About

Asgore Running Over Dess refers to a series of videos, animation memes and fan art around a prominent fan theory from the video game Deltarune, with fans theorizing that the character Asgore Dreemurr killed Dess Holiday in a car accident. Asgore Dreemurr is Kris and Asriel’s father, a former police chief and the current owner of a flower shop. Dess Holiday is the older sister of Noelle Holiday, and though she is frequently mentioned, she never appears in-game and is implied to be missing or possibly deceased. Fan theories about how Asgore Dreemurr may have been responsible for Dess's death began making the rounds in 2021, partly informed by Asgore's murderous counterpart in Undertale, and partly inspired by the theory that Dess is the Roaring Knight. By June 2025, fan works depicting Asgore Dreemurr running over or hitting Dess Holiday with a vehicle began making the rounds online, with one scene from the 2006 animated film Open Season being used as a base template for reanimations and edits. The meme subsequently evolved to depict other characters behind the wheel.

Origin

Deltarune fans began discussing the possibility that Asgore Dreemurr may have killed Dess Holiday as early as September 2021, with Redditor /u/degraffa posting, "I think Deltarune's Asgore may have killed Noelle's sister Dess," to the subreddit /r/Deltarune[1] on September 18th, 2021.

An early artistic representation of the "Asgore Running Over Dess" theory is a July 12th, 2022, post by Tumblr[2] user @dessbian, who wrote, "sorry I cannot take the 'asgore hit dess with his car' theory seriously because I just picture this," showing Dess in the Peter Griffin Death Pose.
