Say, Kris... I was thinking.
Perhaps when Asriel comes home...
We could all go to the diner, just like old times...
My treat.Asgore
Asgore Dreemurr is a minor NPC in Deltarune, and a returning character from Undertale. He lives alone in the flower shop "Flower King" in Hometown, and is Kris and Asriel's father.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
Asgore is a large, white-furred monster with a goat-like appearance with an intimidating stature. He has broad shoulders, a golden-blond mane, two large curved horns, and a beard. He has patches of gold fur that resemble hair on his head and arms. Asgore appears to be more fat with a large gut rather than the broad-chested Herculean build he portrays: albeit he keeps his wide bulky appearance, his tall stature and especially his overall muscular limbs. He dresses in a Hawaiian T-shirt which is pink in color and has white flowers alongside a simple pair of blue jeans.
Personality[]
Asgore is affectionate and eager to please, but acts somewhat thoughtlessly and oversteps boundaries. He dwells on his past relationship with Toriel, and tries to reconnect with her and his children whenever he has the chance.
He apparently lives irresponsibly and does not take very good care of himself; he lives in squalor, his car is filthy, and he owes rent to a "C" which he is unable to pay due to his generosity with his flowers.
He is on good terms with his neighbors, the Holiday family (Noelle, Rudy, and his wife). Asgore and Rudy were themselves college roommates, and Rudy was the best man at his wedding to Toriel.
Main Story[]
History[]
Asgore was previously married to Toriel, although the relationship soured and they subsequently divorced. He served on the police force as chief, but due to an unspecified incident, he was removed and Undyne was promoted to take over his position. It is not clear what this incident is, but when Kris finds an article about it, they skim over the headline and quickly stop reading.
Chapter 1[]
After returning from the Dark World, Kris can visit Asgore in the Flower Shop. When Kris arrives, Asgore pulls them into a hug and lifts them up in the air before realizing that they might not enjoy hugs like that. Asgore owns, works in, and lives in the flower shop alone. His air mattress can be found in the back room, along with a nearly empty fridge and a television. After Kris looks at the air mattress, Asgore asks them if they want to spend the night with him, before realizing it's a bad idea altogether.
Before Kris leaves, Asgore gives them a bouquet of flowers for Toriel, which he asks them to keep a secret. However, she isn't fooled. If Kris offers the bouquet to her, she begrudgingly accepts them. Once Kris leaves the room and returns, checking the trash can reveals that it's emitting a stronger floral scent, heavily implying she disposed of the flowers while they weren't looking.
Chapter 2[]
Asgore later appears the next day at Sans's grocery store when the latter is making jokes with Toriel. He tries talking to her, but she lets him down easy. However, she says they would talk to Asriel when he returns next week before leaving. Asgore then gets the free pickles from Sans and asks what kind of flowers would remind Toriel of the time they first met, to which Sans replies by saying he should "talk to his plants". Asgore thanks Sans for the advice before he leaves the store as well.
Trivia[]
- The name of Asgore's flower shop is "Flower King", referencing how in Undertale, Asgore was the king of the Underground as well as a gardener. He predominantly tended to a garden of golden flowers.
- The upper floor of Asgore's flower shop houses seven unique flowers, which have the same structure and form as Golden Flowers, but with a rainbow of coloration that matches the SOULs in Undertale. Rather than having a red flower, however, there is a single golden one (distinct from the yellow one) with ordinary coloration.
- The golden flower in the center seems to reference Flowey from Undertale.
- The photograph on Asgore's fridge of his marriage to Toriel shows that Toriel had a seven-colored bouquet of flowers matching these flowers.
- Asgore's Deltarune overworld sprite is reused from Undertale's True Pacifist ending credits.
- If Kris opens the fridge with an Egg in the inventory, they put it in the fridge without a prompt.
- If Kris opens the fridge a second time with or without the Egg in the inventory, an egg still appears in the fridge. With the Egg, the narration mentions that there are "two Eggs inside the fridge."
- The dialogue Asgore says when encountering Kris in the Flower Shop is identical to the dialogue he says in Undertale when first meeting Frisk.
- In Deltarune, Asgore's dialogue portrait indicates an incomplete mustache, with two ends that do not meet. His overworld sprite instead has a full beard, more closely resembling his appearance from Undertale.
- In Undertale, Asgore claims to be watering the flowers in the Throne Room, despite having no visible watering can. This sparked a theory among players that he was urinating on the flowers. In Deltarune, Asgore has a watering can, and the sprite of him watering the flowers is named
spr_asgoreu_notpiss
, presumably because Toby Fox wanted to stop these theories. - Like in Undertale, Asgore is on good terms with Sans, and even gets free pickles and advice from him, despite him being close friends with Toriel.
