Never thought I'd agree with the reptile. But he's right, why waste so much resources in an useless attempt to destroy what cannot be destroyed if there's monsters out there that are far more evil like the old man? If these foundation researchers would try to eliminate something far more cruel as 682 with the same attempts made with 682, maybe it would show success
It's more about the level of destruction and malevolence that 682 poses. The old man can be easily baited into it's prison, and doesn't pose that big of a threat. He's a stalking predator after all. 682 however, is unkillable and has the destructive force of a nuke.
If confronted with a powerful force, 682 can cause an XK-class end of the world scenario. His main ability is his adaptability, which is why he's the most dangerous contained being. The risk he represents is either equal to or higher than the most powerful being the foundation knows about (equal if said being is the most powerful of this reality, higher if the most powerful is yet to be discovered by the foundation). It's simply why destroying it is of the highest importance.
@@TheReverseFlashThawn I feel like he proposed that idea to the scientist who then tried to sell it as their idea and 05 smelled the Dr. Bright involvement in this and thats why they rejected the idea
For those wondering about the redesign of 173:The SCP universe does have many anomalies, and their interpretations are under free use. There is but one exception to this rule. 173. Designed by Japanese artist Izumi Kato, he wasn't aware until a little while back that his work was being used for 173. He graciously allowed the SCP wiki to keep it if it wasn't being used for commercial purposes. However, the SCP Foundation still took it down out of respect for Kato's intentions when making the piece, and the number of people trying to profit off of SCP merch, which would surely include 173 at some point. In short, 173 has undergone a redesign, and this new model in the video is akin to the one in the Unity game. However, due to how poorly the model looks, with the OG head being used and it just overall not looking very appealing, its very likely they had these videos in the works already when the redesign happened, so they just took the head off of the OG model and slapped it onto some wire metal monster, maybe a model for a SCP like the Clockworks. If this is true, then its likely we'll get a more polished version. TL:DR;SCP changed the design of 173 because out of respect for the OG artist, so they had to put something together quick to release these videos.
There isn't much we can do,as this was a decision made by the admins of the wiki and the creator of 173. If even one person, who lets say made an SCP game, and they coded in 173. If that game isn't f2p, that could cause a troubling legal battle between Izumi and the SCP fandom. And due to the additional fact that "Untitled" (the art piece used for 173), had its own intentions and meaning, the wiki decided it best to react the image. 173 has received an redesign in the form of the Unity game, and that's likely what this 173 Clockworks abomination was mimicking. All we can do is hope it'll be better in the future.
The deadliest combo of SCPs: the statue and shy guy, if you look you die, and if you don’t you die. Somehow made more dangerous by adding 682. Great idea.
In all honesty, I feel you should never really kill an evil like SCP 682, the entity that may potentially contest the thing that can and would destroy the lesser evil. Just like microbes in a microbiome, diseases are bad regardless, but having many and diverse types will keep any other disease from becoming a superbug, and having many different types may give a superbug more competition to deal with, less resources to use, less space to grow, and more energy to burn against others. But after you remove those, you make them disappear from such microbiome, then the only ones left will thrive with no disturbances and all the resources and spaces laid upon its aggressive soft flagellum.
Amen. I was spike wait hold up 682 has a good point. Most of the time there is no good guys or bad guys there are only entities doing what they think is right and what they think is wrong
682 was telling the truth (about 173 and it's capabilities), even warn them the potential danger that 173 imposes, but I didn't know 173 can multiply itself to the point 682 accepted his fate... poor 682
I like this take on SCP-682, because it feels more realistic (in the SCP world). After all, one of the big possibilities for killing SCP-682 was a nuke, but that was denied because of the chance that it survived and adapted to it, but now you have stories about SCP-682 growing to the size of planets and eating Earth because it got sent on a rocket to space. What I'm saying is that I like SCP-682 when it's extremely difficult to destroy, and the methods to do so could be disastrous, but not impossible.
When 682 mutates and adapts it will adapt to survive and sometimes gain the abilities or properties of the threat but growiing to the size of a planet is just ridiculous
@@coolstuff1959 Agreed especially when you read the tale of when 682 came back from being erased from the timeliness itself. And then erased the knife that did it
SCP 682: I am the Hard-To-Destroy Reptile! SCP 173: So, I can’t easily snap your neck, right? SCP 682: *Sweats nervously* SCP 173: I can’t easily snap your neck, right?
“It will slaughter every single one of you!” Well he’s not wrong. 682’s claim did in fact come true in a story involving 173 where it multiplied and spread across the globe. These clones seemingly murdering everyone on the planet, foundation included. The story ended with Dr. Bright giving one final video recording of his status before presumably getting attacked by an SCP 173 copy.
the problem thoug his that........ literally far too mayn creatuers could easily dipose of an entire army of 173s. for example msiter spindly superhuman is literally immortal with an indestructable skeleton and being seen by 173 would motivate it to massacre them all in superhuman fashion.
@@taddad2641 the old man once terminated scp 173, and even then it traumatised the old man. It was the first time he felt fear. Thats why i love scp 173, because a lot of super strong scps fear it
still surprising if you ask me, I mean that sculpture almost made its species go extinct, he was the only one so it would be obvious but I didn't know anything about its backstory and now I even feel bad
He can't. This is just bad fanfic level writing. He survived a giant flame sword from an angle. Survived in absolute nothingness. Yet a rock that breaks necks can kill it. Yeah ok. PS: I'm not saying 682 itself isn't a product of bad writing, but precedent dictates something like 173 shouldn't be feared by 682. Let alone killed by it.
@@OneCut1Slash If we consider the idea that 173, not just being the original SCP, but has one origin that is connected to the Black Moon, then a grand increase to his power and numbers might have 'annihilation' skills that even 682 can't contend with. 682 has always thought of 173 as more dangerous then just a snappy bone peanut. That is canon with 682, not just from this story.
"We want to terminate 682" "Alright cool, cut it up and throw it to 173" "It developed eyes to stop 173" "How do you contain 682?" "Sedation, sir" "Then sedate 682 and leave the room" "But sir, 682 would be boring if he died" Basically every termination attempt on 682
One thing I have never understood when it comes to scp-173 is the procedures for moving it. Their are all of these extensive precautions for dangerous scps, yet nobody thought about attaching lights to scps 173 or putting it on a pad surrounded by lights so in case of a power outage, eye contact can still be maintained
173 was WAY more dangerous than 682. Why did the foundation even intervene when the reptile was killing the sculpture and winning?? Either of their defeats should have been considered a success, and that trial might have saved them!
Well not really 173 is just a shattered part of the koitern so he wasn't as powerfull 682 is just traumatized by him Also the thing about the koitern is you cannot kill him if you look at him and if you don't look at him, well you are dead
So is 682 no longer considered a child of the Scarlet King? I do not like how this story took away 682’s whole purpose in life. In one story, at the end of the universe, 682, when left all alone on an empty, lifeless Earth, 682 still felt rage towards anything he perceived to potentially have life, and always felt glee at its potential death. Even when bored with nothing to do for all eternity, he still kept his undying hate. When stars died, he felt good. That was how much he hated life. I think that story was called 682 the Star Charter or something like that, due to him in his boredom charting the stars of the universe. It was a very good story. Edit; I found out the name. It’s called 682 the Starkeeper
Yup starcharter to me is a way better interpretation, I mean at the end of this one here it says he’d been waiting for days… plenty of time to develop hundreds on night vision eyes all over his body…
I'd always wished that there was someone who'd just talk to 682, it's plenty smart enough to reason with, and I know it doesn't want to be torturered. Sure it's evil, but that doesn't mean it's always going to be, especially given a better life
@@billy91011 Well yeah, most definitely, it's not going to be an overnight thing, it will take an incredibly long time, possibly more than the lifespan of a single human, but I guarantee you it's doable. I mean, if a lead researcher were to start with a simple interview, even if 682 refused to talk, and start SOMEWHERE. Perhaps as a start, allow 682, visitation, to 053 and 999, as well as removal from it's acid tank and a promise to cease all future testing and termination attempts, assuming said head researcher remains in charge of 682s containment (This being as long as the researcher stays alive and there aren't many containment issues). All around a win-win, even if 682 has issues trusting another member of the Foundation
@@leviwatson1891 going off on your idea, I think Dr. Bright would be the best (only because he is immortal) to negotiate with 682 because then the deal would be hard to break unless Dr. Bright somehow dies. This being said there is probably another immortal candidate instead of Dr. Bright but from what I know he would be the best person to try to reason with 682.
He is meant to be a villain and scp is meant to be a prison. I guess, if you look from a prisoners perspective, wardens are unsavory people. Also at what point did the scp foundation was pure evil? Pretty much everything they do is meant to protect humanity from perishing. Some d class personel dying is justified when hundreds or more people are spared from an untimely death. But what does 682 do? He just kills people because he finds life disgusting? I dont kill people just because i dont like them. There is pretty much no justification for his actions. Though there is the story about an entity that lives in human subconsciousness or something. But thats probably not canon in the head of the original author who wrote 682. That story also doesnt make much sense. It leaves a lot of details blank.
I swear 682's true anomalous power is actually instilling a great desire in the humans around it to try and kill it, as well as being able to adapt to anything
It’s not a power. Human beings just view an unkillable creature as a challenge. It becomes an obsession because 682 represents a middle finger to humanity’s claim of ultimate power over its environment
If you just completely ignore this story and look at the many other (better) stories about 682, it's actually the physical embodiment of the thought of death - or the desire for things to die. It literally embodies that thought and its true form lives on another plane of existence where thoughts and consciousness originate (as one of the biggest and most powerful things there). In other words, it's literally a living, breathing, thinking embodiment of the desire for things to die. So your explanation would actually make a lot more sense than this story's explanation for why they're trying so hard to kill it (this story sucks in regards to accuracy, take it with a grain of salt).
Hello SCP Explained! I'm the writer of the SCP 173 with high precision blades. I just want to say I'm super grateful to you for inserting my story in a bigger, more cohesive history between 173 and 682. I love how smoothly it was animated and it very well captured my imagination while I was writing it, and that says a lot since I wrote it during my early years in writing for SCP wiki. It was my first try in writing something fiction for a community. Thank you so much! I pray your channel gets more subs and blessings from 343.
"Oh yeah, we killed the unkillable lizard" "What did it cost? It had to cost something." "Well, now there's an infinite amount of killer sculptures snapping necks throughout the human race." "Worth it" *this is probably what they were saying*
Why not just leave the two together? 173 couldn't move under 682's gaze, and 682 was focused on keeping 173 at bay. They were effectively containing each other. Does 173 produce its fecal blood stew while under observation?
Also I agree with the counter thing, the two both have hatred but one is scared… 173’s true fear would have been to be put in a room with 096 and forced to look at its face, facing the cruel torture he put 682’s species through long long ago
I feel so bad for 682. He was walking in the woods one day most likely, then the foundation found him, tried to kill him over and over again, until 682 adapted and became used to its dark life. Forever in pain and agony.
@@ultimapower6950 pretty sure it has something to do with her anomalous effect, it makes people want to attack her, but I suppose it make 682 docile towards her
@@ultimapower6950 something about 682 being the horse of the girl the 4 horsemen of whatever she's death and 682 is the horse atleasts that's the common theory
I love how you al integrated these two together. They have HISTORY history. 173 is a goddamn god and he slaughtered most of 682’s family and his kind in another story. 173 was a demonic king who led 4 others who were just as bad as him and wanted to destroy the universe. 173 is NOT to be fucked with. That multiplying thing? 173 has a black goo substance like “the old man” that allows him to multiply. They truly should have listened to 682 for once
It's weird that it's the only SCP 682 seems to know. The others it just fights absentmindedly, but it knew 173. When they first met, it kept eye contact, as if it already knew what looking away would do. My best guess is the two fought before they were in the foundation, and 682 failed to kill it, and could not adapt to it, as it's weakness isn't apparent. You might not think to grow extra eyes unless you already know looking at it immobilized it. You would likely try to fortify your neck, or do something to counter its super speed. Its weakness is not obvious. If 682 did not know that ahead of time, he might have been beaten constantly by 173 for hours, days, even years before someone else entered the room, distracted it, and gave 682 a chance to realize the creature stopped killing when it was being watched. TLDR: I think 173 tore 682 a new one long before either came to the foundation, so 682 is terrified of it, something that never tires, and can never be destroyed.
@@goreobsessed2308 well for 1 that's not how 682 works. For 2 173 cant kill 682 so there's nothing to "mutate" from anyways. I legitimately dont understand how this tale was allowed
i always feel bad for 682 tbh. my theory is that he's a manufestation of human hatred and that if humans were more loving as a species, he would be too. (999 is like the embodyment of joy and happiness, the counter part to 682)

So they make it impossible with stupid made up reason, for example, if they didnt want 173 to kill it, they would just say: "hurr durr, the reptile addapted to beeing killed by 173" end of story again
@@nekominorinya2569 yeah it’s pretty uninspired. With literal infinite 683’s to put into stories they really should have some where he is just actually killed permanently
They wrote themselves into a hole I think. An xk-class scenario couldn’t kill 682 and neither could any of the most dangerous monsters attempted so far. Anything that kills this beast now would be seen as lacking in comparison, or as some deus ex machina.
What this story taught me is that this SCP site is like too many companies: they underestimate the importance of redundancy and preventive maintenance...
In case anyone is wondering why 173 looks different now, I believe it's because its image has been removed from the wiki out of respect for the artist who originally created the statue who didn't intended his work to be featured in such dark subject matter. I think i'm right unless someone wants to correct me on that
Why is the Statue multiplying? Why the Reptile can't grow more eyes that blink separately? Why didn't the Foundation just continue to look over SCP-137, preventing it from multiplying? Why the Reptile suffers so tremendously from broken bones while it can live in a state of a bloody puddle? WHY didn't the Foundation crush SCP-173 in a powder (it's proven in the story it can be disassembled), melt the powder in a crucible and pour it into a vessel, then seal it? WHY THE ESCAPE PART IS SO RUSHED- *inhale* This whole story looks like the second part was written by the author's younger brother who was like "nngaaah i want the statue to win it's so cool let it multiply and dont explain anything" I tried watching the video to the end through the unbearable cringe. I will never accept this as cannon and hope you will not too.
Dr Bob dedicated a decent video to the 173 multiplying scenario but yeah I'm not a fan of it either. It's just so out of nowhere. Then again I'm not a fan of most end of world scenario videos so take my opinion with a truck load of salt 😂
@@dorkydragon5055 chill, you can still have your own takes, personally i like this story as it fleshes 682 out besides just "he's evil for the sake of being evil"
Agreed, the first half was good (really liked how it depicted the Foundation as ironically cruel while at the same time too arrogant to notice), the second an incoherent mess. It's supposed to be canon, yes? Sigh.
If 173 can mentally scar 682, then its definitely one of the most powerful SCP’s in the facility One of the only SCPs that can truly eradicate 682, instead chose to eradicate all of earth’s inhabitants too, 173 was the real XK class end of the world scenario this whole time, and the foundation was poking at it like a knife to an overinflated balloon 173 may not be as powerful as the scarlet king, but who the hell knows if the duplication ability evens it out or could even overpower him
A powerful creature having a simple weakness doesn't make the weakness more powerful. That's like saying since the world's strongest man died after eating a payday bar due to his peanut allergy that nuts were more powerful than every human
That last section was chilling. We are in the body of one of the most resiliant and indestructible SCPs ever to exist, we should feel powerful, invincible... But there we all are.. All those powers of adaptability, indestrutibility, all that anger, all that power at our scaly body.. And yet we are as defenseless as our regular boring selfs. We can only just blink We can only just blink And wait for the perpetual silence.
and it doesnt really make sense to me. why blink if he doesnt have to? he didnt for 14 hours right before that. and why did he keep majically not having the special eyes everywhere on his body, every single damn expirement. and they just paralyze him with sedatives??? why not do that for the expirement. and if 173 killed lots of them, why can 1 hold up easily against it? (disregarding the foundation's attempts to help 173, 682 would survive)
@@julesssssssss The scp 173 moves way too fast. It isn't impossible that it killed every single living member because no one expected it. It has no weakness, you can stare for all eternity but it will win no matter what, why waste your existence staring at statues for the rest of your life until you can no longer, not to mention there were hundreds of them as well. Scp 682 was gonna lose and it was only a matter of time before one got the better of him, when he tires out and can't hold on.
Ok but... making 682 smaller by cutting it into pieces would be a super bad idea because if they grew back as individuals, there would be 5 more 682s and each would have eyes ... right?
I looked up that in a previous reality they looked different The forms you currently see them are oppressed forms 682 was a race called the Leviathans and SCP-173 was said that it and many others like it were a single entity until they split apart and landed in different realities. I haven’t found where the source is but I found someone mentioned it so don’t think of it serious on what I tell you until I’m for certain.
SCP-682 is one of the originally least well written SCPs but it being some sort of enemy that needs to be destroyed ASAP makes it a punching bag for the foundation to use it’s “toys” on. Which often leads to many cool fights
This is part a great telling of one of the most iconic cross tests, and part an extension of that into the updated entry for 173. But more than that, its a remarkably sympathetic, almost humanizing perspective on 682. For a creature so hostile and genocidal towards human life, and indiscriminately so, that is a remarkable achievment. Though i will say that this somehow feels like for the first time, there were limits placed on 682's abilities. Ive never heard of it being broken into chunks too damaged to regenerate before; especially given its constant acid baths, and the fact that it has regenerated from being liquified before. One more note: given its intelligence, ive always thought it would be fascinating if some entity could have a proper conversation with the creature; if it could be done without the Reptile just getting angry, trying to kill the other party, and running off to go rampage. To hear it really chew the fat, say what it really thinks, and give its views on the nature of things would be a heck of a thing unto itself.
It essentially did. They put him against an extremely pessimistic D class that hated the world and humans like 682. They both talked about their own thoughts and points for a bit until 682 described his hatred so viscerally the other guy fell into a permanent coma. So it isn’t advised to talk to him usually
I feel like this is one falls apart to easily. The basic premise of an entire race of 682's was taken out by one peanut... When just the one we know is able to reasonably handle it is laughable to put it mildly. That there were more than one 682 is just so... Why? As well. And of course, if peanut has existed for so long, it would almost certainly have had much more drastic measures taken on a global scale to lock up or destroy beyond the foundation, and of course where did it even come from? Concrete, rebar and paint aren't exactly natural. (Though I suppose a 1000 vs 682 race war could explain this at least.) And then random "Endless self duplication" While terrifying to be sure is just so... lolwut? Where did that come from? And what was keeping them from being perpetually contained by the eye pods anyway?
Yeah, 173's duplication was... deux ex machina-ish, at best. I mean, really? In all the time it has been canonically contained (and even worse, the time it lived), that never happened? Unconvinced.
The xk class scenario is another part of the canon. You can choose to believe that scenario happened or not, you can choose to fully believe the original scp 173 document or not. That's how the scp wiki works. And 682 in many many stories has been a race of monsters and 682 a lot of the time is the last of its kind. So believe what you want to believe and if you don't like it, then don't believe it
The duplication part felt the laziest to me personally. The way it was introduced reminds me of what used to happen whenever Superman needed a new power. He'd just get it. Additionally, I can't help but notice that the SCP foundation, this unrealistic sci-fi level company, makes mistakes that normal companies would be able to easily prevent and think their way around after they happened the first time. If a power outage occurred once and led to a massacre, they'd make sure there was a way to keep eyes on the SCP even if the power went out. Lastly, I can only assume that the reason this last member of the species did so well with adaptation is because it's adapted a lot more from ancient times. Maybe they didn't adapt until later? I can sort of see something like that being the case. This one is much more intelligent than its ancestors and has had to do a lot more to survive than they because the SCP foundation is incapable of giving it such drastic damage... for... whatever reason... That's another thing that bothers me with the SCP foundations resources. They should have just as much ability to break bones as this thing does. I assume its strength and ability is paranormal though. But, back on point, this 682 has been through a shitton of escalating stuff since its ancestors, and likely started adapting faster after meeting with humans, and then even faster once the SCP foundation formed, and then got to a sort of zenith when they actively decided to use their recourses to destroy it. It's had to do a lot of adaptations it never really thought about the need for before?
Ostensibly the race of 682s likely was not anywhere near as tough as 682 as they had not been subjected to multiple failed attempts on their life and adapted to them. There may have been a time where snapping 682's neck would have been enough to kill it, but we're far beyond that now.
The picture idea could easily have worked. SCP-096 only has to be seen once after all. So just have the room fitted with flamethrowers strong enough to literally turn the picture to ash regardless of wherever in the room SCP-173 is.
But people like you never think about how it can easily go wrong too. Even if everyone is told not to look at the picture, it's human nature to want to. Once shy guy is lose, everyone would look at him, causing 173 to get lose. Since no one activated the flamethrowers because of the chaos, you now have something that can't be looked at attached to something that needs to be looked at. Just because there's an "easy solution" doesn't mean there's automatically no risks if it goes badly.
So 682 was a hero actually he tried to destroy it. The unkillable lizard was right humans didn't listen. It's ironic how the foundation became the bad guys because of arrogance and the lizard became a good guy.
SCP-682 did not become the good guy. The SCP Foundation was merely naive. SCP-682 hated and wanted to kill all life. He was not good. He was just not as naive as the Foundation.
Plague doctor is also afraid of 682. He sees 682 as being so full of the "pestilence", aka hatred, that he doesn't want to be anywhere around it. There was a short story on that.

@@miloknight585 pretty sad tbh, but honestly, the new version is so much more terrifying, because it goes from concrete arms snapping your neck to multiple pieces of malleable yet almost indestructible steel rebar pretty much crushing your neck like a soda can
SCP Researcher: Lets put a picture of 096 on 173. 05 Council member: REQUEST DENIED!!! We are not setting ourselves up for that hellified triple threat match. The action WILL spill out of the ring if you catch my drift.
Yeah, this is just an alternative timeline of possible events. Considering 682 has literally been reduced to ashes and dust in other tests and still reformed from that, there's no way even an army of 173 could physically pummel him to death. He'd simply adapt and pull some shit like becoming non corporeal, so 173 couldn't touch him.
The problem is that 173 is also a non corporeal being, he slaughtered the species of 682 and scared him. He is being who’s only weakness are beings above him on the non corporeal scale(such as 106)
Thing is, why do you think 682 is scared of him if 682 can survive litterally everything? 173 may be able to destroy 682’s reality anchor (he was able to come back from a knife that delete victims from existence)
i love how the shy guy and scp 999 are both huging echother in the corner theyre like: the end is here where doomed!...im not going down without one last cudle! and im not going down without u!
I think after every test or before every test on 682 they should put 682 in a chamber with 999, I know that the last time 682 interacted with 999 ended with people getting injured, but maybe a few minutes with 999 wouldn't hurt, and it could possibly show to 682 that the foundation isn't cruel it's just cold.
I've always wondered, who strikes first? 682 of the SCP Foundation? The more they kept trying to kill 682, the more I question if he was ever that aggressive, or if it was because of the SCP Foundation.
@Exo Spellbreak its a theory And its a good question, because there is not really answer of the question who shoots first. Because someone can hate and dont attack and attack but not hate.
@@Genburthing Another thing is that it probably not the SCP Foundation, but just human did something to 682 in general which cause him to hate humanity. Still despite his unending hatred for humans, that doesn’t prove that he started it.
According to the serpent’s hand’s document on 682, the SCP foundation woke 682 up from their hibernation, started experiments on 682 and may have even created 682’s present form entirety. So if they’re to be believed then the foundation struck first.
But that also means that the deadlier ones could have a higher chance of getting out and would kill a lot of staff and would be a nightmare to get back in containment
I now understand that the reason 682 still hasn't adopted to the acid bath is because it only adapts to lethal situations, the acid bath is nothing to 682 thus it doesn't need to adapt. After watching this video, it made me think, what if 682's adaptability is due to it being the last of it's kind, and so it makes sure to survive till the day it's babies are safe and to save it's kind. 682's lore just gets better and better
In the wiki there's an entry about how instances of scp 173 could emerge from the reddish brown waste that whatever room scp173 is in, starts filling up with.
This may be the only time I feel bad for 682, why not just throw him into a different dimension like the one sealed in that one cave with the alternate dimension where everything was dead and death itself was rumoured to be in there. what if they opened the seal and threw in 682, quickly sealing it to make sure death will not get out.
The thing is. 682 would for sure get back, its almost impossible to stop him from that. He survived being erased from existence, and the second he is in our dimension again - Everyones dead
They tried. They tried so many different things. From absolutely disintegrating him to the atomic level, to putting him in a infinitely expanding Ikea. They even put him against the Gate Guardian, and he said that it can’t kill him yet, that it wasn’t time.
If I recall, then the entrance to the death dimension was sealed, the death entity was rapidly approaching it. Opening that seal even for a moment could allow the entity through and thereby ending that world. Which is why it's not a viable solution
SCP-682 is just annoying because it´s absolutley absurd how well it can adapt to things, in one of the termination attempts it turned into some kind of undetermined type of matter to escape, it makes 0 sense, the only ways to kill it is probably by throwing it near ultra-high-gravity objects or doing the 173 test without all the plot armour.
I was a little confused about the changed appearance of 173 but then I remembered the OG artist was againt using the original design further. Thank you for your respect and this new version of our most beloved 173 is certainly welcome to stay!! Edit: spelling.
Wait, THAT is the original design? The other one is creepier. It’s simpler. I like it more. I thought the foundation had preformed experiments on 173 and gave it a new body or something.
@@TheSurrealist. no, the design you see SCP 173 has in the video isnt the og design. Its a new take on how 173 would look accodring to this video creator. This happened due to misuse by certain individuals who gained financial profets off the Og desing which was against the creator's wish. Its old news actually, since 2020 to be exact and honestly your take on the redesign reason might make a real good entry if you're up to making one!
Honestly I feel so bad for scp 682. Scp 682 is forced into an acid bath and constantly being a punching bag. The foundation doesn't seem to care about researching it.
@@freshmadgod Imagine if you were difficult to permanently kill, and the foundation put you in an acid bath and performed tests on you in an attempt to you kill you because you were "anomalous" enough. Granted immortality is a curse, but still. That'd be a miserable existence. You'd probably want to try to escape by any means necessary too.
I know the foundation probably won’t do this because 173 is useful or whatever but put 173 in 682’s acid bath with people watching it. The acid will dissolve all of it and 682 can have the joy of watching it die.
173 should be coated with a luminescent spray (like when you drain the two parts of glowsticks into separate bottles and mix them on a surface) before being moved, or any hazardous tests, and should be reapplied whenever it's convenient. Very easy way to keep it visible for 15 minutes at a time regardless of power :)
I think they should ask - or have the sentient computer ask - if the reptile would be happy staying on a planet with no life, or if simply knowing life is out there would keep its rage going. If it's the first one, in a none world ending scenario, the foundation could put it on Mars or something to just chill
If scp 682 can adapt to basically anything, then it could have have developed a way to sense and see whats around it without using eyes so it would never have to even look at scp 173
173 considers it cheating if you blink with one eye at a time, so, honestly, it seems more like a game to him than actual rules, meaning he would still likely kill 173 for only 'sensing' him. This also wouldn't work because you can sense 173 when he grabs your neck to snap it, but he still obviously snaps it.
This wassuch a well-written tale, it felt so different than most other tales. The narration of the reptile brought out it's fear so well, which made this story so unique. You could feel every word. 👏
Wow, this was abig reveal to me: 682 was right. He might be out to destroy the world, but he can be contained easily compared to almost every other being in his level and higher. Heck if the foundation actually communicated with him instead of just listening and documenting, then maybe their relationship might be at least neutral.
Containment class is not synonymous with danger level. The fact that SCP-682 is Keter means it is hard to contain. Other SCPs like Abel being able to break out on a spontaneous basis is usually due to more lax containment procedures. I mean seriously? "Mate, this mf tears through metal with his bare hands and can run 64 meters under 3 seconds. Let's put his containment underground with a oversized sprinkler system and oh, let's have a long ass hallway"
I like the fact out of all of this the 05 counsel probably survived. They have several procedures and contingency plans just in case a world ending event happens.
Ik 682 may be a murderous indestructible beast, but I feel he’s the underdog of all the monsters. Every one of his stories almost makes you feel empathy for him and a lingering hope that he makes it out alive.
I always wonder why they don't turned the light off in the first test, no matter how many eyes, 682 wouldn't be able to see for a moment. If it adapted to night vision, throw a flash grenade in there for another short moment were it couldn't see.
Is there an universe where the SCP foundation does no experiments with SCP 682 or try to destroy it so badly its hatred never became so overwhelming like in the most other universes? That also should meant that SCP 682 wouldn`t be forced to do so much adaptations and frequent contaimend breaches.
Considering this is the SCP-Verse, yes. There is definitely a universe like that... Of course, a lot more things would be different like 999 becoming the spawn of Satan. (Metaphorically, meaning evil.)
Theres also that one alt/multiverse that apphered in Tokyo, and 682 was apparently cool there. Forget its number, but I know its on youtube. Something about talking cats or whatnot
I don't understand the fact that severed parts of SCP-682 can reform into multiple versions of SCP-682. If SCP-682 can do that, what happens to the other instances of SCP-682? Are they invincible too? Would that cause an XK scenario?
From a tale I don’t remember witch Koitern slaughtered one third of 682 brothers in their true form the actual reason for this is that Koitern made a deal with the scarlet king to help him absorb all the low elder gods but scarlet king betrayed him so he decided to mirder his kids
Never thought I'd agree with the reptile. But he's right, why waste so much resources in an useless attempt to destroy what cannot be destroyed if there's monsters out there that are far more evil like the old man?
If these foundation researchers would try to eliminate something far more cruel as 682 with the same attempts made with 682, maybe it would show success
Pen!s
@@pax9930 bruh
It's more about the level of destruction and malevolence that 682 poses. The old man can be easily baited into it's prison, and doesn't pose that big of a threat. He's a stalking predator after all. 682 however, is unkillable and has the destructive force of a nuke.
If confronted with a powerful force, 682 can cause an XK-class end of the world scenario. His main ability is his adaptability, which is why he's the most dangerous contained being. The risk he represents is either equal to or higher than the most powerful being the foundation knows about (equal if said being is the most powerful of this reality, higher if the most powerful is yet to be discovered by the foundation). It's simply why destroying it is of the highest importance.
It's the entity in the human subconscious. It knows he is a threat
How in God's name did they think they could get the 096 Picture donned 173 into 682's chamber without one of the three killing them?
Hence it was denied.
Dr bright could have done it.
Clearly the foundation is so desperate to get rid of 682 that all logic went out the window

Send in the D bois
For those wondering about the redesign of 173:The SCP universe does have many anomalies, and their interpretations are under free use. There is but one exception to this rule. 173. Designed by Japanese artist Izumi Kato, he wasn't aware until a little while back that his work was being used for 173. He graciously allowed the SCP wiki to keep it if it wasn't being used for commercial purposes. However, the SCP Foundation still took it down out of respect for Kato's intentions when making the piece, and the number of people trying to profit off of SCP merch, which would surely include 173 at some point. In short, 173 has undergone a redesign, and this new model in the video is akin to the one in the Unity game. However, due to how poorly the model looks, with the OG head being used and it just overall not looking very appealing, its very likely they had these videos in the works already when the redesign happened, so they just took the head off of the OG model and slapped it onto some wire metal monster, maybe a model for a SCP like the Clockworks. If this is true, then its likely we'll get a more polished version.
TL:DR;SCP changed the design of 173 because out of respect for the OG artist, so they had to put something together quick to release these videos.
I get that but the other design is sooo much better. 😭
There isn't much we can do,as this was a decision made by the admins of the wiki and the creator of 173. If even one person, who lets say made an SCP game, and they coded in 173. If that game isn't f2p, that could cause a troubling legal battle between Izumi and the SCP fandom. And due to the additional fact that "Untitled" (the art piece used for 173), had its own intentions and meaning, the wiki decided it best to react the image. 173 has received an redesign in the form of the Unity game, and that's likely what this 173 Clockworks abomination was mimicking. All we can do is hope it'll be better in the future.
Thank you for explaining, I was really confused
But these videos are classified information. You of all people should know this SCP-3393-23967. Sincerely, SCP-3393-24731.
(This was me messing around about the SCP-3393 for your eyes only video.)
The deadliest combo of SCPs: the statue and shy guy, if you look you die, and if you don’t you die. Somehow made more dangerous by adding 682. Great idea.

In all honesty, I feel you should never really kill an evil like SCP 682, the entity that may potentially contest the thing that can and would destroy the lesser evil. Just like microbes in a microbiome, diseases are bad regardless, but having many and diverse types will keep any other disease from becoming a superbug, and having many different types may give a superbug more competition to deal with, less resources to use, less space to grow, and more energy to burn against others. But after you remove those, you make them disappear from such microbiome, then the only ones left will thrive with no disturbances and all the resources and spaces laid upon its aggressive soft flagellum.
Well it just a fan story no cannon
Well shit, never thought I'd feel sympathy for 682, but here we are...
Amen. I was spike wait hold up 682 has a good point. Most of the time there is no good guys or bad guys there are only entities doing what they think is right and what they think is wrong

@@tigerazoz2910 I don't agree
I like this take on SCP-682, because it feels more realistic (in the SCP world). After all, one of the big possibilities for killing SCP-682 was a nuke, but that was denied because of the chance that it survived and adapted to it, but now you have stories about SCP-682 growing to the size of planets and eating Earth because it got sent on a rocket to space. What I'm saying is that I like SCP-682 when it's extremely difficult to destroy, and the methods to do so could be disastrous, but not impossible.
When 682 mutates and adapts it will adapt to survive and sometimes gain the abilities or properties of the threat but growiing to the size of a planet is just ridiculous

Well he’s not wrong. 682’s claim did in fact come true in a story involving 173 where it multiplied and spread across the globe. These clones seemingly murdering everyone on the planet, foundation included. The story ended with Dr. Bright giving one final video recording of his status before presumably getting attacked by an SCP 173 copy.
the problem thoug his that........ literally far too mayn creatuers could easily dipose of an entire army of 173s.

He can't. This is just bad fanfic level writing. He survived a giant flame sword from an angle. Survived in absolute nothingness. Yet a rock that breaks necks can kill it. Yeah ok.

I do not like how this story took away 682’s whole purpose in life. In one story, at the end of the universe, 682, when left all alone on an empty, lifeless Earth, 682 still felt rage towards anything he perceived to potentially have life, and always felt glee at its potential death.
Even when bored with nothing to do for all eternity, he still kept his undying hate. When stars died, he felt good. That was how much he hated life.
I think that story was called 682 the Star Charter or something like that, due to him in his boredom charting the stars of the universe. It was a very good story.

Pretty much everything they do is meant to protect humanity from perishing. Some d class personel dying is justified when hundreds or more people are spared from an untimely death. But what does 682 do? He just kills people because he finds life disgusting? I dont kill people just because i dont like them. There is pretty much no justification for his actions. Though there is the story about an entity that lives in human subconsciousness or something. But thats probably not canon in the head of the original author who wrote 682. That story also doesnt make much sense. It leaves a lot of details blank.
It really does
After the first time 682 showed fear, I don't know why the Foundation didn't try to poke around 682's history with 173.
The history part is made up. 682 doesnt have any relatives nor did it meet 173 beforr
@Username the garden is the serpent's place
I swear 682's true anomalous power is actually instilling a great desire in the humans around it to try and kill it, as well as being able to adapt to anything
now that, is a very sensible theory
It’s not a power. Human beings just view an unkillable creature as a challenge. It becomes an obsession because 682 represents a middle finger to humanity’s claim of ultimate power over its environment
If you just completely ignore this story and look at the many other (better) stories about 682, it's actually the physical embodiment of the thought of death - or the desire for things to die. It literally embodies that thought and its true form lives on another plane of existence where thoughts and consciousness originate (as one of the biggest and most powerful things there).
In other words, it's literally a living, breathing, thinking embodiment of the desire for things to die. So your explanation would actually make a lot more sense than this story's explanation for why they're trying so hard to kill it (this story sucks in regards to accuracy, take it with a grain of salt).

The comment are so recent
It's weird that it's the only SCP 682 seems to know. The others it just fights absentmindedly, but it knew 173. When they first met, it kept eye contact, as if it already knew what looking away would do. My best guess is the two fought before they were in the foundation, and 682 failed to kill it, and could not adapt to it, as it's weakness isn't apparent. You might not think to grow extra eyes unless you already know looking at it immobilized it. You would likely try to fortify your neck, or do something to counter its super speed. Its weakness is not obvious. If 682 did not know that ahead of time, he might have been beaten constantly by 173 for hours, days, even years before someone else entered the room, distracted it, and gave 682 a chance to realize the creature stopped killing when it was being watched.
TLDR: I think 173 tore 682 a new one long before either came to the foundation, so 682 is terrified of it, something that never tires, and can never be destroyed.

In case anyone is wondering why 173 looks different now, I believe it's because its image has been removed from the wiki out of respect for the artist who originally created the statue who didn't intended his work to be featured in such dark subject matter. I think i'm right unless someone wants to correct me on that
Correct
I like it better this was the original looked stupid IMO
@@itzjustkris7964 but peanut!1
@@itzjustkris7964 I think it actually was because the original artist that made the statue wanted it to be removed but im not sure
Im pretty sure they were fine with it as long a it wasent monitized, but they respectfully took it down anyway
I'm really enjoying these stories being told through the eyes of the scps
moxi pfp nice
Why is the Statue multiplying? Why the Reptile can't grow more eyes that blink separately? Why didn't the Foundation just continue to look over SCP-137, preventing it from multiplying? Why the Reptile suffers so tremendously from broken bones while it can live in a state of a bloody puddle? WHY didn't the Foundation crush SCP-173 in a powder (it's proven in the story it can be disassembled), melt the powder in a crucible and pour it into a vessel, then seal it? WHY THE ESCAPE PART IS SO RUSHED-
*inhale*
This whole story looks like the second part was written by the author's younger brother who was like "nngaaah i want the statue to win it's so cool let it multiply and dont explain anything"
I tried watching the video to the end through the unbearable cringe. I will never accept this as cannon and hope you will not too.
Apparrently eyes blinking separately is cheating for 173 so he kills them anyway scp 173 multiplying? Idk, his files were lost or something
Dr Bob dedicated a decent video to the 173 multiplying scenario but yeah I'm not a fan of it either. It's just so out of nowhere. Then again I'm not a fan of most end of world scenario videos so take my opinion with a truck load of salt 😂
Cringe from the start man. Oh yeah tons of lizards were around suuure everything needs a backstory. Sigh I miss mystery no sense of wonder.
@@dorkydragon5055 chill, you can still have your own takes, personally i like this story as it fleshes 682 out besides just "he's evil for the sake of being evil"
Agreed, the first half was good (really liked how it depicted the Foundation as ironically cruel while at the same time too arrogant to notice), the second an incoherent mess. It's supposed to be canon, yes? Sigh.
Seeing scp 173 would be a torture on its own, seeing it with its new appearence would be scp 106 or scp 3999 kind of torture
If 173 can mentally scar 682, then its definitely one of the most powerful SCP’s in the facility
One of the only SCPs that can truly eradicate 682, instead chose to eradicate all of earth’s inhabitants too, 173 was the real XK class end of the world scenario this whole time, and the foundation was poking at it like a knife to an overinflated balloon
173 may not be as powerful as the scarlet king, but who the hell knows if the duplication ability evens it out or could even overpower him
Alright, so hear me out. 173 vs the Scarlet King.
The scarlet king can just destroy the planet scp 173 is on this isn't a fight
@@baseupp12 You're right. The Scarlet King would need help from his children.
I’m surprised no one knows about 173’s true form the koitern
A powerful creature having a simple weakness doesn't make the weakness more powerful. That's like saying since the world's strongest man died after eating a payday bar due to his peanut allergy that nuts were more powerful than every human
That last section was chilling.
We are in the body of one of the most resiliant and indestructible SCPs ever to exist, we should feel powerful, invincible... But there we all are..

(disregarding the foundation's attempts to help 173, 682 would survive)
@@julesssssssss The scp 173 moves way too fast. It isn't impossible that it killed every single living member because no one expected it. It has no weakness, you can stare for all eternity but it will win no matter what, why waste your existence staring at statues for the rest of your life until you can no longer, not to mention there were hundreds of them as well. Scp 682 was gonna lose and it was only a matter of time before one got the better of him, when he tires out and can't hold on.

I feel bad for the child, tickle monster and that kind teddy bear that heals everyone.
the tickle monster will survie
Wow I finally feel sympathy for 682. I love how this is told through its perspective!
Ok but... making 682 smaller by cutting it into pieces would be a super bad idea because if they grew back as individuals, there would be 5 more 682s and each would have eyes ... right?
weaker but yes (they would remain smalleralso)
@@devilx2249 ah but its the "weaker" part where they are not so hard to destroy as default 682
17:49 Even with the mass panic, this has to be one of the cutest things ever
I really like that this is from 682's perspective for a change, it makes it a more relatable character
So let me get this straight somehow SCP-173 killed an entire race of SCP-682 hard to destroy reptiles? Forgive me if I find that hard to believe.
Its true
So they all looked away or what?
I looked up that in a previous reality they looked different
The forms you currently see them are oppressed forms
682 was a race called the Leviathans and SCP-173 was said that it and many others like it were a single entity until they split apart and landed in different realities.
I haven’t found where the source is but I found someone mentioned it so don’t think of it serious on what I tell you until I’m for certain.
I mean it has survived things far worse than a broken neck
I think the old species might not have had the same adaptability
SCP-682 is one of the originally least well written SCPs but it being some sort of enemy that needs to be destroyed ASAP makes it a punching bag for the foundation to use it’s “toys” on. Which often leads to many cool fights
You know something's wrong when 682 feels the feeling of *f e a r*
This is part a great telling of one of the most iconic cross tests, and part an extension of that into the updated entry for 173.
But more than that, its a remarkably sympathetic, almost humanizing perspective on 682. For a creature so hostile and genocidal towards human life, and indiscriminately so, that is a remarkable achievment.
Though i will say that this somehow feels like for the first time, there were limits placed on 682's abilities. Ive never heard of it being broken into chunks too damaged to regenerate before; especially given its constant acid baths, and the fact that it has regenerated from being liquified before.
One more note: given its intelligence, ive always thought it would be fascinating if some entity could have a proper conversation with the creature; if it could be done without the Reptile just getting angry, trying to kill the other party, and running off to go rampage. To hear it really chew the fat, say what it really thinks, and give its views on the nature of things would be a heck of a thing unto itself.
It's more that SCP-173 has killed its species before, so I believe it knows how to kill him permanently.
It essentially did. They put him against an extremely pessimistic D class that hated the world and humans like 682. They both talked about their own thoughts and points for a bit until 682 described his hatred so viscerally the other guy fell into a permanent coma. So it isn’t advised to talk to him usually
A Podcast with SCP - 682 and SCP - 343.
I wonder if 99 could help him mellow out a bit
“It killed my species”
Hold on, this thing had an entire species?!! An entire species of indestructible lizard beasts?!
I think 682 is the only instance of being indestructible
Not anynore hehe
Actually it's a whole species of leviathans or the scarlet kings kids
If they were killed by the koitern they couldn't have been indestructible. Maybe they can be killed outside of earth's existence.
@@pyromare4879 perhaps the immense evolutionary pressure of 173 is the reason 682 is so adaptable
I feel like this is one falls apart to easily.
The basic premise of an entire race of 682's was taken out by one peanut... When just the one we know is able to reasonably handle it is laughable to put it mildly. That there were more than one 682 is just so... Why? As well. And of course, if peanut has existed for so long, it would almost certainly have had much more drastic measures taken on a global scale to lock up or destroy beyond the foundation, and of course where did it even come from? Concrete, rebar and paint aren't exactly natural. (Though I suppose a 1000 vs 682 race war could explain this at least.)
And then random "Endless self duplication" While terrifying to be sure is just so... lolwut? Where did that come from? And what was keeping them from being perpetually contained by the eye pods anyway?
Yeah, 173's duplication was... deux ex machina-ish, at best. I mean, really? In all the time it has been canonically contained (and even worse, the time it lived), that never happened? Unconvinced.
The xk class scenario is another part of the canon. You can choose to believe that scenario happened or not, you can choose to fully believe the original scp 173 document or not. That's how the scp wiki works. And 682 in many many stories has been a race of monsters and 682 a lot of the time is the last of its kind. So believe what you want to believe and if you don't like it, then don't believe it
Maybe 682 was the only was who was indestructible.
The duplication part felt the laziest to me personally. The way it was introduced reminds me of what used to happen whenever Superman needed a new power. He'd just get it.
Additionally, I can't help but notice that the SCP foundation, this unrealistic sci-fi level company, makes mistakes that normal companies would be able to easily prevent and think their way around after they happened the first time. If a power outage occurred once and led to a massacre, they'd make sure there was a way to keep eyes on the SCP even if the power went out.
Lastly, I can only assume that the reason this last member of the species did so well with adaptation is because it's adapted a lot more from ancient times. Maybe they didn't adapt until later? I can sort of see something like that being the case. This one is much more intelligent than its ancestors and has had to do a lot more to survive than they because the SCP foundation is incapable of giving it such drastic damage... for... whatever reason... That's another thing that bothers me with the SCP foundations resources. They should have just as much ability to break bones as this thing does. I assume its strength and ability is paranormal though.
But, back on point, this 682 has been through a shitton of escalating stuff since its ancestors, and likely started adapting faster after meeting with humans, and then even faster once the SCP foundation formed, and then got to a sort of zenith when they actively decided to use their recourses to destroy it. It's had to do a lot of adaptations it never really thought about the need for before?
Ostensibly the race of 682s likely was not anywhere near as tough as 682 as they had not been subjected to multiple failed attempts on their life and adapted to them. There may have been a time where snapping 682's neck would have been enough to kill it, but we're far beyond that now.
The picture idea could easily have worked. SCP-096 only has to be seen once after all. So just have the room fitted with flamethrowers strong enough to literally turn the picture to ash regardless of wherever in the room SCP-173 is.
It would just look around the picture. Also 682 already saw Shyguy if they ran the test before.
But people like you never think about how it can easily go wrong too. Even if everyone is told not to look at the picture, it's human nature to want to. Once shy guy is lose, everyone would look at him, causing 173 to get lose. Since no one activated the flamethrowers because of the chaos, you now have something that can't be looked at attached to something that needs to be looked at. Just because there's an "easy solution" doesn't mean there's automatically no risks if it goes badly.
So 682 was a hero actually he tried to destroy it. The unkillable lizard was right humans didn't listen. It's ironic how the foundation became the bad guys because of arrogance and the lizard became a good guy.
That's the most liberal BS I have ever heard that thing hates anything living it needs to diy
Ah. Does that mean you're willing to join the Chaos Insurgency now?
@@theantagonist801
So that's the purpose you guys go absolute AWOL
SCP-682 did not become the good guy. The SCP Foundation was merely naive. SCP-682 hated and wanted to kill all life. He was not good. He was just not as naive as the Foundation.
@@theantagonist801 Yes
An in depth video about the hanged king himself would be great ngl
this is the one story that I genuinely felt sympathy for 682 in
“You’ve won, but at what cost?”
-682 to the foundation, probably
Are we gonna talk about how both the unkillable reptile and the plague doctor are both horrified by the statue. I think they would be good friends.
Plague doctor is also afraid of 682. He sees 682 as being so full of the "pestilence", aka hatred, that he doesn't want to be anywhere around it. There was a short story on that.
The design for 173 looks more metal than concrete. Perhaps the Secret Laboratory design would be better
I notion to bring back the peanut
Some artist captured the scp and took away the concrete (from what I know)
@@Tyfu39944 Usage of the peanut is a copyright violation as of a couple months ago. The original creator of the peanut finally got around to copyrighting the original picture.
@@miloknight585 pretty sad tbh, but honestly, the new version is so much more terrifying, because it goes from concrete arms snapping your neck to multiple pieces of malleable yet almost indestructible steel rebar pretty much crushing your neck like a soda can
@@miloknight585 Is it really? I wonder what that means for all the previous videos on this channel that featured 173's old design.

15:13 for a organization who prides themselves on containing SCPs, you’d think they would invest in some flashlights
SCP Researcher: Lets put a picture of 096 on 173.
05 Council member: REQUEST DENIED!!! We are not setting ourselves up for that hellified triple threat match. The action WILL spill out of the ring if you catch my drift.
Yeah, this is just an alternative timeline of possible events. Considering 682 has literally been reduced to ashes and dust in other tests and still reformed from that, there's no way even an army of 173 could physically pummel him to death. He'd simply adapt and pull some shit like becoming non corporeal, so 173 couldn't touch him.
*Cough cough* Different canons *cough cough*
*Cough Cough* "alternative timeline" *Cough Cough*
*Cough Cough* WHEEZE *cough cough*
The problem is that 173 is also a non corporeal being, he slaughtered the species of 682 and scared him. He is being who’s only weakness are beings above him on the non corporeal scale(such as 106)
Thing is, why do you think 682 is scared of him if 682 can survive litterally everything? 173 may be able to destroy 682’s reality anchor (he was able to come back from a knife that delete victims from existence)
I like who the video is displayed in SCP 682’s POV, it really shows how cruel the foundation is along with how cruel 173 is as well.
i love how the shy guy and scp 999 are both huging echother in the corner theyre like: the end is here where doomed!...im not going down without one last cudle! and im not going down without u!
I think after every test or before every test on 682 they should put 682 in a chamber with 999,
I know that the last time 682 interacted with 999 ended with people getting injured, but maybe a few minutes with 999 wouldn't hurt, and it could possibly show to 682 that the foundation isn't cruel it's just cold.
The foundation is cruel forcing the lizard outta his rightfully anger is cruel
That would not work 682 does not belive the "we are cold not cruel" lie.
I've always wondered, who strikes first? 682 of the SCP Foundation?
The more they kept trying to kill 682, the more I question if he was ever that aggressive, or if it was because of the SCP Foundation.
@Exo Spellbreak its a theory
And its a good question, because there is not really answer of the question who shoots first.
Because someone can hate and dont attack and attack but not hate.
@Exo Spellbreak Well, there is no canon, but still that’s one of the more popular theories.
I bet bro was just playing on his Xbox and then the scp foundation just kidnapped him
@@Genburthing
Another thing is that it probably not the SCP Foundation, but just human did something to 682 in general which cause him to hate humanity.
Still despite his unending hatred for humans, that doesn’t prove that he started it.
According to the serpent’s hand’s document on 682, the SCP foundation woke 682 up from their hibernation, started experiments on 682 and may have even created 682’s present form entirety. So if they’re to be believed then the foundation struck first.
I always found it funny how the foundation doesn't consider how deadly a SCP is to be a consider termination but how immortal an SCP is.
Wassup, Skull on the roll!
But that also means that the deadlier ones could have a higher chance of getting out and would kill a lot of staff and would be a nightmare to get back in containment
Scarlet King :''has someone seen my Reptilian Son?''
SCP-173:''sweating in fear''
I now understand that the reason 682 still hasn't adopted to the acid bath is because it only adapts to lethal situations, the acid bath is nothing to 682 thus it doesn't need to adapt. After watching this video, it made me think, what if 682's adaptability is due to it being the last of it's kind, and so it makes sure to survive till the day it's babies are safe and to save it's kind. 682's lore just gets better and better
I was wondering about that since he’s suppoused to adapt to anything, but it makes sense if it can only adapt to lethal situations
ive never felt bad for 682, but now i do.
What caused 173 to begin to split? I really wish there was an explaination for that. It deserves one! There has to be a way to write one!
In that video, it was cut into pieces as well. Maybe it realized that it can split and multiply at this point..
There was it's an xk class scenario that shows the true purpose of 173 being a mockery of mankind
@@thatguyoverthere8823 what do ypu mean by mockery of mankind?
@@darthnerd4432 literally it was described like scp 173 was reproducing and doing a lot of human things like planned ambushes and war with everyone
In the wiki there's an entry about how instances of scp 173 could emerge from the reddish brown waste that whatever room scp173 is in, starts filling up with.
This may be the only time I feel bad for 682, why not just throw him into a different dimension like the one sealed in that one cave with the alternate dimension where everything was dead and death itself was rumoured to be in there. what if they opened the seal and threw in 682, quickly sealing it to make sure death will not get out.
The thing is. 682 would for sure get back, its almost impossible to stop him from that. He survived being erased from existence, and the second he is in our dimension again - Everyones dead
They tried. They tried so many different things. From absolutely disintegrating him to the atomic level, to putting him in a infinitely expanding Ikea. They even put him against the Gate Guardian, and he said that it can’t kill him yet, that it wasn’t time.
They did. It was a successful termination, but then plot armour.
If I recall, then the entrance to the death dimension was sealed, the death entity was rapidly approaching it. Opening that seal even for a moment could allow the entity through and thereby ending that world. Which is why it's not a viable solution
SCP-682 is just annoying because it´s absolutley absurd how well it can adapt to things, in one of the termination attempts it turned into some kind of undetermined type of matter to escape, it makes 0 sense, the only ways to kill it is probably by throwing it near ultra-high-gravity objects or doing the 173 test without all the plot armour.
Hearing that 682 got scared really excited me. I love this video.
In the Scp foundation it’s either “die” or “fuck up and get your memory erased and then die by an anomaly.”
Chose one.
Damn, the Statue really be killing all the unkillables
So 173 is effectively a Weeping Angel. It can't move as long as it's being observed...
Yep even regenerates similarly if smashed
Much more powerful, much faster
And SCP 682 is basically DC's Doomsday.
Probably faster than how weeping angels are depicted; and more lethal
At least it doesn't reproduce like them. Unfortunately for those in the video, it somehow self duplicates in said video.
I was a little confused about the changed appearance of 173 but then I remembered the OG artist was againt using the original design further.
Thank you for your respect and this new version of our most beloved 173 is certainly welcome to stay!!
Edit: spelling.
Wait, THAT is the original design? The other one is creepier. It’s simpler. I like it more. I thought the foundation had preformed experiments on 173 and gave it a new body or something.
@@TheSurrealist. no, the design you see SCP 173 has in the video isnt the og design. Its a new take on how 173 would look accodring to this video creator.

@@freshmadgod Imagine if you were difficult to permanently kill, and the foundation put you in an acid bath and performed tests on you in an attempt to you kill you because you were "anomalous" enough.

Maybe if he don't hate all life and try to kill everyone then they wouldn't try to
I know the foundation probably won’t do this because 173 is useful or whatever but put 173 in 682’s acid bath with people watching it. The acid will dissolve all of it and 682 can have the joy of watching it die.
the only thing protecting it is the plot armour and the writers wanting to see more of it

173 should be coated with a luminescent spray (like when you drain the two parts of glowsticks into separate bottles and mix them on a surface) before being moved, or any hazardous tests, and should be reapplied whenever it's convenient.
Very easy way to keep it visible for 15 minutes at a time regardless of power :)
096 and 999 hugging made the danger so much more impactful.
You know it's a serious threat when SCP-682 is telling telling humanity to kill it as it will destroy them.
I think they should ask - or have the sentient computer ask - if the reptile would be happy staying on a planet with no life, or if simply knowing life is out there would keep its rage going.
If it's the first one, in a none world ending scenario, the foundation could put it on Mars or something to just chill
Would it *KILL* them to just shut the damn lights in these 682 vs 173 cross tests?!
Yes
Yes it would indeed kill them
If scp 682 can adapt to basically anything, then it could have have developed a way to sense and see whats around it without using eyes so it would never have to even look at scp 173
i thought it would've adapted to the acid but maybe thats not how its biology works
173 needs to be seen to be stopped. this solution fixes nothing
If the Foundation memebers weren't dumb, they would have turned the lights off instead of trying to destroy 682's eyes
There's a story where 682 grew a bunch of eyes on its body to see 173 at all times
Ok I just realised that this is that story
173 considers it cheating if you blink with one eye at a time, so, honestly, it seems more like a game to him than actual rules, meaning he would still likely kill 173 for only 'sensing' him. This also wouldn't work because you can sense 173 when he grabs your neck to snap it, but he still obviously snaps it.
This wassuch a well-written tale, it felt so different than most other tales. The narration of the reptile brought out it's fear so well, which made this story so unique. You could feel every word. 👏
When the killer lizard points out the hypocrisy of the foundation you know you’re screwed in the head
Wow, this was abig reveal to me: 682 was right. He might be out to destroy the world, but he can be contained easily compared to almost every other being in his level and higher. Heck if the foundation actually communicated with him instead of just listening and documenting, then maybe their relationship might be at least neutral.
At this point Abel/Able probably escapes more than him
Containment class is not synonymous with danger level. The fact that SCP-682 is Keter means it is hard to contain. Other SCPs like Abel being able to break out on a spontaneous basis is usually due to more lax containment procedures. I mean seriously? "Mate, this mf tears through metal with his bare hands and can run 64 meters under 3 seconds. Let's put his containment underground with a oversized sprinkler system and oh, let's have a long ass hallway"
I mean
Maybe
If you know who 682 dad is
I like the fact out of all of this the 05 counsel probably survived. They have several procedures and contingency plans just in case a world ending event happens.
aren't they immortal anyway because of SCP-001 - dead men
Wow - this actually got me to sincerely root for freakin SCP-682. After years of being a fan, I am super impressed
Ik 682 may be a murderous indestructible beast, but I feel he’s the underdog of all the monsters. Every one of his stories almost makes you feel empathy for him and a lingering hope that he makes it out alive.
I always wonder why they don't turned the light off in the first test, no matter how many eyes, 682 wouldn't be able to see for a moment. If it adapted to night vision, throw a flash grenade in there for another short moment were it couldn't see.
Beacuse whoever writes this cant allow for 682 too die unless its not a foundation/cross testing
now i feel bad for 682. that must have been terrifying
Is there an universe where the SCP foundation does no experiments with SCP 682 or try to destroy it so badly its hatred never became so overwhelming like in the most other universes? That also should meant that SCP 682 wouldn`t be forced to do so much adaptations and frequent contaimend breaches.
Considering this is the SCP-Verse, yes. There is definitely a universe like that... Of course, a lot more things would be different like 999 becoming the spawn of Satan. (Metaphorically, meaning evil.)
Theres also that one alt/multiverse that apphered in Tokyo, and 682 was apparently cool there. Forget its number, but I know its on youtube. Something about talking cats or whatnot
Yes. It was a scp, I forgot what one it was. Lemme check
It’s scp 6001 Avalon
I don't understand the fact that severed parts of SCP-682 can reform into multiple versions of SCP-682. If SCP-682 can do that, what happens to the other instances of SCP-682? Are they invincible too? Would that cause an XK scenario?
I love the detail in 6:53 that 173 looked to the scientist before snapping back to the usual position
I seriously cannot imagine SCP 682 *SPEAKING*
From a tale I don’t remember witch Koitern slaughtered one third of 682 brothers in their true form the actual reason for this is that Koitern made a deal with the scarlet king to help him absorb all the low elder gods but scarlet king betrayed him so he decided to mirder his kids
That's metal. _Death_ Metal... B )
