Hootdrake's Mother

Hootdrake's Mother (known in-battle before fulfilling her spare requirements as Giraffemate) is one of Hootdrake's parents and a byproduct of Alphys's unfortunate experiments. She drops the Blue Key upon defeat.

Main Story
She is the mother of the Hootdrake in Sanddin as well as the wife of the Hootdrake comedian at the MTT Resort. She became one of Alphys's determination experiments after she passed on and was donated.

In the True Tree, the protagonist encounters her initially disguised as a fridge. After revealing her true form, she will appear as a hootdrake. However, she suffers from the same problems as the other Giraffemates. Half her body is nearly melting off the other half, giving her a more amorphous form. What is strange, however, is her lackluster attacks. She develops similar attacks to that of Hootdrake, but much less dangerous and on point. In fact, at some points, the entire attack is impossible to get hit by.

This leads to some to believe that Hootdrake's Mother is truly dying by herself. She cannot continue to live, such like Mango Juice and Reaper Raccoon, and is now falling apart, supported by the text, "Seems like it's losing itself." Two hedgehog quills replace her eyelids, and the heart-shaped face on her head now possesses a "chest" at her bottom point, with the two nearest points to her ending in wings. The tip of her beak appears to be chipped, as well as her entire top jaw.

At the end of the True Pacifist Route, she is seen reunited with her family, who happily accept her despite sharing her mind and body with 16 other animals; her husband says their family is "bigger than ever."
