Jerry

Jerry is a monster the protagonist encounters in Snowdin Forest. Jerry is unique in that it has no attack of his own, but instead causes other monsters' attacks to last 2 seconds longer than normal.

Contrary to popular belief, killing Jerry accrues EXP and is considered a kill by the game, which will cause a True Pacifist Route attempt to fail.

Appearance
Jerry appears to be an organic UFO shaped monster. It has three dull, thick spikes on the top of its head, some black spots, very long narrow arms, four legs, two rectangular eyes on the widest portion of their body, and swollen lips.

Personality
Jerry's traits are similar to the stereotype "That Guy." Examples include profuse arrogance, disrespect, informal language, poor hygiene (licking its hands and sneezing without wiping), and ungratefulness.

Appears With

 * Snowdrake
 * Ice Cap
 * Chilldrake

Strategy

 * Ditching Jerry will cause them to disappear, but they will return after two or three turns. Sparing all other monsters while Jerry is ditched will end the fight.
 * Jerry can immediately be spared if the protagonist's LV is 8.
 * When Jerry appears with Snowdrake and the protagonist makes a joke, Jerry can be spared.
 * Jerry is surprisingly hard to kill, and will take around nine hits to kill with weapons obtainable before or in Snowdin. However, one can spare Jerry on a Genocide Route without aborting the route.
