 **First Appearance**

**Withered Freddy** is the older model model of Freddy Fazbear. he makes an appearance in *Five Nights at Freddy's 2* as the titular antagonist. He, along with the four other older animatronics have all fallen into severe disrepair. He is replaced by his newer counterpart, Toy Freddy.

## Appearance

Out of all of the original animatronics, Freddy seems to be the least damaged. His old appearance was seen best in the first promotional image released by Scott Cawthon, the game's developer (*see in the Gallery tab*). In-game, it is explained that he has gone through an attempted retrofit, but was left unfinished after the management chose to make Toy Freddy.

His overall appearance is unchanged, but small differences are visible - mainly the buttons added to his chest, and the more visible stitching on the underside of his arms. Most notably, however, is the damage on his arms similar to that of Foxy's, showing parts of his endoskeleton. He also seems to be lacking kneecaps. Additionally, both of his knees are damaged; with visible wires poking out of his left knee. His body segment is also smaller and his hat is removable, as it is seen sitting on the floor next to him in the Parts/Service room.

This time around, Freddy has an upper set of teeth, while his head appears far blockier. His freckles are gone, his eyebrows are thinner, and he has embossed inner ears. His eyes are in a slightly different position, meaning one of his eyes go up and down, and also seem to have been placed deeper within the mask. Also, his muzzle appears to be smaller and much rounder. The reason for his disrepair is from neglect by the company and the fact that he is simply used as spare parts for the newer animatronics.

## Location

Freddy starts moving on Night 2, although very inactive on said night, and activity only picks up on Night 3. Freddy starts the night in the Parts/Service room, looking rather dazed, with the other old animatronics, with Freddy being the last to exit the room. He then enters into the Main Hall and then to Party Room 3 to stare into the camera, before standing in the hallway just outside The Office, only a step away from entering.

## Behavior

Unlike the other old animatronics, Freddy is far less active and goes into the Office much more rarely than the others, However, he has a similar role to them and is still an incredibly active animatronic. As with Bonnie and Chica, Freddy does not appear to become active enough to enter The Office until Night 3, as he did in the original game. Freddy takes the path down the entrance hallway, entering The Office through said hallway, similar to Toy Freddy.

When Freddy is in the hallway and the player lowers the Monitor, Freddy will stand in front of the desk as the lights constantly flicker before he vanishes. The player must put on the Freddy Fazbear Head *the moment* they see Freddy inside The Office to avoid imminent death. Delaying or neglecting to don the head will cause the screen to black out as normal, only for him to return and give the player a *Game Over* after raising and lowering the Monitor. He may also forcibly pull down the Monitor or remove the Freddy Head if left on some time after failing to ward him off. However, if Freddy *is* warded off via equipping the Freddy Fazbear Head, then he returns to Parts/Service, and his cycle repeats. It is important to note that unlike Bonnie and Chica, Freddy will *never* forcibly pull down the Monitor while entering the Office. However, staying too long in the Monitor while he's in the hallway will *immediately* trigger his jumpscare without entering the Office.
