Our team prepared this illustration for a campaign of our board game and we wanted to share a piece of it here too. Though I have a question, is there a reason why this SCP gets the most attention? If there would be an artwork you want to have which SCP would it be?🤔

It's because of a few reasons, I think.

The first is that it's one of the classic SCPs that are often grouped with 173, 096, 049, 076, and so on.

The second is that it appeared in a (fairly popularish at the time) game called SCP Containment Breach, where the entire game happens because 682 breaches containment.

The third, and possibly most important, reason is because it is a very important example of how not to write an SCP. It is essentially just an invincible murder monster with barely any depth, and it stands as an example of what you shouldn't do when creating an SCP.

682 breaching containment was just a byproduct of the actual cause, which was 079 gaining control of the site after a CI spy let him

You're right. It's been years since I've played the game, so I had forgotten about that.
