Hootdrake

Hootdrake is an animal encountered in Sanddin Beach. The protagonist may later encounter him as an NPC near Papyrus's sentry station.

Appearance
Hootdrake is an owl with a heart-like design. His face is arranged to resemble a heart with feathers sticking out symmetrically in certain locations. He also appears to be vaguely carnivorous, such as having a sharp beak.

Hootdrake is tawny on the entirety of his body, excluding his beak, eyes, underbelly, and feet, all of which are different colours. Hootdrake has markings on both of his eyes that differ in comparison to each other.

Personality
Just as Hootdrake's Check implies, "This teen comedian fights to keep a captive audience." Throughout a battle, Hootdrake will constantly make puns.

The protagonist can spare Hootdrake by laughing at one of his puns, which makes him proud. However, should the protagonist continuously Heckle, Hootdrake will feel defeated and be immediately spared.

Main Story
In the True Tree, Hootdrake's missing mother can be found. In the epilogue, Hootdrake can be seen with his father and mother near Papyrus's sentry station in Sanddin Beach.
