Balloon Baby

* Classic
* Withered

**Balloon Baby** is a side entertainer and balloon vendor, who is separated from the classic animatronics that appears within the first nights of Five Night's at Freddy's: JR's. He has unique mechanics that no other character has, and is easy to come to a conclusion if Balloon Baby is haunted.

During the final act of JR's, you must face off a more aggressive, withered version of Balloon Baby known as **Withered Balloon Baby** for the first few hours of the act. He can be counter has the generic route, going into the hallway, to the left party room to the vents, and into your office. While the act plays through, Balloon Baby alongside the rest of the animatronics is forced to sacrifice himself to create the amalgamation known as The Mangle.

## Appearance

### Balloon Baby

Balloon Baby has features extremely similar to his original counterpart, with familiar features such as Balloon Boy's propeller hat and balloon. Balloon Baby completely lacks the "Balloons!" sign that is seen on Balloon Boy. He wears a baggy shirt with a cuffed white undershirt. Four buttons can be seen holding up his shirt with multiple stitches across his arm pieces on his shirt, alongside white gloves.

His face consists of a glass-like material similar to a doll, most likely porcelain, with multiple smudges and faded parts of his face obviously shown. His eyes completely lack a color, instead having a dilated, black pupils with no color besides an illustrated shine within the pupils.

### Withered Balloon Baby

Withered Balloon Baby isn't that withered, with multiple features still being very intact. His face, however, has been shattered. The cracks in his face are meant to represent cracks in glass similar to a doll's head, and multiple parts of Withered Balloon Baby's endoskeleton can be seen vaguely. Some parts of Balloon Baby's sweater has some tears in it, although still stays intact with multiple layers of fabric. Oddly enough, he also gains an extra button in the middle of his shirt, which is notably bigger than the rest of the buttons.

## Mechanics

Balloon Boy's mechanics stay the same throughout all nights except the final night, where he becomes Withered Balloon Baby. Whether or not Balloon Baby is haunted is easy to deduce. To figure out if he is haunted, his status bar in the Animatronic Stability menu will glitch out, making Balloon Baby's stability level a rapidly changing value. Selecting him as the haunted animatronic will remedy this.

### Final Act

Withered Balloon Baby has a unique feature, and that feature is that he is the only animatronic that doesn't jumpscare The Protagonist at all during his stay in the Basement. After taking the same route that Withered Bonnie takes, if you don't don the mask after his fourth laugh, which his laugh can indicate how close he is. (first laugh means he exits the Game Area, second laugh means he is in the second party room, third laugh means he is in the left air vent, fourth laugh mean's he is inside your office vent and you must don your mask)

Failing to don your mask in time will result in Withered Balloon Baby stealing the batteries in your flashlight, and staying in your office. Without the lights, you cannot flash the flashlight on cameras, the hallway, or the office vent lights. Withered Foxy will then shortly jumpscare you after if he is in the hallway.

## Trivia

* He is the only Withered Animatronic that is unable to kill the player, which is interesting considering that his normal counterpart can.
	+ The reason to this is that the mechanics in the final night plays out similarly to the original FNaF 2, where Balloon Baby's original counterpart is extremely harmless but a threat not to be underestimated as he will disable your light source. Preventing the player from shining the hallway in front of them.
