Ok. Everyone thinks that Dess is the Roaring Knight. People are biased to that theory. But that is the reddest of herrings, redder than a pokeball or the reddest scizor or the heart when you love this project. Dess is not the Roaring Knight. People think "Oh the knight has antlers and a knife shaped like a bat so it must be Dess!" Well bats when broken don't shatter they dent. When you beat the Roaring Knight in chapter 3 and break the black knife, you get a black shard which is still the black shard in the light world. If it was a bat, it wouldn't break into black shards. Also many helmets have "antlers" on them. It's the same thing with chapter 3. People thought "Oh that TV is coming to life! Also Jevil mentioned Queen and Spamton mentioned Mike, so he is the main character in chapter 3!" But that is wrong, the main character is Tenna, and "Mike" is only in chapter 4. The Roaring Knight is papyrus. Who is also Rouxls. Here are my pieces of evidence: 1: Papyrus never answers the door. Why doesn't he answer the door even though Sans says that Kris should check on him? That is very sus. 2: The body structure. Papyrus's body structure is very similar to the Roaring Knight's, and also when lightners go into the dark world, the body structure is retained, and from what we know, Dess's body structure is nothing like the knight's. Plus the Roaring Knight's ribcage opens, hinting that he is a skeleton. 3: The initials. Papyrus rides a race car. How can that be spelled? Race kar. If you take the initials, it will spell RK, just like the Roaring Knight and also Rouxls Kaard. Plus Racecar is a palindrome, symbolizing that Papyrus has multiple identities. 4: Papyrus is linked to Gaster. Gaster is Sans and Papyrus's dad, and also Gaster, as seen in mysteryman has holes in his hands. Now, before you say mysteryman isn't Gaster, remember that all the FUN number stuff is linked to Gaster, like the goners and the wrong number song(he wants to speak to Gaster) and also the sound test room. The Roaring Knight also has holes in his hands. 5: Rouxls is left handed. You might be thinking that Rouxls is right handed and the Roaring Knight is left handed, so they can't be the same person. However, in chapter 2, Rouxls never uses his sword. Why? Also in chapter 3, Rouxls' hand is very wobbly, and Toby wouldn't have put that if Rouxls was right handed. 6: Rouxls has the power that a lot of darkeners don't. In chapter 2, when you interact with Rouxls it says "Thou gazeth upon a man most handsometh..." and ends with "hey let me speakst". He can literally sense the UI! Also, another thing: in chapter 2, he turns to stone, but not fully. Maybe he did that on purpose to stop the fight, and confront them later. He played the "good guy" act by helping the party and secretly wanted Berdly to create another dark fountain but Ralsei stopped him. Plus he forces himself into your pocket, and why? To create dark fountains. In chapter 4 he should still be in your pocket, but he wasn't in the dark world, except... he was, in his Roaring Knight form. He went out of your pocket in the church when Kris was in Noelle's house. There he created the fountain and called Kris. That is why Papyrus/Rouxls is the Knight, not Dess. Hope you like this! EDIT: I just realized something. Papyrus and Rouxls aren't the same person, they are both the Roaring Knight, meaning there are 2 Roaring Knights. First of all, Papyrus is being controlled by the man who made Jevil and Spamton go crazy. They went crazy because of the shadow crystals. The same thing happened with Papyrus, given his black knife is literally made of shadow crystals and black shards. Gerson didn't go crazy because he didn't even use the crystal. In chapter 1, the main castle town fountain was made by Papyrus, but the one next to it was made by Rouxls, that is why he was already there without being moved around, Papyrus was in the shelter. The reason Dess disappeared was because she was attacked by the Roaring Knight. The chapter 2 one was made by Rouxls, since he jumped out right before they actually went in and created the fountain quickly. In chapter 3, the one that attacks you is Papyrus, since Rouxls is with Elnina and Lanino. In chapter 4, Papyrus made the fountain, but the knight you actually see is Rouxls, and Papyrus was at the shelter. Also the man controlling him is Gaster, and Gaster channels determination through Papyrus and Rouxls, that is how Rouxls can make dark fountains. Edit 2: OK actually Rouxls isnt the knight, just Paps, and it has nothing to do with the RK thing. I also realized that the Roaring Knight doesn't have antlers because they are shaped much differently from Carol's, Noelle's, and Rudy's. He also doesnt use a bat, since it breaks into black shards, and bats don't break into black shards, bones do. Paps is being controlled by gaster. Also if you think that the knight is in a snowy place, Paps also lives in Snowdin.
