Which classification is used for anomalies that the Foundation uses to contain or counteract other SCPs or anomalous phenomena?

• A. Euclid-Class
• B. Keter-Class
• C. Thaumiel-Class
• D. Safe-Class

Answer: (C)

Thaumiel-class refers to anomalies that the Foundation uses to contain or counteract other SCPs or anomalous phenomena. These are containment tools or countermeasures—things the Foundation employs to manage the broader anomalous landscape, sometimes even leveraging the very anomaly to suppress or neutralize others. The other classifications describe how difficult it is to contain a given SCP (Safe is easily contained, Euclid is less predictable and requires more effort, and Keter is extremely hard and dangerous to confine). Thaumiel stands apart because its focus is on usefulness to containment itself, not on containment difficulty, which is why it’s the right choice for anomalies used to contain or counteract others.
