10 Video Game Boss Transformations You Didn't See Coming
4. Photoshop Flowey - Undertale
Boss transformations don't get much more viscerally offputting than the emergence of Photoshop Flowey (aka Omega Flowey) at the end of Undertale's Neutral route.
Flowey is the first major character the player is introduced to at the start of the game, and with his resemblance to a smiling golden flower, he seems totally cute and harmless, right?
Even though it isn't long before Flowey attempts the kill the player and his true nature is seemingly revealed, those who play through the Neutral route will see a side of Flowey nobody could've ever in their right mind anticipated.
After absorbing the six human souls, Flowey will mutate into a nauseating, monstrous creature comprised of tendrils both mechanical and plant-like, human organs like eyes and a mouth, and even a damn TV display embedded among its machine-like entrails.
Even just looking at a still image of Photoshop Flowey is enough to induce goosebumps and activate the gag reflex, honestly. Above all else, it's proof that you don't need a AAA budget or massive staff of artists to produce a truly singular and unforgettable boss design.
