Yes I&#039;m single wrote: wait so most monsters think you're monster and just want to "play" with  you? i'm pretty sure that's not right! if tsundereplane thinks you're human... then why shouldn't other monsters? he doesn't seem that intelligent. I'll already gave you several examples of monsters that clearly do not realize that you are human. As for the why:

One of the books in the Snowdin Library mentions that monsters express themselves through magic. The text of the book is:

"While monsters are mostly made of magic, human beings are mostly made of water.

Humans, with their physical forms, are far stronger than us.

But they will never know the joy of expressing themselves through magic.

They'll never get a bullet-pattern birthday card..."

So monsters shoot magic bullets at one another as a form of expression. Which means that if a monster met a human but did not realize it was human, it would shoot bullets as a way of expressing itself, without knowing that it was actually doing harm. And since the proclamation from Asgore is that any human must die so that their souls can be gathered, and you can talk to plenty of monsters without them ever attacking you or reacting to the fact that you're a human, the logical conclusion from all of this information is that the vast majority of monsters think that you too are a monster.

It also makes sense since humans are such a rare sight in the Underground, and the war between monsters and humans took place so long ago. Most monsters in the Underground would not have had an opportunity to see a human for who knows how long. Why would monsters just immediately know what a human looks like?
