Sans

Sans, also known as Smiley Trashbag and Sansy, is one of the major characters from the Undertale series.
== Charactah Account ==
A lazy skeleton who hates work and loves puns. He pops up here and there, usually touting some sketchy money-making scheme or offering to take you out for lunch. He also thinks the world of his brother, Papyrus.
Sans is laid back, often sleeping on the job and taking breaks. His laziness is a combination of fatalism and apathy. He wonders if his indolence stems from his knowledge that any progress he makes will be erased when the timeline resets. Conversely, he suggests that this knowledge could be "a poor excuse for being lazy."
Though Sans is usually agreeable, he becomes eerily serious at particular moments. He is also observant; Sans reads the protagonist's expressions and can often tell when they have already done certain tasks. He enjoys making skeleton-related puns and the fact that he performs at MTT Resort hints that he may be a talented comedian. He enjoys science fiction and loves to drink ketchup. He also hates making promises.

== Trivia ==
* Sans's name alludes to the typeface in which he speaks in: Comic Sans. This is a reference to Helvetica, a webcomic about a skeleton named after a font.
** In Japanese phonetics, Sans's name is homophonous with the name of the Sanzu River, a boundary between death and the afterlife in Buddhist lore which, like Sans, judges all who cross it for their deeds. The Sanzu River is also a recurring locale in the Touhou series, from which Toby drew inspiration for Undertale's bullet hell battles.
* If the player attempts to name the fallen human "Sans," the game responds with "nope." and prevents the name from being used.
* Sans appears to be left-handed. Evidence includes:
** Greeting the protagonist with a handshake using his left hand.
** Holding and drinking a ketchup bottle with his left hand while dining at Grillby's.
** Steering a tricycle using his left hand in the True Pacifist Credits.
** Manipulating gravity with his left hand in his battle.
* Sans speaks in all lowercase, not even capitalizing names or sentence starters, with a few exceptions. This may be a representation of how lazy he is.
* In a deleted tweet, Toby Fox said that Papyrus would use the term "Aniki," a Japanese slang used for older brothers or superiors. There are a multitude of interpretations for this as it does not give a clear answer. However, in the official Japanese translation released in 2017, Papyrus refers to Sans as "Nii-chan", a somewhat immature way of addressing one's older brother.
* When the "fun" value is between 45 and 50, Sans calls the protagonist in Snowdin Forest to ask if their fridge is running.
* There was a glitch in version 1.0 in which Sans would walk up off the screen at Grillby's when he took the protagonist there. His dialogue still appeared normally.
* In the Xbox version of Undertale, Sans mentions a "famous cherry" in regards to what the GamerBlood soda is made of. This is a potential reference to Merg, a YouTube channel that frequently plays Undertale fan games, as his icon depicts a cherry.
* Sans's line "on days like these, kids like you... Should be burning in hell." could possibly be a reference to a line said by Captain Strong in EarthBound, which goes "At times like this, kids like you should be playing Nintendo games."
** In addition, the first part of this quote is a direct reference to a quote of Asgore's on the Neutral Route.
* There are two unused overworld sprites of Sans in the game files, one showing him with his pupils (spr_sans_dangerous_0) and one showing him holding an ice cream.
* Sans also has an unused pose for his battle graphics, similar to his shrugging pose, but with clenched hands.
* In the 5th Anniversary Alarm Clock text, Undyne was talking about a hockey game everyone had played against her. Once Sans scored a goal, he went over to Alphys and did a "finger-pointy arm-crossy dance," implied to be the Fortnite emote Dance Moves, more commonly known as the Default Dance.
* Sans makes an appearance alongside Papyrus at the end of the Undertale Demo if the protagonist gained no EXP.
* Sans appears as a Mii costume for Mii Gunner in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The Gaster Blaster is used as the Mii Gunner's arm cannon. The Sans Mii Costume and MEGALOVANIA remix can be bought for $0.75.
** Sans is the first Mii Costume in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate to include a song with it.
*** One of the customizable Neutral Specials for the Mii Gunner, Laser Blaze, is shot from Sans' Gaster Blaster which heavily resembles the Blaster attacks in his bossfight.
**** Sans was supposed to have his glowing eye in the game, mostly likely to be used for his Final Smash attack. It is unknown why it was scrapped.
* Sans appears as a guest character in Pop'n Music UniLab.
