Other Stuff- Tenna can consciously scale himself up or down in order to better fit any environment he might happen to be placed. However, his size is also easily affected by his mood -- when he's very happy or extremely incensed, he tends to grow larger; when he's sad or depressed, he tends to shrink down considerably. Emotional shifts are not a conscious act on his part and may need to be called out to prevent structural damage.
- He's rarely, if ever called by his proper first name. The nickname "Ant" is only ever mentioned once in his theme song and while he'll respond to it as quickly as he would with either Mr. Tenna or just Tenna, calling him "Anthony" is a good way to get an odd look from him.
Especially if you're not a certain mailman.It's been a long time since anyone has referred to him in that way. - Years of broadcasting various kinds of cooking shows for Toriel's entertainment means he's become quite the accomplished cook! He even likes to look up new recipes and try them out all on his own from time to time. Should he be hosting a dinner, you can always bet on his meals being worth three Michelin stars in quality! He's also an accomplished drink mixer, but he usually prefers being served them as opposed to making them himself.
