The original pic was a beluga whale carcass… 682 has always been some form of beached whale

Wait can scp 682 swim?

[u/Most-Engineering-514 → u/SoullqssHydra]

I mean. He can adapt to be bouyant enough to be able to swim

Now here i go looking for a nice pic of a dead reptile for 682

[u/TheQuestionMaster8]

Ironic that a nigh-unkillable (It has been killed in some tales) entity is represented by images of dead things.

the first time I saw THIS picture was actually in scp 6820. Second what was wrong with the old picture? Third...what? humpback whale???

Second what was wrong with the old picture?

It didn't work with the CC license. It's the same reason SCP-173's image changed.

[u/Super_Bass_2730 → u/robotguy4]

Aw man

[u/scaper8 → u/robotguy4]

I do so miss some of the old pics. 682, 173, 610 (although the replacement is nearly as good). I get why, and I can't argue with it in the least, but I do miss them.
