DELTARUNE : CHAPTER [[GARY]]

PUP Monitor

PUP Monitor, sometimes referred to as just Monitor, is a mini-boss fight exclusive to the Insider Route. It can be found inside the TV Studio Tower on FLOOR B in the Security Room.

PUP Monitor is a counter to Tasque Manager, both being responsible for animals and a reference to monitoring and status applications.

Profile

Appearence

PUP Monitor is a tall, bipedal creature with resemblances to dogs. Its face is a glass snout where a heart monitor line is displayed. It has two pointy black ears that stand upright. Its shoulders are detached from its body, floating close to its torso. It has no arms, but two floating hands with red fingers that hover somewhat in place. Its body is completely black, save for its red waist and paws, and some grey bolts that go along its hind legs. It has a small tail that resembles an audio jack. Monitor wears a grey collar with a square red tag on it.

PUPs look similar to their Monitor. They're four-legged segmented dog creatures. Their snout is long and thin with the upper half being made of dark glass, the screen displaying four small circles: a red one at the top, two blue ones in the middle and a green one at the bottom. Their ears and tail are short and stand upright, made of translucent and shiny plastic.

Personality

As Gary's security and pest-control, Monitor is in charge of patrolling the halls of the TV Studio Tower, leading his PUPs to sniff out any pests or intruders. It takes great pride in its PUPs, being seen calling them "good boys" and rewarding them during battle.

Main Story

Chapter [[GARY]]

PUP Monitor can be found exclusively in the Insider Route. It's located inside the security room in FLOOR B, where the player can encounter it overlooking a package of PUPs. Monitor will ask Kris if they're willing to monitor one of the PUPs. Refusing starts the battle immediately, but accepting prompts Monitor to give the player a puzzle. The player is tasked with remembering the order in which the dots on the PUP's face blink and replicating it. If the puzzle is solved, the battle starts with Monitor being able to be spared on the very first turn. If the player fails the puzzle halfway, the battle starts with half of its mercy gauge filled.
