Temmie VRChat Avatar: Best Models, Where to Buy, and How to Upload

The little cat-dog from Undertale has no business being this popular in virtual reality — and yet, the Temmie VRChat avatar keeps showing up across worlds, streams, and creator storefronts years after Toby Fox first dropped her into his 2015 indie RPG.

So where do people actually get one? What do these models include? And is it worth spending money on one when free versions exist? Here is what is actually out there.

Who Is Temmie — and Why Does She Work So Well as a VRChat Avatar?

Temmie is a minor NPC in Undertale who speaks in broken text, runs a shop, and desperately wants to go to college. She is not the main character. She has maybe five minutes of screen time. And she became one of the most recognizable characters in the entire game.

Her design is simple: floppy ears, big round eyes, small body, an almost deliberately clumsy look. That simplicity translates well into 3D modeling. She does not require hyper-detailed textures or complex geometry to read correctly. A Temmie avatar in VRChat is immediately recognizable, expressive, and tends to land well in social spaces because of the character’s built-in chaotic energy.

The Main Options Available Right Now

🛒 Paid Models from Independent Creators

The most well-known option is the Stylized Temmie avatar by creator FizzyPS, sold on Gumroad and mirrored on Payhip. It is priced at $35 USD and comes as a Unity package ready for upload.

What is included:

• PC + Quest compatible build
• Two tail toggle options
• Outfit switching (two versions)
• Tem Flakes toggle (yes, really)
• Animated teacup with moving steam
• Gogo Loco locomotion system
• Full PhysBones support

Required tools for upload: Unity 2019.4.29, VRChat Creator Companion, and Poiyomi Toon Shader. The creator provides a README file with upload instructions.

A separate model by creator Nonehub, listed on itch.io, takes a more mature stylized direction and is built on Unity 2022 with SDK 3.0. That one includes Blender source files, multiple outfit variants (Deltarune, Teacher, Workout, TemShop, and others), and full SPS setup. Worth noting: it is an adult-rated model, so age restrictions apply.

🆓 Free and Lower-Cost Options

BOOTH has a Temmie-style model (listed as “Timmie undertale” by yumily16) available at a lower price point. It is 7MB, 45k polygons, Quest compatible, and includes two outfits, seven facial expressions, and blinking animation. The listing also provides a direct in-world VRChat preview link so you can see it before buying.

VRModels.store hosts both the FizzyPS model and the Nonehub model, with the FizzyPS version listed as free on that platform (login required to download).

What Makes a Temmie VRChat Model Actually Good

There are a few things worth checking before committing to any avatar file:

• PhysBones — Temmie’s ears should move. If the model has static ears, it loses a lot of the character’s charm.
• Facial expressions via gestures — Blendshapes tied to hand gestures let you cycle through emotions in-world. Good Temmie models include these.
• Performance rating — Heavy avatar files hurt frame rates for everyone nearby. The BOOTH model sits at 7MB and 45k polygons, which is reasonable. The Nonehub version is PC-only due to file size.
• Quest compatibility — If you or the people you play with use Meta Quest headsets, check the platform listing before buying. Not all Temmie avatars support Quest.

Upload Requirements: What You Actually Need

Getting a purchased avatar into VRChat is not plug-and-play. Here is the standard setup required for most Temmie avatar packages:

1. VRChat Creator Companion (VCC) — the current official tool for managing VRChat SDK projects
2. Unity 2019.4.29 (for FizzyPS model) or Unity 2022 (for Nonehub model)
3. Poiyomi Toon Shader — downloaded separately from the creator’s own page
4. A fresh Unity project to avoid asset conflicts
5. The avatar blueprint detached before upload (a common step people miss)

Most listings include a README or documentation covering this. If it is your first time uploading a VRChat avatar, set aside an hour and follow the included instructions carefully.

Terms of Service: What You Cannot Do

Every Temmie avatar listing comes with clear usage terms. Across all major listings, the consistent rules are:

• No redistribution — paid or free, do not share the files
• No reselling under any circumstance
• No claiming the model as your own
• Credit to the original game (Undertale / Deltarune by Toby Fox) is expected
• The Nonehub model specifically requires credit to the 3D creator as well

The FizzyPS listing also runs a blacklist system for people caught distributing without permission.

Where the Community Actually Discusses These

The VRChat subreddit, itch.io comment sections, and Discord servers tied to individual creators are the main places where people troubleshoot uploads, share screenshots, and talk about Temmie avatar builds. The Nonehub itch.io page alone has active comments covering known issues, particularly around Quest upload file sizes.

The Temmie VRChat avatar scene is small but active, with a handful of well-built options at different price points and compatibility levels. Whether you go with a $35 polished PC-and-Quest build or a BOOTH listing with a live preview world, the character translates to VR better than most people expect.
