*** [[ContrastingSequelMainCharacter In contrast to Frisk]], who is occasionally depicted in the fandom as female when not portrayed as gender neutral, Kris is often depicted as male when they're not referred in gender-neutral pronouns. While this may be due to their knight outfit in the dark world (which is considered more masculine than, let's say, Ralsei's wizard dress) or the fact they share a room with their brother Asriel, this interpretation has been enforced since players discovered the Weird Route where they abuse Noelle in surreal and [[RealismInducedHorror disturbingly realistic ways]], making the audience think about [[AllAbusersAreMale the most common depiction of abusers]].

** Fans believe that the reason why Spamton is so short compared to the Addisons is that he was dunked in Queen's acid pool, coming from Spamton's shop dialogue and Queen's claim that the acid pool can shrink people. He's sometimes portrayed as the same size as the Addisons before his StartOfDarkness. His PuppetPermutation is also sometimes explained as his skin being burned off by the acid, revealing a puppet-like skeleton. Spamton Sweepstakes would later joss the acid theory, revealing he was always as short as he is now, but that he did likely physically change in some other way during his time as a big shot.
