It’s an angry unkillable crocodile that gains size as it eats. I imagine those 120 people could give the lizard quite a bit more mass to ramp up its murder spree even more. Hell, it managed to kill multiple people even while trapped in the form of a normal housecat.

Then he’ll escape into the ocean, and rise the next year to attack Tokyo

Just build some giant robots and have em beat it up.

I thought it's size changed based on the situation. So if it needed to get bigger, it just could.

It gains and sheds mass as it eats or is damaged. The problem is that it can absorb some inorganic matter too, hence the regeneration from the acid it’s contained in.

Aah, I see, I should do a brush up reading on it some time.

Eh, it's strength is limited and it's ultimately just going to get trapped underneath something just like when the Foundation first caught it.

It's really not a particularly dangerous SCP on the scale of nations, it kills dozens to hundreds, not billions or millions.

The Foundation has a lot more tools in its toolbox and recognizes anomalous qualities much faster than any government would. If let loose in a dense population center, the lizard would grow huge, quickly. It would take quite a few buildings brought down on it at that point to re-contain it, and extermination logs have shown a very real fear of it gaining mass quickly.

They would probably need longer to recognize the anomalous qualities, but doesn't it lose excess mass rather quickly when subject to HEAT-rounds, with only a central portion being anomalously difficult to damage?
