Dummy

The Dummy is a special enemy of Undertale, found in the Ruins.

Main Story
Toriel makes you talk to one as a tutorial on fighting enemies. After talking to the dummy, you automatically win the battle and Toriel allows you to progress.

If you destroy it instead with the FIGHT command, she will gently admonish you. If you spare, check, or FIGHT and miss completely several times, the dummy gets bored of your aimless shenanigans and floats away. After this, Toriel will simply stare in disbelief.

If you flee from the dummy, Toriel will acknowledge that fleeing can be a useful strategy, but point out that it was clearly unnecessary in this case, as the dummy cannot attack, nor seek revenge.

Trivia

 * The dummy is actually possessed by a spirit. How its cousin will react depends on how you ended your battle with it.
 * If you talk to Toriel before fighting the dummy twice, she'll tell you that you can say anything to the dummy, and it will not be bothered. This is contrary to what the Mad Dummy says later if you choose to talk to it.
 * Attacking the dummy gives 0 EXP, and therefore does not discredit a Pacifist run.
