Papyrus

*Were you looking for the Papyrus skin/s?*

*> NYEH HEH HEH!

>*- Papyrus's famous catchphrase in *UnderTale*

**Papyrus** is an unlockable character in current version of *BoneTale*. The character is unlocked upon winning any Level while in the Papyrus skin, with the Bonetrousle music and the Snowdin Forest map, without Gaster Blasters or Repulsion (knock back). He costs 3G to purchase.

For Frisk, it takes 6 hits to kill Papyrus, but for Chara (and all other phases) it only takes 1 hit.

\*Frisk moves near Papyrus\*

*HEY, QUIT MOVING!*

*THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT...*

*HUMAN! I THINK YOU ARE IN NEED OF GUIDANCE!*

## Attacks

**Bone:** The character launches a simple bone, which is destroyed when it collides with an enemy or a wall. The longer the button is held down, the larger [and faster] the bone will be.

**Blue Bone:** The character launches a blue bone that cannot be destroyed. It will only deal damage if the enemy is moving. If not, then no damage is dealt. Similar to the simple Bone, the longer the button is held, the larger [and faster] the bone.

**Blue SOUL:** The character turns the enemy SOUL blue and changes their gravity. When pressed again, the gravity is disabled.

For Papyrus, this will keep the enemy on the bottom of the map, protecting you from any damage if you're at the top parts of the map at Easy Levels 1-2. The enemy will start jumping at you to attack beginning from Easy Level 3.

**Pose:** Papyrus takes a super cool pose that raises your authority to the skies! This doesn't affect anything else though...

The pose is merely aesthetic and does nothing game-wise.

## Strengths/Weaknesses

### **Strengths**

**Papyrus has very high stamina**, to the point where he can use over 500 bones or keep Frisk in Blue Soul Mode for almost 15 minutes.

**Papyrus has higher HP than Sans does**, and will be able to survive more than 2 hits from Easy or Medium difficulty Frisk.

**Blue bones**, can be used to force Frisk and Chara to stop moving for a brief period of time. These bones are indestructible and can only be destroyed upon collision with a wall.

Papyrus can put Frisk/Chara into the **Blue SOUL mode**. In this mode, Chara will not destroy white bones but instead will attempt to jump over them. Papyrus's strategy revolves around using this mode along with bones. In Multiplayer, if the opponent is in Blue SOUL mode they can't dash/dodge as Frisk or Sans.

The bones move quite slow, making him a rather ineffective character in multiplayer.

**Papyrus's Pose does absolutely nothing** for you in-battle - it is, and can only be, used as a taunt in multiplayer.

## Attacks

**Bone:** when fully charged, it will summon bones in the shape of "COOL DUDE" - a total of 8 attacks. This will use slightly more energy (but since you're Papyrus, energy isn't as much of a problem). This attack replaces the previous large bone attack. Regular bones received no change.

**Blue bone**: when fully charged, you can place down a plate of spaghetti - when you touch it, you gain a small (and stackable) speed boost for a short period of time. If the opponent touches it, they take 3 damage and becomes slower for a period of time. Regular blue bones have a larger "stop" hitbox on Frisk - if they land on it, they might stop moving for a short period of time (confirmation needed).

**Blue soul:** no change has been made in the update.

**Pose:** When Papyrus holds down the pose button, he will start charging up for a speed boost - when released while fully charged, he will receive a temporary speed boost that can stack with the speed boost from the spaghetti.
