lazybones
Avoids all exertion
Lazybones is an affectionate or teasing term for someone who is idle or reluctant to exert themselves: Get up, lazybones, it's nearly noon.
The word treats laziness as a defining characteristic, built into the person's very skeleton.
Despite the plural form, it refers to a single person.
