*As explained in the game's introduction, both humans and monsters lived on Earth. The idea of a monster having knowledge of the Sun is far from outlandish (especially for Boss Monsters, who lived for far longer). Undyne even mentions the word "sunlight" before Sans speaks in the very same cutscene, confirming this point.

*Finally, {{h2|SW:NOT|SmashWiki is not speculative}}. Relying on theories and other unofficial information to assert a point is discouraged and should thusly be avoided (the page has a message warning editors for this reason, specifically of a theory which also uses Sans' knowledge of the Sun as an argument).

::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)
==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?

:I was explaining this on the Discord but this has nothing to do with implying Toby Fox is personally reading SmashWiki; rather, he simply seems to have [https://web.archive.org/web/20160629100837/https://twitter.com/tobyfox/status/697187914774618113 more or less] [http://radiation.fobby.net/halloween/ disowned] the Halloween Hack and it seems unnecessary to bring up.
