Reed boats and rafts, along with dugout canoes and other rafts, are among the oldest known types of boats. Often used as traditional fishing boats, they are still used in a few places around the world, though they have generally been replaced with planked boats.

Characters of <i>Undertale</i> and <i>Deltarune</i>

The fantasy role-playing video game Undertale was developed by Toby Fox, and takes place in a universe where humans and monsters once coexisted, but have long been forgotten in the modern world. The game's main character is a human child who falls into the Underground, a large cave below Mount Ebott where the monsters were trapped by human wizards following an ancient war and seek to escape.

In Deltarune's universe, humans and monsters still coexist in the modern day. The main character, Kris, discovers an alternate realm known as the Dark World with beings called Darkners brought to life from objects originally from the Light World, and embarks on a quest to close the Dark Fountains before the real world is overtaken by darkness.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Papyrus (Undertale)</span> Undertale character

Papyrus is a character introduced in the 2015 video game Undertale. He is a skeleton with a large ego who aspires to join the Royal Guard, and also the brother of Sans and friend of Undyne. He is eternally optimistic, and despite wanting to capture the human to prove himself, finds himself befriending the human instead. He does not appear in Deltarune, but has been alluded to. He was created by Toby Fox with support from Temmie Chang. He was originally envisioned as a creepy person who wears a fedora and has no redeeming qualities, though Fox did not like this idea, so he scrapped it. His character communicates with the papyrus typeface, which had to be changed to a "faux hand-drawn vertical script" when translated into Japanese. He was inspired by the webcomic Helvetica, which featured a skeleton named Helvetica. His theme, "Bonetrousle", was created for a cancelled video game before being reused as Papyrus' theme.
