==Summary==
Mimic1, also known as The Mimic, is the main antagonist of the Steel Wool Studios series of Five Nights At Freddy's and the Tales from the Pizzaplex series. states that the stories contained in the Tales from the Pizzaplex books take place in the "world of the new and upcoming Freddy games", meaning they would share the continuity with the Cooperative series era games' story. This is unlike with the Fazbear Frights series, which is stated to contain stories either directly connected to or disconnected from the games, and is marketed as coming from . As Glitchtrap, it served as the main antagonist of the Help Wanted duology, and the overarching antagonist of Security Breach. Its physical body makes its debut in the Ruin DLC, acting as the primary antagonist as it deceives Cassie into releasing it. 
It is an artificial intelligence created by a man named Edwin Murray, designed to copy movement and behavior from his son David Murray, acting as his personal playmate while Edwin worked. However, after his son died from a tragic accident, Edwin takes his rage out on The Mimic and beats it with a metal rod. As a result, The Mimic learned violence due to Edwin's actions.
When a team of Fazbear employees were sent to clean up and retrieve Edwin's projects, they stumble upon a deactivated Mimic. Upon repair, it springs to life and murders every single one, as well as the next team that follows after. Fazbear Entertainment was eventually successful in acquiring The Mimic, producing the Mimic endo line which would observe and replicate show routines while using its original programming. Yet after the Mimic began to imitate humans in unintended ways, the Mimic line was scrapped out of fear.
While the Mega Pizzaplex was under construction, the original Mimic1 was brought in the buried Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place to help the crew, yet ended up slaughtering everybody inside. Meanwhile, its A.I. manifests inside a VR game in the form of a virus called Glitchtrap, after its circuit boards — presumably belonging to the old Mimic endos — were scanned and uploaded in the game to influence enemy pathfinding. While its endoskeleton remained trapped beneath the Pizzaplex, the virus worked behind the scenes to set itself free.
