| “ | The animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay. So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. They're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. They used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was the Bite of '87... yeah. I-it's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know? | „ |

The Animatronics are the main antagonists of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.
As their name suggests, they are robotic animals or humanoids created by Fazbear Entertainment and Afton Robotics to entertain children at pizzerias and fast-food restaurants. Most of the animatronics, particularly the classic ones, are haunted by the ghosts of children murdered and stuffed into the mascot suits by the serial killer and franchise's main antagonist William Afton. In their pursuit of vengeance against him, they became extremely aggressive towards adults, outright attacking those still at the pizzeria after nightfall with intent to kill. William himself would eventually share their fate, only to become something far worse than his victims.
At this point in the series' timeline, the majority of the animatronics have been destroyed and absorbed into Tangle underneath Freddy Fazbear's Mega PizzaPlex. Otherwise, most of the currently active animatronics are either stationed at the aforementioned Freddy Fazbear Mega PizzaPlex or are duplicates of the original animatronics created by the Fazbear Funtime Service.
Types[]
Classic/Withered Animatronics[]
The second animatronics to be made, these have basic designs, exoskeletons made out of plastic with a furry texture, and very few enhancements. They were also known as Withered animatronics when they fell into disrepair after the first Freddy Fazbear's was closed. The one exception to both of there is the Puppet, who has an unique design and never fell into disrepair. The Withereds were eventually repaired and reused for another Freddy's, but left to rot when that restaurant also shut down. Thirty years later, their parts and suits were found and used as props for the Fazbear's Fright horror attraction after being destroyed by William Afton. The few props that survived when Fazbear's Fright burned down were sold on an auction. The Puppet, meanwhile, got captured by Lefty and incinerated alongside Springtrap and the Funtime animatronics. All five of the animatronics are possessed by William's victims, seeking to avenge their deaths.
- Freddy Fazbear
- Bonnie the Bunny
- Chica the Chicken
- Foxy the Pirate
- Golden Freddy - A ghost-like animatronic with the appearance of Fredbear possessed by one of William's victims.
- The Puppet
Springlock Animatronics/Mascots[]
The first animatronics created by Henry Emily and William Afton, these animatronics have springlocks that clamp the endoskeleton parts to the sides of the costume, allowing them to be worn by performers. Actually using them as suits was very dangerous however, since the springlocks were very sensitive and could by easily set off, causing the parts to snap back into place and mutilate or even kill its wearer. They were mainly used in Fredbear's Family Diner, before an accident made them be deemed too dangerous and were discontinued. While the fate of the Fredbear suits remains unknown, one of the Spring Bonnie suits eventually claimed Afton as a victim, but the man possessed the robot and became Springtrap, before a fire transformed him into Scraptrap.
- Fredbear
- Spring Bonnie (later Springtrap/Scraptrap)
Shadows[]
Mysterious animatronic-ghosts like appearance which are connected to things like spirits, remnant, agony, rage, and possibly other supernatural things. While Shadow Bonnie's morality is ambiguous given how he committed both good and evil acts, Shadow Freddy seems to be more actively malicious given how he teamed up with Afton. They are characterized by their dark bodies and glowing eyes and teeth.
- Shadow Freddy
- Shadow Bonnie/RWQFSFASXC
- Shadow Dee Dee/XOR
Toy Animatronics[]
These animatronics were created to replace the classic animatronics when Freddy Fazbear's Pizza had its grand reopening, but have more cutesy and cartoonish designs and suits made completely out of plastic. They also have built-in criminal detection software linked to a criminal database, allowing them to detect felons such as William Afton. The Toy animatronics were scrapped when one of them bit a customer and the pizzeria had to close down again after a few weeks. It is unknown if the Toy animatronics are possessed or just simply an advanced animatronics, although they are heavily implied to be possessed by second set of missing children incident in FNAF 2 SAVE THEM minigame.
Phantom Animatronics[]
These animatronics are ghostly hallucinations created by agony who lurk the halls of "Fazbear's Fright: The Horror Attraction", able to cause malfunctions to the equipment in the building. Their fate remains unknown after Fazbear's Fright burned down, but they weren't seen again so it can be presumed they disappeared afterwards.
- Phantom Freddy
- Phantom Chica
- Phantom Foxy
- Phantom Balloon Boy
- Phantom Mangle
- Phantom Puppet
Nightmare Animatronics[]
These animatronic are monstrous and terrifying, featuring protruding wires, cracked and broken suits and multiple rows of sharp teeth. Although some details hint at them being something more sinister, they are widely considered to be just what their name suggests, nightmares haunting the dreams of Michael Afton. Assuming this is true, they aren't physical animatronics. Jack-O-Bonnie, Jack-O-Chica, Nightmarionne, and Nightmare Mangle are special cases, seeing as they weren't haunting any dreams; They are literal video game characters in-universe. Another one of the animatronics, Nightmare, is connected to Shadow Freddy, which might mean he's more sinister than everyone else.

Funtime Animatronics[]
These animatronics were the stars of Circus Baby's Entertainment & Rental, created by Afton Robotics, LLC. They are clown-like robots which have opening faceplates, wire endoskeletons, and are made out of metal. They were specifically built and programmed to kill and abduct children for William. The first four gained a degree of sentience and escaped the underground facility with the "help" of Afton's son, Michael, as Ennard. Those four robots were eventually lured into a trap and destroyed alongside their creator. Circus Baby is possessed by Elizabeth Afton, William's daughter, but it's unknown if the others are possessed as well. Bonnet is a literal video game character in-universe, like some of the previously mentioned Nightmare animatronics.

Rockstar Animatronics[]
Animatronics made in the image of the classics, these animatronics have sleeker proportions and plastic exoskeletons to look like rock stars, hence the name. Like the Mediocre Melodies and Trash and the Gang, they are purchasable items in Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Simulator, but take on antagonistic roles in Ultimate Custom Night. Lefty was created to capture the Puppet inside himself.
Twisted Animatronics[]
Similarly to the Nightmare animatronics, these animatronics are supernatural and nightmarish in appearance, as well as organic features and growths all over their bodies. The Twisted Ones each have sharp claws and stomach containers that allow them to kidnap even adults. Also created and used as servants by William Afton, they use illusion discs to give themselves their appearances and abilities. They only appear in the Novel Trilogy, and therefore all of them are non-canon to the game continuity.
Glamrock Animatronics[]
The most advanced animatronics so far, they are the main stars of Freddy Fazbear's Mega PizzaPlex. One of them, Glamrock Freddy, is a heroic character helping the child named Gregory. However, the others have been hacked and are out to kill the child, leading to them getting destroyed by him and later left to rot at the now abandoned PizzaPlex after a earthquake destroyed the whole place. They would then tried to kill a another child named Cassie under the control of the M.X.E.S. However, Roxanne Wolf manage to redeem herself after encountering Cassie (who was one of Roxy's biggest fans), which ended up saving her from the Mimic near the very end.
