Wiz: An example would be the Weeping Angels, the angelic hell-spawn.Д«oomstick: And the SCP-173, the Euclid-Class sculpture. What if, they could actually see you? What if they could actually move if you weren't looking? SPOOOOOKY! Or are they.Д«oomstick: Yes, Wiz, they are. SCP-173 was originally found in a museum that was under investigation by the Fondation due to mysterious deaths by broken necks.Wiz: Statues. I hate.') It seems to have a desire of killing and finds purpose in snapping people's necks, suitably because of the crunch sound.

It also hints that not only is SCPвЂ“173 sentient, but it is also an organism except when it is being observed. In one Tale, entitled 'crunch', the thoughts of SCPвЂ“173 are translated and explained that SCPвЂ“173 kills people because when they look at it, it becomes 'prisoner'. It travels through the vents and chases the player down throughout the majority of the game. It moves incredibly fast, as already stated, and will snap the player's neck or strangulate the player if it gains the opportunity. It moves when the player is not directly observing it or if the player has blinked. SCPвЂ“173 plays as the main antagonist in the indie-developed game SCP: Containment Breach. At all times, two persons must maintain direct eye contact with SCP-173 until all personnel have vacated and re-locked the container. When personnel must enter SCP-173's room, no fewer than 3 may enter at any time and the door is to be re-locked behind them. Item SCP-173 is to be kept in a locked containment room at all times. Nonetheless, 173 remains one of the SCP FoundationвЂ™s most dangerous monsters to any lone individual, and once even managed to incapacitate SCPвЂ“682 in a oneвЂ“onвЂ“one encounter. The reason that it is not a вЂњKeterвЂќ, the most dangerous of SCP's which are often deemed largeвЂ“scale threats to society and require strict procedures to contain, SCP-173 is overall very easy to contain, and cannot present a huge threat to large amounts of people. SCPвЂ“173 is classified by the organization as a вЂњEuclidвЂќ, meaning it is unpredictable and more difficult to contain than a 'Safe' classed SCP. Unfortunately, the subjectsвЂ™ foolish and defiant behavior can often lead to death in these situations. Another method would be to not completely blink, but half-closed to decrease tiring the eyes.Дue to its nature, whenever the SCP Foundation sends test subjects to check on 173 they send them in groups of at least 3, so that at least one of them is making eye contact with it at all times. In theory, one could stop SCP-173 by winking one eye at a time (easier done by manually closing one eyelid with a finger and then the other once the first one has been blinked), this is actually much harder to do in practice, as the human mind is trained to blink both eyes at once. Thus, oneвЂ™s best bet when trying to escape from 173 is to walk backwards away from it while keeping your eyes steady. Thus, a victim has a chance of escaping from this abomination by keeping their eyes focused on it however people need to blink frequently and often do so subconsciously, and with each blink SCPвЂ“173 makes a large stride toward a person, and can move across the length of a large room in just a few blinks.

It also periodically produces feces and blood onto the ground of its containment cell, which must be cleaned up from time to time (see below).ДЇortunately, SCPвЂ“173 has one key weakness: it is frozen in place as long as someone is looking at it through eye contact, similarly to the Weeping Angels of Doctor Who lore. SCPвЂ“173 is a strange, living, concrete statue with bizarre markings that kills all living things on sight, moving toward its victims at a speed of several feet in one blink of an eye and snapping their necks with irresistible strength and lethal precision.
