This encounter must happen before the fight withPapyrus, or Glyde does not appear. The higher the kill count of the protagonist during theGenocide Route, the longer it takes for Glyde to appear — possibly upwards of thirty minutes.

Trivia[]
- Glyde's name was likely decided by the Kickstarter backer who had Glyde put into the game. Glyde's name may come from the wordgleyde, which can mean "a disagreeable old man," referring to Glyde's unpleasant demeanor.Glydeis also an obsolete spelling ofglide, referring to how Glyde has no legs and can be seen as floating or levitating.
- There is a small glitch that allows Glyde to be encountered a bit easier: If Undertale is open in "windowed mode" and lets the window lose focus, the protagonist continues to march on the spot, which allows players to do something else during that time. Walking and alt-tabbing while fullscreen has the same effect. One can also hold the " Up [↑], Down [↓]" keys, approach the north wall and march on the spot that way.
- Glyde may be a reference to the Mortasheen monster,Twileye, in both shape and personality. Mortasheen is a fictional world full of monsters created by Jonothan Wojcik.
