My amazing patreons make these videos possible. Consider becoming one and enjoy NO ads and NO sponsors. 🟠Support me on PATREON: www.patreon.com/MRILLUSTRATED 🔵Let's chat on my DISCORD: discord.com/invite/FgYHg3geHm I know this is quite the deviation from my usual type of video but you know what, I really enjoyed making it. I found it interesting to work on, I got it done in only a few days instead of a few weeks and it's something a little bit different. Let me know your thoughts on what you think of this kind of video because I would love to do more. Also, remember to COMMENT your ideas on what you think this entity is...

I love to think that the Malidramagiuan heard the cries of its fellow anomalies after Dr. Emerson had them killed and during the teleportation travel by the THRESHER device, it somehow found its way into Site-13 instead of already being contained, with the sole purpose of finding Dr. Emerson and killing anyone who wears the SCP emblem.

[@connerredacted9432]

Interesting idea! However, if I remember correctly, there is an immensely complicated containment chamber right above the server room where Samsara found it. In my opinion, this was meant to imply that it was contained by the foundation at one point.

[@notrelatedtobacon1282]

[@Forestdude9000]

Yeah, for sure. I think in most SCP videos it gets mentioned, but they almost never focus on how powerful it really is. Luckily, it seems to only want to torture one guy.

[@robdeskrd]

Are you the Dr Bright?

If we assume that each movement of the hand is the same, as we don't know the possible hand movements this thing could use, there are (2^72)-1, or 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 different combinations.

[@GamingSpoiler]

There's a small hole in your theory: The Gate Guardian and the Deer were also contained within the same site. While we know that the Gate Guardian requires no containment procedures except to be left well enough alone, it was somehow confined to a closed quarters. The Deer requires a ridiculous amount of containment, dozens of rituals that - and I quote the Containment procedures - "All it needs is to find a small hole and it will be let lose again. We know that the site was offline for more than enough time for the Deer to break free since there was no one to conduct the rituals within Site 13, so how was the Deer Contained either way ?? While there is no definitive conclusion, my only theory is that the "Malidramagiuan" was somehow "Summoned" rather than "Broke containment", my personal thoughts is that all the SCPs within site 13 somehow did something to summon it, while the SCP & the GOC used the so called "Meat Grinder" to theoretically neutralize the SCPs, it was confirmed that those SCPs "Being Alive" is the least anomalous thing about them. I think that the "Malidramagiuan" was the closest thing to a "Punishment" which was sent to unleash Mayhem on the world which put the GOC in power of containing anomalies. as a lesson to what happens when you try to Destroy Anomalies you don't understand rather than Containing them.

[@kritikill7779]

there's a small hole in your theory: the article repeatedly notes the Malidramagiuan's presence long before the breach, it couldn't have been summoned as it was around long enough to both study and jump start a whole new field of study.

[@jarodjohnson1605]

​@kritikill7779 could've been contained in another universe, maybe even by another scp/god entity. Then "summoned" by the thresher operating at 55 gigawatts. However the fact of Emerson being bound to it leads me to believe that he was responsible for containing it. I get a sense it doesn't like to be shackled and don't think it would care much to respond to other anomalous entities being killed or mistreated.

[@molwarion]

Bear in mind that site-13's Foundation had contained the abrahamic god and used its powers to contain everything else

[@Jambo_Neo]

Thrasher device could’ve pulled it into reality from where ever it resides, maybe that’s why Emmerson is on it it was taken from its reality into the Thrasher machines room and found Emmerson and with its nigh omnipotence decided to punish him

[@tetraxis3011]

Not exactly. To contain the guardian they probably moved the gate. And the deers contanment is literal gaslighting. So the foundation probably Drew complex symbols on the inside of the cell and the deer believes the symbols stop it.

[@Prenz01]

This is legit the man in the wall from warfarme - Extra-dimensional - makes glyphs (requiums) - has a thing for fingers / hands - cognito / memetic hazards

[@Mobius01010]

facts. just tell Samsara to show the Man in the Wall some lovin he will be okay haha

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

This thing is terrifying, but yes, more of the stuff from Site-13 in general would be nice. One thing I wonder, is that this thing was once contained, and is considered to be a straight-up god, potentially omnipotent, all that. It was contained. The Foundation in this universe contained a literal god, in fact several, given the ending of 1730 shows more being released - I vaguely remember some sort of incarnation of the Saturn Deer and some other thing fighting that gargantuan leech creature, all having been released from containment save for the leech itself which formed in the grinders at some point from an anomaly which felt spited by what was being done there. I have no doubt that Emmerson being tied to the thing's top is for his punishment, but I also want to know if it was perhaps in concert with some other being making that deal with it - it'd probably be happy to, should one approach it with such an offer, given what Emmerson did. I'm going to have to re-read 1730 to remember more and theorize more, it's been a while since I have. I presume this video is a precursor with some of what's been made for the next 1730 video?

[@RedDeadTeddy]

It was a worm, and made when a hardly anomalous kid ended up inside of the goop made by grinding up all kinds of scp's.

[@Braindead_Sarkic]

A version of Saturn Deer wasn’t there, a version of The Deer From Saturn was. They may sound similar but they are 2 different gods.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

@@Braindead_Sarkic As I said, it's been a while. I'm also not all too well-versed in that specific set of entities. At least I was close.

[@Mobius01010]

from this channel's version of it, the "leech boy" who subsisted on blood was sent to the incinerator but the drain was blocked with anomalous goo so he sat there outside the reach of the blades in the incinerator and feasted until he became the Leech.

[@bonnigi5518]

I really enjoyed this type of content. Analyzing the SCP and trying to understand it better along with these Illustrations. I hope to see more of them covering other mysteries.

[@mindcraftful]

That thing is one of the reasons why I fell in love with SCP 1730, I think that would definitely be worthy of its own article and could definitely answer all the questions the fans have about it but also he might want to keep it a mystery because that might be better than getting the answers but anyways I would love to see it in another piece of work.

This a great break down I love how comfortable you've been getting it might sound weird but it's good to finally see you showing your face

[@costlysing1185]

Considering it's referred to as 'activated' maybe that can lead into a tale of what our normal Prototype actually is or what is supposed to be, my theory it was supposed to be a God entity that meant to be what this 'activated version' is. However something seemed to have gone wrong and leaving us with this bizarre monster instead of a god.

[@sabriam]

I'm not sure it's ever been thoroughly depicted how unsettling this thing would be to look at, even without any abilities. Dozens of hands jerking constantly into distinct gestures, in sync, is nightmare fuel on its own.

[@IreneSalmakis]

I always imagined this being as the amalgamation of the suffering churned into the Body Pit; a horrible ghost in Emerson's death machine.

[@aliveandwellinisrael2507]

Yes! That's how I interpreted it. Either some embodiment of the anomalous, something that appeared to 'balance' all the anomalous possibilities that had been removed from the universe by the mass executions or just some amalgamation of all the anomalies that were destroyed in the same place.

[@fuckyounoonecaresaboutyouyoun-]

well everything in the body pit was eaten by that leech baby dude ellijah to create the big fucking worms

so it can t be that also it was being held before the body pit incident i mean it has chains with antikineto hazzards on them

I feel like this is where Jack's necklace went. Maybe before she set things in motion, she found his necklace and gave it to the monster or put it in its path. Would explain why it hated Emerson so much. Maybe Jack could not completely control it, but his hatred for the man seeped into it.

Oh, this thing. I've always wondered about that. He did a pretty good job building the atmosphere of site 13, using stuff like this.

I have a theory as to why Emmerson is being tortured by the creature for eternity. Perhaps Emmerson was just the person who captured it and it got angy and decided to punish him forever. Or perhaps Emmerson tried to kill the creature, and in retaliation, got chained to the creature.

Personally, if this is an activated version of the "prototype" proposal, the fact that there's two 001 entities in site-13 is actually quite disturbing. Not just because they're both clearly powerful entities, but that the alternative dimension actually managed two either find, or pull two 001s into the same reality.

I like to think it’s not so much a god of pain and suffering but of retribution and punishment towards those who’ve committed unimaginable crimes. The visions showed its realm, where it keeps its prisoners to suffer for what they’ve done.

Cool Video. It was definitely enjoyable to watch how you explain who or what MALIDRAMAGIUAN is. These types of videos could also be useful and helpful for future entities like Mekkhane, Yaddelboth, the Scarlet King, the Fifthism God/The Comisc Star Fish/SCP-3125 and potential others characters or creatures or species like the Daevites or Children of the Night and their accomplishments and appearance in other SCPs and Tales for in- and out-of-universe. P.S. There is also a connection to Kalinin's SCP-001 Proposal: Past and Future, where the MALIDRAMAGIUAN show vision to the MTFs which read : "Below us were humans, screaming, their arms ending at their wrists, crying to the silent sky for restitution, and then… the sky burned." -Yours truly Creative Evil-

Honestly, your argument is pretty sound. But, as you said, not only is this allusion to the prototype lack understanding, but the multiverse is an important element to consider. Since 1730 does come from another reality, maybe it came from a reality where itself was contained and bounded by Emerson's actions, or even worse, tortured by him. The SCP universe is dense and infinitely complex, but it is indeed fun to see where the questions take us.
