Lovecraftian SCP's: References to the Mythology of Great Writer

''Of course, we used to feel fear of the unknown when it comes to all SCP objects, because they are all very ominous, mysterious and inexplicable that makes related them with stories and monsters of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. But there are a few SCP objects much more “Lovecraftian” than the rest. I believe that these objects are the direct reference to the Lovecraftian Mythology and would like to speak a bit about it in this article.''

SCP-427



Very interesting SCP which seems innocuous at first sight. Here is its description from SCP-Wiki: “SCP-427 is a small, spherical, ornately carved locket made of a polished silver material. The ornate carvings do not seem to serve any function; it is unknown whether SCP-427's outer casing was crafted by sentients or not. Its circumference at its widest point is roughly 3 cm.”.

SCP is able to affect the biological tissue and to regenerate damaged tissues of any being. It can he can heal human from any illness or infection in a few minutes. But if some person abuse the time of use of amulet, it can turn into a very powerful amorphous monster hostile to all people.

As is known, in Lovecraft’s stories there are a lot of different amulets or accessories possessing paranormal properties: in the Hound two friends found the magical amulet in the tomb similar to the amulet described in the Necronomicon and since then the ancient horror pursues them. In the Call of Cthulhu there is a small bas-relief showing the hero how to find the Cult of Cthulhu etc. And of course in the story there is a place for shapeless amorphous creatures from other spaces hunting humans.

SCP-2264



SCP-2264 represents an iron door located in Martin Tower discovered by SCP specialists. The door opens only after special complex ritual and leads to strange city where the laws of physics do not apply. Gravity and geometry of space are violated in this city and the color of sky is yellow.

This description is very similar to the description of the R’lyeh city in Call of Cthulhu. Non-Euclidean geometry, strange figures and buildings… this place with the spirit of Lovecraftian mystery.

So, hope you will like my first article here. I am big fan of SCP games and currently I am playing new SCP Containment Breach Unity Remake on my gaming laptop HP Omen. Have a nice day!
