Boss Monsters: Why There May Be More Types than the Goats
In Undertale, Gerson responds with the question of whether or not Asgore is a goat by telling Frisk that heβs an βinteresting type of monsterβ - a Boss Monster.
Boss monsters are described asβ¦
Strong because of how their parentsβ Soul power transfers to the child as they age
Have Souls able to persist a few seconds after death
Functionally immortal, or un-aging, until they have biological children
Frisk themselves seems particularly interested in the last part, as they ask Gerson a rare question of their own accordβ¦
But Boss Monsters are never described as only resembling goats - the only ones we know of.
Even though the existence of Boss Monsters (plural) is common knowledge, with information about them on the plaques in Waterfall and in the Monster history booksβ¦
β¦Alphys, the royal scientist, Underground expert on Souls, and close friend of Asgore, is shocked to see another Boss Monster that closely resembles him.
She later advises Asgore (after Toriel dumps himβ¦) that he should βstop going after furry boss monstersβ, which seems to imply there are non-furry ones.
How could this be relevant to Deltarune?
Repeated emphasis is placed on how a human could absorb the soul of a Boss Monsterβ¦but this has never happened in Undertaleβs timeline.
This could indicate that this information might become important later in Deltarune; a Boss Monster may exist outside of the Dreemurr family, and the possibility of a human absorbing its Soul to become more powerful exists.
β¦now hereβs why the other Boss Monsters are definitely dragons, in my completely unbiased view.
