They could easily destroy all of mankind." - Monster History part 7 Though monsters are weak, with enough human souls. While it is extremely difficult for humans to absorb a monster's soul. This allows monsters to absorb the souls of humans. Meanwhile, a monster's soul disappears near-instantly upon death.
BOSS MONSTER UNDERTALE PLUS
At least 104 monsters must be killed as part of fulfilling the requirements of the Genocide Route, plus Sans (who does not count as a killed enemy when defeated, and technically does not need to be killed to complete the route). It is presumed that at least 321 monsters inhabit the Underground – given the number of monster souls visibly emanating from Asriel Dreemurr as the barrier is broken, plus incorporeal ghosts, who do not participate in the event.The Amalgamates are a clear example of this. When monsters are injected with it, their bodies liquefy and melt together. īecause of their magical nature, monsters' bodies cannot handle high concentrations of determination. Boss Monsters are an exception, as their SOULs exist outside their bodies for a few moments before shattering. Because monsters' bodies and SOULs are closely linked, when a monster dies, their SOUL is lost forever. This dust is often spread onto the owner's favorite thing in funerals, so their essence lives on in them. When a monster dies, its body turns into dust. When a monster gets old, they enter a state called "fallen down." A monster in this state lies immobile and turns to dust shortly. Monsters SOULs are usually wholly white, with a couple of exceptions.Ī monster's body is mostly made of magic and is attuned to its SOUL. Monsters come in numerous shapes and sizes, although the notable species of monsters include skeletons like Sans and Papyrus, ghosts like Napstablook and their relatives, and Boss Monsters like Toriel and Asgore. Monsters, however, can obtain an "unfathomable" amount of power when they absorb the SOUL of a human. The damage a monster receives from an attacker is dependent on both the monster's will to fight and the attacker's will to hurt. This inadequacy is because monsters are mostly made of magic, which in turn makes them attuned to their SOUL. Monsters are by far weaker than humans, both in physical combat and regarding the strength of their SOUL. It is even said that monster SOULs are made of love, hope, and compassion.

Despite the negative implication of the word "monsters," monsters in Undertale are not an evil species. After The War of Humans and Monsters, monsters moved to the Underground from the Surface. King Asgore Dreemurr rules all monsters in the Underground.
