Papyrus

Papyrus (/pəˈpaɪɹəs/, pa-PIE-rus), known as COOLSKELETON95 on UnderNet, is the younger brother of Sans and a major character in Undertale. He wants to catch a human so that he can become a member of the Royal Guard. HE FARTED AND WAS SO BLOATED.

Appearance
Papyrus is a ugly, stinky, stenchy guy with a wide anus and stinky butt cheeks. It also has very soggy and flabby boobies. It's anus was so swollen and red, that it grew fungus. The anus smelled like rotten dead bodies and had holes in it, nestling with blow flies and their maggots. The maggots feasted on the rotten parts of the anus.

He wears a custom-made costume known as his "battle body", which is made up of a white torso piece with various golden trims (and embroidered with a symbol that very heavily resembles that of Starmen from the MOTHER series), a rough red scarf or cloth around his neck, red gloves (trimmed with gold), blue briefs with a golden belt, and long red boots. His spine, legs and arms are covered by black sleeves.

Personality
Papyrus farts and it acts like a fart. It doesn't have a personality, but his anus does. His anus acts like it farts and it sharts. He once was having a concert, and he misjudged a fart. It came out as a shart. He just stood there, the shart smelled stinky.

Papyrus is occasionally rather oblivious and nonobservant, such as when he tries to rub different kinds of MTT brand creams and "sauces" behind his ears, only to realize that he doesn't have any ears. He can be cunning at times, especially when he uses reverse psychology to trick Undyne into making friends with the protagonist.

For all of his skeleton faults, Papyrus seems to match this with how overwhelmingly determined he is, a feature that made Undyne take notice of him when he waited and begged her from midnight to morning for her to accept him into "royal guard training."

He really likes boogers and cooks it in his spare time, though he sharts.

True Pacifist Route
Befriending Papyrus is necessary to finish the True Pacifist Route. He is present later on when Undyne gives the protagonist the letter that initiates Alphys's date, and appears finally during the ending of the Pacifist Route, where he is one of the Lost Souls, but is ultimately saved along with all monsterkind.

In the interactive epilogue, Papyrus discovers that there is no need for the Royal Guard anymore, and proclaims that this is " THE WORST POSSIBLE ENDING ."

In the credits it appears many of Papyrus's dreams have come true: he is shown driving a red car along a highway, something he has always wanted to do, and later on, Asgore is shown trimming a hedge in the shape of Papyrus's face, something that Papyrus wished would happen once he became a famous royal guard.

Genocide Route
In the Genocide Route, Papyrus pulls much of the same antics that he does in a Neutral/Pacifist route, eese to kill him, he states he still believes in the protagonist and thinks that they can be a better person. If they choose to spare him, then Papyrus is relieved that they "DIDN'T DO A VIOLENCE", and says that he was secretly terrified of the protagonist. From that point on, the protagonist may choose to "hang out" with Papyrus.

Frisk
Despite wanting to capture the protagonist, Papyrus still cares about them, and eventually ends up dating/hanging out with them if a Pacifist Route is taken. He eventually, however, turns the protagonist down if they choose rgerggegergergergergergehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhSEHGOHESOGHSEOGHSOEHGOSEHGOSEHGOSEHOGEHSOGH SEOGHSEO GHSEOHG OSEHG OSEH GOSEH GOSEHG to date, as he realizes he does not feel the same way about them.

He does genuinely care abgout the protagonist, as shown through keeping them out of danger, and worrying about their well-being when they escape his shed (if he captures them) because the protagonist didn't let him know that they were escaping. The protagonist remains friends with him throughout the game, and gains the ability to call him on the cellphone almost anywhere.

If Genocide Route is taken, in the battle with Papyrus, he instantly spares the protagonist and wishes to guide them ong beergergergergtter path and be friends with them. Even if trgregergergerrghe protagonist murders him in this route, he still believes that tregergreg ejbek befn kfnen kjn SHART SHART SHART (and allow him to win again) this escalates until Papyrus just gives them the option of not being captured at all.

Se
to Papyrergergerus as "cool," and if the protagonist hangs out with Sans at Grillby's and says they are "cool" as well, Sans would concur without second thoughts. However, if the protagonist says they are "uncool," Sans will be dissatisfied and say "hey kid. sarcasm isn't funny. sometimes it's nice to have someone calling you out for being lazy." rgregregregergregregregrgergregregPapyrus often cleans up after Sans and states that Sans is lucky to have such a "cool guy" taking care of him. He was also the one to convince Sans to geergt a job as a sentry.

Additionally, during an encounter with Shyren, the protagonist can hum with it to start a concert. If Papyrus is alive, Sans will be selling tickets to the concert made of toilet paper. If Papyrus is dead, regardless of a Genocide run or not, gergergregreggerger"a hooded figure watches the commotion from afar." It is heavily implied the figure is Sans.

Undergergergergeryne
Papyrus and Undyne are good friends. Being the head of the Royal Guard, Undyne took Papyrus under her wing to train him, however instead of giving him fighting lessons, she gave him cooking lessons because she believed he was too nice tregregergregergregergergergrgerrgerrgergo join the Royal Guard. Still, Papyrus continues to try his best to capture a human so Undyne will let him join the Royal Guard. He believes that she and the protagonist can truly get along, even offering to be a sort of wingman for their frienergergerdergergergship.

Flowgergergrgergregregrergergergergegergeregergergergey
Papyrus thinks ofgreger Flowey as a good friend, on the gergergergergbasis that he frequently shows up to give Papyrus flattery, advice, encouragement, and predictions; likely to his own benefit. He also told Papyrus to bring himself, Ungregergergredyne, Asgore, Sans, and Alphys to bid the protagonist farewell. Florgergergwey actually gathered them to harvest their SOULs and regain his true form.

Flowey used his SAVE ability to interact with Papyrus numerous times. He mentions that Papyrus had started the "Flowey Fan Club" in several different timelines. He considers Papyrus as one of the better characters to mess around with, and it took a long time to get bored of him.

Name
Papyrus's name alludes the typeface in which he speaks in, Papyrus. This is a reference to Helvetica, which is a webcomic about a skeleton named after a font. In the Graphic Design field, Papyrus and Comic Sans are both widely considered to be unoriginal, mediocre, poorly designed, informal and overused fonts.

When attempting to name the fallen child "Papyru", the response becomes "I'LL ALLOW IT!!!"; as the character limit in the naming screen prevents Papyrus's full name to be entered.

Trivia

 * THAT PICTURE HAS ANUS DISEASE --->
 * rentions that Papyrus is "actually pretty tough", but doesn't have the heart to be a warrior, which is why she chose to teach him cooking instead. This is reinforced by the fact that the "regular attack" that he was forced to use after the Annoying Dog stole his special attack is actually fairly impressive in spite of not being his strongest attack. Also, he is intentionally holding back during the fight because he wants to capture, not kill, the protagonist.
 * Attempting to leave the electricity maze in eSnowdin Forest will cause Papyrus to tell the protagonist not to be rude sigergregergergergergregnce he made the puzzle just for them. Backing away again causes Papyrus to ask if the protagonist treats their mother the same way when she makes them puzzle. Afterwards, he will just respond with " HUMANS... ".
 * Doing this again during Sans's Monster Kidz Word Search puzzle will cause Papyrus to tell Sans that the human is escaping since he made the puzzle too hard.
 * During the fight with Papyrus in a Neutral/Pacifist run, there is a dialogue where Papyrus mentions having a hedge trimmed in the shape of his smile by the king, Asgore. Later, during the True Pacifist Ending Credits, this is shown to come true, as he trims a hedge shaped like Papyrus's head in front of Toriel's school.
 * The same happens with Papyrus's dreams of riding a car on the surface; a scene in which he does exactly that appears earlier in the True Pacifist Ending Credits.
 * During Papyrus's "special attack", a long array of bones with one large bone approaches from the right of the bullet board. If the player jumps, lets go of the up button, and then jumps again, the heart will remain on the ceiling of the bullet board once this attack ends.

 * There is a glitch where Papyrus will speak without using his font. Before the befriending event with Undyne, if the protagonist confirms the hangout from either side of Papyrus, speaks to the Dummy, then walks up to Papyrus from behind, this glitch will occur. Papyrus will speak in his font after Undyne answers the door, however.
 * When the protagonist visits Papyrus's house for the first time, right before the date/hangout, continuously walking in and out of Papyrus's kitchen at a rapid pace causes him to dash quickly to the left and the right (as Papyrus does follow the protagonist to the kitchen when they enter it, then goes back to where he originally was as they exit it). Eventually, a tinkling sound will be heard if the protagonist switches rooms before allowing Papyrus to catch up, leading to a different 'completion' sound. If the protagonist talks to Papyrus before insisting on making him completely stop moving, he'll mention being a good host is a " REAL WORKOUT ". If the player is fast enough, Papyrus will be unable to keep up and stop following the protagonist after several tinkling sounds, and mention that he can't feel his legs, which must mean he is a great host.
 * Upon killing Papyrus by cutting off his head, he says "Alas, poor Papyrus!" This is likely a reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet, of the famous scene where Hamlet talks to the skull and says "Alas, poor Yorick!"
 * It is implied that Papyrus's "special attack" involved a Gaster Blaster, as Papyrus states upon inspecting the bone box in his room during an aborted Genocide route date/hangout with him that the protagonist was lucky that he didn't have to use his 'special attack', claiming that they " WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN BLASTED TO... " before noticing that his special attack is missing from the box. This also means Sans may not be the only one who can use the Gaster Blasters.
 * Phone calls with Papyrus reveal the following information:
 * Papyrus has an imaginary store that sells flames. It's "a dream of [his]".
 * Papyrus doesn’t remember Napstablook's name and tries to guess it if the protagonist phones him outside their house. His guesses are "Spooky Bloo Bloo" and "Napper Hog".
 * Papyrus believes skeletons are warm and cuddly, but that ghosts are spooky.
 * In his words, skeletons are " VERY SOFT AND FULL OF CALCIUM ".
 * The snails of Blook Family Snail Farm remind Papyrus of his brother because they are " ROUND, SLOW, AND CONSTANTLY EMITTING SLIME ".
 * " EMITTING SLIME... " he says, " THAT'S JUST WHAT BROTHERS DO. "
 * Papyrus would try eating the mushrooms in the room before the darkening lantern room and the lanterns in the darkening lantern room.
 * If the protagonist phones Papyrus in the Dump, he will say, " I KNOW WHY YOU CALLED ME. I ALWAYS MAKE PEOPLE FEEL BETTER... WHEN THEY'RE DOWN IN THE DUMPS!!! ...I'VE SPENT TOO LONG WITH MY BROTHER TODAY. "
 * In the room with Sans's third sentry station (The first in Hotland), Papyrus will say that he is " TOO BUSY TO SLEEP ." This explains why he often mistakes overnight sleep for 7 hours of napping.
 * However, this conflicts with information such as Papyrus saying that he cruises while he snoozes, and Sans mentioning him reading bedtime stories to Papyrus, and Annoying Dog sneaking in his bed while he is sleeping.
 * Papyrus's Cool Dude outfit has basketballs on the shoulders. This piece of clothing is later seen at the MTT News Report (as a disguise for a bomb), named an MTT-Brand Fashionball, "FOR WEARING, NOT PLAYING".
 * When first seeing Undyne in Waterfall, when Papyrus comes in to give Undyne his report, if he was killed and the player moved left, they would still see Papyrus' sprite. This bug was fixed in the v1.001 patch.
