VISTORBELITUNG.COM,INTERNATIONAL – In the covert world of the SCP Foundation, where bizarre and often terrifying anomalies are contained to protect humanity, one entity stands out for its overwhelmingly positive nature: SCP-999, affectionately dubbed "The Tickle Monster." Categorized as a Safe-class object, this unusual creature is perhaps the most beloved, and most therapeutic, entity currently under Foundation custody.
What is SCP-999?
SCP-999 is described as a large, amorphous, gelatinous mass of translucent orange slime. Weighing approximately 54 kg (120 lbs) and possessing a consistency similar to peanut butter, its shape constantly changes, often resembling a giant beanbag chair when at rest.
Unlike the numerous hostile anomalies the Foundation deals with, SCP-999’s temperament is unequivocally playful and dog-like. It exhibits overwhelming elation upon approach, often slithering quickly toward nearby personnel. Its primary form of interaction includes "hugging" with pseudopods, nuzzling faces, and emitting a delightful chorus of high-pitched gurgling and cooing noises.
While its present behavior is purely benevolent, the purported origin of SCP-999 adds a layer of cosmic complexity to its background.
According to certain Foundation lore (specifically related to a highly classified SCP-001 proposal), SCP-999 is hypothesized to be the offspring of The Scarlet King, a multi-dimensional, apocalyptic deity of immense power and malevolence. If this terrifying lineage is true, SCP-999 represents a shocking contrast to its supposed parent, embodying selfless good and joy instead of destruction.
Its existence is often seen as a potential counter-force against immense, world-ending threats, with some tales even suggesting its power of pure happiness could, one day, neutralize its powerful and destructive kin.
SCP-999’s anomalous properties are centered entirely around emotional manipulation and physical well-being. Its abilities include,
Instant Euphoria and Mood Enhancement: Simply touching SCP-999's surface causes an immediate, mild euphoria in a person. This feeling intensifies with prolonged exposure and lasts even after separation from the creature..
The Cure for Mental Illness: The creature has shown a remarkable ability to target and interact with individuals suffering from deep emotional distress. Personnel with documented cases of crippling depression or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have reported a far more positive and long-lasting outlook on life after multiple interactions with SCP-999, often resulting in complete remission of symptoms.
Sensory Manipulation: The surface of the slime emits a pleasant odor that mysteriously differs based on the individual it is interacting with. Recorded scents include chocolate, fresh laundry, bacon, roses, and even Play-Doh™.
Elasticity and Shapeshifting: SCP-999 can effortlessly change its size and shape, flattening portions of its body and molding itself to its environment or the person it is engaging with.
Selfless Nature: The entity shows affection towards all life forms, particularly humans. It refuses to eat meat and has been documented to even risk its life to shield Foundation personnel from harm
Its favorite activity? "Tickle-wrn by completely enveloping a person from the neck down and tickling them until asked to stop.
Classified as Safe, SCP-999 is contained in a large, clean room, allowing it freedom to roam. Given its ability to cure severe mental health issues, it is often utilized by the Foundation for therapeutic purposes and as a morale-booster for personnel working under high-stress conditions.
Its wholesome and cooperative nature stands as a testament that not all The Tickle Monster' SCP-999: The Cutest Anomaly That Can Heal Deep Depression strange are necessarily dangerous. SCP-999, the lovable Tickle Monster, remains one of the Foundation’s most valued (and adorable) assets in the ongoing missionary to Secure, Contain, and Protect.
