Oganesson isn't stable, though, and AFAIK its density isn't actually known.
Osmium, OTOH, is stable, and is known (and extremely high) density.

I thought you were referring to Claire calling him "noble".

Aww. :-D

If Oganesson were a gas at standard conditions (which is not at all clear), it would be the densest noble gas known to exist.
That is, for values of 'density' and 'noble' that can be applied to an element with a half-life measured in microseconds, that has been synthesized only in single numbers of atoms, and is expected to have a positive electroaffinity - which doesn't matter so much, since most chemical reactions happen on timescales beyond the half-life of Oganesson.

Osmium is a noble metal, though, that is the densest stable element known to exist.
