* NoodleIncident: Seems that whatever caused the huge kitchen fire was due to Undyne's attempt at cooking spaghetti with her "passion" which [[TelepathicSprinklers triggered the entire house's sprinkler system that flooded the place]] and soaked Frisk in a torrent of water when the door burst open from the pressure.

* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Alphys and Sans secretly built an illegal lab in the basement of Toriel's house which the former uses to research a cure for the Amalgamates, complete with [[LaserHallway blue lasers]] and [[SpikesOfDoom spikes]] protecting the elevator that leads to it. Though, with Frisk having experienced all the BulletHell fights in the Underground, she has no problem going into the lab even when the security measures are not turned off. Temmie apparently also left a newer suit of Temmie Armor there in the lab.

[[http://anomalouscomic.tumblr.com/index The Anomaly]] (formerly named The Ambassador, but was later changed due to it being a NonindicativeName) is an ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' fan-sequel by [[http://coffeelemental.tumblr.com/ [=Coffeelemental=]]].

Set 12 years after the true pacifist ending, the comic follows Frisk using her personal control of the timeline to ensure monsters have a peaceful return to the surface world. For the most part, monster integration into human society has gone well, but some places won’t let monsters co-exist with humans. Frisk and Papyrus stopped serving as the monster ambassadors several years ago after growing overwhelmed, so instead Asgore steps up and tries to run for president of the United States in order to help better unify the two races. In the meanwhile, the world’s magic reserves appear to be thinning, but nobody can figure out why. Instead of involving herself with politics, Frisk decided to take a more hands-on approach to keeping the peace, and has somehow convinced Sans to help her do so for the past 10 years. By loading to an earlier save point whenever an incident between monsters and humans happens, Frisk and Sans manage to de-escalate the situation, help build understanding and bridge the gap between the divide of the two races. Their attempts have been successful throughout the years, resulting in no casualties on either side after correcting the timeline. However, it seems that her actions have attracted the attention of the very individuals who trapped the monsters in Mount Ebott, who are now determined to get rid of her...

The comic is currently ongoing and can be viewed on Website/{{Tumblr}} [[http://anomalouscomic.tumblr.com/index [=here=]]] or on Website/{{DeviantArt}} [[https://coffeelemental.deviantart.com/gallery/61001773/The-Anomaly-Chronological [=here=]]]. The comic is also unique in that it has playable sections in the form of RPG-esque minigames to tell the story in certain parts.
