A Comprehensive List of Esoteric Classes
The Foundation's primary directive is to order the chaos of the anomalous by designating each with a four-digit number and a method of containment. One of the tools used to accomplish this is the Object Class, a method of parsing anomalies into groups based on the difficulty of containment. Full dossiers are available for archivists wishing to familiarize themselves.
Despite this, some anomalies warrant entirely new object classes beyond the standard Safe, Euclid, Keter, and sometimes even beyond Thaumiel, Neutralized, and Explained. These Esoteric Classes are exceedingly rare, and many are not viable for standard documentation due to their unique and specialized nature. The following lists serve as a collection of these highly esoteric classes.
A full list of all documents cataloged under "esoteric-class" is available here.
Several of the following classes are self-explanatory in nature; a definition of "Uncontained" will not be included, nor will a differentiation between "Debated" and "Currently debated". If an archivist creates a new esoteric class, they are free to update the list to reflect this in the following format.
||● Class||Definition (if necessary)||[[[SCP]]]||
If a definition or SCP is being added, follow the below formatting.
The ● serves to indicate the addition has not been verified. It will be manually removed to signify the attached class is valid. Please do not verify additions.

Subclasses
Some archivists have determined that the anomalies assigned to them do not totally conform to the standard definitions of Safe, Euclid, or Keter. As such, a subclass system has been created but rarely implemented.
Several of these classes lack established definitions; where this is the case, definitions have been inferred.
Question: What's the reason for the Latin?
Answer: The reason is "because I can get away with it and want to encourage people to experiment with Object Classes as they see fit, without discouraging people from continuing to use the standard object classes". And it is something new.
Question: Are these subclasses leading up to anything?
Answer: They lead up to me poking at people's irrational attachment to this arbitrary classification system. I care far more about discussion posts than rating, so if I don't feel that some part of a piece has any real connection to literary merit, I'll just do whatever gets people to make posts about it, even if it's not people's favorite thing.
So far, it's worked brilliantly :^)

Anomalous Esoteric Classes
The following classes are, generally, the results of infectious memetic agent and infohazards; personnel lacking a Cognitive Resistance Value (CRV) of 16.3 or greater are advised to read at their own risk.
Foreign Esoteric Classes
The Foundation is an international organization which employs researchers and archivists from almost every nation. The following are object classes created by non-English affiliates of the Foundation and initially organized by Researcher 
Ziakial.
If a foreign esoteric class falls into any of the following categories, it should not be included.
- Object class is the result of third-party manipulation, anomalous or otherwise.
- Object class is the extension of a previously-existing class, such as SCP-CN-266's "Extreme Keter" class.
- Object class is a subclass of a previously-existing class; add this to the Subclasses section.
Theoretical Esoteric Classes
The following classes have not been officially implemented in any form of documentation, but have been tentatively proposed.
| Class |

| Anatta |
Item is capable of causing a YK-End-of-the-Universe Scenario, or altering the universe in a detrimental manner. |
| Mild |
Item is almost completely safe to interact with unless handled in an irresponsible manner. |
| Truculent |
Item is dangerous and unpredictable. |
| Simpatico |
Item is unpredictable but not dangerous. |
| Yggdrasil |
Item is capable of causing a ZK-End-of-Reality Scenario, or altering reality in a detrimental manner. |
