You gain EXP for killing Mettaton, and he is believed to be related to Glad/Mad Dummy. Mettaton has a monster soul and is related to Glad Dummy, so he's a real monster, and all the other ghost fam are. Mettaton was originally a monster who had "Fallen Down" and Alphys managed to keep him from dying via magic and tech. it's the kind of thing that made her royal scientist.

That's not to say that you raise a few issues with that statement, for instance, does a soul count as a spirit? And if so could anybody be a ghost and just fuse with a body?

I also believe that the Mad/Glad Dummy never technically killed anyone cause nobody did anything to make them mad enough to even fight, hense why you get no exp.

I had a theory in 2018 that some monsters have a bit of an intelegence and some are just more of a vermin then a citizen, but in the genocide route its a mass killing of all types of monster rather than all high intelegance monsters.
