A Boss Monster as seen in the Undertale Introduction

The game's lore explicitly states two things:

  1. Boss Monsters' SOULs persist briefly after death.[1]
  2. Boss Monsters only age when their offspring does.[2]

When a Boss Monster dies, their body turns to dust; however, their SOUL, in a heart shape, lingers for a few seconds before shattering. Similar to other monsters' SOULs, the souls of Boss Monsters are white.

There are currently three known Boss Monsters: Toriel, Asgore, and their son, Asriel. Although not intrinsic characteristics of Boss Monsters, the three of them share several traits; namely, a resemblance to Nubian goats, long droopy ears, visible fangs, a pair of horns, anthropomorphic bodies, and paws at the end of their extremities. All currently known Boss Monsters are also part of the same royal bloodline. Boss Monsters rule over the Underground, this likely explains their name.
