**Monster Souls** is currently the weakest soul in Glitchtale/Undertale. Monsters are naturally born with this soul.

## Appearance

Monster Souls appear as white upside-down hearts that glow just like other souls do.

## What Monster Souls Are Made Of

Monster souls are made out of love, hope, and compassion. Users of this soul have bodies mostly made out of magic, thus making them vulnerable to attacks from humans. Since their bodies are mostly made out of magic, they can have different weight, height, etc, from their age.

If a monster's soul possesses too much Determination, they can turn into amalgamates. Very few monsters are able to possess said Determination.

## Powers and Abilities

**Magic**: The main ability of all monsters, a magical weapon can emerge, attack, or defend. Each monster's magic is different.

### General

* **Healing Magic**: Each monster has the ability to heal themselves, or to heal others to fill their max HP.
* **Blue / Orange Attack**: All monsters can use this ability. The user can send a blue or orange attack if they fight with an enemy. The blue attacks do not harm the enemy if they don't move, but blue attacks do damage to the enemy if they move. Orange attacks do damage if the enemy does not move, but does not damage the enemy if they move.
* **Chromas**: Gaster has this special type of magic known to monsters as "Chromas". This type of magic allows the user to use a bit of magic with each trait known. Other monsters have had Chromas, such as Roman, Zanshi Youmei, and Jun Youmei. For skeletons, Chromas seems to manifest as floating hands; for bird monsters, it manifests as different colored feathers they can throw.

### Skeletal Physique

* **Skeletal Physiology**: As in the name, they are meant to resemble humanoid skeletons. With Sans and Gaster, some have white pupils in their eye sockets, though some do not like with Papyrus. The pupils are able to glow a certain color: Sans' can turn cyan (and also flash yellow; both sockets can be cyan with Determination) and Papyrus' can turn red. For Gaster, due to being connected to the former and latter, his is both cyan and red for both sockets, though if either Sans or Papyrus die, one pupil will go out. When using Polychromatism, both pupils will be purple.
* **Gaster Blaster**: Monsters with skeletal physiques can summon a large monstrous skull that fires a magical beam of energy.
* **Bone Manipulation**: Skeletal monsters can summon and manipulate magical bones; controlling the size and length of them, and summoning them either in mid-air or out of a physical surface.
* **Blue Magic**: Skeletal monsters can manipulate and control souls and physical structures telekinetically. This is shown with a blue aura over what or who the user is controlling.
* **Teleportation:** Certain skeletal monsters, mainly notably with Sans and formerly Gaster, can warp to different areas.

### Goat Physique

* **Goat Physiology**: Physically, they typically have an appearance resembling an anthropomorphic goat with white fur. The horn size varies, but more adult-like ones (mostly males) have bigger horns, such as with Asgore and Asriel Dreemurr in his "hyper-death" form. While also being an adult-like, Toriel has smaller horns.
* **Pyrokinesis**: Monsters with goat-like physiques can manipulate and summon magical fire, being able to utilize it in multiple ways, such as being able to make explosive blasts, multiple fireballs, and a large aura of fire.

### Fish Physique

* **Fish Physiology**: Physically, they have an appearance resembling an anthropomorphic fish with blue scales, yellow scleras, sharp teeth, and red hair.
* **Magical Weapon Constructs**: Monsters with fish-like physiques can summon weapons of magical energy that are usually colored blue (though, they don’t work the same as the aforementioned blue attacks). The weapons are shown to relate with the sea/an aquatic-look, such as spears and anchors.

### Elemental

* **Elemental Mimicry**: Physically, they have humanoid appearances made out of a certain element, in which, for example, in Grillby’s case, is made out of fire.
* **Elemental Attacks**: They can also use abilities that relate to those elements, such as Grillby using fire magic.

### Spider Physique

* **Spider Physique**: Physically, they resemble an anthropomorphic spider. In Muffet’s case, she has light purple 'skin', five purple eyes (two on the right, two on the left, and one on top pointed sideways), and eight limbs.
* **Energy Strings**: Monsters with spider-like physiques, specificity with Muffet, can summon energy strings that represent spider webs that grab and constrict others. This can possibly vary.

### Ghost Physique

* **Physical Form Possession**: Due to being a monster with the physique of a ghost, they do not have physical forms. Shown with Mettaton, they are able to possess certain physical bodies designed for them through technology.

### Reptilian Physique

* **Reptilian Physiology**: Physically resembles an anthropomorphic reptilian: For example, with Alphys, her appearance features yellow scales, claws, and protruding teeth. Her feet display three toes, while each hand has three fingers and a thumb. Additionally, her head is pointed towards the back.

## Notable Weapons

* Gaster Blaster
* Chromas (via Chromatic Hands)
* Asgore Dreemurr's Trident
* Vessel’s Anchor
* Undyne’s Spear

## Trivia

* It is not possible for a monster to lose their magic because if a monster goes over their limit they will get hurt and their magic will get extremely weak for a few minutes until it goes back to normal.
* It seems Gaster is capable of draining magic from his sons in order to regain his full abilities, as seen in Animosity when he snaps. This is done by reversing and amplifying the link between them which causes them to grow up and him to grow old.
* Each monster contains a small amount of Determination.[*citation needed*]
* Monster souls can't be greyed out, but they can weaken due to the circumstance.
* After a monster is killed, their soul breaks into pieces shortly after and disappear forever, unlike a Human Soul.
	+ Boss Monster souls have the ability to refrain from disappearing immediately for merely a few seconds, unlike normal monsters where their soul disappears immediately when they are killed.
	+ Asgore, Toriel, Gaster, Sans, Papyrus, Asriel are all Boss Monsters.
* There's a chance that Alphys had magical abilities and she refused to use them.
* Monster Soul is not a trait.
* There is a kind of power among monsters that can use different kinds of powers at the same time.
* Asriel’s soul is the closest a monster can get to a determination soul.
* Monsters with Chroma magic are usually trained to be warriors.
* Undyne's soul seems to be the only one with the ability to handle high amounts of Determination without turning into an Amalgamate. However, Sans can handle Determination to an extent as well.
