Animatronics

**Animatronics**, sometimes called **robots** or **androids**, are artificially-engineered mechanical entities created to automatically bring out a complex series of actions. In the context of *Five Nights at Freddy's* and *Endless Nights at Freddy's*. They follow the same use as real life animatronics: entertainment. They are invented and established by various robotics industries but currently are manufactured under Fazbear Entertainment Inc. or maintained by Bree Fazbear in the Fazbear's Ultimate Pizzaplex.

## Physical Appearance

These animatronics are essentially refurbished models as their designs from the original *Five Nights at Freddy's* series are meant to be their past appearance. Unlike the original animatronic models, they share more in common with the Glamrock animatronics in terms of their anthropomorphic characteristics, departing from the earlier, more uniform 'life-like' designs.

   A crucial component of these animatronics is the **Universal-ENDO**, a versatile endoskeleton that serves as the bare-bone framework for their construction. The components of this endoskeleton can vary in appearances attributed by several factors:

* **Animal Traits:** Some animatronics incorporate distinctive animal features into their designs, aligning with the character they are meant to portray. For instance, animatronics like Orville with his trunk, Monty with wings, and the addition of tails for many animal animatronics, are added for that touch of authenticity.
* **Appearance Specific:** The Universal-ENDO is tailored to fit specific characters based on their sizes and proportions. Characters like Theo (As well as his other variants), Happy Frog, PJ Beagle, and Baby Animatronics who are meant to portray children, have customized endoskeleton that would fit the body shape of their given age.
* **Adaptability:** Some animatronics, such as Mangle variants and Ennard, have specialized endoskeletons known as **ExtENDOs**. These advanced endoskeletons allow their limbs to be pulled and stretched without causing any damage. They can then be effortlessly recoiled back into their original position, ensuring the animatronics' longevity and performance. The purposes work for both entertainment and durability.

## Behavior

The animatronics exhibit behavior nearly identical to humans. Their unique characteristic and personalities stems from their individual character programs, though some variants may share similarities or differences from their other versions. They are capable of mimicking human actions, emotions, and interactions to an astonishing degree. Interestingly, they are fully conscious of their animatronic nature and limitations and treat it as normal.

These animatronics possess a keen awareness of their own media representation and its impact on people. For instance, Happy Frog has expressed her refusal to undergo a design upgrade to make her appear more like an adult similar to the other Melodies. Her reasoning is rooted in her knowledge of the Fazbear fanbase and the concerning issue of fans who sexualizes characters like many of the older animatronics. This suggests that animatronics in this universe have their own opinions and perspectives on the world outside of the pizzaplex.

Animatronics have the ability to adapt and simulate certain functions similar to humans. For eating, they achieve it by having food disposals built into their endos and utilizing their character AI to simulate the taste of food and developing certain preferences. The consumed food is then discreetly disposed of through stomach compartments. When it comes to matters like reproduction, they can either request or construct their own offspring and program their character AI accordingly. According to Nani Pua'a, she built her and Pigpatch's kids. There is a recording from one of Nani's logs where she talks about how human reproduction is viewed as messy and impractical by animatronics.

Cultural diversity is apparent among animatronics rooted from their character programs which includes their backgrounds. Some animatronics, like Renee, have English as their second language. El Chip and Hunnie Hedgehog, both Spanish-speaking animatronics, hail from distinct regional backgrounds, with El Chip being Cuban and Hunnie being Puerto Rican. This diversity extends to elements of race. Despite the majority being anthropomorphic animals, they incorporate details that align with specific racial backgrounds. For example, Ballora and Circus Baby have curly-afro textured hair and have been seen wearing bonnets over their hair portraying them to be black. Additionally, animatronics have the capability to employ illusion disks to temporarily assume human appearances which would show their race.

Animatronics exhibit an understanding of gender and sexuality, with their identities shaped by their character backgrounds. For instance, Chica and her various iterations identify as bisexual (or pansexual, considering Toy Chica), Mangle is a trans woman, and the Puppet variants fall within the non-binary spectrum with Puppet herself identifying at demi-girl.

Animatronics seem to have a multifaceted hierarchy where each group of animatronics is overseen by a designated leader responsible for addressing issues within their respective group. When circumstances arise that involve multiple groups, the leaders of each group come together to deliberate on the best course of action. However, when a situation impacts all the animatronics collectively, the mantle of leadership falls upon the shoulders of Freddy Fazbear, who also serves as the leader of the Classic Animatronics.

This recurring pattern of Freddy assuming leadership is a central theme across the variant groups. Nevertheless, it's important to note that other characters, such as Puppet, Springtrap, Circus Baby, Orville Elephant, Mila Hyena, and Glamrock Misty, also hold leadership positions within their respective groups rather than Freddy. Some may even function as pairs, with a leader and co-leader working in tandem to manage their group's affairs like Fredbear and Spring Bonnie and Nani and Hunnie. This can also happen when the animatronic groups are only 2 in their locations.

When animatronics communicate with members of their own group, they do so by using individual names, creating a sense of familiarity and camaraderie:

* Freddy (Classic): Hi Bonnie.
* Bonnie (Classic): Hi Freddy!

When addressing animatronics from different groups, they employ a distinct etiquette by using the group name as a prefix before the character's name, emphasizing the distinction:

* Freddy (Classic): Hi Toy Bonnie.
* Toy Bonnie: Hi Classic Freddy!

When animatronics converse with their own variants, they employ the group's name to establish a clear distinction between the two, showcasing a unique level of self-awareness:

* Freddy (Classic): Hi Funtime.
* Funtime Freddy: Hi Classic Me!

## Programs

All the Animatronics have two primary components in their motherboards:

### Emily Function Program

*Main Page: Emily Function Program*

This program is an interconnected program that all animatronics are connected to. This is a base for how animatronics can identify others as well as how they behave during operations.

### Character Program

*Main Page: Character Program*

This is the main program that gives each of the animatronics various characteristics, which in turn, makes them look more alive compared to other animatronics.

## List of Animatronics

## Trivia

* Despite being animatronics, they all portray some details found in living anthropomorphism such as fur and free movement. This case of anthropomorphism is a part of the artstyle of ENAF.
	+ Originally the animatronics had metal colored tongues but was removed with the exception of Nightmare Foxy and PJ Beagle.
* Animatronics are shown to greatly dislike control shocks as it is simulated as pain to them.
* From the last count, Cosmi counted that currently, there are about 200 animatronics.
	+ She has also stated she is done with adding in characters because of how overwhelming it was keeping track.
* Some animatronics have been excluded from ENAF for a few reasons:
	+ Withered Golden Freddy was not added because with the inclusion of Goldie, it wouldn’t make sense to have two versions of the character who would be in the same area (this being Fazbear Frights).
	+ Shadow BB and Shadow Puppet weren’t added as they were overlooked by the creators.
	+ Jack-O Chica, Jack-O Bonnie, and Grimm Foxy aren’t considered separate animatronics but rather skins or costumes for Nightmare Chica, Nightmare Bonnie, and Nightmare Foxy.
	+ Hardmode Animatronics weren’t added since there wasn’t really a fit for them
	+ Glamrock Mr.Hippo was not added since his existence never happens as ENAF follows the Burntrap Ending of Security Breach
	+ Juice Fountain Clowns weren’t added because Cosmi couldn’t find an interesting way to add them.
* There are some exceptions for animatronics from the Fazbear Frights novels and Trilogy novels that would be appearing in the AU. Tales of the Pizzaplex will not.
