Down To The Bone would later be present in Indie Cross.He also refers to himself as 'Ore-Sama' (俺様) which can be the most arrogant thing a person would call themselves in Japan.This is intended to reference the Papyrus font's old, and antique purpose. His text goes from right, to left and the symbols are written vertically. In the Japanese localization for Undertale, Papyrus uses an old Japanese writing form.The artbook also reveals that the 'Confused' sprites were drawn by Guzusuru, but were omitted since Toby Fox thought they looked 'too good'.His original design was also inspired by Dedan from OFF but has changed a lot since. This was alter changed because a mean-spirited character would be very unfitting to the game.The artbook for his source game reveals that Papyrus was initially going to wear a fedora and be a total creep with no redeeming qualities, and his favorite show was going to be called 'My Little Boney' an exact reference to that one side of the My Little Pony community.However, in the official Japanese translation released in 2017, Papyrus refers to Sans as 'niichan', a somewhat immature way of addressing one's older brother. There is a multitude of interpretations for this as it doesn't really give a clear answer. In a now deleted tweet, Toby Fox said that Papyrus would use the term 'aniki,' which is a Japanese honorable term used for older brothers, or superiors.While Papyrus's 'special attack' is shown as a singular bone during his battle, it could be implied that the attack somehow involved a Gaster Blaster.He even makes puns a great deal more than Sans does at 14 puns compared to 6. Despite his intolerance towards Sans's humor, Papyrus makes quite a few jokes himself.He is also the only character to always speak in all caps (Mettaton is an exception since he stops talking in all caps when he becomes Mettaton EX).He is the only character whose dialogue does not begin with an asterisk.According to Flowey, Papyrus's favorite food is 'that oatmeal with the dinosaur eggs.'.This is a reference to Helvetica, a webcomic about a skeleton that is named after a font. Papyrus's name alludes to the typeface in which he speaks in, that being Papyrus.Ancient Egyptians wrote primarily on papyrus, a type of paper. Papyrus's idle pose is likely a reference to ancient Egyptian drawings that resembles his stance.Meaning, he would've spoke using the Times New Roman font. His initial name was 'Times New Roman' during development.IF IT TAKES SOME FINE TUNES TO CAPTURE YOU.SO BE IT! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WILL CAPTURE BOTH OF YOU! Papyrus is also one of few monsters able to use blue attacks.

In Undertale itself, he is able to send bones in multiple patterns as an attack, as well as make the player's SOUL affected by gravity. It's also important to note that in the animation he isn't actually the one 'creating' notes on Boyfriend's side - instead, his brother Sans uses psychokinesis to duplicate notes on Papyrus' side.

He doesn't do this a lot during his song so it's not that much of a biggie. In J-Bug’s animation, the only abilities shown in this animation/mod is to give Boyfriend his notes. He depicts immense bravery even in the face of potentially inevitable death. But, he is occasionally oblivious and non-observant, but can be cunning at times, for example, he uses reverse psychology to trick Undyne into befriending the protagonist. He is also optimistic, brave, and very considerate even if the protagonist beheads him during the Genocide Route. He is a hard working individual and despite his brash personality, he's still kind at heart. Papyrus acts like a flamboyant skeleton who presents a confident, charismatic image for himself. Papyrus is initially depicted without a microphone (J-Bug), however, he gains one in the game due to being modded over Daddy Dearest (JoetheHorse), as well as BunxMaker's Papyrus, and TheLunar27's Papyrus. He calls this armor as a whole his 'battle body'. He wears a red cape, matching gloves and boots, black stockings for his arms and legs, as well as a pair of blue briefs and a white chestplate with round shoulder armor and the Royal Guard logo on the top right. He is seen smiling in almost every pose (partially due to his personality, or due to having no lips to cover them). He sometimes possesses eyeballs which only shows if he's expressing strong emotion. His eyes also resemble vertical slits, as well as his pseudo-brows preform most of the expressions he makes. Papyrus appears as a tall and perhaps an anatomically inaccurate skeleton whose skull is more vertical and geometric compared to his brother.
