Lightners

Lightners are people (both humans and monsters) that exist in the real world, as opposed to the Darkners that inhabit the Dark Worlds. All Lightners depicted so far live in Hometown.
Unlike in Undertale, Lightners of both kinds possess the universal qualities of a SOUL, and according to Queen, the power of determination and the ability to create Dark Fountains.
== History ==
According to stories told by Darkners such as King and Seam, the Lightners were once the protectors of the Darkners, before they left them alone in the shadows. Seam explains that Lightners were seen as the "Gods", "protectors", "creators" and "those who gave [Darkners] purpose". One day however, the Darkners were locked away in the Dark World, and the Lightners were never seen by them again. During the final battle with King, King rants about how the Lightners abandoned him and his kingdom, and how he hates them all. King then goes on to say that the Knight has provided the purpose that the Lightners took from the Darkners, and that with the Knight, King will take revenge on the Lightners that abandoned him.

== Trivia ==
* In the Undertale 6th anniversary stream, Toby Fox revealed that he considered making everyone in the Light World humans, only to become monsters in the Dark World.
* Lightners, unlike Darkners, appear in black and white in their dialogue portraits.
*The biology between humans and monster Lightners still appears to be distinct as it is in Undertale. From the questions the Innkeeper's Child in Hometown asks Kris, monster Lightners apparently lack a circulatory system and a skeleton.
* In the Dark World, monster Lightners can use magic. As allies, monsters like Susie and Noelle can use magic to perform spells that does extra damage (via "Rude Buster" and "IceShock"), or heal a party member (via "UltimateHeal" and "Heal Prayer".) Although not a playable character and not being able to cast spells with, Berdly can summon miniature tornadoes, and use his halberd to attack with a line of scattered arrow bullets.
** However, Kris, a human Lightner, cannot cast magic. Despite the fact Kris can get magic from certain items, they cannot manifest it into a spell like the others. However, they can ACT instead.
