The SCP-001 proposal that is the Scarlet King differs from other SCPs that were written before it that were intended to be the Scarlet King. Most people seem to use some personal interperetation of it based on the 001 article. Given that I cannot give you a concrete answer about what the Scarlet King actually is according to the 001 proposal, I Scarlet King is one of few SCP's with the Apollyon class making him a threat to the universe. Scarlet King plans to overthrow God and destroy creation. He was born under the tree of good and evil in the garden of Eden. The Scarlet King makes no sense being born in the universe of God and being stronger than him, considering how the Big G won't The Scarlet King is the most formidable and gravest threat within the SCP universe. He is a being that is a manifestation of the tension or rage between the modern and premodern worlds. He has the outstanding power to manipulate reality at will. The SCP foundation remains uncertain of the full extent of Scarlet King’s capabilities. Nyarlathotep exists outside of all dimension. He lives in the center of all existence. Everything from him are his countless avatars. The strongest of those can easily destroy entire dimensions but are still infinite beyond his true form. Also he can most likely have anything as a avatar. SCP 682 is a leviathan not Scarlet king and beings exist beyond Scarlet king like High elder gods of SCP and their is also SCP 3812 who can rewrite it's plot. 4 years ago. CaptainCoolade. After consulting SCP-343, instances of SCP-5050-1 apparently create and form a bond with a psychic entity (henceforth SCP-5050-S) that reflects the personality of its host. The entity’s anomalous properties are entirely dependent on the mental state of SCP-5050-1, ranging from a violent being with extreme strength and speed to those with more I mean, the avatar of one of the Scarlet King's children, SCP-682, survived being erased from existence before. Existence erasure isn't foreign to the Scarlet King, and seeing what happened with 682, he'd probably be immune to it altogether. In Chinese and Japanese, I believe the name they use is closer to meaning "the king in red" which English then translated to The Scarlet King, but is probably a reference to the deep red Deshret crown. However, 1. The Scarlet King exists as an SCP fandom thing, and 2. the name doesn't fit the Egyptian vibes of the desert, hence the choice to wUmByK7.
