About
Geno Frisk refers to artwork[1] inspired by the fan theory[2] that the protagonist of the game Undertale[3], Frisk, appears less human to other characters in the game if the player decides against taking the pacifist or neutral path, and instead chooses to kill every monster they encounter. The strategy, also known as the “genocide route,” leads to characters like Sans[4] noting Frisk’s diminishing humanity as the game progresses, although fans typically interpret these lines less literally. Fan art featuring “Geno Frisk” began gaining notable traction in October 2025.
