I think a fox being a pirate fits well with the trope of having foxes being sneaky, cunning and sometimes portraying thieves, or in this case, a pirate. So I like it as him being a wolf wouldn't fit nearly as nice.

I always saw Foxy's "Captain Foxy" look to be his canon- non out of order design. It just fits so well for him to have a pirate hat, the jacket, and the belt across his chest, since that belt covers the hole almost perfectly!

[@wisebintroll]

Same

[@kaiserreichempireofohio834]

Doesn’t fit the theme of the other originals though, and Withered Foxy does not have the clothes either, which in lore was the base model for the Fnaf 1 animatronics. Also from a mechanical standpoint the clothes would make it harder for the animatronic to preform. Most likely his in-order design doesn’t have anything different than what we can see on his fnaf 1 design. The only missing part that can’t be simply filled in are his feet and lower legs, and it’s most likely he either has boots or bare feet like the others.

@CrimsonFox07 Doesn't weigh down the arms or head I suppose, I can't say for certain what the in universe reason is, but again withered Foxy also only has pants so it's a reasonable guess that just the pants were a consistent theme

[@fIorapetals]

It's definitely funny to see how Foxy has changed between games. His camera-hiding quirk was actually part of the reason he became my favourite in the first FNaF game and has stayed there. The fact that he actively hid from the camera but would sing if you left him alone, to me at least, made him seem shy (foxes are also one of my favourite animals so that helped). Obviously he's well lost that headcanon, but like you said, he's what you'd expect from a pirate fox. And it works. I could see him being a mascot for some kid's thing for sure.

[@chaoticsilver8442]

I don't think he's necessarily lost that headcanon. I think it still applies- just not so much to Foxy the character, but instead, the soul possessing the animatronic Fox.

[@sadrat5375]

Foxy really is one of the concepts that was nailed perfectly on release, and never needed any drastic changes

[@turtswing]

Foxy managed to hit his peak design at the first go, and the only element that improved his popularity was a voice and attitude that perfectly reflected his unchanged looks. I also think that Scott designed Foxy with his kids, so maybe that's another reason why he has looked so well rounded from the get go.

[@Thor-Orion]

Well I know Scott drew him on a road trip with his family which is why he looks so decrepit in the original.

[@kaiserreichempireofohio834]

One thing to also note was Scott seemed to deliberately hide Foxy from the Fnaf 1 trailer and pre release promotional material, meaning the first people who played the game were the first to find out about the character. Probably both irl and in universe Foxy was made to be more flamboyant and outstanding as he was separated from the other characters so in order to not let him fall to the side of the road was made more “interesting” compared to the others. One might say Foxy was Fnaf's "Breakout Character" but his popularity was probably intended from the start. Sidenote: 4:55 That may be because he’s speaking a lot more quietly and privately in that clip, he may have sounded more “piratey” if he was talking more outloud.

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

Foxy was indeed deliberately hidden - I suspect that, given his unique design and the fact that he's also hidden even when in the game up until he's about to rush you, Scott probably took that idea from playtesting his game (and I think his family did so as well, which probably helped). You don't see Foxy for a long time, so revealing him early in trailers would've ruined that surprise.

[@tapseymoth803]

I think what I love about foxy is just how in every game he is always the most unique in terms of gameplay which at least for me made him seem so much cooler than everyone else. Like one of the more extreme examples is fnaf4 where its easy to forget that he actually doesn’t start in your closet but outside like everyone else. But instead of killing you when he gets in there he goes straight for the closet. Combined that with his ability to see through the mask or his ability to seemingly drain the door power when he bangs on it in fnaf1, it just made him seem so much intelligent than the others and an entity on pair with the other OGs like the classic puppet and golden freddy. And I just loved how many different ways you could interpret his weird mechanics story wise. He could be an attention hog who just wants to have the spotlight again after being left out of order for so long, he could be like the other animatronics except with a crippling fear of being watched (which leads to the knife twisty head canon that the soul who eventually possessed him died while trying to hide behind that curtain only to be spotted on the monitor and killer by purple guy when he was the nightguard), or he could just be a playful (ultimately dangerous) trickster having fun being so different from everyone else. He’s just one of the characters that made classic fnaf so much fun to analyze despite not much being concrete and I don’t think I would have stuck with this franchise as long if foxy didn’t exist

[@neptuniamarina4924]

One of my friends and I had an ingenious idea for how to use Glamrock Foxy in a DLC or a Sequel for SB. Basically in a scrapyard or potentially under the plex, Gregory or a new kid find GR Foxy and he begins to chase them while saying cliche stuff like “You cant outrun a fox” The twist being here that if he catches you, He just pokes you and says “Tag, you’re it” and runs off, revealing he’s not infected by Glitchtrap (cause he was scrapped) and can set him up as an Ally throughout the game.

[@notrealnamenotatall2476]

I would absolutely love that. 🥺

[@MeemahSN]

I hope steelwool finds this. We need this to happen.

[@wisebintroll]

Yes

[@ZirconiaGacha]

I have an AU where Ennard (in the form of Molten Freddy) survives the FNaF 6 fire with a bit of damage, later returning when the Pizzaplex is built. A literal main point is that he takes the exoskeleton (it honestly can't be considered a suit in my mind) of Glamrock Foxy to hide in the scrapped animatronic area, and because Glitchtrap has no idea he's there, Foxennard isn't infected. There's a kinda multiple path thing, but considering Ennard is pretty intelligent I imagine that, if found by Gregory, he wouldn't immediately go after him and rather help him to possibly get something out of it later. Add that to the fact that the Funtimes in general seem to have some beef to settle with William, and that's something that could happen. I like your idea, and it reminded me of this particular idea.

[@CorgiTheRegularCorgi17]

That’s a fantastic idea!

[@marek1shtar538]

Thing i like about OG Foxy's design is that it's hard to tell if he's intentionally designed to have his endoskeleton exposed or if that's the reason he's out of order to begin with. Also surprised you didn't talk about the speculation that he did the bite of 87 as one of the classic theories

[@notrealnamenotatall2476]

Sometimes I dip into theories, but considering that one is so messy- I.E. the retcon with 83/82- I decided not to.

[@kaiserreichempireofohio834]

I doubt that Fazbear Ent. would deliberately have an animatronic with its endoskeleton exposed, it would “ruin the magic” for the kids, which is part of the reason Phone Guy says having animatronics lingering around without a costume is against the rules of FFP(while the part of animatronics being “programmed” to wander around and find animatronics without costumes on and put them in a costume is made up, there’s no reason to believe the rule is also made up, preserving the illusion for the kids is a theme running back to the very beginning with the springlock suits). I’m guessing the location had a small fire at Pirate Cove that burned off a good part of Foxy’s costume, and while the animatronic was still functional they probably closed it off until a new costume could be brought in.

[@marek1shtar538]

@@notrealnamenotatall2476 That's fair, it's just something that is usually brought up when Classic Foxy is discussed

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

@@kaiserreichempireofohio834 I mean, it's not like they're some nearly-realistic characters to begin with. The seams and gaps in the casings for nearly every line are massive, plainly exposing endoskeletal parts - the only parts I could definitely see not being intentionally missing are the hand casing and his wholly bare legs, although the look with the torn pants still works well enough. The main reason it'd seem he doesn't fit on stage is that he's got that damage both on his 'clothing', if you can consider the ratty brown trousers he wears much at all, and the rest on what would otherwise be his actual body - not scars, but open wounds. Then again, the kids might still believe it if they were told it was scarring and not, y'know, holes straight through to exposed bone. The kids would also probably find the legs hilarious, to be fair, since when his feet are on the ground he kind of looks like he's balancing on two peg legs. Kids love that sort of thing.

Ah, thanks!

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

The idea that, while the other animatronics were being built, Foxy was sitting there on a stand in a corner, twitching and shrouded in darkness, fits him so perfectly and I do quite wish that it hadn't been retconned just for a somewhat throwaway line (also the very fact that Baby can be mistaken for Foxy in that instance meant that her subsequent claim of being too unique to mistake like that is just.. ridiculously blind to basic logic).

[@smt64productions40]

Baby hates Foxes

[@Lttsumm]

i like to think Foxy slowly stopped appearing because of a curse that all pirates believe in, foxy's curse was just always breaking down. his design mean that he needed constant maitence and since fazbear wnt. has a habit of neglecting anything not serious, and even then neglecting everything that IS serious, a foxy the pirate with slim design just want possible anymore. any foxy they built was just cursed to fail, another reason Roxanne replaced him, still vaugly the same shape but a new character, and the foxy era woultnd be over in a flash

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

He just seems to wear out faster. Nearly every version of Foxy is one of the most damaged characters, whether it's the excessive tears and rips on the Withered and classic variants and the complete destruction of Mangle, or just simple things like the uncontrolled and spastic movements of Funtime Foxy. He's always had that aspect of not being wholly stable, and as such ending up falling apart that much quicker than all the others.

[@dr.archaeopteryx5512]

If I had a nickel for every time one of the original animatronics was replaced with a wolf, I'd have two nickels. And if I'd had a nickel for every time one was replaced with Monty Gator, I'd also have two nickels. And if I had one for every time there was a weird lanky humanoid monster who manipulates and maims people pretended to be one, that would also be two. And if I had a nickel for every time they gave Foxy a pink and white variant that would be two again. Not sure where I was going with this but I am sure amassing a good handful of nickels.

This particular character was always high up on my favorite’s list because he ended up as the opposite to Freddy. While Foxy was a fan favorite that was initially kind of an “afterthought,” Freddy ended up on the back burner until, imo, Security Breach. The treatment of Freddy is very odd, especially with Withered Freddy being used in a lot of marketing/promos, despite not actually having any merch.

[@monke7919]

I love how the one consistent thing about foxy is when hes voiced he HAS to be a over the top pirate because he was the only character with a strong themeing and characterization so itd be an utter waste to make anything other then a boisterous loud pirate with an affinity for running fast so thats what he allways is

[@j-j8984]

My favorite description of why I love Foxy comes from my friend "modern stuff comes and goes, but pirates are forever!"

[@a.i.510]

I believe that Glamrock Bonnie and even Pirate Foxy or Glamrock Foxy existed in the pizza plex at that point before Vanessa arrived. I feel that the plex was once a lively place where every animatronic after performing, each were stationed in their themed placed areas, just to entertain guests and make it more enjoyable. E.g.: Glamrock Bonnie in Bonnie Bowl, Roxy in Roxy raceway, Monty in Monty Golf, etc. I think there were also other animatronics as well for example "El chip". I can imagine it was a dream place to work there and employees were having a blast. But after Vanessa arrived things started to change, workers start seeing that endoskeleton attacking them and computers glitching. Things became even more intense when staff started finding damaged animatronics or destroyed out of nowhere. As a result, the whole plex feels so spacious but yet very vacant as if someone was supposed to be there standing there but they are all absent.

[@theooftroop]

Foxy in recent years has become one of my favorite characters in the series thanks to my s/o latching onto him as soon as I introduced her to FNaF. Given how shaky a lot of characters' treatment is, it really is nice to just admire how good Foxy has had it. Great characterization, all around great design variants, and some great minigames dedicated to him. You combing through the history of all the characters has been a huge treat!

[@piercelindenberg6842]

I have a theory about how Foxy would be implemented into the Pizzeria. If the “Banned” banners across the roller doors in Kid’s Cove is anything to go off of, then it looks like the Cove was meant to connect to the daycare, which makes a lot of sense for Foxy if he’s not getting a Glamrock makeover. He’d be working more closely with the Daycare Attendant, who is the only other animatronic there to not have Glamrock theming, with the daycare itself having a more “knights and castles” vibe than anything especially 80’s themed. I figured that Foxy would probably entertain younger kids alongside the Daycare Attendant, since what we see in the Kid’s Cove are items that would entertain younger children, like slides and the like, unlike the other themed attractions in the building, like laser tag, mini golf, go-karting, etc. It might even be a relatively new attraction since the Tales from the Pizzaplex books describe a few attractions that we don’t see in-game, like the dress-up area in the story “Under Pressure” or Lally’s Game. It just depends.

[@elliotnutella8044]

Foxy is always gonna be such an interesting character, as he just naturally became so popular, I was a fan when there was only 1 game and at first I still preferred Freddy , but after the second game I was boring at first and at the time Withered Foxy was my favorite although I did change my mind.

Things like fixing certain characters like Gregory and Freddy to more redesigns of certain areas like your other SB video, maybe a video about what SB’s story might have been? The February trailer seems to be trying to hint at a story that was very different from the final release. You don’t see too many more, “redesigning/reworking Security Breach” videos anymore and the last one of those types of videos that came out sparked a ton of controversy so I’d love to see more takes from you regarding redesigning that game!

Foxy's my favorite character. I love how his FNAF 1 jumpscare was like "arr matey can I trouble ye for a cup of sugar?" I do feel like Foxy was supposed to be responsible for the bite of 87, but once again Scott had to make everything more complicated than it needed to be. I do hope there is a Glamrock Foxy in the future. My pitch is. Foxy looks like Snartles, NATSZ, xxmissrosearts or Letsudraw's versions of Glam Foxy. As for Foxy's Pizzaplex attraction. There is already a Kid's Cove in the Pizzaplex, but since no one is in that attraction, I think it would be best to renovate it into a proper Pirate's Cove. My idea for Pirate's Cove is we see a giant Pirate ship, Kraken ride, Foxy's corner where he tells the kiddies Pirate tales and shanties. Since Foxy is not technically apart of the band, I thought Foxy could have his own Pirate Crew for Pirate’s Cove! With Foxy's crew we'd see the Funtime Foxy version of Helpy, so Fixy. Glamrock Mangle as Foxy's Second mate and Glamrock Lolbit.

I say make him have a soviet aesthetic, it would really fit him well, maybe mix it with his pirate theme

[@tealperilous6548]

Foxy was always a favourite of mine just because of his mechanics but the way his character never really changed how he was portrayed made it easier to love him throughout the series no matter if someone replaced him or not. Thanks for covering him!

[@dragonscalie]

You forgot the part where he was thrown into the grand canyon

[@notrealnamenotatall2476]

I'm- I'm not ready to revisit that... horrible day... *Thousand yard stare* ...I still hear him sometimes... *From bottom of Canyon*: YARARARARRAHEREHER

[@MrSpartan993]

You ever read some of the FNAF fanfics that are actually decently written? Foxy is almost always portrayed as the character types of “the cranky old man” “old friend from the past” “the man out of time (like Cpt America)” and overall as just being both the most consistent and unchanging of the FNAF crew. Foxy’s our rock.

[@absolutechadd8895]

Wanna recommend a few fics? 👀

[@djamtz]

More people seemed to see him as like anti-hero or the laid-back, doing his own thing guy

[@yeonhwajung4310]

He's even the most popular character in-universe! That's how awesome and iconic he is.

[@heatheroutre]

You joke about it but a Foxy/Baby mangle would be incredible

[@_V.Va_]

Foxy does not change because they knew not to tamper with perfection.

[@OhNoTheFace]

I would argue he still had the "different" attacks in 2 and 3. Especially 2 since he has the animated jump :D

[@CXSbunny]

Awesome video. Small side note, there are actually three more skins/characters who have the different forms, which being Toy Chica, High score Toy Chica and VR Toy Freddy

[@Mr.Feather130]

I am glad there’s still some fnaf fans who still appreciate the swiggity swooty pirate fox boi

[@pumpking1566]

When I was little I was a BIG fan of pirates, so obviously Foxy was my favorite. Now it's not necessarily the case but it will always be special for me. In all the games where he appears he always gave me a different vibe from the others. Besides, it's funny because although it's true that Funtime Foxy doesn't have a big role at all in any game in which he appears, I still think he's my favorite Foxy and I don't know why, but I clearly find that he has been underused. Besides, even if I don't really know if we can consider Lolbit as a "Foxy", maybe more like a variant of Mangle or just a character apart, I think he deserved at least to be mantioned in the video (as a FNAF World fan) Now I would say that Chica is my favorite (of the FNAF 1 gang) and that's why I would love to see a video about her.

[@silvercandra4275]

*_Why change something that's perfect?_* He's always been my fave, and he always will be. And I hope so much, that he won't be touched for a little bit, so when he makes an appearance again, it can once again, be charming and a at least somewhat terrifying.

[@Bofrab]

It’s kinda crazy how popular Foxy has always been. To think they almost ended up being a Wolf or Beaver.

[@Markm8]

I like ideal that the people who made the pizza plex are like “ok we can change up whatever we want BUT DONT CHANGE FOXY he makes so much money were not changing him at all”

[@taylorwright7428]

It probably isn't going to ever come up again, but I think Withered Foxy's voice in FNAF World works really well, not as a general Foxy voice, but for Withered Foxy specifically! It has a similar broken warbling sound like Withered Chica's and Withered Bonnie's voices, but less severe, which makes sense, considering he's the second least torn apart, after Withered Freddy. I honestly believe that's how he'd probably sound if he was in Ultimate Custom Night!

Getting a lack of Audio on my end on Mobile.

[@mirandapanda6592]

[@notrealnamenotatall2476]

It's weird. Someone else said the video was glitching out too. O.o I think it might be because the video is processing... again. After going through initial and HD processing, lol.

@notrealnamenotatall2476 that makes sense. I have had other videos deny anything past 144p on quality when i tried to watch them when they dropped in the 30min mark

[@tinhead_junk]

I feel like the reason why foxy is still the same after so long is because he was made with a theme while his bandmates didn’t outside their role in the band.

[@nepi7847]

the themes for the main ones would be guitar/bass, tophat and pizza

[@brandoncheever1897]

Speaking of characters that end in oxy, a Roxy analysis would be awesome. I love these character analysises

I am bit upset that foxy wasn't in security breach (well not physically) but Roxanne wolf is a pretty good character

[@deadmemes719]

Foxy is simply perfect the way he is. Roxy was a greatly appreciated reinvention, but Foxy is simply him. Pirates are cool

[@corbeaudejugement]

foxy was my favorite from the start and i am eternally grateful for his consistency. sure, he's had _some_ variance, but those designs never seem to stick around for more than a game. he always goes back to pirate.

But then I actually loved Roxanne wolf in the gameplay XD I mean Roxy is nice but.... FOXY IS THE BEST. I wish they somehow add Foxy in the dlc and make him on our side like Freddy. OMG it would be so cool.

0:30 It took me years- YEARS- to realize that Foxy is not holding a hand up to the camera. That's his chest?! 😂 I just thought to myself "wait, isn't that the wrong hand?" looked closer, and blew my whole mind. That aside, GREAT video! ❤ Foxy has always been a favorite of mine and I am so happy to see him unchanged and living his best life.

[@SixArmedSweater]

My theory about SB Foxy is that he’s a holdover from a previous version of the Fun Complex, and was popular enough that his sections survived rebranding.

[@thetealturtwig5667]

I like how the books specifically had Foxy (or atleast someone disguised as him) curse the kid. Mainly due to how superstitious pirates were it just fits tonely for him to do it.

[@draydenhotel9051]

[@viviennemorgan7217]

[@wastelandlegocheem]

Foxy in the first 2 games is my favorite for mixing up the gameplay. He encourages camera usage as even freddy cant come in if the camera is down/looking at him. foxy is stunned by all camera usage and increasingly takes more power. Withered foxy keeps you on your toes with balloon boy which is why the two are associated as friends by the fans and what really makes balloom boy dangerous.

[@waterdragon3367]

Foxy's my second favorite after Bonnie. Mostly due to his design but also him being the "speedy/funny" one.

[@nidgithm]

foxy still one of my faves ngl also for the voices thing: tbh somehow i personally do feel like both voices fit in a way? but the voice in fnaf world doesnt really fit how foxy would be performing as a character in a band, while the UCN voice really does. the fnaf world would fit more for idk "backstage" or like related to possession or something

[@pngdotjpeg]

genuinely, foxy is my favorite because of that Battington pirate's cove show animation. it's not even canon, but still: it slaps.

[@silverbullet7691]

I’m definitely not the only person to have thought of this but what if part of the planned rebranding of Bonnie Bowl was to bring in a pirate themed adventure section of Kid’s Cove. Realizing that kids were not forgetting about Bonnie, what if Fazbear Entertainment’s plan was to start hinting about a special character returning to the character line up just to slowly fade out Bonnie

[@RobinRhombus2]

VR Toy Freddy and High Score Toy Chica also have alternate forms.

I just had flashbacks to the swiggity swoogjty era of foxy

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

4:40 I think both are good. I've always seen the souls and animatronics as separate - at least in the earlier games, since back then they were, although the later and modern ones are.. debatable about that - so it makes sense that you'd have, obviously, the boisterous pre-programmed recordings or even synthesized-on-demand lines (they do have bipedal robots in, like, the '80s so it makes a bit of sense they probably could do that), and those would be the sort of lines you get in UCN. Maybe it's a soul integrated with the robot, or maybe it's just them speaking through the voice box because it's easier than projecting the words otherwise. But you'd have a separate voice, for those souls who are able to - and with Foxy, I could see that voice being this early, creepy one. It still sounds like it's coming from the depths of a machine, but it's the sort of thing you'd hear if he slowed down and was waiting outside your office door. Personal, genuinely what he's saying. The in-character lines are just that - things said behind the mask of the character. These don't have that distorting their meanings. I think it fits perfectly that Withered Foxy is on the joke icon for the game, because that's arguably the variant who would fit the voice best - other than perhaps Phantom Foxy, who _does_ just stand nearby you and would perhaps be saying things to draw your attention. Withered Foxy might not look like he would be well accepted on a stage, but he's definitely one of the coolest and scariest variants of the classic-style Foxy variants. In relation to your subsequent mention of Funtime Foxy - I will continue to point out that, based on the established roles each of the original four fills, Funtime Foxy is closer to what Chica's role would be. One of the lighter threats, even if one of the first, but a side character to the real standout one - Funtime Freddy - or the titular leader that becomes a bigger threat in the long run - Circus Baby herself. Yes, this does mean I would consider these versions a Foxy as a Chica, and a Freddy as a Foxy. You did miss classic Foxy being in SB, though - or, like, half of him. Y'know, in the pile of cables and heads in the basement. 10:02 I feel obligated to point out that I've never before now noticed that Bonnie's holding an axe as his tool and weapon of choice here. _Also Chica is portrayed as a siren rather than a part of the crew probably because of the women on ships thing but I'd rather ignore that part_ Okay, so, the books. Not a fan of what TFC did to the endo thing, because it fits him so well to be twitching in a dark corner in the back of a workshop while he's being built, and because the climax of TSE already has such a good payoff for that scene anyways, whereas the Baby version is like two lines that make little sense and add nothing to the conversation or story. Anyways, he's described in two different ways in the original novel itself - which the graphic adaptations do fuck all to be loyal to - and they both fit quite well. Firstly, he just kind of comes in and takes Jason for a while (and keeps him safe, because in his perspective there's like seven potentially-the-killer people around this kid), and we get a nice Jason perspective of Foxy coming back, where he's notably described as moving all the parts of his body, one at a time, just before he goes back to his spot on stage and enters a rest mode. I assume this is the soul being tired out in a way, and taking a short break, as well as an homage to how he acts in FNaF 1, of course. Secondly, during the peak of the climax, he's then described as having lithe, graceful movements, like an actual hunting animal. In fact, _all_ of the animatronics get a unique description for how they move - Freddy has a 'predatory trundle', Chica has enthusiastic but restrained movements, Bonnie is loud in intentional challenge to those around him, and Foxy is, again, lithe and agile. While none of the animatronics are depicted as particularly stupid or particularly smart, all of them have their moments, and Foxy's is also quite terrifying. He's smaller than the rest in his suit, but the same endo is driving those movements so he's _just_ as strong. Oh yeah, Step Closer is pretty good. Like a sort of violent and inverse parallel to the whole Crying Child storyline - although the ending felt a bit unneeded. It could've stopped with the truck.. or I guess it didn't, since that was the whole issue with that truck to begin with. I'm just going to completely ignore the whole 'oh it was actually Eleanor in disguise who decided to basically mess around as Foxy and literally cast a curse on some person with no explanation as to how or as to why she'd go through so much effort'. Just leave it at the spirits being supernatural and inexplicable, like it was intended to be.
