\* hey, kid. this page has content that isn't available anywhere in the main game without manipulating the save data, so... it might end up spoiling a couple things for you.

\* You wouldn't want to have a bad time, would you?

**W. D. Gaster** was the royal scientist before Alphys, responsible for creating the CORE. Gaster's Followers relay different explanations as to what happened to Gaster. One iteration says that he "fell into his creation," another says that "his experiments went wrong," and the last says that he "shattered across space and time." Characters such as the River Person and Gaster's Followers hint at his existence. Similar to Sans and Papyrus, he speaks in a typeface different from other characters.

## Profile

### Appearance

W. D. Gaster does not have a known official form, but there are several rooms and unused assets found in Waterfall that point to what he may have looked like.

#### Room 268 and 269

In **Room 269** (room\_mysteryman), a figure widely believed to be Gaster can be found. They are black and white with a distorted, cracked face. Unlike every other NPC, they have no collision physics, and approaching them will cause them to react in surprise and vanish while a sound effect plays.

This room can be accessed when the game's "fun" value is set to 66. In this scenario, **Room 268** (room\_water\_fakehallway), a hallway with a gray door, appears between Room 94 (room\_water\_savepoint1) and Room 95 (room\_water11), the rooms with the crystallized cheese and Sans's telescope, respectively. The door in this hallway leads to Room 269.

Once the protagonist leaves Room 269 back into Room 268, the door disappears from the corridor, though it is possible to exit the room and trigger the door's reappearance, as the fun values do not reset until the protagonist leaves the hall. The corridor itself becomes inaccessible once the protagonist leaves it and all values drop to 0.

Upon attempting to call someone using the Cell Phone in either of these rooms, only the message "There is no response..." appears.

#### Room 123

**Room 123** (room\_water\_prebird) is a removed corridor with tall grass that is presumed to connect Room 99 (room\_water\_bird), where the bird that carries the protagonist over a disproportionately small gap is located, and Room 116 (room\_water\_friendlyhub), where the six-way fork in Waterfall is. The characters in this area mention that this corridor is a bug catching spot.

An unknown character on the left side of the tall grass mentions that "there is somebody with a creepy smile behind you." The unseen character presumably disappears after the dialogue is triggered. The character with the "creepy smile" is possibly the Mystery Man seen in Room 269 which may be Gaster. However, it can also be Flowey (who follows the protagonist throughout the game), Sans, or even the fallen human.
