Asgore's Theme

Background

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.

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.

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Incoporeal Aspects (Monsters physiologies show they are mostly made of magic, noting that humans have a "physical form", along with having their SOUL directly attuned to their body), Magic (All monsters are made of magic, being able to do things like make "bullet-patter cards" with their magic), Personal Domain & BFR (When one encounters a monster they get into a fight, a FIGHT is an encounter in a monster's personal domain allowing them to fight humans, this has various rules such as turn-based combat), Creation (Monsters can make weapons, clothes and even food from magic), Limited Spatial Manipulation (Monsters can at times influence the battle box), Transmutation & Healing (Monsters can turn their attacks into healing projectiles), Absorption (Monsters and humans can absorb the SOUL as long as the person isn’t the same species as them), Curtain Fire (Shown here), Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation & Essence Manipulation; All attacks in Undertale are to the SOUL).

Resistance to Physical Attacks (All monsters bodies are attuned to their SOUL thus only attacks that can affect their SOUL can affect them), Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation & Essence Manipulation; Can take hits to the SOUL)

Weapon Mastery (Uses a trident and is skilled with it), Skilled in H2H Combat (Trained Undyne in hand-to-hand combat), Immortality (Ageless; Asgore will stay the same age forever as his child Asriel is dead and thus he has no one to transfer his SOUL power too), Acausality (Unfixed Causality; Asgore remembers killing Frisk after his resets), Fire Manipulation (Uses fire as a basis for many of his magic attacks), Power Nullification (Breaks the mercy option making Frisk incapable of doing mercy or fleeing the battle).

Resistance to Memory Manipulation (Asgore nods to Frisk when they note he's killed them before)

Equipment

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.

Weaknesses: Asgore is naturally depressed and will hold back against an opponent if he feels he's wronged them (this usually refers to human children). All monsters are weak to an attack with killing intent behind it and if a monster doesn't want to fight, they are weakened greatly. Though this seems to either not affect Asgore as much or he's so powerful that even his weakened self can fight for a long time.

Explanations

Why attacking the SOUL is essence manipulation.
