For real though, why is it that dragons are the only thing that is truly sad in the SCP world? I guess you could go all meta, since in modern literature, dragons are often used to represent wonder and amazement without knowing anything, and dragons are often killed to symbolically represent the "death" of all of that wonder and amazement once you become an adult. So maybe the writers are trying to symbolize that death of fantasy, being replaced with science and science fiction?
"You don't believe in magic..?" "Not at all." "... I find that very sad." "Why's that?" "Because if you don't believe in Magic, then you'll never have any in your Life."
Item #: SCP-3844 Object Class: Keter (pending review) Special Containment Procedures: O5-2 has been assigned to oversee the investigation of SCP-3844 and the development of appropriate long-term containment procedures. Until this time, O5-2 will act as necessary to ensure the Foundation's objectives are met in regards to the anomaly. Description: SCP-3844 is the collective designation for numerous, large, winged lizards located within the Himalayans, Rockies, Appalachians, Andes and Dolomites. Uploader's Note: Dragons. There are still dragons in the mountains.
When you live for as long as dragons do, you learn that being a raging thundercunt is incompatible with long life. So, they tend to be fairly reasonable creatures so as to die of old age and not murder. Usually.
This is painful and heartbreaking. "Has science found a way for me to spread my wings?" In search of a friend, he lost his freedom, his spirit, his fire, his life. I'm actually distraught.
The fact that you added a quote from R.A. Salvatore at the end to best describe the feeling one should get after watching this particular video...chef's kiss. 🍻
"When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily Oh joyfully, playfully watching me But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible Logical, oh responsible, practical And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical." - "The Logical Song" by Supertramp
When a dragon dies so does the magic in the world and so dragon stories written for adults by adults deal with the death of magic and child like wonder.
they are fantasy, ancient, mystical, and legendary, suspense of belief, and as the world moves toward "maturity", reality, science, practicality the things that dragons symbolized are left behind, obsolete and unwanted, and are shadows of their former selves.
@@midend Honestly, I think you're wrong. The dragons aren't dead. They just aren't on Earth anymore. As much as science has defeated older fantasies here on Earth, it's allowed us to come up with even wilder fantasies out amongst the stars and stellar remnants. Watch this video and then try to tell me that fantasy and whimsy aren't still very much alive: th-cam.com/video/ThDYazipjSI/w-d-xo.html Who knows if there's a Dragon's Egg out there right now, waiting to hatch.
Don't be sad, now dragons are just myth .. in the future they WILL be reality. Genetically engineered by some mad scientist who wants to add magic into the world.
This reminds me of a great quote from Babylon 5: "They are a mystery. And I am both terrified and reassured that there are still wonders out there. That we haven't yet explained everything."
@@greenhowie I appreciate your sympathy however..I too am no longer a simple being. In fact I've recently made the Abyss my new home, Staring at those who dare stare in. It's actually quite comft and spacious too.
@@OneLostTexan They are both. Care about containment, not comfort. That isn't a priority, and should only be considered such if it is absolutely necessary for containment... And I think a nuclear warhead can do just fine against it.
This article really is the opposite of what SCP is, but in the best way possible. It takes the mighty mythical dragon and with science and terms reduces it to a winged lizard that uses a bit of magic to breathe a methane gas. The more I think about it, the more I realise this us a very important article. May be reading too much into it but can't help but wonder.
This is truly a tale of magic, or rather, a loss of magic. In the beginning, when Lester first saw Thatnock, he was filled with magic and wonder, but over time, science and technology took over instead of that whimsey upon seeing a dragon.
SCP staff: Where did the dragons go? Dr. Bright: *holding bloody sword behind his back... Aslo Dr. Bright: I don't know, migration maybe? 05: *Sigh* Add it to the list.....
If it helps, a decommissioned scp, which means it was deleted due to poor writing, is a not sad dragon. Its someones OC and their skeleton dragon who are strong enough to kill scp 682... thats practically it.
@@zionthedragon8866 I looked at one of the “decommissioned” SCPs, and said SCP is a powerful dragon and person. This SCP is no longer listed on the main lists though.
@@theteethcollector865 No, I had no idea what you were talking about. Also did this supposed scp (past tense) have a number, or is it unfortunate quncidence that you don't know/can't remember?
It is SCP entries like this that makes me wish that the dragons would have wiped out the SCP foundation and coexisted with humanity preserving wonder, peace, and mystic spiritualism.
Me: Alright, I'm a grown ass man, I've gotten over SCP-1762, I can do this The Exploring Series: * _narrates SCP-3844_ * Me: * _Lie down, try not to cry, cry a lot_ *
I'd like to think the ending of the article had a slightly different explanation: Even if Lester couldn't bring himself to believe, perhaps he could bring the dragons back if he got these foundation to collectively believe they were out there. Especially if given a Keter classification, often lending an air of incomprehension to anomalies that the new dragons would need to survive.
The dragon memetic is nearly culturally universal. It's a snake/lion/shark that flies. It's all the horrors that haunted prehistoric man with red tooth and claw. But we have slain the dragons and made boots and carpets and soup. And now, there is no beast to stalk the nights, only the night itself. And what is humanity against that? Clever monkeys staring into the yawning maw of existence. The dragons died, and we found real fear.
Yeah, judging from those two "Maybe the real dragon slayer is losing your imagination" is the go-to theme for sapient European fantasy dragon skips. TBF, I only know three, and *SCP-1154* (Conceptual Dragon) doesn't go for the heartstrings like that. If you widen the net a bit, there's *SCP-2454* (How To Train Your Axolotl), which is just adorable, and *SCP-1779* (Dime Consumers), which is kinda cool. So if you like dragons and reading the Wiki yourself, I'd say maybe give those a shot? There also seem to be quite a few mythological reptiles and dragon-adjacent ones, but I have only skimmed a few.
Dragons are the epitome of our natural and childlike wonder. The amazing explanation as to why mountains shook, volcanoes burst and storms abate with no warning. Salvatore said it best. There has to be a little magic. Some wonder and awe that makes us aspire towards more in all things. Apathy has bled us of our fantasies.
If I had a nickel for every SCP that involved a sad story about dragons that died out because of human advancements, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Science doesn't remove mystery, for every new discovery there are always more and more and in reality we know very little of what there is to know. Hell if the multiverse theory is true then there is an infinite amount of worlds out there that have dragons on them. I try to remember that every ending is a new beginning and every beginning is the end for the previous story.
There’s something even MORE evil about simply suffocating the personification of Awe, as if it were nothing more than a sack of unwanted kittens thrown in the river. Damn the SCP for pretending diplomacy, when what they really wanted was victory without the clash.
So dragons in the scp universe are creatures of that feed fantasy and belief in stories, miracles, and the unexplained. If there isn't any fantasy in the hearts of people they become normal.
A world without wonder hope's and dreams sounds like a cold and empty place like the void of space or a heart without a warm embrace from time to time. Never stop loving the fantastic the mysterious the mythical the unexplained.

I'm also keeping them elsewhere, maybe I'll e-mail the channel in case they want to put them in as proper chapter markers. (Though I'd totally respect if they prefer having none, or wanting them done differently.)
@@gribberoni yes
Yooo... can we all agree to sign a petition to have the Foundation leave any and all dragons alone, please??
Er... no.
Anomalies must be contained or destroyed, and this particular one poses a threat to humans.
Least it didn't find the GOC first
@@anormalhuman266 Did he really pose a threat, though? He agreed to peaceful terms, which were broken at pretty much every possible point by the Foundation. Not him.

Sign me the fuck up.
SCP: where dragons will make you cry! Why must you hurt us this way? * cries in a corner *
For real though, why is it that dragons are the only thing that is truly sad in the SCP world?
I guess you could go all meta, since in modern literature, dragons are often used to represent wonder and amazement without knowing anything, and dragons are often killed to symbolically represent the "death" of all of that wonder and amazement once you become an adult. So maybe the writers are trying to symbolize that death of fantasy, being replaced with science and science fiction?

Item #: SCP-3844
Object Class: Keter (pending review)
Special Containment Procedures: O5-2 has been assigned to oversee the investigation of SCP-3844 and the development of appropriate long-term containment procedures. Until this time, O5-2 will act as necessary to ensure the Foundation's objectives are met in regards to the anomaly.
Description: SCP-3844 is the collective designation for numerous, large, winged lizards located within the Himalayans, Rockies, Appalachians, Andes and Dolomites.
Uploader's Note: Dragons. There are still dragons in the mountains.
When imagination dies so does the part of of soul that makes us human. Sad but true
Interesting when you take this in context with the reports from SCP-5000
Two questions:
1. Why are all the dragons so nice?
2. Why do all the nice dragons get the short end of the stick?
I couldn't bear to finish it.
When you live for as long as dragons do, you learn that being a raging thundercunt is incompatible with long life. So, they tend to be fairly reasonable creatures so as to die of old age and not murder. Usually.
me: sees slaying a dragon in title
also me: starts tearing up all of a sudden
This is painful....not the work put in a great exploring video...but just the story
Yeah it's very depressing but slightly hopeful too
@@clowntown3 Accurate description of adulthood ☠️
It does sounds pretty deep and somewhat tragic
My heart hurts. He was a chill dragon. Let him fly
3844- the death of wonder
1762- the death of imagination
We grow up and lose what made our childhood special. The Foundation universe is sad, indeed
This is painful and heartbreaking. "Has science found a way for me to spread my wings?" In search of a friend, he lost his freedom, his spirit, his fire, his life.
I'm actually distraught.
The fact that you added a quote from R.A. Salvatore at the end to best describe the feeling one should get after watching this particular video...chef's kiss. 🍻
"When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical."
- "The Logical Song" by Supertramp
Hmm, interesting.
That song hurts my childhood....oooff
@@randallb84 It fits well in the Foundation universe
"It welcomed us as guests"

Why are most dragons stories sad 😭
When a dragon dies so does the magic in the world and so dragon stories written for adults by adults deal with the death of magic and child like wonder.
@@Jack-kn1mr damn, that hits home hard
they are fantasy, ancient, mystical, and legendary, suspense of belief, and as the world moves toward "maturity", reality, science, practicality the things that dragons symbolized are left behind, obsolete and unwanted, and are shadows of their former selves.
@@midend Honestly, I think you're wrong. The dragons aren't dead. They just aren't on Earth anymore. As much as science has defeated older fantasies here on Earth, it's allowed us to come up with even wilder fantasies out amongst the stars and stellar remnants.
Watch this video and then try to tell me that fantasy and whimsy aren't still very much alive:
th-cam.com/video/ThDYazipjSI/w-d-xo.html
Who knows if there's a Dragon's Egg out there right now, waiting to hatch.
Don't be sad, now dragons are just myth .. in the future they WILL be reality. Genetically engineered by some mad scientist who wants to add magic into the world.
When talking about Dragons in SCP: sadness and tears intensify
This reminds me of a great quote from Babylon 5: "They are a mystery. And I am both terrified and reassured that there are still wonders out there. That we haven't yet explained everything."

Don't mention 1762, that story always makes me cry! *sobs*
Why are there so many tragic SCP dragon stories?! SCP-community, you are so cruel!
Dragons may be majestic and wondrous but in a literary universe where everything is measured and de-mystified they just cant exist anymore.
SCP Foundation: We are Cold not Cruel
When they are involved in Dragons: So cold they're Cruel
@@OneLostTexan They are both. Care about containment, not comfort. That isn't a priority, and should only be considered such if it is absolutely necessary for containment...
And I think a nuclear warhead can do just fine against it.
What is SCP?
This article really is the opposite of what SCP is, but in the best way possible.
It takes the mighty mythical dragon and with science and terms reduces it to a winged lizard that uses a bit of magic to breathe a methane gas.
The more I think about it, the more I realise this us a very important article. May be reading too much into it but can't help but wonder.
I had a similar experience while becoming an electrician. I learned how shit works and alot of the magic in the world just... died...
Ignorance is bliss
I feel like this de-anomaly-fying trait the foundation seems to have on some things needs to be it's own SCP.
Huh, you might be right. I'll get clef on that later. He's at Target having a shootout with Bright over a Nintendo Wii
At this point the foundation is the anomaly.
It is,one of the articles in series VII is about that
@@guairefernandezamil4084 do you know which one, some of these skips can be hard to find.
@@scads2155 6500, is basically that, thought, be aware, ita very fucking long
This is truly a tale of magic, or rather, a loss of magic. In the beginning, when Lester first saw Thatnock, he was filled with magic and wonder, but over time, science and technology took over instead of that whimsey upon seeing a dragon.
The Dragons came,
The Dragons went,
The Dragon left,
His lifeblood spent.
The Dragon went,
The Dragons came.
And whimsy filled
The world again.

Happy Monday... :[
Love you buddy, thanks for putting all this stuff on TH-cam. Also thanks for posting my SCP a few weeks ago! :)
Another SCP to hit you right where you feel. Damn it’s so sad, we sure don’t deserve the dragons.
Will there every be a Dragon-Based SCP tale that doesn't end in tragedy and betrayal?!
If it helps, a decommissioned scp, which means it was deleted due to poor writing, is a not sad dragon. Its someones OC and their skeleton dragon who are strong enough to kill scp 682... thats practically it.
Scp 111 is cute but it’s not really a tale
@@theteethcollector865 wdym? what are you talking about? Because I have no clue what you mean.
@@zionthedragon8866 I looked at one of the “decommissioned” SCPs, and said SCP is a powerful dragon and person. This SCP is no longer listed on the main lists though.
@@theteethcollector865 No, I had no idea what you were talking about. Also did this supposed scp (past tense) have a number, or is it unfortunate quncidence that you don't know/can't remember?
Rest in peace Tharnock, we will never forget you 🥺😭
We are blessed with this content
I found this article on the wiki a few days ago, but i didn't have the patience to read it fully. What a small world.
Another tragic SCP entry. I've had that quote by R. A. Salvatore's plastered in my room for more than 2 decades.
me: i wonder what this vids about
the comments: *collective sobbing and weeping*
you dont want to know
I am kinda annoyed/confused on how the termination/neutralization of skips is such a sob story
I’m gonna be crying aren’t I?
The best way to put the whimsy back in humanity is through our children, for it is through their eyes that we will remember it... Poor Arnock 🥺😫
Rest In Peace, Tharnok. May you fly with your brethren forever in our imaginations and hearts. 😢 🐉
No god why. He just wanna fly out there. Can't imagine how much depressed he was all those centuries.
Really like watching these while I revise
hello
It is SCP entries like this that makes me wish that the dragons would have wiped out the SCP foundation and coexisted with humanity preserving wonder, peace, and mystic spiritualism.
watcha gunna do about 096 though?
Or the thousands of Keter SCPs?
I have a hunch that the dragons can take them all on.
But that's just a shojo anime with extra steps
Have you considered making a video on the little misters? I would be very interested in that video
I would love to see a video talking about all the ways they've tried to kill SCP 682. Also, Nobody
I’m glad more people learn about this since I’ve enjoyed this forever
I actually went to the Dolomite mountains. Fantastic landscapes
I love the metallic dragons from D&D
Me: Alright, I'm a grown ass man, I've gotten over SCP-1762, I can do this
The Exploring Series: * _narrates SCP-3844_ *
Me: * _Lie down, try not to cry, cry a lot_ *
I'd like to think the ending of the article had a slightly different explanation: Even if Lester couldn't bring himself to believe, perhaps he could bring the dragons back if he got these foundation to collectively believe they were out there. Especially if given a Keter classification, often lending an air of incomprehension to anomalies that the new dragons would need to survive.
Your videos keep me going on long night shifts.
Edit: why are all the dragon SCPs sad?
The dragon memetic is nearly culturally universal. It's a snake/lion/shark that flies. It's all the horrors that haunted prehistoric man with red tooth and claw. But we have slain the dragons and made boots and carpets and soup. And now, there is no beast to stalk the nights, only the night itself. And what is humanity against that? Clever monkeys staring into the yawning maw of existence. The dragons died, and we found real fear.
Yeah, judging from those two "Maybe the real dragon slayer is losing your imagination" is the go-to theme for sapient European fantasy dragon skips. TBF, I only know three, and *SCP-1154* (Conceptual Dragon) doesn't go for the heartstrings like that. If you widen the net a bit, there's *SCP-2454* (How To Train Your Axolotl), which is just adorable, and *SCP-1779* (Dime Consumers), which is kinda cool. So if you like dragons and reading the Wiki yourself, I'd say maybe give those a shot?
There also seem to be quite a few mythological reptiles and dragon-adjacent ones, but I have only skimmed a few.
Dragons are the epitome of our natural and childlike wonder. The amazing explanation as to why mountains shook, volcanoes burst and storms abate with no warning.
Salvatore said it best. There has to be a little magic. Some wonder and awe that makes us aspire towards more in all things.
Apathy has bled us of our fantasies.
I weep for Tharnok and our whimsy.
i love how 99 percent of the art here being shown i've already seen in D&D lore videos talking about dragons
I needed my heart today, and whimsy alive tomorrow.
When I tell you my heart dropped when I heard him say neutralized… man why you gotta make me cry at 3 am
If I had a nickel for every SCP that involved a sad story about dragons that died out because of human advancements, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
Why did you just copy top commentm
Man the way you tell the stories of these scp's is top tier material. Keep up the great work man.
Science doesn't remove mystery, for every new discovery there are always more and more and in reality we know very little of what there is to know. Hell if the multiverse theory is true then there is an infinite amount of worlds out there that have dragons on them. I try to remember that every ending is a new beginning and every beginning is the end for the previous story.
"but really, we didn't deserve Tharnock."
And I'm crying over a dragon SCP again
Keep this up and we'll have ALL those dragons slain! Keep up the good work, Foundation! *Salute*
Found the Dragonborn
There’s something even MORE evil about simply suffocating the personification of Awe, as if it were nothing more than a sack of unwanted kittens thrown in the river. Damn the SCP for pretending diplomacy, when what they really wanted was victory without the clash.
This made me sad. He just wanted to be a dragon not a cooped up pet.
mystery becomes mundane as you learn, not because you discover that it was always mundane, but because you have made it to be so.
3 am, new vid, now I can finally sleep.
Props for the R.A Salvatore quote.
Love that guy. I've got like 6 books signed by him. Including all three books in the Crimson Shadow Trilogy.
The only reason I stay up on Sunday.
18:08 man that line was a gut punch
Far too many sad dragon SCPs, Someone needs to make one where they get the happy ending they deserve.
I feel like I’ve gone on so many great and horrifying adventures with this man’s amazing voice
So dragons in the scp universe are creatures of that feed fantasy and belief in stories, miracles, and the unexplained. If there isn't any fantasy in the hearts of people they become normal.
That last image you used perfectly encapsulates the awe and wonder a dragon could inspire.
It's a beautiful picture.
Love that ending. (Everyone who thinks this was sad - did you not see what happened there?)
?
A world without wonder hope's and dreams sounds like a cold and empty place like the void of space or a heart without a warm embrace from time to time. Never stop loving the fantastic the mysterious the mythical the unexplained.
