  • SCP 682 is a Keter Class anomaly also known as Hard to Destroy Reptile.
    SCP 173 is a Euclid Class anomaly also known as The Sculpture.
    SCP-682 is a large, vaguely reptile-like creature of unknown origin. It appears to be extremely intelligent, and was observed to engage in complex communication with SCP 079 during their limited time of exposure. SCP682 appears to have a hatred of all life, which has been expressed in several interviews during containment.
    SCP-173 is constructed from concrete and rebar with traces of Krylon brand spray paint. SCP173 is animate and extremely hostile. The object cannot move while within a direct line of sight. Line of sight must not be broken at any time with SCP-173. Personnel assigned to enter container are instructed to alert one another before blinking. Object is reported to attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull, or by strangulation.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

      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).

      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.

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.)

      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?

      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 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.
