Homebrew Atanti-ql-Paneu Species Details

Atanti is a Keter-level SCP object and one of the most well-known and dangerous objects in the SCP Foundation's care. He is a massive reptilian entity hell-bent on the massacre of all life upon planet Earth. On top of that, Atanti is considered to be nearly impossible to kill, healing from all wounds and adapting his body to any threats to his health. This has made Atanti the one SCP to be an exception from the "non-destruction of anomalies" rule, as he is so incredibly dangerous that the Foundation has made it their goal to find a way to terminate Atanti's anomalous abilities. Various SCPs have been used against Atanti to kill him, and yet all have failed.

Appearance

Atanti is a massive, somewhat reptilian, monster with four legs, a tail, and a crocodilian head. He has a mouth full of razor-sharp, scaly skin, and massive knife-like claws. and two eyes. Despite his appearance, Atanti isn't a reptile, he is a completely alien creature whose closest species classification is reptilian.

Personality

Atanti is an undisputed monster that finds all forms of life, from people to plants, to be so unforgivably unnatural and disgusting that it stops at nothing to kill absolutely everything it sees. Atanti is also extremely intelligent and capable of speech, though it rarely converses willingly with staff, and cannot be reasoned with at all. It even has a blasphemous and vulgar streak, referring to Joy as a "feculent little [unintelligible]". Despite its malevolence, Atanti does seem to have a soft spot for Abby, a little girl also contained by the foundation. Abby's uncontrollable ability causes all who stay near her for more than ten minutes to spontaneously attack each other, then try to kill her, though they immediately die of a heart attack before they can do so. In contrast, Atanti became docile when exposed to 053, allowing her to interact with it and even draw on its skin with a set of crayons before falling asleep beside the monster. After 053 was removed from Atanti's containment chamber, Atanti became noticeably more enraged and initiated a breach of its containment.

During a containment breach of an unrelated SCP, the Old AI, an A.I. was put in the same containment cell. Atanti interacted with the machine and the two talked, with both SCPs growing fond of one another, likely due to the Old AI not being an actual lifeform. After they separated, the Old AI saved the information regarding Atanti in its database, and both SCPs asked to meet each other again.

Another SCP that Atanti seemingly befriended was its fellow half-brother Joy. Though Atanti was initially hostile after being met with Joy, Joy's healing and positive emotions resulted in Atanti becoming jovial for as long as it was exposed to Joy, though it became extremely hostile after Joy was removed from its chamber, creating an unknown form of sound waves that resulted in several staff members becoming crippled by laughter, allowing Atanti to break containment and rampage throughout the facility, resulting in many deaths. It also stated that it wished to never again meet 999.

Powers and Abilities

Atanti can easily tear through reinforced steel walls with its bare claws and rip apart easily. It takes very high-level weaponry and/or other SCPs to do any actual damage to Atanti. Atanti has proven unkillable to even the most advanced human technologies. Methods have included being cut in half by a laser, having its neck snapped over and over for ten straight hours by the Koitern, and was also entangled and squeezed until limbs popped off by the Ball of Sharp. Atanti can regenerate from any injury it sustains, even when missing limbs and when cut in half. After being cut in half, Atanti was able to fuse its two halves back together again. One of Atanti's main powers and its most dangerous ability, Atanti can adapt to almost every solution which includes growing dozens of eyes to constantly keep an eye on the Koitern (forcing security to enter and shoot them out). Atanti seems to be completely immune to the pains caused by being constantly submerged in acid and even having its eyes shot out by security barely got a reaction.

Despite usually being seen as a mindless hateful brute, Atanti possesses genius-level intelligence and is very manipulative. In an attempt to destroy it with extreme heat, it created helium armor to shield itself. When researchers entered the room, it broke apart the armor and shredded several personnel in attendance.

Atanti has razor-sharp claws capable of ripping apart humans on all four feet, and razor-sharp teeth capable of ripping legs off of people with single pulls.

Atanti's primary weakness and how it is kept detained. The strong corrosive acid will damage its body and force it to constantly regenerate, rendering it unable to move. However, this is not a permanent solution since it will eventually regenerate faster than the acid can damage it and cause a breach. Although open fire will not kill it, it still takes time for Atanti to regenerate which is how it is often re-contained.

If given a high enough dose of sedatives, Atanti will be knocked out. This option is rarely utilized however since it requires getting well in a range of the creature's claws and teeth.

Origin

Atanti was the offspring of the Scarlet King. It was one of the many leviathans spawned from the fourth bride of the king, A'zieb. Her children were said to be like her, they feared no weapon nor magical spell, for their injuries, were healed, and their hides impenetrable.

Atanti along with the rest of the leviathan spawn festered the Multiverse's roots, rotting them away. The Scarlet King then led his army of leviathans towards the Taproots, the center of worlds.

Atanti is running for its life, presumably from the Koitern. Atanti ran into some of the Koiterns men, which would have been bad for Atanti, thankfully they were just explorers just like it, which meant the Koitern was still worlds away.

Still, these explorers were violent and outnumbered Atanti eight to one. Atanti managed to escape by ducking into a familiar tunnel, and after a few more minutes of running, it managed to shake off the pursuers. Atanti chose to explore further, and after a few hours of traversing, it eventually found itself in the Grand Chamber of Sutkak.

While reveling in the beauty of the room and the thoughts of its people, the doors of the chamber slammed shut behind it. This allowed it to survive the storm (presumably the flood caused by the All-Mighty), but it still cried as its thoughts turned to his wife and child.

At some point, after a great flood, he was later exiled down to Earth by God and forced into his current form as a punishment, preventing him from ever dying, returning to his true form, or leaving Earth while causing all of humanity to endlessly seek his death. He was often compared to many mythological reptiles, such as that Livyatan and Tarasque.

On Earth

On May 14th of 1883, the monster appeared in the village of Tarascon in France where he began taunting and laying waste on innocent people before proceeding to go to other populated areas just for fun. The French government evacuated as many people as possible and quarantined the zone. Seeing that the creature was not affected by their assault, the government gathered the famous hunters, Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Harris, Mr. Dukov, and Lord Blackwood to deal with the threat of Atanti.

The four gentlemen hunted Atanti to Belleville where they used their advanced weaponry on the monster even blowing up a piece of its head, but Atanti easily shrugged it off and charged them. Luckily the four gentlemen had managed to escape it and tried to attack it a second the next day but to no avail. However, the heroes then decided to set a trap for Atanti, so they dug up a pit, filled it with poisoned spikes, built a bridge over it capable of holding only a man and a horse, and then covered it with leaves. The next day, Roosevelt lured Atanti to the pit in which the monster fell getting pierced by the poisoned spikes. The four gentlemen used the chance to unload all of their weaponry onto the monster until only a skeleton remained.

Thinking they had finally killed the abomination, they took its head and buried the rest of the body. While taking photos of their prize, Atanti's head came to life and ate Dukov. Then the rest of its regenerating body dug itself out and reunited with the head, while the rest of the gentlemen and the French army panicked. Mr. Harris decided to use his secret weapon, which was revealed to be Able. After Able killed Harris and fought Blackwood and Roosevelt, he took notice of the monster and the two fought. The battle was long and brutal with both parties delivering heavy damage to each other, until Able used the core of one of Dukov's weapons, turning it into a bomb. After detonating it, all that remained of the military's base was just a barren land, with Atanti seemingly retreating away.

It is unknown when or how the Foundation acquired Atanti but presumably it happened shortly after the creature attacked a farm and slaughtered everything on it. It bore a particular hatred for the humans of the farm and when questioned about its motives, it simply says "They were...disgusting...".

Atanti has escaped containment at least six times and has killed hundreds of staff during its time in the Foundation. A termination order has been issued to Atanti, but it has adapted and evolved every time the Foundation tries to kill it. Using either conventional means such as using bombs or depressurizing the environment, or using other anomalies such as facing off this anomaly with the Koitern and the Shy Guy. All attempts have failed.

Myths and Legends

Revised Entry

In the "revised entry" of SCP-173, in which SCP-173 was able to multiply itself and seemingly create a hive mind, they were able to rip apart Atanti, which put a smile on the face of Dr. Jack Bright.

The End of All but Me

There is a tale about Atanti titled "The End of All but Me" written by the authors of the SCP wiki, which is not present in the wiki itself and is non-canon. This tale tells about Atanti outliving humanity and the universe itself. Although it was content at first with life finally expiring, it quickly grew bored and eventually depressed, realizing that humanity and life gave meaning to its existence and that in truth, it has sought to kill itself all this time.

Others

The only SCP that could kill Atanti is the joke SCP known as SCP-729-J. It isn't described how he was killed, it only states "You don't even want

Quotes

“ ...They were... disgusting... „

— Atanti stated his reason for killing some farmers

“ This monster is nothing to scoff at. Despite looking like a cheap copy of the Predators, it has killed over ten of our men since we captured it. We must find a way to contain it or else it will continue its killing spree restless. „

Abby and Alto Clef are some of the few entities that Atanti won't attempt to kill, the former is most likely due to her abilities while the latter is unknown.

Atanti considers Edrisek-TSA-Fanu and Evuruct-rru-Kirge old friends from the old world. As documented in the termination logs, there was an infamous occasion where a person referred to as "Guest Researcher Dr. W" decided to feed children to Atanti for reasons never explained (although it was implied that he was just a completely sick psychopath) which ended after two tests when Dr. Clef (now assistant director of Site-19) having him fed to the SCP as revenge.

Why Dr. W decided that feed ordinary children to Atanti is never made clear but his choice of wording ("Okay, so that didn't work so well. Maybe the fact that the kid was crying made Atanti perceive it as hostile intent") implies that he was just plain sick in the head.

Another reason could be the success with 053 (a young girl) and this being some kind of twisted self-justification to himself.

The Old AI is seemingly a friend to Atanti, which may be due to the Old AI being an A.I. and not a conventional lifeform.

The Foundation used this friendship in one of its termination attempts. They presented Atanti with a computer that resembled the Old AI but was linked to a shock mechanism, which caused Atanti to get electrified for an hour before spending days regenerating from the damage.

Atanti has a history with Fernand. Fernand considers Atanti a friend but Atanti states it isn't mutual.

Hevel ben Adam was by far one of the few SCPs who dealt intense damage to Atanti.
Dr. Bright, a scientist of the Foundation whose soul was trapped inside SCP-963 and could take possession of its wearer, once tried to make Atanti his new host. However, this didn't work, causing Atanti to breach containment. However didn't kill anyone and was safely recaptured without casualties, while his necklace was removed from the creature and given to a D-Class for Bright to possess.
The Foundation once introduced Atanti to a human with ideals similar to its own. It talked the man into killing people and himself.
After their second interaction resulted in a whole site being consumed, they are keeping Penumbra away from Atanti, believing that a third meeting will result in an XK-Class end of the world scenario.
Dr. Curtis once made a clone of its using Mainspring and bacon. The bacon Atanti was about as hostile as the original, although it is nowhere as dangerous due to being small and made of bacon.
When Atanti was confronted by the Koitern, it was greatly startled by the sculpture and refused to attack it, which never happened before when confronting other SCPs, and even grew multiple eyes to never break eyesight.
One researcher, Isla Stewart, has suggested taking advantage of its regenerative abilities to create cures for diseases and infection-based SCPs.
When D-77544 looked at Atanti through some glasses which let their wearer know how much costs the objects the wearer sees, he said that Atanti costs "All of humanity… Alexandria… and that Giant Eel so you never forget." The glasses broke afterward and Atanti is suspected to be responsible
