Battle#
TestFroggit#
obj_testmonster, named "TestFroggit" in-game, is an early version of Froggit. It shares many of its battle dialogues with Froggit, but it has a number of extra lines buried in its code.
Text that appears at the start of the battle. Here it refers to the enemy as "TestMonster" instead of "TestFroggit".
* TestMonster and its cohorts
draw near!
Flavor text that appears when no special conditions are met.
* You feel intimidated by the
strength of this adversary.
* Just kidding.
* The enemy cooks a small
bowl of flies.
* You can't concentrate
over the sound of croaking.
* The battlefield is filled with the smell of mustard seed.
* You think hard about words
that rhyme with frog.
* Log. Dog. Snog. Pog?
* A frog can't lick its
wounds because its tongue is
just too stretchy.
Text that appears when using the Check ACT.
* What's your favorite color?
* Red * Orange
Text that appears when selecting "Red" on the favorite color question.
* Do robots dream of
electric sex?
Text that appears when selecting "Orange" on the favorite color question.
* I hate programming this.
Text that appears when using the Threat ACT.
* You say some raunchy
things to those frogs.
Jeeeez!
* There's definitely some
sort of reaction.
Most of TestFroggit's battle quotes are the same as Froggit's with the exception of the quote for when you threaten Froggit. In the code for TestFroggit, the IDs for the Compliment and Threat ACTs are swapped when deciding which quote to use, meaning this would show up when using Compliment.

RG 03 and RG 04#
In the game's files with battle ID 76, there is a fully complete battle set up for two more Royal Guards, RG 03 and RG 04. RG 03 and RG 04 are mentioned by Undyne during a phone conversation as switching off with RG 01 and RG 02 on certain days. Despite this, they were actually cut simply because there wasn't any place they could naturally be put in, according to the artbook.
Their battle revolves around them being old friends who had a falling out, and the Pacifist solution is to get them to make up. The guards themselves are slightly incomplete, both using Aaron's defeated sprite as a placeholder, along with not having unique bullet graphics and unique bullet patterns for ACTing, unlike 01 and 02.

Unused Game Over Messages#
These would be used after you have died at least once if you haven't killed anybody, but are always overwritten by the used set of dialogue. These messages use Asriel's voice, which gives the intention of these messages being Asriel's final words to the fallen human shortly after their death. The dialogue saying "This is all just a bad dream" did end up getting somewhat used when dying to Photoshop Flowey.
All instances of "[C]" in the dialogue are replaced with the fallen human's name.
