Which game has better Special Enemies?

To define special enemies, basically unique encounters that aren’t bosses or minibosses. For example, Temmie, Clover, or Shyren.

Deltarune’s special enemies are often slapdash, either as jokes or random characters we won’t see again.

In Undertale, most of them have at least some deal of story behind them.

Honestly I don't even know what DR enemies count as "special". I considered Clover to be a miniboss but I think the wiki doesn't because you can fight her in the dojo.

I don't think "Special Enemy" is really a categorization that makes sense in deltarune because it doesnt have random encounters anyways.

Is that not a special enemy?

The have mechanics unique enough to not be a regular enemy, but they aren't important enough to be a boss. (Might be defining boss wrong.)

For example, King is a forced fight that finishes the chapter.

Jevil is a Bonus fight that is unnecessary to finish the chapter, and drops a weapon or armor depending on if they were spared or fought.

Jackenstein doesn't drop a Shadow Crystal, armor, or a weapon. He drops something perhaps necessary to continue the chapter, but he has no lore implications really.

Jackenstein is a miniboss and that is FINAL.

Is a miniboss not just another term for special enemy?

no, a mini boss is a mandatory encounter with its own music, often times giving an item needed to progress.

AKA: Jackenstein

Special enemies are things like Clover and Miss Mizzle. Unique encounters that aren’t exactly bosses as the plot moves on without them.

The plot quite literally can’t move on without Jackenstein.
