Top 10 Undertale Characters to Feel Bad For

The Top Ten
1 Asriel Dreemurr Asriel Dreemurr is a character from the 2015 game Undertale. He was created by Toby Fox.

Asriel is the child of King Asgore Dreemurr and Queen Toriel, but he seemingly passed away prior to the game's events. His backstory is only focused on in the True Pacifist Route, which means the player does not kill a single character. As a young child, he was a close friend of Chara, a human child who... read more

My Friend Elliot says that Sans is the Saddest Character. But how when, this guy, Lost the 1 person who was not only his adoptive sister, but also his BFF!? AND THEN GOT STABBED RIGHT IN THE CHEST BY SOME MISUNDERSTANDING HUMANS!?

The game calls it a "happy ending for everybody" if you do the pacifist route. Meanwhile, Asriel is stuck with out a soul as a corrupted flower, and to top it all off he's entirely alone in the underground (aside from the tem watching the egg)

The poor kid dies, becomes flower, sometimes re-dies, thinks his best friend is back, then gets left behind as everyone goes back to a better world.

2 Snowdrake's Mother
3 Alphys Alphys is an adorably dorky, lab-coat-wearing, bespectacled, yellow-skinned lizard scientist who resides in her lab in Hotland in the critically acclaimed cult classic RPG known as Undertale, wherein she partakes in the daily act of watching insane amounts of anime and having a vast majority of the game's plot-related spoilers attached to her. Plot twists aside, however, she is also well known for creating the fabulous entertainment robot Mettaton, as well as having a massive crush on a young fish woman named Undyne, thus creating one of the most beloved lesbian couples in fiction.

She just never gets what she wants...

She just wants you to like her...

4 Sans Sans or Sans the Skeleton is a character in the 2015 RPG Undertale created by Toby Fox. He is a lazy, pun-loving skeleton who is a supporting protagonist in the "pacifist" and "neutral" routes of Undertale, and a heroic antagonist/final boss of the "genocide" route. He is known for his incredibly difficult ...read more.

Honestly, yeah, his backstory is pretty sad in the genocide route, but really in the other routes he's just there for comic relief, and really has a pretty easy life.

HE CONSTANTLY LOSES EVERYTHING HE LOVES! If I must say more he never gets a happy ending. whenever the player finishes pacifist, the dirty brother killer just resets, this time wanting to kill everyone.

He loses his brother so often and is the only one in the underground I just can't explain it. BUT WHY IS PAPYRUS ON THE LIST?!?!?!?

He's depressed, can remember when everyone died, and he cracks jokes to help others around him and not himself.

5 Lemon Bread
6 Papyrus Papyrus is a character from the 2015 game Undertale, made by Toby Fox. He is the Younger brother of Sans the skeleton, royal guard in training, and a sentry in the town of Snowdin. Opposite to his brother, papyrus is active, loud, and full of himself; but in an endearing way. Papyrus means to become a full-fledged member of the guard by capturing a human to please his superior. A lover of puzzles and spaghetti, Papyrus provides much of the games comic relief and is a key character in the plot of the game.

In the King Papyrus ending, it's hard NOT to feel bad for him. His best friends all disappeared to his new human friend, Sans has to do the work for him and tells him his friends went on vacation, and meanwhile Papyrus only wants to see his friends again, and is overworked trying to encourage everyone and confused. Good luck with that.

He just doesn't get some things.

He just can't be popular

7 Endogeny Endogeny is a minor character in the indie game "Undertale," developed by Toby Fox. This creature is a part of the "Amalgamates," monsters that have been experimented on and fused together. Endogeny is a disturbing blend of several dogs and is encountered in the True Lab. Despite its unsettling appearance, the character highlights themes of tragedy and compassion within the game's narrative.

I mean how does it eat drink sleep or do anything a mean its probley very lonley will anybody pet him?

8 Asgore Asgore Dreemurr is a boss monster and the king of the monsters in the 2015 RPG Undertale made by Toby Fox. Asgore is the portrayed main antagonist who plans to acquire seven human souls and use their power to break the barrier that seals the monsters underground . Aspects of his character are hinted ...read more.

I seriously don't even understand why Asgore is so low on this list, yeah, Asriel probably does have a sadder story than Asgore but- WHY IS SANS ABOVE ASGORE?! Seriously though, before you say "bUT SANS UNDERTAL LOST HIS BROTHER IN THE GENOCIDE ROUT! 111! 11! " Asgore lost both of his children, his wife left him, and since almost ALL of his subjects are counting on him to kill- something that makes him very uncomfortable- I'm pretty sure he's more depressed than Sans or Papyrus-

Asgore canonically sacrifices himself for you in a Neutral Ending, should you kill Flowey- aka, he basically takes his life. If that isn't depressing, then I don't know what is. And people say Sans has it worse than Asgore. I mean, for cripes sake, Sans hasn't even been confirmed to remember the resets- at least he has his brother, whilst Asgore has literally no one to lean on!

Asgore should be in top 3 for sure. He lost his children, wife left him in the times he needed her the most. He lost hope and in anger declared war. Something he regreted lately. But he is a king. He was the only hope for all the monsters.
So he has to keep his promise even that he hates himself for doing so.
He made a mistake and is paying too big price.
He doesn't see a way out. So he is hoping no human will fall again and that the final war and the extinction of monsters or humans won't happen...

Asgore, is in my opinion, the most tragic character in the game, with no way out in his situation- yet he carries on with his plan for monsterkind regardless. And it just destroys him.

9 Burgerpants Burgerpants is a vendor in the 2015 RPG video game Undertale, who sells various kinds of fast food working in MTT Resort, such as a hamburger dubbed "Glamburger", ice cream dubbed "Starfait", and even a steak in the shape of Mettaton's, his employer, face.

Working for mettaton doesn't sound like the easiest thing in the world...

10 Toriel Toriel is a goat like monster who is the secondary major character in Toby Fox's 2016 RPG, Undertale. She saves the protagonist from Flowey and guides them through the Ruins, of which she is the self-proclaimed caretaker. She is the ex-wife of Asgore, the mother of Asriel Dreemurr, the adoptive mother... read more

She's just a lonely, sad mother having lost both her children and divorcing her husband.

because in the genocide route you kill her and she saved you,was very supportive,and nice trying to protect you from asgore,and then you kil the thing

The Contenders
11 Chara Chara is a character in the game Undertale by Toby "Radiation" Fox who is one of the seven people to fall to the Underground prior to the fall of the player character. Their name can be changed by the player and will be assumed as the player character, until the Pacifist Route when Asriel asks for the player's name, which is Frisk. In the genocidal route (achieved by killing as many monsters as you can without sparing), they appear by the end to destroy the world, which happens regardless of the player's choice or intervention. Due to this, most people see them as a villain.

I know what most of you are going to say. "Why feel bad for Chara? They killed EVERYONE, and then forced US to do it," but no. WE did. WE taught them they were ressurected to gain power. Not to mention, they chose one of the most painful deaths you can have to save all of monsterkind, and give them the surface thatthey deserve to live in.

Everybody thinks that she's evil, because they say, "bUT cHarA kiLLeD evEyone! aNd ForcEd FrIsk To gO alOnG wiTh iT!" But no. YOU, the PLAYER, not Frisk, not Chara, was the one that decided to kill everyone. And YOU force them to go along with your plan.

They died trying to save all monsters, and they have to watch us murder their loved ones on a Genocide Run, causing them to become twisted and corrupted. When they gave us what we deserved, people started calling them the bad guy.
Wow. Just... wow.

Chara was a troubled child, between 8 and 12, who made some serious mistakes.

Most of what’s straight-up shown/said about them is... pretty damning. Asriel says that they’re not the greatest person, and they only ever really show up to take Frisk’s SOUL, erase the world, and then (presumably) kill everyone in the golden ending.

But then we take a good, long look at the narration.

We notice how the line "It’s me, Chara" is said in the exact same voice grunting, font, everything as the rest of the narration.

We use our critical thinking skills -- we wonder why they refer to snail pie as an "acquired taste," get excited about toys, know all of Asriel’s attacks, tell jokes about two kids who are presumably the Dreemurr children, and have a very dark line about how if you lie in Chara’s bed (the one they died in), you might not ever get up.

You can tell that the narrator is a child who lived with the Dreemurrs and was very close to Asriel. ...more

12 Everyman
13 Flowey Flowey is a flower in the RPG Undertale. He is the first character you meet, and also your best friend.

How is Flowey NOT above Asriel? Same thing that one of these guys said! He literally IS Asriel except without a soul and he can't feel anything for anyone! its not like he isn't trying! When he first turned into a flower, he was scared and crying! :'(

I can't believe he is below Sans and Chara. He is basically Asriel, but without a soul.
