However, Flowey appears and absorbs her soul along with that of all the other monsters in the Underground to gain the form of 'Asriel, the God of Hyper-Death'.

Near the end of the True Pacifist story route, Toriel arrives at 'New Home' (The Underground's capital) and stops Asgore and the player from fighting. When Asriel died, she gave up her crown due to her disgust at Asgore's decision to kill human children for their souls in order to break the 'Barrier' keeping the monsters trapped in the Underground. It is later revealed that Toriel was once Asgore's wife, and they had a son, Asriel. Doing this causes the game to go down a darker 'no mercy' (often called 'Genocide') route for as long as the player continues to kill all of the enemies they encounter. If she is killed upon killing 20 randomly-encountered enemies in the Ruins, she remarks that she wasn't protecting the player from the rest of the Underground, she was protecting the rest of the Underground by attempting to keep the player in the Ruins. If the player loads the game after battling Toriel to view an alternate outcome, Flowey appears and mocks the player for their actions, establishing the use of saved games as a plot element in Undertale. If Toriel is betrayed by killing her after she relents, however, she tells the player that she regrets having tried to raise the player. In fact, she must be spared many times in order to persuade her to allow the player to leave the Ruins. If the player chooses not to kill her, the battle is 'long and arduous' with little indication that the player's tactics are working until she relents. Having seen several human children die at the hands of Asgore Dreemurr, the king of the Underground, she fears for the player's safety and confronts them in battle. While she attempts to take care of the player, they become restless and attempt to leave the Ruins. Giving the player a phone with which to contact her, she leaves the player on their own to figure out the rest of the Ruins, after which they arrive at her house. She teaches the player the mechanics of the game, encouraging them to show mercy to enemies rather than attack them. The player meets Toriel shortly after they fall into the Underground, where she is seen as a motherly figure who desires to protect the player from its dangers. A version of the character also appears in Deltarune. The character has received attention from critics and fans for her personality as well as the atypical moral choice of her boss battle. The player can choose to kill her or convince her to stop fighting, which affects the way the story plays out. Literally 'hand-holding' the player through the opening sections of the game, the player must attempt to leave the area, upon which point they fight her.

A motherly figure created as an embodiment of excessive video game tutorials, she is a member of the monster race with hanging ears, small horns, white fur, and a purple robe.

Toriel is a fictional character and is the first area boss in the role-playing video game Undertale. Frisk (foster child, Undertale, True Pacifist run only).
