SCP-1471 is a 2013 SCP Foundation wiki entry about MalO ver. 1.0.0, a cursed freeware app whose users get stalked by a humanoid called SCP-1471-A with a canid skull and long black hair.

Where did SCP-1471 come from?

SCP wiki user LurkD submitted the article on February 23, 2013, using a black-and-white edit of a Halloween costume photo DeviantArt user tarangryph had posted on October 31, 2011.

What does SCP-1471 mean?

In canon, SCP-1471 is the Foundation designation for the MalO app itself, while SCP-1471-A refers to the canid-skulled entity the app conjures around its users. In fan use, the number is shorthand for the waifu character herself.

How do you use SCP-1471?

Fan posts typically draw SCP-1471-A as a wholesome partner character in /r/DankMemesFromSite19 gag strips, often paired with Dr. Bright, or redraw her as a furry subject on DeviantArt and FurAffinity.

Is SCP-1471 still popular?

She is a classic SCP waifu with a steady fan art presence on DeviantArt, FurAffinity and SCP subreddits like /r/DankMemesFromSite19, though she is no longer a trending format.

Published October 22, 2026

SCP-1471, also known as MalO, debuted on the SCP Foundation wiki in February 2013 as a creepypasta about a cursed phone app that stalks users with photos of a canid-skulled humanoid1. By the late 2010s, fans had reframed the character as a wholesome waifu in /r/DankMemesFromSite19 gag comics and in furry fan art on DeviantArt and FurAffinity3.

Overview

SCP-1471 is written as a Euclid-class anomaly tied to a freeware mobile app called MalO ver. 1.0.0, which advertises itself with the slogan about never being alone again1. Anyone who installs it starts receiving photos of SCP-1471-A, a tall humanoid with a canine skull and long black hair, first in neutral spots and later in places the user recently visited1. After roughly 90 hours, the subject begins seeing the figure in reflections and peripheral vision, and the effect is irreversible1.

Although the original entry reads as straight horror, the SCP community flipped the tone over time. Fans on /r/DankMemesFromSite19 draw MalO as a shy girlfriend-coded character and run gag strips in which other Foundation anomalies get jealous of her fan base3. A separate thread of fan output on DeviantArt and FurAffinity treats SCP-1471-A as a furry lewding subject, with Urban Dictionary entries half-joking that she is the SCP fandom's icon of furry trash4. The split between canon dread and fan softness is most of why the character keeps generating art years after the entry went up.

User LurkD submitted the SCP-1471 article to the SCP Foundation wiki on February 23, 2013, classifying it as Euclid1. The entry details MalO ver. 1.0.0, a freeware app available in online stores that installs silently and leaves no shortcut on the device, then begins pushing photos of SCP-1471-A to the user every few hours1. The containment procedures note that exposure past 90 hours causes permanent visualizations of the entity in reflective surfaces and peripheral vision1.

The accompanying image is a black-and-white edit of a photograph DeviantArt user tarangryph posted on October 31, 2011, titled "Don't open the door…"2. The original shot shows tarangryph wearing a costume of Breynz the Zombie Werewolf, which LurkD cropped and desaturated to produce the gaunt figure now associated with MalO2. KYM credits tarangryph as the uncredited visual source behind the character design3.

How It Spread

After the February 2013 posting, SCP-1471 picked up a quiet reputation inside the SCP wiki community before migrating to Reddit, where /r/DankMemesFromSite19 made MalO one of its recurring waifu characters3. A frequent gag format on the subreddit frames other SCPs as jealous of MalO's fan following, often with Dr. Bright cast as her obsessive admirer3. KYM highlights these threads as the main vector that pushed the character into general SCP meme circulation3.

Outside Reddit, fan artists on DeviantArt and FurAffinity turned SCP-1471-A into a frequent lewding subject within the furry community, and the /r/SCPorn subreddit aggregated examples3. Urban Dictionary entries from users complaining about the volume of SCP-1471 NSFW art confirm the character's status in the furry corner of SCP fandom4. The original DeviantArt photograph by tarangryph is still linked by fans as the uncredited design source2.

How to Use This Meme

Fan posts typically take one of two routes. The wholesome track draws SCP-1471-A as a bashful partner, often paired with a human researcher or with Dr. Bright, a recurring Foundation scientist character used in the DankMemesFromSite19 running joke where he flirts with the creature3. The lewd track, common on FurAffinity and DeviantArt, redraws the canid skull and black hair as a feminized furry character and posts the result to NSFW galleries or /r/SCPorn4. Both styles typically keep the skull, the hood or robe, and the long dark hair as identifying features.
