Monsters/Elemental Monsters

Elementals are monsters that are personifications of elements, substances, and concepts, but are also a catchall for monster that don't fit into the Beast and Undead categories [53]. Their appearances are wildly different from each other, but always reflect their element. Their personalities tend to reflect one of the natures of their elements as well. They tend to be good at magic that affects their element [1]. They have a great deal of control over their element and cannot accidentally go out of control [2]. Most elementals do not need to breathe [37].

When plant monsters came to the surface, they likely reacted to the sunlight the same way Jason reacted to nicecream [3].

## True Elementals

### Annoyance Elementals

**Known Monsters:** Jerry [5].

No one told Jerry everyone was going to the Surface, but he found his way there anyways [62].

### Card Elementals

Card elementals are broken up into categories of the kind of card they embody [64].

###### Joker/The Fool

**Known Monsters:** Jevil

Joker or Fool elementals embody the randomness and nonconformity associated with the cards. As a result, their magic and abilities follow this trend [64].
Jevil is not a darkner in AFAC and didn't go through the trauma his Deltarune counterpart went through. He only wants to have fun and is completely harmless [63].

### Clay Elementals

These are monsters made of clay, not golems, which are nonliving constructs [45].

### Fire Elementals

**Known Monsters:** Grillby, Midori, Jeffrey [11]

Fire elementals are made of living fire. They only burn you if they want to [12]. They also require oxygen to maintain their flames and will go out if deprived of it [58]. They are immune to fire, but can be killed with fire magic due to the hatred within the spell's intent rather than the heat [59]. Their flames do not have internal organs, being pure fire [60], but how nutritious a non-monster food item is when consumed is determined by how flammable ranging from logs being very with water being lethal [61]. While they do not bathe, they do have their clothes washed regularly [72]. They can easily swim in lava and sculpt molten metal with their bare hands [75].

Small amounts of water will injure a fire elemental, larger amounts can disfigure them, a rainstorm is lethal if the elemental can't find shelter quickly enough and being thrown in a pool is a death sentence [73].

### Idea Elementals

**Known Monsters:** Blinkany Bulbtonshire [14]

These elementals are good at problem solving and full of creativity. Wizards descended from them are called Muses [15]

### Uranium Elementals

They wear hazmat suits to protect those around them [24].

### Water Elementals

**Known Monsters:** Marina

Only some elementals are capable of bringing themselves to a boil, but they cannot maintain this state for more than a few hours lest they turn into vapor [70].

## Fae and Others

### Angels

They are winged humanoid monsters who are were named angels by humans, who are actually closely related to demons and don't consider themselves a separate race most of the time. After the Church decided that the appearances of these monsters resembled angels, they eventually accepted their designation [55] and would sometimes take advantage of humans' assumptions about what they actually were to make them more agreeable when targeted. After all, if a human thinks you’re either sent by God, they’re a lot more likely to take you seriously. [4] Not all angels have haloes. It usually takes the form of an intangible ring or disc that floats behind the head. They vary in appearance, with reports of haloes resembling phases of the moon, tree branches, and horns [54]. Angels described in the Bible look drastically different and these monsters are definitively not those creatures. Angels never have access to an Innate possession ability [55]. An angel is not definitively a demon or an angel appearance-wise is known as a nephilim [56].

Initially Angels had names common to whatever region they lived in, but in modern times it is common for them to be named after angels or demons in various religious texts [78].

### Candy Devils

**Known Monsters:** Succurose [28]

Candy devils result from the union of a succubus and a taffy elemental [79].

### Corn Monsters

When these monsters reproduce with a sugar monster, there is chance the child will be a taffy elemental due to taffy's high levels of corn syrup [80].

### Corn Doll Monsters (Corporeal Ghost)

**Known Monsters:** Braids

Corn doll monsters seem to have attacks related to corn: barriers of cornstalks, and corn kernel shrapnel.

### Dryads

These monsters have connections to trees and when two male satyrs needed a surrogate for child incubation, one of them or a naiad would usually provide [51].

### Dwarves

Dwarves are usually around 4 feet tall, but range from 3 feet at the lowest to 5 feet at maximum. They have stocky builds and start growing beards the moment they can start growing hair regardless of gender. The beards are braided and intricately decorated. They also have a strong affinity for earth and stone [30]. Dwarves have historically had a rivalry with elves, despite both being fae [29]. This seems to have come from dwarven culture centering around community and loyalty while elven society focuses on the value and power of individuality, though outside threats will get the two races to work together [30]. It is very difficult to tell them apart from a short stocky human [52]. They are more closely related to elves than orcs or trolls [66].

### Elves

Elves look like humanoids with pointed ears [6] and incapable of growing facial hair with an affinity for the natural world [30].Wizards descended from them are called Half-Elves [7]. They usually have 5 fingers [8]but vary drastically in appearance depending on subspecies. As a whole, they range from 4 to 7 feet all and their hair, skin, and eyes can come in any shade. Generally they are thin and willowy and some have insect wings, though some have bird wings. Some have glowing eyes, colorful freckles, or an affinity for shapeshifting or invisibility spells, but despite all this variation, they are all the same species [30]. Historically, elves have had a rivalry with dwarves, despite both being fae [29]. This seems to have come from elven culture focusing on the value of individuality while dwarven society has the tenets of community and loyalty, though outside threats will cause the two races to band together [30]. It is difficult to tell an elf apart from a tall, willowy human [52]. They are more closely related to dwarves than orcs and trolls [66].

*Dark Elves/Drow*

Known Monsters: The Sword of Justice

Drow are considered oddballs by other elves since they come about through unions of elves and dwarves [31]. They think of Faerun as an alternate universe and not a stand-in for the drow people [32].

*North Pole Elves*

They assist Santa Claus in his work. They are naturally short. They are difficult to tell apart from a short and festive human [52].

*Western European Elves*

These elves look more human, as those who did not were killed off by humans [9]

### Fairies

**Known Monsters:** Penna Pars, Cynthia [10]

Fairy is a blanket term for any fae monster with wings [84].

### Genies

Genies are from the middle east. Their bodies are partially spectral, and bind their souls to objects, though this is more akin to a hermit crab taking a shell than a ghost possessing an object. Such objects are usually ones they find beautiful. The idea of them granting wishes came about from one of two different interactions they commonly had with humans. Some humans would threaten to destroy the object they made home if the genie did not obey them, while others would help the genie with a task and in gratitude, the genie would perform an act of magic for them. A genie's magic does not come close to the power and versatility seen in Aladdin [25].

Despite not being as corporeal as a regular monster, a genie can still be affected by physical attacks [26].

### Gargoyles

Gargoyle monsters turn to stone when they sleep [82]. A petrified gargoyle is functionally a stone statue with traces of magic and a soul, and gains a resistance to killing intent [83].

### Goblins

Goblins are rarely enjoy how human media portrays them, but are also fairly jaded [76].

*Goblins*

Regular goblins are quite small and due to human mistreatment on account of that fact, began lashing out at humans, gaining a reputation as troublemakers [81].

*Hobgoblins*

Hobgoblins are human sized and were thus taken more seriously than their smaller cousins. Much of their interaction with humans was through trade [81].

### Goo

**Known Monsters:** Hugh Mann

The difference between Goo monsters and slimes is akin to the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality [36]. Goo monsters clean themselves via a sieve [74].

### Halflings/Hobbits/Brownies/House Elves/Nisse

Halflings, hobbits, brownies, house elves, and Nisse are all regional names for the same type of creature. They are small humanoids, sometimes indistinguishable from tiny humans. Some have large hairy feet or have mouselike features such as buck teeth, round ears, or tails, but many of them have very round stomachs [38].

Some of them developed symbiotic relationships with certain humans involving housework, primarily due to their culture [68], but the reason they immediately stopped if the humans talked about them was because they needed protection if monster hunters caught wind of their presence [69].

### Homunculi

These are the results of ghosts transferring themselves to bodies made from dirt, clay, or some combination that may include dead flesh with a humanoid shape. This does not include a robot body, which creates different species entirely [45]. A homunculus created from dead flesh with no inorganic materials has a different typing than the entry here [49].

### Jubokko

These are tree yokai native to japan that feed on human blood. Some of them will feed on humans while they sleep and leave them none the wiser like most vampires, but because drinking more than they need allows them to grow stronger, others will kill humans to consume their blood. Sometimes after major battles, Jubokko will set up shop in the battle to consume blood, even implanting their roots in order to get any that soaked into the soil. As a result, humans learned to avoid any suspicious trees in the middle of a battlefield [46].

### Leprechauns

The myth of leprechauns having pots of gold at the end of rainbows was started by the leprechauns themselves in order to protect themselves. Humans are more likely to let them live if they think they can lead them to gold. Most leprechauns simply wish to be left alone and they have about as much interest in gold as humans. Due to their small stature and weak bodies, they have resulted to trickery to survive [16].

### Naiads

These monsters were monsters will connection to water. When two male satyrs needed a surrogate for child incubation, one of them or a dryad would act as one [51].

### Ningyo

These monsters are distinct from merfolk, in that they appear more like fish with some human characteristics instead of a human half and a fish half. An example would be Ponyo's fish form. They also maintained connection to the surface while merfolk camped out underwater. They move about on land under glamours to make themselves look like people in wheelchairs or using crutches since they find this easier than learning how to walk [57].

### Pixie

Pixies are any humanoid winged fae under 1 foot [84].

### Sprites

Sprites are any fae that are both small and are intrinsically linked with an "element" somehow. Specific types are designated by putting the element first followed by sprite (i.e. wood sprite) [84].

### Sugar Monsters

When these monsters reproduce with a corn monster, the resulting child can be a taffy monster [80].

### Trollkin

Ogres, huldra, trolls, and orcs are considered the same species, each being a different human name for the same creature. They tend to be tall and strong with a humanoid build and may or may not be green and have piglike features [38]. Trollkin are broken up into subcategories based on size and whether or not they were brought up Fae, though they often mix together [66].

*Trolls*

Trolls are generally taller than orcs [67]. True trolls are usually from scandinavia. Pranks and jokes are part of their culture and as such they are quite pleased with how their kind's name has become synonymous with internet trolling. Less than 1% of trolls are actual internet trolls though [77]. Many trolls turn to stone when they sleep, due to gargoyle heredity [82]. A petrified troll is functionally a stone statue with traces of magic and a soul, and gains a resistance to killing intent [83]. Normally Trolls are nocturnal, but those who hid in human society had to switch to being diurnal. Those on the Surface that didn't simply hid underground or under bridges [82].

*Orcs*

Orcs are generally shorter than trolls [67].

### Onion Monsters

Their descendants have a natural resistance to drying out [50].

### Possessed Airplanes

**Known Monsters:** Tsundere Plane [39]

Tsundereplane is an actual plane the size of a school bus with wings [40] that was possessed by a ghost and has onboard air conditioning. She is still susceptible to lava, should she get too close [41]. Tsundereplane does not rely of fuel to survive; it only powers her turbines, and will have to wheel herself around if she runs out [42]. Provided she is properly supplied with jet fuel, tsundereplane is capable of flying across an ocean [43]. In the Underground, Tsundereplane would make her own fuel out of rotting garbage [42]. Tsundereplane's maximum flying speed is roughly 500 mph, but she only does this above the clouds, and slows down when she's near the ground to avoid hurting people [44].

### Redcaps

Redcaps did not make a habit out of killing people and staining their hats in the blood. This tale was manufactured by humans [18].

### Robot Monsters

**Known Monsters:** Mettaton
Robot monsters are the result of a ghost possessing a humanoid machine. They are a distinct species from homunculi [45]. A technological breakthrough by Alphys created a method for a robot monster's body to be able to be repaired and upgraded, but as of today, the only qualifying monster is Mettaton [48].

### Sirens

Sirens use the Mind Reader spell to identify what a potential mark wants and then manipulate people by singing about how they can give it to them. Darker sirens will do this to cause shipwrecks so they can rob the remains, while better people will use this to create truly wonderful performances for an audience [65].

### Slime Monsters

**Known Monsters:** The Bleb, Moldsmal, Moldbyg

Slime monsters reproduce by breaking off a piece of themselves and mixing it with another slime's piece. Of course there can be more than two parents. The largest slime, Megagumm the Magnificent, had 52 parents [19]. Slime monsters do not break apart in water [20]. Slimes need a great deal of water to survive, which is absorbed through their membrane [27]. This is also how they take in oxygen [58]. The difference between slimes and goo monsters is akin to the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality [36].

Slimes clean themselves via a sieve [74].

### Snot Slimes

**Known Monsters:** Plumby [21]

Snot slimes clean themselves via a sieve [74].

### Spike Monsters

**Known Monsters:** Sir Spike

They are horns with legs and that's about it [22]

### Stick Figures

**Known Monsters:** Batai Bell

These monsters are not truly 2-dimensional, being around as thick as a thin pancake [71].

### Suzuhiko Hime

These monsters appear as women in shrine maiden garb but with a bell for a head. They age as normal, but remains small even after reaching maturity [46].

### Tooth Fairies

These little monsters enjoy collecting teeth to make art out of, ascribing the same value to them that humans do to gold and gems [34]. They also like collecting bones, but people are less likely to give up their bones and they don't like grave robbing, so they only rarely get ahold of those [33]. However, a creature willingly giving up their own bones as a proposal could be seen as a grand romantic gesture to them [35].

### Tsukumogami

This race of monsters arises from ghosts taking ordinary objects as bodies and is continued through their descendants. These descendants tend to look a lot less like actual tsukumogami due to looking like a combination of their parents [47].
