Aaron is an enemy that can appear in Waterfall. He is a muscular merhorse (or rather a sea horse) with a long, winding tail and a twelve-pack.

His lines are vaguely flirty as well as creepy, and he adds a winking face to the end of every line he speaks.

In Battle

Appears With

• Temmie
• Woshua
• Shyren

Attacks

• Flexing muscles move upward from the right and left sides of the bullet board. They speed up as the seconds go by.
• Sweat falls straight & diagonally from the top of the box.

Strategy

• To spare him, the protagonist must flex at Aaron, the first time he will take it as a challenge to a flexing contest, the second time he will flex harder, and the third time he will flex too hard and flex himself out of the room, meaning the protagonist has won by default.
  • After each flex, the protagonist and Aaron will have increased attack.
  • It takes only one flex to him to flex out after flexing at Temmie.
• If "Joke" is selected while fighting Aaron alongside Woshua, Aaron will become sparable.
• If the protagonist plays Napstablook's music, Aaron and Woshua appear and are immediately scared off by how spooky the music is, which is the only way to get him to have the yellow text in the ending.
  • After this event, his encounter dialogue is different, and it is possible to make Aaron leave in battle by shooing him.

Endings

True Pacifist Ending Credits

• White Text - "Still Flexing"
• Yellow Text - "Paranormal Investigator"
  • To achieve the yellow text, the protagonist must go to Napstablook's house in Waterfall, play one of the spooky songs, and then leave with the CD still playing. Walking around will trigger a unique encounter with Aaron and Woshua.

Once the protagonist has gotten past Undyne into Hotland, Aaron, if alive, will be near the second umbrella bin near the view of the King's castle.

Lemon Bread comments that Aaron is now her brother.

Name

Aaron is named after and slightly based on a former roommate of Toby Fox.

When "Aaron" is typed for the protagonist's name, the response becomes "Is this name correct? ; )"

Trivia

• A parallel seems to have been drawn between Aaron and an enemy from the SNES game Breath of Fire II called Dir. HR which is also very muscular and shirtless. When it attacks, it says "Education? Hobby? Talent!?" and then performs a flexing animation.
• Additionally, Toby is aware of the Homestuck connection to this enemy.
• When an enemy without a death sprite dies, it will display Aaron as he is the place-holder for any enemy without one.
• Aaron does not appear to tell the story of Asriel Dreemurr in New Home, possibly because he ends all his sentences in winks.
• Aaron is hated by all Temmies because of his constant flexing.
• Aaron is one of the monster species making up the Amalgamate Lemon Bread; specifically, Lemon Bread is spared by flexing, an ACT adopted specifically from Aaron, and Lemon Bread appears to have Aaron's bicep attached to its body and the ends of Aaron's tails for eyes. She also confirms this at the end of a True Pacifist Route, where she comments that her other parts do not look forward to seeing Aaron.
