Freddy Fazbear

Freddy as he appears in FNaf: Special Delivery

Freddy Fazbear is the titular antagonist of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, who later appears as multiple variations in the succeeding games. Freddy is an animatronic bear and children's entertainer housed at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, along with Bonnie and Chica. He is the mascot of the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza chain, and takes the role as the lead singer standing in the center in the band. Secretly Freddy and the other animatronics are haunted by children murdered by a man named William Afton, he and the others are now seeking revenge against their killer attacking any adults in the pizzeria after hours in blind rage.

He was the mascot when the first Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was opened since 1983. In 1987, he and the original animatronics were fallen into severe disrepair, and Freddy was replaced by his newer counterpart for the "improved" Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, Toy Freddy. After the pizzeria closed as well as the toys being scrapped, he and the original animatronics got refurbished for the new pizzeria, as of the events of the first game. However, after the closure of the new pizzeria, he and the animatronics got dismantled by their killer; his soul along with the others were presumably set free as evident by FNaF 3’s good ending.

## Physical Appearance

Freddy is a brown animatronic bear with a light shade of brown on both his stomach and puffy muzzle. On stage, he wears a black top hat, black bow tie with a neck strap, and wields a microphone with his right hand. He has thick black eyebrows, three-toed feet, and three blackish freckles on both sides of his muzzle. From his palms and underneath his fingers he has what appears to be paw-like prints. His round ears are articulated and are thus able to move backwards and forward (similar to the ears of several other animatronics). Freddy sports squarish, human-like teeth from his lower jaw, and, like most of the animatronics at the pizzeria (except for Foxy), has no visible teeth on his upper jaw. His fur color, in Help Wanted, is more desaturated while the texture is more matted and scratchy, but has a more reflective shiny suit in Special Delivery as if made of different material.

He has human handprints on the right side of his face and chin from the left, though they are difficult to locate. His irises are normally of a light, baby blue color, although, presumably for paranormal reasons, they become glossy-black when he is commonly seen on-camera and in one of his jumpscares, rather than his normal costume eyes. The only exceptions with him and his costume eyes are, in the group stare onstage, when he is coming down the East Hall, and when he is in the doorway when the power runs out. He and Foxy are the only two animatronics whose pupils glow white in the dark.

## Personality

Based on the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza theme song, during the day, Freddy loves to have fun and is also shown to be laid-back, easygoing, and happy-go-lucky.

However, during the night, Freddy is shown to be taunting constantly, laughing at the night guard and playing a song before triggering a jumpscare. He is also shown to be sneaky, as he moves in the shadows towards the night guard and even manages to slip through the door quietly without the guard noticing. This reveals a darker and taunting side of his personality.

In Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery, Freddy gets a new voice, his voice is very deep and a bit glitchy. Freddy is shown to be openly malicious, taunting, and loves to scare his victims, but some of his lines suggest that he is somewhat merciful. Overall, Freddy is shown to have a childlike sense of mischief and sadism.

## Functionality

With similar technology to the Funtime Animatronics that allow costume plates to be opened immediately, Freddy's bow tie allows the torso to open when the button is pressed, for easier access to the innards. His endoskeleton includes a safety latch, which is a strange metallic black and yellow wire that can extend a metal bar to lock it in place. Freddy's endoskeleton features a red button that powers said safety latch. Freddy's music box is tucked safely to the left of Freddy's endoskeleton.
