Flowey is the first major character players meet in Undertale, the role-playing game released in 2015 and created by Toby Fox. Beneath a cheerful introduction, he quickly reveals a cruel side, which helped make him one of the game's most memorable figures. Short combat and hit effects from the game later circulated widely in fan videos, remixes, and soundboards, detached from their original battles. This clip remains popular because it is instantly recognisable to players while still working as a clean, generic impact for viewers who have never played.
