## History

### Pre-AFAC

Napstablook had a terrible childhood just like everyone else in their family. Their grandparents owned a snail farm and had a lot of children to work the farm. This also included homeschooling so worthless that useful things were learned after they left [19]. They were domineering and controlling, which made their grandchildren bitter, and the living situation was so bad that the Blook family began leaving the farm for New Home. Angry at this perceived betrayal, any Blook that left the farm was stricken from the will, and when they finally passed, Mettaton and Napstablook were the only people left. Napstablook was eventually pressured to take a body by Mad Mew Mew, then known as Balistiblook, and chose a dummy in the ruins to try to bond to. When Frisk interacted with them, they were scared enough they abandoned their body because of what Frisk was whispering. Napstablook confessed this to their cousin and so Napstablook decided to lie in wait for them in the Ruins, blocking their path to meet them again [12].

During Frisk's battle with Muffet, Napstablook was the one who ran the Ruins spiders' message to Muffet to get her to stop trying to kill Frisk [17].

After the Barrier went down, Napstablook sold the family ranch to Sam Byool, one of the farmhands to pursue their music career [16].

### Red Echoes

Napstablook spent the arc in the MTT Apartment complex wondering where Mettaton ran off to at such an hour, though they assumed everything was fine [14].

### Sweet Dreams and Nice Creams

Napstabook's first appearance is when they are noticed by Burgerpants in the middle of him talking to the Nicecream Guy. They are carrying groceries, which they take back to theirs and Mettaton's house. Mettaton is yelling at the TV and Napstablook talks about their band.

When Mettaton is posing to relieve stress, they almost reveal that Mettaton has a crush on Papyrus, which causes Mettaton to flip out. When Frisk calls Mettaton to ask to help bake a ghost cake for Chara, Napstablook is the one who picks up the phone.

### Extra-Dark Chocolate

Napstablook has a cameo in a flashback when Maverick is talking about Chara and later goes with Mettaton to Frisk's house to bake the cake and watch the footage of Frisk's journey through the Underground.
