| ==Background== | | ==Background== |
| The Monarch of Pointland appears in Edwin Abbott's 1884 novel "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions." It exists as the sole inhabitant and ruler of Pointland, a dimensionless realm that the Sphere shows to A Square during his metaphysical explorations. The Monarch represents the ultimate extreme of solipsistic existence, being completely unable to conceive of anything beyond itself.
| | '''SCP-173''' is an animate and extremely hostile creature. One must keep a constant line of sight with the creature without blinking. If one breaks the line of sight, it will attack by snapping the neck at the base of the skull, or by strangulation. Originally classified as Euclid, SCP-173 gained the ability to replicate itself, eventually leading to a mass containment breach, the devastation of North and South America, and an XK-class end-of-world scenario requiring nuclear intervention. |
