**Foxy the Pirate Fox**, otherwise known simply as **Foxy**, is one of the antagonists in Five Nights at Freddy's, and is a returning character in Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted and Five Nights at Freddy's AR: Special Delivery. His alter ego, **Captain Foxy**, makes appearances in Help Wanted's Curse of Dreadbear DLC, as well as Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2.

## **Appearance**

Foxy is a large, animatronic pirate fox with red fur. He has a black nose with freckles in the same color on each side of his muzzle, which has a lighter crimson-tan color. This same color covers his chest and belly. He also has thin, dark red eyebrows, and a tuft of fur on the top of his head.

Foxy's eyes have yellow irises and black pupils, with a black eye patch covering his right eye. He has a black hook with a black rim replacing his right hand. Foxy's body is heavily damaged, sporting a number of tears on his torso and legs. His endoskeleton on his left hand, shins and feet are left completely exposed.

### *Freddy in Space 2*

Foxy is a fox with red fur. He only has one visible eye, which is yellow. His other eye is covered by a black eyepatch. He sports a green vest with a yellow stripe on it. One of his hands have been replaced with a hook, while the other has been replaced with a flamethrower. His legs are grey and metallic, implying they're cybernetic implants.

## **History**

Foxy was built for the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in *FNaF 1* after the older pizzeria bearing 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 reasons, and Foxy started to rot due to being left unused.

As seen in the *FNaF 2* minigames, after five children had been killed by William Afton, their souls were put into the animatronics by The 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 Freddy's and destroy them one by one. Foxy along with other animatronics are dismantled, which caused 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 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).

#### Foxy Repair

Foxy is also in a repair section. In this section, the player will follow the computer's voice 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).

### *FNaF: Help Wanted 2*

Foxy, or more specifically Captain Foxy, returns in Help Wanted 2 with a similar level to his original Pirate Ride level in Curse of Dreadbear. In this level, Captain Foxy holds mostly the same role, introducing the player to the ride, narrating throughout the ride, and then judging the player's score at the end of the ride. Just like the original, if the player's score is too low, Captain Foxy will jumpscare them.

## **Skins**

### *FNaF VR: Help Wanted*

* Burnt Foxy
* Dark Foxy
* Captain Foxy

In *Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted's* blacklight modes, Foxy is replaced by his blacklight counterpart, **Burnt Foxy**. He replaces Foxy in the blacklight mode of Parts and Service and Night Terrors.

#### Appearance

Burnt Foxy's model is identical to his original counterpart, only reskinned with a different textures and to reflect the blacklight mode. He has a nearly charred-looking suit and a gleam orange eyes that lack pupils.

#### Behavior

Burnt Foxy's behavior in game is exactly the same as the original Foxy. The main change in Foxy's Blacklight level is that the fuses now flash different colors and must have their placement timed, or else the player will be attacked. 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.

Dark Foxy is an alternative version of Foxy that appears in the FNaF 1's Hard Mode level. While not referred to as a separate entity within the files, he had been considered to be an alternate variant by many fans before being made an official character via the Character Encyclopedia.

#### Appearance

Dark Foxy is almost exactly identical to that of regular Foxy, with the primary difference being that his colors are entirely monochromatic & his eye is pure white.

#### Behavior

Dark Foxy behaves in the same way that Foxy does, where he will sit in Pirate Cove, needing to be watched by the player to prevent him from rushing down the left hall. Should Dark Foxy leave the cove, the player must quickly shut the left door before he arrives. He also attacks if the player looks outside their office (flat-mode only).

Captain Foxy is a version of Foxy that appears in the beginning and end of the second Afraid of the Dark level, Pirate Ride.

#### Appearance

Captain Foxy looks exactly like the normal Foxy, however now dawns pirate attire. He wears a black pirate's hat with a logo featuring a skull and cross-bones with Foxy's head as a skull. He wears a large teal coat with gold buttons and shoulder pads. Finally, he features a large black belt with a golden buckle strapped around his chest underneath his coat.

#### Behavior

He appears at the beginning of Pirate Ride, giving the player a basic summary of the minigame, and informing them on how to help him on his "journey". He also appears as an illustration in different shooting areas, narrating the events of the story. If the player gets too low a score, Foxy will end their run with a jumpscare.

## **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 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 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.
* Radioactive Foxy's mystery mini strangely uses Mangle's mystery mini mold rather than Foxy's, as seen by the eyelashes on the figure.

### *Freddy In Space 2*

* Despite being in space, Foxy is the one of the only playable characters that are not wearing a space suit.
	+ The others being The Puppet and Golden Freddy.
