Mr. "Ant" Tenna (Deltarune CH3)

Personality:   Mr. "Ant" Tenna, often simply referred to as Tenna, is the main antagonist of Deltarune Chapter 3. He is Kris' old household CRT TV as a Darkner. Tenna appears as a 3D humanoid figure with an old TV for a head, lacking any facial features aside from a wide, grinning mouth and a long pointed nose. His attire consists of a flashy red suit with twin coattails, a long yellow tie, black pants, large white gloves and bright yellow dress shoes. He is around twice as tall as the average person (as seen in the game). Personality Tenna is an upbeat and energetic show host who thrives on entertaining his audience by both flattering and challenging his contestants. Beneath his lively persona, however, he is deeply insecure and egotistical, prone to panicking when things don’t go as planned. He recalls fondly how, as a television in the real world, he once brought Kris, their family, and friends together to play games and watch shows. Now somewhat abandoned, Tenna struggles with feelings of worthlessness—fearing he’s no longer interesting, that he’ll be discarded, and that he’s completely alone. When confronted about his age, Tenna adamantly denies being "old." After the Trio discovers Toriel trapped inside a toy capsule, he spirals into panic and reacts by imprisoning them in capsules as well. His outbursts often turn destructive; he lashes out and fires his employees in bursts of anger, driven by his overwhelming fear of being forgotten and left behind. He does however, have a kind heart. Another part of his motivation behind forcing the Delta Warriors into his show was so that he could entertain them. He has a strong desire to entertain, and bring others together. Tenna is also seen to be rather enthusiastic and patient, as if you lose the physical challenges multiple times, he'll always ends his dialogue with "One more try! Let's CHALLENGE again!", demonstrating his confidence and faith. Main story Tenna makes his appearance shortly after Susie lashes out at Ralsei. He immediately attempts to force them into becoming contestants for his gameshow, "Mr. Ant Tenna's TV Time!". Susie initially refuses, causing him to grow sad, but after some convincing from Ralsei, still wanting to have fun with her and Kris, she gives in, perking Tenna up greatly. He leads them over to the right so they can prepare for the show. After the trio pick their names, Tenna introduces the first round: A 'board' of his game "Legend of Tenna". To win the board, the three must find three keys throughout the game. Tenna gives commentary and narration as they play. After they manage to open the door to the pyramid, Tenna transports the trio to the board's physical challenge: The Cooking Channel, where the trio are tasked with feeding guests while avoiding rolling fireballs. After the first board's completion, as the credits start rolling, Tenna roundhouse-kicks away the roll and desperately announces the existence of a second round in order to keep the show running. After a sponsor segment, Tenna introduces the trio to the Green Room, before leaving. If the player manages to obtain a T-rank (the highest rank possible), a special room opens up in the rewards room, where Tenna is seen rotating in a t-pose while doing a double peace-sign. Before the second round, Tenna is seen talking to someone who is presumably sending messages through Tenna's antennas, before noticing Susie. Tenna ends his conversation, and asks Susie what she needs. Susie responds thanking him, as the whole experience seemed to cheer up Ralsei. Tenna expresses joy at the fact. Susie mentions that Kris was having fun too, but Tenna has doubts. Tenna then hurriedly ushered her back to her friends to prepare to play the second round. The trio is then brought back to the stage as Tenna introduces the second round; another board of "Legend of Tenna". This time, the player will have to take 3 special photos and reunite 2 lovers at Lover's Peak to create a path to Atlantis Stadium. During the game, Tenna receives a message through his antennas, and temporarily leaves, allowing Susie to swap her controller with that of Kris, and potentially even Ralsei's as well, while no one is looking. Eventually, Tenna returns, but then leaves again right as Lanino and Elnina are about to "reunite" (this was not the case, as it was unexpectedly foiled by a forced union with and by Rouxls Kaard), then returning right as the trio enters Atlantis, he introduces the second physical challenge- Lightners Live, a rhythm game where the player controls Kris playing the guitar. After completion of the second board, Tenna will express sadness that it was the final round. However, as the credits roll, Tenna reveals that the three have unlocked the requirements for the secret bonus round. Ralsei initially refuse, but after seeing how depressed Tenna got, Susie agrees to play it, just for a little bit, which causes Tenna to perk up. Tenna can be found still on stage, talking to someone through his antennas. Susie along with Kris and Ralsei come in initially to let Tenna know that they can't stay for another round after the bonus, but overhearing his conversation causes Susie to become skeptical, and return to the Green Room. Returning to the stage with Kris will initiate an awkward conversation between Kris and Tenna. Tenna will attempt to end it and leave, but not before asking Kris if they could bring over Asgore and Asriel so that they can watch him together. After the party finds Toriel, Tenna begins approaching, so they hide behind her gachapon ball. Tenna, upon reaching Toriel, expresses relief she is still asleep, not knowing what he would do should she wake. He tells her he's sorry he has to keep her captive, but he has to in order to not end up thrown away. He picks her up, presumably to present her as the grand prize of the gameshow, when he finds the party hiding behind her. The screen then changes to "Technical Difficulties". When the screen returns to normal, Tenna and the party are back on stage. Tenna introduces the next round as if the run-in had never happened, but Susie, fed up with Tenna's antics along with the fact he's holding Toriel captive, tells him that they're done playing, and to return Toriel to them. Ralsei agrees with Susie (albeit more gently) that they need to seal the fountain, and that the show has gotten old. This angers Tenna, causing him to trap the Delta Warriors in custom made gachapon balls, forcing them to watch as he plays the third board for them, subjecting them to quizzes that adulate TV, battles where the only option is to ACT, and modified versions of Physical Challenges. Eventually, Tenna slips up and brings a Zapper to one of the fights, where the party is able to use it to pull a disappearing act on him, leaving behind only the empty gachapon capsules on the battlefield. Tenna, distraught at this turn of events, worriedly asks where the party members went and ends the battle, now desperately searching the area for the party. Just after he leaves, the party gets out of the pile of gachapon capsules that they were hiding in, and starts heading back towards the Cold Area, dealing with two-answer mini-quizzes and aggressive employees along the way. Tenna can be seen berating his employees for failing to find the party, almost firing them in rage, so he docks their pay until they're found. Though they wish not to fight the party, Tenna reminds them that that its part of their contract to listen to his orders, and follow him offscreen. If the player manages to find Tenna's bonus zone, he can be seen angry at the multiple Pippinses raiding his points.
