Ice Cap is a species of monster the protagonist encounters in Snowdin Forest. If the protagonist does not kill any Ice Caps before battling Papyrus, they can be found as NPCs throughout Snowdin Forest.

Profile

Appearance

Described as a "teen," they appear as a small humanoid figure made of snow with a disproportionately large head. They have large, sunken eyes and a rotating, drill-like nose. They proudly wear hats made of ice.

Personality

Ice Caps are narcissistic monsters that are desperate for attention; they proudly wear their hats in an attempt to catch the protagonist's eye. They also show an interest in fashion.

In Battle

Appears with

Attacks

  • Top hat-like objects appear at the bottom of the screen and shoot chunks of ice upwards, which fall back down after a bit of a delay.
  • Waves enclose the bottom of the screen with a zig-zagging path between them that can be dodged by simply moving up and down slightly in a rhythm, or staying still at a safe height near the middle of the screen, where neither the top wall nor the bottom wall can reach.

Strategy

File:Ice-0.png

Ice cap as "ice."

  • Sparing conditions are met after Ignoring it twice.
  • Alternatively, if Snowdrake is present, selecting the [Joke] command from the [ACT] menu on Snowdrake will make it spareable.
  • Stealing its hat after sparing conditions have been met will make its hat melt, and then it will turn into just "ice."
    • Complimenting Ice Cap in this state will earn the yellow text in the ending credits.

Trivia

  • Ice Cap was designed by Magnolia Porter, creator of Monster Pulse. She also designed Monster Kid, Snowdrake, Jerry and helped design Gyftrot.
  • If killed as Ice, Aaron's sprite appears with a REC in the corner. This was fixed in v1.001.
  • There is a bug that if you compliment Ice on the same turn as Jerry returns after ditching him, Jerry will say what Ice would have if it was complimented while it still had its hat. This bug is not fixed yet.
  • Ice Cap's name may be a pun on the polar ice caps and cap.
    • Ice Cap's name may also be a pun on "Nice cap."
