Fighting Asgore is the only way to progress to the ending. He then draws his trident and destroys the MERCY button. Asgore does not mind the delay, admitting that he is not ready either.īefore fighting, Asgore tells the protagonist that it was nice knowing them. He comforts them as he brings them to the barrier, giving them several opportunities to turn back if they have anything left to do before the fight. I so badly want to say, 'would you like a cup of tea?'Īsgore greets the protagonist when they arrive in the Throne Room, where he was watering flowers, visibly taken aback by their arrival. Toriel, disgusted with him, left New Home and returned to the Ruins.īefore the protagonist fell into the Underground, six more humans fell, and Asgore saved their SOULs for future use.Īsgore revealing the six human SOULs before his battle. He swore to kill any human that fell into the Underground and planned to use their SOULs to break the barrier and destroy all humans. The tragedy of his children's deaths led Asgore to declare war on humanity in a fit of anger. Toriel and Asgore later had a son, Asriel, and adopted the first human to fall into the Ruins. King Asgore and Queen Toriel ruled the Underground for millennia after humans sealed the monsters Underground upon their defeat during the war. Gerson suggests this may be because Asgore is not the most intellectual monster, with the smarter member of the royal family as well as the one which was actually running the city being Toriel. Monsters also note that he is bad at naming places, with the names being quite literal (such as naming the monster's first home in the Underground ' Home', and naming their new home ' New Home'). He reiterates the same phrase in his journal every day, perhaps in denial that life has changed since Asriel's demise. Īsgore lives in the past and wants nothing more than to see his wife and child again, even though they have been gone for a long time. However, Asgore does not want to kill anybody and feels so guilty that he offers the protagonist his SOUL to 'leave this cursed place.' Though he is miserable because he has killed humans, he feels that it is his duty to his people to battle the protagonist. Monsters in the Underground look to Asgore for hope, and his plan to collect seven human SOULs is one of the few things that keep them going. Īs evidence of his role as a powerful leader, most characters in the game refer to him in ALL CAPS and sometimes in red text, yellow text, or a combination of both. Before his battle, he offers the protagonist many opportunities to explore the Underground and is reluctant to fight them at all he even suggests that Toriel, the protagonist and himself live as a family if the protagonist spares him. Like his son, he speaks in southern slang (most notably 'howdy' and 'golly'). His arms are also shown to have stripes of yellow fur on top of them seemingly replicating the look of body hair.Īsgore is a kind and often quiet yet upbeat monster that enjoys gardening, Golden Flower Tea, and Toriel's Butterscotch Pie. However, after the True Pacifist Route he wears what looks to be a far more comfortable Hawaiian T-shirt which is pink in color and has white flowers alongside a simple pair of blue jeans. This trick of appearance where Asgore seems more fit than he actually is likely fits into a common trope of fat characters sucking in their guts as an effort to look more intimidating, Asgore doing something similar by encasing himself in tight likely uncomfortable armor. Towards the end of the game, Asgore appears to be more fat with a large gut rather than the broad-chested Herculean build he portrays: albeit he keeps his wide bulky appearance, his tall stature and especially his overall muscular limbs. Asgore is shown to be the largest main character in the entire game. The weapon he uses in battle is a long, red trident adorned with a flower. He wears a suit of armor, a purple cape with golden pauldrons, and a small crown on top of his head.

He has broad shoulders, a golden-blond mane, two large curved horns, and a beard. Asgore is a Boss Monster with an intimidating stature.
