Undyne is a boss character in Undertale, the 2015 role-playing game by Toby Fox, where she appears as the determined captain of the Royal Guard and one of its most memorable fights. Short vocal clips from her battles have long circulated on soundboards and in gaming edits, because her voice and dramatic delivery are instantly recognisable to fans of the game. This dying variant is used in the same way, as a compact reaction that signals defeat without needing any context from the full fight, which keeps it popular in Undertale memes and fail compilations.
