* ''[[https://soundcloud.com/slick_silver/sets/aftergore-ii-ost Aftergore II]]'', the Betrayed Undyne ending, sees Mettaton as the only casualty of Frisk's time in the Underground. While Toriel still takes over, the monsters are wary of her pro-human policies after seeing their top celebrity be slain by one on live TV.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/slick_silver/sets/aftergore-i-ost Aftergore I]], the Incomplete/Flawed Pacifist ending, sees all the monsters (save for Asgore) live until the end, with Toriel taking over as the Underground's ruler

While Toriel still takes over, the monsters are wary of her pro-human policies after seeing their top celebrity be slain by one on live TV.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/slick_silver/sets/aftergore-iii-ost Aftergore III]], the Exiled Queen ending, sees Asgore and Undyne killed but all other monsters spared. With the Underground's strongest monsters gone and Toriel sent packing by threats of a coup, life down there has grown tense and unstable.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/slick_silver/sets/aftergore-iv-ost Aftergore IV]], the Queen Undyne ending, has Asgore, Toriel, and the monsters in the Ruins killed but everyone else spared. Undyne has become ruler of the Underground and is seeking revenge against humanity for the deaths of her mentor and those in the Ruins.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/slick_silver/sets/aftergore-v-ost Aftergore V]], the King Mettaton ending, has Mettaton take over the Underground and turn it into his version of paradise after Asgore, Toriel, and Undyne are killed. The only respite from his obnoxious "improvements" and his widespread fan club are the Ruins.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/slick_silver/sets/aftergore-vi-ost Aftergore VI]], the King Papyrus ending, has Frisk kill as many monsters as possible except for Papyrus. He's trying to keep the populace happy, but the pressures of wearing the crown are starting to wear him down, even though Sans and Flowey are doing all the real work.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/user-255285003/sets/aftergore-vii-ost Aftergore VII]], the Dog ending, has Frisk kill all of the fightable major characters but leave the common monsters alone. A little white dog's taken over the underground; despite several very important people dying, most monsters don't seem to be that perturbed by this turn of events.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/slick_silver/sets/aftergore-viii-ost Aftergore VIII]], the Leaderless ending, has Frisk kill all the monsters they encountered without going out of their way to wipe out everyone. The result is an Underground that's embroiled in societal unrest, with an unlikely character stepping up to rule.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/slick_silver/sets/aftergore-ix-ost Aftergore IX]], the Aborted Genocide ending, has Frisk kill as many monsters as possible save for a handful. Alphys is left to pick up the pieces, and the Underground begins to shift into a hostile industrialized society.

* [[https://soundcloud.com/slick_silver/sets/aftergore-cdiv-ost Aftergore CDIV]], the Impossible/Dirty Hacker ending, has a player tamper with the game's code to render one of the bosses alive and dead at the same time. Things in the Underground get... strange because of this.

Added DiffLines:

* EmpathicEnvironment: The weather on the Surface when Nex makes it out of the Underground differs between ''Aftergore'' variations to reflect the overall mood of the Underground, with the names of the various "Respite" equivalent tracks likewise having different names and sound effects to tie into the weather.
** ''I'''s Respite is called "A Beautiful Day" and has birdsong audible, mirroring how it's the happiest possible ending that still has the monsters trapped after Frisk left.
** ''II'''s Respite has a rainstorm accompanying the song and is called "It's Raining", reflecting how the loss of Mettaton has dampened the Underground's spirit. It also refers to Sans stepping up to try filling the void Mettaton left, as one of the tracks associated with him in ''Undertale'' is called "It's Raining Somewhere Else".


Added DiffLines:

* NoodleIncident: Dogamy and Dogaressa, who were SickeninglySweethearts back in ''Undertale'', divorced sometime between the game's Betrayed Undyne ending and the beginning of ''Aftergore II'' and now run shops in different parts of the Underground, with neither of them keen on discussing what happened.
-->They don't wanna talk about their marital struggles or their former nose nuzzling anymore. Just buy their stuff.

** In ''Undertale'', Burgerpants is a disillusioned young adult working at a burger restaurant who has to put up with a MeanBoss and is only encountered as a shopkeeper. '''II''' sees him assume Undyne's role, renaming himself Boomstick and taking control of Waterfall as the leader of a gang of GreaserDelinquents.

Added DiffLines:

* FromNobodyToNightmare: Downplayed. In ''Undertale'', Burgerpants worked as a cashier for the MTT Resort's fast-food restaurant despite wanting to be an actor and had to content with [[ButtMonkey various misfortunes inflicted upon him]] since he started working there, many of them because his boss Mettaton [[BosssUnfavoriteEmployee seemingly only hated him among the rest of his workforce]]. Since Mettaton is the only monster who Frisk killed in ''Aftergore II'', however, Burgerpants is able to leave his lousy job and reinvent himself. The result is him renaming himself "Boomstick" and leading a gang of GreaserDelinquents in taking over Waterfall, causing the rest of the Underground's residents to avoid the area.

* AdaptationalBadass: Politics Bear, of all characters, serves as the character who takes on Asgore's role in ''VIII''. Keep in mind that he's a minor gag character in ''Undertale'' who has no importance whatsoever.

* TheChainsOfCommand: Papyrus in ''VI''. It's even in the name of his pre-fight theme, ''The Pressure Of Prestige''.

to:

* TheChainsOfCommand: Papyrus is dealing with a lot of pressure as ruler of the Underground in ''VI''. It's ''VI'', even in though [[PuppetKing Flowey and Sans are doing most of the name of heavy lifting]]. Sans and Flowey are fighting each other for power behind his back, the Underground was heavily depopulated right before he took over, the monsters who are left don't respect his policies, Sans is implied to be doing poorly because he's the one ''actually'' running the kingdom for him, and Flowey's barely bothering to hide his sociopathy anymore. Even the title of Papyrus' pre-fight theme, ''The "The Pressure Of Prestige''.of Prestige", reflects how he's being worn down by power.



* GreaterScopeVillain: Though not evil in all of the [=AUs=], Frisk's actions during their trek through Ebott are responsible for the Underground's current status.
** Averted for ''CDIV'', where the Player instead has this role, having manipulated ''Undertale'''s files so that [[spoiler: Toriel]] is both dead and alive at the same time.
