And if they are, is the protagonist a zombie that was reaminated Flowey style?

The Chomp-Plant in Snowdin talks about monster food:


 * Hmmm... isn't human food different from monster food?


 * It does things like "spoil".


 * When you eat it, it passes all the way through your whole body.


 * Disgusting. I'd love to try it sometime.


 * To a human, monster food would be very interesting.


 * As soon as you eat it, it converts perfectly into energy.


 * ... That makes me wonder. How do humans do it? Eat during battle...

Yeah, it always weirded me out that some NPCs have no clue what a human looks like. Sheesh, even in Geno sans says we aren't human and that we're pretending. So, given that we can't know if human corpses qualify as food, I'm going to look at another critical point in the Underground:

I've never seriously considered the literal resurrection of "" until realizing a few things. Foremost, nothing changes in the Underground. This is according to Burgerpants, so maybe it's biased, but jeez it finds so much support in this game. The actions of the protagonist dictate the future of the entire Underground.

Like, look at the credits at the end of the game. Apparently, we changed the direction of all of these monsters lives by doing marginal tasks with them. This may indicate an inability to be called to action on their own - look at Toriel, still in Ruins after six more fallen humans. We start the relationship of Alphys and Undyne and stop Alphys from committing suicide.

Many monsters are haunted by apathy or a fear to change. Moreso, there's no proof that monsters die all that often - I believe the only monster death that is even canon is Asriel. I know they have protocols for funerals, but seriously... the only evidence we have of "falling down" is seen...

... In this beautiful place. Even then, the monsters hadn't "Fallen Down" (the monsters put caps on this one when it's defined), they'd "fallen down". And they didn't actually die, so...

What I'm saying is; could the protagonist be a freakin' zombie? Thank you for your time! c:
