It's Fizzy! =D

COMMON

• Ser Scratch is a DJ and host of the most popular radio show Ser Scratch Music [SSM]. Their body was created by their friend Undyne, Ser Scratch was formerly a ghost named Napstablook. Mettalot is their cousin.

• they will have "old-timey" characteristics.

• Undyne will be acting as Ser Scratch's cheerleader. their relationship will be the opposite of Mettaton and Alphys' in Undertale.

• Ser Scratch's only known line at this point is "oh no…" from a sketch on ts!wiki.

• their ghost form is identical to Napstablook's appearence in Undertale.

• Ser Scratch has only three fingers.

• on July 4, 2017, Ser Scratch's old design was included in TS!UNDERSWAP fansong called "13th Friday Blues - Mechanical Swing And All That Jazz."

• Ser Scratch will not have an ex form. instead, they will have something "different than one would expect."

• Ser Scratch's old design was called "sir scratchalot", used he/him pronouns, and had a more "masculine" appearance.

• They will be the 4th boss of the game.

• They had a conflict with Muffet, where they and Mettalot made the bakery more attractive to buyers, but turned away long-time customers.

• They sponsor a Nicecream stand at the festival in Starlight Islands.

DEEP DIVE

• Ser Scratch clearly has a lot of money, as Muffet called them Mettalot's "rich buddy" during her hangout.

• Ser Scratch, according to the developers, has their own club. it could be either a radio studio or an entertainment complex like the MTT hotel.

• Ser Scratch's design, the developers say, combines aspects of a "combat robot," aspects of music, and some older computer technology.

• Moderato! was supposed to be Ser Scratch's OST . the developers said they plan to remake it, but most likely a separate soundtrack will be used.

• in TS!UNDERSWAP, the relationship between Ser Scratch and Napstablook is fundamentally different from Undertale's Mettaton and his ghost form — Ser Scratch is more like a persona instead of an identity for Napstablook. developers say, that Ser Scratch and Napstablook can technically be considered separate characters.

• according to the developers, NEXUS will be longer than Core, and Ser Scratch will (most likely) be the final boss there.

• Ser Scratch and Mettalot most likely interacted even after Napstablook became corporeal, as Muffet describes "conniving leecher, alongside his rich buddy" ruining her bakery.

• it was most likely Ser Scratch who first offered Muffet cooperation, since she asks Chara, would they turn down the opportunity to expand a business that someone rich offered.

• at the end of the September 2024 progress report, there is Chara in Ser Scratch's costume.

SPECULATIONS

please note: all of the following suggestions are not confirmed, the developers have not given any hints, and all assumptions are just possible thoughts.

• there's speculation that the battle with Ser Scratch will be somehow connected to rhythm games. i doubt Undyne will force them into battle, but due to Undertale's green soul mechanics, a rhythm game implementation is entirely possible.

• Ser Scratch may be able to support small businesses: after the Grillby's restaurant chain expanded, Grillby's moved to Boreal Bluffs; SSM also sponsors Nicecream stand on Starlight Islands, and earlier, Muffet's Bakery.

• Ser Scratch probably can't eat or drink because they don't have a physical mouth and it only exists on screen.

• it's likely the conflict between Ser Scratch and Muffet isn't as clear-cut as it currently appears. Muffet told that they and Mettalot made her bakery more attractive, but drove away her old customers. more information should emerge in the future, as will the relationship between Ser Scratch and their employees/colleagues.

• perhaps in contrast to Mettaton from Undertale, Ser Scratch knows about Undyne's secret.

• Ser Scratch will most likely act more confident because they are "playing a persona." perhaps they will have impostor syndrome?

• my guess is that they decided to cut ties with Mettalot because they decided they had different goals. Ser Scratch simply wanted to pursue music, while Mettalot had always been focused on public performances. this assumption is the least certain, as their relationship would likely be radically different from the relationship between Mettaton and Napstablook in Undertale.

OTHER

• i have Ser Scratch's blog on telegram! it's not in English, but you can check it up anyway.

• Ser Scratch already has their first pairing: with Sweet from DELTARUNE. the crossship is called tomacheese/radiomusic, and artists @gr777n and @nemni-watermelonous (@hatagilyermo and @NemniMeepsMelony on telegram) often draw art based on them.

• first Ser Scratch edit is made by me. second too, but i didn't publish it since i didn't like i...
