ut of the thousands of anomalies in the Wiki, SCP
053's abilities are among the most surprising. The last thing one would expect from a little
girl is to calm down one of the most aggressive monsters in the foundation, SCP 682. But why
didn't the hard to destroy reptile attack 053, given its absolute hatred towards humanity? In this SCP Exploration episode,
we try to answer this question. Before we begin, don't forget to subscribe

SCP-related questions like this one in the future. The first possible reason why this happened
is rather obvious. As we know, SCP 053 causes anyone that approaches it to become
paranoid, and homicidal. As a result, this individual will attempt to kill the girl but will
suffer a massive heart attack and die instantly. And if we think about the SCP 682 experiment, we
notice how everything went the other way round. The lizard didn't become aggressive after meeting
053, as it is aggressive at default, and instead, after meeting the girl, it became peaceful.
So the obvious reason is SCP 682's adaptation capabilities. The lizard realized that
attacking the girl would be deadly, so instead, it decided to remain calm. However, there are
a few counter-arguments. The first reason why this isn't the whole picture is the fact that SCP
682 must have adapted to 053's effects instantly, which isn't how the reptile's adaptation usually
works. To clarify, during a run of the mill SCP 682 termination attempt, the method or SCP that is
used usually begins damaging the reptile at first, but then 682 begins adapting and the method
loses effectiveness. To the contrary, when exposed to SCP 053, the lizard became calm
instantly and didn't attack the girl at all, which as we said, isn't how tests with
SCP 682 usually start. Furthermore, even if the outcome of this test was due to 682's
adaptation alone then this still doesn't explain why the reptile allowed to be played around
with in such a cute manner. If 682 adapted, then it would only abstain from attacking
053, but it would still experience the same amount of hatred towards the little girl as it
feels towards all of humanity. To the contrary, SCP 682's behavior seems to imply some sort of
sympathy and emotional attachment to the girl, which is definitely out of tone with its usual
hatred. So to sum things up, even though SCP 682’s adaptation is by far its most important
ability, and more than likely played a role in this experiment, these two counter-arguments
alone imply that there is more to this experiment than just adaptation. So we will have to
go deeper and look for different reasons. If we assume that SCP 682 felt sympathy
towards 053, which certainly sounds reasonable, considering the fact that the lizard allowed
the girl to draw with crayons on its body, then we have to ask ourselves: why was SCP 682
sympathetic towards 053? Well, to begin with, the hard to destroy reptile has expressed
hatred towards all life forms, including SCPs, claiming they are all disgusting.
However, it was friendly towards SCP 079. So what is there in common between SCP 079 and
053? Well as we know, SCP 079 despises humanity and is very hateful. SCP 053 hasn't stated
anything that would imply hate towards life, but her abilities certainly speak otherwise. The
little girl turns ordinary people into monsters, killing them in the process. Perhaps SCP 682
admires 053's abilities and respects the fact that the little girl also wants to kill as many
people as possible. However, the fact that SCP 682 hates all life forms contradicts with SCP
053's appearance, that of an innocent little girl. Furthermore, the fact that SCP 079
is an ai, and as such isn't a living being, further consolidates the fact that on paper,
682 should only be able to feel sympathy towards non-living objects. And If we rely on the 079
experiment and assume than 682 must hate all life, with no exceptions, then 053 must adhere to this
rule as well. But then what does this mean about SCP 053? How can it look like a little girl and be
non-living at the same time? Luckily, we discover an SCP tale that offers an interesting take on the
682 and 053 relationship that may be the answer. The pale horse is an SCP tale that shows a
deeper connection between SCP 682 and 053. The tale begins with the lizard's containment, but
shortly afterward, 682 escapes, and doctor clef uses some sort of special weapon on the reptile,
which as expected fails to eliminate the lizard. Instead, this merely changes 682's appearance, and
the anomaly is now covered in feathers and quills. This makes SCP 682 appear less
like a lizard and more like a lion, complete with a feathery mane. SCP 682 then
approaches clef and the two begin to talk. The reptile claims it didn't kill clef because
of his powerful reality-bending capabilities, and states that now, back in its glorified
form, It can see clef for who he really is. And when asked what this glorified form really means,
682 says that it is a part of a group, and calls the others members of this group Conquest, War
and Famine. Clef figures out that this makes SCP 682 a part of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
And when asked if it is the fourth member, death, 682 says that instead, it is her steed. Shortly
afterward, SCP 053 breaches containment and meets 682. The girl kisses the reptile, climbs onto it's
back, and the two ride away. So we see how this SCP tale would explain why 682 was friendly
towards 053. If the girl really is death, or at least a manifestation of it, then the
lizard wouldn't violate it's rule of hating all life by being friendly towards the girl.
Instead, SCP 682 would admire 053, and would feel calm and happy in the presence of something
that is a manifestation of what the lizards wants to achieve in life. To clarify, we don't
actually believe that 682 used to be 053's steed, as the hard to destroy reptile would certainly
react in a much more joyful way if it was, but we most definitely agree that the girl must
be some sort of manifestation of death. So to sum things up, SCP 053's ill intent matches
that of 682, which the lizard respects. But the reptile can't be friendly towards
a living creature, as it hates all life, which leaves only one possibility: that SCP 053
is a manifestation of death, something that is also implied in the tale the pale horse. So we see
that SCP 053 gives us a glimpse at how 682 would act if it were with its own kind and in its own
world. SCP 682's real behavior is that of a bored, lazy house cat, that simply finds our world's
creatures a bit disgusting, and wants to eliminate us as a result. And when it comes to SCP 053,
we once again see how deceiving looks in the SCP foundation can be, as an innocent-looking little
girl turns out to be a manifestation of death. This concludes our" Why didn't
SCP 682 attack SCP 053" video. So do you agree, Is the girl a manifestation
of death, or does the lizard simply admire her properties? Let us know in the comments below.
