Scrapped Characters

FNaF is no stranger to scrapped character designs. Whether it be design changes or complete animatronics, the franchise has had it's fair share of scrapped characters.

## **FNaF**

### **Beta Designs**

FNaF 1 originally had beta designs for both Endo-01, and Freddy. Endo-01's original design showed a larger mouth, with much sharper teeth. His eyes were also black, with red pupils and thin white rings around the pupils. These minor changes seemed to be the only changes, as we only see the head of the design.

Along with this, Freddy has a slight design change that's viewable within the *Backstage* camera. On this camera, there are 3 Freddy heads that have significantly smaller cheeks and missing eyebrows. It was most likely the first modeled head for Freddy that Scott had stuck in the backstage as a background prop.

### **Scrapped Characters**

Originally, Scott had considered making a *Beaver* the original main antagonist, most likely due to reviews for Chipper and Sons' Lumber Co. being his main inspiration for FNaF. This was scrapped early on in favor of Freddy.

In an interview with *Dawko*, Scott explained that Foxy was the hardest animatronic to come up with, as he struggled to decide on an animal for the animatronic. Scott explains that he had considered a *Wolf animatronic*, and reconsidered the previously mentioned Beaver for Foxy. Both were scrapped for the titular pirate fox early on, and neither were given designs.

## **FNaF: Sister Location**

FNaF Sister Location, while not having scrapped characters, features two beta designs for Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy. Funtime Foxy's beta design is more or less the same, the main difference being the purple coloration instead of pink and the missing bowtie. Funtime Freddy's however was much more drastic. Funtime Freddy originally had no speaker, and instead had 4 black buttons along his chest. Funtime Freddy also had pink coloration instead of his normal purple. However, by far the most interesting difference is that Funtime Freddy lacked Bon-bon entirely in his original design, and had both hands.

## **FNaF VR: Help Wanted**

FNaF VR has the biggest amount of scrapped and beta character designs, as it is the first FNaF game where the files where completely viewable.

### **The Blacklight Characters**

Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy all originally had textures and colors that were akin the the Blacklight merchandise. The toy company Funko had released a wave of brightly colored figures called the "Blacklights" which is what the original hardmode variants were meant to be based on. The files show fully textured versions of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Cupcake, however Foxy's was left untextured; most likely due to being scrapped.

### **The Burnt Freddles**

In the *Curse of Dreadbear* DLC game files, there is a different texture for The Freddles that is left unused. It was apparently supposed to be for Build-a-Mangle level in the Spooky Mansion section (presumably Hard Mode which is not available in *Curse of Dreadbear*). The texture looks burnt, thus the name Burnt Freddles was given.

### **Nightmare "Freddybear"**

In the early versions of the game, as seen through teasers and the trailer, Nightmare Fredbear's textures were completely the wrong colors, matching Nightmare Freddy instead of Nightmare Fredbear.

As seen in later screenshots and teasers, and by playing the game itself, his textures were reverted back to Fredbear's normal colors.

### **Spring Bonnie**

In the first few teasers for VR, Spring Bonnie was heavily implied to have been in the game at some point in development. However, in a later teaser Spring Bonnie was swapped out in favor of Nightmarionne, most likely due to them being cut from the game. Along with this, within the files, there is an unused Spring Bonnie texture. Spring Bonnie may have been cut in favor for Glitchtrap, as he is a version of Spring Bonnie.

### **Leftover Glitchtrap**

Inside the files, a leftover and untextured model for Springtrap can be found. Said model is also labeled "Glitchtrap". It has no physical differences between it and Springtrap, with the exception of a small stitch-like indent on the upper left-hand side of his torso and another on it's left thigh. It may be possible that this was supposed to be the original Glitchtrap, as it is the origin of Glitchtrap's name, but this is uncertain.
