Background

The Anomaly (also known as "The Player") is the being that controls Frisk during most of the time in Undertale. Whether the player decides to do Genocide, Neutral, or Pacifist, Frisk herself/himself cannot refuse it. Only during some instances does Frisk ever refuse it. They are shown to be canonical by the end of the Genocide route when Chara is talking directly to them when they re-open the game and when Sans mentions them in battle.

Powers and Abilities

Data Manipulation, Absorption (Monsters and humans can absorb the SOUL as long as the person isn’t the same species as them), Information Manipulation, Essence Manipulation, Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation; Can mess with the code of Undertale. All attacks affect the SOUL), Reality Seperation (Type 4; Exists outside of Undertale), Incorporeality, Possession (Possess Frisk), Higher-Dimensional Existence, Avatar Creation (Created Frisk and Chara to interact with the world of Undertale).

Resistance to Metaphysics Manipulation (Soul Manipulation & Essence Manipulation; Can take attacks to their SOUL), Reality Warping, Memory Manipulation, Resistance Negation, Time Manipulation, Information Manipulation, Data Manipulation, & Conceptual Manipulation, & Possible Acausality Negation (Unaffected by a true reset)

Sheer Will (All holders with determination logically have large amounts of willpower), Time Travel & Timeline Hopping (Travels back to a specific point in time while hopping through timelines, users with a greater amount of determination can use this to save and load through all existing timelines), Limited Reality Seperation (Reality Separation; Exist outside of reality as shown in the scene where Photoshop Flowey creates a SAVE File that Frisk is outside of within his SAVE File is Frisk’s original SAVE File which Photoshop Flowey comes out of), Subjective Reality & Creation (Frisk can create “last dream” to heal themself), Information Manipulation (Total; Photoshop Flowey re-wrote the history of the war between monsters and humans), Erasure (Space-Time Erasure; Erased all inhabitants of the current timeline and a save file), Reality Warping (Determination is described as the power to re-shape the world, and Photoshop Flowey re-shaped the world in his own image), Possible Fate Manipulation (Determination gives the user the ability to change fate itself, and events to allow them to live even outside of merely time traveling. Examples include Papyrus' special attack suddenly taken over by the dog, and Papyrus states that if special attack was used Frisk would've of died, Undyne's failure to capture Frisk on multiple occassions due to Monster Kid bothering her or she uses random tactics such as letting a bridge's fall kill Frisk and not check to see if they died herself, and Napstablook showing up out of nowhere to save Frisk during Mad Dummy), Statistics Amplification (Frisk used determination to continuously amp themselves to tank hits from Asriel's attacks and keep up with him in speed), Regeneration Negation (Up to "Low-Godly to Mid-Godly"; Genocide run Frisk was capable of permanently killing Undyne the Undying), Acausality (Unfixed Causality; One with very strong determination can remember resets), Power Nullification (Passive. Anyone with higher determination then another can overrride their powers. The difference in DT allows them to nullify more abilities, though the standard is negating all time based abilities).

Resistance to Memory Manipulation, Reality Warping, & Time Manipulation (Unaffected by standard resets)

Reality Warping (Warps all of reality back to an original state), Memory Manipulation & Resistance Negation (Erases the memories of every character, even those who originally resisted it), Time Manipulation (Resets the world), Information Manipulation (Total), Data Manipulation, & Conceptual Manipulation (A true reset thoroughly erases all information in one’s file, resetting it back to 0. Chara with the true reset set a permanent flag that cannot be removed without non-canon hacking), Possible Acausality Negation (Causality Immunity; Annoying Dog was seemingly affected by the true reset itself too as he repeated the process of re-absorbing the legendary artifact)
