Undertale has evolved into a distinct masterpiece, boasting a cast of characters that have swiftly captured the hearts of fans worldwide. These charming personas take center stage, their emotional growth and endearing quirks making them utterly irresistible. While each character shines in their own right, there are undeniable standouts that will forever hold a special place in our affections.
As a devoted fan of Undyne, Monster Kid embodies the innocence and charm of Undertale. Known only as Monster Kid throughout the game, this enigmatic figure exudes curiosity and determination as they navigate the various realms of the game. Despite their captivating presence, one can’t help but lament the limited interactions with this captivating character. Each encounter leaves players longing for deeper insights into Monster Kid’s persona. While not shrouded in mystery, their boundless energy and unwavering excitement, particularly towards meeting Undyne, make them irresistibly charming. With a touch more character development, perhaps we could unravel the enigma of Monster Kid and gain invaluable insights into their true nature.
Flowey, the initial encounter in Undertale, greets players with a disarming smile that offers a semblance of comfort. Yet, beneath this facade lies an undeniable air of menace. From the outset, it’s evident that there’s a sinister aspect to his character. As the harbinger of mistrust, Flowey serves as a cautionary figure, instilling doubt in players’ hearts from the very beginning. With his ability to mimic the mannerisms and voices of others, he embodies deception, cunningly manipulating players with his feigned friendliness. Through this duplicitous persona, Flowey unveils the darker underbelly of the enigmatic realm players find themselves in, serving as a stark reminder to tread carefully in this unfamiliar world.
When you meet Asgore in Undertale’s end, it’s hard not to feel sorry for him. He’s the Underground’s ruler, protecting his denizens from harm. At his core, Asgore doesn’t want to be seen as evil, but he’ll do anything to protect his loved ones. In the Neutral or Pacifist route, Asgore grows fond of you. However, in the Genocide route, you won’t win his favor. Asgore’s fate depends on the player’s chosen path.
Encountering Napstablook in The Ruins marks the initial miniboss encounter, yet it’s evident they harbor no intention of causing harm. Subsequent encounters reveal their gentle nature, inviting you into their home to share in the enchanting melodies of their music, a welcome respite in a game renowned for its stellar soundtrack. While Napstablook remains shrouded in mystery, the tantalizing theory linking them to Mettaton adds an extra layer of intrigue, keeping players captivated by their enigmatic presence.
Alphys is an endearing character, evoking an immediate desire to offer her a comforting embrace upon first meeting. Perhaps it’s her timid and nerdy disposition that makes her so irresistibly lovable, or maybe it’s her role as your indispensable guide through the Underground. Residing in the lab nestled in western Hotland, Alphys serves as the royal scientist, her shyness evident in her demeanor. Despite her exceptional talents, she often diminishes her own worth, questioning her intellect and skills. Yet, with each interaction, Alphys effortlessly captures our affection, her phone calls serving as delightful reminders of her intrinsic value. If only she could see herself through the same adoring lens as her fans do.
Undyne, leading the Royal Guard, requires trust before revealing her tender side. Once her tough exterior crumbles, she emerges as one of Undertale’s sweetest characters. Initially, Undyne’s true warmth remains concealed. In Waterfall, she shadows the player until initiating combat, perceiving them as a significant threat. Despite this, her boss fight seems oddly intense, considering the player’s actual capabilities. However, upon defeat, she transitions to respect and becomes a steadfast friend.
This fabulous robot, built by Alphys, gives players the glamorous entertainment that they didn’t know they needed. Initially, it’s assumed that Mettaton is a bloodthirsty robot who was once a machine built for entertainment. However, the more you encounter him, the more you see that he’s far from being a killer. The situations Mettaton puts you in are some of the most charming moments in the game, such as the time he pretends to be the host of a cooking show. His cutscenes will bring a huge smile to your face. All in all, he shows endless care to his creator, Alphys, and is adored by the fanbase in return.
In the daunting world of Undertale, Sans emerges as a much-needed source of comedic relief. Initially appearing as a teddy bear-like figure, he exudes a sense of approachability. However, beneath this facade lies a sharp and sarcastic wit, which he gleefully employs at every opportunity. Earning Sans’ favor is effortless, as he immediately warms up to you upon a simple handshake. However, should you ever betray his trust, brace yourself for his formidable retribution and a surprising display of wrath. Unlike his diligent brother Papyrus, Sans embodies laziness and wit, harboring a mischievous nature reserved only for those he holds in high regard.
Toriel is not only a mother figure in Undertale, but also one of the greatest motherly figures in an indie game. She serves as the overall caretaker of the Ruins, saving you from Flowey’s deadly grasp in the beginning. Guiding you through the Ruins until she feels as though you’re ready to leave on your own, you quickly grow attached to her. Caring for children and having been excited to become a mother one day, Toriel protects you when you are at your weakest point. She also has a playful side that makes her laughter and jokes infectious, which makes leaving her in the beginning even harder.
Papyrus stands as the epitome of Undertale’s charm, embodying the game’s endearing spirit. Dubbing himself “The Great Papyrus,” he aspires to join the Royal Guard and capture a human, with you as his key. Initially, his ambitions may appear daunting as he relentlessly pursues you. However, beneath his comical bravado lies a genuine affection that grows swiftly, enveloping you with his whole skeletal being. Papyrus exudes boundless belief in both others and himself, encapsulating the overarching theme of determination that permeates Undertale’s captivating yet eerie journey.
