SCP-178 was originally part of the Box of Horrors third-party mod for the game made by forum user Juanjpro. Taking SCP-178 off would cause the instances to disappear, however should the player have agitated the instances, they would continue to attack the player for a short period of time before ceasing their attack. Upon equipping it the player would start to perceive instances of SCP-178-1 around the facility. SCP-178 could be found inside its containment chamber, sitting atop a wooden podium. When worn, the wearer begins perceiving large bipedal entities in addition to its ordinary surroundings. The item exhibits no unusual physical properties apart from a slight discoloration of the cardboard consistent with age. SCP-178 is a pair of white stereoscopic glasses with a rectangular white cardboard frame and lenses of transparent blue and red plastic.
