I actually just played some of this for the first time.  I'm confused, since scp-173 is normally just locked-up in a storage container.  How is he clipping around the map?  If you close the door behind you when you run out of the room, he should be stuck until the filth he generates achieves such pressure that it breaks the door.  That said, it's hard to know much about scp-173, since there's a complete ban on altering the entry to make it better or more informative.  As someone points out in the comments, there's no need for anyone to ever look at 173 if all they're doing is containing it; you could easily construct a system that would automatically clean the room without the need to risk a breach.

It also occurs to me how much trouble this site is in if it actually lost power.  Thinking of this scp without the ban on changes, it probably has similar measures to other visually-cued scps, ie triple backed-up circuits and generators everywhere.

There's another scp that operates on a similar principle that actually will teleport to everyone who's seen it and kill them, but I can't remember the number.  IIRC, it was a little statue that would teleport on top of their corpse.

Edit: spoilers go all yucky and have a new-line character with them

He can press buttons.

That first one you're talking about is 096, and it doesn't teleport. The second one is in the 600 series IIRC (662?)

Read the wiki better.The SCP that kills anyone who has seen it is relatively humanoid.And it only kills those who has looked at a picture of it.

I know 096 is humanoid, and read the wiki better. It also kills you if you look at its face.

[Graknorke]

It is specifically it's face, regardless of whether it's a picture or live. Of course, with a picture you live longer. Probably.
Oddly enough, there is one report where it went on a rampage after it was captured on a picture, where it consisted of an entire four pixel square. That probably makes the face was probably less than one pixel large, and yet it still reacted as expected.

Only because you can be farther away.

Considering Rez said the SCP teleports, they may be thinking of something else. Unless you know every SCP and none of them are teleporting statues that kill people who see them. There are a lot of SCP files.

[Graknorke]

There is one that's a teleporting statue that kills people who see them.
Can't remember the number, but if any less than two people are looking at it, it will proceed to kill anyone who has seen it previously (or the person currently watching it, if there is one) and teleport on top of their bodies. It prefers people in crowded areas, presumably to spread its effects.

I've SCPd too much methinks.

yeah, I know that one. Rumor is they have loads of trouble keeping it contained.

[Rez]

Yea, I was thinking of a different one.  Like I said, though, I have no idea what the number or name as.

[Putnam]

Like I said, I think that one is in the 600 series and I know it's been cross-tested (hissss) with 682...

It's SCP-689.

[Rez]

That's the one.

This is the same gif/image used in 895's profile on the wiki.

That's where I got it from

However, an artist's depiction of a picture of its face does not set it off, as the Foundation learned after much effort.

Honestly, if it's any of the SCPs, it's the Shy Guy that keeps me up at night. Terrific article that makes 173 look docile by comparison.

I liked the one with the red spring, too- the expedition that wasn't was really cool.

I enjoyed "The Plague Doctor" the most, along with the joke SCP's about the sun.
