What Is Undertale?
Undertale is a role-playing game by Toby Fox, released in 2015, about a human child who falls into an underground world of monsters. Monsters were sealed beneath Mount Ebott by a magic barrier after a war with humans. The player can fight them or spare every one.
Undertale is famous for its pun names. The skeleton brothers Sans and Papyrus share names with the fonts Comic Sans and Papyrus, and Muffet the spider comes from the rhyme Little Miss Muffet. Human SOULs come in 7 traits, such as determination and kindness. The Undertale Wikipedia page covers the game and its follow-up, Deltarune.

How to Name an Undertale Character?
An Undertale name is usually a pun on what the character is, or a reference that fans can spot. Sans and Papyrus are fonts, Undyne comes from undine, a water spirit, and Grillby comes from grill. The table below shows the pun source for each character type, with an example.
| Character Type | Pun Source | Canon Example | Example Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Skeleton | A font name | Sans | Garamond of Snowdin | Named after the Garamond font, of Snowdin |
| Dog | A name mixed with a dog word | Doggo | Woofgang the Sentry | A pun on Wolfgang and woof, the sentry |
| Ghost | A name mixed with a ghost word | Napstablook | Ghoulia of Waterfall | A pun on Julia and ghoul, of Waterfall |
| Goat Monster | A name mixed with a goat word | Toriel | Billiam of New Home | A pun on William and billy goat, of New Home |
| Spider | A name mixed with a spider word | Muffet | Spinelope of Hotland | A pun on Penelope and spin, of Hotland |

4 Quick Tips for Naming an Undertale Character
- Start with a pun. Mix a normal name with a word about the monster, as in Woofgang for a dog.
- Name a skeleton after a font. Sans and Papyrus started the joke, so a font like Garamond or Helvetica fits right in.
- Match a human to a SOUL. A brave child suits Leonard (brave lion) and the Orange Soul of bravery.
- Skip canon names. Names like Sans, Toriel, and Undyne belong to known characters, so the generator leaves them out.
