# I'm Wing Gaster, the Royal Scientist A line from the 2016 Undertale fan game Undertale: Battle Mode in which W.D. Gaster introduces himself before the player shoves him down a hole. Years after the game's release, fans turned the awkward introduction and abrupt defeat into a running Undertale joke, and by late 2023 X and Reddit users were spreading screenshots and voice-overed edits of the scene. ## Origin On November 22nd, 2016, GameJolt user yosheDev released Undertale: Battle Mode, a fan game of custom Undertale-style boss fights[1]. One of those fights opens with the character Wing Gaster introducing himself as the Royal Scientist, after which the player pushes him down a hole and the battle ends. The scene went mostly unnoticed outside the game's own audience for years, even as the project's GameJolt page kept racking up views. The wider internet first saw the line through a YouTube playthrough posted on June 28th, 2019 by Merg, where the Wing Gaster encounter appears around the 12:21 mark[6]. The clip is the one most meme edits later cite as a source for the voice line and the push animation. - **Platform:** GameJolt (source), X / Reddit (viral spread) - **Creator:** yosheDev (fan game author) - **Date:** 2016 ## Overview I'm Wing Gaster, the Royal Scientist refers to a scripted introduction line delivered by a version of W.D. Gaster, called "Wing Gaster," in the Undertale fan game Undertale: Battle Mode by GameJolt user yosheDev[1]. In the scene, Gaster announces himself to the player, then gets shoved down a hole seconds later, which fans later recut as a joke about how little dignity the character gets[2]. The meme typically takes two shapes. One is the static screenshot of Gaster's name box and dialogue, often reposted on Reddit or X with a sarcastic caption treating the fan game moment as if it were canon[3]. The other is a short video edit that acts out the line in a dub voice and then cuts to Gaster plummeting, with YouTubers like Beethovenus and dominicfox101 making popular versions in late 2023 and early 2024[4][5]. ## How to Use Posters typically share either a cropped screenshot of Gaster's name tag and dialogue box or a short edit that plays the voice line before cutting to the push. The common convention is to treat the awkward fan game moment as if it were a serious Undertale lore reveal, often by captioning it as a scene from a real chapter of Deltarune or by pairing it with a post that misstates Gaster's name. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is I'm Wing Gaster, the Royal Scientist?
