**Asgore Dreemurr** is the second major character encountered in *TS!Underswap*. He acts as the caretaker of Ruined Home, as well as a guide for the protagonist upon discovering them.

## Profile

### Appearance

Asgore is a boss monster, possessing the appearance of an anthropomorphic nubian goat. This includes white fur, horns, as well as floppy ears. He has a head of golden hair, as well as a beard and ponytail. His outfit consists of a purple turtleneck sweater emblazoned with the Delta Rune, white sleeves, dark purple trousers, and a pair of glasses due to old age's impact on his eyesight. Near the end of Ruined Home, he dresses in a ceremonial outfit reminiscent of his clothes in *Undertale*, with a long purple robe and two golden shoulder pads.

### Personality

Asgore has a humble and kind personality. He enjoys making Golden Flower tea, baking pie (despite it not being his forte), taking bubble baths, comforting and helping those in need of help, planting flowers, watching Mettacrit's shows, giving advice, sponsoring town events, donating to charities, and holding tea parties. However, deep down, he struggles with feelings of guilt for failing to protect the previous fallen humans, as well as failing his family. Despite being in Ruined Home for so long, Asgore's life has not been completely full of regret.

Similar to his *Undertale* counterpart (and contrary to the Toriel in *Undertale* as well), Asgore misses his family and blames himself for the fate of the other fallen humans instead of his wife. He also expresses regret over not having been there for his son, Asriel, as he grew up.

## Main Story

Asgore and Toriel were ruling their own kingdom together, until an incident occurred that caused Asgore to declare war on the surface, establishing the Navy and preparing to destroy the barrier. However, Asgore couldn't go through with it, and was banished by Toriel to Ruined Home for losing his nerve when it was too late to de-escalate tensions.

At the beginning of Ruined Home, he unknowingly saves Chara from Temmie. He then leads them through the start of the area, instructing them on how to complete puzzles, battle enemies, using the Mad Dummy as a training opponent, and using items found throughout the Underground. After an unexpected encounter with a Froggit, Asgore will then walk with Chara down a long hallway, sharing small talk.

Shortly after reaching the end of the hall, Asgore receives a call from someone, regarding havoc being caused in the city. He apologizes for needing to leave Chara alone, and gives them a spare cellphone he has on hand. After that, he leaves to deal with the trouble in The City of Old. Asgore calls Chara repeatedly throughout their trek through Ruined Home, checking up on them and asking about what their preference of Butterscotch to Cinnamon.

In The City of Old, it becomes known that while Asgore is not a mayor or governing official, he is still viewed as an authority figure of high class, and a father figure for all.

In any matter, he is very hospitable, making Chara tea and letting them live with him for as long as they need. However, even though Chara wants to stay with Asgore, their words are mysteriously changed, forcing them to tell Asgore they want to leave.

Asgore then heads to his garden, beyond which lies the exit of Ruined Home. As Chara follows Asgore, he confesses that many years ago on this day, a tragedy in which he felt responsible occurred, causing him to lose everything. Although he has attempted to atone for those past mistakes, he has since let six other fallen humans past Ruined Home, and all six ended up being killed by monsters later on. Not wanting Chara to be the seventh, he prevents them from leaving Ruined Home until they defeat him in battle.

In the Ruthless Route, Asgore will be in the back of his garden from the moment Chara arrives. He believes Chara's actions have put them past the point of redemption, and will fight Chara so that they cannot pass.

Asgore also has never met his son, Asriel, since he was born after Toriel and Asgore split and went their separate ways.

Should he be defeated in the Compassion Route, Asgore looses his will to fight and begs Chara to stay, but the child is unable to say anything. Asgore ultimately allows Chara to leave Ruined Home, but states they are welcomed back any time, hugging them one last time before leaving.

Should he be defeated violently in the Neutral Route, he states Chara has passed his tested, and tell them not to worry, as he is going to take a nap before fading away and his SOUL breaks.

Should he be defeated in the Ruthless Route, as he dies he states he already alerted all the other monsters in both Ruined Home and outside of the human's rampage, and that they will be left alone once killing everything, trapped in their "special hell".

Should he be spared during the Evacuated Neutral Route, Asgore will be left shocked and confused as to why Chara would do this. He will stand still, interacting with him, offering nothing but silence. Asgore will yell at Chara to get out if interacted with several times afterwards.

## Trivia

* Asgore's design has undergone very few changes during development, the main difference being that he no longer regularly wears robes, like his classic Underswap counterpart.
	+ However, he eventually does sport a unique set of robes, reminiscent of both his outfit from *Undertale*, and unused concept art by Temmie Chang by the end of Ruined Home.
* The monsters of Ruined Home often visit him for advice and helpful tips.
* Asgore enjoyings baking, despite how bad he is at it. However, he still attempts it until he gets it right.
* Despite his long residence in Ruined Home, he doesn't feel alone due to the significantly large presence of the other monsters.
* Asgore is very friendly with the residents of Ruined Home. He frequently takes strolls and talks to monsters, invites them over to his house for tea, and knows almost everyone by name.
	+ This is in stark contrast to Toriel in *Undertale*, who is much more standoffish and intimidates the Ruins's residents.
* If you walk around Asgore in the second puzzle room, he will get dizzy when trying to keep up with Chara.
* There's a picture of Asgore in Grillby's Backyard Barbecue.
* Unlike Toriel in *Undertale*, Asgore cannot be spared by repeatedly sparing him. The player must first ACT to make him cease his attacks, and then spare him until the battle ends.
	+ This only applies in the Neutral and Compassion routes, however. In the Ruthless Route, Asgore cannot be spared unless fought to low HP, then hugged via the ACT menu. Doing so will cause Asgore to remain kneeling in the overworld, utterly dumbstruck and unable to respond to the player's action. The Ruthless Route will be subsequently aborted, and become the Aborted Ruthless/Evacuation Neutral route.
	+ Once he is convinced to stop fighting, Asgore can be killed in a single hit.
	+ Asgore can also be spared by fighting him to low HP, then talking to him.
* Unlike Toriel in *Undertale*, Asgore doesn't seem to hate Toriel, nor blame her for the deaths of six humans; Rather, he thinks that it's his fault for failing to protect his children and the six humans.
* The outside of Asgore's house is based off of early concept art of Toriel's house by Temmie Chang.
