32. SCP-106 (20.5 points)
Nominated by:Murphiroth (0/5 remaining)


Importance: 3.5
Fear: 8
Snake: 9

From his rotting face to his corrosive-touch, SCP-106 looks just as dangerous as he actually is. This isn't any teddy bear that grows ears on your body or music sheet that compels you to finish it, SCP-106, sometimes referred to The Old Man, is just plain someone you're going to stay far the hell away from. He can walk through walls and generally goes for vital organs before transporting you to his pocket dimension. His corrosion is represented by sharp rust, black mucous, and intense cracking. Aging is the central theme here with 106 in general, representing industrial decay in long-forgotten abandoned factories and the stigmata of growing old, that fear that your family will dump you somewhere and prefer to forget and avoid you however they can. Or, we could look at 106 as a manifestation of contagious plagues & disease, perhaps the pocket dimension representing the small, sterile hospital room we'll end up in if we catch a particularly bad case. Either way, SCP-106, with his horrific appearance, may be a more straight-forward SCP than some others, but that doesn't diminish his fear factor in any way. He would be a plain simple nightmare to deal with, and is one monster of many we should be glad doesn't really exist.
