::I don't see a problem calling Sans a skeleton; we don't call Pikachu or Jigglypuff's species "Pokémon," so why should we call Sans's species "monster"? Yes, there are no subclasses in Undertale, but Sans and pretty much the whole internet calls his species a "skeleton" - you don't see anyone say "Sans the monster."

:::I also think that within the context of ''Undertale'', "monster" is less of an actual race or species, and more of a generalization for "anything that isn't human"; it's mainly defined by similarities in their biology, such as having weaker SOULs than humans. That's similar to saying that Isabelle is both a ''dog'' and a ''mammal'', but we go with just ''dog''. With that in mind, I believe it's more appropriate to call him a "skeleton" (since this is what he refers to himself as) rather than a "monster" (which is the greater race he belongs to). I came up with "skeleton monster" as a compromise, but it's kind of clunky. ~ [[User:Serena Strawberry|<span style="color: #e68;">'''Serena Strawberry'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Serena Strawberry|talk]]) 19:33, September 15, 2019 (EDT) | :::I also think that within the context of ''Undertale'', "monster" is less of an actual race or species, and more of a generalization for "anything that isn't human"; it's mainly defined by similarities in their biology, such as having weaker SOULs than humans.

==Trivia== | |||
If we were to shorten the trivia selection as the cleanup suggests, it would probably make the most sense to remove all the easter eggs in his reveal trailer. After all, [[Team Rocket]] for example doesn't discuss the trailer at all in its trivia, so what makes Sans special?
