*"Human... It was nice to meet you. Goodbye."* - Asgore Dreemurr

## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Asgore Dreemurr**, the king of the Underground and the father of the late Asriel Dreemurr. He is gentle at heart, having a great love of gardening, Golden Flower Tea, and his former wife's signature Butterscotch Pie. Although he's sworn to release the monsters from the Underground by absorbing seven human SOULs, he is reluctant to kill any other humans due to the loss of his son and subsequent estrangement from his wife, Toriel. Regardless, he faces Frisk in his castle on the Neutral Route out of a sense of duty to his subjects, going so far as to destroy the MERCY button to ensure the battle's conclusion.

### Appearance

Asgore is a Boss Monster with an intimidating stature. He has broad shoulders, a golden-blond mane, two large curved horns, and a beard. He wears a suit of armor, a purple cape with golden pauldrons - with its edge dragging along the ground slightly - 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 (whether human or monster) in the entire game. Towards the end of the game, 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, after the True Pacifist Route 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 the protagonist many opportunities to explore the Underground and is reluctant to fight them at all; he even suggests that Toriel, the protagonist and himself live as a family if the protagonist spares him.

As evidence of his role as a powerful leader, most characters in the game refer to him in ALL CAPS and sometimes in red text, yellow text, or a combination of both. 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 the protagonist.

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 and his adopted child's demise. Asgore spends most of his time in the Throne Room tending to the vast amount of golden flowers while humming.

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

### Skills

#### Class Skills

* Magic Resistance (D (B) Rank): The ability to cancel or diminish the effects of magecraft used against oneself. Differently from the Resistance effect that merely rejects prana, this ability cancels the spells altogether. Lancer can cancel only E-rank spells. However, when his Monstrous Strength is active, he can nullify spells of C-rank and lower.

#### Personal Skills

* Monstrous Strength (EX Rank): An ability possessed by monsters and beasts, temporary boost of the Strength parameter at the price of their humanity for a time limit determined by the ranking of this skill. Lancer’s inhuman qualities are very strong, and he can fully embrace his heritage to increase his power further. He has two permanent ranks up to Strength, and can gain two additional positive modifiers for an hour once per day. His Magic Resistance is constantly one rank higher than it otherwise would be, and he gains two additional ranks for the duration of the effect.

As the King of Monsters, it is only right for Lancer to possess this skill at a rank higher than can be normally achieved.

* Authority of the King (A Rank): A skill that marks Lancer as the King of Monsters. This skill allows him to attempt to command other monstrous beings and Servants with an effect equivalent to an A-rank spell. If the target is affected by this skill, Lancer can give them a verbal command that they must obey.

* Monstrous Magecraft (B Rank): A Skill that encompasses the Projection Magic skill, as well as the ability to add certain traits to projections. Lancer cannot add trait to his projections, which are simply flames, but he can instead add both the “blue” trait, which only damages the target when they are moving, and the “orange” trait, which only damages the target while they are still, to Bergentruckung.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Bergentruckung; "I Will Not Accept Your Mercy"**

A representation of one of Lancer’s most memorable feats- completely removing an option in battle. Here, it is crystallized into his trident. When invoking the name of this Noble Phantasm, Lancer’s trident beings to glow red. When he lands a blow on his target, he forces them to attack, even if they normally would not. In effect, it forces the target into a battle to the death, for they will not even think of the option to spare Lancer, should they win. In addition, it seals one random skill of the target when hit.
