Undyne is a major character in Toby Fox's Undertale, first released in 2015, and her Undying form appears as a much harder boss in the game's Genocide Route. Fans often isolate short clips from that battle because the fight is famous for its difficulty, speed and emotional stakes. The dying moment has become a compact shorthand online for defeat after a long struggle, especially in Undertale edits, reaction videos and gaming memes where a single abrupt sound can close a scene.
