Moon, also known as Moondrop, is a major antagonist in the Steel Wool era of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise, serving as a major antagonist in Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, a minor antagonist in its sequel DLC Ruin, and the secondary antagonist of Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2.
It is the malevolent "night" persona of the Daycare Attendant, the animatronic who patrols the Superstar Daycare. Moon is a humanoid animatronic with a moon-shaped head (hence its name) who is active when the lights are off. The second persona of the Attendant, Sun, is afraid of Moon and seeks to keep the lights on to stop it from coming out.
Once the Pizzaplex was destroyed following an earthquake, the Daycare Attendant became incredibly damaged with Sun and Moon continuing to fight for control. When a girl called Cassie arrived to save her friend Gregory, she unified Moon with Sun to create the newer, friendlier persona called Eclipse, ending its threat.
It is voiced by Kellen Goff, who also voices Funtime/Molten Freddy, Fredbear and Glamrock Freddy in the same series, as well as other characters such as Kai Chisaki in My Hero Academia, Fiddlesticks in League of Legends, Hans in Konosuba, Diavolo in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, Rekka Hoshimiya in Fire Force, Zagred in Black Clover, Father Spider Demon in Demon Slayer, and Techno Pirate in Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.
Personality[]
Moon is the evil counterpart of the Daycare Attendant. It wants to punish kids for "staying up past their bedtime" and has a raspier and more sinister voice. It is also sadistic and takes joy in hunting after Gregory, telling him to hide while he's being chased. It's implied Moon destroyed numerous S.T.A.F.F. bots, once again showcasing its sadistic nature.
History[]
Backstory[]
As revealed in the Tales from the Pizzaplex books, the so-called "Daycare Attendant" was originally an animatronic performer at the Fazbear Theater, with Moon being the evil alter-ego for whenever the lights went off. When it was reprogrammed to serve in the Superstar Daycare, Fazbear Entertainment decided to delete Moon; however, it was proved to be impossible to get rid of it, with it turning into a glitch. Additionally, the daycare would have constant black-outs that allowed Moon to unleash. Deciding it would cost too much money to fix either the lights or the Attendant, the company would let Moon stay but put generators in the play structures of the daycare to have the lights turned on at all times.
Tales from the Pizzaplex[]
Somniphobia[]
An astral projection of Moon serves as the main antagonist.
Bobbiedots, Part 1[]
When Abe is teaching Preston how to fix the generators at the Superstar Daycare, he explains the Attendant's origins. Right as he finishes, Moon himself appears, tauntingly calling him a naughty boy. Thankfully, the generators are turned on, turning Moon into Sun.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach[]
The Daycare Attendant first appears in the daycare as Sun. Sun dives into the ball pit and grabs Gregory when gets close. Whenever Gregory tries to move, it will bring the child back to the same spot. Gregory must distract Sun by knocking over some cans, forcing it to pick them up. While Gregory is at the desk, the lights will suddenly turn off, causing Sun to transform into Moon.
To turn the lights back on, Gregory has to turn on all five back up generators within the play area and avoid being caught by Moon. After turning them all on, Moon reverts to Sun, angry that Gregory broke the rules, Sun kicks him out of the daycare, but not before alerting the other animatronics that Gregory was there.
After that point, the lights' power is diverted to the recharge stations and will turn off at the end of every hour, allowing Moon to freely roam the mall and hunt down Gregory. When this happens, Gregory must hide in Glamrock Freddy and get to a recharge station immediately. If they don't get to a recharge station in time, Moon will jumpscare Gregory and cause a game over.
Later in the game, Moon attacks Freddy, and sadistically waves at Gregory, who is hiding in a recharge station, before dragging the former away.
Moon becomes active for the final time at 5:55 AM. After this, if Gregory chooses to stay, Moon will no longer be active for the remainder of the game.
If at any point Gregory attempts to re-enter the daycare play structure area, Sun will block his way before yelling for security.
Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted 2[]
Moon is the most recurring antagonist in the game, trying to kill the protagonist in several levels. It appears in Sun's carousel level, where it takes control of Sun and tries to kill the protagonist, only to be fended off by a flashlight. Later, a Jack-O-Lantern version of Moon stalks the protagonist during a shooting/throwing level. Finally, it appears in one of the final levels, the Paper Pals, where it tries to kill the protagonist while they are constructing the Paper Pals.
In the secret ending achieved by beating Princess Quest 4, Moon takes away the Glitchtrap plushie from the protagonist. It then gives it to Vanny: when the plushie becomes the real Glitchtrap, she then either teleports him somewhere or kills him.
Ruin[]
Once Cassie enters the daycare, she is attacked by Moon, who almost kills her. Once it returns, Sun is in control, begging the girl to turn on the generators to stop its evil counterpart. Cassie does this while Moon tries to stop her, claiming "no more Sun". Once the generators are turned on, the Attendant stands in one place, glitching. Cassie puts her faz-wrench into the back of the Attendant's head, causing Moon to glitch out before being replaced with "Eclipse". It claims that this is no place for a young girl like Cassie, taking her out of the Daycare while happily thinking more kids will arrive tomorrow. Once the doors close, Sun thanks Cassie for ending Moon.

Trivia[]
- Judging by its screams of agony, it's likely that Sun's transformation into Moon is painful.
- As Moon gets striked by the lights, it's also likely that its weakness of brightness & transform back to Sun is even painful.
- A customer complaint has an angry parent reveal that her child, who previously had no sleep-related issues, has begun refusing to sleep with the lights off and started wetting the bed after being left there. It is implied that said child has been traumatized by Moon.
- Seeing they both have strings on them, Moon might be a marionette similar to the Puppet. However, they both seem to be able to move just fine without any strings attached and only use them for quick travel from place to place.
- Sun and Moon might be a reference to Jekyll and Hyde, respectively.
- With the books revealing Moon was always Sun's "evil side" who exists only due to a glitch, Moon seems to be one of the animatronics who isn't under the control of the Mimic.
- Before Ruin came out, many fans called Moon's new form "Eclipse". It is a reference to the fact it seems to be Sun and Moon merged together. Additionally, Eclipse is a popular fan-made character based on the in-universe Balloon World minigame, whose secret ending features an evil version of Sun with a dark face, glowing eyes and teeth, and Moon's smile.
- Once the game released, it was ironically revealed that Eclipse really is a third personality of the Daycare Attendant, but a friendly one which released only after Moon was rebooted.
- If one counts Moon being replaced with Eclipse as a death/ditched (of personality), then it and Montgomery Gator are the only Security Breach animatronics to be killed in the Ruin DLC.
