## **History**

Foxy was built for the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in *FNaF 1* after the older pizzeria with the same name from *FNaF 2* is closed. Separated from the animatronic band, Foxy performs on Pirate Cove in the pizzeria. However, the Pirate Cove closed down due to unknown reason, and Foxy started to rot down due to being unused.

As seen in *FNaF 2* minigames, after five children had been killed by William Afton, their souls are put into the animatronics by Marionette, including Foxy. And since the killed children were reported missing, the pizzeria was closed down.

As shown in *FNaF 3* minigames, William Afton then found out about the trapped souls inside the animatronics, and decided to come back to the place and destroy them one by one. Foxy along with other animatronics are dismantled, which causes the souls to break free. Terrified by the spirits, William ran into the secret safe room in the restaurant and wear the Spring Bonnie suit to hide from them. However, the springlocks in the suit suddenly malfunctioned (possibly due to the rain water seeping into the building), causing the locks to fail, resulting in his brutal death. Finally, the souls fade away.

In Special Delivery, a rebuild of Foxy is made by the Fazbear Entertainment for the Fazbear Funtime Service, along with other animatronics.

He also makes an appearance in The Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience.

## **Behavior**

### *FNaF VR: Help Wanted*

#### Five Nights at Freddy's 1

Foxy is in three sections of the game. In the FNaF 1 office section, Foxy will sit in Pirate Cove, needing to be watched by the player to prevent him from rushing down the left hall. Should Foxy escape his cove, the player must quickly shut the left door before he arrives. Foxy also attacks the player if they attempt to walk too far or peak out of the office (VR version) or inspect the area outside the left door (non-VR version).

#### Parts and Service

Foxy is also in Parts and Service . In this section, the player will follow the HandUnit instructions and repair Foxy, by putting his head on, putting his left eye back in, and replacing the power modules along his body. Should the player fail by giving him the wrong eye, dropping a power module, putting the wrong power module in, or looking too far away from Foxy, Foxy will leave his seat and soon rush at the player, jumpscaring them and ending their run.

### *FNaF AR: Special Delivery*

Foxy is one of the animatronics the player can encounter, though he is more rare than the other main four. He usually appears when the player has a streak of about 3-4 or higher. He will run around the player in circle, taunting the player. He will fake charge the player, only his eyes visible. He will often appear right in front of the player, twitching violently, and the player must quickly look away from him to avoid a jumpscare. When Foxy becomes visible during a charge, the player must shock him.

### *Freddy In Space 2*

Foxy is one of the playable characters that can be unlocked by rescuing him in Lunar Mines level. His attack has low damage, low range, and low spread, thus Foxy isn't very good for combat. However, he has the highest jump height among all the playable characters, and is able to jump high enough to reach places that other characters are unable to reach. Foxy in Freddy in Space 2 also has a flamethrower, which can be upgraded through experience points (through the shop or fighting enemies).

Also, when placing Foxy's right eye back in, all eyes in the drawer will be glowing yellow, most with smudges on them. The player must choose the eye with no smudges in order to avoid a jumpscare. The drawers are all numbered 1, possibly to confuse the players as to which drawer has the correct fuse. Also, looking away from Foxy once his head is back on will give him a chance to slip away and get the player. In terms of aesthetic changes, the area around the player and Foxy is now on fire.

## **Trivia**

### *FNaF VR: Help Wanted*

* Foxy used to be in the Five Nights at Freddy's 2 challenge as well, and had the role of Withered Foxy. However, he was then removed from the challenge when the Withered Animatronics were officially added into the game.
* If the player closes the door in Five Nights at Freddy's 1 levels of *Help Wanted* when Foxy is coming, the player has to wait a few seconds before opening the door again, otherwise Foxy will get in the office anyway, unlike the original FNaF 1 when the player can open the door as soon as he starts knocking.
* Strangely in the non-VR version of *Help Wanted*, the player can somehow inspect the area outside the left door even when the door is closed, triggering Foxy's attack. However, Foxy will not actually attack the player, but instead knock on the door and drain the office's power as the door is closed.
* While the four FNaF 1 characters have their own unused Blacklight counterparts, Foxy is the only character whose model is plain white. This is primarily the reason as to why many fans view him as a separate entity.
	+ This was corrected in the Flatmode update where you are not jumpscared by a monochromatic Burnt Foxy.
* Despite not being in the main game, Foxy's voice actor, Chris McCullough, reprised his role for the Curse of Dreadbear DLC for the[Afraid of the Dark Pirate Ride minigame.
* On the Oculus Quest, Captain Foxy gained a unique jumpscare that he did not have previously.
	+ Originally, he had just used Foxy's jumpscare.

### *FNaF AR: Special Delivery*

* Despite wearing a suit, Foxy makes a sound as if he is lighter than a Bare Endo, showing no sign of weight when roaming or charging.
* Foxy and Circus Baby are the only characters to ever speak as they charge.
* Foxy mentions having a bird in one of his quotes, but he is never seen with a bird in any of the *Five Nights at Freddy's* games.
	+ However, some of the cutouts in the Pirate Ride from *Curse of Dreadbear* depicted him with a green parrot, which could imply that he had one at some point, likely prior to becoming disrepaired.
		- Said parrot resembles that of Rockstar Foxy from *Pizzeria Simulator.*
* Foxy is the first animatronic to get a skin in the Wasteland Event, being *Radioactive Foxy*.
	+ This is also Foxy's first skin in FNaF AR Special Delivery.
* Radioactive Foxy is the first of few skins that has a different pose and animation compared to its original counterpart.
	+ The other skins being Toxic Springtrap and Firework Freddy.
* Big Bad Foxy has two different appearances based off what gameplay segment he's viewed from.
	+ The second form is a grandma disguise, which harkens back to how in the original fairytale, the Big Bad Wolf dresses up as Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother in an attempt to trick her.
	+ He is the first skin to do this since the Arcade Mayhem event.
* Both versions of Big Bad Foxy have 3D profile icons.
	+ This implies that once VR Toy Freddy and Highscore Toy Chica gain their own, they will also gain two for each of their separate forms.
* Big Bad Foxy was leaked before the Scary Tales Event started despite not being the skin to start the event off.
	+ This most likely happened due to his assets being added because the Event going back to it's normal schedule once it started.
* Radioactive Foxy returns as Poison Foxy in the game Security Breach Fury's Rage.
