Jerry (Undertale) (2024)

Wow, you guys SUCK at this.
~ Jerry insulting his teammates.

Jerry is a minor enemy in Undertale. Exclusive to Snowdin Forest, he is generally a support monster, but unlike most support characters in fiction, he generally acts like a jerk to his team.

What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]

  • He is very rude to everyone around him, frequently insulting them and being discouraging.
  • He has a terrible sense of hygiene, as he licks his hands and sneezes without even cleaning himself. If his tarot card merchandise is canon, then he even walks around naked.
  • He is very tedious to try to kill, as he has very high defense and good HP, so killing him will take a while. In fact, he's one of the two characters in the Genocide Run who will go down in more than three hits, the other being Undyne the Undying.
  • Despite the fact that the protagonist can be an an all-loving hero in the True Pacifist Route, there is no other way to spare him other than ditching him mid-battle, which means even Frisk hates him.
  • Unlike every monster in the game, he has absolutely no redeeming qualities, and was deliberately written to be unlikeable as confirmed by Toby Fox himself.

Trivia[]

  • He is the only character made by Toby Fox to be a hate sink (aside from Papyrus's original script version, who is an unused character and was made into the much more likeable Papyrus seen in the final product), as pretty much everyone else has redeeming qualities to make them more humanized.
  • Despite his status as a Hate Sink, Jerry is actually somewhat-popular within the fanbase due to how much of a jerk he is, although if only to point out how unlikable he is and jokingly call him Undertale's single most evil character.

FAQs

What happens if you spare everyone but Jerry? ›

Sparing all other monsters while Jerry is ditched ends the fight. Jerry can immediately be spared if the protagonist has high enough AT. When Jerry appears with Snowdrake or Chilldrake and the protagonist makes a joke, Jerry can be spared.

Does Jerry give EXP? ›

Jerry is unique in that it has no attack of its own, but instead causes other monsters' attacks to last 2 seconds longer than normal. Contrary to popular belief, killing Jerry accrues EXP and is considered a kill by the game, which will cause a True Pacifist Route attempt to fail.

Jerry is a minor enemy in Undertale. Exclusive to Snowdin Forest, he is generally a support monster, but unlike most support characters in fiction, he generally acts like a jerk to his team.

What to do after Chara kills you? ›

Just wait for about 10 minutes and Chara, the one who killed you at the very end, will return, and will start taking to you again. Say you are above consequences and give them your SOUL. Then the game will reset entirely. However, both the True Pacifist and Genocide endings will be changed.

Is it still Genocide if you spare monster kid? ›

Monster Kid is not seen again for the rest of the game; it is assumed they evacuated with the others. If the protagonist spares Monster Kid, they exclaim the protagonist wasn't particularly bad. This action aborts the Genocide Route, and the protagonist fights Undyne later in Waterfall normally.

Who is so sorry Undertale? ›

How much EXP do you need for Genocide ruins? ›

EXP doesn't actually matter in this game, except for making a couple battles easier. What's more important for a Genocide Route is reaching the kill count for each area, which is 20 for Ruins, 16 for Snowdin, 24 for Waterfall, and 40 for Hotland+CORE (CORE has better encounter rates).

Who is more evil, Frisk or Chara? ›

It's Frisk that is killing people (or technically the player, but I'll use the player and Frisk interchangeably in this post.) Chara doesn't force Frisk/the player to do anything, it's entirely your choice.

Is Sans a bad guy? ›

Type of Villain

Sans, more commonly known as Insanity Sans, is the main antagonist of the Undertale AT called Undertale: Insanity, created by Zero Danteero and currently owned by UTF.

What made Chara evil? ›

They were lead astray by the player, and they sure did make some poor decisions, but it's not entirely their fault. You as the player, decided to go on a genocide and kill all their friends. This threw corruption and hate onto Chara, and caused them to want to purify and free all their friends from this hell.

What if you reset after killing Sans? ›

You will be fine. As long you don't answer Chara question. I did reset after I kill sans just to see how Sans would act and meet him back to the snow area. He was kinda salty and not salty any more after I don't kill Papyrus.

Do I fight or mercy Flowey? ›

After he is defeated, the protagonist has the chance to spare or kill Flowey. Flowey requires the protagonist to offer him mercy thirteen times before he flees, unsure why the protagonist is being nice to him.

How many kills do you need for genocide in Undertale? ›

It's 20 kills (not including the dummy or the first Froggit). Also the kill counter you eventually do get doesn't include bosses. i e 1 left in Snowdin means you must kill 1 more monster before fighting Papyrus. Read wiki.

What happens if you only spare mettaton? ›

If you spare Mettaton, you get the Mettaton ending, where he becomes king with Sans (and Papyrus if he was spared) as his agent(s).

What is the true Genocide ending in Undertale? ›

Killing every creature and also purposefully triggering every random encounter to kill those creatures as well will get you the genocide ending. Doing this will permanently taint your save file, even for future playthroughs.

What happens if you try to spare mettaton neo? ›

There is no way to spare Mettaton NEO, meaning that the point at which a Genocide Route cannot be aborted occurs before fighting him when the last random encounter is killed. Contrary to popular belief, a weak attack does not revert to the Neutral Route.

What is the true pacifist ending? ›

The True Pacifist ending requires you to spare all the monsters AND complete several actions. After sparing Papyrus, go to his house to have a date with him. After pouring the water on Undyne, head back to her house to get a cooking lesson from her.
