Moldessa (/moʊlˈdɛsə/) is a monster in Undertale, appearing throughout the Ruins only on Hard Mode. It is a stronger counterpart of Moldsmal, similar to Moldbygg.

Profile

Appearance

Moldessa appears to be a hardened gelatin mold with two "arms" (or ears) protruding from its plant-like top. It has a number of different "faces" that are made randomly each battle, and can change depending on the protagonist's actions.
