I quite like the thought of the orange soul building it. Seems like something a kid would do as they passed through such a snowy area.
Yea I agree specially a smol child.
*slow clap*
*Snow Clap* ^FTFY
***** *Snowcastic Clapping* Great job you "dont get the joke" ^FTFY
Are you saying what I think you are😱
Papyrus says 'Be nice to people made out of strange materials'
Why does he consider snow strange? His home is always surrounded by snow. He sees it everywhere.
***** My point is, he calls snow a strange material.
Well, then why should we consider it as snow? Maybe it's not actually made of snow.
German Eagle wow
Snow under the ground. That MUST be strange imo.
Blauer Medic Well, they must have had some kind of sun in the sky/roof, as that's whats required to make snow.
Nightmare looks like a messed up version of olaf
I THOUGH THAT TOO!!!!!!
Ture ture
Olaf hasn't been the same since the second movie
Oh gosh I legit thought you met count Olaf...
But what if... the snowman was made of DOG RESIDUE?!
(dun dun dun)
THE DOG MADE THE SNOWMAN
Cat Jay I Ate the snowman XD
_Dun Dun Dun_
*_You Hear Paws From a Smol Animal_*
TEM GOTTA GET DEM DOG RESIDUES
I've would've never thought the snowman would've had such a backstory!
EdwardFlash ikr?
Correction:
A snowman.

SwankyBox hi it's me😏
Kim,m
A giveaway, you say? Nice!
(Yeah, the voiceover could have sounded really "crappy", but it's great)!
SwankyBox. I would agree with this theory.
The UnderTale lore is so interesting. You never know what you might find out
It's one thing that is happening more often, leaving the community these clues and letting them theorize. It keeps games that only take 2 hours to beat last for years.
It’s Undertale
snowman - orange soul child vithout a soul, BOOM.
My theory is that the snowman was built by Asriel and Chara and some how. Charas determination flowed to that snowman. As we know so far they were best friends so the love spread to the snowman
... Its a snowman. Its alive because its likes a monster.
...why does everyone pretend to not understand me...
toby/whoever made him put him in the game just so the snowy areas can be more alive... im not going to say anything else
Makes sense
I hate your pic
@@pugsriel THanks man
Over time, while thinking about Gaster, I realized something that surprises me even now:
If you look in the game's files, you'll see that the EXP gained from killing him is negative. As in, the thing synonymous with evil and killing innocents is lost with killing Gaster. No matter who it is (excluding Asgore and Flowey), it's pure evil to kill. Yet apparently, killing Gaster would be a good thing to do. The other statistics he has are all 6's, too. Could this mean he's the Satan to the Annoying Dog's God? If so, then Gaster must have committed a heinous taboo, something so horrible, so unforgivable, that the dog tore his very essence apart, rending him across space and time, torturing him eternally as a specter that could only watch a world where he never existed.
Plz reply, Swanky.
Huh, wow. O_O
Maybe he caused he human monster war, and betrayed the monsters in the war.
Actually, killing Napstablook does make you lose one exp point so does that means killing ghosts is a good thing?
That's a very interesting angle on Gaster. Honestly, I never thought of it that way before. Great analysis!
*Eats snowman piece*
GOD DA- *Flips tables throws knife at screen and runs off*
Snippy xD same
Frisk: eats snowman piece on accident
Chara: OHHHHH YOU JUST BROKE HIS PROMISE
Frisk: (opens up reset screen)
Chara: wait what are you doing
Frisk: (hits true reset button)
Chara: WAIT NOOOO
XD
@@o.r2308 yes
when the snowman is being destroyed in the genocide run, it sure looks a lot like the melty way that things get with determination
Yeah that's true, and with a regular snowman if you were to take a piece off in the wrong area, the whole thing would just collapse
3:53. those snowmen are having a party. lol
Unwanted Jeans ohmai-
What kind of party?
Damn
Well we learned that you need a human soul and a monster soul to cross the barrier. It made sense that the snowman piece had determination due to it not melting so it was created by someone and was given DT. The snowman gives you part of his soul to cross the barrier; which is why it gives you the extra bonus of hey you made a snowman very happy. It means you actually crossed back out of the Barrier and into the human world.
Yeah... If the snowman piece has a soul, maybe Frisk made it through the barrier in the neutral ending!
Oh? Undertale?
*Checks upload date*
*Deep, sad sigh.*
?
he means undertale has been out for a year, most people pretty much lost interest
tangy turtle2 Yep, i loved Undertale. But now i lost 50% Hope.
I think you guys are speaking for yourself, their are still people interested in Undertale.
Cesar Melendez true so...
my best friend who didn't like undertale at all only got into it about a month ago after she played it on my PC
"Nightmare" also seems to have Icy's face, just distorted.
I never saw that snoman in one of my Genocide Runs.
Самуил Водопьянов - Sam Vodopianoff Yeah cuz you KILLED EVERYBODY AND PAPYRUS COULDN'T BUILD IT
DiegoTheMostDankMeme EverInTheWorld NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo Why did TOBY DO this too us?
You do see the snowman in the geno run. You just missed it.
I think it's just in your stomach.
Frisk and Chara had the power to reset, but clearly the other humans didn't. Maybe each soul had their own individual power.
Maybe the Orange soul had the ability to spread their determination to others and built a snowman that was brought to life using said determination.
The Snowman is made up of 3 stories which is taller than a child so the child would have to be determined to construct it. That and the Snowman has attachment to the overworld being that he wants to see it.
Actually, Chara can't reset.
►Voltron Bugzilla◄
I've got to be honest, I always get Frisk and Chara mixed up so I just included them both. :/
The main point though still applies that each human may have used determination in different ways.
CausticFoil Ok.
Thing is, only Frisk and Chara have Determination.
Orange soul is bravery and each soul have different traits! That's why Omega Flowey's human souls are so different!
i didnt think id be listening to science over my holiday vacation
ikr
This isn't science.
Lulink it is to me :p
Shiny Umbreon Science if when you prove things by testing them in multiple configurations with only one difference separating each case.
GalaxyGal -11 Holiday vacation?
Oh My Gawd...I think I just Realized Why they Call it "Snowdin" Snowed in... ._. I feel dumb
I didn't realize it until my friend told me, which was a few months after I discovered undertale
I understood it why is waterfall called waterfall?
But why is Hotland called that
At least you realized it two years before me lol
I got a theory for you about undertale.
what if the experiments, the savepoints, the random monster fights, the reason the other 6 humans didn't reset and why frisk didn't reset out of the hole are all connected.
First if you got filled by determination by for instance seeing a city or fighting a friend, you whouldn't need to stay a specific place. What if the experiments leaked determination and that is allowing you to save. That could explain why some monsters get determined to fight you without knowing you are a human and having no reason to fight.
Also if you are only able to save a puddles of determination that whould explain why frisk didn't reload to get out of the hole, frisk can reload, but have no save point to go to. Also if the experiments started leaking afther 6 souls got collected the other humans whould not be able to reset, because they had no save points.
That might also be how flowy can save, flowey just needs to have a root at a savepoint.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense- if flowey can save, and he has determination injected/spilled onto him, why wouldn't frisk? And what made floweys ability go away when frisk beat him-
What if some of the past humans didn't die, but turned to monsters, and Bravery turned into the snowman? :P
Asgore still has the six human souls, though.
Yeah... I can still pretend though. ;w;
My life is a lie
Chloe Corpening or perseverance
Chloe Corpening or maybe kindness
What if I told you that the snowman is actually
delicious.

I remember watching you months and months, maybe years ago. You were so small. Now that I come back, you have 100 thousand subscribers! You did an incredible job, mate. I hope you keep going strong!
Snowmen make me sad :_:
yeah :C
I feel you . . .
:(
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Every one agrees but why do they make you sad?
Mk
I think the snow heals so much to tempt the player into eating it. Also, neither the snow nor the nice cream melts in your inventory. This implies the inventory is special, not the snow.
Do you think Toby put so much thought into a fucking snowman?
kek
Scat Mann Well.. yeah, he also did it with Gaster and clearly.. The snowman has more dialogue then Gaster.
Yes, but the snowman is part of the game. Gaster, is not part of the fucking game.
Let me put it in a way you'll understand. Gaster is NEVER actually seen in the game unless you manipulate the code and change values.
Scat Mann Well, knowing Toby...
HEY GUYS! LOOK AT SNOWMAN COLOR. IT'S NOT SNOW WHITE...... IT'S DETERMINATION WHITE!
krzyś suswał
*SCREAMS*
I noticed that too.
When he brought up images of water as an item in other rpgs, the left one is from Pokémon, and it heals 50hp
How's that for just water?
the snowman is ness
Translation Hell lol
Undertale Freak ! or is he sans?
Undertale Freak ! chill dude chill....its just a joke..please.... chill my dude
Actually, the snowman is Ana because she lives in Snowman
Undertale Freak ! no sans is wario
Ah, the best Christmas present I could get: Your luscious voice, incredible animation, and that beautiful music. Keep up that incredible work.
Thanks for the kind words! Happy holidays to you!
SwankyBox Right back at ya.
But frankly; how swanky can a box get... Frankly I would like to see.
Why are we at the point where people think a Snowman NPC could be the basis of a legit theory.
MusicalMatt
Because the snow man piece doesn't Melt, or heals so much HP, or is a human thing, or makes papyrus sad, or any other point he brings up. Yes I'm fun at parties.
Sentient Salamander how the hell does that make any sense
MusicalMatt
It's because the snow man is an interesting character if you look at the points I've just made
1. It's a fucking NPC
2. My comment was a joke
MusicalMatt
1. The points I just presented
2. My comments ruined your joke
who noticed that the snowdin (or the music from when you see that turtle guy) music is a slowed down version of hopes and dreams?
Built by Trust?
He trusts the Human to get him across
Maybe you are right
No! He's *CLEARLY* Ness! And purple guy! and exotic butters! and sans, and TVIYH, and woodman, and het...
Bob-omb Tunes
AND BOB THE BUILDER!
OskarnikPL
Lol!
AND KERMIT THE FROG! AND ( sanscest ) AND PEANUT BUTTER! AND 21!!
And the great pumpkin!
and snoop dog and toril and papy and frisk and wait yeah wait that's him!
"There is one character bound to the snow forever"
What about the mushroom?
0:11 Humble folks without temptation
Now I feel bad for eating the piece in front of the snowman.. twice.
OxenRabbit XD
Tiny Deer how could u??!!
Same... He said something like: How dare you eat my piece right in front of me
"Rawr!"
"Howdy!"
"Rawr!"
"Howdy"
Does anyone get the reference?
Cake Bro No
pls explain

I get it
Ana Abrão what is it?
+The Crazy Flower underfell comic
I love imaging Toby Fox sitting at home watching one of these like “ehhh, I just thought a talking snowman would be cool”
Lol right what if it was just a joke and theories like this are being made haha this made my day thanks man
"And often into dark places" **shows toby in the snow**
The snowman is so strong it could make asriel god of hyperdeath go hurling to another universe with a flick of his non existing Hand
that was a good video! I want to write a One-Shot about the Snowman now, life must be so hard for him ;-;
Ok, I admit I thought this video was a joke when I first saw it, but, holy crap, you are really good at looking deep into basic stuff most other people would just look over, including me.
This is an amazing theory!
I think the snowman was built by BRAVERY. But after they died, their soul still lingered. We know that BRAVERY's soul was captured because we see it with Asgore, but maybe, This is a bit out on a limb here, but just maybe, BRAVERY's soul spilt in two or fractured at some point, and closest thing to BRAVERY that wasn't already alive was the snowman. Or, maybe the part of BRAVERY's soul went into the snow, and then maybe monster kid build the snowman out of this snow. As far as modelling goes, M.K could have modelled him after one of his parents? After all, we never actually see them in the game. And, another interesting detail about the snowman is that he has no arms. M.K doesn't have any arms either. So if M.K's parents look like M.K, then he could possibly have built the snowman after his parent/s out of BRAVERY's soul snow.
i'd belive it, great theroy
Sunny Productions good idea but monster kid has no arms to build with...
oh lol tru
Perkermern God ! He uses legs, But his legs aren't long Enough to build more details. Maybe his parents had clothes, But He Couldn't find a way to build those.
Notice how when Frisks soul dies when they are killed, it disintegrates and splits. Maybe for the soul of bravery, the soul was slowly splitting and hanging on for life. when it was splitting, fragments of the soul were lost into the snow and thats what brought the snowman to life?
here's a question, if asriel died and turned into a flower than is orange the snowman?
One of my new favourite theory channels
Nightmare was probably an unused version of Ice-E, that Toby thought was too weird.
It could have been Mettaton who built as well. He was with in a Human fan-club with Alphys
napstablook too.
Maybe it's an escaped Amalgamation.
Just to say, there was "cigar" in the Monster Kids Wordsearch
3:00 "Dog Residue also heals health".
Not exactly. Using "Dog Residue" does not directly affect the user's HP. It merely fills all empty slots with a random combination of Dog Residue and Dog Salad. Dog Salad heals health.
the difference between flowey and the snowman that makes it unlikely he was a player in the determination experiments is that flowey wasn't just a flower injected with determination. the flower was pollinated by asriel's dusty remains and so asriel was revived in the form of a souless flower. Unless there was *another* monster who *also* happened to die on snow and was *also* injected with determination, I don't think that's the reason the snowman is sentient
I believe in the first theory, but instead, he ISN'T an amalgamate. What if he was the result of the orange soul dying and possessing the snowman after he built it? Like you said, only humans would know what a snowman even is, seeing as monsters are shown to simply make snow versions of themselves, like snowdogs and the snow papyrus?
Ethanotor Oculus y
Elena R -.-
The problem is, the soul of bravery is in Asgore's possess. The whole game.
Kyutora Oh... Good point. Maybe it's some kind of manifestation... Or maybe an apparition?
I think the same except that the human knew some magic like the story says in the beginning, that humans had magic too, and made life to the snowman
You make alot of things make sense. What are you gonna do next? Sans is actually Papyrus's dad?
The snowman is not the only the inanimate object which can talk, there are aslo the rock in the ruin, maybe it's just magic and this explain why it's so healthy.
I love the fact that we can make theory with any detail, that developed the universe and make thing so intersting
Good vidoe as always !!
This actually makes a lot of sense. I always wandered if there was more to the snowman than just carrying him around.
you gave up on the most likely answer half way through. he's a determination experiment. that's why he doesn't turn to dust. neither does flowey. the only difference is one has emotion. so maybe Ice-e was seemingly a failure, then when snowed back down, the human showed kindness, and Snowman grew to love from that. the isolation made it grow more grateful of every little thing in the underground. alphys/gaster didn't know they had succeded in making an emotional determination creation. but they did. and they never knew.
10 minute video about a snowman. This is amazing
Finally somebody mentions *that* Fun event in a theory...
Maybe Gaster created him?
Wow. I've never seen that "nightmare" thing
COLLIN STEWART
You have to go into the game's files and change something called the "fun value".
Actually the patch makes it so that the fun value is randomised with each reset
Alien Assassin
I haven't played Undertale in a while, so I didn't know about the patch. Thanks.
Alien Assassin I know about the "fun" value, gushers (gaster) etc, just not that
things like this make me think more than I do more than i do on a daily basis.
I like the determination experiment theory the most simply because you mentioned how flowey was just a regular flower brought to life and how the snowman doesn't turn into dust. Putting these 2 facts together, you see another similarity between flowey and the snowman, when flowey is killed, in both the neutral and genocide endings, he doesn't turn into dust, either he is destroyed or reverts back to a regular flower as does the snowman when ending as a lump of snow now inanimate too
Ice-E reminded me of Toon Town tbh...
Moon Light Ikr with his dog face! :D
He reminded me of Chucky Cheese..
*Damn my childhood* XD
He was given life just to suffer.
this was a really ridiculous but adorable video XD
No lie I was here at 1,000 and you grew so fast.
What next? *Scoops up a bit of snow in hand and glares at it* THIS PIECE OF SNOW IS WHY THEY'RE ALL TRAPPED UNDERGROUND AND THE HUMANS DIDN'T EVEN TOUCH GODDAMN ASSGORE? THIS PIECE OF SNOW IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? THIS PIECE OF SNOW IS WHY I WENT BACK TO DOING ANIMATIONS? THIS PIECE OF SNOW IS MY MUM?..basically what I'm saying is, the snowman theory iswtf am I trying to say, I'm just describing endless possibilities of this piece of snow -_-
Biulu whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
7:27 "nightmare" looks like olaf lol
The snow man is very lonely, it asks you to take a piece of its own body and take it some where else, but in stead, you keep it with you and every time you eat it , it make you remember the snowman you met in snodin which is very heart touching and makes a lot of your hp go up.💓
That Snowman is just 'Chillin' there.
What if the after mentioned orange soul built the snowman, but then some of their soul was put into it accidentally and the power of their soul brand it to life after that human left.
I agree!
That's what I thought
But actually that can't be true, the soul is in Asgore's tube
Enrico Polez F Pinto not all of it -. O -.
the snowman is a demon soul trying to escape from the locks of the barrier if you take a piece of him you are inevitably ending everything without knowing it if you eat the piece you are just carrying the demon in a new vessel not locked by the barrier.
Yeahhhhhh no.............. then why did papyrus call you about the snowman
i thought you stopped doing undertale theorys!
this is a cool theory, but a thing about the rain to snow thing-- Alphys stated herself that there is no precipitation/weather while talking about Undyne, so that isn't a possibility. I dunno though. just a game.
I honestly think you're looking into this too much.
Maybe the snowman absorbed the human soul?
Mikey Simon
we can see the orange soul in a tube with asgore when he showed us the barrier though
damn this game's still a thing? i thought this shit was over since no one was able to find out who gaster was... but this brings back memory's
I think the snowman is an amalgamate that escaped. The determination flowing through him (as said ib the video) restore your health immensely.
how is it snowing
Eugene Mccaul reasons
Some caverns are so huge they can have their own weather.
Enrico Polez F Pinto name one place IRL
I got this from another comment, I can't name one.
Eugene Mccaul SnowFAKES
the answer is the snowman is a refference to the movie frozen which the character named olaf that is made by elsa and came to life
lol
Are you fucking serious mate
good troll
Don't eat Olaf!
My God, that white body thing that stands over Frisk in the true lab brings back nightmares.
The carrot is that “thread” it is still hanging on by.
HOLY CRAP NIGHTMARE IS CREEPY 😱😱😱😨😨😨😵😵😵
XD nice one
maybe the snowman IS the human, like flowey is asriel?
So by eating it we are sort of cannibals? Why not, I always ate the snowman pieces anyway.
It’s funny, I experienced the “nightmare” character being there when I played undertale, and I honestly never thought anything of it or noticed it wasn’t there for others. I thought it was just normal.
It’s funny how many things I expirenced or missed when I played that I don’t even know about.
snoguy: tree bals
boxguy: it's modeled after a human.
I thik the snow man is frosty the snowman
Lonlely pango it cant walk frosty can
FIRE FOX KINGDOM! :3 IT'S DISABLED FROSTY!
Frosty needs a weird hat to live, the snowman doesn't, ITS NAKED
Ambilexious Lol you are correct
ITS DISABLED FROSTY THE SNOWMAN!!!!
B-but the 🎩
maybe a kid's dust was sprinkled to the snowman after the war and the kid built it
Bigbanana E humans don't usually dust, unless cremated.
I think +Bigbanana E meant a monster child, like Asriel or (unsurprisingly) Monster Kid.
It would still have to be experimented on to come to life though, considering that Flowey didn't come to life until he was experimented on by Alphys.
Clownpiece the war was above ground and Asriel died in a flower patch
Grace Shakhan
wha...?
about the war, what does this have to do with anything anyone on this chain as said?
and about asriel, he was an example of a child monster, i never suggested HE built the snowman.
Bigbanana E I thought only monsters turn to dust......
heck this is a good theory
I would take that part of him everywhere I went to show it all the world in undertale
I think you're milking undertale a little too hard.
Soap of Doom
But it refused! XD
It's filled with Determination
Soap of Doom Just like COD, just like FIFA
but its been like 3 months since the last undertale video
If he made a 1 hour video with all his UT theories and never posted anything else, he would be dead.
SWANKY PLZ REPLY
Howdy!
Thanks I am ur biggest fan u are mlg
Thank you.
***** At least he didn't come up with a lie saying he was poor or something. And seriously, that was rude.
+Kingjake41 THIS MAILBOX IS MINE, AND THIS TRIAGLNAL SIGN.
This was hearth touching
Thank you for making a video about me! :)
i usually just eat the snowman piece infront of him
I always thought that the “nightmare” written above the word search snowman says something about the true nature of this snowman
I like the idea that bravery made the snowman for a ghost that wanted to become corporeal.
I'm not saying this is a bad theory, but there's something I'm concerned about. The orange soul couldn't have gotten to build the snowman in the place where it was. It was killed by Doggo or before that because you can't move for Doggo, and he moved no matter what. Btw great theory and please do more :)
