9. Asgore - Undertale

Despite serving as the penultimate enemy of Undertale, it's virtually impossible to dislike Asgore Dreemurr. Being the Ruler of the Underground, it's Asgore's sworn duty to break the barrier between worlds, allowing his people to gain access to the Surface.

To achieve this feat, Asgore must kill seven Humans and use their Souls to destroy the barrier. Basically, Asgore must kill to bring peace. Although tyrants regularly use this excuse to justify their evil intentions, Asgore takes no joy in his actions. Considering his people will be trapped in the Underground forever unless Asgore breaks the barrier, he's in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario.

Even though he's trying to kill you, you know that every aspect of his personality stems from a pure place. He brings hope to the denizens of the Underground. He loves gardening. He eats butterscotch pie. He says "golly"! Have you ever heard of an evil person say "golly?"

Asgore may be your enemy but he is far from wicked. He is a loving person who's been forced to make an impossible choice to save his people.
