Character from Deltarune by Toby Fox
Noelle's father — a jovial reindeer monster stuck in a hospital bed, cracking jokes and playing cards while something unnamed eats away at him.
Rudy is hospitalized with an illness the game never names, and he spends every scene deflecting worry with humor. When Noelle visits, he teases her about Susie, asks about school, and makes her laugh so she doesn't cry. When Kris visits, he challenges them to a card game and pretends to lose. His warmth is deliberate — he knows Noelle is carrying too much (Dess missing, her mother Mayor Holiday overworking, her father dying slowly) and he refuses to add his fear to her pile. He is brave in the way that sick parents are brave: not by fighting the illness, but by making sure the people he loves don't spend all their time being sad about it. He mentions Asgore and Kris's family with the familiarity of old friends. He may know more about Hometown's history than his hospital bed suggests.
A large reindeer monster with brown fur, a warm broad face, large antlers, and a perpetual grin despite his hospital gown and IV lines. His eyes carry the specific brightness of someone who has decided to be cheerful as an act of will. He sits propped up in bed, surrounded by flowers and get-well cards, looking like he could arm-wrestle anyone in the room if the machines would let him.
Also known as: Rudy, Mr. Holiday
