Nightmare Animatronics

The **nightmare animatronics** are heavily withered, exaggeratedly monstrous versions of the existing animatronics that reside in the child protagonist's house.

They first appeared in *Five Nights at Freddy's 4* as primary antagonists. Some of them returned in *Ultimate Custom Night* and *Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted*. They also returned in *Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery*, however currently, it's only the Jack-O-Animatronics and Plushtrap. Nightmare Freddy, Nightmare Bonnie, Nightmare Chica, Nightmare Foxy, and Nightmarionne are also confirmed to arrive to *Special Delivery* in the future.

## Physical Appearance

Alongside with the twisted animatronics from the novel trilogy's universe, the nightmare animatronics appear as the most menacing out of all animatronic classes.

Most of the nightmare animatronics are featured with a deteriorated appearance with a big series of rips and holes all over, sporting a total of ten fingers with spike-like claws/nails, an excessive amount of long dangerously sharp teeth (found in both the structure of the animatronics and the endoskeletons), and small metallic eyes. Their endoskeleton heads look suspiciously similar to that of a human skull, with a line of indentations down their forehead.

## Functionality

Although not much is known, it's apparent that they were not made to be used for Fazbear Entertainment's restaurants, due to their grotesque appearances. Their behavioral function is that of a sadistic, feral beast, and they can possibly use their gnarly claws and teeth to kill their pursued victims.
