Dunebud is a monster encountered in the Dunes. Their scripted encounter is on the bridge above the Dimensional Box at the beginning of Dunes. They were first revealed in Undertale Yellow's launch trailer, using their Sandcastle attack against Clover.

Profile

Appearance

Dunebud's appearance resembles that of a really small dune with a patch of dirt on their head and a sapling sprouting from it.

Personality

Dunebud's speech patterns aren't very meaningful, but their flavor text describes them as very playful and eager to have fun.

Main Story

Their scripted encounter is in one of the first Dunes rooms, on a bridge crossing over a passage to a Dimensional Box.

Pacifist Route

After Starlo's battle, Dunebud can be found in the same room where they were encountered. Clover at first does not understand what is Dunebud trying to say, smiling and nodding in response. In the next two interactions, Clover thinks they may have understood Dunebud, only to be proven wrong in their fourth interaction.

In Battle

Appears With

• Another Dunebud

Attacks

• Sandcastle: Places a bucket in the Bullet Board and builds a sandcastle. The sandcastle shoots 9 arrows towards the SOUL.
• Tumbleweeds: A series of tumbleweeds move in the Bullet Box horizontally from one side to the other.
• Chase: Enters the Bullet Board and leaps at the SOUL vertically whenever it is above or below them. This continues a few times. If they are at low HP, they move slower during this attack and do not jump.

Strategy

Dunebud can be spared in two ways:

• Selecting the Jiggle ACT, and then the Pat ACT.
• Selecting the Shoo ACT twice, which makes it sink into the sand and end the battle.

During the Sandcastle attack, moving slowly from one side of the Bullet Board to the other can help to avoid all the arrows.
