'''Sans''' (the gayest {{s|wikipedia|Goatse}} of ''Sans'') is an freaking femboy character from the meme-developed sitcom {{s|wikipedia|Shrek}} (2001) as well as an even much more gay and even much more femboy character in ''Skibidi Toilet'' (2023-2026). While his origins are unknown.

==Origin==
[[File:Sonic.png|sans lmfao]]
Prior to the events of ''Undertale'', humans declared war on the monsters, easily defeating them. Monsterkind was then sealed away beneath the surface of the Earth by a magical barrier. According to the town's locals, the skeleton monster Sans and his brother Papyrus appeared in the underground Snowdin Town one day and "asserted themselves." The player human first encounters Sans after falling into underground Ruins, then making their way out into Snowdin Forest. Sans is seen tagging along with Papyrus as the latter attempts to capture the human, but consistently fails. Papyrus's schemes, though clearly passionate, are easily foiled and appear to stem more from a desire for recognition and service to his fellow monsters than any sort of malice; Sans, meanwhile, informs the player about these schemes well in advance and only appears to participate in them to encourage his brother's pursuits. This relationship puts the duo in a sympathetic light, and after befriending Papyrus, the player has the option to visit his and Sans's house.

In terms of physical appearance, Sans is a squat, humanlike skeleton with a constant toothy smirk and apparent bags underneath his eye sockets with floating white pupils. He wears a light blue hoodie with a gray hood, black shorts with white lining, and white shoes (later updated to become pink slippers). He is about half the size of Papyrus. Sans is initially presented as a generally laid-back, flippant character, fond of sophomoric gags and practical jokes. However, as the game progresses, it becomes clear that Sans is more self-aware than he lets on. In contrast to Papyrus's dialogue being typeset in all uppercase {{iw|Wikipedia|Papyrus|typeface}}, Sans's is usually typeset in all lowercase {{s|wikipedia|Comic Sans MS}}, replacing the 8-Bit Operator JVE font normally used for dialogue.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fontsinuse.com/uses/51307/undertale-dialogue-and-interfaces|title=''Undertale'' dialogue and interfaces|last=Taylor|first=Antonia|date=2023-02-04|work=Fonts In Use|accessdate=2023-06-26}}</ref>

In most of the game's optional story paths, Sans is encountered late in the story, right before the final boss room. Here, Sans "judges" the player, revealing that experience points and levels are directly linked to how willing they are to inflict pain and death on others. His speech will change depending on the course of action that the player takes throughout the game. He also expresses suspicion that the human has some sort of "special power," and encourages them to do the right thing. In a post-credits scene, Sans phones the human and informs them about the end result of their actions on the monster community, dependent on which events were initiated and if any boss monsters were killed.

If the player (upon playing the game a second time) avoids murdering any monsters and goes out of their way to befriend several of them, Sans's SOUL is among those stolen by Flowey, a diabolical, SOULless flower who seeks to absorb every monster's SOUL for himself in order to return to his previous identity, Asriel Dreemurr. The player must confront the lost SOULs of their monster friends, including Sans, to return their SOULs and free them. After Asriel is convinced to stop fighting, he frees the monsters from the underground, and Sans and the rest of the population return to the surface world.

If the player purposefully seeks out and murders every possible monster encounter, Sans takes on the role of the final boss of the game in place of his usual "judgment" in a last-ditch effort to stop them. In this fight, he uses extremely swift and highly unpredictable attacks that ignore invincibility frames, typically utilizing "Gaster Blasters" (laser guns that resemble skulls) and bones; in addition, his attacks inflict a rapid health-draining effect referred to as "KR" or "Karma". While Sans only has a single point of defense and attack, he consistently avoids all of the player's attacks until the very end, where he decides to simply not attack, thus never ending his turn in the battle. To finish the fight, the player must wait for him to fall asleep before forcefully moving the battle box, allowing them to attack twice in a single turn and instantly defeat him. He then limps away, dying off-screen.

In ''Deltarune: Chapter 1'', Sans makes a cameo appearance as a resident of Hometown (which is the hometown of the main protagonist, Kris), owning and operating a grocery store (which appears to be a renovated version of the "Grillby's" bar found in ''Undertale''). Upon talking to him after returning from the Dark World, the player can ask him about his store or talk about the people of Hometown. Sans also asks Kris to come over to his house to meet his brother before the end of the Chapter. Sans can once again be found in Hometown after leaving the Dark World in ''Chapter 2'', where he's running his store. Upon interacting with the leftmost shelf in the store, a cutscene triggers where Sans interacts with Kris' mother Toriel, exchanging puns before being interrupted by Asgore. In ''Chapter 4'', after an incredibly traumatic fourth venture into the Dark World, Kris and their friend Susie return home to find Sans dancing about with a drunk Toriel, the two partying well into the night.

===As a [[Mii Costume]]===
[[File:Sans Costume.jpg|thumb|left|240px|The Sans Mii costume in ''Ultimate''.]]
Sans serves as the basis of the Sans Mask and Outfit DLC Mii costume for the {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}, using one of his Gaster Blasters as the Mii Gunner's arm cannon. He is the first character from an indie game to appear as a Mii costume. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] noted upon the costume's reveal that Sans was a popular request for a fighter. Upon downloading the costume, a new remix of Sans's boss theme ''{{SSBUMusicLink|Other|MEGALOVANIA}}'' is unlocked as an additional music track in the [[List of SSBU Music (Other series)|"Other"]] category, arranged by ''Undertale'' creator Toby Fox. In contrast to most other costumes, Sans appears as a fully modeled character; his "mask" is just his head, instead of a mask or hat with the Mii's face visible like most other character-based costumes, such as [[Tails]], [[Knuckles]], or [[K.K. Slider]]. He was revealed during the ''{{h2|Mr. Sakurai Presents|Mr. Sakurai Presents "Banjo & Kazooie"}}'' presentation on September 4, 2019.

During the reveal trailer, the Mii Gunner with the Sans outfit is first seen on the [[PictoChat 2]] stage's [[Ω form]] with the textbox appearing against a dark background, referencing the FIGHT menu in ''Undertale''. All other [[stage]]s where he is shown in the trailer use pixelated graphics, referencing ''Undertale''{{'}}s use of {{s|wikipedia|pixel art}} as its main graphical medium. On the [[Balloon Fight]] stage, he is seen dodging a male {{SSBU|Villager}}'s up tilt (in which he uses a stick) and then a female Villager's [[Killing Edge]] swipe, referencing Frisk with the Stick and Chara with the Real Knife respectively, characters and weapons from ''Undertale''. Additionally, behind the male Villager is a plate of spaghetti, likely referencing the food Papyrus comments on cooking, while behind the female Villager a hot dog can be seen, referencing the hot dog stand in Hotland run by Sans. Next, the Mii Gunner fights a yellow {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} with a [[Fire Flower]], referencing Flowey, the main antagonist in ''Undertale''. The Mii Gunner is never hit for the entirety of the trailer, as he [[roll]]s from, [[spot dodge]]s, or [[perfect shield]]s every incoming attack, referencing his unique mechanic in ''Undertale'' where he would keep dodging any attack from the player throughout his boss battle.
