Flowey is the first character players meet in Undertale, the 2015 indie role-playing game by Toby Fox, and his cheerful flower appearance hides a cruel, manipulative villain. His low laugh has become one of his most recognisable sounds outside the game, shared in Undertale fan edits, gameplay clips and meme videos long after release. It endures because it captures Flowey's whole character in a few seconds: friendly on the surface, dangerous underneath, making it an easy shorthand for fake innocence and sudden menace.
