Morte is a fictional character in the role-playing video game Planescape: Torment, voiced by Rob Paulsen. He appears as a sentient, levitating human skull with intact eyeballs. Morte accompanies the protagonist, The Nameless One, from early in the game as a party member. He serves as comic relief, and also provides a significant section of backstory. His offensive abilities consists of biting enemies as well as taunting his opponents. He has been overall very well received, and praised as one of the best sidekick characters in the PC gaming of that era.

The game's lead designer, Chris Avellone, described Morte as the player character's compass, encyclopedia, friend, and "resident jackass". Avellone said Morte's has gathered a large repertoire of insults over the centuries, he can taunt people to literally drop their guard and attack him relentlessly, which provides the player with further strategic opportunities. Morte is intentionally designed to be difficult for enemies to hit him, but packs a strong bite with his attacks in return.

A running gag in Torment is Morte's fondness for female zombie. The game's initial project director Guido Henkel said: "Let's say you're trying to sneak out of an area, when all of a sudden there a female zombie shows up. Morte, our nice little sarcastic skull, has a total thing for female zombies. He just has to shack up with them. And although you are trying to sneak out somewhere, Morte will walk right up to the zombie and start talking her up. That, of course, destroys your whole plan because you have no control over his actions at that point."

Morte is a "Chaotic good" floating human skull. Despite his lack of a body, he is a capable warrior in many respects, biting with his teeth and distracting foes with sarcastic taunts. His small size, lack of vital organs, and undead nature, protect him from attacks that would normally inflict serious wounds. It is shown that Morte and The Nameless One have something of a history together. His name is associated with the concept of "death" in the Latin language.

Morte has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
