I am your wickedness, made of flesh.
~ Nightmare's Famous Quote

Nightmare is the final antagonist of the 2015 survival horror video game Five Nights at Freddy's 4 and a supporting antagonist in it's spinoff Ultimate Custom Night. He is a more dangerous and nightmarish version of Nightmare Fredbear who stalks the child on the final night. His true identity is unknown, and he is theorized to be a manifestation of the grim reaper taking the life of the Crying Child, another form of Shadow Freddy, or the crying child himself tormenting his older brother.

Appearance[]

He is clearly based on Nightmare Fredbear, being some sort of demonic version of the already demonic looking Fredbear. Unlike Nightmare Fredbear, his skin is translucent, exposing all of his animatronic parts. Upon closer examination, a black mass resides in Nightmare's head.

He is black with a yellow hat and bow tie, the yellow hat having a black trim on it.

FNAF 4[]

Just like Nightmare Fredbear on Night 6, on Night 7 and Night 8, he takes the same role, appearing at 4 AM, and replacing all animatronics, taking up their duties. He must be handled the same way, but Nightmare is more aggressive than Nightmare Fredbear. Also, he always directly appears at the doorway. Upon being attacked by him, he will appear in a screen similar to Golden Freddy instead of a complete animation. His existence is unexplained, and his purpose is unknown. He is acknowledged in the gallery as a separate entity from Nightmare Fredbear, meaning that he must have some sort of significance.

Quotes[]

YOU WILL NOT BE SPARED. YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED.
I WILL VOMIT YOU BACK... TO RELIEVE YOUR HORROR.
I AM HERE TO CLAIM... WHAT IS LEFT OF YOU.
