Dress Lion
Mettaton looked really... Really cool in that dress.
It sort of makes me feel like I could wear one, too!Dress Lion
Dress Lion[note 1] is a minor character in Undertale. They are located on the third floor of Hotland, near Mettaton's musical set.
Dress Lion is a yellow lion-like monster with an orange mane. They wear a blue long-sleeved button-up letterman jacket and black pants. Their eyes are constantly closed, and they wear a frown on their face.
During the True Pacifist Route epilogue, Dress Lion swaps out their initial outfit with Mettaton's blue dress. They wear a smile on their face while wearing it.
Dress Lion admires Mettaton's dress and aspires to wear one of their own. After being gifted the dress, they become overjoyed, stammering over their words and laughing.
Due to their initially-masculine appearance and their excitement at being able to try on Mettaton's dress, it is possible that Dress Lion is an allegory to being transgender.
Dress Lion appears after the conclusion of Mettaton's musical. They admire the dress that Mettaton wore during his stage performance, which inspires them to want to wear a dress too. If Mettaton is killed, they feel discouraged about something and do not want to talk to the protagonist.[1]
During the True Pacifist Route epilogue, Dress Lion is wearing Mettaton's dress. Mettaton gifted it to them after recognizing their voice from when they called in. Dress Lion expresses appreciation of the gift. They can be seen at the end of the True Pacifist ending credits watching Mettaton's stage show.
In Deltarune, Dress Lion wears a dress when not working, and is an employee in QC's Diner.
