Flowey the Flower is a fictional character and the primary antagonist of the 2015 video game Undertale, developed by Toby Fox. The first NPC the player encounters in the game is Flowey, who initially appears as a friendly and helpful talking flower, but quickly reveals himself to be a megalomaniacal sadist with more sinister goals. Towards the end of the game, if the player is on the "True Pacifist" route (achieved by sparing every monster in the game), it is revealed that Flowey is the soulless reincarnation of a monster named Asriel Dreemurr, the son of Toriel and Asgore and former prince of the Underground.
Flowey plays the role of the game's final boss in two of the game's three major routes: on the "Neutral" route, after absorbing the six human souls, he faces the player in an evolved, grotesque form known as "Photoshop Flowey" by fans. Some fans also call this form "Omega Flowey", including Everdraed, the creator of the fight.[1] Meanwhile, on the "True Pacifist" route, he regains his former identity as Asriel Dreemurr by absorbing the souls of every monster in the Underground as well as the human souls.
Critics and fans have praised Flowey's characterization, well-constructed backstory, occasional use of breaking the fourth wall, and boss fights.
