SPAMTON

Spamton, full name Spamton G. Spamton, is a Darkner from the Cyber World. He is initially encountered in Cyber City, where he is fought as a miniboss. He is likely based on spam emails and adverts.

If Kris helps him enter the Queen's Mansion's basement (either through the LoadedDisk or freezing Berdly), he transforms into Spamton NEO, which serves as Chapter 2's bonus boss on a normal route and the main antagonist and final boss of the Chapter 2 Snowgrave Route. As a bonus boss, he holds one of the Shadow Crystals.

Shop

After his battle, he appears as a shopkeeper in the Trash Zone. His shop is unusual in that his items are not what they appear, and their prices fluctuate rapidly while looking at them. He is also the only shopkeeper that the party cannot sell items to, with the "SELL" option being replaced with "BUYMORE!!" His wares are:

KeyGen for 0-49030 Kromer/D$ S.POISON for 50-150 Kromer/D$ (sold as "S. POTION") Broken Sword for 50-150 Kromer/D$ (sold as "THE BIG ONE") Frayed Bowtie for 50-150 Kromer/D$ (sold as "BSHOT BOWTIE") Profile

Appearance

Spamton appears as a diminutive puppet and ex-Addison that wears yellow and pink glasses that sometimes change colors and a long-sleeved black V-neck shirt, with black hair that is slicked back, appearing similar to a pompadour. Oddly. enough, he bares noticeable resemblance to Swatch.

After becoming Spamton NEO, Spamton assumes the form of the machine he inhabits. The body of this form looks like a disheveled Mettaton NEO with a gaudy pink and yellow color scheme, and a laser cannon mounted onto his hand. Countless green wires suspend him in the air. His pink and yellow glass colors swap places. He also grows bat wings, one side being green, lilac, and purple, the other being yellow, pink, and magenta, and has teal-green and grey thumbs.

Swatch mentions that many people have failed to imitate his look, and some people have even gone so far as to impersonate him. Spamton's slick black hair, multicolored glasses, pointy white face and black suit are noticeably similar to Swatch's outfit, and Spamton admits to it during a live Q&A during the Spamton Sweepstakes.[1]

Spamton's design seems to be based on a number of popular depictions of puppets, having the face and style of dress seen on classic ventriloquist dummies with a (nonlengthening) nose similar to Pinocchio's. This is also hinted at in his Spamton NEO form when he refers to himself as a puppet, and with the song "A Real Boy!"

Spamton has the ability to increase the size of his head. In his NEO form, his head is constantly larger than usual.

Personality

Spamton was once a natural salesman, always willing to cut a deal. While he still bears a shadow of these traits, his deals are now often nonsensical or violent. He claims that he became a salesman not for the money, but for the freedom to make his own deals. However, he still attempts to scam Kris for money (which he refers to as "Kromer") at every opportunity. His speech patterns are similar to typical obfuscated spam email text, with many words replaced with non sequitur variants in square brackets that could imply incorrectly-applied mail merge variables or hyperlinks, or various voice glitches.

In much of his dialogue, he seems desperate and mentally unwell, seemingly projecting himself onto Kris, contradicting himself, and saying things which make little sense, without warning. This mental instability seems to clear up briefly after fighting him in his NEO form, as he wishes Kris success with their journey without using broken English.

Spamton consistently spells "generosity" as "genorisity," "guarantee" as "guaranttee," "delicious" as "delisis," and "special" as "specil," with an exception for the latter at the end of the Spamton NEO battle after snapping all the wires.

Main Story

History

Some time before Kris and Susie entered the Cyber World, Spamton existed as an unsuccessful spam email Addison, overlooked by Lightners and never able to catch a break.[2] Despite his lack of success, he always proclaimed to his fellow Addisons that he would be a "big shot" one day.[3]

Desperate, Spamton began to look for any way to become more popular. Eventually, he came into contact via phone with someone who could help him, and suddenly he began to be wildly successful. From that point on, Spamton was "on the phone all the time," being aided by an unknown person.[4] His fellow Addisons became jealous of him for his sudden success, and stopped going out with him.[5] His success landed him his own room at the Queen's Mansion, and he began to brag more and more about his deals, ranging from TV commercials to cars.[6]

Then, as sudden as his success was, it came crashing down. The stranger helping Spamton vanished, and all his sales went with them.[6] Desperate, Spamton started spending all of his time "praying" in the basement, where he found a "crystal in [an] old machine" and became obsessed with an "artifact" (the artifact either being the machine or the crystal itself).[7][8] This machine was created by an unknown Lightner with the help of Swatch and was a digital visualization of their hopes and dreams. However, those dreams never came to be, and the machine was abandoned in the basement with the rest of the corrupted data.[9]

With nothing left, Spamton was to be evicted from the Queen's mansion. The day of his eviction, one of the Addisons went to visit Spamton, but found he had already left. Spamton had left his phone hanging off the handle. Spamton presumably left in the middle of a conversation, as the Addison could hear someone on the other end, but after putting the phone to their ear it only made "garbage noise."[10] Likewise, Kris's Cell Phone only makes garbage noise when used in the Dark World.

Abandoned by all of his friends, Spamton was reduced to living in a dumpster in a Cyber City alleyway.[11] Despite his fall from grace, the Color Cafe in Queen's Mansion continued to sell his trademark bowtie, albeit with the brand name cut off.

At some point, someone (presumed to be Spamton) attempted to impersonate Swatch by mimicking his monochrome suit and colored glasses, in order to obtain something (presumed to be the NEO machine).[12] Additionally, somebody (presumed to be Spamton) attempted to commission Sweet Cap'n Cakes to sneak into the Queen's Mansion (presumably to grant him access to the machine), but they declined;[13] Spamton later convinces Kris to do likewise.

After asking him about friends, he brings up an individual named Mike. When talking about Mike, Spamton tells Kris not to trust what they hear on TV because "THE MAN'S A CRIMINAL."[14] Spamton also exclaims "ARE YOU GETTING ALL THIS [Mike]!?" at the end of his NEO fight if he is defeated violently, implying Mike may have recorded for Spamton in some capacity in the past.[15]

Chapter 2

Normal Route

Spamton is first encountered by Kris in Cyber City, where Kris seemingly disturbs the garbage container in which Spamton is residing. After a short interaction, Spamton engages Kris in combat as he continues attempting to convince them to accept his "deal."

Later, if Spamton was defeated through mercy, he can be seen again in a shop to the left of the Trash Zone. After Kris accepts yet another deal, he tasks Kris with bringing him an Empty Disk located in a basement in the Queen's Mansion. After purchasing a KeyGen from Spamton, Kris can retrieve the EmptyDisk from the machine in the dilapidated basement. Upon returning to Spamton's shop, Spamton proposes his final deal to Kris: transmitting Spamton through the EmptyDisk and returning it to the machine in the basement.

After Kris places the LoadedDisk back into the machine, Spamton transforms into Spamton NEO, much to his delight and excitement, but is horrified to see that his new form is held up by literal puppet strings. He attacks Kris in an attempt to obtain their SOUL, believing that it is the key to earning his "freedom." Before he can, however, Susie and Ralsei enter the room, and Susie interrupts him by using her Rude Buster spell to knock him out of the way, leading Spamton NEO to launch the three into carts, and battle the party for all of their SOULs.

Spamton NEO can be defeated either by fighting or by cutting the wires controlling him. If he is defeated by fighting, he attempts to continue the fight by turning into "Spamton EX," but his gravely damaged body explodes as he attempts to transform. If the party cuts all of his wires until one remains, Spamton NEO realizes that Kris is trying to free him in spite of his efforts to kill them. He dances gleefully and thanks them, asking them to cut the last wire, only for him to helplessly fall to the ground without any strings to hold him up.

No matter the method, once he is defeated, Spamton returns to his normal form, becomes calm and lucid, and starts speaking normally. He laments how he could not become anything more than a puppet, but compliments the party's strength and wishes them well. He then offers himself to the party, transforming into either a Dealmaker (when defeated by cutting his wires) or a Puppet Scarf (when defeated by fighting). Kris also receives a Shadow Crystal.

After defeating Spamton NEO, several Addisons are seen near his shop where they talk about Spamton, their relationship with him, and his backstory.

Snowgrave Route

In the Snowgrave Route, after all enemies in the area have been frozen by Noelle, Spamton sells Kris the Thorn Ring from a dumpster, presumably where he lives. He tells the party how many enemies are left before he sells the Thorn Ring, which must be bought for 1997 Kromer in order to proceed on the route. He then takes advantage of the fleeing enemies to take over Queen's Mansion, which he fills with Pipis. At the top of the Mansion, after bypassing Queen, Kris fights Spamton NEO as the final boss of the route, Spamton explaining that sealing the fountain would ruin his rise to glory. Towards the end of the battle, Spamton massively boosts his defense, forcing Kris and the player to call their allies for help. Kris calls Ralsei and Susie for help twice each, but they do not respond. The player then calls Noelle, who responds and freezes Spamton. As in the normal route, a Puppet Scarf and a Shadow Crystal are added to the inventory for beating him in this route.

In Battle

Attacks

Spamton Money Vacuum: Spamton's face expands and his mouth opens as he inhales dollar signs into his mouth and changes the box's shape. The SOUL gets dragged to the right as well. Minitons: Spamton's face expands and releases several miniature copies of himself that run along the top and bottom parts of the box. When one gets close to the SOUL, it jumps up in an attempt to attack it. Word Bullets: Spamton's face expands and releases strings of letters that enlarge as they get closer to the other side of the box. The words either move in a sine wave pattern or up or down. The words that are spelt out include: $VALUES$ $VAULES$ (rarely) $$DEALS$ $"CHEAP" $$49.998 $$REAL$$ $PRICES$ BARGAIN$ Spamton NEO Spamton NEO introduces the yellow SOUL mechanic. Similar to the yellow SOUL Mode in Undertale, this allows the SOUL to shoot bullets at certain obstacles. The SOUL can also charge the bullets for a "big shot."

Flying Heads: Four copies of Spamton's head launch at the SOUL one lane at the time. These heads can be destroyed. If not destroyed, they launch bullets at the SOUL as they continue onward. When a head is destroyed, it will provide 1.3 (about 0.5%) TP. From the second time and on, the copies of Spamton's head come from multiple directions, while Spamton NEO also fires large bullets with his arm cannon. Spam Mail: Trucks carrying towers of mail, destructible Spamton heads and sometimes bombs drive towards the SOUL. From the second time and on this attack is used, the trucks go faster and more frequently. After using the difficult variant of this attack, he loops back to the difficult Flying Heads attack. This continues until he reaches 30% HP or 70% MERCY. Chained Heart: Spamton NEO releases a heart chained to his chest. This heart has Spamton NEO's face on it. He then launches it back and forth, releasing an array of diamond bullets with it. The heart will exist for a long time (if it is not shot, it can exist for 24 seconds), and shots can reduce its existing time and destroy the heart. When the heart is destroyed in a normal route, his Mercy meter increases by 3% if he has not received any damage. If he has received damage or in the Snowgrave Route, destroying the heart deals 3% damage to him. This cannot completely fill the Mercy meter or completely drain his HP, though; he will always be left with a maximum of 99% Mercy or a minimum of 1 HP if damaged in this way. The second time Spamton NEO uses this attack, the heart moves back and forth more rapidly, shoots more frequently and with an increased angle deviation. From the third time and on, smaller hearts that are optional to destroy are added. They are destroyed when the primary heart is destroyed. This is triggered immediately when and only when Spamton NEO's HP is below 30% or his MERCY is over 70%. When enraged, this attack has a random angle deviation for the bullets, and the heart has more health to accommodate for the increased damage output from the SOUL. A Call For You: Spamton NEO fires blue, bouncing Pipis towards the SOUL. When one reaches contact with the box, an array of tiny Spamton heads is launched at the SOUL at a very fast pace. The Pipis give 3 TP when destroyed (approximately 1-2% TP in tension bar; internally, TP are stored as a value capped at 250 instead of as a percentage). From the second time and on this attack is used, Spamton NEO fires two Pipis at once each time. Gripping Phones: Phones grip onto the outer edges of the box as a Spamton head approaches, shooting large, exploding bullets. Shooting the head with a big shot pushes it backward. If the SOUL takes damage against the standard version of this attack, all subsequent times the attack is used, the phones launch waves from them and move up and down the board, regardless of the Spamton head's position. The . Spamton is DEATHLY afraid of the man named gaster. and Spamton has a panic attack and a mental breakdown when he hears the name gaster. when he hears the word gaster, he goes mentally insane and starts manicallicly laughing and breaking things. Spamton is not mentally stable

SPAMTON

Spamton, full name Spamton G. Spamton, is a Darkner from the Cyber World. He is initially encountered in Cyber City, where he is fought as a miniboss. He is likely based on spam emails and adverts.

If Kris helps him enter the Queen's Mansion's basement (either through the LoadedDisk or freezing Berdly), he transforms into Spamton NEO, which serves as Chapter 2's bonus boss on a normal route and the main antagonist and final boss of the Chapter 2 Snowgrave Route. As a bonus boss, he holds one of the Shadow Crystals.

Shop

After his battle, he appears as a shopkeeper in the Trash Zone. His shop is unusual in that his items are not what they appear, and their prices fluctuate rapidly while looking at them. He is also the only shopkeeper that the party cannot sell items to, with the "SELL" option being replaced with "BUYMORE!!" His wares are:

KeyGen for 0-49030 Kromer/D$ S.POISON for 50-150 Kromer/D$ (sold as "S. POTION") Broken Sword for 50-150 Kromer/D$ (sold as "THE BIG ONE") Frayed Bowtie for 50-150 Kromer/D$ (sold as "BSHOT BOWTIE") Profile

Appearance

Spamton appears as a diminutive puppet and ex-Addison that wears yellow and pink glasses that sometimes change colors and a long-sleeved black V-neck shirt, with black hair that is slicked back, appearing similar to a pompadour. Oddly. enough, he bares noticeable resemblance to Swatch.

After becoming Spamton NEO, Spamton assumes the form of the machine he inhabits. The body of this form looks like a disheveled Mettaton NEO with a gaudy pink and yellow color scheme, and a laser cannon mounted onto his hand. Countless green wires suspend him in the air. His pink and yellow glass colors swap places. He also grows bat wings, one side being green, lilac, and purple, the other being yellow, pink, and magenta, and has teal-green and grey thumbs.

Swatch mentions that many people have failed to imitate his look, and some people have even gone so far as to impersonate him. Spamton's slick black hair, multicolored glasses, pointy white face and black suit are noticeably similar to Swatch's outfit, and Spamton admits to it during a live Q&A during the Spamton Sweepstakes.[1]

Spamton's design seems to be based on a number of popular depictions of puppets, having the face and style of dress seen on classic ventriloquist dummies with a (nonlengthening) nose similar to Pinocchio's. This is also hinted at in his Spamton NEO form when he refers to himself as a puppet, and with the song "A Real Boy!"

Spamton has the ability to increase the size of his head. In his NEO form, his head is constantly larger than usual.

Personality

Spamton was once a natural salesman, always willing to cut a deal. While he still bears a shadow of these traits, his deals are now often nonsensical or violent. He claims that he became a salesman not for the money, but for the freedom to make his own deals. However, he still attempts to scam Kris for money (which he refers to as "Kromer") at every opportunity. His speech patterns are similar to typical obfuscated spam email text, with many words replaced with non sequitur variants in square brackets that could imply incorrectly-applied mail merge variables or hyperlinks, or various voice glitches.

In much of his dialogue, he seems desperate and mentally unwell, seemingly projecting himself onto Kris, contradicting himself, and saying things which make little sense, without warning. This mental instability seems to clear up briefly after fighting him in his NEO form, as he wishes Kris success with their journey without using broken English.

Spamton consistently spells "generosity" as "genorisity," "guarantee" as "guaranttee," "delicious" as "delisis," and "special" as "specil," with an exception for the latter at the end of the Spamton NEO battle after snapping all the wires.

Main Story

History

Some time before Kris and Susie entered the Cyber World, Spamton existed as an unsuccessful spam email Addison, overlooked by Lightners and never able to catch a break.[2] Despite his lack of success, he always proclaimed to his fellow Addisons that he would be a "big shot" one day.[3]

Desperate, Spamton began to look for any way to become more popular. Eventually, he came into contact via phone with someone who could help him, and suddenly he began to be wildly successful. From that point on, Spamton was "on the phone all the time," being aided by an unknown person.[4] His fellow Addisons became jealous of him for his sudden success, and stopped going out with him.[5] His success landed him his own room at the Queen's Mansion, and he began to brag more and more about his deals, ranging from TV commercials to cars.[6]

Then, as sudden as his success was, it came crashing down. The stranger helping Spamton vanished, and all his sales went with them.[6] Desperate, Spamton started spending all of his time "praying" in the basement, where he found a "crystal in [an] old machine" and became obsessed with an "artifact" (the artifact either being the machine or the crystal itself).[7][8] This machine was created by an unknown Lightner with the help of Swatch and was a digital visualization of their hopes and dreams. However, those dreams never came to be, and the machine was abandoned in the basement with the rest of the corrupted data.[9]

With nothing left, Spamton was to be evicted from the Queen's mansion. The day of his eviction, one of the Addisons went to visit Spamton, but found he had already left. Spamton had left his phone hanging off the handle. Spamton presumably left in the middle of a conversation, as the Addison could hear someone on the other end, but after putting the phone to their ear it only made "garbage noise."[10] Likewise, Kris's Cell Phone only makes garbage noise when used in the Dark World.

Abandoned by all of his friends, Spamton was reduced to living in a dumpster in a Cyber City alleyway.[11] Despite his fall from grace, the Color Cafe in Queen's Mansion continued to sell his trademark bowtie, albeit with the brand name cut off.

At some point, someone (presumed to be Spamton) attempted to impersonate Swatch by mimicking his monochrome suit and colored glasses, in order to obtain something (presumed to be the NEO machine).[12] Additionally, somebody (presumed to be Spamton) attempted to commission Sweet Cap'n Cakes to sneak into the Queen's Mansion (presumably to grant him access to the machine), but they declined;[13] Spamton later convinces Kris to do likewise.

After asking him about friends, he brings up an individual named Mike. When talking about Mike, Spamton tells Kris not to trust what they hear on TV because "THE MAN'S A CRIMINAL."[14] Spamton also exclaims "ARE YOU GETTING ALL THIS [Mike]!?" at the end of his NEO fight if he is defeated violently, implying Mike may have recorded for Spamton in some capacity in the past.[15]

Chapter 2

Normal Route

Spamton is first encountered by Kris in Cyber City, where Kris seemingly disturbs the garbage container in which Spamton is residing. After a short interaction, Spamton engages Kris in combat as he continues attempting to convince them to accept his "deal."

Later, if Spamton was defeated through mercy, he can be seen again in a shop to the left of the Trash Zone. After Kris accepts yet another deal, he tasks Kris with bringing him an Empty Disk located in a basement in the Queen's Mansion. After purchasing a KeyGen from Spamton, Kris can retrieve the EmptyDisk from the machine in the dilapidated basement. Upon returning to Spamton's shop, Spamton proposes his final deal to Kris: transmitting Spamton through the EmptyDisk and returning it to the machine in the basement.

After Kris places the LoadedDisk back into the machine, Spamton transforms into Spamton NEO, much to his delight and excitement, but is horrified to see that his new form is held up by literal puppet strings. He attacks Kris in an attempt to obtain their SOUL, believing that it is the key to earning his "freedom." Before he can, however, Susie and Ralsei enter the room, and Susie interrupts him by using her Rude Buster spell to knock him out of the way, leading Spamton NEO to launch the three into carts, and battle the party for all of their SOULs.

Spamton NEO can be defeated either by fighting or by cutting the wires controlling him. If he is defeated by fighting, he attempts to continue the fight by turning into "Spamton EX," but his gravely damaged body explodes as he attempts to transform. If the party cuts all of his wires until one remains, Spamton NEO realizes that Kris is trying to free him in spite of his efforts to kill them. He dances gleefully and thanks them, asking them to cut the last wire, only for him to helplessly fall to the ground without any strings to hold him up.

No matter the method, once he is defeated, Spamton returns to his normal form, becomes calm and lucid, and starts speaking normally. He laments how he could not become anything more than a puppet, but compliments the party's strength and wishes them well. He then offers himself to the party, transforming into either a Dealmaker (when defeated by cutting his wires) or a Puppet Scarf (when defeated by fighting). Kris also receives a Shadow Crystal.

After defeating Spamton NEO, several Addisons are seen near his shop where they talk about Spamton, their relationship with him, and his backstory.

Snowgrave Route

In the Snowgrave Route, after all enemies in the area have been frozen by Noelle, Spamton sells Kris the Thorn Ring from a dumpster, presumably where he lives. He tells the party how many enemies are left before he sells the Thorn Ring, which must be bought for 1997 Kromer in order to proceed on the route. He then takes advantage of the fleeing enemies to take over Queen's Mansion, which he fills with Pipis. At the top of the Mansion, after bypassing Queen, Kris fights Spamton NEO as the final boss of the route, Spamton explaining that sealing the fountain would ruin his rise to glory. Towards the end of the battle, Spamton massively boosts his defense, forcing Kris and the player to call their allies for help. Kris calls Ralsei and Susie for help twice each, but they do not respond. The player then calls Noelle, who responds and freezes Spamton. As in the normal route, a Puppet Scarf and a Shadow Crystal are added to the inventory for beating him in this route.

In Battle

Attacks

Spamton Money Vacuum: Spamton's face expands and his mouth opens as he inhales dollar signs into his mouth and changes the box's shape. The SOUL gets dragged to the right as well. Minitons: Spamton's face expands and releases several miniature copies of himself that run along the top and bottom parts of the box. When one gets close to the SOUL, it jumps up in an attempt to attack it. Word Bullets: Spamton's face expands and releases strings of letters that enlarge as they get closer to the other side of the box. The words either move in a sine wave pattern or up or down. The words that are spelt out include: $VALUES$ $VAULES$ (rarely) $$DEALS$ $"CHEAP" $$49.998 $$REAL$$ $PRICES$ BARGAIN$ Spamton NEO Spamton NEO introduces the yellow SOUL mechanic. Similar to the yellow SOUL Mode in Undertale, this allows the SOUL to shoot bullets at certain obstacles. The SOUL can also charge the bullets for a "big shot."

Flying Heads: Four copies of Spamton's head launch at the SOUL one lane at the time. These heads can be destroyed. If not destroyed, they launch bullets at the SOUL as they continue onward. When a head is destroyed, it will provide 1.3 (about 0.5%) TP. From the second time and on, the copies of Spamton's head come from multiple directions, while Spamton NEO also fires large bullets with his arm cannon. Spam Mail: Trucks carrying towers of mail, destructible Spamton heads and sometimes bombs drive towards the SOUL. From the second time and on this attack is used, the trucks go faster and more frequently. After using the difficult variant of this attack, he loops back to the difficult Flying Heads attack. This continues until he reaches 30% HP or 70% MERCY. Chained Heart: Spamton NEO releases a heart chained to his chest. This heart has Spamton NEO's face on it. He then launches it back and forth, releasing an array of diamond bullets with it. The heart will exist for a long time (if it is not shot, it can exist for 24 seconds), and shots can reduce its existing time and destroy the heart. When the heart is destroyed in a normal route, his Mercy meter increases by 3% if he has not received any damage. If he has received damage or in the Snowgrave Route, destroying the heart deals 3% damage to him. This cannot completely fill the Mercy meter or completely drain his HP, though; he will always be left with a maximum of 99% Mercy or a minimum of 1 HP if damaged in this way. The second time Spamton NEO uses this attack, the heart moves back and forth more rapidly, shoots more frequently and with an increased angle deviation. From the third time and on, smaller hearts that are optional to destroy are added. They are destroyed when the primary heart is destroyed. This is triggered immediately when and only when Spamton NEO's HP is below 30% or his MERCY is over 70%. When enraged, this attack has a random angle deviation for the bullets, and the heart has more health to accommodate for the increased damage output from the SOUL. A Call For You: Spamton NEO fires blue, bouncing Pipis towards the SOUL. When one reaches contact with the box, an array of tiny Spamton heads is launched at the SOUL at a very fast pace. The Pipis give 3 TP when destroyed (approximately 1-2% TP in tension bar; internally, TP are stored as a value capped at 250 instead of as a percentage). From the second time and on this attack is used, Spamton NEO fires two Pipis at once each time. Gripping Phones: Phones grip onto the outer edges of the box as a Spamton head approaches, shooting large, exploding bullets. Shooting the head with a big shot pushes it backward. If the SOUL takes damage against the standard version of this attack, all subsequent times the attack is used, the phones launch waves from them and move up and down the board, regardless of the Spamton head's position. The Spamton head's bullets also no longer explode. If the SOUL does not take damage against the standard attack, it is used again the next time and so on until damage is taken, at which point all further uses are the harder variation. When enrage attack, 5% is added. Spamton is DEATHLY afraid of the man named gaster and has a panic attack and a mental breakdown when he hears the name gaster. Spamton is mentally unstable.
