Horror Sans (2024)

Horror Sans is a much darker and insane version of Sans, created by Tumblr user Sour-Apple-Studios.

In this AU, Sans appears as a MajorAntagonist/Protagonist ofHorrortaleAfter Frisk did a Neutral Route,Undynebecame the ruler of the underground. The stressbecame worse when the core shuts down, resulting in the air being toxic and the food source completely ran out, resulting in the monsters to slowly lose their mind andsanity.

Sans andPapyrusgave out rations to the needy and trying to keep the morale as high as possible despite the circ*mstances.Undyneeventually lost her mind due to the stress andAlphysrevealed Sans' unique power to be a chance to bring the COREback, reaches to the point where Undyne attacks Sans (almost killing him) and stealing his power and a

his sanity. Where a crack on his skull and a blood red left eye with the right eyecompletely gone is the new face of the now insane skeleton who poses a new rule. He claims that Undyne made this rule where humans won't be harvested for souls, but food.

Appearance[]

Horror Sans doesn't change much when it comes toattire. Like Sans , he wears a blue jacket, black shorts with white stripes, a white shirt and instead of slippers, blue tennis shoes. His shirt also appears to be stained with blood, as shown in SAS's mini-comic "Service" However, his jacket is a different tone of blue and the hood now has fur.

His physical appearance is what really makes him stand out. Unlike his Original counterpart, He still wears the same clothing, but it is dirtier from the blood. His bones are weak since he hadn't eaten anything for many years. His eye always glows blood red. He's got a big cracked hole in his head. Sometimes he's portrayed carrying a big axe, but in the original comic Sans isn't seen carrying any weapon (Expect one mini-comic, where is Sans seen carrying a bear trap).

His smiley grin has widened and became more psychotic after his cranium got broken (which might be due his psychosis or because he is in pain)

Personality[]

Before his cracked skull and insane demeanor, Sans used to be a cheerful skeleton with a welcoming and intelligent yet hilariously lazy attitude for all showing that a few puns could bring upon a smile or two.

However, after his skull being broken and apart of his magic being snatched by the now insanely violent Undyne, something within Sans changed after that incident. Sans claimed a new rule created where humans who fall down are to be consumed for survival. After this Sans was no longer the joyful skeleton he was once. Despite the rule Sans never eats anything, especially humans, for 7 years which gnawed all the kindness out of him, along with all of the sanity thrown on his brother who fell for his trick to eating a piece of flesh in a spaghetti meal in order to save him from starvation and convince to not go on a hunger strike.

After many years of hunger Sans is seemingly bored of everything, but it has damaged his psychological state severely, he now enjoys psychological humor and enjoying every bit of Aliza's screams. Whether it be Papyrus's puzzles or the hungry people of Snowdin or even himself torturing her, he has no sense of morale of care for any right or wrong his jokes have changed from annoying yet funny to dark, insane and sad*stic reflecting his attitude.

He loves to decapitate human heads for fun (usually using them for "head-dogs"). Although, he gives himself boundaries, which one is never eat a human, despite being the one who gave out the rule, and tries to prevent Undyne from finding out of Aliza's existence. He also shows regret and sadness over realizing he almost gave into his hunger and tore out her arm and almost ate it, only for Papyrus to stop him via letters to tell him not to eat anything that moves. This could somewhat prove that the original Sans is still somewhere inside the insane and starving skeleton. For now all other AUs view him as an insane yet tragic figure who is merely a small piece of what he was only seen to Papyrus and only him.

Abilities[]

Physical Strength- Horror!Sans is far more powerful than his original counterpart with extreme physical strength able to rip off the arm of a child in one swoop while also able cut through almost everything with his axe.

Bones- while Horror!Sans still retains his bones they appear sharp with blood stains on them however the main unique ability is its extreme durability able to withstand a gaster blaster with no scratch and is able to insta-kill anyone from below making it very dangerous from close range combat

Weaponry- Horror!Sans has several weapons along with him, his most favourite being an axe or a cleaver these weapons tend to help Horror a lot in situations.

Semi Immortality- In many AUs, Horror is depicted having some form of immortality, claiming he cant be killed since he isn't alive. While this isn't proven many AUs depict him being extremely difficult to kill, requiring complete obliteration to truly kill him. This doesn't mean he is omnipotent destroying but this means that if a body of his (no matter how small) survives, he is still alive though this hasn't been proven or shown

Gaster Blasters- while no one has seen Horror!Sans use gaster blasters, it's speculated he might have although we don't know what it looks like.

Osteokinesis- The ability to manipulate/maneuver bones ( including bones in the body) allowing sans (horror) to just rip them out of you

Past Life[]

Around one month after the Core

malfunctioned,SansandPapyruswould give their food away to ones in need, while Sans would convince his friends that support and jokes is enough to keep their spirits moving in the right direction. One day, some of the dog monsters left to go to the Core for a meeting and asked Sans if he would want to come along before they left Grillby's. Sans turned down the offer and decided to eat. Suddenly,Grillbysmashed his food, screamed from pain, as the clean magic of air that created the fire of his very existence was now gone, and begged Sans for help. Scared, Sans ran out of the restaurant and decided to join the dogs to the Core.

Sans later arrived to meetUndyneand Papyrus, apologizing for being late and handed her blueprints of the Core's interior. Undyne was left impressed by his work and thanked him. As a response, Sans said, "What are friends for?", leaving Undyne to go and reconcile for lashing out at Alphys a month ago. As they hugged, Sans and Papyrus decided to go home and eat some food. As Sans turned around to say goodbye, he noticedAlphysstaring at him, very intense and crazed, making Sans somewhat intense.

Three months had passed and the Core was nowhere near being fixed. Sans was walking around Waterfall at the time and heard a conversation of Undyne and Alphys were having at another location through an Echo Flower. He was left horrified from Undyne's consideration of suicide, Alphys mentioning that food was running low, the thoughts of monsters wanting to eat one another, and most importantly, Alphys suggesting that they use what ever kind of powerful magic Sans had in him to power the Core. Not wanting any of this to happen, Sans spent weeks in the shed, conducting plans of engineering and science.

Papyrus attempted to reach out to him, but he was not interested. Upset, Papyrus began to leave for the Core. Thinking of the horrible stuff that Undyne could possibly do to his brother, Sans offered to go in his place. As he almost left town, theNot-Mayor Bearcaught up to him and expressed his concerns for him. Sans shook them off and told his friend that he was fine, but was really hiding his true feelings. The Bear then walked him to the end of town and packed him a pear for the road.

A while later, Sans noticed a kid crying from starvation. Sans offered his pear to the kid, but was left in shock from how disfigured their face was, as they were dusting. Once the kid had dissolved completely, one of Undyne's guards appeared and walked him to the lab, telling Sans how noble he's been for giving his food away, but also worrying about his state. They then arrived at the lab, with the guard shutting the door behind him, leaving Sans in the dark and creepy lab.

Sans walked through the halls of the lab, pretty jumpy about how dark it was. As he began to brush his worries aside, he heard screaming, with his reaction being creating many numbers of bones down one of the halls. Once he started to calm down, he instantly screamed and jumped when a goat mother (possibly Toriel) was creepily smiling right next him after the loss of her child. Blaming her daughter's death on Undyne, she stated to Sans that she was starting a revolution against thequeen. Before she left, she offered Sans a place in her uprising.

A while later, Sans met up with Undyne in front of the Core. Undyne, not wanting to sacrifice her friend and being afraid that his presence may make her consider it, asked Sans to leave. Sans did not, however, and said that he had an idea to fix the core. He devised that they destroy the only power cell inside it and rebuild it. As he began to leave, Undyne yelled at Sans for being useless, as she thought his plan was stupid. Hearing this, Sans immediately grew angry that he was giving away his food, convincing his friends not to end it, and staying up day and night trying to fix the core himself, only to be called useless.

After a long argument, Sans apologized for his outburst and offered Undyne to have some food at his house. Undyne, finally losing it with no other options, had her guards pin down Sans and explained to him everything Alphys had told her about him. She gripped a mechanical claw in her hand and held it close to his face in means of extracting his "Bad Time Eye". Pissed, Sans breaks free and fights back with his magic, confirming to Undyne that Alphys was right. As he tries to teleport away, Undyne holds him still with Green Magic and throws arrows at him. Sans's reflexes prove to be far to fast for her to hit him and explains that she should quit. Alphys, however, speaks through the speakers and tells Undyne that she should wear him out. Before she could say anything else, Sans destroys the speaker.

Undyne attempts to wrap up the fight by throwing one giant spear at him. Before it could touch him, Sans uses his magic to repel the spear and hit the right side of Undyne's face, thus preventing her from turning into Undyne the Undying and causing her to release Sans from the magic grip from the pain. However, reflecting the spear took a lot of magic and energy, resulting in Sans collapsing from exhaustion. Seeing her chance, Undyne grabs him and holds him up. Sans attempts one last time to convince her there were more ways to fix the core, but this falls on deaf ears as his eye is removed from his head. This results a giant hole in the side of Sans' head and bleeding out, but not turning to dust. As Undyne leaves, the guards prepare to bury him, but Sans is still very much "alive" and he kills one of the guards, taking his eye and shoving it into his own socket. In the process, the blood that was pouring from his injury turns the eye red.

He then chases one of the guards to the core where he warns Undyne that Sans wasn't exactly dead. He killed the guard, then attacked everyone in the room with bones, harming them with his Karma effect. He quickly leaves, to go confront Alphys, as this was her idea from the beginning.

Sans knocks on the door to her lab. Knowing who it was,Alphysrefuses to let him in, only for the wall to be destroyed by him. Alphys cowers, saying there was an explanation for their attempted murder. Sans does not want to hear it and then prepares to rip out her jaw. Alphys quickly presses a button, turning on a machine that was powered by his eye. Recognizing the blue glow as his magic, Sans began to hear reason from what Alphys had to say, while saying Sans had every right to be mad and kill her. She explains that his idea about the "Core's core" was too big of a risk, and that while this wasn't justified, Alphys tells him that monsters had him to thank for this. Sans remained silent, seemingly beginning to understand her actions. However, Alphys went too far by saying that while she was sorry for her convincing of Undyne to kill him, she expresses that she doesn't regret her choices and that she did the right thing. This seems to trigger Sans, as he turns towards her with a creepy smile. He then proceeds to impale Alphys' head into many sharp bones sticking out of the wall anddamage the Core with many bones, thus rendering the Underground without power once more. He then leaves to avoidUndyne'swrath.

Relationships/Character Mentions[]

HorrorTale Toriel:[]

Horror appears to be friends with Toriel, communicating with her from behind the door. Though in thePlayable Teaser,he claims that he hasn't checked up on her lately. It seems like they are still in contact. He was the one who told her how terrible the world outside the Ruins is at the moment, which seriously damaged her sanity. He also tried to prevent Aliza from escaping the Ruins.

HorrorTale Papyrus:[]

His relationship with Papyrus hasn't changed, they're still very close. But he questions how much time and effort should be put into his brother's puzzles. Yes, they have an interesting spin of bloody murder but they're not original. Sans convinced him to eat the humans, so he won't die from starvation. He also seems to argue with Papyrus at times, and rather in a not so relaxed way. Such as when Papyrus argued with him when he misheard freebies as frisbees, Sans talked back to him in a not so nice tone, rather than admitting he was wrong in a sly way and letting it slide, even saying, "Forget about the G******n Frisbees!"

The Player/Aliza:[]

Horror doesn't care much for the player/Aliza. To him, she's just another human that's about to meet their doom. When asking him about "Home" he replies with"Aw, gotta family waiting for ya? Nice parents? Friends? That's cute. But I doubt it. You look pretty miserable for a well-loved baby human."He then proceeds to insult Aliza and explain how things down in the Underground are worse. His gore puns make Aliza really uncomfortable. Beyond this, Sans tried his best to resist the urge to eat an half-cooked Aliza, and he also teleported her from death, so he might care.

HorrorTale Undyne:[]

Horror hates the Underground's new ruler, Undyne or "Queen Undick" is what he calls her. He also mentioned that Undyne isbetter off dead.This all started when he was brought in to her for assistance for fixing the core. Already being experienced with science and mechanics in the past, RICK devises a plan on taking the COREapart on the outside and changing the inside. Undyne did not find this useful and lashes out on him for having the weight of their people being on her shoulders and for claiming that Sans wasn't doing anything.

This angers Sans, as he has been staying up day and night trying to end this nightmare, while also convincing his friends not to commit suicide. A while later, their argument ends and Sans apologizes for yelling, as he hasn't eaten in some time. Undyne, going crazy and remembering whatAlphysinformed her of the former earlier, had two royal guards pin down Sans, however, Sans fights back, revealing his powerful magic to be true. As the fight goes on, Sans inflicts serious damage on the right side of Undyne's face, before finally running out of energy.

Undyne then extracts his "bad time" eye, and during the extraction, Sans' skull cracks and bleeds out. However, he is still alive and kills one of the guards that forced him down. He proceeds to rip his eye out and place it into his own socket, the blood pouring from his head then covers the eye, turning it red.

HorrorTale Gaster:[]

After asking about Alphys, you can ask about Gaster (It's hidden under the "..." text.) Horror!Sans will tense up, flash an unsettling smile and then bones will impale Aliza. Papyrus responds with a"SANS! NOT AGAIN!"and then the death screen appears with Flowey saying,"That's a touchy subject down here."

Murder Sans:[]

Being a member of the Murder Time Trio, Dust is the supposed leader, though currently they have a very low key relationship, though they also often make puns to each other or sometimes argue over who is the true psycho among them alongside killer. (Not canon to Horrortale A.T)

Killer[]

Being a partner to him in the Murder Time Trio, Killer and Horror don't have a strong relationship ,albeit often insulting each other and competing. (Not canon to Horrortale A.T)
