Undertale on the surface.

Long ago, two races ruled over the Earth: Humans and Monsters. One day, a war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. Seven of their greatest magicians confined the monsters to the Underground with a magic barrier. However, this barrier is not perfect... Many years after the war, in 201X, a human child named Chara, climbs to Mount Ebott for their own mysterious, unhappy reasons. It is said that those who climb the mountain never return. The child discovers an enormous hole in the mountain and falls in. After that, the story begins...

After the fall, child injured themselves, but somehowe survived despite clearly high height. That time they were found by a goat young monster — Asriel Dreemurr, son of Toriel and Asgore, who help fallen human and provides them to parents in home. Later then, Chara was adopted by Toriel and Asgore, the Queen and King of the Underground. Chara and Asriel became not only adopt siblings but also best friends. Despite the war, monsters said that Chara gave the Underground hope. Overtime Chara, with Asriel's help, began developing a plan to destroy the barrier and free the monsters from the Underground.

One day, after becoming fatally ill from eating buttercups, Chara wished to see the golden flowers that grew in their home village. After death, Chara's red SOUL was absorbed by Asriel, and they shared control of the same body. Chara carried their own corpse through the barrier and wanted to use their shared power with Asriel to destroy the humans, who attacked them after seeing Chara's corpse in Asriel's arms and believing he had killed the child. Asriel resisted Chara, which ultimately led to the humans killing them both. Chara's motives in this situation are unclear. It is unclear whether they wanted to destroy humanity out of hatred for them or to free the monsters, or both.

Following the loss of both of his children, Asgore declared war on humanity, and insisted on killing every human who fell to the Underground. Toriel did not approve of the plan, and left her husband, abdicating the throne. She returned to the Ruins (First capital before New Home), where she would look after every human who fell to the Underground.

Later, during the determination experiments, Alphys injected determination into one of the garden's Golden Flowers — the first one to bloom after Asriel's death. Initial experiments on the flower vessel proved unsuccessful, and Alphys returned it to Asgore. Not long after being replanted, Asriel awoke within the garden, reincarnated as Flowey.

Though the injection of determination granted Flowey the will to live, he soon found that neither his mother nor father could elicit any emotional response from him. He did not have a SOUL and thus could not feel love, joy, or compassion, which eventually turned him murderous.

Asgore Dreemurr is a main character and a secondary antagonist in Undertale. Asgore is the king of the underground and its Kingdom of Monsters. He plans to kill seven humans and use their SOULs to break the barrier and free monsterkind. He is the ex-husband of Toriel, father of Asriel, adoptive father of the fallen human, and the penultimate boss of the Neutral Route.

Asgore is a large Boss Monster, and the tallest main character in Undertale. Asgore has two large curved horns, golden-blond mane and beard, white fur, long ears, a snout, and a set of visible fangs. Asgore wears a small, three-pointed crown atop his head, golden pauldrons and a long purple cape that slightly drags along the ground, which he often uses as a cloak for his armored body. Asgore's armor consists of a large chestplate, with a winged crest of the implied "angel" from the Delta Rune emblem, and his tasset visually resembling the triangles of the emblem. Underneath is a standard outfit, consisting of pants and a shirt, though only the shirt's collar can be seen in color.

Asgore's weapon in battle is a sharp red trident, adorned with a six-petaled flower at its base.

Asgore is shown to have golden-blond arm hair on his forearms, muscular arms, and a rotund stomach, in contrast to his broad-chested armored appearance.

Asgore is kind and upbeat, yet often quiet. He speaks in Southern slang, such as "howdy" and "golly", similarly to his son Asriel.

Asgore's interests include gardening, humming, making tea such as golden flower tea, going for walks, sparring with Undyne, dressing up and acting as Santa Claus, and puns. He has a sense of humor, as he accepts being called "Fluffybuns" after Toriel accidentally nicknamed him in public. However, he is bad at naming places, as evidenced by him naming the kingdom the "Kingdom of Monsters", the kingdom's first capital city "Home", and its latest capital city "New Home".

Gerson suggests that Asgore may not be too intelligent, as he states everyone knew Toriel managed governing.

Despite this, monsters respect Asgore as a powerful leader. Many monsters refer to him by his name, or by nickname, and partially by his title. Asgore's name is always fully capitalized, and sometimes in red text, yellow text, or a combination of both. However, he only fights humans to give hope to monsterkind. Asgore feels miserable for the deaths of the six humans, does not want to kill anybody, and feels guilty for declaring war on humanity. This guilt seemingly extends to Asgore destroying the MERCY option.

Asgore clings to the past, wishing to see his wife and Asriel even though both of them have been gone for a long time. He writes the same short positive phrase in his journal every day, presumably to not think about his guilt or his family. However, he seemingly tries to bake Toriel's Butterscotch Pie multiple times, which is one of his favorites.

Caretaker of the Ruins, Asgore's ex-wife, ex-Queen, and one of the key characters in Undertale. She is effectively the first boss in the game, despite being nearly impossible to defeat.

Toriel is a Boss Monster whose head resembles a white-furred Nubian Goat, structured with floppy ears and tiny horns. She has a pair of visible fangs and long eyelashes, and her irises have a dark red tint. She has an anthropomorphic body, with paws at the end of her limbs. 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 protagonist. 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.

Toriel's hobbies includes baking, reading, writing puns, bug-hunting, and tending to flowers. She enjoys baking cinnamon-butterscotch Pie, as well as her favorite, Snail Pie. She has read many books in her home, and has a journal full of puns. She enjoyed puns even before meeting Sans.

Toriel is said to be intelligent and can come off as intimidating when she is serious. Toriel is meticulous in her goals, and was often referred by her title when she was the queen. Toriel aspires to be a teacher. She offers instructions on puzzles and prepares a curriculum for Frisk. Toriel often checks the entrance to the Ruins to tend to the bed of Golden Flowers and aid those who fall into the Underground. It is implied that she had cared for the previous six fallen humans in the same way she cares for Frisk before their eventual depart. Sometime after that, Toriel and Sans became friends over knock-knock jokes they shared at the Ruins's exit door. One day, she requested that he promises to protect humans that exit through the door.

Some time later after the first fallen human fell in 201X, six other humans climbed Mount Ebott, fell into the Underground, and died. It is unknown how far they had made through the Underground, aside from all of them leaving the Ruins. Each of them had their associated items, but it is unknown why they climbed the mountain or how the items were scattered. Asgore collected each of their SOULs for later use, placing the humans' bodies in coffins in New Home's basement.

Light Blue — Patience. Has a Toy Knife and Faded Ribbon, that were left in the Ruins, presumably where the child died. Orange — Bravery. Tough Glove and Manly Bandanna from QC — a slightly plump purple bunny, that keeping the shop in Snowdin town. She wears a tank top, small necklace, and summer hat. The shop itself is a brightly lit, orange store, with shelves of materials and wares. Integrity — Blue. Ballet Shoes and Old Tutu in Waterfall. Purple — Perseverance. Torn Notebook and Cloudy Glasses from Gerson. Green — Kindness. Burnt Pan and Stained Apron in Hotland. And Yellow — Justice. Also known as Clover. Empty Gun and Cowboy Hat from Bratty and Catty.

Clover is a young androgynous human of fair complexion and short brown hair. Official art portrays Clover with yellow eyes.

Clover wears a brown long-sleeved t-shirt beneath a dark brown vest and dark blue pants, presumably denim, girded by a dark reddish-brown belt with a gold buckle. They wear a pair of brown shoes and a light brown cowboy hat with a dark brown hatband. Around their neck, Clover sports a yellow bandana with a blue dot pattern (though some official art depicts it as a checkered blue and yellow bandana).

Clover's background is left ambiguous; however, there are a few hints of their past throughout the game. While never explicitly stated, it is heavily implied that Clover may have an abusive or overly demanding family, that may have resulted in them becoming independent at a young age.

While Clover is largely a silent protagonist (though much less so than Frisk), elements of their personality are shown or implied at several points. In notable contrast with Frisk, most dialogue options for Clover generally depict what Clover is actually saying, as opposed to Frisk where a choice would imply dialogue.

As fitting as the owner of the Justice SOUL, Clover possesses a strong sense of justice, motivated by a drive to do what they perceive to be the right thing. Clover is shown to have an affinity for strange food, in particular having a bizarre taste for gunpowder. Unlike Frisk, Clover does not have the highest amount of Determination in the Underground, so Flowey saves the game on their behalf.

Clover falls into a Underground and immediately encounters Toriel, who promises to guide them through the puzzles. However, during one of these puzzles, something goes wrong. The spikes won't open, and Clover falls through the ground. Toriel tells them to stay put while she figures out a way to get them out, but Clover ignores her and goes into the Dark Ruins.

In the Dark Ruins, Clover meets Flowey, who tells him about the Underground and teaches him how to fight monsters. Later, the protagonist encounters a mysterious monster, who talks to himself and complains about interrupting his monologue. After this, Clover finds himself in a maze, which is actually a cornfield. After escaping, he is again confronted by the mysterious monster. He begins a monologue, but this time he stops it as soon as he sees the Clover, then goes home to sleep.

After another dialogue with the mysterious monster, the protagonist finds themselves in a long passageway where they are attacked by Decibat, who, after a battle with Clover, names them Lord of Silence and flies off to spread further silence. After several puzzles, the protagonist encounters the mysterious monster again, who asks them to leave, but Clover continues to follow, prompting the mysterious monster to engage in battle. It is revealed that the mysterious monster's name is Dalv. After the battle, child can enter the house (or it will invite you) where the door to Snowdin is located. In Snowdin, Clover encounters the Martlet puzzles for the first time, which they must solve along the way. At the very end, Clover encounters the Martlet itself, who, realizing Clover is human, engages in combat, following the Royal Guardian Code. However, the fight turns out to be completely different than she expected, as Clover doesn't attack her, as the code should have. Feeling that she's doing wrong by attacking Clover and receiving no response, she begins asking them to insult her.

However, Clover's insults prove harmless and entirely justified, so she ends the fight. Since the Martlet has violated the Guardian Code, she decides to help Clover escape the Underground without anyone knowing of her failure. She and Clover travel on a boat down the river that is supposed to take them to Hotland. However, the river proves too swift, causing Clover to fall into a cave, and the Martlet to fly away, trying to find help.

After falling, Clover encounters Flowey again, who blames the Martlet for everything that happened and tells her not to trust anyone. After exiting the cave, Clover finds themselves self in the Dunes

Some time later, Clover meets the Martlet again, who promises to help him, but they are forced to split up again when Clover reaches the town of "Wild East." At the entrance, they encounter the "Feisty Five" — Ed, Moray, Ace, Mooch, and North Star. Initially, they want to let the heroes pass, but then North Star realizes Clover is human and decides to forcibly convert him to the "Feisty Five," transforming them into the "Feisty Six." The Martlet tries to stop them from kidnapping Clover, but proves incapable of doing anything and is imprisoned in the local prison.

In the town, Clover meets North Star's friend— Ceroba, who is quite friendly and tells them a little about the "kidnapper." North Star himself begins to prepare Clover to become a member of the Feisty Five, giving them very stupid and easy tasks, which, however, anger the other four members, who had to go through much more serious trials. The climax comes when, after these tasks, North Star appoints Clover as the "city's deputy", a much higher position than that of a member of the Feisty Five, so Ed, Moray, Ace, and Mooch decide to give Clover a "true test" — a battle — while North Star isn't looking. However, he finds out, and a scandal ensues, resulting in North Star's true identity — Starlo — being revealed, and the Feisty Five disband.

The Four say Starlo has changed a lot since he began ruling the Wild East, and Starlo accuses them of envy. After all four leave, Starlo tries to ask for support from Ceroba, who has approached, but she, too, sides with the Four. Starlo leaves and tries to figure out what he needs to do. When Clover finds Starlo, he initially ponders why his efforts to entertain the Town ended so badly, but when he finds Clover, he first blames them for everything, then decides that if he "does the job of a Royal Guard," he will be respected not only in the Wild East, but throughout the entire Underground. Starlo lassoes Clover and begins a fight. Clover manages to break free, but then Starlo draws a revolver. The last bullet would have surely killed Clover, Ceroba arrives just in time to revive Starlo. Meanwhile, Martlet is freed from its cage, but she hesitates to follow Clover due to being away from her post for too long.

After the encounter with Starlo, Ceroba will accompany Clover to the Steamworks, which introduces new dialogue and slightly alters the progression of the location. After the battle with Axis, Ceroba and Clover head to the elevator to Hotland, but are stopped by Starlo and Ed. It turns out that while preparing a party to celebrate Kanako's return, they discovered a hatch leading to a bunker containing notes left behind by Chujin before his death. When Starlo asks what Ceroba is planning, she escapes in the elevator, and Starlo chases after her. Before leaving, Starlo orders Ed to take Clover back to the Wild East. Once back, the others Feisty members show up, with Martlet arriving as well thanks to being contacted by Moray. Martlet convinces Ed to have Clover follow her to Ceroba's old house to investigate while he explains what he knows to the group.

At the estate, they locate the trap door Ed discovered. In the lab, they discover and play the tapes, where it's revealed that Chujin, patriarch of the Ketsukane family, was secretly planning on turning all monsters into Boss Monsters with a fusion of Human and Boss Monster SOULs, to fight another war against Humanity. However, his attempts would fall, and with his dying breath, wanted Ceroba to continue his mission, but to keep Kanako out of the affairs. Horrified, Martlet takes Clover out of the estate and meets up with the Feisty Four, convincing them that she and Clover need to go and stop Ceroba. She flies ahead to Hotland while Clover takes off by foot. Before they can set off, they are stopped by Flowey, who mocks them for trusting Ceroba. However, Flowey then states that he isn't going to stop Clover, and is interested in how things play out.

Clover finds Chujin's gravestone to the northwest of the estate, if they inspect it, they can find a video tape. This video tape reveals that Kanako was with another monster when that monster was attacked by a human, then the human swiftly fled to Waterfall. This enraged Chujin and he sent Axis to neutralize the human, which was done unexpectedly fast, much to Chujin's horrors. He quickly hid the evidence and confiscated the human SOUL for experimentation. This monster is implied to be Dalv, and it is later revealed that this human had the blue SOUL.

At the UG Apartments, Clover follows up and sees Martlet on the rooftop, looking at the CORE. She then explains where Ceroba and Starlo are. Not knowing if she'll get another chance, she states that Clover is a kind person, that despite everything the Royal Guard has taught her, despite being attacked at every turn, Clover choose peaceful solutions every time.

She then promises Clover that after the Ceroba situation is defused, they'll convince Asgore that Clover is a good person and they will be allowed to pass, with the promise of meeting again one day when the barrier breaks. The two share a fist bump before heading back down and through the elevator to the West of New Home. Once there, they find Starlo and Ceroba in a stand off for Clover's SOUL, and the revelation that there is little hope for Kanako without Clover's SOUL. Despite both Martlet and Starlo's best attempts, Ceroba refuses to back down. Martlet attempts to flee with Clover, but Ceroba knocks out both her and Starlo with little effort. She goes on to state that Clover, while admirable, is naïve for thinking that the five humans can be saved, or that Asgore would let them go. Admitting to be a hypocrite and no better than Asgore on morality, she states she will help Monsterkind by using Chujin's work, stating that if Asgore did break the barrier, humans would defeat them again and stuff them back down into the mountain. She and Clover then fight.

At first, Clover survives Ceroba's attacks, but once brought to the tipping point, she assaults them with a barrage of attacks. Before the last hit can strike, Clover unlocks the Big Shot and blasts back. Realizing the situation, she wears Kanako's mask and takes a kitsune-like form. Clover eventually cracks the mask, which causes a memory to play out before the two of them. The memory is of Chujin on his deathbed, who tells Ceroba of the bunker where he worked on his project, with Kanako having heard everything. Ceroba is initially startled by Clover being in their head, but continues fighting. Clover manages to chip away more of the mask, revealing another memory of Kanako and Ceroba in Chujin's bunker, with Ceroba regrettably deciding to inject Kanako with Chujin's serum, causing her to "fall down".

As Ceroba lays silently before Clover, she reveals how deep her sins are and is "chasing the one ray of sunshine peeking through the surface", unable to let go, and gets up one last time. Eventually, Clover manages to overwhelm and destroy the mask, reverting her back to her normal state. As Ceroba lays defeated before Clover, she eventually realizes her attempts at fulfilling Chujin's legacy costed her family, and made her attack her friends and a child, for something may not have even worked. Racked with guilt, she begs Clover to finish her. Clover choose to spare her in the end. Ceroba, confused as to why Clover is sparing her, is interrupted by Starlo waking up and brushes off her concerns as payback for how he acted back in the Wild East. Martlet wakes up as well and tries to help Clover escape before Ceroba calms her down by revealing that Clover won. Ceroba then apologizes for how she acted, having been too obsessed in her quest to fulfill Chujin's legacy, before being comforted by Starlo. Martlet also promises to use her Royal Guard connections to the royal scientist to locate Kanako.

After getting up, Ceroba apologizes to Clover for attacking them, stating that what she said back in the Steamworks wasn't false, and spending time with them helped her forget her troubles, with the child walking up and hugging her as an act of forgiveness.

With everything now done, Martlet prepares to take Clover to Asgore and the barrier, but Ceroba shoots it down, stating that Asgore would not care that Clover is a pacifist, and would try to take their SOUL. Martlet, Starlo, and Ceroba all argue as Clover begins to think to themselves. Remembering all they've witnessed in their journey through the Underground, they conclude that monsters have suffered more due to being trapped in the mountain. Clover ultimately decides to give up their plan to rescue the five human children, and instead offers up their own SOUL so that one day, monsters can finally have a future.

Despite Martlet and Starlo's insistence that they don't need to do this, Ceroba realizes that their intent is serious, and agrees to take their SOUL, due to there being no other way for Clover to escape the Underground. The four then share one final hug before Martlet and Starlo leave, with Clover giving them their hat and gun respectively as a farewell present. Ceroba then admits that Clover has gained their respect before extracting their SOUL.

After the deed is done, Clover sends them off before collapsing. Flowey is then heard, expressing his disappointment at Clover becoming "predictable" by sacrificing themselves before stating that while he could RESET everything, he believes that the child has earned their rest, stating that there is always another. Flowey then says his farewells to Clover before leaving, stating that they'll meet again. Clover then crawls up the side of the wall to pass away peacefully.

In Waterfall, Martlet is seen preparing a smaller raft to send Clover off properly, before placing Clover's hat in the raft. As she does so, she reveals she declined a promotion and instead put in her two weeks notice for more productive matters. Just then, Ceroba and Starlo arrive, with the cowboy putting Clover's gun in the raft. Ceroba then reveals that she invited Dalv to join the event, before Starlo then places the Safety Glasses on the raft as well. Martlet then places the raft in the water and sets it off, everyone saying their farewells to Clover. After the last set of credits roll, the raft falls into the Garbage Dump, with the hat and gun landing on a patch of golden flowers.

Dalv is a humanoid vampire monster with fangs and horns. He has a lavender complexion and short, dark purple hair. For much of the Dark Ruins, he wears a maroon cloak with dark purple trim and a hood concealing his face. During his hangout, he takes off his cloak to reveal that he wears a white shirt underneath, with ruffles down the middle and a jabot around his neck.

In the Pacifist path he moved to Snowdin, wearing a large winter coat, maroon with white puffy trim around the ends. He also wears black gloves and smaller shoes.

Dalv is socially awkward and claims to desire solitude. He often talks to himself in long monologues or when talking to his household objects. Despite his reservations, he is convinced that staying in the Dark Ruins is the only choice for him and has completely shut himself away from the Underground and the Dark Ruins' other residents. On a Genocide Route, he laments how the Dark Ruins residents were similar to his friends and regrets pushing them away. Despite his anxiety, he has a backbone, standing up to Clover when mistaking them for Integrity and acting more firm if Clover attacks him as well. When hanging out with Clover, he seems very happy to have a friend to talk to and rambles to them. He has various creative hobbies, such as writing and illustrating children's books and playing the organ. He also enjoys growing corn.

While it is never stated directly, it can be inferred that, years prior to Clover entering the Underground, Dalv was friends with Kanako, and she was in Snowdin with Dalv when they were attacked by Integrity during an event that Chujin refers to as the Snowdin attack.

Though Kanako was unharmed, Dalv was injured. From how Chujin refers to Dalv in the tape in a non-descript manner, it is likely that Chujin and Dalv never met prior to the incident. Additionally, it can be inferred that Dalv is aware of the death of the human in question.

Martlet is an anthropomorphic blue bird monster with a pale blue face and a small yellow beak. She has two feathery blue wings in place of arms and a large tuft of darker blue feathers around her neck. She wears yellow boots with a puffy trim. Her shoulder-length hair is the same blue as her wings with outsticking parts and a tuft at the back. She wears a pale blue sleeveless shirt, the same color as her facial feathers, and dark blue pants, the same color as her neck feathers.

Martlet is shown to be, as the Clover states, scatterbrained. She is forgetful, rambly, and often falls asleep at her station. She seems to struggle with concentrating on her duties and often relies on her manual for guidance. She has a passion for puzzlemaking and carpentry.

Martlet has a strong sense of morals and justice. However, she shows indecisiveness and a lack of confidence in her decisions, causing her to make the wrong choices in the moment and hindering her ability to deliver judgement. Despite this, she is persistent in trying her best, doggedly hunting down Clover when she loses them, although for different reasons. She also is optimistic to the point of appearing naïve.

She met Chujin when he built her balcony and asked him to teach her to build. He agreed to mentor her. Martlet found enjoyment in construction and became good friends with him, meeting with him every morning and buying him coffee. Eventually, Martlet decided to get a job as well. She signed up for the Royal Guard and was assigned to guard Alphys's lab. Chujin reacted negatively when he heard the news, not wanting her to get hurt by any humans. Because of this, she broke into the lab to steal a vial of determination sometime before Alphys began injecting monsters.

Martlet was reassigned to the Snowdin Royal Guard Division by the time the game begins. She briefly mentions a vague risk she recently took that she regretted, but does not share details.

Starlo is a humanoid monster. His skin is yellow with star-like appendages on his head with light blue patterns on them. He wears a brown poncho with light blue stripes with his sheriff badge on it, brown pants, and black boots with spurs. Starlo has a hat with teal highlights; all members of the Feisty Five have hats and teal highlights in their designs. Starlo carries a gun with him, which is actually a toy. His overworld sprite usually has a smile, but in serious situations he does not have one.

Starlo's true personality is superseded most of the time by a Western persona. Borne out of a fanaticism of Wild Western culture, Starlo puts on this persona from a desire to spread excitement and drama to the inhabitants of the Underground, distracting them from the cruel reality of monsterkind's collective banishment from the Surface. Going by the moniker of "North Star," he plays the role of the Wild East's upbeat sheriff, who is determined to "keep the peace" by any means necessary. This for the most part is all drama, as there is no real danger (besides potentially Clover) and is all put on as a fun distraction for the Wild East's inhabitants, who all mostly seem to play along. While he touts the idea of justice, he uses it as an aesthetic and does not care for deeper moral conundrums, whether disregarding them or only seeing his own perspective.

Starlo values validation from others. He focuses on making spectacles to entertain the townsfolk and enjoys their attention. This is also the reason he eventually attacks Clover: to be revered by the entire Underground.

Starlo's true personality is revealed after his boss fight in the Pacifist Route. He is shown to be much more of a nerd - a picture in his home revealing he was even adorned with stereotypical dweeb braces at one point. His room is filled with various Western memorabilia from the Surface.

Despite this, however, one thing that is constant between "North Star" and Starlo is his kindness and how he values those close to him. In fact, this is the whole reason the "North Star" persona exists in the first place.

Starlo has been friends with Ceroba since they were young children. Starlo used to have a crush on her. When she got engaged to Chujin, he was so devastated that he did not leave the house for days. He has also been friends with the other members of the Feisty Four since high school.

Starlo found western tapes in Waterfall and loved them. He created the Wild East to entertain monsters with a western fantasy. He moved out of his house in the Sunnyside Farm to live with the Feisty Four in the same house.

After Kanako fell down, Starlo let Ceroba live in his house and take his bed.

Starlo is shown to care very deeply for Ceroba, allowing her to stay at his place after Chujin and Kanako left. Part of the reason Starlo overperformed at the Wild East was to distract Ceroba from her worries, though this was ineffective.

Solomon his father. Crestina is a mother. And Orion is a brother.

All family members have astronomy-related appearances. Solomon's head has the appearance of a sun and he has an orange mustache. He wears blue farm trousers with a star on them, a white shirt with red stripes, and brown boots. Crestina's head is in a crescent shape and her skin tone is gray-blue. and she wears a red dress, also with a star on it. Orion's head is in the shape of a four-pointed star. He wears blue farm trousers, an orange shirt with black at the end of his sleeves, and brown gloves.

Every Feisty Five member (Ed, Moray, Ace, and Mooch) Starlo included, has a hat and teal highlights in their design. Given that all members of the posse are high school friends, they are close in age.

Ceroba is a fox-like monster with beige fur. She has long, wavy ginger hair up in a ponytail tied by the Founder's Crest: a red bow with a small gold bell in the center. She has a short white dress, the top of which resembles a kimono, with red trim. She wears a red obi sash tied around her waist and white boots with red trim. Unlike Chujin and Kanako, she does not have a tail. Ceroba's design is inspired by the kitsune, trickster fox spirits from Japanese folklore,

In battle, she wields a brown staff which again has the Founder's Crest, a bright yellow bell in the center of a red bow.

Ceroba appears skeptical and somber upon first meeting her. She acts as a straight man in much of the Wild East's antics, yet still makes the occasional sarcastic joke. She almost never cries; even Chujin only saw her cry twice in the time they were married. She is observant, able to read Clover without them speaking. She also has the ability to tell if SOUL is pure or not, as even in first conversation with Clover. At times, this makes her views more accurate, as she is the only one of Clover's friends who points out that Asgore will kill Clover if they go to New Home; on the other hand, she also holds unrealistic opinions she considers hard truths, such as being convinced that humans will force monsters back Underground once they reach the Surface. She considers Starlo to have not grown up like she did, but expresses some envy over how happy he is.

Call Starlo just by nickname "Star", which she come out when they were teenagers.

When Clover were talking to her in the Steamworks, Ceroba mentions that she considered dating Starlo when she was "a naive kid", suggesting their relationship was a lot closer in the past. She also states her reason for moving on was because she wanted to grow up, and Starlo didn't follow.

She still deeply care about him despite the events with Clover.

And they still are close friends.

Despite being observant and calling out others on their beliefs, Ceroba has a habit of hiding her issues and avoiding communication. She does not speak up about Starlo's behavior until after the Feisty Four already called him out on how it was making them feel. Nobody outside of her close circle knows about Kanako falling down, and she avoids sharing further information on it. This manifested strongly in her relationship with Chujin. They had poor communication; beyond Chujin keeping secrets their whole relationship, such as including a secret study in their house and experimenting on himself later, Ceroba and Chujin are implied to not have discussed basic plans for their relationship, such as how many children they wanted. She also lied to and manipulated Clover and Starlo in an attempt to get the former's SOUL, though she is not always good at lying.

Ceroba grew up in the mountains (presumably in or near the Dunes.) She was childhood friends with Starlo. He had a crush on her, and she once considered getting in a relationship with him. She first met Chujin when she fell into a ditch. She twisted her ankle but considered ruining the crops her mother sent her to get to be worse. Chujin found her after some time and helped her out. While she describes this as sweet later, a flashback during her boss battle reveals she was driven to tears in the moment, something that Chujin never saw again from her until he was on his deathbed. Despite her commitment to family, this is the only time her parents are mentioned. They later got married and Chujin built the Estate to raise their family in, though they only ever had Kanako. Ceroba was a housewife while Chujin worked at the Steamworks. After he got fired, he claimed to have retired. He volunteered in Snowdin after this. Their family was financially struggling from the cost of building the estate at this point, so Ceroba had to get a job at Café Dune to support them. Ceroba did not have much of a life outside of her family.

She used to have a gym membership, was acquaintances with Martlet, and would bring Kanako to the Wild East on occasion.

Ceroba took care of Chujin as he became sick. He revealed his underground study to her on his deathbed. He died about a year before the game began. After his death, she spent months trying to figure out how to complete his serum without a pure human SOUL. While she eventually came up with a way to, in theory, remove the impurities from an extract from the Integrity SOUL, she still had no Boss Monster to test it on. When Kanako watched Chujin's tapes, she requested Ceroba use the extract on her to make the serum. This failed, causing Kanako to fall down. Ceroba sent her to the True Lab, something she later regrets as Alphys goes silent on updates.

Some time after Kanako fell down, and weeks before the game begins, Ceroba moved out of the Estate and into the Feisty Five's house in the Wild East. She sleeps on the bed, while Starlo takes the couch. She is implied to abuse alcohol during this time.

Before the "fall down": Kanako is a young kitsune monster with brown fur and a short snout. She has dark brown hair that is tied up with a red ribbon. She has a small, magenta kimono with gold trim and a gold obi sash tied around her waist. The kimono is short, showing she wears long grey pants and small boots. She has a red scarf with a golden bell, similar to Ceroba's hair tie. Kanako, like her father, has a tail.

Kanako appears to be courageous, loving, and playful. She always attempts to do what she thinks is right. She willingly risked her life for her father's experiments, showcasing this in full force. Notably, these traits are also present in her parents. She has drawings in her room and made the mask Ceroba uses in her boss fight, showcasing an artistic aspect to her.

After fell down and being sent to Alphys's laboratory, unlike other formless monsters, Kanako retains some features of her original chanterelle form, but has a distinctive "flowing" amalgam texture. First, her form was an amalgam with a spoon. This is her original form as an Amalgamate. Then just a sticky puddle. And as soon as she begins to regain her original form, her clothes will appear in the form of a blue kimono with a golden bell and lines. After the pacifist, all the Almagamates were released back to their families, including Kanako, who was reunited with her mother on the surface and is now trying to maintain her form and control it through positive emotions. If she gets too distressed, her form sinks back into the puddle.

Frisk is the playable character, main protagonist, and the eighth human in Undertale.

Frisk is a yellow-skinned human child who wears a long-sleeve light blue shirt with two magenta stripes, light blue pants (often depicted as shorts in the official Undertale merch), and red-brown shoes (usually depicted as black or in a darker tone). They have medium-length straight red-brown hair, short and choppy bangs, and a blank expression. Though Frisk does not show much expression in the overworld, monsters often describe Frisk's expressions.

Monsters emphasize Frisk's kindness, understanding, and grace in the epilogue. Frisk is obedient, such as when Sans tells them to hide behind the conveniently-shaped lamp. Frisk's determination grants the power to SAVE, heal at SAVE Points, and respawn at SAVE Points after death. This power emerged when Frisk first awoke in the Ruins.

Flowey is a sapient golden flower. He has a white head, six yellow petals, and a light-green stem. Flowey can emulate a variety of faces and voices: he mimics Toriel and Asgore in certain situations, the protagonist's face before the Neutral Route's final battle.

Flowey can feign a cheerful, friendly personality. He speaks similarly to his father, often using words such as "Howdy!" and "golly". When Flowey is not trying to fool the protagonist into trusting him, he is quick to insult them.

As a SOULless being, Flowey is neither human nor monster. Because he has no SOUL, he is unable to feel compassion or love, and seeks amusement by indulging his curiosity that stems from his ability to "reshape the world" with his powers of determination. He retains his memories between SAVEs because he used to be able to SAVE himself. He was not always amoral and initially used his SAVEs to help others in spite of his emotional numbness; as time passed and his inability to feel took a toll on him, all the while he was trying to sate his burgeoning curiosity, Flowey — reluctantly, at first — decided to commit murder, under the pretense of wanting to know what would happen.

Due to boredom and knowledge of the world gained via SAVE manipulation, Flowey is malevolent and cruel. He repeatedly berates the protagonist for not following his "kill or be killed" philosophy.

He is manipulative, devious, cunning and subtle if the circumstances require it. When faced with a situation he has no control over, Flowey may act in frustration or cowardice.

Despite Flowey's insistence that he cannot feel love or compassion, he pleads with the fallen human to not reset everything again and let everyone stay happy if the game is opened after completing the True Pacifist Route for the first time, indicating that he is capable of caring about other people to an extent.

Sans appears as a relatively short and paunchy skeleton, with mitten-like hands. He has white dots for pupils in his black eye sockets that disappear when he is serious or angered. When Sans uses telekinesis, his left eye flashes light blue and yellow, the colors for patience and justice, and his right pupil vanishes. No matter the mood Sans is in, he is always seen with a wide, toothy-grin on his face. His clothes consists of a blue hoodie with a gray hood, a white t-shirt underneath, black shorts with white stripes on the sides, and a pair of slippers.

Papyrus is his younger brother.

Sans is lazy and relatively laid-back. Sans's dialogue reflects his personality, as he speaks in all lowercase, not even capitalizing names or sentence starters, with a few exceptions, such as the initial beginning of his judgments and other more typical changes to his style of speaking for the sake of emphasis. His laziness is a combination of fatalism and apathy due to being self-aware and knowing of timeline resets. Conversely, he suggests that this knowledge could be "a poor excuse for being lazy."

Sans enjoys being mischievous, primarily acting this way towards those he is on good terms with. His antics range from an assortment of illogical, juvenile, and slightly inconvenient pranks; examples include selling fried snow, using whoopee cushions, sharing an unscrewed ketchup bottle, and eye paint on a telescope. He is not above utilizing his teleportation or other magic for practical jokes either. Sans is also fond of making the occasional low-brow puns. He enjoys making others laugh in general, as he also performs at the MTT Resort as a comedian.

Despite Sans being apathetic towards his own life, he is considerate to those he cares for. For example, Sans is a regular at Grillby's, and the monsters and Royal Guard dogs treat him kindly.

Although Sans dislikes making promises, he respects Toriel's request to watch out for any humans.

Sans is also observant; he can often tell that the protagonist has already done certain tasks, such as SAVING and reloading, by reading their expressions. Though Sans is usually agreeable, he can become serious to emphasize a subject.

Sans may have a scientific background. Evidence includes the quantum physics book, his workshop, affinity for science fiction, his ability to teleport and taking part in timeline research at one point. He is also actively employed as a sentry by the Royal Guard, citing the pay as a reason, although it's unknown who hired him.

Sans has implied he once longed and searched for a life that he cannot go back to, as he "gave up trying to go back a long time ago". As a Lost Soul during the battle with Asriel, he tells the protagonist that "you'll never see 'em again."

However, as Sans's statements in this case are vague and nonspecific, it is currently unknown what he refers to.

Papyrus appears as a tall skeleton, with a skull more vertical and geometric than his brother's skull. Being skeletal, many of his expressions incorporate a toothy grin. His eyes resemble vertical slits; his skeletal pseudo-brows form most of his expressions, as well as the corners of his mouth. He has eyeballs which show at times when he is experiencing strong emotions. Papyrus is relatively taller and slightly slimmer than his brother.

For most of his in-game appearances, he wears his "battle body", an outfit that he created for a costume party. It consists of an orange-red cape, a white chestplate with a gold trim on the bottom, and blue briefs with a golden belt. A symbol that resembles that of Starman from the MOTHER series adorns the chestplate. He also wears red coquelicot gloves, each with a yellow trim, and red boots.

Papyrus is flamboyant and brash, which is reflected by him speaking exclusively in capital letters. He presents himself as confident and charismatic, and seems to be egotistical, referring to himself as "THE GREAT PAPYRUS". However, Papyrus is also hard-working and kind at heart, remaining considerate and forgiving

He is occasionally oblivious. but can be cunning, as seen when he uses reverse psychology to trick Undyne into befriending Frisk. He is thought of to be somewhat naive by other characters, but not exactly ”dumb.” He shows great bravery.

Papyrus believes in others just as much as he believes in himself. He has so much faith in his abilities that he waited outside of Undyne's house all night and begged her to accept him into the Royal Guard. Seeing his persistence, Undyne offered to train him, but instead gave him cooking lessons. His confidence in himself and others is so great that he interprets direct insults towards him as the protagonist trying to make themselves look bad so he can hurt them more easily, rather than the possibility that they dislike him.

He cooks spaghetti from time to time, though many characters seem to think that he is not very good at it. A potential explanation for this is the fact that Papyrus has never tried his own spaghetti, only cooking it because, as far as he can tell, "EVERYBODY ELSE LOVES IT!!!". He also learned how to cook from Undyne, who is not very good at cooking, as shown when the protagonist befriends her. According to Flowey, Papyrus's favorite food is "that oatmeal with the dinosaur eggs".

Papyrus loves puzzles and japes, as shown by the numerous puzzles he prepares for the protagonist as well as his collection of "complex tomes about puzzle creation". He takes offense to people attempting to skip or otherwise ignore his puzzles. Though his advanced puzzles may demonstrate his intellect, Papyrus also enjoys children's books and is somewhat childish with the decoration of his room. He collects action figures and disdains anime despite not having watched it before. He also believes that skeletons are warm and cuddly, while ghosts are spooky. Papyrus watches Mettaton's TV shows and admires him so much that he would move to Hotland, a region that he hates.

Papyrus is implied to be deeply lonely; he wants to join the Royal Guard in order to be popular and loved by the people of the underground. This desire to be favored among the crowd runs so deep that Papyrus will change his opinion on any given subject on the spot just to gel in with the majority. He does not get much attention from the people of Snowdin compared to the much calmer and more amiable Sans, which is further evidenced by the two's mailboxes: Sans's is packed with junk mail while Papyrus's is empty, with the latter claiming that it is "[HIS] EMPTINESS, NOT YOURS." Shortly before the protagonist fights him, Papyrus exclaims that he "[DOESN'T] EVER WONDER WHAT HAVING LOTS OF FRIENDS IS LIKE". His desperation for companionship allows Flowey to manipulate him into calling the protagonist's friends to the barrier.

Undyne is a piscine, anthropomorphic monster. She has red and blue fins on the sides of her head, blue scales, a long red ponytail and a pair of sharp, yellow, protruding teeth. She wears a red eyeshadow and has an eyepatch over her left eye. She also wears a black tank top and blue jeans, but debuts in armor varying in light and dark shades of gray. Her eyes have black vertical pupils and yellow sclera. Undyne has no nose.

During the date with Alphys, Undyne wears a white turtleneck under a black leather jacket, a scarf around her neck, pants, lipstick, a light-colored eyepatch, and lets some of her hair down.

Undyne is hot-blooded and passionate about everything that she does. She acts quickly on her ideas and is steadfast in her beliefs. Though she wants to kill the protagonist, she also makes an attempt to be fair and offers an explanation of how green mode works. Her training with Asgore taught her the value of pacifism, which is why Undyne sees the protagonist as "a wimpy loser with a big heart".

Undyne has the crudest vocabulary of any character in the game, being the source of the majority of the mild expletives. She also comes close to using stronger language in one of her phone calls. When Undyne was younger, she followed Gerson around much like how Monster Kid follows her.

Undyne loves to help others and mentors Shyren and Papyrus in various skills. She dislikes puzzles, loves japes, enjoys playing the piano, collecting weaponry, primarily swords, and anime. The latter interest is shared with her romantic interest, Alphys. Since Alphys told Undyne that anime is human history, Undyne regards human history as exciting.

Undyne enjoys greasy food, particularly the cheese fries at Grillby's. She also enjoys eating limes whole. She dislikes cold food and soda, having a "Hot Fridge" created by Alphys to remedy the former, though she still keeps bottles of soda, most likely for Alphys. Out of all encountered monsters, Undyne possesses the most determination.

Alphys is a short, yellow lizard monster who shares a similar height with the protagonist. Her head consists of a set of sharp-pointed head crests, a pair of round glasses that does not cover her eyelashes, beady black eyes, and a pair of protruding square buck teeth that is constantly visible. Depending on the direction she is facing, it is depicted as as a set of two or four teeth. Alphys has clawed hands, wears a long-sleeved, large white lab coat with her three-toed feet being visible, and her tail jutting out.

On Alphys's date with the protagonist, she wears a polka dot dress a friend picked for her.

Alphys's posture is somewhat hunched over, with her arms and feet curled toward each other, reflecting her anxiousness.

Alphys is a shy introvert who is passionate in her work and interests. She has low self-esteem, makes self-deprecating comments, and devalues her skills at times. True to her occupation as a scientist, Alphys is intelligent, analytical, and observant. She occasionally theorizes on matters, and can create thorough plans from those theories. Alphys can create inventions that use both metal and magic, such as a "magical spear repair kit". She is adept in programming robotics, and mechanical engineering.

The failure of Alphys's experiments with determination overwhelmed her with guilt and insecurity, causing her to procrastinate. Socially, Alphys tends to be avoidant and anxious. Alphys also favors being appealing to others, and resorts to lying or hiding secrets to avoid disappointing herself and others. However, Alphys concealing the truth has caused her to become depressed and remorseful.

At the end of the True Pacifist Route, Alphys is honest with her intentions and is not ashamed.

Asides from her scientific and mechanical work, Alphys's hobbies include enjoying human anime, manga, and video games. Alphys is fond of posting online content, writing walkthroughs for games, though she prefers giving puzzle solutions as a last resort, shipping, and writing fanfiction. Alphys also has crushes on multiple characters 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.

While anxious, Alphys has a tendency to stutter. It worsens when she is flustered. When outspoken, Alphys can yell enthusiastically, which can be represented with uppercase dialogue and multiple exclamation marks. In situations where Alphys explains her interests, she does not pause, which is represented by the text box automatically closing.

Prior to her stress, Alphys documented her research formally. After becoming overwhelmed with guilt, she wrote informally in her later research entries, such as lowercase and omitting punctuation. In Alphys's UnderNet statuses, she uses shorthanded internet slang and text emoticons, and can also make ASCII art. Her physical handwriting is described as being difficult to read.

Prior to the events of Undertale, Alphys was neighbors with Bratty and Catty. She often invited them to the garbage dump to find new items, though she primarily collected anime. At some point, Alphys saw an advertisement for the "Human Fanclub" and met Mettaton at one of the fanclub's meetings. In an attempt to impress Asgore and aid Mettaton, she created a mechanical body for the latter. With her success, Asgore appointed Alphys as the Royal Scientist. This ended the lengthy vacancy in the Royal Scientist position that began with the disappearance of former Royal Scientist W.D. Gaster.

At an unspecified point in time, Alphys started conducting research on SOULs at Asgore's request, with the goal to break the barrier. She had searched everywhere for information on humans, including Asgore's Home. Using the True Lab's DT Extraction Machine, Alphys distilled determination from the six collected human SOULs before injecting it into a number of monsters who had "fallen down" and a potential vessel, a golden flower. With the research seemingly yielding no results, Alphys notified the subjects' families. However, the determination-infused monsters soon merged into Amalgamates, and the flower vanished. Out of fear of everyone's reactions, Alphys stays in the Lab and avoids inquiries.

Eventually, Alphys resumed her visits to the garbage dump. One day, Undyne found Alphys staring at the garbage dump's abyss, and became friends with her.

The story begins with Frisk's fall on the golden flowers.

They got up and walk forward to the passage to Ruins, where they encounter Flowey. The treacherous flower tries to deceive Frisk, claiming that in this world is a "kill or be killed" world. He attacks the child, but Toriel saves them from death.

Afterward, Toriel takes Frisk to her home, heals them, bakes a cinnamon-butterscotch pie, and tries to protect them from the dangers of the outer Underground. She wants the child to stay with her forever. But after falling asleep and taking the pie into inventory, Frisk insists on leaving.

To prove readiness to survive, the child fights Toriel. Instead of attacking, Frisk repeatedly chooses "Spare." Realizing that the child cannot be contained, Toriel tearfully releases them and asks never return.

After leaving the Ruins, Frisk finds themselves in a Snowy forest. There, they meet the lazy but perceptive Sans and his hyperactive brother, Papyrus, who dreams of capturing a human to join the Royal Guard.

Further along the path, Papyrus builds harmless traps (puzzles) for Frisk. At the end of the location, when child gets to the Snowdin town a battle ensues. Frisk doesn't attack the skeleton. Papyrus "surrenders" and offers to be friends.

After the battle, Frisk returns back to Snowdin, to Sans's and Papyrus house and visits brothers. They have a fun "date" (or friendly hangout) with Papyrus, cementing their friendship.

After Snowdin, Waterfall follows. The leader of the Royal Guard, Undyne, furiously pursues Frisk to claim his soul for King Asgore. Frisk helps Napstablook (a music-loving ghost) and get to know Monster Kid better.

At one point, after yet another chase, Frisk falls into a trash can and dreams of memories of the first human to fall (Chara) and Asriel in their first encounter.

In the final of Waterfall, Undyne chases Frisk onto a bridge leading to Hotland. Due to the heavy armor, she faints from the heat. Frisk shows mercy: they fill a cooler with water and pour it on Undyne. She leaves silently.

After a while, human along with Papyrus, returns to Undyne's home. Trying to force a "friendship," Undyne throws a crazy cooking lesson, which ends in a fire in her house and almost another fight with Frisk. Eventually, she recognizes Frisk as a friend.

In Hotland, after befriending a fish, Frisk meets the Royal scientist Alphys in her lab. She admits she's been secretly observing the human's journey and wants to help. During a trek through the Hotland, the killer robot Mettaton, created by Alphys, arranges dangerous TV shows for Frisk (cooking, a quiz show, an opera). It is later revealed that Alphys orchestrated these dangers to appear helpful in Frisk's eyes.

In the CORE, Mettaton transforms into his "Ex" form (Mettaton EX). Frisk defeats him not by force, but by boosting the show's ratings with their actions and fashion. The robot runs out of power, but realizes how much his fans love him.

Frisk reaches the capital of the Underground — New Home. Once at home similar to Toriel ones, Frisk take a worn dragger and a Heart Locket — golden heart pendant with the inscription "Best Friends Forever", (The "Best Friends Forever" description alludes to the Chara's relationship with Asriel) Along the way to long corridor, familiar monsters from previous locations tell Frisk the tragic story of the deceased Prince Asriel and the first human. In a long corridor, Sans judges Frisk. Since Frisk has 0 EXP, Sans praises them for kindness. In the Throne Room, King Asgore does not want to fight, but is obliged to do so for his people.

He destroys the "Spare" button, and child was forced to fight until Asgore's health is reduced to a minimum. Frisk refuses to finish off the king, but Flowey suddenly appears, kills Asgore, and steals six human SOULS, transforming into Photoshop Flowey (Omega Flowey). With the help of the rebellious human SOULS, Frisk defeats Flowey and spares him despite all threats. Flowey escapes, hinting at how to achieve the "best ending."

The game is restarted (or continued from a save before fight with Asgore). To achieve the True Pacifist, Frisk fulfills the final conditions. They delivers a love letter from Alphys to Undyne, leading to a hilarious date between the two girls in the junkyard with Papyrus appearance. Later, On Papyrus's advice, Frisk descends into the basement of Alphys's lab. There, the child discovers the True Lab. Frisk learns of Alphys's horrific experiments with "Determination." She tried to save the dying monsters (fallen down), but their bodies melted and merged into terrifying creatures — Amalgamets.

Frisk resolves the matter, calming the Amalgamets without using force, and Alphys decides to tell the entire Underground the truth.

Frisk goes to confront Asgore again, but the battle is interrupted. Toriel, Papyrus, Undyne, Alphys, and Sans arrive to protect Frisk from the king's fight, but Flowey appears, trapping all of their friends in vines. It turns out he deliberately lured all of Frisk's friends to one place through Papyrus, taking advantage of his naivety.

Flowey absorbs the SOULS of all the monsters in the Underground and six human souls. With godlike power, Flowey transforms into his true form — Asriel Dreemur. He then transforms into the God of Hyperdeath, Asriel blocking all of Frisk's actions. On the brink of death, Frisk refuses to give up. Using the "Save" button, the child taps into the souls of their friends inside Asriel, restoring their memories.

Frisk "rescues" the tearful Asriel itself. The prince realizes that Frisk is not Chara (the first human), but a completely different, kind child and accept them this way.

Asriel uses the full power of souls to permanently destroy the Barrier holding the monsters back. He returns the souls to their owners, knowing he himself will soon be transformed back into the soulless flower Flowey.

Frisk awakens surrounded by their friends. The Barrier has been destroyed. Frisk wanders the entire Underground and speaks with all the monsters one last time.

In the final scene, Frisk, along with Toriel, Asgore, Sans, Papyrus, Undyne, and Alphys, watches the real sunset on the Surface. The monsters leave to build new lives, and Frisk makes a choice — stay with Toriel. Afterward, they both leave to join their friends.
