 		Slender Man tribute at the SCP Foundation
SCP-582 is their tribute to Slendy
Recently, a new entry was posted at the SCP Foundation. It is as quoted:

Quote:
SCP-582 is an adaptive, self-propagating memetic capable of physical manifestation. When manifested, this entity has few consistent details, as its description varies by source. Primarily, it is depicted as a humanoid of unknown gender and generally indistinct appearance, wearing several layers of heavy clothing, even in hot climates. In addition, it is commonly described as carrying numerous large burlap sacks. Variants of this description exist, as well as several alternate descriptions. While contained, SCP-582 will exist only as an ill-defined, shadowy humanoid.

SCP-582's primary ability is passive reality modification. Any fictional account written about SCP-582 will become a factual record of a manifestation of the entity, in which SCP-582 will carry out all actions attributed to it in the narrative. These manifestations will take place at whatever time and place is specified: if no specific location or time is given, the manifestation will occur at the next opportunity that meets the criteria of the narrative.

Details attributed to SCP-582 are permanent and cumulative. If a narrative contains descriptions that contradict previously established details, it will have no effect upon SCP-582. Through this effect, SCP-582 has a consistent, if generalized, portrayal, due to its existence as an Internet urban legend before discovery by the Foundation (See Addendum 1).

SCP-582 is primarily portrayed as the cause of mysterious or unexplained deaths and disappearances, but rarely as an active participant. The more common format of story involves the aftermath of a manifestation of SCP-582, and features few details of SCP-582's actual abilities. Within narrative, SCP-582 is trans-dimensional, capable of appearing or disappearing at any place or time. The entity will cause extreme paranoia in individuals who encounter it, often culminating in complete mental breakdown. No method of terminating or otherwise harming SCP-582 within narrative has been successful.

Addendum 1: The origin of SCP-582 can be traced to the urban legend of "Bundle", which first began circulating the Internet in the spring of 200█. "Bundle" had amassed a small but devoted following before discovery by the Foundation, and said following had devoted numerous blogs, short story collections, photographic manipulations, and other projects to SCP-582 as a sort of collective mythos, centred around the website [DATA EXPUNGED]. The majority of these materials have been recovered by the Foundation, allowing a history of SCP-582's major manifestations to be compiled (See Document 582-UU).

Addendum 2: Several recovered narratives introduce additional entities with seeming connections to the "Bundle" character. It is unknown whether these secondary entities become independent after manifestation through SCP-582's effect. Further study required.

Sound familiar?

The page's author said in the comments that yes, this is basically Slendy, with a few modifications in appearance.

Interesting explanation of Slendy's powers, huh?

 		The SCP Foundation is a compilation of all of the unknown quantities in the world as they are discovered and kept track of by the Foundation's members. It's a wiki kept that details the danger rating of these objects, people, places and events, what experiments have been done on them, and what precautions need to be taken to keep the world safe from their malignant powers, if necessary.

It's pretty in depth -- if you like cryptids and anomalies and creepy pasta, it may consume your soul the same way that tvtropes.org does for others.

I want to know where 'Bundle' comes from. I assume that they're subbing that in for 'Slender Man'? It's an interesting play on the theme, for sure! Love how somethingawful's URL is expunged!

 		This is great to see! I was just on SCP last night, so it's great to see Slendy have his own little place there Razz

I loved the footnote though;
Quote:
All personnel, please note: SCP-582 is a reaction phenomenon. It has shown no signs of actual consciousness or free will. Everything it has ever said, done, or thought is a result of someone having written about it. That said, I still don't think we should introduce Fred to it any time soon. -Dr. ██████

 		They changed it since then, possibly because the mods didn't like the close association to a separate internet lore. Now they have generalized SCP-582 as a vague boogieman. They gave him other manifestation forms that don't fit the mythos of slenderman or the original, and disassociate internet-specific origins. They even got rid of the reference to Fred in the end note. It doesn't even feel like the same entity anymore.
I am disappointed by this change, but you can't fight the Senior Staff. RIP Slendy's SCP form. Crying or Very sad

I was going to say. I don't understand the mention of those other forms... But what was the Fred association supposed to mean?

 		Sounds like a reference to Alan Wake rather than Slenderman.

 		Okay, am I missing something? Why is this in the Marble Hornets forum and why was it revived after almost three years of lying dormant?

I had that exact same thought seconds before reading this post.

 		This thread is from nearly three years ago. I'd say to just leave it alone, but since the SCP has changed the article, I'm going to close the thread.
