Muffet

Muffet is a midboss encountered hosting a bake sale in the Hotland. Muffet is featured as running a bake sale, and being very angry at passersby who don't purchase anything from it. She was a bought-in character during the Kickstarter for the game.

Appearance
Muffet is a spider-monster with purple skin, five eyes, and six arms. She wears a red dress with pantaloons at the bottom, buttons in the front, a red ribbon across her chest, as well as two more ribbons in her hair.

Main Story
Muffet appears to be the leader of the spiders in Underground, as well as running her own bake-sale (with each item priced at 9999 gold) in the Hotland. The spider fundraisers are so that Muffet can rescue the spiders trapped in the Ruins, as they cannot make it past Snowdin's cold weather to the Hotland. After running into her web, the player fights an irate Muffet in battle, and if Muffet is spared (either by surviving or by eating a spider item in the fight), a spider reports to her that the player is not a spider-killer, and she lets them go.

Pacifist Route
In order to spare Muffet, you can either use a spider item purchased earlier in the game in the fight with her, or you can survive for 17 turns. After either condition has been met, a spider will inform her that you did not kill any spiders in the Ruins, and (if you purchased a spider pastry in the ruins) that in fact you did support their cause. She will apologize and jokingly offer to wrap you up in her web for free next time you come around. If you bought an item from her fundraiser for 9999g, she will not battle you.

Genocide Route
During battle, Muffet tells the player that Alphys tried to get her to evacuate Hotland because of the danger posed by the player, but she refused. She will eventually let the player go as they have not killed any spiders (spiders are not encountered as an enemy, with the exception of Muffet herself). If the player decides to kill her, after she has disappeared, a spider will crawl onto the screen and place a flower where Muffet died.

Attacks

 * In battle, Muffet will change the battle to Purple Mode, which restricts the player's SOUL to three horizontal lines, or 'strings,' that one can move along or switch between.
 * She most commonly will attack by sending spiders along the strings.
 * She will throw croissants across the strings, which return back after being thrown.
 * She will throw donuts that bounce off the edge of the screen.
 * Her most dangerous attack involves letting her "pet" Muffin-Spider pull the strings down, while using the previously-stated spider attack.

Strategy
If you have trouble avoiding her attacks, bribe her. This decreases the damage each time you are hit to one point. Use it sparingly, because the price goes up each time. Using Struggle 3 times will cut the current cost to bribe her in half. She will only do this once.

True Pacifist Ending Credits

 * White Text - "?"
 * Yellow Text - " Spider Success With a New Bakery "

In the epilogue, the player can return to her lair to speak with her, where she will inform the player that the bake sale was a success, and that she raised enough money to have a heated limo transport all the spiders from the ruins. And depending on how much money you spent at the bake sales, can afford various other things for the spiders with the remaining money.

Before Battle

 * Ahuhuhuhu... 
 * Did you hear what they just said?
 * They said a human wearing a striped shirt will come through.
 * I heard that they hate spiders.
 * I heard that they love to stomp on them.
 * I heard that they like to tear their legs off.
 * I heard...
 * That they're awfully stingy with their money.
 * Ahuhuhuhu...
 * You think your taste is too refined for our pastries, don't you, deary?
 * Ahuhuhu...
 * I disagree with that notion.
 * I think your taste...
 * Is exactly what this next batch needs!

Battle

 * Don't look so blue, my deary~
 * ...I think purple is a better look on you! Ahuhuhu~
 * Why so pale? You should be proud~
 * Proud that you're going to make a delicious cake~ Ahuhuhu~
 * Let you go? Don't be silly~
 *  Your SOUL is going to make every spider very happy 
 * Oh, how rude of me! I almost forgot to introduce you to my pet~
 * It's breakfast time, isn't it? Have fun, you two~
 * The person who warned us about you...
 * Offered us a LOT of money for your SOUL.
 * They had such a sweet smile~ and... Ahuhuhu~
 * It's strange, but I swore I saw them in the shadows... Changing shape...?
 * Oh, it's lunch time, isn't it? And I forgot to feed my pet~
 * With that money, the spider clans can finally be reunited~
 * You haven't heard? Spiders have been trapped in the RUINS for generations!
 * Even if they go under the door, Snowdin's fatal cold is impassable alone.
 * But with the money from your SOUL, we'll be able to rent them a heated limo~
 * And with all of the leftovers...? We could have a nice vacation~
 * Or even build a spider baseball field~
 * But enough of that... It's time for dinner, isn't it? Ahuhuhu~
 * You're still alive? Ahuhuhu~
 * Oh, my pet~ Looks like it's time for dessert~
 * Huh? A telegram from the spiders in the RUINS?


 * [Pacifist] What? They're saying that they saw you, and...


 * [Pacifist] Even if you are stingy, you never hurt a single spider!
 * [if you bought something from the bake sale in the ruins] You helped donate to their cause!
 * [or, if you bought two things] ...You were really passionate about spiders!
 * [or, if you bought many things] You're a total spider fanatic!
 * "Oh my, this has all been a big misunderstanding~"
 * "I thought you were someone that hated spiders~"
 * "The person who asked for that SOUL..."
 * "They must have meant a DIFFERENT human in a striped shirt~"
 * "Sorry for all the trouble~ Ahuhuhu~"
 * "I'll make it up to you~"
 * "You can come back here any time... And, for no charge at all..."
 * "I'll wrap you up and let you play with my pet again!"
 * "Ahuhuhuhuhuhu~ Just kidding~"
 * "I'll SPARE you now~"

After Battle

 * Ahuhuhuhu...
 * That was fun!
 * See you again, dearie!

Trivia

 * Muffet was designed by Michelle Czajkowski, the creator of the webcomic Ava's Demon.
 * Her name comes from the children's nursery rhyme "Little Miss Muffet", in which a young girl eating cottage cheese is scared away by a spider, while her flavor text is a reference to the poem "The Spider and the Fly".
 * During the True Pacifist Route, after defeating the final boss, you may go back and speak to Muffet. Her dialogue contains a typo, where she says "And we'll alo be able to afford...!" instead of "And we'll also be able to afford...!"
