Allow me to express thanks to SpectralDragon, SunnyClockwork, Waterfire, Shio, mlister, Bluemopho, and Shaggydredlocks for looking through the draft.
This article features the following:
- Lunar Area-32 by Jack Ike
- SCP-2686 (Moon Wizard) by Wogglebug
- LTE-2712-Bosch by Shaggydredlocks
Reality was warped from a previous version (that has Norse mythology as real) to the current one, where it is only a myth. The moon god has his essence become part of the physical moon. A wolf becomes scaled down to something more appropriate in the current reality.
The ten beams of light were the source of the reality shift, based on the Swords of Xuanyuan inSCP-2481 – a weapon that reduced the Xia Empire into semi-mythical status. Perhaps it affected more than just Xia? Perhaps it was not the first time the weapon was used?
Awww I kind of liked the idea that the Norse gods were all just really small.
It's more like Hati was shrunk down to be more on par with a normal wolf. If it were in the setting before the beams of light, Hati would be monstrously large.
Now, the Norse gods conform to the logic of the current world – and wolfs cannot be gigantic.
But frankly, I came up with that part since it was deemed unrealistic to contain a giant wolf underneath the Moon.
A. I like this
B. Super upset because I was drafting a very similar article. Dammit.
You know, I was just thinking we needed more Norse mythology. Well done. +1
Situation normal, Cap'n! Spiraling out of control!
We really should just let the talking wolf eat the entire moon and see what happens
1. He can't beat Moon Wizard.
2. Suddenly Wolf Gut Snakes at the White House.
Maybe?
Wasn't there a skip with King Arthur on the moon too?
E: I was thinking ofSCP-2824.
Situation normal, Cap'n! Spiraling out of control!
I really enjoyed the interview but the rest of the article felt very lacking. If you're going for a mythological figure then surely you can do better than two paragraphs of basic description. I mean this entity has apparently been on the moon for thousands of years and there's no mention of previous sightings, evidence of itself left behind on the surface or anything at all.
Phrases like how it ceased hostility without first establishing that there was hostility and the line about its speech make the article feel slapdash. Sometimes it feels like there's an insinuation of it being outside of containment but that's not built upon and makes the whole piece feel unclear. Also, there's no real established reason as to why they were feeding him in the first place so that makes me think it was just there to have as a plot point in the interview. How can it have a preference for moon rocks if it doesn't eat anything else? Why did they decide giving a wolf rocks to eat would be a good idea?
You might have been trying to go for short n sweet but it just comes across as inconsistent and stunted. I like the interview but the rest is not ready for prime time. -1
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!

I do have a sequence for how that worked out. The wolf did not attack personnel who are not exposed to moon soil, but attacked those exposed to it. From there, they tried moon soil and realised it ate the moon soil.
That feels a bit contrived, I would prefer some sort of behavior observation or other method by which you could characterize the entity through the description. Also, if this is a normal wolf, how exactly does it consume rocks? Swallowing them whole, pounding them into dust, biting out of it like an apple? Again, the article feels like there are one or twelve too many corners cut outside of the interview. Why would the Foundation get to the conclusion of feeding it moon rocks, then continue feeding it moon rocks if they knew it didn't sustenance to survive?

Valid point raised. I updated it such that the moon rocks are to keep the SCP compliant, after having probed its eating habits and figuring out that moon rocks are highly likely to keep it not taking out its aggression on the moon base.
Okay I totally did not realize what the ten beams of light are and now I feel foolish XD Either way, I'm glad that's a thing.
Great job! +1
Additionally, it is sapient and able to speak Old West Norse.
This sticks out really badly.
Ugh. I kind of just glazed over a huge chunk of the article because I don't know shit from fuck w/r/t Norse mythos. I feel like I'm missing a lot here? No vote, this could definitely stand to be friendlier to someone who doesn't know Norse mythology, but maybe I'm weird for not getting this.
if your reading this your gay
Skoll and Hati are why the sun and moon move through the sky; they're being chased by wolves. Their father is Fenrir, a wolf who is destined to eat Odin Allfather and was cruelly bound in a chain made of things that don't exist. HIS father is Loki Liesmith, scapegoat of the gods.
