Papyrus is the only boss/fight encounter that can't kill you. Even Toriel can kill you, albeit by accident.

He's confident to the point of almost being narcissistic, but underneath desperate for approval (especially of Undyne) and a burning desire to be popular - basically the whole reason he wants to capture you. He's not even remotely being subtle about this; he'll project all his issues onto you right before you start the first fight encounter:

ALLOW ME TO TELL YOU ABOUT SOME COMPLEX FEELINGS

(...)

THE DESIRE TO HAVE A COOL, SMART PERSON THINK YOU ARE COOL

THESE FEELINGS...

THEY MUST BE WHAT YOU ARE FEELING RIGHT NOW ! ! !

I CAN HARDLY IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST BE LIKE TO FEEL THAT WAY.

AFTER ALL, I AM VERY GREAT.

I DON'T EVER WONDER WHAT HAVING MANY FRIENDS IS LIKE.
