**Withered Jolly** is the titular and main antagonist of both Jolly 3: Chapter 1 and Jolly 3: Chapter 2. He is both an incarnation between a damaged, broken down version of Classic Jolly and Eric Smith in the Jolly Factory.

## Appearance

### Jolly 3: Chapter 1

Withered Jolly heavily resembles Classic Jolly from Jolly 2 as he is the same entity as him, except he is now withered and worn down. His original bright red skin from his times as Classic Jolly has now faded into a desaturated red, and looks dirty from the amount of years he was neglected. The smile on his mouth appears to have been torn across his head, along with having many other rips and tears throughout his body, to the point where one can see what appears to be flesh inside his body, much like Springtrap from Five Nights at Freddy's 3. His eyes look very similar to the Phantom animatronics' eyes from said game.

### Jolly 3: Chapter 2

Withered Jolly has the same model design as his counterpart from Chapter 1, albeit with a few differences. His suit is now more obviously red and saturated (likely due to the lighting) and he seems to have a slightly different damage look. However, the main difference is the lack of the animatronic head, revealing Eric's corpse head, which is red because it is the colour of his flesh, and it has portions of the forehead missing, revealing the skull inside the flesh and the endoskeleton embedded inside the head. You can even see an endoskeleton jaw in Eric's frowning mouth. There appear to also be wires present that dangle from his head, mouth and one of the holes on the forehead.

## Lore Relevance

Withered Jolly plays a huge part of the lore of Jolly 2-Jolly 3: Chapter 2. He's an incarnation of Eric Liam Smith who hid in the suit after police boarded the Jolly 2 ship. Unfortunately, the Springlocks crushed him from inside the suit, killing him. The good ending is a reference to him being freed, but apparently this is not the case. In Jolly 3: Chapter 2, in the good ending, the player truly free his soul, leaving him to rest.

## Trivia

### Jolly 3: Chapter: 1

* He is the only Withered animatronic who wasn't going to return in Jollibee's: As Above So Below before the game got cancelled.
	+ An in-universe reason as to why, would be because Withered Jolly got disposed of.
* In the game icon of the Jolly 3 demo, Withered Jolly is shown to have a large chunk of his head missing. It is unknown why, but it could possibly be a beta model of him.
* The reason Jolly looks blue in Jolly 3: Chapter 1 is because of the lighting. It is unknown why.
* According to the Cassette Guy from Night 3, someone got spaghetti all over Jolly and damaged him, indicating that someone died in him, with that "spaghetti" possibly being a misinterpretation of human organs.
* Withered Jolly's one of two characters to return as antagonists in Jolly 3: Chapter 2, with the other being Withered George.
* Withered Jolly doesn't speak in Chapter 1, but he does in Chapter 2, which is the exact opposite of how Withered Tweetie has lines while Shadow Tweetie doesn't.
* In Withered Jolly's jumpscare, it was confirmed by Weshek in 2022, that the red spikes that protrude out of Withered Jolly’s mouth are actually wires.

### Jolly 3: Chapter 2

* In one of the hidden minigames found while working towards the good ending, Liam Smith can be seen entering a room hiding from a guard. Eric hid in the Jolly suit in order to escape from a second unknown figure. The Springlock mechanisms in the suit fail when he stands up, and this person is presumably the corpse seen inside the Withered Jolly animatronic.
* Withered Jolly's silhouette can be seen in the main menu of without his head.
* The human head of Withered Jolly is actually an edited head from the Unity shop. The unedited head can also be seen in some pictures and the Jolly 3: Chapter 2 teaser.
* Withered Jolly's a bit similar to Springtrap, as they both have human corpses within them.
	+ They are also the only characters in the series to contain human corpses stuffed inside of them.
	+ Hetty from Jollibee's: As Above, So Below may also count, although she is only canon in the now-defunct Jollibee's lore.
* In the cameras, he can somehow use a shortcut and skip to CAM 9.
* He speaks only in Jolly Chapter 2, specifically in the game over screen after you die to him.
	+ When he speaks, he can say up to eight bad bee-related puns.
	+ Five of them are about bees themselves, another two are related to honey (which bees produce and are associated with), and another pun relates to stinging. (which bees do as a sort of defense)
* Withered Jolly's the only version of Jolly/Jollibee to move on the very first night. He does this in Chapter 2.
* You can almost entirely prevent Withered Jolly from moving on Night 1. This is because he will still stop moving when viewing him on the cameras, and Shadow Tweetie is not active until Night 2.
