SCP-682

SCP-682 ("Hard-to-Destroy Reptile") is a reptilian entity known throughout the SCP Foundation for its danger and the extreme difficulty it takes to kill it. 682 holds a keen hatred of humanity, with many theories as to why.
==Biography==
===Origins===
SCP-682 was born as the son of the Scarlet King. It was one of the numerous leviathans that sprang from A'zieb, the king's fourth bride. Because their wounds had healed and their hides were impenetrable, her children were supposed to be like her in that they feared neither magic nor weapons. The roots of the Tree of Knowledge were rotted away by 682 and the other leviathan spawn. 
After "the storm" or the Great Flood, it was banished to Earth and is thought to have been the inspiration for numerous stories, including those about the Leviathan and Tarasque.
===Capture===
Eventually, SCP-682 was discovered by the SCP Foundation after killing several farmers. Somehow, it was contained and transported to a nearby site. There, a Scientific Department scientist interviewed SCP-682 with the assistance of Class-D personnel D-085. At roughly 22 minutes into the interview, the doctor asked why it killed the farmers, with D-085 being asked to move closer each time 682 muttered something incomprehensible. 682 then devoured D-085, with the doctor fleeing from the chamber.Entry Page: 682
====Breaches====
Six successful containment breaches occurred in the timespan after the initial interview, as well as seventeen attempted breaches that were foiled. The first breach was handled by three Security Department agents (Agent ███████, Agent ███, and Agent ████████) and five Class-D personnel (D-129, D-027, D-173, D-200, and D-193). Agent ████████ and all five Class-Ds were killed before containment was achieved. 
The second breach was handled by two SecDep agents (Agent ███ and Agent ████████████), one SciDep scientist (Dr. ███████), and five Class-Ds (D-124, D-137, D-201, D-202 and D-203). All the Class-Ds were killed, except for D-124, before 682 re-entered containment.
The third breach involved four SecDep agents (Agent ███████, MSgt █████████, Agent ████████, and Agent ██████) and three Class-Ds (D-018, D-211, and D-216). Only Agent ██████, D-018, and D-211 died during recontainment.
The fourth breach was unique, as nearly everyone involved was affiliated with SecDep. The people involved were Agent ████████, SSgt ██████, TSgt █████, Pvt ████████, Pvt █████, Lt. ████████████, SSgt ████████, Col ████████, Pvt ███████, Pvt ██████, and Agent ███. SSgt ████████, Col ████████, Pvt ███████, Pvt ██████, and Agent ███ were all killed during recontainment.
During the fifth breach, everyone involved was killed during recontainment, except for Class-D personnel D-221. The SecDep agents involved were Agent ██████████, Agent ████████, and Agent ██████, and the Class-Ds involved were D-221, D-028, D-111, D-281, and D-209.
The sixth breach resulted in only two survivors: Agent ██████████ and Agent ██████. Two agents (Agent ████████ and Agent █████████████) and four Class-Ds (D-299, D-277, D-278, and D-279) were killed, D-291 went missing during the incident.
At some point, 682 was moved to a secluded site 50 km (31 miles) from all human development in all directions; this was to prevent any further damage to property and human life resulting from previous breaches.
===Termination attempts===
====SCP-409====
Dr. █████ proposed to use SCP-409 to eliminate SCP-682, to which it was approved. The termination was overseen by high-ranking DTF agents General ███ and General ██████, as well as SecDep scientist Dr. ██████████. 682 was exposed to 409, to which he began to crystallize until 62% of his body was affected by 409; this area soon exploded, with 682 immediately healing from the trauma and vowing revenge on all responsible for his injury. As a result, 682 became immune to 409's effects; all future SCP items were ordered to be tested on 682's samples before use on 682 himself. Afterwards, Dr. ████████ recommended something relating to 682; in accordance, Dr. ███████ and Dr. █████ filed a request to utilize SCP-689 on 682, with this request pending at the time.
Dr. Charles Gears suggested to use SCP-182 to communicate with 682, though 182 refused to enter 682's chamber.
====SCP-017 ====
The use of SCP-017 to terminate SCP-682 was approved, with 017 engulfing a sample of 682 with no issue. 682 was exposed to 017, to which 682 let out an extremely loud roar that damaged several recording devices and managed to back 017 into a corner. 682 then attempted to breach the chamber, only to be suppressed and removed. Foundation analysts began analyzing the roar, seeing if it communicated with 017 or damaged it; this investigation was ongoing.Experiment Log T-98816-OC108/682
====SCP-999====
SCP-999 and SCP-682 were involved in a cross-test between the two, for the purposes of removing 682's omnicidal tendencies. 682 almost immediately crushed 999 under its foot, but 999 utilized its tickling and crawled up 682, making him laugh uncontrollably. He soon fell asleep, awakening as soon as SCP-999 was removed from the cell and activating a psychic wave, causing everyone nearby to laugh uncontrollably.
682 breached during this time, killing all in his path. 999 rescued as many people as possible, guiding them to safe zones while agents re-contained 682. Even after the incident, 999 still wanted to play with 682 again, showing no fear of him.Entry Page: 999
===NYC escape===
During emergency transport over New York City, New York, 682 escaped and dropped onto biologist Rita Butler, her husband, and her anthropologist half-sister, Joanna Cross. This knocked Butler and Cross unconscious and killed Butler's husband, with 682 destroying a building while roaming the streets of New York. Eventually he was captured, which all witnesses either recruited or amnesticized; one of those recruited was Butler, while Cross was amnesticized.Prisoners
==Alternate realities==
===Wasteland===
After a nuclear apocalypse, 682 escaped from its cell and became one of many so-called Beasts to roam the post-apocalyptic Earth. Over the course of the next 300 years, he became known as the Lizard King, his armies consisting of inhuman monsters supposedly pulled from another realm to serve him. The Lizard King waged war with many of the other great armies that roam the broken Earth, including the Holy Order of the Assemblage, the White Lord, the Queen of Darkness, the Hunter, and the Army of the Dead.Wasteland
===Universe-5000===
In Universe-5000, after the SCP Foundation realized The Entity's plans and sought to end humanity to stop them, they freed many anomalies in order to destroy large human populations more efficiently. One of these anomalies was said to be SCP-682, who breached containment and attacked the Global Occult Coalition.
==Personality==
Due to SCP-682's many versions in canon in tales, and the way SCP-682 behaves. there is very little consistency with his true motives. However in most renditions, his personality is very clear:
SCP-682 is an extremely sadistic, deranged, destructive, manipulative, abusive, hate-filled creature, and is an undisputed monster. With no regards for the amount of death and destruction it causes. SCP-682 takes pride and pleasure in killing innocent people, (including children and animals) in order to satisfy its own sadism and disturbed desires. SCP-682 finds all life so unforgivably unnatural and disgusting that it stops at nothing to kill absolutely everything it sees. SCP-682 seemingly has no real goals or motivations, and continues to live on earth so it can keep killing until the end of time, tormenting humanity, and mocking The Foundation for its failure to kill it.
SCP-682's hatred seems to know no bounds. SCP-682 also enjoys tormenting people who mock it, being so hateful to a foundation employee, that it drove her to the point of suicide. eating a group of children, killing a bunch of farmers, traumatizing SCP-096, and even killing many foundation employees for laughing at it. SCP-682 has a very short temper. When having a normal conversation, SCP-682 can enter a rage state and kill a large amount of people with the slightest insult or wrong word.
682 is also extremely intelligent and capable of speech, though it rarely converses willingly with staff, and cannot be reasoned with at all. It even has a blasphemous and vulgar streak, referring to SCP-999 as a "feculent little [unintelligible]" SCP-682 is shown to often to engage in complex communication. Its capable of speaking in full words (albeit, most of the words he says cant be understood by humans) and even had a full conversation with SCP-079, during there limited time together.

===Powers and Abilities===
SCP-682 is considered one of the most dangerous and difficult-to-contain SCPs within the Foundation. It has survived numerous termination attempts, leading to its classification as Keter, meaning it is extremely difficult to contain and poses a significant threat to global security and the lives of many foundation employees. SCP-682 is known to breach and cause mass destruction on a regular basis, it’s unknown whether or not SCP-682 actually has any limit to his adaptive capabilities, but his power far exceeds that of the foundation and most entities in the mythos. 
*Reptilian Physiology: SCP-682 possess a variety of abilities thanks to its extraordinary physiology. 
**Enhanced Strength: SCP-682 possesses physical strength far beyond that of normal creatures. It can easily overpower and crush objects and barriers, including those made from reinforced materials. Its strength allows it to inflict severe damage on structures and equipment.
***Durability: It's physical durability complements its strength. SCP-682 can withstand tremendous amounts of damage without significant harm, including high-caliber gunfire, explosions, and extreme temperatures. This durability makes it incredibly hard to physically subdue or destroy.
**Enhanced Speed: SCP-682 is incredibly fast, capable of fighting 1-1 with many quick SCPs, such as SCP-076-2, SCP-096, and even SCP-3812 himself.
**Immortality: For thousands of years, SCP-682 has lived without experiencing aging, illness, or other challenges.
***Self-Sustenance: SCP-682 has no need for food, as it has lived inside its containment chamber for many years without any kind of energy.
***Absolute Regeneration: SCP-682 is capable of self-renewal from everything and everything, as well as subatomic and cosmic healing for its whole body. Because of its remarkable regenerative powers, SCP-682 can heal from almost any kind of injury, no matter how serious. It can even withstand being beheaded and regenerate limbs or damaged organs. Because of SCP-682's extraordinary regeneration, it can withstand being removed from both the Noosphere and humankind's collective consciousness.
**Adaptation: 682's most potent and deadly ability is its capacity to adapt to nearly any situation. Examples of this include developing an anteater tongue to protect itself from the ant swarm from 743 and sprouting thousands of eyeballs to continuously monitor 173 (requiring security to enter and shoot them out).[8] Even after having its eyes blasted out by security, SCP 682 scarcely seemed to react, demonstrating a perfect immunity to the agony of being bathed in acid on a regular basis.
==Containment procedures==
SCP-682 is kept in a5 m x 
5 m x 5 m chamber with 25 cm reinforced acid-resistant steel plate lining all inside surfaces. SCP-682's containment is filled with hydrochloric acid. Personnel are forbidden to speak to 682 in fear that 682 will become angry and cause a containment breach. SCP-682 is kept at a redacted Foundation site 50 kilometers away from human development.
