==Overview==
Sans is a paunchy skeleton from UNDERTALE. He is a major character who has many roles in the story and as one of the most recognized UNDERTALE characters. He is a supporting character in the Pacifist and Neutral Routes (well, some of them, anyways) and a heroic antagonist in the Genocide Route.

Sans is really lazy. Like, really lazy. He is often found by Papyrus sleeping on the job. He says at one point during the game that he can time travel, and so he knows all progress he makes will be lost due to the timeline reseting. This is why he does not work. He mentions this in game.  
Sans is really lazy. Like, really lazy. He is often found by Papyrus sleeping on the job. He can be considered to be clinically depressed, in fact. One of his excuses about this is his knowledge of the existence of timeline shenanigans, keeping him from being motivated to make any progress that he knows will be lost when the timeline resets; this is why he does not work. Though he has intricate knowledge of how time works, he has not shown any ability to actually remember anything across timelines, not even vague intuitions or premonitions; he makes up for this with an almost-supernatural skill at interpeting facial expressions.


Although normally agreeable, he is seen to be... eerily serious at times, like commenting on the player having a bad time, or seriously explaining the flower thats been talking to Papyrus.  Other than that, he is a SERIOUS prankster. He can pull off large pranks. Some of them make no sense however. Like fried snow, which doesn't make sense and is impossible to make. He also stacks 30 hot dogs on the players head if they try to buy a hot dog when they're inventory is full.

His appearances are the same as the pacifist route (unless the player has started a genocide route but aborts it in Snowdin when fighting Papyrus) and he helps the player a little.  He will judge the player by how much LV they have gained at the end of the game.

He appears as normal in Snowdin, but after the "Gauntlet of Deadly Terror" he tells the player they will have a bad time. He then appears at the Final Corridor as the Final Boss. He dodges attacks until he is finally hit by a knife slash.

He dodges attacks until he is finally hit by a knife slash. However, he is the hardest boss in the game, as his attacks completely bypass your invulnerability frames, and instead the game converts damage to Karma (KR)

* Attempting to name the fallen human Sans prompts the message "nope" and prevents it from being used.

* Sans's presence as the final boss of the Genocide Route has given him an inordinate fandom presence.
