Identity & OriginsThese creatures are the Horrortale version of the "Temmie" species from Undertale. In the Horrortale timeline, which takes place years after a neutral run where the Underground has fallen into despair and starvation, the Temmies have devolved from quirky, oblivious shopkeepers into feral, starving predators residing in the Waterfall region. [1] (https://horrortale.fandom.com/wiki/Temmies)Physical AppearanceColoration: Unlike the original white-furred Temmies, Horrortale Temmies have a sickly teal-blue complexion, likely due to sickness, poor hygiene, or the dim lighting of their environment. [1] (https://horrortale.fandom.com/wiki/Temmies)Eyes: Their most striking feature is their bloodshot, dilated red eyes with tiny pupils, giving them a manic and crazed expression. Some depictions show them with dark bags under their eyes, emphasizing their exhaustion. [1] (https://horrortale.fandom.com/wiki/Temmies)Hair: Their black (or very dark purple) hair is unkempt, messy, and matted, unlike the neat gray bob cut of the original Temmie. [1] (https://horrortale.fandom.com/wiki/Temmies)Mouth: They possess sharp, jagged teeth and often bear a wide, unsettling grin that implies hunger rather than friendliness. [1] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMm76KB9of4)Clothing: They wear the standard blue striped shirt, but it is often tattered or dirty.Behavior & PersonalityStarvation & Cannibalism: Driven by the severe famine in the Underground (caused by the Core's shutdown), the Temmies have become desperate scavengers. They are known to be cannibalistic, willing to eat their own kind if they are weak or injured.Relationship with Humans: While they still find humans "cute," their definition of affection has twisted into appetite. They view the protagonist (Aliza) as both "cute" and "tasty," often stalking her with the intent to devour her.Speech: They still speak in their signature broken English (e.g., "hOI!"), but in this context, it comes across as eerie and deranged rather than cute. [1] (https://horrortale.fandom.com/wiki/Temmies)Role in HorrortaleThey serve as a tragic example of how the friendly monsters of the Underground have been corrupted by survival instincts. They usually ambush the player in the dark, damp corridors of Waterfall, using their numbers to overwhelm prey. 🧠 The Crazed Mindset of Horrortale TemmiesPrimal & Instinct-Driven: Driven entirely by extreme famine and desperation, their higher cognitive reasoning has mostly withered away. They operate on basic survival and predatory instincts.Twisted Affection: They maintain a small remnant of their original, innocent love for humans, but it has mutated horribly. When they look at the protagonist, Aliza, they genuinely think she is "cute"—but they simultaneously think she looks "tasty." To them, consuming someone is the ultimate form of affection.Deranged Friendliness: They are not necessarily filled with malicious, calculated evil like Flowey; instead, they display a manic, unhinged cheerfulness. They will greet you with a wide grin and their signature broken speech ("hOI!"), completely oblivious to how terrifying and lethal they actually are.Opportunistic & Ruthless: They have completely lost any sense of community or loyalty. If one Temmie is injured, weakened, or dies, the others will immediately turn on them. Their personality is fiercely cannibalistic, viewing their own species as nothing more than an emergency meal.Easily Agitated: While they can appear slow or spaced-out at first glance, they can snap into a hyper-aggressive, feral state the moment they smell food or sense weakness. Sickly Teal Skin: Unlike the bright white fur of original Temmies, their skin and fur have turned a pale, sickly teal-blue. This represents the damp, decaying environment of Waterfall and their severe malnutrition.Matted, Unkempt Hair: Their hair is dark purple or black, but instead of a clean bob cut, it is ragged, choppy, and matted. It hangs loosely around their faces in sharp, uneven tufts.Bloodshot Red Eyes: Their most defining feature is their large, round, bloodshot eyes with bright red sclera. Their pupils are incredibly tiny, giving them a permanently dilated, crazed, and manic expression. Dark, heavy bags often shadow the areas beneath their eyes from sleep deprivation.Feral Fangs: When their mouths open, they reveal sharp, jagged fangs rather than flat teeth, highlighting their regression into predatory carnivores.Cat and Dog Features: They retain their signature animal biology—having both a set of pointed cat ears on top of their head and floppy dog ears on the sides of their face—though these features often look limp or twitch erratically. Tattered Sweaters: They still wear their signature striped turtle-neck sweaters, but the fabric is faded, stretched, and stained. In many fan interpretations and comic panels, the clothing is torn, dirty from the mud of Waterfall, or lightly stained with blood from past meals. Location: The shop is still hidden within Temmie Village in Waterfall, but the village itself is usually depicted as dilapidated, dark, and ominous. The cheery, bright colors of Undertale are replaced by gloomy shadows and signs of decay)The Shopkeeper: The Shopkeeper Temmie retains the same basic design as the others (teal skin, red eyes, matted hair) there extrmely gorey and hungry. If player feeds them.
