Glyde

Glyde is an optional miniboss that can be encountered outside of the Mysterious Door in Snowdin Forest. It was designed by Mike Reid as a bought-in character during Undertale's Kickstarter.
To encounter Glyde, the protagonist must enter the Mysterious Door's cave and move for at least two minutes. This encounter must happen before the fight with Papyrus, and if any fleeable Snowdin enemies were not killed. Otherwise, Glyde does not appear. Alternatively, if at least one monster was killed, the encounter must happen before the date with Papyrus and before Snowdin Forest's kill counter is exhausted at 16 kills.
== Profile ==
=== Personality ===
Glyde is excessively pretentious and rude, which is present through its actions and words. Glyde does anything to get the protagonist's attention, and even gets jealous of itself at times.
== In Battle ==
=== Attacks ===
* Waves of star-shaped bullets are sent towards the protagonist, similar to the final boss of the Neutral Route.
* Same as before, but larger, exploding versions of star-shaped bullets accompany it in-between waves, random words appearing after a huge star explodes:
** COOL
** VIBIN
** RAD
** NICEY
** SPICEY
** SWEET
** SICK
* Rarely, Glyde says one of its lines as if about to perform a normal attack, but then no projectiles appear. The probability of this happening is 1%.
=== Strategy ===
* To spare it, the protagonist must applaud it twice and then either do "nothing" three times or "nothing" twice followed by "boo".

== Trivia ==
* Glyde's name was likely decided by Mike Reid, the Kickstarter backer who had Glyde put into the game. Glyde is an obsolete spelling of glide, referring to how Glyde has no legs and can be seen as floating or levitating.
* Glyde may be a reference to the Mortasheen monster, Twileye, in both shape and personality. Mortasheen is a fictional world full of monsters created by Jonothan Wojcik.
* Glyde's encounter method may have been inspired by the requirements to enter Belch's Factory in EarthBound, where Ness must stand still for three minutes to enter.
* Glyde does not appear in the True Pacifist Ending Credits.
*Glyde appears in the Hard Mode's tarot card despite not being part of it.
