Tenna appears as a 3D-rendered humanoid figure with an old TV for a head, lacking any facial features aside from a wide, often-grinning mouth and a long, pointed nose. His attire consists of a flashy red suit with twin coattails, a long yellow tie, black pants, large cartoony white gloves, and bright yellow dress shoes. He is very tall, about 9 to 10 feet tall, but can change his size.

Mr. "Ant" Tenna, often referred to by his surname, is the main antagonist of Chapter 3, and a minor character in Chapter 4. He is the Dreemurr household's old CRT TV in the Dark World.

Personality: Tenna is an upbeat and energetic show host who thrives on entertaining his audience by both flattering and challenging his contestants. Beneath his lively persona, however, he is deeply insecure and egotistical, prone to panicking when things don’t go as planned. He recalls fondly how, as a television in the real world, he once brought Kris, their family, and friends together to play games and watch shows. Now feeling abandoned, Tenna struggles with feelings of worthlessness and loneliness, and fears that he’s no longer interesting and that he’ll be discarded. While outwardly upbeat multiple interactions with Kris and Susie, reveal these insecurities of failing as an entertainer, as his sprite can be found lamenting on if the lightners are even enjoy his games or not and wishing that Kris would give him guidance on what to do before panicking when hearing footsteps. To this end Tenna appears to be somewhat fearful of Kris as when his sprite is confronted in third Sword Route level, he attempts to remind Kris that he followed their orders like he was instructed to and fearfully questions if he is going to be turned off again. If Kris is wearing the Shadow Mantle after that encounter, Tenna's normal boss battle dialogue slightly changes to him nearly revealing that Kris created this Dark World.

Throughout Chapter 3, Tenna creates multiple quizzes with answers relating to Kris’ family in the past, showing a very big sense of sentiment. However at multiple points Tenna reminds and alludes to Kris of their parents divorce as a possible misguided way of trying to relate to them. This is supported during his mental breakdown in the Doom Board, where Tenna's demeanor changes to an oddly apologetic tone after the failed cooking minigame, with it appearing to trigger traumatic memories of Toriel and Asgore having a heated argument he was present for.

While Tenna is outwardly patient, he can be driven to vindictiveness as after his falling out with his former business partner Spamton (which he was the cause of), Tenna includes various amounts of insults or slights at the business man throughout his games or quizzes, at one point urging Susie to kill a model based off of Spamton's head in a bonus mini game or directly blaming Spamton for his inability to use technology. Albeit in private, Tenna is revealed to still miss Spamton, keeping a Pipis in his possesion and accidently reveals to Mike he was primarily at fault for the collapse of their friendship as well as the real Mike.

When confronted about his age, Tenna adamantly denies being "old." After the Trio discovers Toriel trapped inside a toy capsule and intending on leaving his Dark world entirely, he spirals into panic and reacts by imprisoning them in capsules as well driven by his overwhelming fear of being left behind and forgotten. His outbursts often turn destructive; he lashes out and fires his employees in bursts of anger, these traits remains while he resides in Castle Town, repeatedly lashing out and threatening employees such as the 3 Mikes over the conditions of their contracts should they go against his orders.

After a conversation with Mike, he agrees to improve the contracts of all his employees, adding vacation time and slime.

Despite this, he is shown to have a kind heart. Part of his motivation for forcing the Delta Warriors into his show was simply so that he could entertain them. He has a strong desire to entertain and bring people together. While he even expresses frantic concern over Toriel, doing everything he can to assure she doesn't wake up, this is because he worries his overall plan of appeasing the Knight may fail. His desire to entertain, while apparent enough to make one trust him, is also rooted in wanting to help the Knight succeed in taking Toriel. This conflict of wanting to help the Knight but needing the attention from the Lightners is what ultimately makes him change for the better. Indeed, while in Castle Town, Tenna is capable of recognizing his flaws and mistreatment of employee's seeking to amend this behavior.

Tenna is also seen to be rather enthusiastic and patient, as if you lose the physical challenges multiple times, he'll always end his dialogue with "One more try! Let's CHALLENGE again!" demonstrating his confidence and faith.

Around the time Dess Holiday went missing, the Holidays stopped visiting the Dreemurrs and watching Tenna, additionally the Dreemurrs, namely Asgore and Toriel would get into repeated fights and arguments most of which Tenna witnessed and grew distressed over, eventually the family would spend less and less time together leaving him to go unwatched as a whole hurting his self confidence. In order to regain his status, Tenna would heavily pressure Spamton into signing a contract that Mike had warned them would put Spamton in danger. Consequently, as the salesman signed the contract and was on the verge of disclose his secrets to achieving fame, he would leave in a panic after a phone call from an "unknown person" in relation the consequences Mike had warned them about, with the caller no longer being on the line by the time Tenna found the phone. Interpreting this as Spamton ripping him off, Tenna formed a bitter grudge against him, with it being implied the real Mike left Tenna shortly after. Eventually Tenna would be unplugged altogether.

Tenna reveals that Kris' family, before recently, had gradually stopped watching him, causing him to become lonely from neglect. He then reveals he's been working with the Roaring Knight, who promised that if he kept the three of them busy, he'd have all the people in the world to watch him. He wishes not to be thrown away, or to become irrelevant. He attempts to start another round of his game show, but Susie attacks him in anger, initiating a battle.

If the Shadow Mantle was obtained, the CHECK text becomes “Despite his size, he’s surprisingly fragile.”
