Sep 5, 2025

Overview

SCP-1000, inspired by Bigfoot folklore, is a Keter-class entity with a complex cover story designed to conceal its true history and intelligence. The SCP Foundation prioritizes information suppression over direct containment due to the significant threat SCP-1000 potentially poses.

Origin and Description

  • SCP-1000 is based on the Bigfoot/Sasquatch myth and described as a bipedal ape similar in intelligence to chimpanzees (according to the public report).
  • Entities evolved alongside humans but were allegedly wiped out by a genetically carried, brain-killing disease.
  • SCP-1000 instances are said to be located mostly in the Pacific Northwest, Himalayas, and smaller populations worldwide.

Containment Protocol and Secrecy

  • SCP-1000 is classified as Keter due to difficulty and potential danger in containment.
  • Foundation efforts focus on suppressing information and monitoring those investigating SCP-1000.
  • Any contact with SCP-1000 requires directorial approval and must be reported immediately.

True History (Restricted Information)

  • The public containment report is intentionally false; there is no lethal disease.
  • SCP-1000 is as intelligent as modern humans and was once far more technologically advanced.
  • Human and SCP-1000 civilizations coexisted, with SCP-1000 possessing cities, advanced technology, and a massive population.
  • On "The Day of Flowers," humans annihilated most of SCP-1000, allegedly with the help of a trickster forest god.

Aftermath and Current Threat

  • Survivors of SCP-1000 were rendered technologically and cognitively impaired via their own technology.
  • Human society erased its memory of SCP-1000 and their destruction.
  • SCP-1000 populations are now observed to be regaining intelligence, raising concerns within the Foundation.

Recent Developments and Communication

  • SCP-1000 recently attempted communication, implying forgiveness but warning that acceptance is only temporary.
  • Sightings and possible reemergence suggest potential for future conflict or exposure.

Related Anomalies and Lore

  • Other anomalous SCPs, like SCP-2932, are linked to SCP-1000's era.
  • Most details of their civilization remain hidden, with SCP-1000's story being the primary source.

Questions / Follow-Ups

  • What event or motive led to humanity’s mass extermination of SCP-1000?
  • How quickly is SCP-1000 regaining intelligence, and what are their intentions?
  • Will the Foundation be able to contain SCP-1000 if a resurgence occurs?
