White monster

From Deltarune Wiki

The white monster[note 1] is an unnamed enemy in the Original Game played during the Sword Route of Chapter 3 of Deltarune. It appears in the Ice Palace and the manhole dungeon.

Profile

Appearance

The white monster mirrors the appearance of the other monsters from The Legend of Tenna and the Original Game, having a stocky build with two horns, reminiscent of Asgore. However, its body is white, and it has red eyes.

Main story

Ice Palace

One white monster appears in the room with the text "THE FORBIDDEN PATH BEGAN WITH ICE MAGIC", which is the room to the right of the room with the four yellow monsters.

Manhole dungeon

30 white monsters appear in the room to the right of the room with the 8 silent cats.

Gameplay information

Behavior

The white monster in the Ice Palace behaves identically to purple monsters, wandering around the room and not directly engaging HERO_SWORD. Making contact deals 1 damage to HERO_SWORD.

The white monsters in the Manhole dungeon are stationary and do not move or attack.

Strategy

The white monsters in the manhole dungeon do not move, but can still harm HERO_SWORD is touched. As they are virtually harmless yet still drop candy, it is reasonable to conserve them for these pickups whilst going through the spear boss and silver fish rooms.

Allusions

  • The location of the white monster room in the manhole dungeon may correspond with the blocks of flats in Hometown, explaining the significant monster population compared to other areas in the Original Game.

Trivia

  • The white monster is the default sprite for all monster type enemies before their palettes are applied with image_blend, except for the black monster and purple monster, whose sprites are called specifically.[1]
