Asgore Dreemurr is the ruler of the Underground and its denizens, monsters. He is the ex-husband of Toriel, father of Asriel Dreemurr, adoptive father of the first human, and the penultimate boss of the Neutral Route. While not evil or malicious, he serves as one of the main antagonists, planning to kill seven humans and use their SOULs to break the barrier which traps the monsters in the Underground.

This war has gone on long enough. You have the power... Take my soul, and leave this cursed place.
Asgore is a kind monster that enjoys gardening, Golden Flower Tea, and Toriel's Butterscotch Pie. Like his son, he speaks in southern slang (most notably "howdy" and "golly"). 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.
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. 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.
Asgore 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. He reiterates the same phrase in his journal every day, perhaps in denial that life has changed since Asriel's demise.
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"). 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.
Status:Alive in True Pacifist Route, Deceased in Neutral Route and Genocide Route (Killed by The Human in both routes)
Alignment:Neutral Good (Despite being responsible for the deaths for six humans, the reasoning was to get his people out of the underground and out of anger for the death of both of his children, after this he has shown to be a very nice man that cares greatly for not only his people, but even humans, going as far as to concede in battle and let the human take his SOUL to pass through the barrier)
Range:Extended Melee with Trident, Tens of Meters with magic attacks
Intelligence:Genius Intelligence (Serves as the leader of the Underground, with his decisions overriding that of even the most intelligent monsters. Constructed a plan to free the Underground by destroying the Barrier. Has lived before written history, giving him over 10,000 years of experience and knowledge. While naive in some things, he is incredibly skilled in battle)
Trident, 6 Human SOULS (Thought he won't absorb them unless necessary)
Notable Techniques
Fire Magic: Asgore appears to have a mastery over fire, using it for numerous techniques. These include calling down undulating waves of fire, creating enormous, inescapable walls of fire, circles of fireballs which close in on his opponent, creating large trails of fireballs which track his opponent, and creating enormous bursts of dozens upon dozens of fireballs which are immensely difficult to dodge.
Trident: Asgore has shown to be extremely proficient with his trident, swiping it across the battlefield in an attempt to hit his opponent. The trident will leave behind trails of magic, making it impossible to dodge by conventional means. When the magic is orange, Asgore's opponent must be moving in order to not be hurt. When the magic is blue, his opponent must remain stationary.
Other
Standard Tactics: Asgore will begin by destroying the ability to pacify during the fight, using various magic attacks afterwards.
↑Undertale Librarby: While monsters are mostly made of magic, human beings are mostly made of water. Humans, with their physical forms, are far stronger than us. But they will never know the joy of expressing themselves through magic. They’ll never get a bullet-pattern birthday card...
↑Because they are made of magic, monsters’ bodies are attuned to their SOUL. If a monster doesn’t want to fight, its defenses will weaken. And the crueler the intentions of our enemies, the more their attacks will hurt us. Therefore, if a being with a powerful SOUL struck with the desire to kill... Um, let’s end the chapter here...
