SCP-173

SCP-173 ("The Sculpture") is an anomalous statue that possesses an extreme hostility to sentient lifeforms.
==Biography==
===Foundation===
SCP-173 was eventually captured by the SCP Foundation, being moved to Site-19 in 1993. Due to it excreting a mixture of feces and blood, Class-D personnel were tasked with cleaning its cell on a regular basis.
===Containment Breach===
At some point, the Chaos Insurgency began conducting organized attacks on Foundation facilities, necessitating several SCPs to be moved to the Modular Site, redesigned by Insurgency undercover operative Dr. Maynard.
The day of the breach occurred, D-9341 and two other Class-D personnel were assigned to clean SCP-173's cell. While doing so, the doors and lights begin malfunctioning due to SCP-079's presence in the Site systems, resulting in 173 killing two of the Class-Ds and appearing near Security Chief Franklin Carey and Agent Ulgrin as they exited the room.
Throughout the facility, D-9341 continued to encounter 173 and was likely killed by it numerous times, "respawning" due to his anomalous ability. 173 later killed a scientist and security guard in the storeroom by entering through the vent. Eventually, it was captured by MTF Epsilon-11 "Nine-Tailed Fox" as they entered the facility, being contained within a containment box and taken back to its chamber.SCP: Containment Breach
==Anomalous properties==
SCP-173 is made of concrete and rebar, with traces of Krylon-brand spray paint. 173 is typically inanimate, until a lack of eye contact is established; this includes looking away or even blinking. When this occurs, 173 moves extremely fast towards the one who broke eye contact. Should they be within touching distance, 173 snaps their neck or strangulates the target, killing them instantly. 
173 also secretes a reddish-brown substance, identified as a mixture between feces and blood. It is unknown how this is done.Entry Page: 173
==Containment==
SCP-173 is stored in a containment cell in Site-19 at all times. Due to the secretions from 173, the cell must be cleaned out; this is performed by no more than three Class-D personnel. Two must maintain eye contact with 173 at all times, while the third removes the substance from the cell. The Class-Ds must announce every time they blink when within 173's cell. Even if there are two people watching, they are not to drop their guard, as 173 is extremely hostile.

=== Revised Entry ===
In the Revised Entry universe, during a routine cleanup in its containment chamber, SCP-173 managed to produce a duplicate of itself, causing the deaths of two Class-D personnel. Both instances were moved to their own containment chambers, designated SCP-173-1 and SCP-173-2.
SCP-173 would then undergo another duplication, and now 4 SCP-173 copies exist. All 4 objects were moved to individual containment chambers, and were reclassified as Keter.
Later on, a major security breach occured within Site-19, where 61 copies of SCP-173 materialized and caused numerous breaches across the entire facility. The instances are seen working in unison, working across multiple cells. Some instances even blocked Foundation security personnel from reaching other instances.
The Foundation would revise its containment procedures for SCP-173 This time, each copy is secured in a metal container and fitted with a tracking collar, then shipped using an unknown SCP to the abandoned Foundation base on the lunar surface. The tracking collars are there to detect if any instance leaves the lunar surface.
Due to the large quantity of SCP-173 instances within Site-19, they eventually broke free, and began to attack civilian population centers across North America. Within the first 48 hours, 500,000 people were killed, and hundreds of thousands of photos and video of SCP-173 instances were uploaded to the internet. News broadcasts have also captured footage of SCP-173, and are detailing instructions on how to avoid death when near them. SCP-173 instances have also managed to destroy 4 separate Foundation facilities near simultaneously 24 hours after their escape.
In the personal log of Dr. Bright, he writes that he was killed 37 times in one week, sensing that the 173 instances can "smell" him "regardless of what body i'm in". He also writes that about 150 individual copies of SCP-173 have teamed up and tore SCP-682 apart.
The Foundation would put Dr. Philips in charge of containment, but the article crosses his name, as well as the names of Matthews, Clef, Gears and Kondraki, ending with Dr. Bright, indicating that all scientists prior to Bright have died.
The O5 Council would declare the invasion of SCP-173 instances an XK-Class End of the World scenario. They would also begin plans to evacuate civilians and personnel away from North America, establishing a massive containment zone later known as Containment Zone X1.
Nuclear weapons were engaged throughout all of North and South America after evacuation, reducing the number of SCP-173 instances on Earth. Foundation operatives are continuously monitoring the ocean to detect any instance of 173 and to prevent them from reaching the Old World.
However, this attempt failed, as a 173 instance was discovered in Wales, where several nuclear weapons were engaged, leaving no survivors left.
