"Howdy! I'm FLOWEY! FLOWEY the FLOWER!"Flowey's first words to the is the first character encountered in "Undertale
". He provides an introduction to the mechanics of encounters
by "sharing friendliness pellets", which are actually harmful bullets. He attempts to mislead the protagonist by urging them to take a violent approach throughout their journey in the Underground
.

Flowey usually takes on the appearance of a sentient, grinning, golden flower
, with a white androecium, six yellow petals, and a green stem. Flowey can contort his face dramatically into a variety of different expressions, sometimes even mimicking the faces and voices of other characters (such as Toriel
and Asgore
in some situations).Personality
I wonder... What happens when something without a SOUL gains the will to live
?Entry Number 8, Alphys
, True Lab
Initially, Flowey operates under a facade of friendliness and politeness. He has a habit of greeting the protagonist with "Howdy!", calling himself "your best friend," and, like his father
, appending polite words such as "gosh" and "golly" to the ends of his sentences. Whenever he drops this guise of friendliness, he also has a habit of calling the protagonist an "idiot." His central philosophy is that "In this world, it's kill or be killed."
As shown throughout the game, Flowey has a malevolent and cruel disposition, regularly berating a pacifist protagonist for ignoring his kill-or-be-killed advice and talking about his desire to destroy the world. He is a cunning planner and subtle if the circumstances require it, even manipulating the protagonist into bringing him as many monster SOULs
as they can find in the Neutral ending. He is notably able to retain his memories between SAVEs
(having once had the ability to do so himself.) He also possesses a disturbing sense of humor, as shown in his boss fight, in which he turns into "Photoshop Flowey", or "Omega Flowey" as dubbed by fans.Main Story
Flowey first appears at the start of the game and provides a tutorial of sorts. He urges the protagonist to run into his "friendliness pellets." However, if the protagonist runs into these "pellets," which are actually bullets, Flowey announces his "kill or be killed" attitude to the protagonist. Alternatively, the protagonist can dodge his bullets up to three times, which causes his act to slip gradually until he hypocritically snaps at the protagonist for toying with him. Either way, Flowey will then proceed to surround the protagonist in an inescapable ring of bullets which close in on the protagonist. However, this attack is prevented by the timely arrival of Toriel

Exit
At the exit to the Ruins, Flowey reappears to judge the protagonist's actions up to that point.
* If the protagonist spared Toriel, Flowey calls them "clever", but reminds them that they only spared a single person's life:
* If the protagonist has killed any other monster, he lists the names of every killable monster in the Ruins and points out that every one of them may have had families and loved ones, regardless of which enemy types the protagonist has killed or how many they have killed. He calls the protagonist a selfish brat and says: "Somebody is dead because of you."
* If the protagonist did not kill anybody and had never killed Toriel, Flowey speculates that if they meet a "relentless killer," they will repeatedly be killed until they eventually give up. Flowey wonders if they will either kill out of frustration or quit the game entirely, leaving control over the world (through the ability to SAVE, though this is not stated) to Flowey. He tells the protagonist that he won't kill them, and instead will watch them struggle through the rest of the Underground.
* If the protagonist had killed Toriel at least once before, then reset or loaded the game to spare her, Flowey tells them not to get cocky and proceeds to taunt them by pointing out what they had done: "You murdered her. And then you went back, because you regretted it." He informs the protagonist he previously had the power to SAVE and reset, and that he played as the world's god before the protagonist's arrival superseded his (this is later accredited to the protagonist's Determination). He tells the protagonist that he will be watching them.
* If the protagonist killed Toriel:
* If the protagonist killed Toriel once and hadn't gotten past her before that point, Flowey mocks Toriel for trying to save the protagonist when she ultimately couldn't save herself.
* If the protagonist kills Toriel, reloads the game, and then kills her again, Flowey calls the protagonist a "disgusting animal" for not even trying to spare her.
* Repeated kills will have him question how many times the protagonist will continue to do this.
* If the protagonist had spared Toriel once before, then killed her, Flowey calls them "utterly repulsive." He remembers the protagonist had spared her life, then goes on to taunt them, saying they went back and murdered her just to see what would happen. He informs the protagonist he previously had the power to SAVE and reset, and that he played as the world's god before the protagonist's arrival superseded his. He tells the protagonist that he will be watching them.
* If the protagonist has met the requirements to begin the Genocide Route
, Flowey questions if they are actually human. He sees a kindred spirit inside them - Chara
. He tells them of his "wonderful idea" to become all powerful and destroy everything in the world together.
* If the protagonist skips Toriel fight via debug mode or a similar method, Flowey will simply say "error" every time the protagonist attempts to talk to him, as an outcome of the Toriel fight has not occurred.
* If the protagonist has killed him in a Neutral Route after their last True Reset , Flowey won't appear at all.Neutral Route
