"Hear me..."

—Acephalous

"Tonight is mainly the same, save for a grayscale Mickey suit becoming active alongside Ortensia, Oswald's girlfriend from the cartoons, starting from the Storage Room. She will take a direct path to your office like the grayscale Mickey suit. Oh yeah, also save for a Goofy costume that will start in the Restrooms. Deal with them with the same way to did with the inverted Mickey costume, the Oswald suit, and the melted Mickey suit."

—Lisa mentioning how to defend from Hell Bound Goofy and the toons.

**Acephalous** is a major antagonist in the *Five Nights at Treasure Island* series.

**Acephalous** appears as the Quaternary and two-part antagonist in *Five Nights at Treasure Island*, *Five Nights at Treasure Island 2: Let The Show Begin*, *Five Nights at Treasure Island 2: The End of Disney* and *Five Nights at Treasure Island: 2017*, and is speculated to return in the upcoming sequel *Oblitus Casa*.

He is a toon resembling a distorted version of a headless Goofy mascot costume that wanders around the abandoned Treasure Island resort, stalking and trying to kill anyone who enters. Unlike the other toons (excluding Undying), he relies on sensing Jake's movement.

He is voiced by Swirlhead, while his classic variation is voiced by George W. Kush and formerly **Smashed Tomatoes**, whom also voices Suicide Mouse and George The Eyesore.

## Appearance

In both of his classic and official variations, Acephalous is a toon in the form of Goofy without a head, which remains uncorrupted unlike the rest of his body (although it's missing his long and droopy ears, and it always has its eyes closed), which is melting constantly. Like Goofy, Acephalous wears an orange sweater, white gloves, a black body, blue pants and brown shoes. His head is not missing, it is found in the Meat Freezer. On rare occasions, it can open it's eyes.

Classic Acephalous appears to be a very solid variation of his official counterpart, which means that he doesn't have any melting features. The only real difference between his classic and official variations is the color of his vest, which is yellow in the classic game and black in the official remake.

In the anniversary, Acephalous appears to be identical to his official counterpart, except for having a withered appearance instead of a melted appearance; much like the other characters. Rarely, his head can open his eyelids in the Freezer.

Abandoned Goofy appears identical to Classic Acephalous, however, unlike the other Acephalous' characters, his head is attached to his body (but this is the only repair). Much like the other toons, he is completely covered in dust. His head lacks one of his eyepupils.

Hell Bound Goofy appears to be identical to Classic Acephalous, but his head is attached on his body like Abandoned Goofy (but this is the only repair, unlike the other Acephalous' characters). He is severly torn, and bloody, and dusty, and very charred and burnt, and is missing several limbs. He has flesh at the top of his head, and also inside of his head. He lacks an arm, and a foot, and his droppy ears, and almost most of his nose. He has multiple holes throughout the body, and is missing a tooth. He also has flesh inside his mouth, and has phantom-like eyes.

## Behavior

### Official

Acephalous becomes active on Night 3 and starts in the Bathroom, crawling out from the bathroom stall. Acephalous will make his way towards the office by exiting the Bathroom and going through the Freezer. This makes his path much shorter (even shorter than Undying). Once he arrives at the office, he'll stand directly in front of you with one of his arms extended over the desk, and one of his hands gripping on the computer monitor. To prevent Acephalous from killing you, you'll have to stand completely still by holding CTRL, and, due to his blindness, it'll make Acephalous go away. Failure to do so will result in Acephalous to kill the player.

### Classic (and Anniversary and Five Nights at Treasure Island: 2017)

In the *Classic Mode*, Acephalous becomes active on Night 3 and starts in the Bathroom. Acephalous will approach the office by going through the Meat Freezer and will stand ominously behind your desk with his arms extended towards the player. To make him go away, you must disable a camera or hide under the desk until the player hears footsteps, luring him away from the office. Not doing so in time will result in Acephalous to kill the player.

### *Let The Show Begin*

Abandoned Goofy becomes active from Night 3 and onward, starting in the Backstage 2 before beginning to approach the office by going through the airvent located in the Storage Area; going in the same pattern as Abandoned Photo-Negative Mickey. Once he comes into the office, the player must generate the noise to lure him away from the office, otherwise he will kill the player.

### *The End of Disney*

Starting in the Restrooms, Hell Bound Goofy is very active starting on Night 3 and starts moving from 2AM onward. He will directly approach the office by heading through the Freezer down to the right entrance of the office. Once he enters the office, the player must click the button to electrocute him, luring him away from the office. If the player doesn't shock him in time, then Hell Bound Goofy will kill the player.

## Personality

Acephalous is clearly a tragic character, despite his murderous instincts and the little information given about him. As documented by the SSA, Acephalous desires revenge on an unknown female individual, often talking about them in detail and questioning why they did what they did to him, as well as if they really loved him at all. He's deeply troubled by whatever happened to him and only wants salvation.

Acephalous is also very intelligent. As a creature who's both blind and deaf due to his lack of a head, it's unclear how he navigates the building, although the SSA speculate he moves by detecting vibrations which make it easy as to figure out where to move to in order to reach the office.

## Trivia

* On rare occasions, Acephalous' head will open its eyes, but does not become a threat to the player if it does open its eyes.
	+ This is based off the classic and earlier variations of *FIve Nights at Treasure Island*, however, this hails from the development of *Abandoned: Discovery Island*, where Acephalous' head can be summoned by Purity if the player does not hide under the desk when she appears in the office, and will prevent the player from hiding under the desk.
	+ In A:DI, he can only be deterred by hiding under the desk instead of standing still.
* It is unclear as to why Classic Acephalous is deterred by the noise of a camera being turned off, since he appears headless and his head is missing his ears.
* By popular belief, the Classic Goofy traditionally wears a black jacket or "vest" when he appears to be featured in most of the Disney cartoons, as opposed to the yellow one Classic Acephalous is seen wearing in *Five Nights at Treasure Island*. This makes Acephalous' official counterpart, for the most part, is based off his Disney counterpart.
	+ However, despite popular belief, in some of the Disney incarnations, the Classic Goofy wears a yellow jacket instead of a black one, as seen in Kingdom Hearts.

* Acephalous' name originated from the word translated in Greek, dubbed "ἀκέφαλος", literally meaning "headless" or "without a head".
* In *Five Nights at Treasure Island:* **Remastered 2.0**'s development, an unused file shows Acephalous holding Disembodied in Character Prep 1. In the file release by AnArt1996, it shows an animation of Acephalous running out of Character Prep 1 while wearing Disembodied.
* If Acephalous is brefriended in A:DI, he will stay in the Janitor's Closet with his head attached to the body.
	+ That being said, the only way to befriend Acephalous in *Abandoned: Discovery Island* is to turn off the power while Acephalous is in the Meat Freezer.
