Talk:Boss Monster/@comment-31543599-20170828080726

I've wondered...Does Sans count as a Boss Monster? The things that brought this up are:

 -All Boss Monster encounters activate  Serious Mode.

without the player needing to do anything, and it activates:

- During the  Genocide Route exclusive fights against  Sans and  Undyne the Undying.

So...Serious Mode activates during every Boss Monster fight, and it initiates automatically without regard to the player's will during Sans' fight.

I think it may just be Genocide kicking in, but I don't really know anymore. I want to think that Asgore, Toriel, and Asriel are the only Boss Monsters. It just makes things easier.

Maybe it has something to do with the species of monster, as the only Boss Monsters we know of are goat...things.

Or maybe it has something to do with the level of power of the monster. However, if that was the case, I don't think Sans could be a Boss Monster, as his stats are very, VERY low. As the game states, he is:

-The easiest enemy. Can only deal 1 damage.

Even though he uses KARMA, he is still the weakest monster stat-wise.

Shed some light, please, Undertale Theorists.
