Dark!Gaster with Darkness

Insect!Gaster with Moth:

Wisteria!Gaster with Lavender:

Trice!Gaster with Ptero...?

Siren!Gaster?....

They feed almost entirely on the koonwarria, the fish beneath the frozen lake.

DINOTALE!

This was pretty much an excuse for me to draw Undertale’s character’s as dinosaurs because I’m a complete nerd. While drawing all of these lovely characters, I ended up headcanoning a ton of shit about this version of the Underground. If you want to know about the explanations behind a lot of my design choices, they’ve likely been detailed in these headcanons.

There was never a war between humans and the inhabitants of the Underground. Before humans fell into the Underground, the creatures there never even knew that they existed.

The dinosaurs of Mt. Ebbot are hundreds of thousands of years old, fled to the caves of Ebbot to escape their mass extinction event, and have settled into a routine of sorts to keep them sane. Any deviation from this routine causes them to panic, which is why they attack the fallen human in the first place. They did not all enter Mt. Ebbot at the same time.

Mt. Ebbot itself is old as dirt, and contains a lot of shamanistic-type magic. The dinosaurs that live there are only kept alive through this magic. Leaving Mt. Ebbot would result in their immediate death.

The ruins and any “man-made” looking structures do not exist. The Underground’s inhabitants live in dens, nests, forests, and thickets that take the place of towns. Any manmade items were gathered from the dump.

Dinosaurs such as Blooky, Sans, Papyrus, Grillby, etc appear to be ghosts, skeletons, or elementals that are shaped like their living forms. They died in some way in the vicinity of Ebbot and were affected by its healing magic, reanimating them into some twisted form that relates to their demise. (Grillby died in a volcanic eruption, Sans and Papyrus and Gaster were trapped in a tar pit and fossilized.) Most dinosaurs who have been reanimated in this way do not remember their lives before Ebbot.

The mysterious first shaman of the Underground, Gaster, discovered through experimentation on Chara’s soul (post-mortem) that human souls could be used to empower the Underground’s citizens to leave Ebbot’s magical field. Asriel was the first monster to attempt a soul infusion, and was able to leave Ebbot until he was attacked by a group of terrified humans. It is thought that if a human soul color of each type were collected, the combined power would be enough to restore the life force of the Underground’s dinosaurs.

A siamosaurus and stygimoloch respectively, they have the most unlikely of bonds! Being from different eras and separate food preferences, it makes their companionship all the more special.
