You may not recognize me, I apologize, I'm Opticaltank, but please call me Jillian. I'm new to the wiki and I've been looking to share my Deltarune theories for quite a while now. Feel free to read if you're interested!~

I think Gaster may or not be a Darkner. In WingDings, he says 'dark, darker yet darker', possibly meaning his soul or the Chaos Kingdom from Deltarune. Seam from his shop also says 'darker yet darker' when talking about Jevil, and it would make sense the only way he knows those words is by somehow meeting Gaster. Eerily, however, Rouxls Kaard looks quite like Gaster, but I wouldn't count on it that he is, in fact, Gaster.

Many characters in Undertale refer to Gaster as 'a man' or 'the man' (including the Riverperson), and when you go between certain areas repeatedly in Deltarune, you'll find a secret area with a single tree in it. (You can find this spot here.) If you interact with a tree, it'll say 'He is behind the tree' (or something similar to those words), and if you interact with the empty space behind the tree, it'll say 'Well, there is a man here'. If you further interact with this 'man', it'll continue to say 'He offered you something'. The option is 'yes' or 'no', which is quite strange since there was nothing to be asked resulting in an answer to be those option. If you do click yes, he'll give you an Egg, and it goes into your key items. When you try to interact with this mysteriously ominous 'man' again, it'll say 'Well, there is no man here', just like, in Undertale, when you have the certain fun value and see a greyish-monochrome door (and go in), you'll see a man who appears to be Gaster, and if you interact with him, he disappears. In conclusion, both Gaster and this 'man' in Deltarune disappear once you interact with them.

Back in Undertale, the Riverman (or Riverwoman) says in rare occassions 'beware of the man from another world'. Again, the Riverman mentions (who I'm guessing is Gaster) 'the man', instead of something else. If they said 'someone', it'd be a lot less obvious who Toby Fox was talking about, but the fact that he added in the fact that it says 'the man', like any other reference to Gaster, the Riverman is talking about Gaster himself, and happens to know about him. This other world, may or not be the world we enter in Deltarune, the alternative universe which we play as Kris (as far as I know, the Riverman only says this in the Nintendo Switch version of Undertale).

This isn't the only hidden secret that's in the Switch version of Undertale (this is unrelated but I thought I'd share anyway); when you talk to Clamgirl, instead of telling Frisk (the player) about Suzy and how she came from the city, she warns you about Suzy, who appears in Deltarune. (You can see this secret in action here.)

Also, I feel as if the description of how Gaster 'disappeared through time and space' is a bit vague. What if this experiment with the CORE is Gaster trying to go to this other world we see in Deltarune? What if Gaster managed to get there before Kris was even alive (or possibly Alphys too for that matter) and managed to make this portal to a seperate realm through Deltarune's overworld? And, tell me, what would be the most secretive place to put a portal to another realm you ask? A supply closet.

Thanks for reading, and feel free to ask me some questions about this. Have a nice day!
