* [[spoiler:Chara]] is a OneSceneWonder who only appears in the game in person at the end of a hidden route with specific requirements, with little clear explanation of their personality or goals compared to other characters, and it's not explained how, why, or exactly at what point they [[spoiler:appear to take over the flavor text and possibly the protagonist's body in a case of DemonicPossession]]. Yet, they've always made a big splash.
** Early in the fandom's life they were seen near-universally as [[EnfantTerrible a detestable and shockingly evil person in spite of their youth]] akin to ''Film/TheOmen's'' Damien Thorn, and [[VileVillainSaccharineShow perhaps the only irredeemable character among the cast]], [[LoveToHate but still appeared]] in ''countless'' fan arts, comics, fanfiction, animations, and songs as the fandom's go-to villain in fan content and crossovers, and depicted as a [[BadassAdorable tiny evil badass]] [[VillainousValour able to go toe to toe with]] [[spoiler:Sans the Skeleton]]. Part of this can actually be chalked up to the influence of [[spoiler:Sans's popularity]], as the reasons why his fans liked him so much naturally demanded an equally powerful ArchEnemy as the source of all his misery to battle, and, with Flowey closest to filling it in canon but [[spoiler:too sympathetic for fans to use due to his identity as Asriel, and Frisk too widely seen as a gentle pacifist and {{Protectorate}} of Sans' to be pitted against him]], [[spoiler:Chara]] was the natural choice to take over the role.
** But, having sparked a great deal of discussion and analysis because of their mysterious nature and how [[PresentAbsence their shadow loomed large over the entire game]], the [[spoiler:Narrator Chara]] theory that came months after the game's release hugely helped rehabilitate their image in fan circles by using [[spoiler:all the flavor text in the game]] to, in one fell swoop: flesh out their character to have a [[AdorablyPrecociousChild cute]], [[MouthyKid snarky]] [[LittleProfessorDialog personality]] with a [[FreudianExcuse likely sad backstory]] that caused their less-admirable qualities and development into a [[spoiler:[[HeroicSuicide suicidal]]]] WellIntentionedExtremist at such a young age; indicate an arc of quiet [[TookALevelInIdealism character development]] and an adorable OddFriendship with [[spoiler:[[AllLovingHero Frisk]]]] in normal routes; and recontextualize the Genocide run into their [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds tragic]] [[CorruptTheCutie corruption]] into [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis becoming their own antithesis]]. The combination of the "cute kid" fuzzies and [[TrueArtIsAngsty heart-shattering angst]] naturally appealed to many, to the point that [[https://undertale-data.tumblr.com/post/662472353278754816/image-description-an-undertale-chat-box-with-the one 2021 poll]] of current ''Undertale'' fans on Website/{{Tumblr}} had [[spoiler:Chara]] come in at '''3rd place''' as the most popular ''Undertale'' character, the highest-voted character behind the infamously popular [[BreakoutCharacter skeleton brothers]] themselves.[[note]]Fans were allowed to vote for only their favorite character, and 2,651 responses were collected; Papyrus came in 1st place with 519 votes (19.6%), then Sans, then Chara in 3rd with 196 votes (7.4%), with Mettaton in 4th with 138 votes (5.2%).[[/note]]

** Muffet. Her adorable and well-done design, interesting personality, difficult yet fun and interesting boss fight, and great song for her battle make her a lot of people's favorite minor character. There's just as much fan art for her, if not more, than Toriel, to the degree that someone unfamiliar with the game could be forgiven for thinking she plays a much larger part than she actually does. Like [[spoiler:Gaster]], there's no shortage of ''Undertale'' fanart and fan fiction that [[AscendedExtra upgrades her to main character status]]. It might help that she's designed by Michelle Czajkowski of ''Webcomic/AvasDemon'' fame.
** Everyman, part of an attack done by [[spoiler:one of the Amalgamations]], is also becoming surprisingly popular, especially after being given an official name by Toby, despite [[AssistCharacter being no more than a bullet in another enemy's bullet hell]]. It's even considered an icon of constant speculation source Dr. Gaster. In fact, it makes various return cameos in ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}''.

** The Royal Guard Dogs in Snowdin, but particularly Doggo (who has been very popular with the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom) and the Lesser Dog (for [[MemeticMutation his neck-stretching antics]]). Even [[https://twitter.com/tobyfox/status/646771457717108742 Toby seemed surprised]] that Doggo became so popular.
** Ice-E, the mascot character for Monster Kidz Word Search, has enormous popularity in comparison to his relevance (appearing in one scene as a picture). Like Everyman, he too would show up again in ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'', this time as a pizza mascot well-known among the Light World's cast.

The shopkeeper Temmie is especially popular for both providing the best armor in the game and its SurpriseCreepy moments.
** Woshua, who's just a random encounter, but is popular among the fandom due to his amusing speech patterns, character gimmick, and some hilariously dark dialogue, which have caused him to be regarded as a self-appointed memetic MoralGuardian.
** Snowdrake is another random encounter who's quite popular due to his adorable design and SoBadItsGood puns, as well as his backstory making him a huge {{Woobie}}, as well as being one of the most tangible examples of VideoGameCrueltyPotential if you choose to kill him.
** Rather coincidentally, all three of the "[[ElementalEmbodiment fire elemental]]" [=NPCs=] count. Grillby is loved for being one of the few named minor characters, having a unique design, and there being plenty of room for fans to develop him (particularly with his relationship with Sans). Heats Flamesman is liked for providing a random, hilarious moment, even getting a flair on the ''Undertale'' [[Website/{{Reddit}} subreddit]]. And the fire girl in a SailorFuku in Hotland is liked just for being adorable.
** Perhaps the strangest example out of all of these, the Yellow Soul, due to [[Memes/{{Undertale}} the prevalent "yee haw" meme]] on Website/{{Reddit}}. It's to the point that there's [[http://gamejolt.com/games/undertale-yellow/136925 an entire fangame]] devoted to them being developed.

** Of the side characters who don't have a bearing on the plot, Napstablook is adored for being huggably sad all the time, having a jazzy boss theme, saving the player from the Mad Dummy, and the weird yet awesome moment that happens if you choose to hang out with them.
** Madjick also has a bit of a following, seemingly for no other reason than it was [[MemeticMutation a running joke that somebody started]].
** The Annoying Dog, who most players will find more [[ActuallyPrettyFunny amusing]] than annoying due to the ways it {{troll}}s the cast, such as [[spoiler:apparently being one of Papyrus's death traps]] and [[spoiler:sneaking into the player's inventory and then absorbing a "legendary artifact" when deployed]].
** The Tsunderplane, for being a parody of {{tsundere}}s. Not that it likes being popular or anything!
** If fan art is any indication, Endogeny is the most popular of [[spoiler:the Amalgamates]] due to its unique design, along with the CreepyCute charm of it being [[spoiler:a BigFriendlyDog in the form of an amorphous EldritchAbomination. The game even lets you play with it!]]
