Just gonna put an end to this. The only thing that can destroy SCP-682 is SCP-173. The story in question, however, deals with SCP-173 somehow gaining the ability to replicate itself, and it becomes smarter based on how many replicas exist. Now, in this story, a swarm of SCP-173 replicas manage to overrun and destroy SCP-682 entirely. The important thing to note is, even in this story, it doesn't necessarily mean that SCP-682 was killed, only that it's body was destroyed, and for all we know, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile regenerated itself into a state where it won't be noticed, out of fear of the one thing that managed to destroy it.

That is the one time it was destroyed. It's not canon by SCP standards, and it's also not clear on whether it was killed or if they just couldn't find the body. Any other time, it has found a way to avoid being killed.
