Added DiffLines:

* RuleOfSymbolism: Towards the end of the game, various monsters will tell you the story of the King and Queen's children and their tragic fate. The story is told by monsters of many species, all speaking in the same syntax regardless of how they normally talk (like Froggits only ribbiting, or Aaron following everything up with a flirty ;) emoticon), some of the monsters are somewhat misplaced, and in some cases a few individual monsters appear with duplicates of themselves like Shyren and Snowdrake. Implicitly, it's not the actual monsters that appear, but monsterkind as a whole telling you the story.

** The game is notable for nearly ''every'' boss's [[EnemyScan CHECK]] stats being an outright lie — both [[spoiler:Toriel and Asgore]] are reported as having 80/80 ATK/DEF, but the data shows their stats to actually be 6/1 and 10/-30 respectively (yes, that ''is'' a negative sign). This has lead to all kinds of FanWank about the characters in question being WillfullyWeak.

* StatusLine: There are two status lines, one at the top of the screen and one at the bottom. The former features Frisk's inventory and money, while the latter displays Frisk's HP bar and his/her CharacterPortrait.

Added DiffLines:

* SeasonalBaggage: The four main regions are each loosely themed after the seasons. The Ruins are autumn, as there are red leaves all around and it's the first place the player character sees after a literal ''fall''; Snowdin is winter, a snowy forest with Christmas references; Waterfall is spring, being a literal spring and having flowers play a part in the area's geography; and Hotland is summer, a hot region where you find that the schools are on summer vacation.

* {{Permafusion}}: [[spoiler:The Amalgamates are the result of a botched experiment that attempted to implant Monsters with Determination; this caused the monsters to literally ''melt'' together into monstrosities that are one of the few creatures in the underground that the player ''cannot'' kill in any way, shape or form; trying to hurt them only causes their lifebars to ''grow'' (With the exception of Snowdrake's Mother whose lifebar can be depleted when hurting her but her lifebar is completely restored in the next turn. While she "can" be killed in one hit with certain glitches or hacks, she does not give EXP).]]

Added DiffLines:

* SoulSuckingRetailJob: MTT-Brand Burger Emporium, even down to the mandatory slogans. Management is incompetent in several respects and downright ''sadist'' in others, alternatingly micromanaging and operating entirely on whims. The leitmotif is the same pitched-down version of "Shop" you'd hear in other stores during a No Mercy run, no matter which end you go for.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: If you kill Papyrus in a Neutral run, Undyne will realize that you did something to him because he didn't show up at a meeting. By her own admission, despite how much of a goofball Papyrus is, he has never, ever, missed a meeting.

* ViolenceIsTheOnlyOption: For a game that promotes pacifism and nonlethal resolutions, [[spoiler:your first fight against Asgore makes it clear that you have to take him down the hard way. If you've been playing pacifist up until now, prepare to get schooled, [[ViolenceIsNotAnOption since you're never really allowed any chance to practice how to fight beforehand without it changing your run to Neutral]]]].

** Undyne is the captain of the Royal Guard, and she's as tough as she looks. In fact, the only way to actually beat her non-lethally is by running from her, since there's no way to spare her by ACTing. [[spoiler: She REALLY shows this on the Genocide Route when she transforms into Undyne the Undying]].
** Completely defied with [[spoiler: Sans, who, despite his laziness and general slacking off while on duty, absoultely ''will'' kick your ass when you fight him at the end of the Genocide Route. ]]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Flowey ''loves'' these. Pretty much every single time he's on screen, he's mocking and/or gloating over the player, usually to rub in how much power he has over them rather than the other way around.
** [[spoiler: The Genocide Route's final boss fight is one giant one directed at the player, with Sans spending the entirety of the fight mocking and belittling the player and constantly reminding them of how much of a horrible person they are.]]

** After the January 2016 patch, Temmie no longer has ATK and DEF listed, instead reading "[[JustForPun RATED TEM OUTTA TEM]]". On a related note, Mad Dummy's stats also include "[[MathematiciansAnswer DEF: YES]]"
