Character Heights

[DanEgbert]

Important Note: This is based on if Temmie was a large dog, because Temmie is oversized. This also uses Undertale Overworld Sprites because battle sprites are inconsistent.

Okay, so I was having a debate with someone over whether Frisk is a child, or any age you want them to be. So I decided to solve it with math.

The average size for a large dog is about 42 inches.(106.68 cm, 1.06 meters)

Temmie is 21 pixels tall, so that means each pixel is 2 inches tall.(5.08 cm)

Frisk and Chara are 29 pixels tall, so that means they are 58 inches tall, or 4' 10”. (147.32 cm, 1.47 meters) That is the average height of a 12 year old. Problem solved, Frisk is a child.

Asriel is 28 pixels tall, so that means he is 56 inches, or 4' 8”. (142.24 cm, 1.42 meters) The average height of an 11 year old.

Sans is 30 pixels tall, so he is 60 inches, or 5'. (152.4 cm, 1.52 meters)

Papyrus is 44 pixels tall, so he is 88 inches, or 7' 4”. (223.52 cm, 2.23 meters)

Undyne is 48 pixels tall, so she is 96 inches, or 8'. (243.84 cm, or 2.43 meters)

Alphys is 32 pixels tall, so she is 64 inches, or 5' 4”. (162.56 cm, 1.62 meters)

Toriel is 49 pixels tall, so she is 98 inches, or 8' 4”. (248.92 cm, or 2.48 meters)

Finally, Asgore is 54 pixels tall, making a whopping 108 inches, or 9'. (274.32 cm, or 2.74 meters)

Please tell me if you think the conversion is wrong, doesn't make sense, or other critism. Also, tell me if I counted wrong on the pixels so I can change it. Also, to make this clear, I don't think of this as 100% canon, but I feel like it's a close representation.

Add metric system version.

makes sense to me
but is papyrus considered a child or adult, since sans is older?

Papyrus is a adult, but I hate people who think that he's a child.

The japanese version of Papyrus calls Sans older brother.

Question is, is that canon, i don't remember Toby making an official japanese version.

Okay. Anyways, he confirmed it anyways; https://twitter.com/fwugradiation/status/641953302490578944
Edit: NVM, apparently, the post doesn't exsist anymore.

There you go!

[Clockwork Brain]

can you show alternate measurements for the battle plane sprites? those seem to be different from the overworld sprites for some odd reason. also, does Asgore's height include his horns or no?

[Clockwork Brain]

also, why did you decide temmie is the size of a large dog? and why use temmie over, say, the actual dog that's in the game? determine the subspecies, get the average height, and use that to do pixel measurements.
edit: just did some research. the annoying dog is most likely a pomeranian, as in the demo it's sprite and sounds are named things like "tinypom" and "pombark" and pom is short for pomeranian. pomeranians average around 9.5 inches tall. the annoying dog is 19 pixels tall. that would be 2 inches per pixel... oh. huh.

I'm too lazy and I'm not interested in this anymore. As for the second question, I don't remember. This thread is over a year old.

I didn't think of using the Annoying Dog, but either way this thread is way too old to continue discussing this. However it is quite a coincidence that they both end up being 2 inches. That would mean Temmie is in fact the size of a large dog.

COOL! I'm the same height as Sans! (Super short for my age!)

What does Sans call Papyrus in the Japanese version?

Ok, based on NovaStar's calculations(1 pixel=2 inches);
Flowey's world sprite is 20 pixels tall. He's approximatelly 40 inches tall or 4'4"(91,4 cm or 0.9144 m).
