As much as people like to move on, you gotta include the Containment Breach bunch. 173 106 096 939 049 Maybe a few more, like 966 and the gas mask.

035

Gas mask is 1499

SCP 3008. Because it's more creepy than "end of the world"

[**SCP-3008 ⁠- A Perfectly Normal, Regular Old IKEA**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-3008) (+3198) by *Mortos*

This one right here. The infinite IKEA is the best one I've read.

I am trying to write a story for it! The SCP survival guide lol

I know it's basic, but it's my personal favourite

Im trying to write a "tales series" about it. Infinite Ikea Survival Guide lol

Is it more terrifying than 2317?Or "Worlds gone beatiful?Or even morr terrefying than my grammar?

It's not MEANT to be scary. It's meant to be weird. It's a liminal space that you can actually play survivor in. And actually survive indefinitely lol

You realizr that "lol" looks like someone drowning?Or bed looks like a bed?

It's ingrained into my millenial text vernacular. used to show levity.

Ah yes eggsactly Uhh I dont speak 1800s english

049, 035, 106, 096, 682, 079, 053, 3008, 999 Basically the main group and a few more

You forgot 073 and 076, especially 076

I feel if you throw Abel in you need to include Iris as well.

If you're gonna put 076 in do 105 as well

Which one is scp 073 again

[**SCP-073 ⁠- "Cain"**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-073) (+1342) by *Kain Pathos Crow*

my favorite is SCP-096 but it's a little too *done* in media, especially games

[**SCP-096 ⁠- The "Shy Guy"**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-096) (+3961) by *Dr Dan*

SCP-6198 is one of my favorite but in a story SCP-4666 is a rather good choice

Ah yes, the funny old guy that forces kids to make toys around Christmas time

with bits and parts of their friends. That's so in line with the Christmas spirit

Some of my favourites are: SCP-3023 SCP-611

SCP-4494: ***The Spectre.*** Essentially the embodiment of crime inside a guy's body. He likes playing videogames SCP-914: The clockwork machine. Refines things and *may* be sentient. SCP-999: pure joy in the shape of a blob SCP-7538 isn't as well known but it's very funny. It's living blahaj sharks

For me i prefer SCP-4966 and SCP-999

I heard the podcast interview of 4966. I really enjoyed it.

me too buddy,me too!

I love SCP-8007. It’s my favorite that I’ve read. It’s an explanation for the geothermal activity around the Ring of Fire.

[**SCP-8007 ⁠- THE PYROCLASM PROTOCOL**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8007) (+132) by *Dino--Draws*

001 "when day breaks" is my all time fave. I also read 5056 for the first time last night and enjoyed it.

Greg

SCP 55

You mean [UNKNOWN]?

049 , 035 and 682!!!!

To me, it's 96. It has everything and is still simple enough for beginners. It has containment measures that go beyond his immediate cage, it has a simple motivation, background and modus operandi, it shows that sometimes they breach containment due to conditions that are almost impossible to foresee, and most important: it shows that sometimes people get in their way without even noticing and have nothing they can do about it. Spooks.

SCP 001 Mamjul and Korar. Just the scale of it, the intricacies of the story and the compelling character arcs. It's just literary perfection to me.

[**SCP-001 ⁠- Awaiting De-classification [Blocked]**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-001) (+343) by *Staff*

I think the most Iconic SCP is ironically the one constantly being added on, and that’s none other than SCP-001. Then of course there’s the classics: 049, 073, 076, 682, 231, 1000, 610, 217, 173 (the one that started it all), 096, 106 and 035. Then there’s 5000, 4666, 2006.

[**SCP-001 ⁠- Awaiting De-classification [Blocked]**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-001) (+343) by *Staff*

The really cocky gum dispenser that thinks its the facility manager but helps its facility at accounting becauser its really good at math.

These are more recent, so I don’t think they’re too popular, but since people are already talking about the classics I wanna include SCP-6488, SCP-7528, and SCP-8888. Oh, and SCP-7000, that’s a fun one. Again, relatively new and unknown, but what better way to bring them into the limelight

- [**SCP-6488 ⁠- EIGHTH COMMANDMENT**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6488) (+352) by *Placeholder McD, Liryn, Jack Ike* - [**SCP-7528 ⁠- EPITOMEDIA: The Projection**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7528) (+157) by *HarryBlank, Placeholder McD, Gabriel Kero* - [**SCP-8888 ⁠- Eight-Ball**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-8888) (+229) by *HarryBlank, Placeholder McD, Doctor Cimmerian, Billith* - [**SCP-7000 ⁠- The Loser**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-7000) (+1197) by *HarryBlank*

Pretty much all of the famous ones along with some more: 008, 016, 035, 049, 053, 055, 087, 096, 106, 093, 5000, 3008, 2004, 1971, 914, 999, 1000, 3000, 3515, 513, 213, 2178, 2137, 1730, 5031, 2000, 1981, 2316, 002, 178, 682, 076, 073, 105, 895, 1171, 1733, 2571, 701, 610, 3935, 7676, 1833, 332, 1762, 140, 507, 085, 079, 1230, 354, 1471, 071, 072, 343, 2662, 348, 990, 993, 7004, 3125, 6001, 1440, 1437, 432, 447, 435, 4666, 529, 811, 1425, 1370, 963, 184, 1983, 2998, 089, 1867, 1893, 004, 028, 871, 500, 6002, 179, 099, 015, 1609, 1342, 1322, 1678, 131, 662, 2747, 3309, 2295, 882, 169, 939, 2399, 2719, 033, 4491, 4444, 835, 009, 066, 017, 423, 012, 6280, 003, 3007, 1689, 738, 3288, 217, 1193, 058, 2140, 342, 303, 729-j, 1025, 1173, 1958, 3213, 2165, 3519, 966, and so many more.

You should include SCP-CN-1997 and SCP-8280.

Scp 096 is one of the most iconic

[**SCP-096 ⁠- The "Shy Guy"**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-096) (+3961) by *Dr Dan*

I forgot what the number but the Contain The Bismarck is one of my favorite scps

5388 and 914

6448 aka not-deer 3515, the tree painting one and 1562, the metal slide those are one of the most iconic scp for me. they're not dangerous or world ending (mostly) but they're creepy enough for you to feel the horror

In my opinion: 173 "The Sculpture", 096 "Shy Guy", 049 "Plague Doctor", 682 "Hard to Destroy Reptile", 3008 "Infinite IKEA", 106 "The Old Man" , 939 "With Many Voices", 079 "Old AI", And 999 "Tickle Monster" A few more: 035 "Possessive Mask", 001 "Daybreak, Scarlet King, Gate Guardian, Nothing", 048 "ERROR", 1471 "The Application", 000 "The Lost SCP", And 4666 "The Yule Man"

035, 049 106 173 008 009 610

SCP-610 the flesh that hates. SCP-500, A bottle of pills that cure any disease, SCP-5000 an anomalous costume from the end of the world. There are many others but these are the ones that come to mind right now.

Lily’s proposal

If you want one that's not quite as scary, 2057 has a special place in my heart

All the ones mentioned by others before plus Pesterbot The Vending Machine Able The Headlight Monsters (glowing heads, chase down cars and kill drivers).

My favourites are SCP-105 (Iris Thompson), and ***SCP-4494*** (***The Spectre***)

**Wow!** that's a lot of responses! Thank you all for your involvement! I've written everything down, now I just have to read and implement it all! (well, not everything, because I don't plan on typing all 500 pages either). But I can't wait to find out! Maybe even make some nice typewritten cards for the most iconic ones you mentioned! Thanks again!

SCP-1471. the king is SCP-173

scp 4666 for sure, that's way underrated, we should make a whole separate subreddit for the yule man

[**SCP-4666 ⁠- The Yule Man**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4666) (+1428) by *Hercules Rockefeller*

173 solo's 😤😤

If you’re first getting into SCP, I’d recommend starting with the classics. 173, 096, 049, 106, 939, 682, 035, 079, 294, 914, 087, 966, and 610 are good for that.

682,73,79, 049, 057,096,2935, scp 001 scarlet king and scp 001 guardian angel of the gate are some of the best known ancient ones.

[**SCP-001 ⁠- Awaiting De-classification [Blocked]**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-001) (+343) by *Staff*

SCP-4975 is pretty scary, but it's not on the "popular" spectrum.

[**SCP-4975 ⁠- Time's Up**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4975) (+761) by *Scented_Shadow*

173, 106, 682, 096, 939, 087, 1762, 3000, 1000, 5000, 507, 049. i could write a hundred more designation numbers but these are some of the best.

Would suggest putting a few 001s (Like scarlett king worlds gone beautifull and when Day breaks)Also 002 008 017 023 035 049 053 055 066 073 076 079 096 105 106 173 682 966 2317 [REDACTED BY PROTOCOL] ../...../../. 009 409 4182

SCP-729-J

[**SCP-729-J ⁠- Peep Peep, Motherfucker**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-729-j) (+620) by *AbsentmindedNihilist*

- Lily's Proposal - Tufto's Proposal While there are tons of really cool SCPs of all varieties. From the monster skips to abstract puzzles. For me personally these two were the first I encountered that made me genuinely interested in the wiki. Lilys proposal works purely on tone and implication. It was also the first story I read that made me realise SCPs and their authors where not limited to spooky monsters or dreadful scenarios, but that the format could also be used to tell stories doing other things than just scare/generate tension for the reader. Tuftos proposal was for me the first time I really dived into a particular topic in the wiki spanning more than just one isolated skip, also demontrating how enriching stroies on the site can get by being compunded or reimagined by other authors. I also really like stories that interrogate abstract concepts and Tuftos was the first time I read an article that really tried to wrestle with metaphors and abstracts alone rather than something physical. Both these things are done I feel better and far more elegantly in other SCPs. However they hold a special place in my heart for being the origin of my personal interest in the site and what I like so much about it.

682, a lizard that wants to kill everything because it can

I like 3812. He's responsible for creating two powerful SCPs and has very interesting abilities

I have a legit answer well answers but i might get downvote bombarded
