Asgore (Undertale Film)

Asgore Dreemurr is a character in the Undertale 2025 film. He is the ex-husband of Toriel, and the ruler of the Underground and its denizens, monsters. While not evil or malicious, he serves as one of the main antagonists, planning to kill seven humans and use their souls to break the barrier which traps the monsters in the Underground.
== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
Asgore is a monster with broad shoulders, a powerful bulky body, a golden blond mane/beard and two large curved horns. He wears a suit of armor, a purple cape with golden pauldrons, and a small crown on top of his head. The weapon he uses in battle is a long, red trident adorned with a flower. Asgore is shown to be the largest main character in the entire film. Towards the end of the film, Asgore appears to be more fat with a large gut rather than the broad-chested Herculean build he portrays: albeit he keeps his wide bulky appearance, his tall stature and especially his overall muscular limbs. This trick of appearance where Asgore seems more fit than he actually is likely fits into a common trope of fat characters sucking in their guts as an effort to look more intimidating, Asgore doing something similar by encasing himself in tight likely uncomfortable armor. However, during the credits he wears what looks to be a far more comfortable Hawaiian T-shirt which is pink in color and has white flowers alongside a simple pair of blue jeans. His arms are also shown to have stripes of yellow fur on top of them seemingly replicating the look of body hair.
=== Personality ===
Asgore is a kind and often quiet yet upbeat monster that enjoys gardening, Golden Flower Tea, and Toriel's Butterscotch Pie. Like his son, he speaks in southern slang (most notably "howdy" and "golly"). Before his battle, he offers Frisk many opportunities to explore the Underground and is reluctant to fight her at all; he even suggests that Toriel, Frisk and himself live as a family after she spares him.
Monsters in the Underground look to Asgore for hope, and his plan to collect seven human souls is one of the few things that keep them going. However, Asgore does not want to kill anybody and feels so guilty that he offers the protagonist his soul to "leave this cursed place." Though he is miserable because he has killed humans, he feels that it is his duty to his people to battle Frisk.
Asgore lives in the past and wants nothing more than to see his wife and child again, even though they have been gone for a long time. He reiterates the same phrase in his journal every day, perhaps in denial that life has changed since Asriel's demise.
Monsters also note that he is bad at naming places, with the names being quite literal (such as naming the monster's first home in the Underground "Home", and naming their new home "New Home"). Gerson suggests this may be because Asgore is not the most intellectual monster, with the smarter member of the royal family as well as the one which was actually running the city being Toriel.
=== Abilities ===
Asgore has the power to summon fire at will, which he uses against his battle against Frisk. He can also use special attacks with his trident.

== Differences from Game Character ==
*In the game, the player's MERCY button is destroyed by Asgore, giving them no choice but to fight Asgore. In the film, Frisk does not technically fight Asgore, and instead reflects his attacks, which end up hitting him as a result. Therefore, Frisk's "fighting" with Asgore can be seen as accidental.
