Toriel is a major returning character from Undertale who plays a minor role in Undertale Yellow. She interrupts a battle between Clover and a Froggit at the beginning of the game and attempts to guide Clover through the Ruins before a cave-in separates the two.

Profile[edit | edit source]

Appearance[edit | edit source]

Biologically, Toriel remains unchanged from her appearance in Undertale. She is a Boss Monster resembling a white-furred Nubian Goat with droopy ears, short horns, visible fangs, and long eyelashes. Her outfit has been changed - she now wears a red scarf with a knot and her robe is now a different shade of purple. The robe is still emblazoned with the Delta Rune located near her chest.

Personality[edit | edit source]

Toriel's personality is unchanged; she is a caring mother figure that takes pleasure in guarding the Ruins and any fallen humans. However, she still maintains her stern personality, as is seen when she scares off a nearby Froggit.

Main Story[edit | edit source]

Before the events of the game, she was married to Asgore and had a child named Asriel, and later adopted the first human. After both their children died at the hands of humans and Asgore subsequently declared war on humanity, she abdicated her role as the Queen of the Underground and retreated to the Ruins, sealing one of the only doors leading to Snowdin. There, she tries to convince any fallen humans to not leave the Ruins and to live with her, in order to protect them from Asgore's plan to gather seven human SOULS to destroy the barrier and eradicate humanity.

Neutral Route[edit | edit source]

Toriel is the second monster Clover meets in the Underground, who saves them from an encounter with a Froggit. She guides them through the Ruins and educates them on a few puzzles. However, after a puzzle malfunctions, she and Clover are forcibly separated as the floor under Clover caves in, dropping them into the Dark Ruins – a previously unexplored layer of the Ruins with no other connection to the rest of the dungeon except for a sole exit out to Snowdin.

While she is not seen again for the rest of the route, Flowey reveals that if he had not intervened, Clover would be convinced to abandon their crusade and live out their days with Toriel. In earlier timelines, Flowey intervened by getting the two of them to fight so Clover would leave through the exit she guarded. In later timelines, he separated the two right away by sabotaging the lever puzzle.

True Pacifist Route[edit | edit source]

In the True Pacifist Ending, she is seen in the Ruins, walking by the tree and turning back to watch its last leaf had fall off, much to her sadness.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • If Clover waits 5 minutes at the starting room of the Dark Ruins,[2] Toriel tosses down a rope. Going up said rope restarts the game. This indicates that Flowey has loaded Clover's SAVE again, as suggested by his dialogue before the Neutral Route final boss battle.
