Snowdrake

Snowdrake (also known as Snowy) is a monster and unique enemy that is encountered in Snowdin Forest, right after the first encounter with Sans and Papyrus at the start of Section 3 - Hell's Forest, attacking the Delta Warriors. He will start the battle in the Hostile state.

If he is spared, he will appear as an NPC in the same room.

Attacks

• Various crescent-shaped projectiles will come out from the Bullet Board's walls, flying in straight lines.
• Various lines composed of 8 crescent-shaped projectiles will appear from one of the Bullet Board's walls and fly towards the SOUL, constantly tracking it and speeding up while getting in close proximity; after passing by, they will make a wide "U" turn to begin another assault. Up to 3 lines can appear at the same time, each one taking 3 seconds to spawn after the previous one.

Mercy

Snowdrake can be spared after filling his MERCY bar to 100% full, lowering his HP low enough or using Sleep Mist when he's TIRED. Lowering his HP to around 25% will also remove his Hostile state.

When using IceShock onto Snowdrake, it will silently increase his MERCY bar by 50%, as well as removing his Hostile state on the second cast. This is the fastest way to spare him.

The following ACTs and their effects are:

• Heckle will remove Snowdrake's Hostile state if used after one of his aggressive puns, while it will make him TIRED if used when he's not Hostile. It requires Susie's turn.
• Laugh will increase Snowdrake's MERCY bar by 100%, and it will spare him if used a second time. It has no effect when Snowdrake is Hostile. It requires Susie and Noelle's turns.
• Joke will increase Snowdrake's MERCY bar by 20%. It has no effect when Snowdrake is Hostile.
• N-Action will increase Snowdrake's MERCY bar by 30% It has no effect when Snowdrake is Hostile.
  • S-Action has no effects besides different flavor texts depending if it's used while Snowdrake is Hostile or not.

Strategy

Like most enemies in Section 3, Snowdrake in battle will start as Hostile, which will make him unable to have his MERCY bar filled by using ACTs until said state is removed. The most efficient way to do is by selecting Heckle after one of his various aggressive puns, then Laugh to make him sparable. You must wait a turn first before using Heckle.

Alternatively, Snowdrake has an unique interaction with Noelle's IceShock, taking drastically reduced damaged by it, but silently increasing his MERCY bar by 50%, as well as removing his Hostile state on the second cast; this can allow you to spare Snowdrake in just 2 turns, casting IceShock in the first one, then again on the second while sparing with either Kris or Susie.

If a party member is down and you can't get them up with items or spells, you'll have to resort to using N-Action, IceShock, the Joke ACT, or damaging him enough until he's sparable, depending on who's still standing and how much progress you've made in the battle already.

Trivia

• The same Snowdrake appears as one of the students at the school in Deltarune. This is why the Delta Warriors recognize the Snowdrake from GG!Underfell, only the Snowdrake in Section 3 is not the same Snowdrake in Deltarune.
• The Snowdrake NPC that appears after sparing Snowdrake will always mention that Susie said "the Snowy I know", even if he was spared with a method that doesn't require the Heckle ACT.
• Chilldrake is a very similar enemy to Snowdrake. The only differences between them are the ACTs, quotes, and flavor text.
  • The ACTs, while named differently, are carried out in the same order as well.
• Snowdrake is actually part of multiple enemy encounters in Section 3. However, Chilldrake replaces Snowdrake in all battles once Snowdrake has been battled once, meaning that in normal gameplay, Snowdrake only appears as a solo encounter.
