..Or, it's just the names themselves that are changed.

Monsters essentially have yellow names, that they USE to tell us that they are spareable.

We know that the monsters are using it, and that they can lie about it.. Because Sans' name turns yellow, but sparing him then doesn't end the battle.

So this isn't the monsters interacting with the HUD's rules directly, but rather replacing their names with yellow ones.

However, I did think of an alternative interpration of option 2. It could be that it actually works like option 1, but since the HUD is attuned to Chara rather than Frisk, it's Chara's mind that the HUD scans.

But Chara directly creating the options doesn't make sense if options can be created without a narrator, because that implies the six humans before Frisk made their own options.. And then selected from their own options. Why create options and then select.. When you can just do the latter?

It just doesn't make any sense.
