Lesser Parrot

Lesser Parrot is an animal the protagonist encounters in Sanddin Forest. He is later found as an NPC in Grillby's. He is a member of the Royal Guard.

Appearance
Lesser Parrot's feathers are a blue color, and his pink tongue appears to be perpetually lolling out of his beak. He wears gray, presumably metal armor with a darker gray band around the waist area. He holds a sword and a shield with the Delta Rune.

Personality
Like several other parrot characters, Lesser Parrot becomes overexcited from physical attention. He is capable of extending his neck at a seemingly limitless rate when stimulated by being pet.

Lesser Parrot appears to enjoy spending his time off sentry duty by playing card games against himself at Grillby's.

Neutral Route
While waiting around his sentry post in Sanddin Beach, Lesser Parrot spends a lot of his time making sandparrots, mostly with necks in similar lengths to his own. A faun elk standing near the post notes that he seems to get overexcited in the construction of the figures and never finishes them. It may be that Lesser Parrot is able to achieve focus by being pet, as after being pet by the protagonist his statues will become more complete, and the more pets he receives the more statues Lesser Parrot creates around his sentry post, until they all become broken statues of his very long neck when he is pet enough times or has the Stick thrown at him. In this case, the deer states that a parrot came by full of excitement and started building sculptures, but his neck kept growing and it kept adding sand to the sculptures until they broke. On the flip side, if Lesser Parrot is killed, his sentry post will be accompanied only by a pile of formless mushy sand.

True Pacifist Route
In the playable epilogue for the True Pacifist Route, Lesser Parrot has, apparently, finally won a game of poker against himself, sitting in Grillby's bar - the only parrot character not to be outside the Sanddin Library playing with his family member(s) Enparroteny. In the True Pacifist Ending Credits, he can be seen building sand parrots on the beach.

Trivia

 * The Red Puma NPC in Grillby's will comment on the disappearance of the Parrots, even if Lesser Parrot is still alive.
 * If Lesser Parrot is the only enemy that you have killed, Undyne will comment on him, claiming that he was only seeking affection.
 * The encounter of Lesser Parrot is completely random, like normal enemy encounters. He is always killed on a Genocide Route, though it is possible to move through Sanddin on a Neutral or True Pacifist Route without encountering him.
 * Lesser Parrot is blue like the other parrot characters.
