10 Video Game Characters Fans OBSESSED Over

3. Sans - Undertale

Considering Sans introduces himself in Undertale with a whoopee cushion prank, you would never expect this cheeky skeleton to become among the most celebrated gaming characters over the last decade.

But Sans has become so synonymous with Toby Fox's iconic indie game, it's virtually impossible to talk about Undertale without the conversation quickly steering towards this paunchy bang of bones.

However, calling Sans "popular" is an understatement. Sans has become so staggeringly famous, gamers went nuts when it was officially confirmed he would appear in Super Smash Bros: Ultimate... as a Mii Costume. Even though he wasn't an official character, this announcement still made fans lose their collective minds.

But what is it about Sans that captivates gamers? Honestly, it's a little bit of everything. His flippant attitude, juvenile humour, fluffy pink slippers, mysterious backstory, and epic theme song are among the many reasons why gamers gravitate towards him.

The fact that he also has among the most creative, funny, and difficult boss battles of all time is another reason why Sans has left a firm imprint on the gaming community.
