SCP-2574 - World War 1 Lion

Published 2023-08-26
SCP 2574 is a KETER CLASS anomaly also known as World War 1 Lion.

SCP-2574 is a 12-meter-tall leonine creature composed of sandstone and smooth muscle tissue.1 SCP 2574 is surrounded at all times by a flock of birds of prey.2 The flock, designated SCP-2574-1, is fixated on attacking SCP2574 , and will not respond to any other stimulus. SCP-2574 constantly regenerates from the damage done by SCP-2574-1.

SCP-2574 is capable of locomotion at a rate of 3-5 km a day, and is moving steadily towards a fixed destination. SCP-2574 is undeterred by most obstacles, whether man-made or naturally occurring. It can swim at a rate of 2-3 km per day, and will either crush land-based obstacles or climb over them. Currently, SCP-25743 is estimated to have caused 25.3 million USD in damages, 112 deaths, and 625 injuries. The current theorized destination of SCP-2574 is the city of Sarajevo.4 SCP-2574's effects began on December 24th, 2012, and have continued to the present day.

SCP-2574 appears to have a wide variety of anomalous effects. SCP-2574 physically affects its current location by temporarily transforming it into a facsimile of a World War I combat zone.

    Finally, something new, that isn't a compilation, an overused SCP, or an SCP-001 proposal.
  • @onion2.076
    Fun SCP fact: our reality is an anomaly to the SCP foundation reality.
  • @TheKrensada
    This is the first time I have heard about an SCP that sounded absolutely ridiculous, and unbelievable.
  • @HalduBouyaNono2
    Nice to see that sometimes fiction remembers about WW1. I'm from one of the countries who were the most devastated by this war, so here the memory is pretty vivid. But I've got the impression that in most countries, WW2 obscured the Great War. Albeit, I guess that the fact that WW2 was one rare real-life case of a fight against one faction who was really evil, while WW1 is more about heads of State, governments or Armies sending millions to die in their name (though when looked closely in the Balkans and Ottoman Empire they already were factions who wanted to genocide minorites), make easier to clearly identifed good and bad guys in fictions about WW2 but much more difficult in fictions set in WW1.

    I enjoyed this, the start reminded me of the video on what if the WWs never happened, and the feeling of imminence built up across the video gave it the flavor it needed considering the rumors of war in this... Offbeat decade. Keep it up! I knew there are overlooked spots everywhere and you didn't disappoint explaining this one.
  • @Mr.M3447
    I have no clue why I’m writing this but I thought it was a cool idea. SCP-8000: All-Knower, Object Class: Safe, Description: SCP-8000 appears to be a completely normal human boy around 10 years of age. The exact nature of SCP-8000 discovered has been requested to be kept private, as requested by SCP-8000 and his parents. SCP-8000 has the ability to almost instantly learn the origin of whatever he focuses on, from being able to see the life of a tree before it became the table in his family’s kitchen, to being able to give detailed descriptions of extinct animal and floral life. Due to SCP-8000 being both an extremely recent discovery and him being a child, the Foundation is currently working on the proper accommodations needed for the child as they believe his ability has the potential to aid in the research for the many other thousands of SCPs as well as information that may help in terminating certain ones.

    When SCP collaborates with GOC, you know shit's going down.
  • @leoGalaxy1200
    A very unique SCP. I really like lions in particular.😎🦁Is there maybe an scp that represents WW2 then?
  • @logankerlee
    This video was flipping cool! Really enjoyed it.
  • @EnriqueLaberintico
    Alrighty then: Week 3 of suggesting SCP-7001. Today we see the embodiment of WW1's warfare, I offer to see the embodiment of Secure Contain Protect that The Administrator made as Site 19.
  • @stacyk123
    You should do a Day in the Life series of what it's like to be an agent in the various, more famous MTFs like Alpha-1, Alpha-9, Omega-7, the Maz Hatters, the Mole Rats, etc.
  • @HORRIOR1
    Did they ever try using the Dragonslayer to take it down? Heck they probably could have gotten rid of it with the seaslug.
  • @a7wdx
    What about using ww1 weapons on the lion? Just from the top of my head perhaps it can only be damaged from weapons based on ww1. After all it is supposed to be EVERYTHING about WW1. Perhaps Princip’s gun that killed Ferdinand? Just a wild guess lol
  • @moonrose100
    Keep up the good work guys! Love the stories and the animated work you do!
  • @alicemalice1047
    Finally you're putting in effort instead of compilations and reuploads.
