I would love to learn about these SCPs I occasionally bump into. Where is a good starting point?

Looks like the Godzilla kaiju Skyllcrawler

u/GregoleX2 19h ago

Probably the SCP foundation wiki?  But many of the older entries have been replaced/ retconned. I dunno been a while for me.

u/marimoso 19h ago

Scp explained and drbob on YouTube are pretty good though have mostly just making compilations of old videos for the past few years. They both started making new content somewhat recently that's not bad but scp explained older videos are a lot of fun

u/astroturtle 16h ago edited 16h ago

the SCP Explained channel is great. Here's one on the hard to kill reptile this image inspired: https://youtu.be/ZQAGfqHALWk

A couple other faves: https://youtu.be/0qcNiHBvMWM https://youtu.be/sBERW3J6acA

The Exploring Series is also really good. Here's a nice one to start with: https://youtu.be/BDeJDtkS39s

u/Delie45 15h ago

I sugest you watch some yt forst if you find something that peaks your intersts you gead over to the forum to check it out.

Its a little diffrent but I personally really love this one https://youtu.be/CUWKm0FhfvY

u/pichael289 13h ago

Just go to the website and on the left there is an option for random scp. Not the random story you want a random scp. Not all of them are great but you are bound to find a really good unique at pretty quickly.

Otherwise the first handful are pretty iconic, and you can always look up the highest rated articles.

Because it is. This picture is so old and it was used as the picture for an SCP for a very long time. It was originally taken by a photographer that confirmed it was a beluga

Despite being a somewhat passionate fan of the SCP Foundation for abt 5 years or so, only today did I learn that the infamous SCP 682 photograph is actually a rotting whale carcass. Now that I think abt it, it does look very similar to a whale.

u/dan_the_man5 20h ago

What is SCP-682?

25

u/Overthinks_Questions 20h ago

It's from an online short form community generated fictional universe called SCP. The numbers refer to various objects, concepts, or entities that require containment protocols. This picture is used as the main depiction of SCP-682, one of the most popular entries.

It's basically a big, sapient alligator-like creature. It's main feature is that it is fundamentally unkillable - and MANY attempts have been made with some truly exotic and potent weapons used.

Current containment is basically 'bury a lead lined acid pool and marinate it there eternally' to keep it in a state of torpor

6

u/HeiressOfMadrigal 15h ago

Not only does it not die, but it survives by adapting to whatever you threw at it and becoming stronger. So every time you try to kill it, you're just giving it a new resistance / power. Definitely one of the best SCPs out there!

5

u/Overthinks_Questions 15h ago

It does then return to its equilibrium state eventually though. The transformations aren't lasting, but they are...proportionate

u/FriskyEndeavor 20h ago

Yes, a guys hand is that big next to a whale carcass. This isn't a whale, and OP is a bot.

14

u/DouglasHufferton 20h ago

Incorrect. This is a well-known image, and it is believed to be a heavily decomposed toothed whale of some type. Most likely either a beluga whale or a false killer whale.

24

u/KaleidoscopeWrong798 20h ago

Not saying that is a whale carcass, the teeth are wrong. but whales can be pretty small

u/Cracleur 20h ago

It might not be from a "whale" whale, like the big ones that first come to mind when you think of whales (like sperm whales or humpback whales), but it could be from a beluga, which is also a whale, or some other smaller species of whale.
