Undyne

## Description

Undyne is a fish monster, whose looks she gets from her mothers, Freja and Valorie. Her red hair comes from Freja and her blue skin from Valorie. She has gills on her chest and regular fish scales for skin [21]. She possesses a single row of shark's teeth that are constantly replaced over time [32]. She used to have to shave most of her head to get her specific hair style, but eventually monster physiology caused her hair to naturally grow that way [60].

She is particularly susceptible to dehydration in hot environments, but will quickly recover if water is applied to her skin [14]. She is prone to making broad assumptions about groups of people, though she has improved in the last year [55]. Her hair is brushed by Alphys [57].

She was the head of the New Royal Guard for about a week before losing the position and shares a room with Alphys in the Monster House.

## Abilities

### Known Spells

Green magic (target cap of 5-6 [42])

Magic Eye

Monster Cooking

Pyromancy (Domestic)

Summoning (spears)

### Physical Techniques and Qualities

**Enhanced speed [5] -** Undyne can run faster than the speed limit, so she never learned how to drive [5]. She also doesn't seem to be affected by terrain, as her speed has been unaffected by heavy snow when getting Frisk to School [6].

**Enhanced strength -** Undyne's upper limit of lifting in terms of the overhead lift is 500 pounds, a level only a few humans could possibly match [67]. She did break the Pit's ring with a single punch and is capable of casually supplexing boulders [34]. \* (Destruction of the Pit's ring requires more power than it would take to lift 500 pounds. A followup ask is needed.) Undyne is capable of lifting the entire cast but would struggle due to the quantity rather than the weight [69].

**High amount of Determination -** Due to this, Undyne is capable of Refusal, thus creating her Undying form.

**Royal Guard Captain-level restraint** [17] **-** Undyne only knows how to either be gentle with or completely obliterate an opponent, which is good for law enforcement, but isn't good for wrestling because she cannot fake hurting someone badly [10].

**Aquatic physiology -** Thanks to her gills, Undyne is capable of breathing underwater.

### Skills

Musical - When Undyne plays the piano, she plays extremely aggressively, risking damage to the keys [31]. She will sometimes have loud jam sessions with Alphys, who accompanies on the saxophone [62].

Cooking - The only foods she knows how to make are toast, pancakes, and spaghetti, hence her choice of dish she trained Papyrus to make [40].

Mathematics - She isn't very good at math [24].

Swordsmanship - While swords are not Undyne's preferred weapon, she is nonetheless competent with one [64].

### Last Seen Stats

**ATK:** 7

**DEF:** 0

\*She's wearing a Santa coat for some reason.

## History

### Pre-AFAC

Undyne was a problem child when she was young, and was routinely sent to the CORE for community service. During her time there, Gaster began running tests on her in preparation to send her into the void before being stopped by Sans and Alphys [13].

Undyne lost her left eye when the CORE exploded. She screamed, ran into town before passing out, and was brought to the hospital by strangers. Her moms showed up and after all the love and care shown to her by her moms, the doctors, and other people, she became a kinder person [12]. Undyne had a few crushes but was too awkward to do anything with them. Though she wrote love letters, she would eat them before she could muster the courage to send them. This practice followed her into adulthood [45]. She initially didn't like *The Little Mermaid* because she got called Ariel too many times because of her hair. She now prefers Mulan due to the sword count [46].

Some time after losing her eye, she went to challenge Asgore and her classmates went to watch. She eventually collapsed in exhaustion without landing a single hit and Asgore offered to train her. As she trained, once she became strong enough, suplexing boulders became a part of her exercises [59]. When she was an adult, she finally managed to knock him down.

She beat Freja to become Captain of the Royal Guard after Hanah fell and was killed by Asgore, having never seen a real human before Frisk [19]. She approached Sans to see if he was strong enough to get into the Royal Guard and he beat her through trickery, causing her to hire him on the spot [33].

When she tried to capture them, a combination of wanting the honor of capturing the final human soul and a tendency toward losing her head caused her to kill them several times, despite her training [18]. When Frisk finally came up with the idea to run away, Undyne followed them to Hotland and upon reaching it, a combination of her unprotected armor and her physiology caused her to faint from heatstroke [25].

During their trip to Japan, Undyne and Alphys ate a lot of japanese food, at one point burning their mouths on extra-spicy takoyaki. Undyne's favorite food was udon because of its "slurpability" [37].

### Red Echoes

Alphys and Undyne were with Mettaton during his tour in Japan. During this time, the received correspondence from the Youkai Emperor telling them that they were not ready to reveal their presence to the Japanese public and to not tell anyone about them. Upon returning, Frisk and Asgore were filled in, but the information remains need-to-know [51].

They returned later in the arc and Undyne shows off the life-size buster sword she had traditionally made. She later accompanies the main cast to find Frisk on Mount Ebott when they ran off. Gaster teleported her and the rest of the cast to Waterfall in time to stop Chara from killing the Riverperson and after Chara holds Sans's body hostage, she turns their soul green. Undyne recalls the genocide run when Frisk reminds the cast and she remarks on how cool she was. After Chara is expelled from Sans, she and the others return back to Monster Town at the end of the arc.

### Sweet Dreams and Nice Creams

Undyne's first appearance in this arc is in a cameo of her file in Entry 17. She and Alphys are later seen getting up for their day, and Undyne is revealed to sleep in the nude. Undyne comments on how odd it is that she isn't freaking out about the askers. Undyne asks Alphys if they should kiss and Alphys tells her to "come down here and find out". Her final appearance is with the main casts waiting for Frisk to decide whether or not to tell Aidrian they are alive.

### Extra Dark Chocolate

Undyne's first appearance in the arc is when she punches Aidrian in the face for kicking Papyrus in the face. After Alphys pokes the portal behind the couch, the main cast remembers Frisk's battle against the God of Hyperdeath and Undyne talks about how amazing it was. After the askers revealed that Frisk freed the monsters and how they survived in the Underground, Aidrian confronts Undyne about trying to kill Frisk and she responds by reminding Aidrian that she tried to hurt Papyrus. Undyne recounts the story of how she lost her eye and says that she doesn't need depth perception to hit people with spears if she chucks a lot of them. Frisk tells her that they could still dodge and Undyne counters by saying that Frisk could reset.

She later joins Alphys, Gaster, Frisk, Aidrian, and Jason in watching Alphys's security tapes of Frisk's journey. When Frisk recounts their date with Papyrus in shockingly poor phrasing, Undyne holds Aidrian back from killing him. She then joins the rest of the cast in screaming when Papyrus asks Mettaton out on a date.

When Mettaton begins to help Frisk bake the chocolate ghost cake, Undyne shouts out a very destructive recipe and Mettaton tells her to go get edible glitter. Alphys accompanies her to Trash Mart. Along the way, she talks about her moms. After arriving, Undyne runs into Harlowe Garamond and they chat before the askers bring up the subject of the mugging from the previous night. Undyne decides to confront Aidrian about ripping off Braids' arm.

After they part ways, Undyne and Alphys talk about getting the Royal Guard reinstated for a moment before Freja attacks her. Alphys jumps in the way and Freja stops just before hitting her neck. Undyne complains about getting attacked in a grocery store and Freja tells her that her enemies will not spare her just because she's in a grocery store.

Freja mentions that Maverick is in the store watching them and Undyne beats the crap out of him while Alphys and Freja talk. They take Maverick back to the Monster House and Undyne turns his soul green before she and Papyrus do a good cop bad cop routine on him.

### ¡Eclipse Total!

Undyne's first appearance is as the gym teacher where she is instructing the Dogs of Hyperdeath in how to make a barrier spell. Frisk mentions that they can't use magic and she tells them to just practice dodging. After they are revealed to be a wizard, Undyne takes them to an office to speak with Toriel and Alphys.

Undyne' final appearance this arc is playing the piano as part of the musical exorcism.

### The Most Fabulous Place on Earth

Undyne's first appearance in the arc is when she is buying coffee for her and Alphys. After a science lecture from Alphys, she recounts her training with Aidrian. The askers trick her into getting on the ferris wheel and she and Alphys run into Miu Lacasse, and learn she was the author of Mew Mew Kissy Cutie.

On the ferris wheel, Undyne attempts to get the ferris wheel to speed up by saying a fake command word and when this doesn't work, she accidentally breaks one of the compartment's windows. Alphys proposes to her, presenting her with a ring. Unfortunately, the compartment starts to descend suddenly and the ring goes out the broken window. Undyne smashes the door off and jumps after the ring while eagerly accepting.

Her final appearance in the arc is sitting with Alphys, Papyrus, and Mettaton in the VIP box to watch the play.

### Drop Down Town

Undyne's first appearance is in a flashback in Aidrian's apartment where she was talking about Undyne's training sessions.

Her first actual appearance is when she comes to Asgore and tells him that he needs to reinstate the Royal Guard. Asgore argues that doing so would make the humans assume that the monsters are preparing for war and an asker asks if something happened. Undyne reveals that the previous night, humans came into monster town with effigies shaped like monsters and burned them in the streets. Asgore reluctantly agrees and comes up with a terrible name for the new organization but Undyne convinces him that they could just call it the Royal Guard.

Papyrus enters, excited that the Royal Guard is getting reinstated and hurriedly gushes about how much good he can do in the Guard. Undyne shuts him down, telling him that he can't be in the Royal Guard. Papyrus is shocked and asks why and Undyne explains that he's too kind for a job like this and that he'll get killed. Payrus asks if that's why she started giving him cooking lessons and she reluctantly says yes.

Undyne appears in a cameo of the people in Papyrus's life in the next scene.

When Asgore held a press conference announcing the formation of the Royal Guard, Undyne was standing next to him in full armor, and was feeling awkward and nervous about being out of place, so when a reporter for the Daily Banff asked her for a comment, she yelled "WHAT DO YOU WANT" at him, which he reported as roaring at him [20].

When attending the Pit to watch Aidrian and Flowers's match, Papyrus challenged her to a duel for the position of Captain of the Royal Guard. She jumped from the stands into the ring, chewed him out, and then threw him across the ring. To her surprise, Papyrus managed to get up, and when she charged in, he threw her. However, she got him with green magic, and threw a bunch of spears at him. He countered with bones as a shield and when she got too close, he punched her in the face, knocking a tooth out. It was at this point that Undyne realized she could actually lose if she didn't take the match seriously [26].

In her moment of hesitation, Papyrus uses telekinesis to throw Undyne upwards. She sticks the landing on the ceiling [28] responds by pushing of the ceiling with such force that the resulting punch completely destroys the ring. As the dust fills the air, Undyne realizes that she might have killed Papyrus [27], and he emerges asking if she wants to continue. Undyne tells him she could have killed him as they fence spear to bone and Undyne disarms him before Papyrus grabs the spear and breaks it over his knee and hugs her. Undyne tells him that he can't solve every problem with hugs and Papyrus agrees and wins the match with a suplex.

## The Buster Sword

Undyne commissioned a japanese blacksmith to create a life-size, completely functional buster sword that could be used in actual combat. It was the smith's first forays into such work, but he put his all into it. Even so, Undyne still finds the sword a little too slow and heavy, but she wanted it to be accurate to what Cloud Strife would use [64]. She keeps it underneath her and Alphys's bed [63].
