Papyrus (Undertale)

Papyrus is a character introduced in the 2015 video game Undertale. He is a skeleton with a large ego who aspires to join the Royal Guard, and also the brother of Sans and friend of Undyne. He is eternally optimistic, and despite wanting to capture the human to prove himself, finds himself befriending the human instead. He does not appear in Deltarune, but has been alluded to. He was created by Toby Fox with support from Temmie Chang. He was originally envisioned as a creepy person who wears a fedora and has no redeeming qualities, though Fox did not like this idea, so he scrapped it. His character communicates with the Papyrus typeface, which had to be changed to a "faux hand-drawn vertical script" when translated into Japanese.

Undyne

Undyne is a fictional character in the 2015 video game Undertale and episodic video game Deltarune. In Undertale, she is a monster who serves as the captain of the Royal Guard of the Underground under its king, Asgore. She is initially an antagonist to the player character, but depending on the player's actions over the course of the game, she may become their ally, their rival or their nemesis. If the player makes a point of killing every monster possible, Undyne will transform into Undyne the Undying upon death, vowing to destroy the player in order to save all other life from their actions. She is a lesbian, revealed to be in love with Alphys.

Alphys

Alphys is a character in the 2015 video game Undertale and the 2018 video game Deltarune. She is a bisexual reptilian monster who serves as the royal scientist under the leader of the Underground, Asgore, and is a fan of anime and manga. She is friends with Mettaton, a robot, and the captain of the Royal Guard, Undyne, who in the True Pacifist route becomes her girlfriend. She lives with social anxiety and depression, and the depiction of her struggles with these have been the subject of praise and commentary by critics. She watches the player-character throughout the game, offering guidance at some points, though with limited benefit. She is revealed to have dark secrets, including ones that relate to experimentation. She also appears in Deltarune as a school teacher.

Flowey

Flowey the Flower is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the 2015 video game Undertale, developed by Toby Fox. Flowey is the first NPC the player encounters in the game and introduces himself as a "friendly" and "helpful" talking flower, before quickly revealing himself to be a malevolent, megalomaniacal, and homicidal entity who abides by a "kill or be killed" philosophy.

Toriel

Toriel is a character introduced in the 2015 role-playing video game Undertale, acting as the first area boss. A motherly figure created as an embodiment of excessive video game tutorials, she is a member of the monster race and has hanging ears, small horns, white fur, and a purple robe. As with other bosses, the player must choose between killing her and convincing her to stop fighting, dictating the overall direction of the story. She also appears in Deltarune in a different role.

Sans (Undertale)

Sans is a character in the 2015 video game Undertale. He is the brother of Papyrus and initially appears as a friendly NPC with an easy-going, laid-back personality. Sans is also featured in the episodic video game Deltarune, where he can primarily be found at his shop, which is a remodeled version of Grillby's Diner from the original game. Sans was created by Toby Fox with support from the artist Temmie Chang. The character's name is based on the Comic Sans font, which is used for most of his in-game dialogue. This sans typeface was replaced with a "cutesy irreverent typeface" in the Japanese version of the game.
