Theta Turtle

Description
The Theta Turtle is a turtle with the greek letter Theta (Θ) on its shell. It stands on an orange pod which either has a 2 or Delta Run on it. The Theta on it's shell changes color depending on what it is doing. When it's attacking, the theta becomes yellow, when defending, it becomes green, when falling, it's blue, when unable to move it is purple, and when it is red that means that Theta is not using magic.

Theta changes appearance slightly changes when attacked enough times or attacked in the Genocide Route. When this happens, Theta's eyes glow red and several red cracks in his shell appear. Four large hands appear wielding swords. These hands are projected from the pod Theta stands on.

Theta lives in the Dark Swamp, which is only accessible if the protagonist is aware of the Dark Swamp's existence, which will make them able to ask the River Person to take them there. Not finding the Dark Swamp will not affect a Pacifist or Genocide route, but if it is explored, befriending/killing the inhabitants is necessary for those routes.

Theta is at first tries to fight the protagonist, but is much nicer once spared. However, if fought enough he becomes angry at the protagonist, hating them personally instead of attacking them for Asgore.

Affiliations
Theta does as Asgore requests in exchange for money. As a result, knowing that Asgore, as well as most monsters in the Underground will need Human SOULs, he tries to kill the protagonist. However, he is hesitant about doing this until he feels the protagonist is against him or a threat to him personally.

Theta has helped the Royal Guard several times, which has caused him a lot of regret. This causes his attacks to not be very powerful in the First Phase of his Neutral Route fight. However, if he feels the protagonist is dangerous to him, then he will attack the protagonist with all of his power.

Strategy
Theta starts the fight normally. However, once hit 7 times, or the spare condintions are met, and then he's hit, no matter how much damage is done to him before that, he will go down to 1 HP, and shield himself. He then creates 10 hearts resembling Monster SOULs above him. To beat Theta, all of these SOULs must be destroyed through the Yellow SOUL mode.

Throughout the battle, Theta attacks by changing the opponents SOUL mode. Their Theta is usually yellow while they're attacking, but occasionally they will turn it blue to slam into the bullet board, causing rocks to fall.

To SPARE Theta, they must either be fought 7 times, Spared 5 times, or Talked to or Joked with 7 times. If attacked while these conditions are met, he will go into his second phase.
