Asgore

Asgore Dreemurr is a reoccurring character 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 is portrayed with in Undertale: 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. However Asgore's attempts to spark conversation with Toriel come off as akin to a stalkers as he seemingly followed her to Sans and shop and from Church before waiting to hand her a bouquet and make small talk.

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 the mayor (albeit with heavy leniency) which he is unable to pay due to his generosity with his flowers. Regardless he is on good terms with his neighbors, the Holiday family (Noelle, Rudy, and his wife, who employees him as a Gardener and oversees his business). Asgore continues to visit Rudy at the hospital and continues to leave him roses and bouquets .

However, Asgore is indicated to be conspiratorially as his Flower King basement reveals a corkboard with multiple documents, with a similar one appearing in Carols room that Asgore looks over. His conversation with himself suggests he is still searching for someone and is troubled by the incident that left a stain on his reputation leading to his removal from the force and divorce, that he seeks to rectify by use of a Black Shard to reveal the truth on what really happened during the incident.

Main Story

History

During his college years, Asgore was the roommate of Rudolph Holiday and a fast and close friend to Toriel. Eventually he would marry Toriel and invite Rudy as was the best man at his wedding, soon becoming the father of two children, Asriel and Kris. Over the years the Dreemurr and Holiday family remained close with Asgore inviting them over to their house for the holidays. Asgore served on the police force as chief of Hometown, but due to an unspecified incident, he was removed and Undyne was promoted to take over his position around the same time his relationship soured with Toriel as frequent arguments between them would break out and they subsequently divorced. 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. Asgore would eventually set up shop at an establishment called Flower King overseen by the mayor Carol Holiday and occasionally do yard work for her. He would also remain in contact with Rudy and continue delivering him flowers at the hospital.

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.

Chapter 4

After Toriel, Susie, and Kris exit Church, Asgore approaches and offers the former a bouquet of flowers but Toriel rejects them and swiftly leaves the area, after noticing Kris and Susie Asgore offers them a rose before heading off to deliver Rudy another bouquet of flowers and finish work at the Holiday residence. When Kris separates the SOUL from themselves at the Holiday Residence, the Player can find Asgore talking to himself in the bathroom and contemplates taking a break before reminding himself he must focus and go "settle this once and for all". Asgore declares he must go looking for something again before exiting the restroom. If the player, goes into Carol and Rudys room they while find Asgore standing in front of a bulletin board and continuing his conversation with an unknown party. Asgore claims that he is almost ready to show Toriel and all of Hometown "what really happened" and that they will finally believe that he just wanted to "protect everyone". Asgore reminisces that his family life will finally go back to normal before he ends his conversation admiring a Black Shard.

After some time Asgore finds Susie and Noelle on the coach and asks if he can eat from the snack tray, after they say yes Asgore proceeds to chow down before casually revealing Carol was outside. After a tense argument ensues with Carol and Susie, she asks Asgore to eat the snack tray outside while she speaks with Noelle. Afterward Asgore attempts to cheer Susie and Kris up by offering the rest of the snack try before telling Kris they will be at tomorrows festivals to sell flowers before biding them goodbye. For the remainder of the chapter Asgore in unseen though a brief section of the prophecy depicts him Infront of a flower with the text "Flower King trapped in Asylum". If Kris and the player inspect the back door of Flower King they will see a basement window revealing a corkboard with multiple documents scattered all over the floor.

Weird Route

Asgore's earlier interactions with Toriel play out the same however, he is unseen in the bathroom or Carol's room. Instead, Asgore notices Kris is in a state of distress and knocks on the bathroom door asking if they are okay while revealing to them that Carol is asking everyone to leave the residence, Asgore also reveals he made a hot chocolate for Kris to drink after noticing they were down and that he and Susie are waiting outside with it before hoping that they feel better. After noticing Kris still looks distressed Asgore recommends they go home before giving them the hot chocolate and biding them good day.

Trivia

• A possible sibling of Asgore was jokingly proposed by Toby Fox during the Undertale 10th Anniversary Stream, in which mentioned the absurdity of introducing a character named "Reidgore" in Chapter 5 despite never showing up in previous chapters.
• 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.
