Left to right, SCP-0000-B, -C, & -F upon initial discovery.
Item #: SCP-0000
Object Class: Safe Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-0000 are allowed to freely roam Site-██, so long as they are confined in their containment cells during breach or lockdown events, or during their designated feeding time. Instances are to each be fed one (1) 1.75oz bag of Doritos-brand Tortilla Chips of Nacho Cheese flavor variety once per day. Due to their non-violent and cooperative tendencies, no further containment procedures are required.
North-east Entrance of ██████ Plant.
The entirety of Site-██ has been constructed within a 2km vicinity of the ██████ Plant, owned & operated by the Frito-Lay company. Site-██ has received appropriate permissions from O5-Command and Frito-Lay to acquire any amount and/or variety of product from the ██████ Plant, so long as it is necessary for the containment of SCP-0000. Under no circumstances can any product acquired from the ██████ Plant be consumed by Site-██ personnel, nor can it be used as a substitution for any food shortages in the on-site Cafeteria.
Instances of SCP-0000 are stored in a High Security, 8m x 8m x 3m Containment Chamber, fitted with one security keypad. The chamber walls are to be reinforced with 5cm Tungsten lining. The chamber is to be furnished with seven (7) cushioned beds for sleeping, and access to a 4m deep saltwater pool that is kept at a constant temperature of 10° C at all times. A 1000kg capacity container, connected directly to a gravity feeder, is to be stocked with Doritos-brand Tortilla Chips, of Nacho Cheese flavor variety, provided by the ██████ Plant. The container’s contents is to never be below 50% of its maximum capacity. Access to the feed is to be unobstructed at all times. The chamber is to be monitored at all times by on-site personnel to ensure that access to feed is unobstructed.
In the event that access to feed is obstructed, or the container is to run out of feed, Site-██ is to observe Event Protocol #0000-100. All non-essential personnel are to be evacuated from the facility immediately, and the ██████ Plant will be notified and subsequently provide all of its on-hand product in a time-sensitive manner to the Site. The product is to be transferred to the Site and loaded into the feed container, as well as the secondary 1000kg panic container that is connected directly to the gravity feeder to double the available feed. All ██████ Plant employees will be subsequently administered amnestics, and their digital inventory system is to be modified such that the lack of product is innocuous. The process should take no less than thirty (30) minutes to prevent instances of SCP-0000 from being without feed for more than thirty (30) minutes.
Description: SCP-0000 is the collective designation for seven (7) male Giant Isopods most closely resembling the species Bathynomus giganteus, designated as SCP-0000-A through -G. Instances of SCP-0000 are able to persist on-land and without access to water for an indefinite amount of time, and remain in perfect health, although instances appear to prefer being submerged when not feeding. Instances of SCP-0000 cannot be destroyed, nor can they be displaced temporally, interdimensionally, and/or extradimensionally, as they will subsequently reappear wherever they have the most convenient access to feed relevant to their pre-displaced location. Instances of SCP-0000 have been in Foundation possession since 2001, and have shown no signs of aging. Instances are physiologically identical to Giant Isopods aged three (3) to four (4) years.
In their non-agitated state, instances of SCP-0000 are mostly docile, but will occasionally attempt to interact playfully with human subjects. Instances are observed to sleep for an amount of time no less than four (4) hours per day, and no more than sixteen (16) hours. Instances of SCP-0000 display the anomalous property of thriving on a diet that consists exclusively of Doritos-brand Tortilla Chips, of Nacho Cheese flavor variety, produced by the Frito-Lay company. Instances will refuse any other form of subsistence, including that which is consistent with the diet of naturally occuring isopods, chips that are not produced by the Frito-Lay company, and even Doritos-brand Tortilla Chips that are not of the Nacho Cheese flavor variety. Instances have not been observed to produce excrement. Forceful ingestion of anything other than Nacho Cheese Doritos results in [REDACTED].
Instances of SCP-0000, when without access to feed for a period of time greater than approximately forty (40) minutes, will enter an agitated state. Once agitated, SCP-0000 instances begin to expand in size by a process that appears biologically similar to cellular mitosis, only at a rate that is anomalous in nature. Agitated instances of SCP-0000 have been observed to double their initial body mass within seconds. This rate of expansion is not constant while agitated, and tends to slow down once instances are approximately 800% of their initial size, but have not been observed to ultimately stop expanding.
Agitated instances of SCP-0000 will attempt to locate and consume more Nacho Cheese Doritos by any means necessary. Agitated instances have been observed to use their pincers to pierce and insert cavities in solid Tungsten as a means of escaping captivity, and are capable of using their immense body-mass and invulnerable exoskeleton to knock down walls and buildings with relative ease. Agitated instances do not appear to become hostile, and all human casualties caused by them are generally inadvertent trampling. Instances of SCP-0000 possess an innate ability to sense the nearest location of Nacho Cheese Doritos, and are observed to always take the most “optimal” route. All attempts to recontain SCP-0000 in this state are futile without simply providing it with more Nacho Cheese Doritos, which at that point, the instance will rapidly reduce its size back to its initial size, and become docile.
As instances increase in size, their capacity to consume Doritos increases as well. Due to this, it becomes increasingly difficult to provide agitated instances of SCP-0000 with a satisfactory amount of Nacho Cheese Doritos. Due to this, the Foundation has prioritized the acquisition of satisfactory amounts of Nacho Cheese Doritos to Site-██, as all attempts to destroy or displace SCP-0000 have failed.
Addendum: Instances of SCP-0000 are, with time, requiring larger amounts of Doritos to remain docile. Instances are currently observed to consume nearly 250kg of feed daily, which at $0.30 per oz, costs the Foundation nearly $18,500.00 USD per day. The Foundation is currently working with Frito-Lay to further reduce their costs.
Update ██/██/20██: Due to a packaging error at the ██████ Plant, an instance of SCP-0000 was able to consume a single Doritos-brand Tortilla Chip of Cool Ranch flavor variety, and is no longer consuming Nacho Cheese flavor variety. Current Containment Procedures are being revised.

SCP-4092 upon initial discovery.
Item #: SCP-4092
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Due to its constantly growing size, SCP-4092 has been deemed uncontainable. The perimeter of SCP-4092 is surrounded by a 2m thick concrete wall, in the guise of a border checkpoint. Once the object grows large enough to consume any wall of the structure, a new structure is to be built around the pre-existing one. The area around the structure is to be patrolled by Foundation personnel disguised as ICE patrolmen at all times, to deter civilians from approaching. Entry into the structure is strictly forbidden to all persons.
SCP-4092 is expected to expand to a size that could compromise public safety by 20██, and new containment procedures will be implemented. More information can be read in Document #4092-8C
Description: SCP-4092 appears to be a large, low-lying cloud, similar to fog, that rests along the Chihuahua Mexico / Texas U.S.A border. The fog is able to persist regardless of weather conditions in the area, and is resistant to anti-fog agents. When first discovered to have anomalous effects, SCP-4092 was roughly 186km in diameter, but has since grown to 416km.
SCP-4092 approaching 4092 Site-5.
SCP-4092 is constantly expanding at a rate of 45km per year (approximately 5.1m per hour). Its expansion speed increases whenever organic or non-organic compounds & substances are consumed by it. Objects that enter SCP-4092 are unable to exit, and electronic devices that enter a 3m vicinity of the fog will either lose power altogether, or not function as intended. This has made it impossible for the Foundation to send devices inside SCP-4092 for testing. Despite Foundation efforts, it is currently not understood whether or not the fog traps, displaces, or destroys objects. It is worth noting that SCP-605 displays similar traits, but nothing confirms any relation between it and SCP-4092.
The following tests were performed on SCP-4092 in attempt to determine how its size can be reduced, or destroyed entirely.
Test #: 4092-001
Date: ██/██/████
Description: Compressed air of varying temperatures was blown into SCP-4092, to see if the “smoke” could be cleared. No results.
Test #: 4092-002
Date: ██/██/████
Description: Test Subject D-4092-002 was attached to a 6m cable to act as a tether. Moments upon entering SCP-4092, the tether became stuck, as if D-4092-002 became rooted to the ground. Continuing to pull on the tether to retrieve D-4092-002 caused the cable to snap. D-4092-002 did not return.
Test #: 4092-004
Date: ██/██/████
Description: Test Subject D-4092-003 was attached to a 6m reinforced graphene wire cable to act as a tether. D-4092-003 was asked to enter briefly and then return. D-4092-003 successfully exited the fog, stating that there was a feeling of “pulling.” Subject also noted a sudden feeling of anxiety attributed to claustrophobia upon entering. Subject has not reported any prior claustrophobia before testing. Upon re-entering to test the safe distance within SCP-4092, D-4092-003 became consumed after walking 3m in. The wire became stuck, and continued pulling caused it to snap.
Test #: 4092-007
Date: ██/██/████
Description: Various anti-fog agents were tested, including various detergents and soaps, hydrophilic polymers and hydrogels, colloids and titanium dioxide, as well as highly radioactive [REDACTED]. No results.
Fog harvesters, installed along the perimeter of SCP-4092, being consumed following Test #4092-10.
Test #: 4092-10
Date: ██/██/████
Description: Fog harvesting systems were installed near SCP-4092. Before they were consumed, analysis revealed that SCP-4092 did not produce any water.
Test #: 4092-0013
Date: ██/██/████
Description: An instance of SCP-4092 was captured inside a container for testing the material in smaller quantities in a nearby testing facility. Instance has been designated as SCP-4092-1. Instance began to expand outside of container. At the time of writing, SCP-4092-1 has merged with the original SCP-4092, and the testing facility has been entirely consumed.
Test #: 4092-0019
Date: ██/██/████
Description: SCP-███ was transported to 4092 Site. SCP-███ was ordered to [DATA EXPUNGED]. No results.
Test #: 4092-026
Date: ██/██/████
Description: A bombing aircraft was flown over SCP-4092 and released over 50 high caliber air-to-ground explosives into the fog. Before the aircraft could return, it suddenly lost control and fell into fog, despite being well outside the 3m vicinity of SCP-4092 where electronic devices cease functionality. Aircraft impact had no affect on SCP-4092.
Test #: 4092-031
Date: ██/██/████
Description: An autonomous vehicle mounted with a 50 Mt hydrogen bomb was driven inside SCP-4092 and set to detonate once 5m in. Upon detonation, no visible results. The sound of the explosion was muffled and barely noticeable by testing personnel.
Test #: 4092-047
Date: ██/██/████
Description: An autonomous vehicle was mounted with █ hydrogen bombs of immeasurable megatons that were ‘enhanced’ using SCP-███ before the test. Despite a much louder impact, there was still no visible results.
Test #: 4092-052
Date: ██/██/████
Description: SCP-4092 was ██████████ with highly experimental █████████ ██████ over the course of ██ weeks. An estimated ██ personnel were killed and over █ reported missing. After ██████████ the fog ████████ ███ ███████, resulting in the area becoming highly ████████ within at least ███m of SCP-4092. Massive damage done to 4092 Site-█ could not be repaired before the fog reached its perimeter. All testing apparatus has been left behind to be consumed by SCP-4092, as retrieval of ████████████ could be costly.
Note from Dr. █████: SCP-4092 cannot be destroyed.
SCP-4092 was discovered after a mass-disappearance of over 500 civilians in the city of ███████, Mexico. After multiple local detectives were reported missing while investigating the disappearance, the Foundation was contacted. By the time personnel had arrived, SCP-4092 had consumed the entire city, and was rapidly approaching the Mexico / US border. A makeshift border checkpoint was constructed to re-route traffic and prevent the public from approaching the fog.
SCP-4092 has consumed nearly 23 cities and is responsible for over ████ civilian disappearances. At its current rate of expansion, SCP-4092 is expected to reach Laredo, Texas by 20██. The Foundation is currently prioritizing the evacuation of nearby cities, reducing structures and earth formations surrounding the fog, and suppressing public awareness of it.

Should the Foundation be unable to determine a method of destroying or containing SCP-4092 by the time it reaches a critical mass of 520km, 3 4092 Protocols have been proposed. Of the 3 propositions, 4092-C has been chosen by 2/3rds approval by O5 Command. Protocol 4092-A proposed that human installations be constructed above SCP-4092, but testing has proven that SCP-4092 is vertically expanding, only not as fast. It is also impossible to determine if supportive structures will be able to rise through SCP-4092 without being destroyed. Protocol 4092-B proposed that human installations be moved underground/underwater, but testing has proven that SCP-4092 persists through solid and liquid matter, and was found be expanding through cave systems underneath it.
The Foundation is willing to adopt a new Protocol if major developments in science and technology warrant one. Currently, Protocol 4092-C is the only possible option with current resources, albeit considerably resource-intensive and extreme. Development is ongoing. Personnel with sufficient security credentials can also read the following document, describing Protocol 4092-C.
PROTOCOL 4092-C
Proposed by Dr. ███████
Approved by 2/3rds Vote of O5 Command
SCP-4092 is expected to reach a critical mass of 520km by 20██, and begin to consume the major city of Laredo, Texas. The following steps are to initiated immediately:
- The Foundation will begin the construction of 10,000 Beta Specification Transport Spacecraft with a capacity for 10,000 human passengers per load. Spacecraft will be stored and launched from Site-93 in Ontario, Canada.
- The Foundation will begin the construction of the first Lunar Colony, which is to be completed before the complete consumption of Texas.
- Once SCP-4092 has reached 530km in diameter, the city of Laredo is to be evacuated. Local and international news outlets are to be provided with a cover story that describes the city being struck by a dust storm and Magnitude 9.0 Earthquake.
- Before SCP-4092 has reached 750km in diameter, any cities spanning from Laredo to San Antonio are to be evacuated. Local and international news outlets are to be provided with a cover story that describes a large seismic event similar to an Earthquake, only much more powerful, paired with a dust storm to explain the appearance of SCP-4092.
- Before SCP-4092 reaches 1,100km in diameter, the entire state of Texas will be evacuated. By this point, the Foundation will work with the world governments to prevent any news coverage of the event.
- By the time SCP-4092 reaches 1,500km, the Foundation is to release a global emergency alert and prepare the population for the evacuation of Earth.
- O5 Command will determine which SCPs are to be transported to the Moon for continued containment, and which SCPs to leave behind and be consumed by SCP-4092. SCPs are to be transported to a Lunar Foundation Site before the civilians to arrive, to ensure proper containment procedures have been established.
- The transportation will begin, and the population of Earth with be transported to the Moon.
The Foundation will prioritize the destruction of SCP-4092 while residing on the Moon. Once a method of destroying SCP-4092 is determined, it will be carried out by any means necessary. Once SCP-4092 is destroyed, the Foundation will begin transferring civilians back to Earth. Once returned, civilians will be administered Class F amnestics.
Addendum: Dr. █████ has requested to O5 Command that SCP-4092 be used as a method of destroying other "indestructible" SCPs and reclassifying SCP-4092 as Thaumiel. Access denied. Allowing objects to be consumed by SCP-4092 increases the speed of its expansion, and it has yet to be confirmed whether or not objects consumed by SCP-4092 are actually destroyed, or simply trapped within the fog or displaced elsewhere.

SCP-████-A, with its power supply disconnected and monitor disabled.
Item #: SCP-████
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Reference of SCP-████ either verbally or through electronic devices is strictly prohibited. One instance of SCP-████ is contained in a Legacy Windows computer (SCP-████-A) which has been stored in a standard containment cell, fitted with one security keypad. SCP-████-A cannot be connected to the internet under any circumstance; it’s NIC Card has been removed from the motherboard and stored in a separate storage locker adjacent to SCP-████-A’s containment cell. All Foundation Workstation Computers within 50m of the Containment Cell are to operate using wired Ethernet connections only, as the usage of a wireless network connection could allow for SCP-████ to breach containment.
Connecting external devices to SCP-████-A for any reason is prohibited without a request approved by O5 Command. Should an external device be connected, its access to the internet must be removed to prevent spreading of SCP-████ via the internet. SCP-████-A does not require a power supply to operate, and all attempts to turn it off have failed.
Protocol 4600-C has been devised in the event of a containment breach, which involves a “counter-virus” to spread via Internet Service Providers with the goal of
- Destroying instances of SCP-████ on non-Foundation computer systems & networks remotely and with the use of MTF-Division “Minesweepers” to destroy physical infected systems.
- Releasing a digital amnestic that involves specific and complex light/color patterns on all computer systems
At the time of writing, Protocol 4600-C has been engaged █ times.
Description: SCP-████ is a computer virus that is spread via reference of its existence on a computer or cellular device. Analysis of the code reveals no anomalous properties, and its ability to detect any references of itself are currently not understood.
Things that are considered “references” to SCP-████:
- The name of the original virus, [DATA EXPUNGED] written as text, spoken as audio, or in an image file on any computer system.
- The SCP designation of the virus written as text, spoken as audio, or in an image file on any computer system.
- Photographs of the virus’s effects on a computer system.
- Any portion of the virus code copied directly from the malware file.
- Images of the virus’s file or code.
- Social media posts or images generated by SCP-████.
Things that are not considered “references” to SCP-████:
- Spoken word of the name of the virus. See Addendum.
- Spoken word of the SCP designation of the virus.
- Photographs of SCP-████-A when the monitor is turned off.
Computers that are infected by SCP-████ will, in most cases, result in all local files becoming corrupted. Files corrupted by SCP-████ are overwritten in such a manner that recovering them without a backup is impossible. Any remaining space on the computer system is replaced with copies of SCP-████. Attempting to delete SCP-████ will always result in an error message that is always random unicode text.
SCP-████ will also spread to any devices connected to the computer it has infected, which makes using an external tool to remove the virus even more dangerous. At the time of writing, the only way to prevent the virus from spreading is to disconnect the device from the internet and to destroy the device via incineration.
On rare instances, SCP-████ will publicly release computer files on systems it has corrupted using social media profiles. See Incident Reports #████-002 & #████-005.
Incident Report #████-002
Date: ██/██/████
Instances Generated: 11,832
Re-Containment: Successful
Incident: Instance of SCP-████ was generated through an IRC text forum. The user responsible for the original post was located and taken in by Foundation personnel for questioning. Nearly 12,000 computer systems were affected in under 15 minutes. During the infestation, a Twitter account with the handle [REDACTED] (designated as SCP-████-B1) was created and posted 1,███ photographs of minors from ages 3 to 12 y/o in sexually explicit situations. Tracing the account created lead to the computer of ████████ █████████, a 46-year-old Caucasian male who was already under investigation for charges of sexual assault on a minor. After Protocol 4600-C was initiated, the Twitter profile was seized by the Foundation, and ████████ █████████ was incarcerated.
Note from Dr. ███████: The virus was capable of exposing a criminal by leaking his private files. Seeing these results is making me wonder if SCP-████ posses some form of content filter and is a force for good? Possibly sentient? I am thinking we should be looking into this. We might actually be able to use this.
Incident Report #████-005
Date: ██/██/████
Instances Generated: 6,872
Re-Containment: Successful
Incident: Instance of SCP-████ was generated during unapproved testing of an external device on SCP-████-A. The personnel involved in the test have been terminated. SCP-████ spread to all computer systems in Site-12, as well as over 5,000 systems outside of the Foundation. During the infestation, a Facebook user with the name [REDACTED] (designated as SCP-████-B2) was created and posted documents for 17 Euclid & Keter class SCP Objects, as well as 3 other operational Foundation documents. The Foundation swiftly seized the Facebook account and initiated Protocol 4600-C. The Foundation was successful in tracking down and destroying all leaked SCP documents.
Note from Dr. ███████: Please disregard anything I may have said about this being useful.
Initial Discovery: The original instance of SCP-████, stored on SCP-████-A, was recovered after it was used to breach student records at the University of [REDACTED], Massachusetts. The virus was written by a student with the original intention of modifying his test scores. The infectious behaviors of SCP-████ were not intentional, and how the virus developed these traits are not understood by either the Foundation or the original creator of the virus. SCP-████ was able to infect the entire campus's computer systems as well as nearly 18,000 nearby civilian systems. The Foundation was contacted and swiftly took action to administer airborne Class B amnestics to the area effected and nullify the virus's spread. Following this, the creator of the virus was administered Class C amnestics, and SCP-████-A was transported to Site-12.
Addendum: Research is ongoing as to the effects of speaking aloud the name of the SCP-████ virus. The virus was able to spread to a nearby computer system after speaking the name aloud during Incident #████-003, but further testing of this phenomenon did not produce the same results. Until further notice, speaking the name aloud is prohibited.

Item #: SCP-4437
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: The entrance to SCP-4437 is blocked by a Foundation installment disguised as a construction area, and oncoming traffic is re-routed to Interstate ██. Foundation personnel are to patrol the area and guard the entrance at all times to prevent civilians from entering the tunnel. As the point of entry is the only way to access SCP-4437, no other containment procedures are required.
Description: SCP-4437 is a spatial phenomenon occurring at Exit █ on Interstate ██. The physical structure of the tunnel does not actually lead anywhere, and appears to end approximately 20 m in. Viewing the tunnel from the outside is not effective, as it is pitch-black after approximately 5 m. Once inside the tunnel however, the other end becomes visible, and is measured to be 50 m from the tunnel entrance.
On the other end of the tunnel is a highway, designated as SCP-4437-A. Testing has been unable to determine the length of the highway. The area surrounding the highway is not consistent with the area surrounding the tunnel, and GPS has been unsuccessful in determining the actual location of the highway. The sky within SCP-4437-A appears to be perpetually dark, regardless of the actual time of day, and the moon is not visible.
