Undertale theory: Do the monsters in the Dark World not become dust when they die?

I noticed when I did my first playthrough of Deltarune that none of the characters (I think) mentioned turning to dust, not even in the Dark World. In fact, Lancer even brought that bucket in one part to hold the blood from when he thrashed The Fun Gang. You would have thought he would have said dust from when they died as well, but maybe he doesn’t know that monsters from the surface turn to dust in death? 

So we know that in Undertale at least, monsters turn to dust when they die. Does that happen to Dark World monsters too? Can they even die of natural causes? We can’t 100% know since I think it’s impossible to kill anyone in Deltarune’s first chapter.

I’m probably forgetting some dialogue in the game that suggests otherwise so please feel free to correct me on this! I just think that it’s interesting to think of the differences between monsters from the surface and the Dark World.
