SCP-999: The Tickle Monster
Known as “The Tickle Monster,” this lovable, orange blob of slime is the Foundation’s ultimate source of hope. He is not a monster to be feared, but a friend to be cherished—the only thing in the world that can cure a broken heart and, perhaps, defeat the greatest evil in existence.
1. Morphology: The Orange Ray of Sunshine
SCP-999 is a translucent, gelatinous mass weighing approximately 54 kilograms. Its texture is similar to peanut butter or jelly, and it is capable of changing its shape at will.
Its most magical trait is its Scent . Every person who smells SCP-999 reports a different fragrance—the one that triggers their happiest memories. For some, it is fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies; for others, it is clean laundry or a summer rain. SCP-999 is a living signal of pure, unadulterated joy.
2. The Ultimate Healer: The Power of the Hug
SCP-999’s primary goal in life is to play and to love. When it sees an animal or a human, it will slide toward them with the excitement of a puppy and begin its famous “Tickle Attack.”
Anyone touched by SCP-999 is instantly flooded with an intense feeling of euphoria. It has been proven to cure: *Severe Depression and PTSD : Just minutes of interaction can erase years of trauma. *Anxiety and Suicidal Thoughts : To SCP-999, every life is precious and worth saving. *Physical Pain : Its presence acts as a natural analgesic, soothing even the most critical injuries.
3. The Miracle Find: Making the Lizard Laugh
SCP-999’s most famous achievement occurred during a cross-containment experiment with SCP-682 (The Hard-to-Destroy Reptile) . While most expected a massacre, 999 fearlessly lept onto the massive, hateful beast and began to tickle it.
For the first time in history, the unkillable monster didn’t kill. It laughed.
“Hahaha… stop… that is… disgusting… hahaha!”
For several minutes, the creature that hates all life was paralyzed by pure happiness. This experiment proved that “Love” is the only frequency that can truly disrupt the “Hatred” of the most dangerous entities.
4. The Prophecy: The Son of the Scarlet King
Beyond its cute appearance, SCP-999 carries a cosmic destiny.
According to ancient Foundation lore, SCP-999 is actually the seventh and final child of the Scarlet King —a multi-dimensional entity of pure destruction. While his siblings were born to devour the universe, 999 was born to save it.
It is prophesied that one day, SCP-999 will grow to a scale that dwarfs entire galaxies and, with its overwhelming compassion, will convert the Scarlet King’s hatred into love, ending the cycle of cosmic suffering forever.
