Asgore Dreemurr is a character in the 2015 video game Undertale developed by Toby Fox, and its 2018 spiritual sequel Deltarune. The king of the Underground, he is a special type of creature known as a Boss Monster and serves as the penultimate boss of the game. Having previously killed six other humans as part of a plan to break an ancient Barrier created to entrap the Underground's denizens, he intends to take the protagonist's soul as the final one, freeing the monsters and getting revenge on the humans for killing his son, Asriel. He was created by Fox, with support from artist Temmie Chang.
Asgore has been generally well received, praised for the execution of the battle between him and the human, particularly him preventing the human from sparing him by destroying that part of the menu user interface. The moral dilemma of killing humans to help the monsters, as well as the similarities between the musical themes of Asgore and his wife Toriel, have made him the subject of commentary.
