Why does this article exist

Stats are the focal point of this wiki, they're what this wiki was made for. The character is just a backdrop to apply numbers and terms to.

Gaster has 1 stat. Literally everything else is Unknown. We can't really use him in a fight, because we don't know anything about him. This article is really just a summary with some stats added onto it, rather than the other way around.

If we removed everything strictly unnecessary (but still appreciated) from this article (summary and explanations of stats) we would be left with this:

Tier: Unknow

Name: W. D. Gaster

Origin: Undertale

Gender: Inapplicable

Age: N/A

Classification: Monster (formerly), Former Royal Scientist, Mystery Man, Impossibility

Powers and Abilities: Acausality, Immortality, Possible Possession, Omnipresence.

Attack Potency: Unknow

Speed: Omnipresent

Lifting Strength: N/A

Striking Strength: N/A

Durability: Unknow

Stamina: N/A

Range: Unknown

Intelligence: Immense in his life. Now likely omniscient

Weaknesses: Unknown

Does this really seem needed?

I get your point.


Tho I more worried about not fighting characters profiles.

Like, even of their profile said that they are not fighters, are normally their stats are Human level, or even Below Average Human level

You can still argue with those because you can compare skills and such. Gaster is a complete non-entity who has displayed no feats and done nothing. He doesn't meet the barest requirements for a fight, while even a copy/paste "Human level" article can at least be pitted against people.

Good point.


Gaster's profile should be deleted.

I agree with deleting the page if we know nothing about his stats.

Maybe you should ask Azathoth on this?

I will message him, although he may have created that page as Gaster was implied to be a significant character in UT overall, even without any feats.

I added Gaster because he has essentially become an important character after the game's release, being added so that you now no longer have to modify any internal values to trigger his appearance, events related to him having a higher rate of occurring, his appearance being made canon by the tarot cards, and implications of being an important character to the game's lore, with strongly implied links to several major characters, as well as the architect behind the area the last quarter of the game takes place in.

If he was strictly an easter egg with no bearing on the story, I would not have added him. However, not only did he seem notable enough (especially post-update), but I was also requested to do so by multiple users, and thought it was best if I went ahead and did it so that it could be as accurate as possible.

It is true that we know very little about Gaster (the main things being that he was a supergenius in life, is omnipresent, acausal, has some form of time manipulation, reality warping, and possibly possession), but we have profiles for quite a few characters who have little known about their abilities, and some for characters who would barely even qualify as characters. Using him in a fight is pointless, but that does not dictate why characters have profiles here. It is to index their stats and knowledge about them, and while he is shrouded in mystery, we do know at the very least a few important things about Gaster, and he has shown up, so we know he exists.
