I can't be the only one to of thought about this.

Keter class is made for the most dangerous scps and the smarter ones. 096 is not smart so he is an euclid.

Yeah, makes sense since SCP-096 shows no signs of higher brain function according to it's article.

Because object classes are based on the difficulty of containment, NOT the danger the SCP poses.

Well, once someone views it's face, it is impossible to contain until the viewer(s) are dead. Although easy to contain otherwise, I wonder why that doesn't effect it.

The foundation just needs to shove ‘im into a box and make sure that so one sees his face?

I mean, to put it simply, kind of. But if it were to to breach, and one live camera were to show its face...

actually it's more safe more than anything

XK-class scenario

He won't attack unless you look at him so it's easy to avoid that... 682 however... He'll just kill ya...

let met explain to you with the box test.
if you put the scp in a box, and it:
doesn’t escape - safe i. e. 999
might escape under a certain circumstance (aka 096) - euclid i. e. 049
will escape - keter i. e. 106
is the box - thaumiel
will escape and the world is dead when it does - apollyon
here you go!

Yeah, I've heard of the box test, I guess I just didn't fully understand it.

a few more sub-classifications:
is dead anyways - neutralised
we know why it does what it does to the box/can b explained with science - explained
when not assembled, not a danger - maskur
can be put in box, but shouldn’t - archon
can’t but put in the box ethically/logically - cerunnos
the box and the scp are one scp - hiemal
doesn’t need to be put in the box - ticonderoga
can be contained by war? (not sure about this one) - tiamat

on tiamat, that is basically can be contained by war against it, aka veil-breaking operations

It's easy to contain

because hes kinda easy to contain its about their level of dificulty of containment so there not the danger level otherwise scp 001 would be the highest class

Well, there is no official 001, at least to my knowledge. It is only a bunch of submissions for what it could be as it is supposed to be an extreme top secret.

Because it's relatively easy to contain, it just can't be seen
If it breaches containment then they just have to evacuate some towns

I can see that.
