Jerry

Jerry is a monster that the protagonist encounters in Snowdin Forest. Jerry is unique in that it has no attack of its own, but instead causes other monsters' attacks to last two seconds longer than normal.
== Profile ==
=== Appearance ===
Jerry appears to be a monster shaped like a flying saucer. It has three dull, thick spikes on the top of its head, some black spots, very long narrow arms, four legs, two rectangular eyes on the widest portion of their body, and swollen lips.
=== Personality ===
Jerry's traits are similar to the stereotype "That Guy." Examples include profuse arrogance, disrespect, informal language, poor hygiene (licking its hands and sneezing without wiping), and ungratefulness. These traits generally cause Jerry to not be a satisfiable person in general, which explains why only the "Ditch" option is present. However, if the protagonist tells a joke in a battle where Snowdrake is present, it finds it funny and may even ask for more jokes from them, having equally positive reactions from more of their jokes. This satisfies it to the point of being spareable.
== In Battle ==
=== Appears With ===
* Snowdrake
* Ice Cap
* Chilldrake
=== Strategy ===
* Ditching Jerry causes it to disappear, but it returns after two or three turns. Sparing all other monsters while Jerry is ditched ends the fight.
* Jerry can immediately be spared if the protagonist has high enough AT.
* When Jerry appears with Snowdrake or Chilldrake and the protagonist makes a joke, Jerry can be spared.
* Due to its high defense, Jerry is surprisingly hard to kill, and takes around nine hits to kill with weapons obtainable before or in Snowdin. However, Jerry can be spared without aborting the Genocide Route.

== Trivia ==
* When attempting to name the Fallen Child "Jerry," the response is "Jerry." and the name is allowed to be used.
* Jerry's in-game function is that of a support member (e.g. Bard, Dancer), as its role is to bolster the offensive capabilities of other monsters.
** Ironically, while support members are usually considered welcome additions to the party in most RPGs, other monsters are shown to dislike Jerry's presence. Jerry itself also dislikes other monsters, despite supporting them.
* There is a bug that if Ice is complimented on the same turn as Jerry returns after being ditched, Jerry says what Ice would have if it was complimented while it still had its hat.
* Jerry does not show up in the True Pacifist Ending Credits.
* Jerry was designed by Magnolia Porter, creator of Monster Pulse. She also designed Monster Kid, Snowdrake, Ice Cap, and helped design Gyftrot.
* Toby has said on Twitter that he thinks all monsters in the game are good, except Jerry.Toby Fox [tobyfox] (6 October 2015). "OK, Jerry is an exception" Retrieved 8 December 2015.
** Although this tweet is likely meant to be interpreted as a joke, he may also be referring to Jerry's personality and mannerisms being negative and nearly irredeemable.
* The name 'Jerry' may be a reference to the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation, where Jerry is the character that everyone makes fun of.
* The line "Return of Jerry" when Jerry reappears during a battle is a reference to the 1988 game Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, which includes the text "RETURN OF GANON" on the game over screen, even when the game's language was in Japanese (spelled as GANNON instead). Because of this, the sentence was intentionally left untranslated in the Japanese translation to keep the reference.Legends of Localization Book 3: UNDERTALE, page 128, ISBN 9781945908019
