Thus, a victim has a chance of escaping from this abomination by keeping their eyes focused on it however people need to blink frequently and often do so subconsciously, and with each blink SCP–173 makes a large stride toward a person, and can move across the length of a large room in just a few blinks. It also periodically produces feces and blood onto the ground of its containment cell, which must be cleaned up from time to time (see below).įortunately, SCP–173 has one key weakness: it is frozen in place as long as someone is looking at it through eye contact, similarly to the Weeping Angels of Doctor Who lore. SCP–173 is a strange, living, concrete statue with bizarre markings that kills all living things on sight, moving toward its victims at a speed of several feet in one blink of an eye and snapping their necks with irresistible strength and lethal precision.
