My Favorite FNaF Animatronic From Each Game and Why

[@thelastchannelonyoutube]

My favorite is Mangle because according to the lore, Mangle was a broken foxy animatronic, but instead of throwing it out, the restaurant kept it and hastily repurposed it as Mangle. I always found that really funny because it implies that the restaurant is so low budget and/or irresponsible that they’d rather let kids play with broken machinery rather than fix or replace it. Edit: I just started looking at the replies to this after two months and oh my god, I did not expect this much arguing. It appears the Mangle fandom is not as harmonious as I thought.

[@DeadBunny7878]

Well they did fix Mangle multiple times, but the kids would always break her even worse than the last time. To the point that the workers refused to fix her again, and then they simply messed with the design so she would be a relatively safe pull apart attraction

Personally, I find withered chica from FNAF 2 is such an underrated character design. When you see her on the cameras, it’s just so eerie and creepy. The way her eyes just continuously stare, popping out of their sockets is so unnerving. The scarecrow sort of stance with her arms partially ripped off is such a unique pose, unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. And her jaw is just, *uehchgh.*

I have always loved Funtime Freddy. I went to meet Kellen Goff (his voice actor) a few weeks ago and i asked him what his inspiriation for his voice was and i think he summerized the character amazingly. He said, "I thought of a voice kids would love but parents would be scared of."

Makes sense, all kids would see is a friendly face, but the adults would see..uh..something else I guess lol. I like his idea. The kids have no clue what the parents are thinking and the parents are just like: “Yeah I’m fine, let’s just um..see Funtime foxy? You like Funtime foxy right?”

[@Blake_murray16]

Honestly, I really love Mangle, the idea that they were a full animatronic originally that got torn apart by kids is so cruel yet interesting, their radio static of a voice because their voice box is damaged, their second head that could be anything, the way they hang from the ceiling of all places before attacking you, it’s very fascinating to see, especially in Fnaf help wanted where you get to see them actively crawling on the ceiling. Overall a great character

[@FinalBraincell]

I agree, Mangle is my favorite too. While other animatronics at least appear a little more human by walking on two feet, Mangle just crawls everywhere like a beast. And their damaged body makes you think that this is some kind of demonic creature that wants to have revenge for all the pain and humiliation they had to go through.

Another thing about Springtrap in fnaf 3 is the color pallet. I see a lot of people complain about fnaf 3 green/yellow color pallet but it helps springtrap immensely. Most of the time the mere act of seeing him on the camera is a challenge in-and-of-itself, it’s gives the impression that he truly could be anywhere at any time

[@ju87d-3stuka7]

I agree with you. Fnaf 3 is my favorite Fnaf game because it actually feels unnerving. All the other Fnaf games don't feel particularly unnerving, but Fnaf 3 does give me one thing that I love. It tells a story. I have always loved seeing old buildings or machines because if there is one thing you know about them, it's that they once had life. Those buildings were full of people, and those machines once moved. Fnaf 3 gives me that story. The idea of Fazbear's Fright being the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria after 30 years of decay is amazing. The building is empty and worn out, but yet you know that the building was once full of children and adults. Those same lifeless machines that have wires hanging out of them were once singing to a crowd of children on a nicely lit stage. That's what I like about Five Nights at Freddy's 3.

[@zenoluvswof9936]

I completely agree, especially because unlike other enemies, Springtrap still has the mind and complex thought of a murderer, and not only do his colors hide him, he also purposely hides on the cameras to try and not be spotted by you

Withered Bonnie got even better in Ultimate Custom Night, his joking but cynical personality really suiting this imposing, broken-down children's entertainment robot missing his face and an arm. Plus, him saying "What is this prison, is it me trapped, or is it you" raises some super interesting questions regarding if Cassidy is keeping the rest of the spirits around to torment Afton or if it's merely him being cynical.

On your note on W. Bonnie leaning to one side, that kind of thing helps make the animatronics feel more robotic and less human. When one side of you is weighed down, you will naturally lean the opposite way to balance yourself. But when you're a robotic animatronic not designed to be weighed down, you won't do that. Can't believe I never noticed this.

[@boiboi5591]

As much as I do admit Roxy was a great character. I think Daycare Attendant was way more interesting. The fact that you start off out of nowhere with this over the moon excitement for another person feels so unnerving. And his desperate attempts for us to come back when we go behind the desk only for him to start going into madness as the lights go out revealing his other persona which by the way hunts you down the entire game. And when you finally turn on the last generator just makes him disappear feels so uncomfortable yet calm. And then your just left all alone with the same music playing in the background only for him to literally toss you out when your about to leave into immediate danger. Another really close call was DJ Music Man because his chase segments were so hot

One of the main reasons Roxy stood out the most to me besides the “attracted to toxic women” and “I can fix her” mentalities was that she was the only one that had a fleshed out personality. Plus, Security Breach finally but briefly gave us an instance of the animatronics interacting with one another. Her telling Freddy to get out of her room gives off annoyed older sibling vibes and I’m all for it since it in a way it solidifies how they see each other as friends/family. The Ruin DLC adds even more to her character, which I wouldn’t be surprised if you said she was your favorite in that game too, then again the mimic isn’t a bad option either.

[@connorr8071]

Honestly, I don't think the Mimic holds a candle to Ruined Roxy, but that's just my personal opinion.

[@pinkcupcake4717]

Ruin makes Roxy go from good to great. We get to see her real personality, a cool older sister type that's comforting and encouraging. Someone a little kid can look up to and idolize. Also, it's a fun touch that cool and tough Roxy is the hair and makeup girl, and not more peppy and "girly" Chica, who's main thing is exercise.

FNaF1: Foxy, due to how different his mechanics and look is compared to the other characters. FNaF2: Withered Chica was pretty terrifying in this game, being forced in one pose with that giant gaping jaw with the very small pupils is just unsettling. FNaF3: Springtrap, cause I mean. Come on. FNaF4: Nightmare Freddy has always fascinated me, having multiple nightmare plushies connected to him, making him seem like a deadly virus, and him being the only character that's in your room from start to finish. SL: Funtime Freddy just had this unhinged personality that as soon as I heard it, it made me fall in love with the character. The fact that he has a hand puppet as emotional support also just cracks me up. FFPS: Scrap Baby was always a standout, the fact she was rejected and came back with older parts from her previous body shows her desperation. And I mean, come on, that claw hand is really cool! HW: Dreadbear just is the perfect way to give Nightmare Freddy a Halloween skin, since he was one of the two characters to not have a Halloween DLC skin. Yes, Grimm Foxy exists, but Nightmare Mangle came first. SB: While I may get some flack for this, I really LOVE how Monty was executed in this game. Just the mystery of Glamrock Bonnie going missing, but if you demolish chica first in the og version, monty was one of the most terrifying enemies due to the fact you cannot stop him. And that feeling of finally going through that CRAPPY Mazersize segment and destroying him was incredibly satisfying. Plus it was never entirely clear if he could still move, so when DanTDM found Monty destroyed in the arcade, he freaked the hell out of him! Honestly one of my favorites!

[@hbudson1248]

My favorite of each game, and a brief little talk as to why: Fnaf 1: Golden Freddy. I love the mystery this character created. We knew NOTHING at first and still his nature remains largely an enigma. The fact he's an uninhabited suit makes him very unique and- yeah, Fnaf 1 definitely had my favorite look for him. He fits within the established design conventions while still looking ghostly, spectral, above the others in some way Fnaf 2: The Puppet. I love the air of importance this character has, her universal presence in most of the minigames, the post night cutscenes, and in gameplay. The idea of the one in control literally being a puppet is an irony I enjoy as well Fnaf 3: Springtrap, it's obviously Springtrap, probably my favorite character in the series. I still remember initially realizing "wait...are those human guts?" when playing the game, and the shock of realizing this was William the whole time added another layer of horror to him Plus I got one of the rare screens at one point. Nightmares ensued. Speaking of nightmares Fnaf 4: Nightmarrione. CRIMINALLY underrated character similar to Nightmare, in my opinion. Such a, frankly, horrifying design while avoiding the issue of seeming too "tryhard" people have with the other nightmares. Those tentacle limbs are freaky when they're still, but in motion in Help Wanted...SCREW that, dear god Sister Location: Ennard. I fully agree with you about Ennard, for all of the same reasons really, so I won't go too far into it. His design is a bit gross, and I've seen people take issue with that, but I think that's the point. This writhing mass of wires with a vaguely human face SHOULD be one of the most unsettling things in the series Pizza Sim: Scrap Baby. I love that Baby actually gets to be a threat to us now, and a major one at that. Separating her from Ennard was an interesting idea, and we get a terrifying and cool design out of it. The rollerskates and the claw arm are favorite aspects of mine Help Wanted: Glitchtrap, has to be. This is a character who's design and story role are both unlike anything we've ever seen before. He's a return to the simpler designs of Fnaf 1 that I think is great to see, while also being VERY standout. Not my favorite Springtrap look, but definitely the most...unnerving Security Breach: Monty. I'm gonna be honest, the main reason for this one is how strong I feel the design is. I think he is the most believably scary of the 4 Glamrocks (which granted isn't saying much), and the lore of him dismantling Bonnie entirely unprompted reinforces that, and is also just interesting

[@screamingopossum7809]

1) I can get behind that. At the time he was just an easter egg and we didn't know much about him. That fact that Ultimate Custom Night gave us more insight to Golden Freddy and what he is is cool revelation. 2) Agreed. Her importance to the overall story hinges on the fact she was the first victim. The entire series started with her. 3) I remember the fans speculating around Springtraps design and going "IS THAT A SKULL?!!" and then the realization that there is a person inside of Springtrap. Then during the minigames when we realize it was Purple Guy (at the time we didn't have a name) and the fans went wild. 4) I never ran into Nightmarrione and never saw any lets players run into it either, probably because it was only for the Halloween edition. I didn't even know it was a FNAF 4 character until recently. SL: My favorite is Baby due to her significance both as being the first voiced animatronic and her being one of the first animatronics to NOT be a villain. I DO understand why people like Ennard so much though. HW: I feel like he's the defacto. He's really the only animatronic that has any significance because the game is meant to be a coverup for the events of the past few games. However still continuing the story by making Glitchtrap, telling us "the events of the series DID happen. Afton still exists, and he's still has malevolent as ever. This company is just trying to cover it all up". SB: It's very hard for me to get a favorite character, as I feel the Glamrocks are some of the weakest in the series. They hold absolutely no lore relevance, they weren't made for a specific purpose they just are, they're not possessed by anyone and if Afton is possessing them it's VERY hard to tell, they just exist to be bad guys with Glamrock Freddy being an enigma. Vanny at least as a reason for existing, it's similar to Saw.

@@yallrfatuglyandunattractive It's mainly due to the fact there are so little animatronics in the game that there should be a reason for them. The toys are there with their facial recognition to call the police if Afton comes and one of them are responsible for the bite of 87 (probably Mangled). They have a reason to be there. Shadows are Easter Eggs and Shadow Bonnie isn't even it's real name. Phantoms are there more for mechanics purposes because without them the games already easy enough. The Rockstars I can get behind but reminder, it's a Pizza Tycoon game with the set goal of luring the animatronics that scare you during the night. You're building a Freddy Fazbear Pizza Place, so it makes sense to have the "up to date" versions of the Freddy Gang. You start off buying knock off animatronics to get the money to buy them, hence the mediocre melody. Security Breach is none of that. The Pizza Complex is an official Freddy Fazbear Pizza place. So outside of being the reason Glamrock Bonnie was scrapped, Monty is just THERE and Foxy isn't mentioned anywhere. With there being 6 animatronics in the game (4 Glamrocks, The Blob, and Burntrap, not including the security robots and endos and Vanny is just a Furry), 7 if you count DJ Music Man (which I'm not arguing his role as a character outside of the game, 8 if you count Sun/Moondrop that effectively do nothing, there should be a reason for why those characters were made/added in that isn't for the lols, especially for a FNAF game. FNAF has always had reasons for certain characters especially when the cast is limited. Roxy and Monty are there just to add new characters to the lineup to be antagonists. If we saw them progressively being possessed by Afton with purple light, smoke, ANYTHING I wouldn't be saying this. But they're just there to be annoying. Replacing any of the Glamrocks excluding Freddy would serve the same purpose. Also the glitching around Vanny still doesn't have an in game reasoning. In a first person game, when were seeing out of Gregory's eyes, his vision goes funky whenever Vanny is there. That's never been addressed in the game.

(Haven’t played VR though, that might be the scariest just because it’s VR.) Thanks for being respectful about your opinion, don’t see that a lot.

[@shrimpdan2557]

This video honestly makes me want to go into my own personal favorite characters from each game myself, so here goes. FNAF 1: Foxy was the character I got the most attached to of the main roster. There's such an air of mystery around him -- how run-down he is, how he only moves when he's not being looked at, the "OUT OF ORDER" sign in front of Pirate's Cove. The shot of him right as he's about to run from Pirate's Cove where he's crooked in such an unnatural way is incredibly eerie. He comes off as the most unstable of the animatronics and even though he's a pretty simple threat to deal with, that feeling of pure unadulterated terror when you see that he's *not there* leaves an impact none of the other FNAF games quite replicate. FNAF 2: Yeah my favorite is also Withered Bonnie. His design is the one that's easily the scariest to me for all the reasons you explained -- his lack of face, how he leans to one side, and just how fucking massive he is. Even minor things like the loose wires hanging from his missing arm freaks me out. I wish he was a little more unique as well, but his design in general is probably my favorite in the whole series. FNAF 3: Springtrap is the only valid answer here, but I do genuinely love the character for, again, most of the same reasons you've stated both here and in other videos. The twist where it's revealed that Springtrap is William Afton is an utterly series-defining moment that acts as both a shocking twist, and a straight shot of catharsis at seeing this piece of shit murderer in agony. That said, I actually disagree with your take on how he's handled in Pizzeria Sim. I do not like his PIzzeria Sim design at all mind you, but Afton's reason for killing the children was to discover how to achieve immortality. In a way, by becoming Springtrap, Afton won, even though he lives in constant agony. That makes the ending of Pizzeria Sim even more cathartic to me, seeing him burn and his soul finally be sent to hell for him to be tortured for eternity. It's a very fitting end for the character and it makes me disappointed that Security Breach ended up retconning that. FNAF 4: Design-wise, Nightmare Foxy is my favorite. Even though he doesn't have much going on as an actual character, Nightmare Foxy is, in my opinion, the best designed of the Nightmares. The lack of faux fur on his snout exposing his teeth and mouth structure, his serpentine-like tongue, and how he mirrors FNAF 1 Foxy in gameplay and instability makes him fairly interesting to me. Sister Location: ...yeah I like Funtime Foxy. All of the SL animatronics are amazing, but Funtime Foxy just stuck with me. The way he stares at the cameras in the Custom Night mode, his demeanor and personality in UCN that's pretty much a more hyped-up and charismatic version of Foxy with a game show host vibe makes me really adore him. He's like if Mettaton was a horror game character and I live for that. Even though characters like Circus Baby and Ennard are more important to the overall lore, I just love Funtime Foxy way too much to not want to talk about him. Pizzeria Simulator: I honestly don't have many strong opinions on the Pizzeria Sim characters, but Molten Freddy is easily the scariest to me. Something about loose wires freaks me the fuck out, and Molten Freddy perfectly achieves that being the tangled mess that he is. His unhinged jaw, razor sharp teeth, and single red eye, on top of hearing his distant laughter as he crawls through the vents, makes him the most viscerally terrifying PS character to me. [I don't really like any of the Help Wanted animatronics lmao] Security Breach: Monty. It's Monty. I fucking love Monty. Even though he's similar to Roxanne in a lot of ways, for me personally, Roxy was always bogged down by her angst factor. She doesn't really feel scary to me (prior to her being decommissioned), more just pathetic. But Monty fixes all of that. He's raw power, he KNOWS he's raw power, and nothing can stop him once his sights are set on you. You can't stun him, you can only run and hide and HOPE he goes away. The way he speaks to Gregory knowing full well how much more powerful he is just left an impact on me. He also has the best voice lines, jumpscare, animations... even though he's basically a joke once he gets decommissioned, that doesn't make me love him any less. It's simultaneously cathartic and horrifying how he screams in pain when you hit him with the Fazer Blaster, and I absolutely ADORE the little touch with him death rolling you in that state. Monty just hits all the right marks for me -- being an intimidating threat while simultaneously having a ton of personality and charm to him. Even if he's not as scary as Decommissioned Roxanne, I just adore him as a character too much to not gush about him. He's very, very well-designed.

Springtrap is ultimately my favorite overall, even if I think he could be greatly improved. Honestly I always loved his jumpscare, even though many dislike it. It makes sense. A child is the type to jump and yell to scare someone, hence why 99% of all the animatronics do just that. They're children. But Afton isn't there for a cheap scare and some revenge. He's there to tear you apart for no other reason than entertainment. Hell it isn't even a scream he emits, it's more akin to a sigh of satisfaction that he finally wormed his way to you instead. Not to mention the fact that he *knows* who you, the player, are in the story. Yet he rips you up anyways. His own son. For no rhyme or reason, for no purpose only than his own pleasure.

I love Nightmare so much. Everything about him, the bright red eyes, the jumpscare, the translucent body, and mostly the lore. I personally believe that he only shows up on the seventh night since the seventh night is the crying child’s nightmare while in a coma, and that his jumpscare is the way that it is since that was the last thing that the crying child saw. And the fact that the jumpscare audio is a slowed ambulance really adds to it for me. I love the re-color of Fredbear aspect of it as well, since Nightmare truly is just an even more terrifying version of Fredbear, and what the crying child saw him as. I just love Nightmare getting the recognition he deserves as a well thought out character.

Bonnie and Springtrap are my favorites for the same reasons. Bonnie has the most unnerving appearance, and I think most people can agree on that, especially since Scott has nightmares about him. The images where he stares at you, whether it was from him being in the Parts and Services room or the rare screen where it's just his head with hollow black eyes, still send chills down my spine. It's also why a part of me doesn't like it when people give him eyebrows. Sounds silly, but it really does feel like it takes away what makes him scary. When Springtrap made his debut, I knew immediately I was gonna like him, and I still do. He's incredibly unique. He's literally a walking tomb, taking the whole mummy thing to a whole new level. Not only that, even in death, William's need to hunt is still strong as ever. Nothing's gonna stop him. I also agree that he did better when he was a lot more subtle. I don't mind a crazy villain who comes back at every chance he gets, but I definitely prefer a mysterious, almost mute mummy whose true intentions you'll never know about.

I find Fnaf 1 bonnie to be scarier than any others in any of the other games. it's so unnerving looking. I did not find Springtrap scary when playing. But out of them all, at night, it was the one I thought would pop up the most in bed as a kid, and I think that's because of the games focus on it, as well as it's freaky design and jump scare that was far slower than the others beforehand.

FNaF 2: The Puppet. She's super unique with his creepy song and horrific design. I'd change my answer to Mangle though depending on what I feel like. FNaF 3: Springtrap. Duh. If you don't count him then Phantom Freddy. The way he walks across the window is super creepy and it's interesting to see how huge and bulky he is compared to Micheal. FNaF 4: Nightmare Fredbear. I love his UCN voice, I love seeing players' reactions to him, and he is super interesting in the story both as an animatronic and as a plush. FNAF SL: Funtime Freddy. I love his voice so much, his jumpscare and fake jumpscare are actually creepy, and I love his whole bonbon ordeal. Honorable mention to literally everyone else. They're all amazing in their own way. FF PS: Afton. Fight me. His smexy voice is smexy. He is such a smart way to evolve Springtrap in my opinion, and his chemistry with Henry and Michael is so damn compelling. If it wasn't for his design, he'd be my favorite character in the series. (RIght now it's the puppet) FNaF HW+CoD: Glitchtrap. I don't really have much of a choice. FNaF SB: Monty or Sun. I can't choose who I like more. The mystery of what Monty did to Bonnie is both funny and creepy. His voice lines are super silly, and his booss fight as actually pretty cool. Sun has a cool voice, creative mystery of who he is, and the way he changes into Moon is both extremely goofy but also nerve-wracking.

For me in FNAF1 it was always Freddy. The 'handprint' photos, his bright and happy appearance in promotional material vs his sinister and stalker-hunter-ish appearance in the game... it was such a shocking contrast. I remember on my very first playthrough, Freddy only moved right at the end of Night 3 and never reached the Office: I didn't see him in the cameras, though, and didn't know what to look for. That icy chill of fear, of knowing the previously idle threat of Freddy has suddenly become very malevolent and very real, scared the crap out of me. His eyeless face and demonic laughter evoke the feeling of something deeply wrong: unlike the other animatronics, Freddy never keeps up the veneer of a child-friendly appearance. The spirit within him knows where you are, it knows exactly how to find you, and it drops all pretense. FNAF1 Freddy is still my favourite animatronic of the entire series; that uncanny valley creepiness and eyeless horror has always stuck with me. FNAF2 was closer, and while the fear of Withered Freddy and his vacant, zombie-like stare was potent, I have to go for the Puppet. We are told almost NOTHING about it or why it exists: just a vague warning to keep the box wound up. The Puppet is therefore the greatest priority, the 'overriding threat' to which all the nights are based around. That fear of the box running out is so paramount that I still flinch upon hearing 'Pop Goes The Weasel' in any context. Plus, the design of the Puppet as an 'empty' marionette that practically levitates and is the most sentient and intelligent threat in the game made its design profoundly creepy to me. FNAF3, I agree that it has to be Springtrap. I've mentioned this in other comment sections on your videos, but the sheer terror of being 'alone with the Psycho' gives Springtrap and FNAF3 this very isolated and dark tone. Springtrap is ACTIVELY hunting you. This isn't a misguided spirit or a hacked computer chip: this is a very much alive, tortured entity who wants nothing more than to kill you and resume his reign ofterror. His design is easily my favourite: the shredded felt-like exterior has yellowed with age and feels rotten to the eyes. His gory flesh and forever-preserved scream under the mask leave nothing but torture, fear and a deep sense of wrongness. Worst of all, though, are his eyes. They seem bloodshot, and glow with an ethereal inner light like an intent stare. Springtrap's permanent slasher smile and glowing glare of doom from the depths of the ventilation shafts is one of the scariest screens from the FNAF franchise, imo. (Kinda biased by my phobia of vent shafts, but still) FNAF4 I didn't really enjoy, so I don't think it's fair for me to give an opinion. FNAF:SL was another tough one. Funtime Freddy was my first thought. His unhinged voicelines, towering stature and terrifying jumpscare made him very memorable to me. Ballora's whispery voice, music box attack and TEETH (brr, those teeth) made her a strong contender too. But, ultimately, I have to agree with you on Ennard. Their totally unexpected yet foreshadowed appearance stunned so many of us - including me - back in the day. Their effect on the story, wearing Michael like a skinsuit and being smart enough to actually escape? Horrifying. But his gradual infiliration in the Private Room Ending was the worst. Here was a huge mechanical abomination using a little girl's voice, worming it's way into your psyche and manipulating you. Ennard is probably the most psychologically horrific antagonist in the entire franchise, and that makes him easily my favorite SL character. Again, thank you for an excellent video Pastra and I look forward to the next!

Well if you want a lore aspect of Nightmare,if you brighten the image of Nightmare, there is a human brain inside which not only plays into FNAF 4’s crying child getting bitten and the lobe is in there but it later plays on the idea of children being trapped into the Funtime Animatronics as well a callback to the children being stuffed in the suits. You could also argue that Nightmare is Death in a physical form whether you believe you are playing as the crying child, the spirit being haunted or the older brother being hunted down as the guilt goes after him. There are many different interpretations. Also if you are caught by Nightmare, you hear a strange noise, it is actually the sound of an ambulance slowed down.

[@Chungyboi-jk1wm]

Nightmare is frickin epic! First time I saw him my exact quote was “shit! He looks cool!”

[@bothmalls]

Alright, here are my opinions. FNaF 1: Foxy. I think his mechanic really adds something to the game, and I like his design for being themed, as well as being so creepy in a realistic way. If the pizzeria was real and I went there as a kid, I would absolutely be scared by him. FNaF 2: I am obsessed with Toy Bonnie’s design. It blends creepy and cute in a way no other character in the franchise does, and is my personal favorite in general, and that’s saying a lot. Of course, his mechanic is the most basic out of anyone, but the way he just stares at you with his forced smile and giant eyes while moving to the left when you wear the mask really makes this character complete. It’s telling how he’s the only toy animatronic which doesn’t change appearance after leaving the stage. FNaF 4: Nightmare Fredbear is emblematic of why I like FNaF 4 so much. I love how he ties in with the story mini games and the bite of 83 and such. His design is also pretty good, I really like his “stomach mouth” thing. His game mechanic really prevents him from being anything I think about often, though. FNaF sister location: I like Ennard as much as the next guy, but Ballora is so amazing. I love how she never opens her eyes until she jumpscares you and how she’s trapped in the same pose constantly. And of course her song adds a layer of creepiness, while making you wonder about her significance. By far the most underrated animatronic in the franchise. FFPS: going back to balancing cuteness and creepiness, Music man is my favorite pizzeria simulator animatronic. His black soulless eyes, his stretch out mouth that only vaguely resembles a smile, his spider-like legs, and his arms which are only used for cymbals really makes him a stand-out character. I especially like his role in UCN, where he has an entirely unique gauge and a unique personality like most of the FFPS animatronics in the game. I can see why he was brought back twice in security breach. FNaF security breach: Sundrop/Moondrop is my personal favorite part in all of the game. To pick one, I’d say Sun is my favorite. The best parts about him are the unique clownish way he moves and his overly kiddy design which retroactively makes him terrifying. The artwork seen on the walls contrasted with his appearance really adds something that I wish was a bigger part of the game. His voice is great and fits his character, Kellen Goff did an amazing job. If and when a new FNaF game is made, I’d like to see them both return, the idea of two animatronics being one is a novel concept I’d like to see expanded upon. Other than that, I agree with your opinions on Springtrap and Giltchtrap, I guess since there wasn’t much competition.

finally, someone else who loves toy bonnie

[@thatscouttrooper]

1: Bonnie, mostly due to exposure. He's the one we saw the most of in the first game, and thus had the most amount of time to get attached to. 2: Withered Bonnie. The lack of face and tiny but intense red eyes is such a cool design. 3: Springtrap by default. 4: Nightmarrione. The design is very similar to Slenderman, which is another horror game character I enjoy. SL: Ballora. Her mechanic is something I really enjoyed in the game. Also, she's ho- PS: Helpy. He's adorable and hilarious. HW: Grim Foxy. Since the Halloween update for Fnaf 4, I've always wanted a Jack-o-Foxy design like Bonnie and Chica got, and this delivered. Also his level in the Curse of Dreadbear DLC is the perfect combination of "I can't stop playing" and "I WOULD LIKE TO STOP PLAYING, PLEASE!" SB: Glamrock Chica. The same reason you like Roxy: she's really ho-

[@herobrinegreek9493]

I agree with you in some, like with Ballora. I can't complain about G. Chica, its fair enough, but more of a figure you want to be friends with, unlike Roxxane... you want to be best friends with her

[@whosjwlz]

I've gotta say my favorite character overall in fnaf is the marionette (the puppet), i love how their design is so slender and thin compared to the others, they're held up by a few strings like a real puppet and their mask always reminded me of scream. i just love the lore behind them too, which I personally think is the most complex. Charlie Emily is one of my favorite human characters and the fact that she possessed the puppet who tried to save her is the coolest element. She helped each of the children to inhabit the animatronics, and similar to what you mentioned with Springtrap/William Afton, a lot of the foundation of this game wouldn't exist without her.

[@Tulipia5]

I think my favorite is Marionette/the puppet. The concept of a creepy doll has always interested me, and it's simple design kind of separated it from the other animatronics, being the most human for a while. But Glitchtrap is the scariest. Mainly because he is the most human, you can almost see William behind the mask, luring children into their graves. And I don't like the stranger danger vibes that he gives, wich ads to the creep factor.

[@typoman2880]

My favourite security breach character has to be chica, the way she moves and twists her head all the time is really unnerving, it really adds up to that because I really like the idea of the animatronics beings normal around kids, but when nobody is left they go crazy, chica is a great example of that with her telling everyone to be fit and healthy yet she does the opposite herself, that's why she's my favourite out of the glamrocks.

[@SSMp315]

The moment she shreds on her guitar in her green room earned that favorite

[@Ranixo286]

I also love her makeup and that they kept in how she enjoys her food with a fun mini game too. She's super fun and uncanny at the same time which is great.

[@screamingopossum7809]

I like the call back to Toy Chica when she has no beak, her head looks very similar in shape to toy Chica especially with the missing beak. Unfortunately she doesn't have her signature cup cake.

[@kharma296]

I'd have to give my favorite animatronic spot to Nightmarionne, the design is amazing, taking the innocent look of the puppet from FNaF 2 and making it into this huge scrawny monster. I feel like the nightmares went a bit too hard with a "big and bulky" design, and Nightmarionne is a fantastic opposite side of the coin for the idea of making a giant scary monster. On top of that I adore the voice lines it got in UCN and HW, most notably "I am a fearful reflection of what you have created" is particularly haunting. Hearing that line spoken by something with such a booming voice while having that voice glitch and loop on itself is very intimidating. It's not lore heavy like the original Nightmare, but I'd like to think it's a fantastic substitute for the sake of the Halloween update.

[@sleepyrose69]

I actually love the FNAF 4 animatronics! I get the criticism for being cheesily over-the-top, but it makes sense especially as they’re nightmares living in a kid’s mind as a manifestation of his traumas. And I thought they were scary when I was younger, so maybe nostalgia plays a part. Nightmare Fredbear’s my favorite, actually. :)

[@Styxintheriver]

I guessed literally all of them except Roxy. I thought you were gonna say sun/moon. I also agree with you on everything but Malhare. Idk, I hate his design. It's creepy, but in more of a "I feel like this thing is gonna molest me" and less of a "I feel like this thing is gonna kill me." One of those fears is fun, one is unpleasant.

[@Falkuzrules]

VR tried too hard with Malhare, made him move so weirdly and then the name "Malhare" got drowned out in the community by that stupid generic name and he lost even more respect. But in terms of the "molest vs kill" thing you said, well he's basically a physical (or rather digital, I guess) manifestation of William Afton's desire to murder innocent children so it really can't be any other way I suppose. That's the one thing I love about him while I dislike just about everything else!

[@itsjt8217]

[@reydragonclaw1128]

Personally, Funtime Foxy is my favorite in the whole franchise. His voice lines in the ultimate custom night gave her a really cool, charming gameshow host vibe and his design is so... clean? It's simple, and yet so pretty on stage, yet it transforms into somewhat of a flickering ghost in the dark. She has such a glowing charisma about him I'm not entirely sure of, and his color scheme is just so oddly pleasant. She's not that scary though, which loses him some points, ngl.

Funfact, Glitchtrap isn’t a springlock suit. You can see the fur stitching on his legs and arms and also the fact that he moves really freely like a person in a normal fursuit. Though I don’t know how a serial killer in a fursuit is normal. If you compare him to springtrap, Glitchtrap doesn’t have a moveable jaw and his eyes never blink or move really. And his arms are also not as bulky as a normal suit. But thats just a theory, A GAME THEORY.

When Markiplier called Foxy 'pirate cove man' when first seeing him, I felt really scared. When looking at Foxy in the first game, I couldn't tell what he was, or why he moved like he did. Fear of the unknown actually scared me. Was he a fox? An actual guy? Some type of rodent?? Fucking scary Edit: NIGHTMARE. MY FAVORITE ANIMATRONIC

[@--CHARLIE--]

Based edit

[@ianbuchanan7804]

Probably late to the party, but I'll list mine up to SL: FNAF 1: Foxy. It always struck me how separate he was from the others. The others got to be on stage while he's left in Pirate's Cove. It kinda gave an air of mystery to him in a weird way. FNAF 2: Mangle. It always interested me just how broken Mangle is to the point it made Foxy from FNAF 1 seem brand new. Again Mangle is kept separate sort of like Foxy was in FNAF 1, away from the rest of the main toy animatronics, providing that same air of mystery Foxy provides coupled with Mangle's own interesting background. FNAF 3: I don't think many people won't say Springtrap, and I'm not among that minority that would nominate someone other than Springtrap. He's the hallmark and main attraction of this game, and his design here is arguably the best in the whole franchise, anatomical inaccuracies aside. FNAF 4: Nightmarionne. A lot of the nightmare animatronics feel armed to the teeth in an almost cheesy way. Nightmarionne is different. Don't get me wrong, Nightmarionne still shares some of these traits, but they're more toned down in this model. Where the other nightmares seem to go "rawr, I'm scary!", Nightmarionne seems to go more like, "I'm here. I'm coming for you. Be ready." Point is, Nightmarionne feels more sinister; clearly a threat, but one that doesn't feel like they're trying too hard. Sister Location: Baby. Although Ennard's design is amazing, Baby's character is pretty well developed throughout the majority of SL, and this makes me see her as more interesting overall. With all due respect, Ennard only really is present in the last part, which isn't really a whole lot of time to explore Ennard as a new entity compared to Baby's time in the spotlight during the majority of the game. Although I do feel they did do some effort later on to flesh out Ennard a bit more, I am judging favourites based purely off of their appearance in the game listed, and thus Baby beats out Ennard for me. Thanks for reading, and have a great day!

[@trilobite3120]

Personally I'm quite a big fan of the nightmares. Something about how they abstractify the original designs and make you wonder if these were older, lost versions of those characters, or even lost completely different characters like in the case of nightmare. They tattered fabric look, the lighting, the bowtie style, and the wires just do it for me.

[@tealeafgoggles]

we have exactly the same favourites! thought that was cool lol

[@alexisfeynman9881]

FNAF 1: Chica. I've gotten desensitized to a lot of the characters over time, but no matter how many times I see Chica she's still terrifying. The "Let's Eat!!!" bib feels especially menacing. FNAF 2: Agree, it's Withered Bonnie. I love the way his lower teeth frame the void where his head should be. FNAF 4: Nightmare. In a cast of characters that does honestly feel a bit overdesigned, I love how much of him *doesn't* stand out. You shine your light and there's just a set of teeth and eyes. He's basically the main character's fear distilled to its purest form. Sister Location: This one has to go to Circus Baby herself, because her identity is one of the few mysteries we have left and it's a juicy one. The game clearly wants us to think that she's Elizabeth Afton, but there are several clues that suggest this isn't the case, and I'm super intrigued by that. Pizzeria Simulator: Ignoring the animatronics who didn't see any real action until Custom Night, it has to be Scrap Baby. Her design hits a great balance of being decrepit and menacing. Security Breach: Monty is my favorite animatronic, being extremely radical, but my favorite overall character is Vanny. I love the mystery they built with her character, and I'm deeply irritated at the choice to make the "true" ending one where you ignore her altogether in favor of William Afton Part 4, Yes We Know He Wasn't Anywhere Else In The Game, He's Still The Real Villain Because We Said So. Custom Night: Revisiting a character who was introduced in Pizzeria Simulator, it's gotta be Happy Frog. I just think she's cute.

[@joghnythegurue2710]

FNAF 1: Probably Freddy, there's a straightforward eloquence to his design and purpose. A perfect mascot. FNAF 2: Probably Mangle. Interesting concept and a design that both portrays it well and manages to be uniquely terrifying without "Overdoing it" like FNAF 4 supposedly did; plus, NB rights. Puppet's a close second for what I feel to be obvious reasons though. FNAF 3: Springtrap, kinda obvious. FNAF 4 : Nightmarione, cool, well animated and very unique; like something out of Tim Burtons worst dreams. Probably has the best voice-lines in UCN in my opinion. FNAFSL: So many great designs, so little time. I appreciate the simplicity of Lolbit but Baby ekes em' out for how well she balances a cute animatronic you could have sympathy for and a murder-clown-baby-robot amalgamed out to half the horror tropes in the book with finesse. FNAF-Pizza-Sim': Scrap Baby, for the same reasons you went with Withered Bonnie FNAF-HW: Plush-Babies. One of the few unique designs from this game with a great gameplay loop and IMO the most scariest, most tension-inducing gameplay. I kinda wish I could go with Virtual-Trap (blood-red-Springtrap) but he's mostly just a REALLY GOOD recolour and only appears on for like one section and isn't even the main threat. Security Breach: Too hard to decide. Freddy is unique in both his friendliness and subtle eeriness in any moment he might lose it (power, control, mind, or all of the above). Roxxane is real complex, like you said. Monty is probably the scariest. Chika gets the most characterization she's ever gotten, and I like the idea she's the youngest and most peppy and sporadic. Vannessa (and Vanny) would definitely win if it weren't for their lack of presence in gameplay. Sun&Moondrop are cool and voiced by the legend who voices Fiddlesticks but their lack of actual lore significance is unfortunate. Both music-men primarily just serve as threats more than characters but are truly remarkable at that job. Lastly, as cool and well designed as The Mass and Afton (AKA Burnt-trap or Salvage) are, they leave very little impact thx to their lack of screen-time and presence in the story.

[@rearkified]

I've always really thought of Nightmare as the ultimate manifestation of the protagonists trauma with animatronics. I say protagonist mostly because there are 2 possibilities that have been discussed and debated for who we play as during the night sections of FNaF 4; with them being the crying child in a coma or Michael having nightmares after the incident, and I feel that Nightmare could represent either of their traumas from that incident; with the crying childs last moments being in a coma due to his part of his head being crushed from the jaws of Fredbear, or Michael having nightmares from the incident occuring with Nightmare being the ultimate manifestation of his trauma. It could also explain why his model is just a recolor of Nightmare Fredbear, as Fredbear was the main factor in the incident, but that's just me.

[@four_girls_in_search_of_awesom]

FNAF 1 - Freddy Fazbear the great, love the music box stuff when the power goes out, awesome suspense FNAF 2 - Puppet was a nice change up from the bulkier animatronics, design was on point and story was intriguing FNAF 3 - Springtrap for lack of other characters, but Springtrap can still be super creepy. Best parts are them trudging slowly across the window or staring at you through the door, knowing you’re cornered FNAF 4 - The little pixelized Fredbear doll the crying child has. I like the nightmares alright, but they blend together. I like the weird psychic doll, the question of whether it’s actually alive or just an imaginary friend. Sister Location - Freddy and that stupid little Bonnie hand puppet crack me up Pizza Sim - I’m least familiar with this one, so not sure. Lefty has a fun design. I also like Candy Cadet. Help Wanted - Glitchtrap, maybe the most upsetting character in the whole series for me The Best One - Glamrock Freddy, the bestest friend a superstar could ask for

[@Whatlander]

I'm in the part of the fanbase that saw Sun and Moon for all of five minutes and latched on. They both appear too self-aware to be fully affected by the virus, even if it's implied that Moon's child-murder phase is recent. Sun is actively conscious of it and trying to stop Moon from getting out, and Moon looks like he's having the time of his life, goofing off in between quick, bizarre attacks. The unanswered questions are a huge draw - there's a ton of space to play in regarding headcanons, and I hope it never gets plastered over with lore. I don't care if they're actually the ghosts of Charlie's time-travelling goldfish; I like them because they're out of place and doing their own thing. As interesting as it is for Glitchtrap to act more like the ghost of a person, his appearance and backstory are so goofy and buckwild that I really can't take him seriously. Ballora was the most unsettling character to me in Sister Location. She and Baby are both unique as people, but Circus Baby has a more cartoony name and design that help her fit into the overall lineup of animatronic creatures. Ballora looks more like an adult human, which makes her face-unhinging animation much more disturbing to me. The fact that you have to look her in the eye after watching her get "killed" also leaves a lasting impression. Never played Pizzaria Simulator, but I did always wonder what Lefty's whole deal was. Though Candy Cadet telling children depressing stories is pretty fun, too. Nightmare definitely stands out in FNAF 4, from the way he sometimes manifests as a giant head, to the grinder in his mouth and distinct noise made during his kill screens. The fact that they're not even animated works in his favor, I think. I seem to prefer characters that don't completely mesh with the rest of their game. This was also the game where I realize how much Balloon Boy creeps me out. I really like the hallucinations in FNAF 3, even if they're not full characters. They're literally just jumpscares, but they don't end your game, and I don't know if that's better or worse honestly. They're awful, but useful at the same time, since they signal needing to fix the airflow. A good deterrent against sealing off the vents and hoping you don't pass out. They force you to stay engaged with the game. The Puppet is so damn stressful and eerie in FNAF 2 and I love it. The lore had not become truly absurd yet, so I really liked learning more about it. The puppet effectively pulling the strings is clever, and the way that it was trying to help fellow victims is endearing. They actively build it up in the phone calls, and its creepy visage does not disappoint. FNAF 1 is a toss-up. Freddy taunting the player with the Toreador March and sitting back until later nights are iconic. He works so well as a title character with final boss vibes, laughing at the player before he actually shows us. That said, Foxy's unique behavior and literally being set apart from the other characters (and always "out of order") have all the same mystery appeal that made me like Sun and Moon so much. The stress of realizing he's out and rushing the door is also hard to forget. That, and he's basically a toddler who gets mad if you're not paying enough attention, which is great, because he probably is (which is less great.) The way he casually pops into the office is very fun, too. (TBH if not for the puppet, he'd be my favorite in FNAF2 as well - being able to see through the mask mechanic makes him really interesting. Then again, Mangle's whole deal is also memorable.)

[@Bestgameplayer10]

Two months ago, when I came across this channel, it left me genuinely confused. You had just 3 videos and no prior history creating content on the platform that I could discern, yet your videos already had such polish to them that I didn't know what to make of it. I've been watching ever since, and I can't wait to see where your channel goes! Anyways, my personal favorites from each game would be: (FNAF1) Bonnie, for many of the reasons you listed and because he's purple. (FNAF2) The Marionette, as not only are they responsible for some of my favorite bits of the lore, but the design works well as a middle ground between the toy and withered animatronics, with a style in line with the toy animatronics put on top of a design with an older aesthetic to it. Very close call between The Puppet and Withered Bonnie; in fact, I initially wrote WB for this spot before changing my mind. (FNAF3) Springtrap, because of course he is. (FNAF4) Nightmarionne, because they make my least favorite part about the puppet (their almost comically thin design for an animatronic) into a positive aspect. (FNAF:SL) Funtime Freddy, because Kellen Goff is incredible. (FFPS) Helpy, as he embodies the humor of FNAF excellently: his mascot-befitting mannerisms mixed with the safety hazards and lawsuits of the pizzeria result in something I find endlessly amusing. (FNAF:HW) Malhare, because he does such a good job showing off the persona William Afton must've put on when luring kids to their horrific deaths. (FNAF:SB) Roxanne Wolf, cuz she's cool, hot, and extremely insecure- just like me! Except I'm lukewarm at best.

[@Neem_]

FINALLY! SOMEONE WHO CALLED MARIONETTE BU THEIR REAL NAME!

[@VenomQuill]

You make incredible points about a lot of these characters. Though a few choices surprised me (I don't meet a lot of Nightmare peeps), they make sense. My favorite of FNaF 1 was Foxy. Not only because he looked cool (a pirate and a fox? Sign me up!) but because he tossed a wrench in otherwise boring gameplay. As scary as FNaF 1 was (which it was intensely scary), you really only have to look at the lights outside your doors and shut the doors. If you ignore the cameras completely, they probably couldn't kill you. Well, that was until Foxy pokes his head out. He also had the most personality, that I saw. He didn't care what others were doing or about wandering around. He wanted to be seen, and he _was_ going to be seen. Freddy is an incredibly close second. In FNaF 2, it's the Puppet hands down. His tear streaked, colorful face set on a black doll with white banded limbs is interesting. I would have absolutely wanted a doll like that to hug and cuddle when I was little. While the others were cool and all, The Puppet feels the most appealing to my child self. In lore, we're told virtually nothing about him. What we do know comes from death mini games where he presumably guides the souls of dead children into suits, giving life. He's also a constant threat, the one forcing you to look at cams and become vulnerable. Then the feeling of dread when you hear "Pop Goes The Weasel". Once you hear that, you're already dead. I have to agree about Springtrap in FNaF 3, no questions asked. He's still the grossest character in the series on every conceivable level. He's visually unappealing (in a good way!), literally a rotten corpse in a rotten suit, and haunted by a rotten soul of a putrid human. It's the most gore and closest to explicit body horror we've come to. I could talk about FNaF 4 designs all day. Honestly, I like your point about Nightmare. I was really fond of Nightmare Freddy because he's just unique. He's a constant threat sitting on the bed. I remember Markiplier offhandedly commanding the Freddy plush to guard him. Plenty of kids use their toys as defenses against the dark, as shields and sources of bravery or comfort. For said comfort to turn into a blatant lie and kill the one who depended on it is horrifying and fascinating. I love plushies and I still collect stuffed animals. Sister Location! The first to come to mind is Funtime Freddy, absolutely. Ennard is a super close second and for all the reasons you explained. But FT Freddy has so much personality and such lively voice acting. Him and Bon-Bon being together (and Bon-Bon being "alive" as well) makes for a fascinating dynamic. Especially because you can make Bon-Bon tell FT Freddy to chill while in the utility closet. _"Bon-Bon! Go get 'em!"_ For Pizzeria Simulator, it was super hard. I agree about Lefty. He is mysterious and dangerous and such a dagger in the back! That last "salvage" of just the cardboard winky face was both hilarious and horrifying. Like, who's there? Who's inside? Then the animatronic you bought strikes during the office phase. Not only that, but Lefty doesn't really talk like the others so it's incredibly hard to hear him. Glitchtrap made Help Wanted interesting. That's that. Without him, it would be a collection of VR remake short stories. On top of his super cool design (I'm pretty sure I would've liked him as a kid or even now!), he's got to be one of the most important characters in the game. I had to hold for just a second on Security Breach. As much as I love Vanessa and Vanny, I have to give it to the Daycare Attendent. For one, the DA is very cool on the outside. A giant jester! He's so fun looking! I broke Sun during the day sequence on complete accident and he crouched in that sad pose, refusing to budge even when I got under him. You can see little wires and a circuit board and the little dents and designs on his face. His spokes retract and expand and wave depending on Sun's emotion and his current movement. His stripes and spindly limbs remind me heavily of the Puppet. Unlike the other animatronics, he has five fingers and ribbons with bells wrapped around his wrist. And then _Moon._ I broke Moon, too, on accident. You can't touch him, but he can get close. You can see Sun's spokes hidden behind his faceplate. His extreme colors contrast Sun's in every way and yet stay harmonious. Oh, and the funny little jig! He's by far the scariest animatronic in Security Breach. Weapons don't work on him, he's not fooled by hiding spots (including Freddy), he is ALWAYS closeby, and he thrives in a dark and creepy atmosphere. You can't stop him, either. Not even in his boss fight where you have to defeat him by forcing him to change into Sun, who is easier to deal with. Their obsession over keeping the place clean just adds onto their personalities. The "lovable and dotting fatherly figure about to snap" Sun and "once was probably really cool and nice but someone woke up and chose violence for him" Moon. They went all out making the DA. You can SEE the love they poured into them! Their section is my favorite in the game.

I love watching these kinds of videos where people share their opinion on stuff like this, I find it to be a fun source and how other people think and perceive. Also it's really fun to guess what they'll say, I only did it once as the thought only dwelled on me by Security Breach, but I successfully guessed them to be (If you didn't finish the video, I'll leave you to keep guessing for yourself) so I can't complain.

In FNAF SB, Monty was definitely my favourite out of them all. He’s just so freaking awesome, from the way he looks to the way he acts. Also, the whole glamrock bonnie situation is pretty interesting. Even if I don’t believe Monty did it.

[@Hypnotichypno]

It’s either Monty OR vanny that did the deed in my opinion

[@concept5631]

I personally don't believe Monty did it imo.

[@CyberCrash]

Throughout all of the games I fell in love with every single FNAF character. There isn’t a single FNAF character that I hate (except DeeDee). But my favorite have always been the Foxy line as I love foxes irl and fell in love with their mechanics and designs. I love all of the characters you choose (especially Roxy). Edit: IDK why people dislike Nightmare, he’s one of my favorite FNAF 4 characters

I like Molten Freddy. I loved Funtime Freddy's VA and but a glance at their design speaks leagues of how desperate they are to persist in such a state, but I particularly like them because they're one of the few animatronics outside of Afton to have a consistant arc. First they were Ennard, but when Baby got a bit too bossy, they kicked her out and sought out their own agenda as Molten Freddy. Then later, when the Pizzaria burned down, they barely managed to survive by absorbing other endoskeletons, all of the matter and residual remnant sustaining them, but gradually wearing them down into little more than an amorphous monster thanks to all of the conflicting personalities inside of them. Yet at the end, it was clear that they held onto one thing; Afton had to pay. The leftover results of all his sins, all of his efforts to attain immortality had likewise adopted their own means of persisting and dragged him down with them. Honestly the only good thing that came out of bringing back Afton again, would have liked to have seen Vanny play a bigger role instead, but the poetic justice Molten Freddy helped deliver made it almost worth it.

the one character i love in fnaf 4 was nightmarionne,even though he was only meant to be a replacement in the Halloween version and was said to be unofficial his design was so unique compared all of the others.his mechanic in ucn was one of the most unique in the game,and the way he and his character were better utilized in help wanted with the tentacles was such an upgrade from the Halloween version.

[@gogomen101]

Sun/Moon is underrated! This terrifying switch between the charming and happy Sun who just wants to play with you and be your friend and the terrifying bloodthirsty Moon... all in an instant. It reminds me of split personality disorder or of the classic "good guy pushed over the edge" character. His part of Security Breach where you have to escape from the daycare is one of the most terrifying moments. Running trough this maze with multiple floors in complete darkness to find the generators which are placed in the most obscure spots (like seriously, are these massive wires and generateors always right next to the small childrean playing at the daycare?) all while this creepy monsterous animatronic is chasing you with murderous intent. It stuck with me man! Oh and the only way to stop this THING from catching up to you is by going OUT IN THE OPEN to knock down some.... things? which it has to fix, only making it more and more fed up with you. Chase sequences are always super cool/scary, much more than a random jumpscare. Oh and his design, while not being THAT interesting, I love how they pulled off the switch between Sun/Moon. It's a simple color change but works perfectly.

[@somethingtwice2297]

It's not like I didn't see it coming from a mile away but I'm tired of seeing these guys get sexualised. They have a lot of potential and instead Moon is sexually frustrated and Sun gets bimboficated. I freakin' love their mechanic and them as characters in general (I'm a sucker for those Jekyll/Hyde-esque characters), and besides Freddy, it's nice to have another animatronic as an ally if you think of Sun/Moon as their own individual person.

[@bananasauz4337]

I really don't think The Daycare Attendent is an underrated character. People seem to appreciate them just fine to me.

[@ringtailarts4834]

I agree Bonnie is one of my favorite characters in the entire franchise. I was really disappointed when I didn’t see him in security breach. I think the whole plot about him disappearing is also cool, and would have loved if the game focused more on that. Sun/moon is probably my second favorite character because I feel like we know so little about them. They also are really creepy looking. I feel that sun is one of the most interesting in security breach because he genuinely doesn’t seem to want to harm the player/Gregory. I thought it would be cool if a later game would expand on him a bit more too.

My favorite character would have to be Lolbit. First appearing in FNAF World (a game I really enjoyed, despite it not being a typical FNAF game), they also appeared in Sister Location Custom Night. Their ability in the latter to mess with/hack electronics really interested me. I hope we truly see them in a future game

[@bluewarbler9034]

The thing that makes me like Glitchtrap in Help Wanted is the personal threat he poses to the player. VR in general blurs the line somewhat between player and protagonist, and Help Wanted's self-aware nature as a video game leans into that. Help Wanted is not, strictly speaking, depicting real events -- it's a video game in-universe, so it's generally not recognized whether or not you are an in-universe character. You don't have a set in-game job like a security guard or maintenance worker or random kid in a pizzeria, you're just, well, you. Glitchtrap, meanwhile, exists outside the normal framework of the game -- he explicitly is not a part of the game's intended function. Therefore, when you encounter him, you get the sense that you're not dealing with a part of the game, but that you, the player, have reached into something the devs did not intend to put in and that you were not intended to find. Thus, Glitchtrap's perceived threat reaches past the fourth wall in a way no other FNAF character can.

[@BaronofSouls]

I'm so glad someone actually gave Nightmare the credit he deserves and is also interested in who he is, or what he represents because its something I've always been interested in.

[@michaelinthebathroom8847]

i love scrap baby so much. just the chaotic mess of parts is so cool to me, it really looks like she clawed as much of her original self out of ennard as possible and scraped up the rest from who knows where. also i love the wet floor signs in security breach, i just do. its a very simple design but it still looks cute. also it spins when you flash it with the camera or lazer, which i think is fun and also cute. i forgot to mention sundrop. i love how blissfully unaware they are of their overbearing personality and appearance that definitely frightens kids, but i just like the character because, hes trying his best. a for effort.

[@Ommelanden]

Withered Bonnie will always be my favourite partially because it's the first memorable thing I saw in the series as I found out about it shortly before FNaF 3. His design instantly sparked my interest and my favourite character never changed throughout the continuation of the game series. My theory on why his design works so well is because to me his design unintentionally seems to give of a sense dispair, awakening and determination, due to his introduction, stance, stare and jumpscare, which Withered Foxy also has to lesser extend. To me Withered Bonnie is very easy to imagine as having an actual personality and motive, without ever talking in FNaF 2.

[@stardustsakura1984]

I think my favorite in the series overall is foxy,with his jumpscares,his creepy song,his run,his mechanic everything is such a beautiful work of art

[@MrBilly456]

What I love about fnaf's one bonnie the most is the fact that he is always known as the "most aggressive" of the band, because he is the first one to move in most nights of the game and he is the one who usually attacks more times during the night, I just love it because it gives bonnie that "dangerous vibe" to say it like that, like the fact that he is the very first animatronic to attack in the entire game and the first one we actually get to see in person

[@bahrlee]

These are all very good choices!!! This is my personal list Fnaf 1 - Foxy. I found his unique mechanics very interesting, and I loved his design and pirate theme Fnaf 2 - kinda stupid considering Foxy is my fnaf 1 pick but... Mangle! The idea of this animatronic that gets torn apart by kids every day makes not only for a sympathetic character, but also a very creepy design. Fnaf 3 - I mean, it's Sringtrap, of course!! Fnaf 4 - nightmare Bonnie, simply because I feel like he's so notorious, as he or Chica are usually the first ones you die from when playing the game. Also I like how his color scheme fits with the environment. Sister Location - Ballora. Her more humanoid appearance makes her very unsettling to me as someone who doesn't like that sort of stuff, also the way she apparently crawls on the ceiling... plus her voice and songs, and what Baby explains about her night 4 gives her this mysterious vibe that I love. Pizzeria Sim - #1 crate... He's just cute and silly 😅 Help Wanted - I would also have to say Glitchtrap. It's an iconic design, with a lot of mystery. I wish he was used more! Security Breach - also Roxanne. Like you said, her personality is possibly the most endearing out of all the animatronics. She's very sympathetic and I also really like her wild hair

[@teedoes]

The thing you said about Ballora, I think it's called "uncanny valley"

[@darken2185]

The way Scott uses lighting on Sister Location when Ennard is on screen is always amazing. His design is so intricate and chaotic at the same time, too bad we didn't get to see much of them, I actually really like the concept. Also considering it's made from like 5 different animatronics it means (to me at least) that he's absolutely massive.

Mangle is definitely my favorite design out of all. Their design used to confuse me a lot as a kid, and I assumed they were just a pile of wire spaghetti. I'm older now and I realize how ingenious the design actually is. The way their 'head' is actually on their arm and that they have 3 feet and can collapse and reform themselves however they want due to their jumbled form is so interesting to me. It's all so messy and yet so coherent at the same time. The sound of their radio is also one of the most disturbing and ear-gratingly annoying sounds ever to be heard. Also, in defense of the Nightmares, as a kid they used to TERRIFY me and I think that's the point. They aren't supposed to be scary for adults, they're supposed to be scary for CHILDREN. The player character of FNAF 4 is a child and the Nightmares are their interpretations of the terrifying animatronics that scared them, pulled from the deepest recesses of their subconscious. I think the Nightmares are pretty genius design by this explanation alone, and makes them one of my favorite animatronic designs actually
