Explain Ghosts

[Ben]

How are ghosts real if monsters die when they are kill?

[Samael]

Same way skeletons are walking around I guess? I think its just a form of Monster.

[Wes]

The same way there are skeletons. Theyre kinda preformed that way I assume. It's also worth noting that it is possible for ghosts to take damage in undertale. When you fight the mad dummy he will take damage from 'magic' attacks. It's just that the player has no way of actually damaging a ghost themselves since they don't take physical damage.
Assumabely if killed they would turn to dust as well.

Imagine ghost type pokemon and you probably get the idea. It's a species, not a thing you become.

[Ben]

I thought skeletons descended from humans.

Humans descended from skeletons.

I figured Sans and Papyrus just happened to be creatures that looked like humans without skin. While Napstablook died a long time ago and was just banished from the human world because he just wasn't one of them anymore.

Afterall, wasn't Mettaton an experiment in using a human soul to make a robot... and s/he's Napstablook's cousin.

monster souls are different than human souls and are unrelated. monster skeletons are different than lame inert human skeletons

then who was ghost?

They aren't actually "ghosts"...

They're just a family of incorporeal monsters.

No, Mettaton is referred to as having a human soul. So these are dead people.

It didn't say human soul... just SOUL, as in a monster soul.

Impossible Monster Souls don't exist after the Monster is killed. Only humans have an afterlife (Asriel's just weird)

Monsters souls DO exist after it's death, but it will disappear (or dissolve? I dunno) immediately after. The special cases as noted by the plaque on the walls at Waterfall, are Boss Monsters, like Asriel, Asgore, and Toriel.

Mettaton didn't die... if you do the Genocide path the Mad Dummy, out of an incredible emotional outburst, fuses with the dummy becoming corporeal.

The same thing happened with Mettaton.

Yeah, but a monster soul CANNOT EVEN SURVIVE without a body, so Mettaton had to be the ghost of a human. Monster ghosts don't exist.
