"take care of yourself, kid. 'cause someone really cares about you."

—Sans

Sans is the older brother of Papyrus and a major character in Undertale. He first appears in Snowdin Forest after the protagonist exits the Ruins. Sans is the deuteragonist of the Neutral and True Pacifist routes, in which he keeps an eye on the protagonist throughout the game. He is also the final boss of the Genocide Route.

Papyrus is Sans's younger brother, a major character, and the second boss in Undertale. Papyrus wants to become a Royal Guard to gain fame and friends. He patrols and prepares many of Snowdin Forest's puzzles in hopes of capturing a human and earning his goal.

"i'm sans. sans the skeleton."

—Sans

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

Sans is lazy, often sleeping on the job and taking breaks. His laziness is a combination of fatalism and apathy, as he is aware of timeline resets. Conversely, he suggests that this knowledge could be "a poor excuse for being lazy."

He enjoys being mischievous. Sans primarily acts this way towards those he is in good terms with. His antics range from an assortment of illogical, juvenile, and slightly inconvenient pranks. Examples include Sans "selling fried snow," using whoopee cushions, sharing an unscrewed ketchup bottle, and eye paint on a telescope. He is not above utilizing his teleportation or other magic for practical jokes either. Sans is also fond of making the occasional low-brow puns. He enjoys making others laugh in general, as he also performs at the MTT Resort as a comedian.

Despite Sans being apathetic towards his own life, he is considerate to those he cares for. For example, Sans is a regular at Grillby's, and the monsters and Royal Guard dogs treat him kindly. Sans has informed Big Mouth about "all kinds of incredible foods," yet Big Mouth comments that "he always orders the worst burger off the menu." Although Sans hates making promises, he respects Toriel's request to watch out for any humans. Even if the protagonist killed people that were close to him, Sans refrains from broaching the topic until the Last Corridor.

"I WILL BE THE ONE! I MUST BE THE ONE! I WILL CAPTURE A HUMAN! THEN, I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS... WILL GET ALL THE THINGS I UTTERLY DESERVE!"

—Papyrus

ᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠᅠ

Papyrus is a flamboyant skeleton who presents a confident, charismatic image of himself. He is thought to have an egotistical personality, referring to himself as "THE GREAT PAPYRUS," possibly as a way to feel as prestigious as his brother. He works hard and, despite his brash personality, is kind at heart. He is optimistic and brave, and is shown to be considerate and forgiving even when the protagonist beheads him in the Genocide Route. He is also occasionally oblivious and nonobservant, but can be cunning at times, as seen when he uses reverse psychology to trick Undyne into befriending the protagonist. He is thought of to be somewhat naive by other characters, but not dumb. He shows great bravery as even in the face of potentially imminent death, he drops his guard and spares the protagonist hopes of driving them down a better path.

Papyrus believes in others just as much as he believes in himself. He has so much faith in his abilities that he waited outside of Undyne's house all night and begged her to accept him into the Royal Guard. Seeing his persistence, Undyne offered to train him, but instead gave him cooking lessons. His confidence in himself and others is so great that he interprets direct insults towards him as the protagonist trying to make themselves look bad so he can hurt them easier, rather than the possibility that they dislike him.

The Underground is the primary setting of Undertale. It is a large region within Mount Ebott that is separated from the Surface of the Earth. It houses the kingdom of Monsters, who are ruled by King Asgore, and formerly by his ex-wife, Toriel. The Underground has varying terrain and climates, and features five main areas: the Ruins, the frigid and wintery Snowdin, the marshy and cavernous Waterfall, the blistery and barren Hotland, and the Capital. The Underground's exit is blocked by the Barrier, which was placed by the Humans long ago. Anything and anyone can enter the Underground by descending into Mount Ebott.

After the Humans defeated the Monsters in The War, the losing faction was banished into the Underground. A Barrier was erected to prevent the insiders from leaving, though outsiders could still freely enter. Wary of humans, monsters retreated into the Ruins and adapted Home as their first capital, living normal lives in the Underground from then on. Additionally, the Ruins was structured to contain diversions in the form of puzzles.
