   Monsters are a very diverse race. They dwell in the Underground beneath Mount Ebott, while humans live on the surface beyond the Barrier. King Asgore Dreemurr rules all monsters in the Underground. After The War of Humans and Monsters, the humans from the Surface trapped the monsters underground. Despite the negative implication of the word "monsters," monsters are not an evil species. It is even said that monster SOULs are made of love, hope, and compassion. Monsters are far weaker than humans, both in physical combat and regarding the strength of their SOUL. This inadequacy is because monsters are mostly made of magic, which in turn makes them attuned to their SOUL. The damage a monster receives from an attacker is dependent on both the monster's will to fight and the attacker's will to hurt. Monsters, however, can obtain an "unfathomable" amount of power when they absorb the SOUL of a human. Monsters come in numerous shapes and sizes. Most monsters physically appear as anthropomorphic, non-human beings (animals, natural/artificial objects, supernatural beings, etc.), with the most notable species of monsters including skeletons like Sans and Papyrus, ghosts like Napstablook and Boss Monsters like Toriel and Asgore. Monsters SOULs are upside down and wholly white. A monster's body is mostly made of magic and is attuned to its SOUL. When a monster gets old, they enter a state referred to as having "fallen down." A monster in this state lies immobile and dies shortly afterward. When a monster dies, their body turns into dust. This dust is often spread onto the owner's favorite thing in funerals so that their essence lives on in their possessions. Monsters' bodies and SOULs are closely linked; when a monster dies, their SOUL is lost forever. Boss Monsters are an exception, as their SOULs exist outside their bodies for a few moments before shattering. Because of their magical nature, monsters' bodies cannot handle high concentrations of determination. When monsters are injected with it, their bodies liquefy and melt together. The Amalgamates are a clear example of this.

   The SOUL is the very essence of one's being, whether one is human or monster. A SOUL takes on the form of a heart. Human SOULs point down in most cases, and monster SOULs point up. A human SOUL and monster SOUL together can cross the Barrier, while seven human SOULs shatter it entirely. The SOUL of a monster is upside down and white. A monster's SOUL is weak and does not persist after death unless said monster is a Boss Monster. Monsters believe that love, hope, and compassion compose their SOULs. Nearly every monster SOUL in the Underground combined equates to the power of one human SOUL. A monster's SOUL is deeply attuned to their body. This is why a monster becomes weaker when an enemy gains EXP and LV, and why it becomes harder for monsters to fight when they are not inclined to do so. This trait is also why when a monster dies, their form dissipates as their SOUL disappears. Human SOULs come in several colors, representing different traits and are stronger than monsters' SOULs. For this reason, human SOULs persist after death. A human's SOUL is not the entirety of their being, but rather their essence, housed in a physical body. This is why humans are stronger than monsters when it comes to physical attacks. Alphys state that determination is a component of human SOULs, and she was able to extract it from the six fallen humans' SOULs. Due to determination, a human's SOUL is capable of maintaining its form after death. It requires the power of (almost) every monster SOUL to equate the strength and determination of a single human SOUL. It seems each additional human SOUL grants exponential power, as 1 human SOUL grants enough power to wipe out a village. Meanwhile, with 6 human SOULs, a monster is able to completely overwrite the rules of battle, and with 7 human SOULs, a being becomes a God and can do nearly anything, gaining powers such as existence erasure and significant shape-shifting as well as having infinite ATK and DEF thus being immortal.

   At the time, humans and monsters ruled the Earth. One day, humans attacked the monsters abruptly and mercilessly, out of fear of their only weakness: having their SOUL absorbed by a monster. Monsters were too weak to put up a fight; the SOUL of nearly every monster combined is only just as strong as the power of one human SOUL. Countless monsters were massacred, without a single human SOUL taken. Few monsters survived, one of which was Gerson. Eventually, the monsters surrendered, and the humans emerged victorious. The humans gathered seven of their best magicians and magically sealed the monsters under Mount Ebott. After the war, the monsters retreated into the deepest part of the Underground, which they called "Home." After a period had passed, fearing the humans no longer, they populated the rest of the Underground and made their capital in a place they called "New Home." Monsters mostly blamed the war on humanity and took a vengeful look at the human race. This bitterness, especially after the death of Asriel and his adopted sibling, led King Asgore to declare war against humanity, installing a policy to kill all humans that fell into the Underground and eradicate humans once the seven SOULs needed to break the barrier are collected.

   The Barrier is a strong magical force in Mount Ebott. It is locked by SOUL power and separates the Underground from the Surface. The barrier is located behind Asgore's throne Room in New Home, and appears to be a silent, endless room transiting from white to black. Somewhere within the floor are seven vials, six containing the six human SOULs. Due to the War, seven human magicians conjured it to protect humanity and keep monsters trapped in the Underground. Anything, including humans, can fall through the barrier and enter the Underground's Ruins, where Toriel generally finds them. However, only a being with the SOULs of a human and a monster can pass through the barrier and exit the Underground. The barrier can be broken, though it requires a huge amount of power equal to seven human SOULs, or six human SOULs and the SOULs of monsterkind. Only eight humans have fallen through the barrier. Beyond the barrier is a dark room with a sunlit patch of grass, and a purple arch depicting the Delta Rune.

   Asgore Dreemurr is the ruler of the Underground and its denizens, monsters. He plans to kill seven humans and use their SOULs to break the barrier that traps everyone Underground. However, he is not evil or malicious. Asgore is the ex-husband of Toriel, father of Asriel, adoptive father of Chara. Asgore is a Boss Monster with an intimidating stature. He has broad shoulders, a golden-blond mane, two large curved horns, and a beard. He wears a suit of armor, a purple cape with golden pauldrons - with its edge dragging along the ground slightly - and a small crown on top of his head. The weapon he uses in battle is a long, red trident adorned with a flower. Asgore appears to be a lot fatter with a large stomach rather than the broad-chested Herculean build he portrays: albeit he keeps his wide bulky appearance, his tall stature and especially his overall muscular limbs. This trick of appearance where Asgore seems more fit than he actually is likely fits into a common trope of fat characters sucking in their guts as an effort to look more intimidating, Asgore doing something similar by encasing himself in tight likely uncomfortable armor. Asgore is a kind and often quiet yet upbeat monster that enjoys gardening, Golden Flower Tea, and Toriel's Butterscotch Pie. Like his son, he speaks in southern slang (most notably "howdy" and "golly"). Monsters in the Underground look to Asgore for hope, and his plan to collect seven human SOULs is one of the few things that keep them going. However, Asgore does not want to kill anybody and feels so guilty that he offers the protagonist his SOUL to "leave this cursed place." Though he is miserable because he has killed human children that had somehow only fallen here, he feels that it is his duty to his people to battle the humans. Asgore lives in the past and wants nothing more than to see his wife and child again, even though they have been gone for a long time. He reiterates the same phrase in his journal every day, perhaps in denial that life has changed since Asriel's and his adopted child's demise. Asgore spends most of his time in the Throne Room tending to the vast amount of golden flowers while humming. Monsters also note that he is bad at naming places, with the names being quite literal (such as naming the monster's first home in the Underground "Home", and naming their new home "New Home"). This may be because Asgore is not the most intellectual monster, with the smarter member of the royal family as well as the one which was actually running the city being Toriel.

    Chujin Ketsukane was once a hard-working engineer for the many machines of the Steamworks and the deceased husband of Ceroba and father of Kanako Ketsukane. Chujin was a purple furred, anthropomorphic fox-like monster with brightly purple colored hair tied in a small ponytail. He wears large, circular, green glasses as well as a green montsuki with yellow accents. Chujin is said to have been a kindhearted and hard-working monster, and a good mentor. His philosophy was that even though monsterkind is in a bad spot, being sealed off from the surface, monsters can collectively make the Underground a better place through little acts of kindness. However, Chujin was very mistrustful of humans. He believed that humans are dangerous and they can not be trusted. This is largely due to a past incident in Snowdin, which involved a human attacking monsters. Specifically, this was the human child with the blue SOUL (Integrity), who had fallen into the Underground. They happened to attack a monster who was with Kanako, Chujin's daughter. Kanako herself was not hurt, but Chujin was shocked to hear the news nonetheless. He felt that his daughter could have died that day, and he wasn't there to protect her. This incident, coupled with the knowledge about the Great War between humans and monsters, is likely responsible for Chujin's attitude toward humans. Despite this, he laments the fact that one of his creations accidentally ended up killing a human, and appears to be very regretful. This shows that Chujin did not completely hate humans, and doesn't wish death upon them. Chujin is shown to have been arrogant and stubborn. He does not admit to his mistakes and hides his firing from Ceroba, as well as his plan involving a human SOUL from everyone until his death. He dedicates himself entirely to his work and uses his dying wish to burden Ceroba with finishing it, showing that he is very adamant about his plan being the key to saving monsterkind.

Should a monster acquire a high concentration of determination, their body melts, usually into an amalgamate. A being without a SOUL can gain the will to live if it acquires determination, a prime example being Flowey. Alphys started experimenting with determination extracted from human SOULs in an attempt to unleash the power of the SOUL. She used blueprints to operate the DT Extraction Machine to obtain determination and began injecting it into the bodies of monsters who had fallen down and a Golden Flower that as a result became Flowey.

The Steamworks is a large structure built on the precipice between eastern Hotland and the northeastern Dunes, connecting both areas. In general, the Dunes seem to be located deeper than Hotland. The Dunes, much like Hotland, are a scorched and arid region. Unlike Hotland, in which heat comes from an abundance of exposed magma in the area, the Dunes are arid due to a large amount of Swelterstones that can be found there, producing heat and light. A massive Swelterstone also functions as a sort of sun in the area, and can be clearly seen from the mountaintop. The Dunes are rich in minerals and other important materials. As such, the East Mines is set up in the Dunes, operated by Mining Co.

    The Underground is a large region within Mount Ebott that is separated from the Surface of the Earth. It houses the kingdom of Monsters, who are ruled by King Asgore, and formerly by his ex-wife, Toriel. The Underground has varying terrain and climates, and features five main areas: the Ruins, the frigid and wintery Snowdin, the marshy and cavernous Waterfall, the blistery and barren Hotland, and the Capital. The Underground's exit is blocked by the Barrier, which was placed by the Humans long ago. Anything and anyone can enter the Underground by descending into Mount Ebott. After the Humans defeated the Monsters in The War, the losing faction was banished into the Underground. A Barrier was erected to prevent the insiders from leaving, though outsiders could still freely enter. Wary of humans, monsters retreated into the Ruins and adapted Home as their first capital, living normal lives in the Underground from then on. Additionally, the Ruins was structured to contain diversions in the form of puzzles. One day, the first human ascended Mt. Ebott and tripped on a vine, causing them to fall inside and enter the Underground. The human was discovered by Asriel Dreemurr, the son of Asgore and Toriel, and was adopted into their family. Chara's presence brought hope to monsters. Eventually, no longer fearing humans, monsters ventured outside of the Ruins, populated the rest of the Underground, and made New Home their new capital. In contrast to Home, some monsters were content to settle at different locations than in New Home. From Waterfall, monsters acquired modern technology and discarded items from the Surface. At some point, the CORE was created by W. D. Gaster to convert electric power for the entirety of the Underground. Snowdin's blocks of ice is utilized to help keep the CORE from overheating. However, one day, the Chara grew ill and requested to see the flowers in their home village. After they died, Asriel absorbed their SOUL and became a powerful entity that was able to cross the Barrier. He carried their corpse to the center of the human's village, which had a patch of Golden Flowers. The humans attacked Asriel, under the assumption that he had killed the human child. Refusing to retaliate, he returned to the Underground with Chara's corpse and died in New Home's garden where he succumbed to his wounds. Since then, Asgore became vengeful for his son and plotted to escape the Underground and declare another war against humans. He declared all humans who fall into the Underground be killed and their SOULs collected; with seven human SOULs, the Barrier could be shattered. However, the brutality of this decision disgusted Toriel enough that she relinquished her position as queen as well as her marriage to Asgore. Asgore continued to rule the land on his own while Toriel exiled herself into the Ruins. Over time, five more humans fell into the Underground, all of which Toriel tried to shelter and care for. However, they all eventually left the Ruins and were eventually killed, their SOULs collected by Asgore.

    Humans as a whole are seen as evil by monsters, especially since Asgore declared to kill any human who enters the Underground. However, this negative per-view can be subjected to change. And most monsters do not know what a human looks like.

    Human bodies are composed of physical matter, as opposed to monsters' more magical bodies. Because of this, human SOULs are not attuned to their bodies like monsters are. This trait allows their SOULs to persist after death. The physicality of human bodies also allows humans to carry higher concentrations of determination than a monster.

    Monsters are a very diverse race. They dwell in the Underground beneath Mount Ebott, while humans live on the surface beyond the Barrier.

    King Asgore Dreemurr rules all monsters in the Underground. After The War of Humans and Monsters, the humans from the Surface trapped the monsters underground. Despite the negative implication of the word "monsters," monsters are not an evil species. It is even said that monster SOULs are made of love, hope, and compassion.

    Monsters are far weaker than humans, both in physical combat and regarding the strength of their SOUL. This inadequacy is because monsters are mostly made of magic, which in turn makes them attuned to their SOUL. The damage a monster receives from an attacker is dependent on both the monster's will to fight and the attacker's will to hurt. Monsters, however, can obtain an "unfathomable" amount of power when they absorb the SOUL of a human.

    Monsters come in numerous shapes and sizes. Most monsters physically appear as anthropomorphic, non-human beings (animals, natural/artificial objects, supernatural beings, etc.), with the most notable species of monsters including skeletons like Sans and Papyrus, ghosts like Napstablook and Boss Monsters like Toriel and Asgore. Monsters SOULs are upside down and wholly white.

    A monster's body is mostly made of magic and is attuned to its SOUL. When a monster gets old, they enter a state referred to as having "fallen down." A monster in this state lies immobile and dies shortly afterward. When a monster dies, their body turns into dust. This dust is often spread onto the owner's favorite thing in funerals so that their essence lives on in their possessions. Monsters' bodies and SOULs are closely linked; when a monster dies, their SOUL is lost forever. Boss Monsters are an exception, as their SOULs exist outside their bodies for a few moments before shattering.

    Because of their magical nature, monsters' bodies cannot handle high concentrations of determination. When monsters are injected with it, their bodies liquefy and melt together. The Amalgamates are a clear example of this.

    The SOUL is the very essence of one's being, whether one is human or monster. A SOUL takes on the form of a heart. Human SOULs point down in most cases, and monster SOULs point up.

    A human SOUL and monster SOUL together can cross the Barrier, while seven human SOULs shatter it entirely.

    The SOUL of a monster is upside down and white. A monster's SOUL is weak and does not persist after death unless said monster is a Boss Monster. Monsters believe that love, hope, and compassion compose their SOULs. Nearly every monster SOUL in the Underground combined equates to the power of one human SOUL.

    A monster's SOUL is deeply attuned to their body. This is why a monster becomes weaker when an enemy gains EXP and LV, and why it becomes harder for monsters to fight when they are not inclined to do so. This trait is also why when a monster dies, their form dissipates as their SOUL disappears.

    Human SOULs come in several colors, representing different traits and are stronger than monsters' SOULs. For this reason, human SOULs persist after death.

    A human's SOUL is not the entirety of their being, but rather their essence, housed in a physical body. This is why humans are stronger than monsters when it comes to physical attacks. Alphys state that determination is a component of human SOULs, and she was able to extract it from the six fallen humans' SOULs. Due to determination, a human's SOUL is capable of maintaining its form after death.

    It requires the power of (almost) every monster SOUL to equate the strength and determination of a single human SOUL. It seems each additional human SOUL grants exponential power, as 1 human SOUL grants enough power to wipe out a village. Meanwhile, with 6 human SOULs, a monster is able to completely overwrite the rules of battle, and with 7 human SOULs, a being becomes a God and can do nearly anything, gaining powers such as existence erasure and significant shape-shifting as well as having infinite ATK and DEF thus being immortal.

    At the time, humans and monsters ruled the Earth. One day, humans attacked the monsters abruptly and mercilessly, out of fear of their only weakness: having their SOUL absorbed by a monster.

    Monsters were too weak to put up a fight; the SOUL of nearly every monster combined is only just as strong as the power of one human SOUL. Countless monsters were massacred, without a single human SOUL taken. Few monsters survived, one of which was Gerson. Eventually, the monsters surrendered, and the humans emerged victorious. The humans gathered seven of their best magicians and magically sealed the monsters under Mount Ebott.

    After the war, the monsters retreated into the deepest part of the Underground, which they called "Home." After a period had passed, fearing the humans no longer, they populated the rest of the Underground and made their capital in a place they called "New Home."

    Monsters mostly blamed the war on humanity and took a vengeful look at the human race. This bitterness, especially after the death of Asriel and his adopted sibling, led King Asgore to declare war against humanity, installing a policy to kill all humans that fell into the Underground and eradicate humans once the seven SOULs needed to break the barrier are collected.

    Mount Ebott is a mountain on the Surface of the Earth. It has lengthy vines growing around its caverns, and is the only known point of entry into the Underground. Starting from the year 201X, Seven Humans fell through Mt. Ebott's barrier and entered the Underground's Ruins.

    The Barrier is a strong magical force in Mount Ebott. It is locked by SOUL power and separates the Underground from the Surface. The barrier is located behind Asgore's throne Room in New Home, and appears to be a silent, endless room transiting from white to black. Somewhere within the floor are seven vials, six containing the six human SOULs.

    Due to the War, seven human magicians conjured it to protect humanity and keep monsters trapped in the Underground. Anything, including humans, can fall through the barrier and enter the Underground's Ruins, where Toriel generally finds them. However, only a being with the SOULs of a human and a monster can pass through the barrier and exit the Underground. The barrier can be broken, though it requires a huge amount of power equal to seven human SOULs, or six human SOULs and the SOULs of monsterkind. Only eight humans have fallen through the barrier.

    Beyond the barrier is a dark room with a sunlit patch of grass, and a purple arch depicting the Delta Rune.

    Asgore Dreemurr is the ruler of the Underground and its denizens, monsters. He plans to kill seven humans and use their SOULs to break the barrier that traps everyone Underground. However, he is not evil or malicious. Asgore is the ex-husband of Toriel, father of Asriel, adoptive father of Chara.

    Asgore is a Boss Monster with an intimidating stature. He has broad shoulders, a golden-blond mane, two large curved horns, and a beard. He wears a suit of armor, a purple cape with golden pauldrons - with its edge dragging along the ground slightly - and a small crown on top of his head. The weapon he uses in battle is a long, red trident adorned with a flower. Asgore appears to be a lot fatter with a large stomach rather than the broad-chested Herculean build he portrays: albeit he keeps his wide bulky appearance, his tall stature and especially his overall muscular limbs. This trick of appearance where Asgore seems more fit than he actually is likely fits into a common trope of fat characters sucking in their guts as an effort to look more intimidating, Asgore doing something similar by encasing himself in tight likely uncomfortable armor.

    Asgore is a kind and often quiet yet upbeat monster that enjoys gardening, Golden Flower Tea, and Toriel's Butterscotch Pie. Like his son, he speaks in southern slang (most notably "howdy" and "golly").

    Monsters in the Underground look to Asgore for hope, and his plan to collect seven human SOULs is one of the few things that keep them going. However, Asgore does not want to kill anybody and feels so guilty that he offers the protagonist his SOUL to "leave this cursed place." Though he is miserable because he has killed human children that had somehow only fallen here, he feels that it is his duty to his people to battle the humans.

    Asgore lives in the past and wants nothing more than to see his wife and child again, even though they have been gone for a long time. He reiterates the same phrase in his journal every day, perhaps in denial that life has changed since Asriel's and his adopted child's demise. Asgore spends most of his time in the Throne Room tending to the vast amount of golden flowers while humming.

    Monsters also note that he is bad at naming places, with the names being quite literal (such as naming the monster's first home in the Underground "Home", and naming their new home "New Home"). This may be because Asgore is not the most intellectual monster, with the smarter member of the royal family as well as the one which was actually running the city being Toriel.

She wears a long purple robe with white sleeves and the Delta Rune on the chest. Toriel can also be seen with reading glasses, when reading a book on snail facts.

    Toriel is a kind monster that acts as a protective mother figure for the human children that falls into the Underground. She is sincere in expressing her love through words and actions, such as when she was married to Asgore. She employs tough love on the protagonist and Asgore. Toriel cares for children and was excited to become a mother.

Upon creating the CORE, his experiments led to him accidentally falling into the CORE and entering the void where he spent ages in despair while observing the timeline shattered across time and space. His existence had almost been entirely wiped out from everyone's memories except for a select few.

    Chujin was a purple furred, anthropomorphic fox-like monster with brightly purple colored hair tied in a small ponytail. He wears large, circular, green glasses as well as a green montsuki with yellow accents.

    Chujin is said to have been a kindhearted and hard-working monster, and a good mentor. His philosophy was that even though monsterkind is in a bad spot, being sealed off from the surface, monsters can collectively make the Underground a better place through little acts of kindness.

    However, Chujin was very mistrustful of humans. He believed that humans are dangerous and they can not be trusted. This is largely due to a past incident in Snowdin, which involved a human attacking monsters. Specifically, this was the human child with the blue SOUL (Integrity), who had fallen into the Underground. They happened to attack a monster who was with Kanako, Chujin's daughter. Kanako herself was not hurt, but Chujin was shocked to hear the news nonetheless. He felt that his daughter could have died that day, and he wasn't there to protect her. This incident, coupled with the knowledge about the Great War between humans and monsters, is likely responsible for Chujin's attitude toward humans.

    Despite this, he laments the fact that one of his creations accidentally ended up killing a human, and appears to be very regretful. This shows that Chujin did not completely hate humans, and doesn't wish death upon them.

    Chujin is shown to have been arrogant and stubborn. He does not admit to his mistakes and hides his firing from Ceroba, as well as his plan involving a human SOUL from everyone until his death. He dedicates himself entirely to his work and uses his dying wish to burden Ceroba with finishing it, showing that he is very adamant about his plan being the key to saving monsterkind.

She has yellow scales, claws, and two protruding teeth. Her feet have three toes while there are three fingers and a thumb on each of her hands. Her "hair" is designed into points facing the back of her head. She normally wears round glasses and a white lab coat. Her glasses do not cover her eyelashes.

    Alphys is a shy introvert who frequently stutters when she converses. She has low self-esteem, makes self-deprecating comments, and devalues her skills at times. True to her role as a scientist, Alphys is intelligent, analytical, and observant. She occasionally theorizes on matters, and can create thorough plans from them. She can create inventions that use metal and magic, such as a "magical spear repair kit." Alphys is adept in programming, robotics, and mechanical engineering. She is agile when she works a project, and has formal writing when documenting her research.

    Alphys is passionate in her work and interests. She often gets excited when sharing her opinions. Alphys's hobbies include enjoying human anime, manga, and video games. Alphys is also fond of shipping, writing fanfiction, posting online content, and writing walkthroughs for games. For the latter, Alphys prefers giving solutions as a last resort.

    Alphys has multiple crushes on of male and female genders. Some of them are mild, such as her crush on Asgore and her compliments towards Toriel, while her most serious crush is Undyne, though she struggles to communicate her feelings.

    Alphys is filled with guilt and insecurities from her accomplishments and failures. Due to this, she has a tendency to procrastinate and write informally. Socially, Alphys tends to be avoidant and anxious. She also favors being appealing to others and resorts to lying to avoid disappointing herself and others.

    Mettaton is a robot with a SOUL, whose body was built by Alphys. He is the sole television star of the Underground. Mettaton poses as an entertainment robot turned human killing robot in Hotland.

    Mettaton originally appears as a gray, largely rectangular box with a 4x5 grid of rectangular lights at the top. The grid of lights can change colors between red, yellow, green, and blue, and Mettaton uses these color changes in place of facial expressions. He has four dials along the bottom of his body, and the bottom, he has a single leg which ends in a wheel. He has two segmented robotic arms which end in white gloves.

    In his EX form, he takes a humanoid form. He has black hair with a long fringe that seems to cover his right eye, pale "skin" and visible metal segments below and above his left eye. He has a pink chest piece, a narrow metallic waist with a box contraption, and black shoulder pads above his segmented arms, which end in gloves. The chest piece has what appear to be a speaker and some knob or gauge, while the waist has two parts that seem to act as a locking mechanism that holds his "heart-shaped core," as they both lose white pixels during his "heart-to-heart" attack. His long black-clad legs end in pink high-heeled boots.

    Mettaton is a confident, charismatic, and charming TV host that loves drama, action, and violence. He lives for his ratings and adores performing. He supposedly strikes a pose when he does something wrong and makes time on his various shows to beat up "heel-turning villains." He shows a rather shallow appreciation for existence at times. He has a strong craving for attention and seems very egotistical, shown when he boasts about the beauty of his true form. However, despite his seemingly self-centered personality, he deeply cares about the seemingly positive impact his show has had on the inhabitants of the Underground. He has also shown soft spots for several characters, such as Alphys and Napstablook. He also appears to be among the fewer characters in the Underground that has no hate or prejudice against humans despite knowing about the monsters' history with them, saying that he has no desire to hurt humans and is far more interested in simply entertaining.

    On the flip side, he has also been noted to be a very demanding boss who is very unpleasant to work for, especially according to Burgerpants, who initially considered working for him a dream, but has since grown to strongly despise him.
