Papyrus is shown as a naive, harmless, childish skeleton. But, small pieces of evidence show that Papyrus is knows more than he is letting on.

1.Papyrus knows about the space time continum.

This may seem farfetched, but hear me out. When you reload your SAVE enough times and are able to enter Sans's room. After Papyrus turns on the lights, he says "IS SANS PRANKING YOU ACROSS TIME AND SPACE? I HATE IT WHEN HE DOES THAT." Meaning that Sans had done it to Papyrus before, and maybe even a couple times.

2.Papyrus's special attack remains unknown.

You are probably yelling at your computer screen saying "Papyrus's special attack was the big bone!!!!!!" but it's not. On Papyrus's absoluty normal attack he uses the bone, meaning it can't be his special attack. Maybe his special attack could be something like, lets say, Gaster Blasters. Since we never see the attack, it is possible.

3.Papyrus knows about different timelines.

Last but not least, Papyrus knows about different timelines. During the epilouge, Papyrus says "THIS IS THE WORST POSSIBLE ENDING." But, he wouldn't know that if he didn't know about other timelines. Papyrus would know about another ending where he could be a Royal Guardsman and the Pacifist would seem bad to him because he wouldn't be a Royal Guardsman.

So there you have it. Evidence that Papyrus is not as innocent and naive as you think.

Credit to Game Theory for showing this evidence on a video.
