Sparky

## Sparky the Dog

**Sparky the Dog**, otherwise simply known as **Sparky**, is a minor character that appears in the Five Nights at Freddy's Movie. The character acts as a direct reference to a hoax originally made by Blrdnames with the help of artist Nyugen.

## **Appearance**

Sparky is a large, light-brown dog animatronic suit with long black ears and a red collar with a gold, bone-shaped nametag. His eyes are colored a dark orange, and he has a small collection of dark spots around his left eye and in between his eyes. His head reuses bits from the other animatronics, having Bonnie's face shape, Chica's eyebrows, Foxy's nose and Freddy's freckles.

While not viewable in the film, behind the scenes images show that Sparky appears to be a Springlock suit.

## **Story**

Sparky is a spare suit found in the storage room of Freddy's, lying on the floor alongside Shadow Freddy and the suit pieces of Torture Freddy. Later on into the movie, his suit is used to hide Hank's body.

## **Trivia**

* Sparky the Dog was the first ever FNaF hoax, being posted on tumblr by Blrdnames under the guise of a secret animatronic that the user struggled to get a photo of. The hoax became very infamous amongst fans, with many people on tumblr attempting to get him to spawn, as well as other users such as curiousInferno making posts in an attempt to prove the character's existence. Eventually, Blrdnames revealed that Sparky was a hoax on August 23rd, 2014. After the release of the film, Sparky's creator would go on to talk about him once more, seemingly being happy with his inclusion.
	+ Sparky's appearance in the storage room is likely in reference to the original hoax of Sparky having him located in the doorway to the backstage.
* Sparky is also referenced in the form of a minor location in the film, *Sparky's Diner*.
* Sparky's design in the film is vastly different to that of Blrdnames' original artwork. This is most likely because Bonnie was simply used as a base for his suit, as well as his presence in the film being minimal.
